ChloeAs soon as I said these words, the air around the area became intense. Caleb looked at Blake provokingly as he moved his arms and legs getting ready for the spar. On the other hand, Blake remained calm as he slowly stepped in the middle of the crowd. With the two getting ready the onlookers backed up to give the two some space. The hot blazing sun continued to emit its heat seemingly scorching the dust around as the earthy smell of the sparring area reached my nose. However, there seemed to be a cold wave of air being emitted by the two who were standing against each other. The pack members did not say a word and only watched with their eyes looking like they wanted Caleb to teach Blake a lesson. While annoyed that this was the attitude of my pack, I know that they really needed to see the extent of Blake’s power. In this world, it is still easier for one to show respect and regard when you are exceptionally stronger than the rest. As such, I did not intend to stop them in
BlakeStanding in the middle of the astounded crowd and the heated gaze from Caleb, I lifted my head to see Chloe’s radiant look. Looking at her standing so confident and authoritative among the people who once never regarded her, I felt proud and amazed at the same time. Seeing her overcoming all the challenges all these years made me sigh in regret that I was not there to watch her grow day by day. Even so, the fact that the outcome of this seemingly mundane fight was her home cooked meal made me feel excited. Five years of being without her, I have always longed to see her happy face when serving the food she proudly made.Just the thought of it made the annoyance I felt towards Caleb become buried behind my head as I looked at him before stepping out of the sparring area, “I had a good fight… You are a strong opponent.”I saw him grit his teeth in frustration but I couldn't care less. My eyes were drawn to Chloe once more as a faint smile flashed on my lips, “I shall claim the
Chloe“Is everyone ready??” Sensing several presence from a direction I faced my pack members and called their attention. “Tonight will be the first step of our revenge! I know all of us have been waiting for this time and you all did your best in training and cooperation…” Seeing the silent yet intense faces of my pack members, I looked at them and reminded, “We came prepared, however, we came with a mission. No matter what, we have to prioritize doing our goal and not jeopardize or expose our pack and our allies. We still have a long way to go in exacting our revenge.” “Yes, Alpha…” The pack members looked back and uttered in a low voice. I saw in their eyes the extreme desire to fight and bathe in blood; however, my reminder seemed to bring them back to reality and control themselves. Our goal for today is to destroy an enemy camp and pose them as a traitor. But in doing so, we will not kill in the slightest, we instead would carry out the prologue of a grand act that we all ag
Chloe“Tsk tsk! Look at them!” Arthur, who blended with us in the Red Moon Pack looked at the retreating backs of the elders as they frantically fled at sight. His eyes looked at them in disdain as he realized how cowardly these so-called elders looked. “Let’s continue the act until we are given the signal.” Looking around, there were still many things to do before wrapping up the show that we did. Arthur and Vanessa followed as instructed, not leaving all the core members of the Dark Wood Pack alive. As for the young ones and those who were did not take part of Alpha Kain’s scheme, both packs agreed to spare them and keep them for their future. Unlike Alpha Kain’s forces who totally wipe out all who resisted their reign, Blake and I have no plans to kill the innocent. “They’re gone…” Blake ‘charged’ at me with a dagger as he transmitted his message. “Good work, leave us here to wrap up. I know you still had to go back to the Blood Hound Pack to report.” I replied, seeing that
ChloeArthur quickly flashed toward Carrie and Arlan, full of longing and excitement. Without much thought he spread his arms wide open and enveloped Carrie and Arlan in his arms. He kissed Carrie affectionately as he caressed Arlan’s small lovely face. The scene was so heartwarming and beautiful. Seeing Arthur who had always been keeping a distance from Carrie back then show how he loves her made my heart feel relieved at the moment, especially when I saw Carrie’s face filled with bliss. From the bottom of my heart, I am glad that the two of them have been well, despite all the things that happened back then. I remained at the spot I was standing in, watching their tender reunion with a smile on my face. Until Carrie’s vision passed behind Arthur, our eyes met. “Chloe!” She exclaimed her eyes widened with excitement and relief. Almost automatically, Arthur carried the still sleepy Arlan in his arms as Carrie sped toward me. I smiled and replied, “I came to drop by at Arthur’s
Blake"Alpha Kain is ready to meet you now," an old man with chilling, ice-cold eyes whispered, sending shivers down my spine. I nodded curtly, my curiosity piqued, and followed him down a dimly lit corridor, only to be halted abruptly by the same old man. "Only you," he hissed with a harshness that cut through the air, casting a disdainful glance at my comrades. His disrespect for an alpha like me was palpable, but I concealed my indifference, feigning annoyance and offense. My knuckles whitened as I clenched my fists, reluctantly dismissing my men before reluctantly trailing the old man into the heart of Alpha Kain's fortress.Stepping through the imposing gates of the castle, a glint of anticipation sparked in my eyes. This was the very first time I had been granted access to the enigmatic Blood Hound Pack. Kain was notorious for his secrecy and mistrust; meetings were always held in foreign territories, never within the confines of his own pack. However, some urgency had compell
BlakeJust thinking about how he used his filthy mouth makes every bit of me burn in rage. Looking at his condescending eyes, every bit of my body screamed to unleash the power I had and kill him on the spot. Even Eron was agitated when he mentioned Chloe’s name with a mocking tone. With the two of us being so in sync with our rage towards Alpha Kain, the hostility had no way to be held back anymore. But just as I was about to let loose my raging anger, I saw a shadowy figure slowly approaching from behind the throne . My eyes became distracted as I could smell a familiar scent in that direction. Only then did I notice that behind the throne was a heavy black curtain which led to somewhere. I momentarily forgot what I was about to do when I saw that the person was slowly approaching the place Kain and I were in. “Oh… my wife is in the mood to come out.” Alpha Kain seemed to have noticed the other person’s presence even before I did. His face was filled with excitement and pleasur
Blake“Oohhh… I forgot that you are still around Sabre…” As I was deep in my thoughts, Alpha Kain woke me from it and let out an amused chuckle.“Pardon! Pardon! I could not resist when my WIFE was around… You know when they say strong wolves do have a strong sense of possessiveness over their own territory.. Isn’t it Alpha Sabre?” Alpha Kain let out an amused chuckle as he looked toward me as if waiting to see my reaction. “I don’t dare to interrupt, Alpha Kain… besides it is as you said.” I replied by forcing myself to speak in a neutral tone. My heart, my entire being is filled with disgust, rage and betrayal as I forced myself to keep standing submissively while visibly uncomfortable. I kept my head down avoiding to watch what they were doing, not because I wanted to show them respect but because I might not be able to suppress my anger over the entire situation.Alpha Kain saw through my discomfort yet he appeared to be even more pleased when he heard my reply. He let out a he
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
