I stirred awake and heard what I could only describe as death throes and hard falls of bodies on the even harder ground. No sooner did they fall than a strong force tried to break down the iron door. At the second blast, the door visibly contorted in an irregular shape. Fear coursed through my very veins at this new force. Could Vincent have decided it was time for him to take my powers and was done waiting for whatever he was waiting for? In a moment the door was blown almost completely off its hinges and I saw the ‘strong force’.“Chloe, I’m here now. I’m here my Love.” Mark said he picked me up and held me close in his arms. I cried and felt him to see if he was real. He was.“Mark, are you here?” I questioned him with sobs of relief.“I’m here Chloe. I’m here. It’s alright now. Everything is going to be alright my love.” Mark comforted me the way only he could. By being there for me.“I’m sorry, Mark. I’m so sorry. You warned me not to and I didn’t lRelated chapters

ANDER’s MOONVINCENTI attacked my brother ferociously with all the strength I could muster, which was a fair lot. I was not prepared for Mark to match my speed and strength, we traded blows for blows and I could hear Mark tell Chloe to get out of there and go find Mackenzie. Little did they know…Mark swept a fast claw in an uppercut motion and as I leaned back to avoid the slash he made to speedily sweep my feet from under me. I jumped and landed a hard kick on his face that got deflected by his ever-ready hands. He took a step back from me and I saw him truly for the first time. It would seem I wasn’t the only one who had an upgrade in powers and looks. “You performed the bonding ritual, brother?” I asked him. He thought he could take my place, my birthright.“I started it too. And just like you, if I don’t finish the ritual tonight. I die.” Mark said without the least bit of fear in his eyes.“Ritual or not, brother. You die tonight.” I said as I lunged

ANDER’S MOONCHLOEMark had urged me to leave the courtyard where he did battle with his brother. I was rooted to the spot for a moment as I observed the deadly battle as they visibly danced to bloodthirsty tunes only they could hear. I left the courtyard and made my way outside to find sheer chaos about me. Werewolves fought and maimed each other everywhere around me but no signs of my daughter in the ensuing violent mess of things. I looked for her with all I had. The more time went by, the more I started to doubt whether I’d see her, but the more frantic I searched too. The pain of losing Mackenzie yet again was physical at this point. I settled on the ground with my right hand pounding my aching chest. My heart hurt and as I sat there in all the helplessness, I heard all the werewolves outside howl loudly at the moon. Their collective howling made me look. Only then did I observe the moon for the first time? Ander’s moon lurked in the night sky. Like a regular full moon but it had

MARKI drove home to the recently renovated Pope mansion as thoughts of the recent past rumbled in my mind. I buried my brother side by side with his mother. Members of the Pack not seen in Drewsy for decades returned to Drewsy after the funeral, they stayed away from the Dennison family because of Jacinta and Pascal’s purge. Many of them knew my parents and we’re quite sorry to hear that Jane passed. She had lived with some of them while she was on the run and she had grown up with some of them. News had reached them that Jane Vandersen was alive after she made her appearance at Grown Man’s Valley. It was a new age for the Pack and peace reigned for the first time in a long time, for the bonding ritual was finally completed with me as Pack alpha from the Pope family. My family would rule for the next 150 years and hand over Pack leadership to the Porters. For they were next in line for the Drewsy Pack leadership. Upon my ascension as alpha, I made the Ascension public knowledge, now

MARKLife was different and a lot better with my brother gone. In the very least having no one wanting to kill you at any given time was a relief.But then I had more; A family.All my life I had never really had that. Growing up with the Dennisons was not very heartwarming. I was an outcast, Jacinta hated me and Vincent only ever saw me as competition. But now I had a real family, that I’d love and would love me back.These thoughts washed through my mind as I watched Chloe sleep. It was barely day, with the sun peeping out the horizon to the sound of the early bird.I got out of bed soon though to prepare for work. After Vincent’s and Jacinta’s death, I was in charge of the Dennison family company as well as being pack Alpha. I had not wanted any of the positions but it was vacant and it was my duty both as Vincent’s brother and as my father’s son, a Pope, to step up.With the pack, it was easier. There was a hierarchy for dominance and most of the wer

MARK“The pack Elders have summoned you…to a congress of some sort.”I stared at Pascal with a bit of hesitation. For all my time as a Dennison, I’ve never heard the pack elders call Vincent to a meeting during his time as alpha. I couldn’t help but be skeptical about it.“…and you’re their errand boy, uncle?” “Oh, no …Heavens no.” He chuckled. “They’re not very fond of me. They are going to leave you a message pretty soon.”I thought that raised a couple of questions. “Firstly, How do you know this?” Pascal leaned back on the hood of my car before he answered. I moved closer to him, now more engaged than I had been.“I’m old, Mark, very old”, he started. “I can assure you that you don’t understand how much yet. Anyway, you don’t get to be this old without picking up a few things.” He finished, gesturing with both hands to himself in a rather gratuitous manner. I wasn’t satisfied with his reply, but I had something more important in mind

MARKThe Cleveland estate was huge. Even though it looked like it had been standing for a thousand years, it still managed to look regal.Pascal trailed behind me as we climbed up the stairs to the main entrance to the courtyard. He seemed a little hesitant about being here. Still, he remained mostly expressionless as he always was.He probably was not on good terms with most of the pack elders due to his former involvement with Jacinta. The only reason why I think he wasn’t being hunted down was due to how powerful he was. Any werewolf in their right mind wouldn’t want to go against Pascal Dennison. That fact still did not keep his emotions in check all the time. He still seemed wary. I could see why he stayed away from pack activities All this time.In the Courtyard was a large round Marble table with twelve intricately carved chairs around it. In it sat the nine elders, heads of their respective families. The empty seats probably belonged to Chloe’s family. I wond

CHLOE“Wolves are social creatures, they move in families called Packs. And when the moon is full, they howl at the moon.”I could hear Mackenzie’s voice over the sound of the radio as she told her little brother stories about animals. She seemed to have a new obsession with wolves, I’d like to think that was a coincidence. The Drewsy Pack usually kept all information about their true nature from their children till the children turned 10 years of age. The change could be too much for the young wolf to bear. It usually ended up in a catastrophe, traumatizing the child and even causing self-alienation from the Pack.“Mummy, can we please get some Ice cream, please? You promised.”I'd been waiting for her to say that Mackenzie could forget her backpack in the house and settle into the car all ready for school, but she never forgot an ice cream promise.“Of course, baby girl.”I said with laughter in my voice at the pleading look on Mackenzie’s face. She started

MARKChloe was asleep beside me as the affairs of the day played out in my mind. I calmly told my wife that it was all fine and that there was nothing to worry about. If only that was the case. The look on Chloe’s face right before she went to get dinner ready was the scariest I’d ever seen her. Because she meant every word she had said. Chloe and I had been through a lot. Had a lot taken from us, so it was no surprise she was willing to crack heads and spill the blood of whoever was going to try to take the happiness we’ve found together, away from us. I would seek divine retribution for anyone who hurts my family…The fear of losing them loomed bigger than anything I’d ever faced. So I unconsciously said a prayer: Oh God I’m sorry. Please don’t take these beautiful things that I got.Chloe stirred at my side and snuggled up to me. I held her closer as my thoughts ran miles a minute with my fears.I took up my phone and called the only person I thought I could trust. The Pack elders

MARKThe pure undiluted rage pumping through my veins seemed to overflow and fill my senses. All I could see was red and I was going to make sure Ronald felt that rage.I pounced on him and he braced himself in response as we crashed into the marble table in the center of the room reducing it to a million tiny pieces.Ronald seemed to recover first and made to swipe at my face with bared claws and a maniacal grin on his face. But Pascal intervened, grabbed him from behind, and threw into the wall with sufficient force that made Ronald-shaped cracks in it. Pascal stretched his arm out to help me up which I took. I looked at him a bit quizzically. All the time I’ve known him I had never seen him intervene physically in any conflict in the pack or even in his family apart from the training he gave me and Vincent. The fact he was fighting with me now, especially against someone who actually shared a blood relationship with him made me feel a type of way that was difficu

FANGROOTMARKI sat there and simply processed what I’d been told. Christian Packard had allowed himself to get caught because he would rather we catch him than go back to Ronald’s clutches. Ronald Dennison, the new thorn at my side. He was powerful, undoubtedly so. Testament to his ability was his seamless invasion into my home. Now I know how. Wolves have always been social creatures, from the wolves in the wild to the more advanced kind, we have always been social creatures, and we’ve depended on our senses. A werewolf has a heightened sense of smell and hearing, impeccable vision, and most of all, what we rely on is our ability to sense our immediate environment, the energy around us, and the general life force.But there was a werewolf who could manipulate al

FANGROOT CHLOEAlone. Unaided, that’s how he did it. Ronald had successfully invaded my home and showed me what we all knew now. That we were completely at his mercy. I didn’t know it at the time, but Mark had half a dozen werewolves watching over us when he left the house. He had two monitors outside the gates, another two on the grounds of our property, and two more on patrol. Yet not even one of them smelled his entry, much less saw him enter. He sat in my chair and threatened to end everything I cared about in the world and we don’t even know how. Logically it was almost impossible to avoid the senses of six well developed werewolves on guard. Avoiding just one werewolf’s senses was lucky, avoiding two was considered divine luck. Avoiding three, now that would require divine luck and help from others. Avoiding Six was Ronald. And no one else. I knew Dennisons. I know the feeling of having your existence be threatened by one of them.Mark had left the house ye

MarkThe unusual blend of dread and determination in my wife’s eyes was something I’d never seen before and it made my heart sink. I felt a bit of fear too but the rage mostly overshadowed it.Ronald had managed to get into my house despite the couple of wolves I had put on guard duty to watch my family. What was worse was that he also managed to get Mackenzie to ingest something and neither I nor Chloe knew exactly what it was. We were again at the mercy of one of Vincent’s goons. I could only imagine how distraught that made Chloe feel.The children were asleep now but she refused to take her eyes off them. She sat in their room and watched them as they slept. I, on the other hand, had to figure something out. I can’t sit on my hands while my family remains at Ronald’s mercy. I was so consumed by rage so much that I wanted to go to the Caldor lands myself and rip his head off with my teeth, consequences be damned. Besides I was only raised with the Dennison family

CHLOEMark had gone to meet with his uncle and once again I was left at home with the kids. Mackenzie and Victor were my joy and reasons for living, but It was hard. It always was, sitting and waiting for the men in my life to cause problems and to solve problems, with me, left at home to wonder if they are alright and if we are going to be fine. Ever since Mark left I haven’t been able to take my eyes off my daughter. Always shadowed her, especially when she played with Victor. I hated to think that my daughter could be a danger to my son and herself, the little girl didn’t deserve to be burdened as such if only I had been there to protect her and keep her safe as a good mother should. The teardrops came running along down my face. “Now, Chloe. That just wouldn’t do.”I froze dead in my tracks at the familiar yet unfamiliar voice that invaded the air around me.“Hello, Chloe. I see you standing there doing what you do best. Nothing.”Ronald was sitting in

MARKI could hear Mackenzie’s blissful chatter as she told little Victor stories of how she beat me in a race. All I could think of was going straight to Caldor and detaching Ronald’s head from his shoulders. I didn’t mind stepping over his body to get the Crane Lilies, the only plant known to succeed in reversing the effects of fangroot. “You can’t go alone, Mark. Let me come with you. At least let someone else come with you, Pascal, or anybody Goddamnit!”She yelled now. Causing me to pause in my actions and regard her calmly. My phone rang with urgency as I made to silence it. I looked at the screen and saw it was my uncle calling.Speak of the devil.“Now’s not a good time, uncle. I’m in the middle of something.” I said coldly to my uncle. “This can’t wait. And if you wanna save Mackenzie from the Fangroot that has invaded her body for a year, you’ll get yourself to the Dennison manor and we’ll go on a little drive together.” My uncle finished with

CHLOEIt was the weekend, and as promised, Mark and I decided to begin Mackenzie’s trails. She was to take the first step on the trail today with Mark and me around to guide her through. “I’m ready mummy. This is like when Aunt Sally gave me a tour of the woods at the other house. Uncle Mark raced me!”Mark laughed a laugh that only came out when he played with Mackenzie. A breathless laughter that always sounded unintentional, as though the child in him came out despite his best efforts. It never failed to warm my heart, seeing him be a father to her in a way Vincent never was. “Slow down little wolf.”Mark said, still laughing.“We’ll race alright, but first I have to tell you something. Something about our family and other families who live in Drewsy.”Mackenzie was jumping at this bit already. She’d always liked it when Mark called her his little wolf. But now she was eager to run and Mark wanted to talk. She was beside herself with excitement as sh
