ChloeThe midnight sky took on a crimson hue as hostile forces closed in on me. Their expressions bore a malevolent laughter, and their eyes were filled with mockery. Their bodies emitted an eerie glow, exuding a sense of coldness and bloodlust. I tightly clenched my fists, bracing myself."Hey, what's a girl doing here?" one of them inquired, his eyes betraying his cruel nature."Hah? I thought he was just joking. So, there really is a girl... and an attractive one at that?" Another chuckled. "Could it be that she escaped?" he mused, approaching me. "Wait a second... I think I recognize her."An icy shiver ran down my spine as a realization struck me. "I attended the funeral of the deceased alpha of the Red Moon Pack and saw this face before...""—Hey. Aren't you the other daughter of that alpha? The sister of the current alpha, Vanessa?" he added, causing my heart to leap into my throat. I couldn't believe it. I hadn't done anything yet... and I was already caught."What? You're say
ChloeAs I cast my gaze around, a haunting sense of déjà vu engulfed me. The dimly lit cavernous space, its walls and ceilings barely discernible, emitted the distinct odor of corroded iron and stagnant water. The lingering scent of dried blood filled the air, accompanied by the chilling echoes of piercing screams.I have been here several times before – the underground prison. 'How ironic. I am back here in this frightening place to rescue the person who repeatedly sent me here in the first place,' I thought with a cold glint in my eyes.'Am I lucky? Since I am familiar with this place, I am able to find them right away?' I thought as I looked in front of me. Inside the deepest part of the underground prison was a big prison cell composed of silver rails and chains. Inside the big prison were the three persons I was most familiar with - Vanessa, Lisa, and Allan. 'They really put them together, huh?' I thought as I observed them more. Aside from a big wound on her arm, Lisa was rela
Chloe's POVAfter a few minutes, the four of us found ourselves in one of the secret locations within the pack house. The atmosphere was eerie, and the sound of my pounding heart was almost deafening. I was filled with nervousness and anxiety, particularly when I glanced at Allan, who was clearly in a bad state."Why don't you all head to the hidden cave by the canal of the western lake?" I suggested abruptly. "I'll meet you there, and then we can leave together," I added.Lisa and Vanessa looked surprised at my proposal. "Why should we go ahead? Where do you plan on going?" asked Lisa."Where else? I'm going to gather the other members. Fortunately, most of them are grouped together. However, they can't leave their hiding spot because they're afraid of being discovered," I explained."As members of the alpha's family, we know the secret routes inside the pack house, but it's not the same for them," I clarified."W-wait!" Vanessa interjected. I turned to look at her and noticed a compl
Chloe's POVI felt a jolt of electricity surge through me, and a heavy, eerie feeling settled in the air. It was as if pure darkness and evil had materialized, gradually advancing towards us with unwavering resolve. With every passing second, the gravity of our situation intensified. We were being pursued by powerful foes driven by an unquenchable thirst for violence, seeking to wreak havoc and annihilate everything in their path. The slightest brush of their menacing presence sent a wave of icy fear coursing down my back, leaving me on high alert, fully conscious of the imminent peril drawing nearer by the moment.Speaking in urgent hushed tones, I implored Vanessa, "Tell them to pick up the pace. The enemies are coming nearer... They are closing the gap between us." Vanessa, standing by my side, paled visibly, swiftly turning to address the other survivors. Her voice trembled as she cried out, "Hey... Quickly! Everyone, we must hurry! They're gaining on us!" Fear instantly washed o
The night sky stretched above like an abyss, engulfed in an inky darkness with the moon obscured behind a thick veil of clouds. A faint hue of crimson tinged the atmosphere, as if the very heavens were announcing the nature of this dreadful night—a night where untold volumes of blood would stain the earth.My sprint lasted a mere half-minute before I found myself ambushed from the shadows, enduring two swift slashes from an unseen adversary. Instinctively, my body sprang into action, evading the attacks with uncanny agility."One of them" gasped in astonishment upon catching sight of me, a white wolf standing before them. "Why is the legendary white wolf here?" he exclaimed, his surprise evident."And why does she bear the scent of those wretched Red Moon Pack bastards?" inquired the other with a wary glance in my direction."It cannot be. The alpha of that pack is that despicable Vanessa. It's inconceivable that someone who once kneeled and begged like her could be a white wolf," rem
Chloe's POVCold wind blew on my face as Caleb moved fast. Behind us, I could feel the numerous enemies running after us. Yet, Caleb was able to outrun them. ‘He’s moving fast…’ I thought as my body was still paralyzed from the impact of using Aurora’s powers. ‘Among everyone I know… it seems like only Blake and Teacher Astor move as fast as him…’‘Could it be that Caleb is also… the alpha of his pack?’ I weakly knitted my brows. ‘Is that the reason why he is doing his best, even risking his life, to find survivors of his pack?’ “D*mn it!” I heard him curse before he took a sharp turn to the left. “Hey… did you pass out? Where am I suppose to go?” I heard him say. I blinked once, my exhausted mind trying to understand what he said. A second later, I told him with a weak voice, “Turn left and then left…” “At the corner… there is a hidden passage…” I softly whispered to him. Right away, Caleb’s body moved and followed my direction. Taking the hidden routes, bit by bit we gained dist
Chloe’s POV"I would have died… if not for the little child taking the poison with him," I heard Aurora say and my body stilled, my heart and my mind freezing. The revelation struck me with an indescribable mix of emotions. A surge of love and loss mingled within me, their currents intertwining like an inseparable bond. I struggled to process the enormity of what she had just disclosed."I'm sorry, Chloe. I couldn't save the little one. I wished to the Moon Goddess… That I should have been the one to disappear," Aurora's voice was filled with pain.Suddenly, it felt as if lightning struck me. "Why..." I managed to utter, my voice filled with a cocktail of emotions. "Why would you wish it had been you instead?" I asked Aurora.Aurora's gaze met mine, a profound sadness flickering in her ruby-red eyes. "Chloe, my dear human, your little one's life was sacrificed. He bore the burden to save me from death…""I am your wolf. I have the obligation to protect and support you. But not only
Blake's POVThe night enveloped me in its chilly embrace, casting an eerie silence over the surroundings. Above, the sky displayed a haunting hue of red, as though symbolizing the spilled blood that tainted the world. I found myself seated at my office table, where an overwhelming sense of emptiness permeated my being since Chloe's departure. Deep inside, I felt lifeless, my body moving mechanically to fulfill its duties while my soul remained lost, and my heart hollow.The purpose that once fueled my existence, embodied by Chloe and our lost child, had vanished without a trace. I believed that nothing could stir me from this state of desolation, until Arthur burst into the room, his eyes filled with a hint of panic. In that moment, my unmoved heart began to race with an unexpected surge of emotions.Something had gone terribly wrong. With a sense of foreboding, I inquired, "What happened?""Blake... there's some bad news," Arthur hurriedly replied, his words hanging in the tense air.
ChloeWe stared at the sight in shock and a flash of realization came over us as the puncture on the fog wall rapidly closed up.“As you can see, we can only see the pathway for a few seconds then it will close again…” Alpha Nador calmly exclaimed. Then from his large bag, he revealed a thick rope, heavy and long. “We need to have one person, the most nimble among us to cross the thin pathway. Once he reaches the other side, he has to connect the rope so that all others will be guided. For I can only open the fog wall here on the stable ground. The pathway is so thin that it would crumble once we tried to exert our energies while stepping on it.” Alpha Nador then explained. Then he looked at us, asking with his eyes who among us would be the first to cross the path. “I’ll go…” Blake did not hesitate and immediately answered. “Good!” Alpha Nador said as he tied the rope on Blake’s waist and told him some instructions. Before he went, I held his hand and said in worry, “Be careful
ChloeThere has been a great change at the joint camp these days. After Blake’s last expedition in the Rain Valley, we welcomed the news of a newfound ally.Alpha Nador, the leader of the Rain Valley pack surrendered to Blake in an all-out duel and submitted themselves to his command.While it was not a smooth process of acquiring allies, we managed to pull through and integrate their members into our alliance after ensuring that they all agreed that we would put all hostilities behind us. Just like the Frost Fang pack, the alliance will only last until we have eradicated Alpha Kain’s forces. After that, we will release them to be independent.This condition made the other members of the Rain Valley pack finally put their doubts behind them and fully face our goals head-on.Another thing that made us shocked was the discovery of a hidden association of werewolf packs who were against Alpha Kain’s regime. Because Alpha Nador had recently joined, he also gave us the information about t
BlakeRumble!!!As the thunder and lightning covered the dark expanse of the Rain Valley, so were the attacks being released back and forth. With the explosive blows he had released for quite a long period of exchange, I could not help but admire his might. How could he last for so long maintaining the peak condition of his attacks while also receiving blows from me?“C’mmon… Aren’t you so arrogant to say that you would subdue me and show me what you are made of?” There was a trace of impatience on the Rain Valley Alpha’s tone. “If you are not going to move, then I’ll take that as you admitting your defeat!” With that he gathered all his power and charged once more with another attack.I stood there unmoving, my heart was still contemplating as to why there is a small part of me that was hesitant to take the life of this Alpha. It’s like something from far away… where my hands couldn’t reach, tells me that I have to spare the Rain Valley Pack!However, in the utterly muddy and rain
BlakeCaleb noticed the person a second too late, and so despite his preparation the angle where the opponent is coming from will surely deal a great amount of damage to him. My face darkened as I realized this, without thinking further I used Eron’s power to rush in the attacker’s position to impede his attack.Boom!!As I brandished my fist to meet the large body of the opponent and the impact caused a sudden gust of the wind throwing off everyone in the battlefield. “Alpha…” Caleb realized what had happened when the pain he was anticipating did not land on his body. He looked at me wide eyed as he did not expect me to intercept the attacker’s movement while coming from a distance. “Don’t mind me… rally the troops and handle the rest! I’ll take this one!” I instructed. Surprisingly and for the first time, I saw no trace of resistance and stiffness on Caleb’s face as he nodded and obeyed my command. Welcoming the new development, I was relieved to take this position as I know t
BlakeWith that everyone took their own places and readjusted. After that, I called for Idriss and Caleb to assemble them after an hour to check of their temperaments. Even as the temporary alpha of this team, I could feel the state of their being just by looking at their countenance. While it seemed like everything was according to Caleb and Idris’s plans by far, we cannot let our guards down and cause a fatal error to the mission. To my relief, all seemed to come back to their peak state when they regrouped after an hour. Going with it was the night finally ripening even as the rain continued to fall unceasingly. As the heavy droplets of water poured down endlessly on the valley the forest became pitch black and the ground became muddier the longer we traversed in it. There’s no other silence but the incessant rain and there’s no other obstacle but the cruel terrain. Even so all of us silently pressed forward having to come here with a mission at hand. Soon the first teams re
Blake The entire barracks went silent momentarily, but the sound of cheers came right after. To the members of the alliance, the presence of one leader will empower them as they go on a dangerous mission. Idris was calm but his eyes looked at me with appreciation. However, Caleb still had a frozen look on his face.As for me, his attitude isn't something I mind, unless provokes me by making a move on Chloe.As for his loyalty, I know that he wouldn't betray the alliance so I left it like that.Having announced my decision I left the briefing on Caleb and Idris, letting them know that while I said that I will join the expedition, it will not cause a change on the plans the two have already set."Tonight, we will set off to the target alliance that we have on our list…" It was Caleb who did the honors in introducing the target to everyone. "...Living on the far west from the Blood Hound Pack, the Rain Valley Pack is the last pack that we have to take on for the second phase of our
BlakeAs soon as I uttered those words, Chloe’s body froze momentarily in surprise. The next moment she gave a light hearted chuckle and sunk into my embrace. Her response was fully welcomed by every bit of my being. Like we are each other’s fountain of life, we stayed like that for a little while. I looked down and took a good look at my mate’s face once more. Caressing the side of her face, my heart felt the piercing pain of seeing how exhausted she was as she pushed herself in deciphering the poison.“I heard from your student and Arthur that you have not gone out since taking the poison from my sickbed? Why do you torture your body this much?” I uttered in helpless pain. But when I was expecting for her to give me a rather serious explanation, I was blown away when I saw my mate pout adorably as she replied back, “What goes the same to you, aint it?” My heart felt like it was going to drop. For I am not prepared to be attacked in such a way. Her eyes looked at me as she contin
Blake“There you go… All done!” Arthur clapped his hands as he took the casts and bandages in my body. After two days of recovering, my body is finally ready to move normally. Thanks to the combined efforts of Arthur and Chloe, developing a potion that could repair broken bones, I was able to come back in tip-top shape in less than a week even with the heavy injuries that I had. “What’s your plans today?” Arthur cast a curious look on me as he tidied up his things and prepared to go to Chloe’s laboratory.“I was thinking of visiting your lab to see Chloe... But looking at your countenance these days, it seems like everything isn’t going well?” I replied. “Sigh… it is as you said… I’ve even contacted Father to take a look at it because it seems like we were not even close to deciphering a layer of it…” Arthur brushed his head while lamenting over the matter of the poison. “It’s only been two days… don’t pressure yourself too much,” I replied. “I know man…. But we cannot afford tha
Chloe“Made by Uncle Gauss?” My entire body trembled when I heard his name and the words that Blake said. In my hands, the very poison used by my uncle to kill Dad. The very poison I was not able to successfully save my father from. And even after his death and after five years of relentlessly searching, there was still no clue as to what could counter this poison at all. This very poison was one of the two poisons I promised myself to defeat, the other being the one that infected me and Aurora. “Chloe… you good?” Arthur called out softly as the two of them noticed that I fell in a daze the moment I heard the information from Blake. “No, I’m fine… it’s just that, I did not expect that I would have to encounter this poison when I am still unable to find out how to counter it.” For the first time in the last five years, I openly told someone that I was unable to guarantee that I could deal with this poison in front of me. “Don’t worry, we’ll help you. Esha is also a good child you
