Chapter 73 Nicolai took a deep breath. The sound of the loud howl echoed wide through the sky awakening a few other echoes from the distance. The nearby tribes heard their alpha’s howl and they replied back. ‘I wonder what they are talking about....’ he thought as he glanced at the huge wolf that was at his foot. Looking at Wolfie’s golden fur, he was so tempted to just comb his fingers through the fluffy fur, and he even wanted to just face plant into his body. ‘Ahem, I can’t lose my dignity like that. Focus Nico,’ he told himself whilst clearing his throat. The alpha wolf glanced his way. Wolfie’s eyes had a weird shine as he glanced at him. There was a primal need and hunger hidden in his eyes. Nicolai broke his gaze and refused to look into his eyes again. It only muddled his brain and distracted him completely from his purpose. Today’s purpose was to extend his authority over to the pack. He did not expect to achieve it with so much ease. With Wolfie the alpha wolf at his f
What is a werewolf’s power? They were physically strong and able to tackle down any prey that is substantially larger than them. Their bodies can easily heal and also shift into their wolf form when in distress. Their night vision is spectacular and their sense of smell is something out of the world. Comparing that to a vampire’s strength, there were a lot of places where vampire comes below them. Vampires are not physically strong. They are susceptible to burn in the sun, not tan. They can’t run as fast as a werewolf or smell anything distinct. Without blood, vampires lose their energy and their body digresses faster than any human. What is their plus point? Age, immortality. Vampires became substantially strong than the other two races only because they were immortal. As time passed, they made connections, collected riches and a vast amount of knowledge that made them superior. They were the apex predator and feared upon only because of this quality. ‘now he is telling me… we…
“no!! hunter move!!!” the elk was directly charging at Hunter.Nico rushed up, but before he could even make a move, Dylan’s figure jumped out of their hiding spot and tacked the elk down with his huge frame.Dust and fallen leaves flew around, clouding their vision.Nico hurriedly went to hunter and Issac and checked on them. They both were unharmed, albeit slightly spooked by the event.A small whine was heard. He glanced back to see Dylan had already tackled the elk down, but he did not kill it yet. He gave him a glance.“What are you looking at me for? go on and kill it. It’s your prey,””Dylan still kept looking at him.“I don’t really understand you when you are in your wolf form, you know….” Nico whispered softly with a slight blush on his face.All of a sudden, the five-foot wolf transformed into the six-foot handsome blond man. “I was telling you to drink from it. You didn’t drink a lot of blood in the banquet, so I thought maybe you might want some,”Nico was blinking at him
“should we leave..” Hunter whispered softly, glancing at the pair on the shore. Issac rolled his eyes. “they don’t care about us. what’s the use in leaving? Least just enjoy the water a bit,” he lapped around for a bit. The cooling water was refreshing. He cleaned off the bloodstains. A few carbs swam around “I’ll catch some for Kiran. He likes fish,” Hunter excitedly swam around. His loud sounds pulled the dazed couple out of their mesmerized state. Nicolai cleared his throat and pulled away. “ahem… I.. I’ll clean myself up and we will deal with the elks.” He swiftly jumped into the water hiding his face completely Dylan sat on the side and placed a huge leaf on his lap hiding his man bits. Nico was especially sensitive about it. Lapping in the water his mate looked like a little angel. His slightly curly brown hair was floating behind him. And his eyes. They looked amber. Dylan felt the single leaf on his lap was not enough to cover up. he swiftly piled up a bunch of leaves o
After saying his part, Dylan got out of the water and swiftly changed into his wolf form. he shook off the water from his fur and in an instant, he was fully dry. Nico on the other hand was left in the river completely stunned. He never expected to hear such words. ‘family…. Family…. We are family? When….’ In the distance, he could hear Hunter and Issac happily playing around and in his memory, he remembered Kiran Elijah, Darius and Avery happily chatting. They were happy. Even when they were in the island, they were not that happy. They were surviving. But now… they were living. The children were happily playing. Everyone liked it here. Maybe Matt didn’t like it. But the others loved it. ‘we are home…..’ “Here, come out, don’t get sick,” Dylan held out his hand. Nico dazedly took his hand and climbed out of the river. His wet pants cling to his legs and water dripped down his chest. A cold draft made him shiver slightly. “oh.. you’re cold,” Dylan awkwardly took the wet clothe
Nico followed behind the trail the bear had left behind. a small scratch mark on the tree trunk came to view. He paused and let the others wait behind him. Gently his fingertips touched the groves created by the sharp claws. “The mark is deep. the bear we are searching for is most likely a fully grown adult bear. I see multiple claw marks around us,” he pointed to the other trees. the nearby trees also had the same marks. he even found a small scuff of hair stuck on one of the hard barks. “We are searching for a solitary brown bear.” he said frowning. solitary brown bears are quite dangerous. when provoked they are easier to ire. in fact most accidents related to bear attacks are associated with single bears. ‘This hunt could be very dangerous, should I really take the kids with me,’ he glanced at the two who were eagerly glancing at him. “I have never seen a bear before. Are they as fluffy as a cloud? I want to make a winter coat out of its hide,” Hunter whispered excitedly, I
Nicolai blindly walked over to the river bed and started to clean himself up. ‘gosh it’s in my nose!!!’ he hurriedly wiped his nose. “Here,” Dylan sat down next to him and poured a hand full of water on his face. Somehow this made things worse. The Mud flowed down into his eyes and ears. “Ow! It’s in my eyes! It’s in my eyes take it out,” he hurriedly tried to wash it away but the grimy dirt did not budge. The eyes started to burn slightly. “Shit don’t panic. Here.” Dylan suddenly lifted him up. “What are you doing!?” “I’m taking you deeper into the river. Just dunk your head and open your eyes underwater.” He whispered ever so softly. Nico obliged. He did as he was told and the dust in his eyes was gone long after. Taking a deep breath, he slicked back the soaking wet hair out of his face. “I think that the mud was mixed in with poo,” “I think so too,” Dylan let out a laugh. “Do I smell like poo?” “I think you do,” he whispered with a small smile. “gods.,..” Nico dunked onc
The claw marks were bleeding only for ten minutes but after that, it started to show signs of healing. Nico watched in awe. He had heard that werewolves were surprisingly good at healing their wounds, but he had never expected that it would be this good. It was just ten minutes! ‘maybe he is the alpha king….’ He tore a piece of his pant leg and gently wiped the wound until it was completely healed. Dylan, who was in his wolf form, glanced back at him with his golden eyes shining. It was obvious that Wolfie was in control. He gently touched his chin. “Why did you act so irresponsibly? I told you to run. We could have escaped with our speed. Now….” He glanced at the wound and then at the shore. The two bear cubs were hesitantly stood there trying to step onto the water. They seem to shy away, feeling the chill of it. They were whining sadly. Nicolai sighed. “We have to retrieve the body,” he dragged the bear out of the water and the cubs immediately rushed to the momma bear. They cl
Long Ki softly sobbed. "Raijin, my brother. Have I lost you forever? Why won't you reply? Are you angry with me because I broke our seal? I broke it because I want you to be by my side as an equal nit as a servant or as a slave. So please, come back my friend." His words ended up in a loud sob as he watched the blank-looking wolf.He slowly stumbled closer. "Raijin…..please…please answer me? Please, I beg of you," he whispered softly.The grey wolf stepped back and suddenly growled at him."It's going to be okay, my friend, I will save you," Long Ki whispered with his hands outstretched, his spiritual powers flowed out like a soft stream towards the wolf.Raijin became quiet, wary of it and evaded it. He jumped high and low, but Long Ki spiritual energy flowed behind him like a little tail. Frustrated, it jumped down from the building and changed towards the red dragon.
All of a sudden, the Grey wolf's bones cracked."What is going one?" Felia shouted.Long Ki laughed. "He is changing…he is changing back,"Slowly but surely, Raijin's human form was returning. His fluffy tail retracted to form a small spine. His snout snapped back into his nose and mouth and all his hair. It just disappeared.Raijin stood naked, blinking at them. "Im back?" he glanced down at his hands again. Felia in his arms glanced up and softly kissed his cheeks. "Yes, you are…you are back! Oh, I was so worried. Raijin, I won't leave you ever again, I promise." She cried, hugging him tightly."ow," he softly groaned."What is wrong?" Felia pulled him farther and peered at him. His stomach was badly wounded and was bleeding profusely. "Oh my god, what to do? You need medicine. I will bring you medicine," she shouted frantically.
"This can't be. Ki can't be dead!" Yukiya shook her head in disbelief. The little red egg that was rolling around in the corner jumped over to her and nudged her."no...something is wrong…. I have to see for myself," she mumbled and shot out of the watering hole. For a second she couldn't breathe. She panted, lying on the ground. The little red egg nudged her hands worriedly.'I have to breathe…I have to change,' she thought as she pulled herself up by her forearm. Her gills were not adaptable to breathe out of water and was suffocating her.She gasped as he crawled through the floor. The red egg worriedly followed behind her.Yukiya held the egg close safely in her embrace, "its….it's okay....I'm..fine," she gasped as her breath came out in pants. Slowly her gills fully closed up, letting a layer of flesh grow on it.Losing her gills, she was f
"Yukiya…what are you doing here? Are you hurt anywhere?" Long Ki pulled his stunned wife and checked her all over. She did not have any wounds, but her tears kept rolling down her face. He gently wiped them away and kissed her red eyes. "What is it, dear? Why are you crying? Did anyone bully you?""You…you did. You bullied me," Yukiya sobbed out loud and jumped into his embrace."Huh? But I didn't bully you though," Long Ki mumbled, soothingly caressing her head. 'why did she have such an absurd thought?' he thought as he softly hugged her trembling shoulders. On her back, he felt something vibrating violently. "What's in your bag?"Yukiya pulled her head from his chest and sniffed loudly. "It's our child…" she said guiltily."you brought our child here. Yukiya, what were you thinking," Long Ki swiftly pulled the bag from her shoulders and carefully cupped the incub
Bright light.....that was Xia's initial thought as he woke up. He slowly blinked open his tired eyes. Unfamiliar ceiling was what he first noticed. "A different inn?" he softly mumbled as he sat up, supporting his weight. The window next to him was side open, letting in bright sunlight. "When did I lose consciousness though?"After he dropped off Felia and Farah he swiftly jumped over roof and got to the spot. From his vantage point, all he could see was dust and flames. Xia frowned. He was not able to see Long Aotian anywhere. He was about to jump down when all of a sudden he lost consciousness.Xia scratched his head, trying to remember more. "Why did I faint like that? Was I drugged?" he sniffed her small red clothes but there was a residual scent on him, only that strong perfume was left behind. "Then, maybe our inn was destroyed in the struggle," he whispered. He slowly woke up, changed his clothes and walked out of the do
"LET ME OUT!" Yukiya shouted once again. The ghoul outside sighed. "Young miss, I can't deactivate this shield. Only your man can do that. Please don't make me repeat myself," he whispered kindly."Repeat my ass. You bullshit. Open this right now or call that bastard here I will knock some sense into him," Yukiya glare at him.The ghoul sighed deeply. "I'm helpless. Even I'm not sure where he is,'"Then go find him. I need him here right now. How dare that bastard trap me here?""But he did it for your own safety,""Safety? I don't need that. I'm a sky level cultivator. It's not like I'm useless fiddle. I can take care of myself VERY WELL," Yukiya shouted, banging the shield loudly. All of a sudden she felt something soft nudge her leg. She glanced down to see her little egg nudging her softly. She picked him up and caressed his dry surface. "Baby, it's time to g ba
Yukiya sighed. It had already been twenty-four hours since they had left them. Night had come and gone, and she was still stuck inside the shield. She tapped on it and sighed. "This is so annoying. So you know? I used to set up a shield just like this for my son whenever I leave town. I thought it would keep him safe but.....now that I'm experiencing it. It feels like a prison.""No one will have such a fancy prison life," the ghoul softly said, gesturing to the half bit peach in her hand.Yukiya scoffed and took another bite out of the juicy fruit, "how is this fancy? It's a necessity. I'm the mother of his child, of course he has to provide for me. That bastard, just talking about him brings a bad taste in my mouth" she tossed the peach pit and stomped on it. The Little egg pitifully nudging her leg again and again without any rest. The red core of the egg silently watched the remaining peach in her hand. "This..You can't eat
Two hours..... For bloody two hours Xia had to act like he was asleep. The worse was that the scar faced man already knew he was awake, yet he was doing 'this and that' with Hua Jung right next to him. Xia silently bit the duvet, holding back his tears. 'Long, I'm being bullied. My poor ears have been assaulted by their torturous act. Darn it when will they leave I have to enter the pearl space,'He heard a low moan next to him. He silently held back his tears of agony. 'my poor dragon soul, I think I understand your pain now only.'Soon enough she heard soft snores. 'Is it over? Is it done?'"Enough acting. Go to sleep for really this time. Staying up too late is not good for you," the scar faced man said with a smile on his face.Xia peaked out and glared at him. "Why didn't you leave? My poor ears are bleeding,""Then put some medicine on it." he laughed so
The six followed after the nimble spider. It darted through many small crevices and small hole, but still they were able to easily follow along. It rushed past the streets and entered the docks. Only a huge ship was docked right in front of the planks."Xia...he must be in there," Aotian cheerfully rushed over. But the spider stepped shyly away from the boat. It moved side by side and tried to jump on it.With his sword, Aotian gently lifted it and placed it on the boat sides. It crawled up and into it.They all followed it in. But the spider did not go down the deck, rather it ran across and climbed on the other side of the wooden boat. It anxiously moved side to side anxiously glancing at the open ocean.Long Ki stepped forward and held onto his brother's shoulders. "Xiao Tian, it looks like your lover was taken away through sea,"Aotian growled at him and swiftly
