ChloeLyra… Kain… Uncle Gauss…Everyone who had a hand on our child’s death will definitely die!In front of our child’s tomb, a frigid wave of revenge brewed in my heart. With my mind darkening, I remembered each and every expression of these three people in my memories. Their eyes filled with contempt and treachery. Their eyes continued to look at me without remorse nor a tiny bit of guilt. “I will make sure… to avenge you… my child…” I vowed, digging my nails deep into the my palms If I could, I would immediately rush to the Blood Hound’s camp and kill all of them. I will bring their bodies to this very same place and let my child see who his murderers were.Just then, a warm palm covered the hand that had been digging hard as I heard a resolute voice beside me, “We will avenge you… son…just wait for mom and dad…” Blake held my hand tightly, his eyes hinting me to not inflict hurt on my body any more. And with his determined expression, he knelt in front of our child's resting
ChloeHearing Arlan’s adorable voice, the two of us paused and looked at each other. In the end we could no longer hold our laughter back as we let out soft chuckles while in each other’s embrace. “I’m awake! Wait for me in your parent’s place…” Blake did not forget to answer Arlan, afraid that the young child will have to knock so hard on the giant door.“Uhmmm… Owkayy!!!” Behind the door, I could already imagine his cute round face innocently staring at the door while he blinked his bright dark eyes. His tone was full of excitement and anticipation even as he obediently answered and retreated back to their house. “Isn’t their house quite far from here?” I asked, feeling a little bit worried for Arlan who is just barely four years old. “He’s tougher than you think… besides, the entire Silver Pack is his playground now…” The seductive look on Blake’s face was now completely gone as it was replaced with a loving gentle look.Seeing how affectionate he was towards Arlan, his nephew,
ChloeThere is not a single day that passed which was wasted in preparing and training for the battle with Alpha Kain and his troops. During the day, I spend the time rallying the troops in both the Red Moon and the Frost Fang pack to train together and become stronger. Needless to say, we were already outnumbered, if we do not find a way to compensate for our weakness and shortcomings, we will never have a chance to contend with Alpha Kain’s vast enemies. Moreover, Lyra knew exactly how most of the troops operated. Being one of Blake’s closest confidants, she had the access to a lot of information for both the Red Moon and the Silver Pack. That is why we were trying to create a new synergy that would make sure that we will not be easily read by the enemy. Simultaneously, I made sure to help Arthur, Esha and the rest of the poison makers in their research of poisons and concoctions that will aid in the fight. Potions being created to speed up recovery, induce illusion to the ene
BlakeSeveral nights of blending in the dark and taking the lives of the targets we had have passed. Our hands were already stained with blood. The blood of the people who had partaken the tyranny of Alpha Kain. As our side took down one target, all of us watched their movements. Trying to get ready for whatever retaliation the Blood Hound Pack would make in response. We held our breaths and braced ourselves, it was like a dance, unpredictable in each move. Like hungry wolves stalking our prey we continued to observe them carefully before making any moves. “We have already planted the evidence on the packs whom we target as traitors and the assassination team has already moved to complete the first batch of powers that has to be eliminated…” As we convened in the room, the Frost Fang Pack’s true beta reported the progress of the operations. “Surprisingly, there is no news yet from our side, it seems like Alpha Kain is not really bothered losing a few Alphas in his roster.” My aid
BlakeThe entire hall was engulfed in an atmosphere so tense that it seemed as if the very air had congealed. Every person present, without exception, found themselves sinking to their knees, their faces a tableau of shock and terror. A palpable tremor of fear coursed through some, causing them to quiver uncontrollably. In the middle of the hall, like a tempest about to unleash its fury, stood Kain. His countenance was a mask of seething rage, his eyes ablaze with a murderous intent that seemed to pierce the souls of all who met his gaze.I, too, assumed a facade of clumsiness, allowing my body to slump to the ground. With my head bowed low, I concealed my true emotions, lest anyone discern the hint of satisfaction that danced in my eyes. My covert thoughts whispered, 'We've endured a long wait to witness this very reaction from Kain... Now that it has finally materialized in front of me, I can't deny that it feels sweet,' all the while, my eyes gleaming icyly. 'You did very well,
BlakeWatching them from a distance, I stayed at my post obediently but my mind could not stop thinking that there was something wrong with their attitude towards us. “Could it be that Alpha Kain and the elders no longer trust us?” I asked myself. “Impossible, we have yet to exhibit anything suspicious at all… Moreover, the last time they gave us work in connection to the Red Moon Pack was that first plan that we made.”I furrowed my brows, wallowing in wonder. The discomfort churning inside me bothered me so much that even Eron became uneasy. Thinking about it for a little more, I started thinking that this may have all started when I saw Lyra as Kain’s wife last time. Could it be that Lyra and Kain felt something about my actions back then? Did they notice my rage and hostility? As I asked this question, my heart could not help but pound deeply. A wave of worry and uncertainty rushed over me, a feeling that I hated to experience the most when it came to war with my enemies. “I
Blake‘Not to tell the Alpha’s Queen? Isn’t that Lyra?’ I hid myself deeply as I pondered the meaning of Gauss’s words. What is it that they must not tell to her? In the end, I had no choice but to set that side for a moment as the air had already turned eerie and cold. The atmosphere around the dark and secluded hall turned even more sinister. I watched as the rest of the elders nodded in agreement and wordlessly watched Gauss maneuver a mechanism in the door. Vrrrrr…Being a bit too far from them, I was not able to see how Gauss opened the door but the slight tremors around the cave signaled that he successfully opened it. There revealed another room, far smaller than the laboratory rooms outside. In the dark light, using Eron’s power, I was able to somehow figure out the interior of the room which was filled with a lot of vials and glass canisters of different sizes. They were certainly filled with something, but I was already too far to figure out what it was. “This is the s
Blake I no longer wasted time behind but instead dashed forward as fast and far as I could. Regardless of the hindrance in front of me, may it be the rock formations or the heavy resistance from the wind, I did not care and just moved forward. For I know that behind me was someone actively pursuing to kill me at once. Once I had effectively gotten far from the premises of the hidden laboratory, I took advantage of the terrain I was so familiar with from spying on Blood Hound’s area for so long and managed to draw him near a place I could use to hide and confuse him.It was a downward cliff with a lot of trees and crevices I could blend myself with. Thankfully, Chloe and Arthur had already made me some potions to completely delete my scent which helped me become untraceable thus far. However, wherever I tried to flee or hide, I would sense that the pursuer would also go in the same direction that I was in. After some time, I finally figured out that the pursuer was not actually t
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
