Lucas approaches. The fallen tree branches creaked under his feet. The creak broke the silence as alpha Jones’ pack switched their attention to him.He lifted his hand and displayed the head of alpha Jones. “I’m your alpha now!” he roared in a mighty voice.He tossed alpha Jones's head to the number one Beta. “Anyone who disputes my alphaship should challenge me for a square.” He snarled flashing his newly acquired glowing red eyes.The reign of alpha Jones as the alpha of New Orleans werewolves has finally come to an end in the hands of a hybrid: half wizard, half werewolf. Lucas showed him no mercy. When he flew at his wolf rage, he engaged in his wizardry power to extinguish alpha Jones for good.This wasn’t the plan of the witches. They wanted to take away their wolf nature with the mystic orb. At least they won’t be looking over their shoulders trying to get away from the werewolves, especially on the full moon. Lucas has changed that. He’s one of them after all. Since he got to
Lucas dismisses the pack. The first Beta stayed back without leaving with the rest. His name is Pete. A young man in his early thirties. He has often opposed Jones's act of rule in his heart but he doesn’t have the balls to challenge him for a square or his position. Lucas was talking with Alicia and Jane when he walked up to him. He sought to speak with him. “Excuse me, ladies,” Lucas said. He excused himself and moved to a corner with Pete. “Permit me to speak freely, my alpha,” he said lowering his head slightly. “Of course,” Lucas replied. “Do you think we can win the vampires over in terms of keeping the peace?” There was concern in his voice. The only thing that led Zuka to Jones was he needed his muscle and that of his pack to get to the witches. Lucas emits a soft sigh. “I will offer them a deal,” Lucas said. “Alright, one more thing,” Pete raised his head and continued. “I have heard of these hunters
This isn’t the police. The police don’t open fire the way the shooter opened fire on Lucas. There are not trained that way. Lucas was still trying to make head or tail out of the current situation – a dominant footstep approached, “Make sure he didn’t come out alive!” “Copy that boss!” the first man answered. Lucas crawled toward Bonnie’s car and took cover. It was a black jeep. The gunshots never stop coming. He could sense another person joining the first shooter to shoot sporadically at him. There’s no leaving until he finds out who the hell these men are. He heard one of the shooters say to his colleague: “This city will burn if we don’t kill all these supernatural creatures and beings. Look at how they’ve killed Pablo like a wayward dog.” “We will torch this place down,” the first man replied. It’s now clear to him that these men belong to Five Fingers. The fading heartbeat he picked was becoming so faint that he c
AT THE CEMETERY The coffin is lowered into the ground. The priest stood by the grave said and said in a loud voice to the hearing of people gathered to pay their last respect, “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!” He traces the sign of the cross of the grave. He turned to gesture at Mrs. Myles and her daughters to come forward. When they approach, the priest’s server offered Mrs. Myles a shovel half filled with sand. She took the shovel from the server and pours it into the coffin of her late husband. The same was repeated by all her daughters. In Christianity, this act relates to the belief that man is made from earth and returns to earth. Many in New Orleans believed that this act symbolizes a way of taking care of one’s loved one even in the end. When the rites of burial were over, Lucas approached Alicia. He came along with Jane to offer his condolences once more. He hugged him close to himself. “I’m sorry for your loss,” he whispered. He gent
The driver stepped out and opened the door of the Limo. Lucas emits a sigh. He doesn’t know what to expect inside Zuka’s mansion. Whatever Zuka’s game will be, he better be ready to play hard. He glanced at Jane. “Let’s do this,” he said. They both climbed down staring around the old brick mansion. The streets were shrouded in darkness except for the brick mansion. Vampires enjoy being around the darkness. That’s how they prefer to roll and lurk. A few lamps hung from an iron pole. This was the only source of light that stood like an usher outside the gate. It was quite an old-style mansion. The driver led Lucas and Jane to the door. He rapped the iron knocker with the shape of a woman. Lucas and Jane patiently stood behind him. They were still staring around. The place was so strange to them. They didn’t have to wait too long as the door was soon answered by an old man with gray hair. His hands were bony and pale. Hi
Lucas turned to face Zuka. “You invited me to talk and now you want to put your men against us?” “I never liked you,” Zuka said. “Especially after what you did to Lydo. Every vampire here is eager to avenge her.” Jane draws her chair back and gets up to her feet. “Perhaps you will join her if you don’t call your vampires to stand down!” she spoke boldly. The vampires don’t look like they want to move. They were stalking their prey waiting for the right time to launch their attack. “Now listen to all I have to say,” Lucas motioned. “If you will accept my offer, I will make you immune to the sun.” “That’s impossible!” Zuka disputed. He stared at Lucas with hate in his eyes. “Do you know how many witches have tried and failed for centuries?” “The witches are not like me,” Lucas spoke with confidence. “Neither are there hybrids like me.” Lucas created a spell after learning spell creation from his mother’s spe
Lucas was still in the dark about the creature that just attacked him. He stared at his father with desperation. “We need to find it before it…” “There’s no we, son,” Captain White interrupted. “You should be on your way to school. I will find that son of a bitch and gun it down.” Lucas nods his head in total acceptance of what his father had just said but ignored his instructions and started walking out of his room. His father followed him to make sure he was going to catch a bus before he start chasing after the unknown creature. He can’t drive him to school at the moment because of the creature roaming the street. When he got outside their house, he saw Lucas already seated in his car gesturing at him to come. “You got to be kidding me!” he exclaimed. He walked down to where his car is and quickly opened the door. “What are you doing here?” “Dad, the more you wait, the farther this creature gets,” Lucas rolled his e
Captain White was suspended in the air by an unseen force. The unseen force had him on his throat and he gasped for air desperately. Lucas moved at an accelerated speed toward his father. He moved faster than the eyes could see. Whatever that is suspending his father in the air won’t let him be if he didn’t act. On reaching his father, he stretched his hand to take hold of his father’s hand. He was more than 19ft above the ground level. There’s no way Lucas could get to him. He propels himself into the air and allowed himself to be pulled into flight. It was too late for him to get to his faster – the invisible force was acting ahead of him. His father vanished into thin air. Lucas crashed and landed on a tombstone. His face became distorted with rage. He sprang back to his feet and began scanning around with his eyes desperately. “Show yourself and fight me!” he roared. A weird unseen force flings Lucas th
“All rise!” the registrar echoed to the hearing of the people. As the judge takes his seat. The registrar ordered the court to sit as he calls out the cases. “The City of New Orleans vs. Lucas White.” The judge requests the lawyer of the plaintiff to identify himself. The plaintiff opens his case first. He has witnesses ready to testify against the defendant. What congressman Styles keep telling the press was that Lucas came for retribution and have succeeded in killing his son. He told the press it was wrong for Lucas to take laws into his hands. He has vowed with the blood of his son that Lucas will never escape the wrath of the law for killing his defenseless son, Jack. The evidence presented by the plaintiff's lawyer points to Lucas being the killer. The jury has reached their verdict and now the judge is about to pass the judgment. Lucas was terrified of what his fate would be in the prison away from his family and friends.
CONGRESSMAN STYLES MANSION “Let him go!” Lucas yelled. Jack was suspended in the air. He pleads for his life but Ann showed no mercy. She glanced at Lucas with hate in her eyes. “You will never find my former mistress’ corpse.” Ann’s words stroke him. “So it was you?” “I had help,” Ann giggled. “Let him go and we can talk about this,” Lucas pleaded. “Whatever anger you have should be channeled to me. He has nothing to do with it.” “You are right,” Ann flashed a fake smile that can’t get to Lucas. “He has been a pain in your ass and now I want to help you delete him.” With a flick of her wrist, Ann released Jack and let him slump to the ground. Lucas moved at an accelerated speed to help Jack but Ann flings him away. She appeared behind Lucas and stabbed him with a similar dagger he stabbed Lucas with. “Die asshole,” she whispered into his ear. “No!” Lucas roared. It’s too late fo
SIX MONTHS LATER Lucas walks into the cemetery to spend time on Bonnie’s grave. Things seem to be back to normal in his city. He has achieved getting the vampires, the witches, the werewolves, Banshees, gypsies, and the hunters to agree on a truce. The supernatural community will now live in harmony with the humans without any party looking over their shoulders. As he draws closer, he caught a glimpse of sand by the grave. Something isn’t right. He quickly made his way toward the sand that was close to Bonnie’s tombstone only to realize that her grave has been dug.When his mother returned from the ancestors’ world with the rest of the witches, she came back with Bonnie’s corpse. After consecrating it, they buried her close to her mother.Lucas quickly jumps into the grave as he reaches for the coffin. He opened the coffin. To his greatest shock, the coffin is empty. “Impossible!” he cried out. Is this real? No, it can’t be real. ‘There’s no way she could be alive,’ he thought to
DOWNTOWN There’s been an attack in the bar close to the witches’ quarters. The people of New Orleans have been hearing of mysterious killings by a wild cat. Some say the witches are behind the killings. The witches assumed the wild cat bite happens to be a bite mark from vampires. They do not want to get into a fight with the vampires especially now Lucas is speaking of a truce. They quickly made their way out of the bar leaving the barman, John, and Scott alone.Customers at the bar are running helter-skelter. The customers were still in shock. They have never seen such an attack or someone who vanishes out of thin air or morphs into a cat. ‘This is sorcery!” they screamed running out from the bar.The cat hops and stood at the bar counter making a constant purring sound. In the bar was one of Zuka’s vampires who has gone to get a witch to help Zuka out of his deep slumber. When he heard screams coming from the bar, he diverted and started heading toward the bar.
“What are you doing?” Jane stared with a confused look. This isn’t saving. Pete’s actions got her puzzled. “A few tricks I learned from Jones,” Pete replied without looking up. His hand was still buried in Lucas’ chest. He isn’t pulling it out – instead, he held Lucas firmly in his arm. He glanced at Jane. There was a concerned look on her face. The look one gives when betrayed. “Relax,” he said. “I’m just trying to keep his heartbeat.” “By burring your claws into his chest?” Jane cast a wide-eyed gaze. At this moment, she doesn’t know whose side Pete is on. “I’m just massaging his heart,” Pete spoke up in his defense. He knew that look on Jane’s face. He focuses on his alpha and continued caressing his heart. It’s a way of reviving a werewolf if you noticed his heartbeat slowing down. By just massaging the heart, the heart will get back popping blood as it ought. Jones used this trick to revive
“Lucas, wake up!” a loud voice called out. The voice came growing louder and closer in Lucas’ ear. He quickly sat up and started gazing around. Nothing seems familiar. There was a slow-moving creek close by. It’s quite different from the bayou at Hilltop. As he was about to get to his feet, the voice came again, “You’re not supposed to be here.” He flicked around. He recognizes the voice. It was Bonnie speaking. There she is standing and staring down at him next to a tree. Lucas quickly sprang up to his feet and wanted to make a run for it. Bonnie disappeared and reappeared before him. “You’re not supposed to be here!” she yelled. “You don’t belong here.” “Please don’t hurt me!” Lucas cried out. He was terrified like a scared little child. “I will not hurt you but you need to leave—you don’t belong here!” she disappeared into thin air. Lucas stared around puzzled in fear. His legs shake rapidly. H
PRINCIPAL MYLES APARTMENT A full-fisted knock interrupted the quiet noon of Alicia. She’s still mourning her dad and has not resumed school. Principal Walter has assured her she could get all the class updates in their class group and has given her as much time as she needed to get over the death of her father. She was the only one at home. Her mother has resumed work and so is Rosita. Maureen on the other hand has been busy with her team trying to catch Ann. She told them how Ann killed Pablo and cut her ankle. There were pleased to hear that the same Lucas they wanted to gun down healed her. The rumor of Lucas seeking a truce has gone viral and the Five Fingers have agreed to be part of it. They see it as a good way for all creatures to live in harmony without hurting or hurting each other. It was a welcome idea. But for Ann, they have never stopped looking for her. Alicia answered the door. It was Jane. They were greeted with a warm hug.
The pale-looking man’s hand is mangled and his skin peels away like a banana. They are replaced with the large, hairy, and dangerous clawed hands of a beastly creature. “Not again!” Captain White cried out. He has witnessed the furious nature of werewolves in the woods but got his ass saved by his wife. Too bad Kora isn’t here to save him. She’s still kicking some asses in the ancestors’ world. Is either he fights or gets maimed. The pendant given to him by Eva to protect him from werewolves has lost its power since she died. When the ancestors killed her, they destroyed every spell she created, and all magical objects she made died with her. The pale-looking man’s eyes are now stripped of all humanity and replaced with the eyes of a hunter beast. His entire body starts molding itself into its new werewolf shape. His bones began to snap and pop through the skin and back into place. As the bones began to reposition, his skin moved
