Chloe's POVOur refuge, concealed within the verdant expanse of Dalrion's lush forest in the northern suburb, became our sanctuary for the next five years. As we grappled with the remnants of our once-thriving Red Moon Pack, our paramount objective was clear – to avenge our fallen kin and reclaim our lost territory.Since my father, the former alpha, passed away, we, the remaining members of the pack, came together, resolute and unwavering in our determination to achieve our common purpose. With the forest's dense canopy offering us the protection we needed, we tirelessly trained and persevered in our mission to rebuild our shattered pack.Drawing upon our expertise in poison-making, we skillfully concocted a myriad of medications and potent poisons. These elixirs not only enhanced our speed and strength but also fortified our resolve to emerge victorious. Throughout the grueling struggles and sacrifices we endured, we transformed ourselves, growing stronger with every trial and tribu
Blake 's POV"Kain is absolutely furious," Arthur reported with a malicious grin stretching across his face."Our spy conveyed that the assassination was executed swiftly and with utmost stealth. The wretched Blood Hound bastards remained oblivious to the attack until the next morning," he added."The assassins cunningly left behind no trace except for the dagger lodged in that despicable man's heart. As a result, every pack that had sworn allegiance to the accursed Kain is now frantically denying any involvement. The situation is delightfully chaotic," Arthur explained, his eyes betraying a cold and calculating demeanor.In a dimly lit room, the atmosphere was tense, charged with both anticipation and concern. Arthur's malicious grin dominated his face as he recounted the swift and stealthy assassination, relishing the chaos it had caused. His cold and calculating eyes betrayed the satisfaction he derived from the disaster that befell our enemy.Carrie, seated before Arthur, frowned
Blake's POVA strange emotion in my heart appeared the moment I entered the town. The town was small, unpopulated, and an impoverished place nestled in the middle of the lush forest that stretched as far as the eyes could see, making the quietness almost palpable. The main street, which seemed more like a dusty path, was lined with dilapidated buildings.I walked for a couple of minutes and barely saw the humans. Although I could feel their presence, most of them were hiding, obviously cautious and keeping their distance from an outsider like me. Everywhere I went, I felt eyes directed towards me, guarding and watching my every move. Just one look at the place and I knew why a secret group decided to hide in this place. This group was well aware that the residents would notice their arrival. But due to their weary and close nature, it would take a long time before words about their existence would come to the outsiders’ ears. I pulled my hat down and continued aimlessly walking. Tha
Chloe's POV"There were three of them. They were being stealthy and tried to mingle with the locals. Actually, they were pretty skilled. If not for our barriers, we wouldn't notice them." Allan gave his report before sending me a glance. We were in my office, at the cabin where I live in the middle of the woods. Right after discovering the presence of the three werewolves in the town, I immediately sent Allan to investigate. "But before I could arrive at the town, for some reason, the three of them suddenly turned around and left…" Allan uttered his concern, a thread of worry woven into his voice."This place is pretty hidden… We have never been discovered before. Alpha, could it be that we were followed when we were returning from the previous assassination?" He was trying to look calm, but he could not see the concern and anxiety in his eyes.I met Allan's straightforward gaze. All of us have changed, and that includes Allan. He has always been an excellent head sentinel in the p
ChloeThe morning came and the dense forest protecting the new Blood Moon Pack was moist and dewy. Esha and I walked through the trail in a relaxed manner, our feet getting heavier with the dense mud that is accumulating because of the heavy downpour that happened a few days ago. After placating Esha for sometime, I ordered her to prepare immediately for our quick trip to the human town ahead. We donned inconspicuous clothing as we masked ourselves with the usual persona we took whenever we went to the town as healers. The town was remote and secluded. It was far from the tales I heard from my childhood about human towns where advanced technology and infrastructure dictated their way of life. Instead, these people lived in simplicity and seclusion, as if trying to shut themselves off from the rest of the earth.When we came here the first time, their eyes were filled with worry more than anything else. I have a vague understanding of humans from what I usually overheard from my fa
Blake‘s POVAfter coaxing, the boy finally relented and decided to give me more information.As the teenage boy warily stood in front of me in a small alley of the desolate town, I listened to his explanations trying to find a trace of Chloe in his words. “That mysterious doctor, can you describe her to me?” I looked at him as I pulled out a piece of pencil and paper. He described the mysterious doctor’s features and I tried to draw her countenance according to his words. However, after asking him again and again, the image that was made was someone whom I do not even recognize. A wave of disappointment came upon me as I felt that the doctor whom the boy was pertaining to was not even Chloe at all… However, the aura I was feeling was becoming slightly stronger the more I stayed here in town. ‘Is it a dead end?’ I questioned myself as I looked at the pitiful boy in front of me. Seeing my gaze, the boy continued giving me information, “T-the doctor comes down to town every now and
Blake's POVMy body acted on its own as it turned to the direction of where the presence came from. The scent was so familiar that it made my chest tightened in anticipation.With anticipation Chloe’s image played in my mind a dozen times. It was never until this moment that I realized how much I wanted to see her face. Wanting to touch her, feel her, beg on my knees and ask for her forgiveness… The years that passed were not able to bury all these desires of mine away. Yet, a wave of cold air doused my fantasies the moment I saw who the person was. “What brings you here?” Wary voice of a young woman who was not even of age, dressed in simple clothes that exudes charity and selflessness… and a pair of pale brown eyes that were filled with coldness and suspicion…There was no way that the person in front of me was Chloe.“Identify yourself!” She asked once more.A wave of disappointment came and woke me up in my senses. ‘Ah… how could I even think that it was easy to see her after
Blake's POVSeeing that she was not keen to say anything about herself yet, I did not say any word and just patiently waited while diminishing my presence. I know that it was not easy to fish out information, especially to someone as wary as her.“No wonder the townspeople thought that your mother’s disease is contagious…” The young doctor frowned as she slowly pulled out the sleeve of the patient’s clothes. Red painful blisters were all over her body, some were filled with pus and already close to rotting. “P-Please! Help my mother… doctor!” Larry’s eyes reddened in panic as he heard the doctor’s words. “En… First, I will give her something to address the source of the illness… Her fever was caused by the severe infection in her skin… but rest assured it is not contagious and now that we are here, it would no longer be fatal for her.” The young doctor just gave a serious nod as she continued to evaluate the patient’s condition. “Let me use your kitchen, I will have several potions
