Chapter 22

Esson removed the mask that partially covered his face. He let out a long sigh before finally saying...

"I don't like sharing, let alone using other people's marks."

The person Aleta recognized as Ethan was Esson Ricardo. The man was disguised as a prisoner who was placed in the same cell as Aleta. But what was the man's purpose in doing so.

"You need to start thinking seriously Gordon!" Esson said. He walked over to the sofa in the room, sat down on it, picked up a magazine and read it. Not caring about the moaning sounds that echoed throughout the room.

"Yeah... just wait, just a minute... we'll talk about everything when we're done," Gordon said in a breathless voice.

"Aaahhh, what a sickening sound," Esson muttered.

After about half an hour, there were subtle moans and sighs from Gordon and the woman he was playing with. That signaled that Gordon's game was over. Despite being quite annoyed at being made to wait for so long, Esson still sat quietly on the sofa.

After a while, the woman Gordon was playing with put her clothes back on and left the room. Meanwhile, Gordon just put his pants back on and got off the bed. He walked over to Esson and sat on the sofa not far from him shirtless as he leaned his head back.

"You enjoyed that," Gordon asked.

"Which one, your game with the woman?" Esson asked back.

"Of course not, you idiot!" the man argued.

"That girl... you enjoyed the time I gave you to be with that girl?" Gordon corrected the context of his question.

"Yes... very much. That woman is very easy to manipulate," Esson said after closing the magazine he was carrying.

"The first time we met, I thought it would be difficult to influence her thinking. But it seems... she is a girl who will open up under certain circumstances. And her weakness is family... isn't that sweet?" Esson seemed to smile happily.

"Hey... you're playing with my heart," Gordon guessed.

"Partly yes... partly not really. But getting it isn't a loss," Esson replied.

Esson leaned his head on the sofa and closed his eyes. Imagining the girl's pheromone scent was sweet and enticing.

"It seems like that girl is special isn't it. I know you, you can't be that easily attracted to someone. Are you the same as Dave?" the man asked.

"I'm not the same as that asshole!" Esson said with emotion. Esson would never want to be confused with his own brother. Even if they did look alike.

"Ha ha ha, but that's the truth isn't it? Even the tastes of the girls you like are the same." Gordon burst out laughing.

"No, there is a difference between us regarding this girl. Dave likes this girl with his heart. Whereas I like this girl because I can use her."

"I can hardly believe that I'd be working with the sister of my own enemy. But you're right, you two are different. You're smarter by taking my side this time," Gordon retorted. Di smiled sarcastically.

"No need to pretend. We're only here for one common purpose. Now tell me, what is your plan after I get close to that girl," Esson asked curiously.

"It's easy, you just need to approach her and take her heart. Not to make her fall in love. Just make her trust you. I'll call her and get her on our side my way," said Gordon.

"Are you sure this will work?" asked Esson suspiciously.

"You better explain to me what your plan is!" Esson added.

"Ha ha ha, you're really curious hmmm?" Gordon got up from the chair and walked towards the window that had been covered by dark curtains. He removed the curtain and opened the window to breathe in the fresh air.

"You'll find out soon enough, but not now! But clearly, Davia will feel the pain of being betrayed and killed by the one she loves," Gordon said with a sardonic smile.

The tense atmosphere at night was full of bloodshed. Bodies full of lacerations looked meaningless lying on the ground.

This was the seconds leading up to the night of the full moon, the night where the werewolves changed to their true form.

Theo, Alvin and Davian wiped the blood from their faces after a fierce battle. They were in a secluded forest on the edge of a lake where the light of the full moon would easily enter into view without being covered by the pollution of the city environment.

Yes... Times have changed. As werewolves, they had to blend in and hide their identity from the outside world. Battles that consumed a lot of energy and blood were not uncommon anymore. That's why they spread out, establishing their own societies. Sabotaging all forms of defense, making a living as a Mafia to survive.

Theo, Alvin and Davian began to feel the energy that permeated their bodies as the first moon appeared. Tonight is the strongest point of the wolf nation to gain their strength naturally.

Davian breathed in, feeling the scent of the night creeping into his heart. It had been days since he lost Aleta. And it had been days since Theo and Alvin deliberately kept him busy.

All the problems that Davian's men used to handle, he now faced alone with the help of Theo and Alvin. All of that was done not so that Davian would forget Aleta, because that was clearly impossible. They are just buying time so that Davian doesn't get more frustrated.

Davian was born into a war with blood, living in misunderstanding, the pain of bloodshed could only be diverted by the way he was born.

"Aaahhh how many people have we killed," Theo said with a sigh.

"About 50? or 100? I'm too lazy to count," Alvin replied with a lazy face.

Don't think they did it for no reason. The people they killed were people who deserved to die. Well, at least deserved to die in their eyes.

The only person who was silent at the moment was Davian. I don't know what was going through his mind at the moment. He... had waited too long.

Until a few moments later... the sound of wolf howls began to be heard one after another. So it wasn't just the three of them who were around the forest.

"Are we going to party this time? My hunch says they're here," Theo said casually with a shrug.

Yes... the wolf howls were different from the usual pack. It seemed like there were uninvited guests who wanted to meet with Davian.

"It just so happens that I also want to make a calculation tonight." And finally Davian made a sound that meant it would be a bad omen for the uninvited guest.
