2023-03-01 18:27:58"Roman's body disappeared".
The words kept echoing in Lucille's head as she tried to understand what had just been reported. How could Roman's body disappear? He was already dead and the Pentagon had been so busy with finding his wolf that they had delayed the cremation of his body.
"Lucille" Phiri called. "Are you there?"
"Yes. Yes, I'm here" the woman assured her even though her mind was all jumbled up at the moment. She didn't know what to do and she could only imagine how the other werewolves would react once they found out about this. They hadn't been informed about Roman's death.
"Don't tell this to anyone, Phiri" she said into the phone in all seriousness. "We're on our way back".
With that, she hung up the phone and quickly turned to face Calvin who had the most impatient look on his face. She knew she had to convince him to go back with her in anyway possible. If Roman's body had really gone missing then, it means someone other than the Pentagon knew that he was already dead and Calvin was not safe.
"You have to come with me" She said in a tone of urgency.
"Why would I?" Calvin asked with a raised eyebrow. He still had that headache so he was in no mood to deal with this pretty middle aged woman.
"Listen Calvin" Lucille lowered her voice. "Your life is in danger and we are the only ones who can help you".
"We?" Calvin asked in confusion. "Who are you?"
"My name is Lucille and I can explain the voice you've been hearing in your head".
It was at this point that Calvin remembered the voice and the events of the previous night. The last thing he remembered was running in the woods when he had fallen. He remembered the pain and he had heard that howl. He couldn't remember anything more. He wasn't sure how he even got home.
Now that he thought about it, he had woken up naked on his bed. Where had his clothes gone and why was his head aching so much? It certainly wasn't a hangover. He was sure because he had a high tolerance for alcohol and he didn't even remember taking any.
Calvin threw a suspicious look at the woman in front of him. She just claimed to have answers to all the questions he had about the voice that had been in his head for weeks. He was ready to get answers but he couldn't just go with her. She was a complete stranger. He wasn't the type to grant audience to people he didn't know but he had this gut feeling that this woman meant no harm.
"I can assure your safety" Lucille added as if she had just read his mind.
"Where are you taking me?" Calvin asked with a deep frown.
It took a while but Lucille was able to convince Calvin to come with her. The young man convinced himself that he was only going with her because he couldn't help being a gentleman.
Before getting into Lucille's tinted car, Calvin took a quick look at the plate number of the vehicle and then texted it to Tony. He didn't know where he was going so he needed to leave some information in case he needed to be tracked.
Calvin got into the backseat with Lucille and he shivered at the chilling aura of the man sitting in front. There were two men actually. The one in the driver's seat turned to give him a warm smile, but the other one didn't even spare him a glance. He was a big man clad in black.
"Can we leave now?" The big man spoke gruffly. Calvin didn't fail to note the irritation in his voice and how his nose flared in what seemed to be annoyance. He was beginning to wonder if going with these people was actually a good idea."Don't worry" Lucille said. "Rufus just has an unpleasant personality. You shouldn't worry about him".
Calvin heard the big man grunt as he glared at Lucille through the rear mirror. Lucille's assurance somehow calmed his nerves but he couldn't ignore Rufus' obvious disdain. Calvin was not one to be intimidated but this big man's dark eyes gleamed dangerously, leaving an impression.
As the car sped off, the voice in Calvin's head came again. For the first time, it was calm and it was asking him to trust these people. Calvin didn't trust the voice but he was able to relax. He believed that the sooner he got the answers he needed, the sooner he would be able to get rid of this voice in his head.
************
Tony decided to check up on Calvin that morning as soon as he got a strange text from him. In the text, Calvin had sent a plate number and asked Tony to take it to the police if he didn't hear from him before the end of the day.
With the way he disappeared from the festival the previous night, Tony knew something was wrong. He had tried calling him all night but Calvin didn't take any of his calls and with this text coming in hours after, Tony was convinced that something was amiss.He arrived at Calvin's house and was surprised to see someone at his doorstep, ringing the doorbell. Tony couldn't guess who it was as the person had a shawl wrapped around her body. Judging by the silhouette, he could tell that it was a woman.
"Excuse me" he called her attention and when the woman turned, he was surprised to see that it was Charlene Hayford.
Charlene turned immediately. She seemed startled but she was able to get her composure in two seconds. She gave the surprised Tony a small smile as soon as she recognized him. She had seen him with Calvin the previous night and she believed that they were friends.
"Hi" she said to the tongue-tied young man.
"Uh. H... Hi. I'm Tony" he managed to say. "I see you're looking for Calvin."
"Yes" she confessed. "I've been ringing the doorbell for a while now. I have to see him. It's urgent."
"I'm sorry but I think you just missed him" Tony informed her. "He's not home."
"Do you have any idea when he'd be back?"
"No, but he should be home before nightfall."
Charlene sighed before quickly opening her purse and taking out something. She handed it to Tony and he saw that it was her card.
"Please tell him to call him when he gets back" she said. "It's important".
Tony simply nodded as he looked the card over. The design was unique, he observed. Charlene smiled at him again before putting on her sunglasses. She wished him a good day before walking over to where she had parked her car. Tony simply watched her get into the car and he stood there till she drove off.
When the car was out of sight, he looked at the card in his hand to make sure he had not imagined what just happened. He chuckled as he wondered what Calvin had possibly said to Charlene the previous night that seemed to have caught her interest.
Calvin always took pride in his ability to get any woman but Charlene was not just any woman and Tony would have sworn that she was way out of his friend's league. But with what had just happened, Calvin was indeed what he called himself, The Casanova King.
"Well played, my friend" Tony chuckled as he slid the card into his pocket. "Well played."

Awesome! Calvin thought as he made his way into the building that served as the official headquarters of the Pentagon. It was a high rise building and the architectural design was marvelous. The building obviously served as an office complex and using the elevator, Lucille and the others took Calvin to the topmost floor. At the entrance of the room they entered, Calvin read the restricted area sign and he could only wonder who these people really were. From what he could see, they had a lot of money and he wondered if they were a secret organization that controlled the economy. While he was feeding his eyes on the conference room they had just entered, they stumbled on a beautiful young woman who had confusion plastered on her face. Calvin observed how she suddenly smiled at the sight of him. Being who he was, he smiled back, flashing his pearly whites. "What happened?" Rufus broke the silence in his usual gruff voice. "Before that, we need to make introductions" Lucille interru

"That voice you've been hearing in your head... That's the Alpha wolf." With Lucille's explanations, anyone would believe that Calvin got the answers to the questions that he had come with, but that was not the case. More questions plagued his mind and he was wondering how this development would now affect his life. "So, what is expected of me?" He really wanted to know. He had just found out what these people were and what it had to do with him. This was more complicated than he had imagined, but he wanted to understand everything. "The werewolf race is in danger of extinction" Lucille informed him. "We're being hunted by a group of werewolf eradicators who call themselves Zealots. These people wouldn't stop till the race of Lycanthropes are completely extinguished from the face of the Earth. Thing is, Roman had this master plan he had come up with to save our race but he died before he could share it with us." "So there are people who are aware of your existence?" Calvin asked

"Just as you instructed, I drove the dagger into his heart. Yes, he did manage to get away but there was is no way he could have survived that wound." Those words kept echoing in John Hayford's head as he stared at the dagger lying on the table in front of him. It was the very weapon that had been used to stab Roman and the wound had supposedly led to his death. If Roman was really dead, his wolf was supposed to die with him. And if it did, who was the young man that Adrian had seen? The man picked up the weapon and observed it. Roman's blood was still on it. John was going to use this to prove to all the werewolves that his men had killed the Grand Alpha, but after what Adrian had seen, the man had to put all his plans on hold. He needed to find out the deal with this Calvin. Only then would he understand why The Pentagon was keeping Roman's death a secret. While he sat, observing the blade, Charlie walked in. Her steps were light as she was moving in stealth. She was yet to noti

Before noon the next day, Calvin found himself at a park, leaning on a tree trunk , waiting for Charlene. The air was humid and though the sun was high up in the sky, the trees provided shade, covering the grounds. Though this was meant to be a relaxation spot for students of Hayford, many preferred not to patronize it for reasons best known to them. Rumors had it that a student had been mauled to death by strange beasts on the lawn while some claimed that the place simply gave off an eerie feel.Calvin could spot a few daring couples who had come to make out. It was the perfect spot for that. There was an abundance of trees and a river flowed through the park, keeping the place at a cool temperature.Staring at his wristwatch, Calvin could see that it was already noon. It was the time Charlene had agreed to see him in this very place. He had even come fifteen minutes earlier just to make sure that the rumors about the place weren't true. He had been waiting for a while and so far, h

Calvin ignored Lucille's question. Even he didn't know what he was doing here. Being the Alpha, his wolf couldn't ignore the distress howl of another werewolf and here he was. Since he couldn't help the situation, Calvin was now concerned about the numerous stares he was getting from the people. He didn't like being the center of attention in this place so he asked to see Lucille at a corner. "Is this some sort of werewolf community?" He asked her."This is my Pack" she responded. "I thought it was best for all of them to be on one place so that they could defend themselves in case of an attack.""I don't think that's working" Calvin pointed out."I can see that" Lucille said with a sigh. She was wearing a signature long coat and she tucked her hands into the pockets with a drawn countenance. For the first time, Calvin observed that she didn't have her usual confident look. "Are you alright?" He asked out of concern."No," she confessed. "That mother is mourning her only two child

At the appointed time, the members of Pentagon were already seated in the conference room, ready for the meeting the grand alpha scheduled for six o'clock. The room was brightly lit and sparsely furnished. There was a big screen, a huge table was at the middle having the shape of a Pentagon and five seats surround the edges, one for each member. Calvin came in less than a minute past six and he was glad that everyone was seated. Being the grand alpha, his elevated seat was at the edge. Standing by the entrance, Calvin took a cursory look at the four present. He observed how they sat so stiffly and he did not fail to notice their expensive attires. Even Rufus had a distinctive robe on. Calvin looked down at himself to compare his clothes with theirs. He was wearing a black denim jeans and a black jacket which he wore over a white shirt. Compared to everyone else, he was dressed unceremoniously. Even his black sneakers was the type that would make anyone look at them twice. They we

Standing by the window and observing the dark clouds, John Hayford could tell that it was going to be a full moon the following night. Werewolves were going to be shifting, howling and running through the night. It was what they usually did, the man thought with his face twisted in annoyance. John picked up a glass of wine that was sitting on a stool beside him. He slowly started moving the glass, observing it's content. He then inhaled for a second before taking a sip. He let the wine linger in his mouth as he savored the taste. A smile soon appeared on the man's face that made the wrinkles by the side of his eyes pretty obvious. He was satisfied with the taste of this wine.John Hayford was a tall, lean man with a receding hairline who always wore a monocle over his left eye. He had a sharp gaze and a brilliant face. He was a master minder who easily came up with excellent plans. With all the money he had, the man didn't have friends. He preferred to sit in his cold, dark office a

Calvin felt his wolf swelling with pride inside him but he personally wasn't feeling it. Things couldn't be so simple. If Adolphus so much coveted the position of Grand Alpha, it was possible others did too. There were surely other werewolves that were power hungry and wanted to take over the reigns of authority. He cast his gaze on each of the members of the Pentagon. Rufus didn't like being controlled by anyone. He was the type that would always want to be in charge. Then there was Lucille who always carried this air of authority about her. From what he had seen, these two loved to be in charge. "What are you going on about?" Calvin's wolf grumbled in his head. "The Pentagon is loyal. Stop giving yourself reasons not to trust them."Calvin smiled half-heartedly. It wasn't his fault that he had lost trust in people. In the past, he had seen how far people could go to attain absolute power and it never ended well.While Calvin was busy with his own thoughts, so was everyone else. Fo

Feral Desires Chapter 151: Bloody Night
The struggling sounds ceased when Ivy got to the entrance of the building. She touched her back to feel her injury, but it was not completely healed. She knew she had to be careful as the wound made her vulnerable. She could go into shock if she bled anymore so she threaded carefully.Inside the building, Ivy gasped when she saw Adolphus's head detached from his body. She didn't know how to feel about what she was seeing. Adolphus, leader of the zealots and the origin of everyone's problems was finally dead. She quickly turned her head when she heard heavy breathing coming from the opposite direction.

They were to invade the premises and put an end to the werewolf race if anything were to happen to her.

Calvin still didn't understand all the screaming and running that was going on around him. He also didn't realize that Diana had just saved his life and was even killed in the process.He had just taken his hand off Ivy's back because it felt wet and when he looked at it, he saw blood. He looked at Ivy and saw that she was unconscious. He shook her gently but he got no response.Calvin called out her name in a whisper, but she still move. He wished her eyelids would just move or even a low moan would have sufficed, but he got nothing.Ivy's unresponsiveness made Calvin panic. He knew that she was still alive but it wouldn't remain that way if she continued losing so much blood. And the fact that he didn't know what to do in order to save her made him feel useless."Help", he wanted to scream, but the words got stuck in his throat. He only breathe a sigh of relief when Lucille and Phiri came to him, both kneeling by his side."Please save her", he pleaded. He was literally begging but
Feral Desires Chapter 148: The Wizard's Name
Ivy wasn't sure who the target of Calvin wrath was. There was Roman, who was standing in front of him, acting like a live shield for the second possible target, Diana. The witch was definitely in Calvin's bad books. Irrespective of anything, Ivy didn't want either of the targets to get hurt. While she considered Diana to be the closest thing she had to a mother, there was also Roman who she had shared her first friendhip with. Though he obviously wasn't himself, she still didn't want anything to happen to him.Therefore, she tried to reach out to Calvin's mind again. She really wished that it would work this time, but it didn't. It felt like he had shut the doors to his mind and reasoning that even she couldn't get through."I think we have to evacuate", Ivy heard Lucille whisper. "Because we really don't know how dangerous one attack from him would be."Ivy looked around at all the people. Many of them had shifted into wolves as they could perceive the danger lurking with the formi
Feral Desires Chapter 147: The sorcerer he is
The moon hung high in the night sky, casting an eerie glow over the quiet city. From where he was, suspended up in the air, Calvin looked down to the werewolves. He saw them as ferocious beasts which the world no longer needed. But then, there was another side of him that was like a soothing voice whispering in his head. It made him feel like he was one of them. One of the werewolves.For hours, Calvin had battled to maintain his sanity, but he could feel himself slowly losing it. His wolf was trying to accommodate his retrieved powers, but it was too much. Since it proved impossible, the alpha wolf was fighting the sorcery and it just felt like an internal battle.Being a wizard, Calvin was a master of arcane arts and he had dedicated the early years of his life to mastering the powers of magic which he possessed. However, even as powerful as he was, he could not bring himself to connect his powers with his wolf side.Why he was up in the sky, Calvin didn't know. He was unaware of w
Feral Desires Chapter 146: "We have his mate"
Charlene's heart skipped a beat when she saw the Pentagon members. She was even more terrified when she locked eyes with Richard's brother, Mark. He obviously still bore a grudge against her for killing his brother and she instinctively drew back."Ivy" Lucille called, ignoring the presence of the Hayfords. "What happened? We've been waiting for you and Calvin.""He got his powers back. The tree died and he just lost control", Ivy explained. "He doesn't seem to recognize him and he was just roaming the forest all day."While Charlene was trying to make sense of what Ivy had just said, her brother snuck back into the premises to report the Pentagon's arrival to his father. "So that's what happened?" Rufus asked rhetorically as he looked up. "What could he be planning up there?""The question should be how do we get him down here?" Mark said as he looked away from Charlene and up into the sky. Phiri was quiet as she looked from Ivy to Charlene. The latter was supposed to be the succee

"There you are".Ivy slowly came out of hiding when Charlene called out to her. If she were to have it her way, she would have preferred to stay out of Charlene's way. With everything she had been through that day, she didn't have time for this drama.Ivy had been keeping an eye on Calvin ever since he regained his powers. Apparently, things had not turned out the way anybody would have expected. It all spiraled out of control and she was here make sure Calvin didn't hurt anybody.Just hours ago, when Calvin regained his powers, she had tried to talk to him but he had stared at her in a very strange way. She had searched his eyes, but there was no recognition of any sort. It appeared that he had been possessed by something. Everything about him felt different. His eyes, his gaze, his aura... It was all different but Ivy just couldn't describe it. All she knew was that something wasn't right with him.Calvin wasn't himself anymore but even at that, she had tried to get through to him
Feral Desires Chapter 144: "What is that?"
"I saw a vision this afternoon".Adrian turned to his sister with a curious gaze. They were still outside the Rex building and he wondered if she was sleep talking as she stared at her feet as she spoke. "Stop looking at me like that", she said and then sat up. "Well, I was checking to see if you were sleep talking", her brother responded. "I only did that when I was child", Charlene said with scoff. "I've outgrown that.""Okay. So how could you have had a vision when you havn't gotten any sleep?""I don't know", she answered with a shrug. "It just came to me. It wasn't a reality, so I just concluded that it was a vision.""Was it a good a one?" Adrian asked her. "The vision. What was it about?""In the vision, I saw..."Adrian turned to his sister when she remained silent for too long. She was staring up into dark sky, so he raised his head too, towards the big white moon. "I saw that", Charlene muttered. "What?" Adrian asked, turning to face her and then followed her line of si
Feral Desires Chapter 143: It's Over
The Pentagon members exchanged glances before turning their attention back to the phone screen. They had been following everything that was happening in front of the Rex building."Roman is making us look bad", Mark said. "He's lying to the people.""He's obviously not himself", Phiri said. "I think the witch has somehow manipulated him.""This is not good", Lucille added. "If they succeed in brainwashing everyone, then it's over.""Where is Calvin for heaven's sake?" Rufus growled. "It's been almost twenty four hours. We cannot do much on our own.""Patience", Phiri said with a sigh. "He'll come.""He'd better hurry up" Rufus said under his breath. *******Right outside the Rex building, Adolphus's children and his men stood on guard, mounting every corner of the place, fully prepared for every surprise.As expected, military vehicles soon arrived at the scene, demanding to know what was going on at such late hours. The zealots had their orders. They were to prevent any kind of int
