At the mansion, Nicole and Alphonse sat in a spacious room of luxurious setting. Plush couches and a king-sized bed added an elegant allure to the grand looking sophisticated space. Alphonse sat in a lengthy luxurious sofa while Nicole sat opposite him, a mahogany table with a glass top stood between the two of them. On the table, several files and papers scattered across as they both had their gazes fixated in them. Alphonse worked on the papers while Nicole made use of a laptop. After they had made up the decision to take control of all the werewolves in the city, Nicole whose level of influence was very wide and effective was able to convince the higher-ups. In other words, she was able to change their minds about werewolves and since her father was the previous city manager, the level of respect that they had for him was tremendous. When they learnt that even he was a werewolf from Nicole, they were quite convinced that not all werewolves were a threat to the societ
Kyley looked at Darren and the card in his hands with a small frown on her face; an expression that spoke of concern. She didn't understand Darren's thoughts regarding the card and was only following his lead around. All Kyley wanted was to find a place to stay in the city so he could finally say goodbye to Darren and set him free from his burden- her. However, Darren seemed to be perturbed as to that black card in his hands, it was as though it was the key for Kyley to finally have a place to stay in the city. Kylie had obviously been there when Darren was asking people around for answers regarding the card. Of course, he had lied about it belonging to her but Kyley didn't mind. She trusted Darren's decision.She'd heard one of the guys they'd asked say that, "... If a werewolf were to enter the city, they wouldn't be able to stay without being hunted down, less they have this card and were a member of the Nightclaw pack. In other words, you either become a member of the pack, or
Jason and his lackeys looked about, taking in the sight of tall buildings and flashy lights that glowed in resonance with the bronze sky at dusk all around.They had inally gotten to the city of Portico.Jason in his long leather jacket that reached to his knee, which made him seem like a professional hunter, looked around with a calm and unperturbed face.He didn't mind the weird stares he got from the people around at all.What mattered most to him was that he was finally a step closer to finding Alphonse, his target!" There's so many people around" Terry who was also in a leather sleeveless jacket worn over a T-shirt and tight fitting black jean, and long boots said in a mutter as he stared around. His cold blue eyes moved around frantically.Harrod just nodded his head, " The population of this city is quite... Dense" he said like some sort of scholar, while tucking his hands in his pocket. The small smile on his face was highlighted by his shirt, necktie and pants.Out of the th
In the guestroom at the top floor of the Yoldes' palm, Alphonse stood by the window with his hands held behind him as he stared outside. He was having a strategic meeting with the most elite members of his Nightclaw pack along with Nicole, trying to come up with the plan to trap Jason and defeat him.The news about Jason having arrived in the city had been spread about, despite the fact that the wild wolf that ran around the city wasn't Jason but Darren. However, the mistake had been a coincidental plot that, as Jason was indeed already in the city.Alphonse believed that Jason still thinks he was all alone, hiding, but that was far from the truth. However, even if he had the opportunity to surprise Darren by tricking Jason into thinking he was hiding somewhere and then lay an ambush on him,the real question remained how this was to be done?It had to be brought into Jason's notice that Alphonse was hiding somewhere first ... They didn't even know where the Alpha of the Moonblood p
"Hah!" Alphonse sighed exasperatedly. All gazes were on him but his was fixated in a distant spot, "I believe I owe you an apology first, Kyley. I ask that you forgive me and Sam. I hope you can, but if not, it's fine. I deserve it... And we're all damned anyway" Alphonse moved his gaze to Kyley as he said in a defeated tone. Kyley stared at Alphonse with confusion evident on her face. "What do you mean?" She asked with a frown. Kyley wasn't alone as Darren and Nicole frowned in the same manner.Although, Kyley knew Alphonse back at the Moonblood pack before, and was certainly not an on good terms with him. She wasn't on bad terms with him either as Alphonse was just a common face that she would often see around back then at the Moonblood pack. They never said anything to each other nor talked with each other about anything, and they wouldn't even greet each other back then. So Kylie was confused as to how he could have offended her. Alphonse used to be a member of the Moonblood p
Silence fell over the guestroom at Yoldes' palm. The atmosphere was tense as a heavy air hung around the room. Darren and Nicole just stared at Alphonse and Kyley, they could pretty much guess what Alphonse was going to say next. Although, they had no idea what this meant to either Alphonse and Kyley, it was still evident from the looks on their faces tgat it was quite a painful thing that they shared. They could only watch this in silence... " Sam is dead, Kyley" Alphonse announced in a low heavy tone that conveyed the pain he beared in his heart. As though a toll was struck, Kyley's expression constricted as she stared with a bewildered gaze at Darren, as if waiting for Alphonse to dismiss whatb he'd just said and admit it was a mistake. However, the solemn and grave expression on Alphonse's face only served to confirm the opposite. Kyley moved her gaze to a far distance, her eyes moistened and watered as the image of Sam's well-contoured face surfaced in her mind. Te
As they walked through the door, they arrived at a small corridor that led downwards. Alphonse walked ahead of Kyley, heading towards what Kyley deemed to be the path to "the shelter".Click! Click!The echos of their heels were the only sound that could be heard as they both walked in silence. Kyley stared at Alphonse's back with a complicated gaze, her heart screaming caution at her.Alphonse had his hands clasped behind him in front of Kyley, silence reigned for a long while as they continued along the corridor. Until, " I'm surprised you've managed to escape and haven't been found by Jason yet up until now. That person with you is really not ordinary is he?" Alphonse said without looking back. He pushed a conversation about Darren whom he had always had a strange feeling about ever since he walked in the guestroom- not in that context though. It's just that, despite how Darren had shifted, he didn't smell like nor gave the feeling of a werewolf. Alphonse felt threatened earlie
Just as Alphonse announced, Kyley was brought out of her wondering thoughts and Kyley raised her head and looked ahead with an anticipant expression. The next thing would determine her decision to either stay or leave the city. To her bereave, however, Kyley's face contorted in confusion when she laid sight on the scenery before her.After Alphonse had opened the door to the so-called "shelter", Kyley couldn't help but take still but cautious step forward to follow behind him into the crowded space with so many people scattered about in a disorganized manner.Kyley stood behind Alphonse looking at the people in the shelter. The surrounding of the place was a mess as they were lots and lots of werewolves in here, living in the space that seemed like a confined refugee camp underground. Kyley couldn't help but look at Alphonse with a questioning gaze. She was more surprised that there were those who were willing to live such a lifestyle. " Those people have all refused to join the Ni
Slam!Returning back into the cabin, Darren held Kyley in his arms, carrying her like a princess.The latter just clung unto him with her face buried in his chest, seemingly lost in thought.Tap! Tap! Tap!.He silently carried Kyley up the stairs, ignoring the living room that seemed disheveled as though a war had broken out there. He had a solemn expression worn on his face.Getting to the top of the stairs, Darren continued towards the room.Once he got in the room, Darren slowly walked towards the bed and gently laid Kyley down on it. The latter turned on the bed, facing her back to Darren. She wrappedher bloodied hands around herself as she curled in bed. Her gaze seemingly lost in a distant thought.Darren didn't say anything and just say by the bed, his back faced to Kyley as well. He stared at a distant spot in thought with a sour expression on his face.Silence loomed over in the dark room as emotions grew intense in the heavy quietness. " Kyley?" It wasn't until after a lo
" Are you okay?" Darren moved back from the embrace, quickly checking Kyley's body for injuries or wounds of any kind as he asked. What she did just now was very risky and he still feared that Jason might have hurt her someway. After all, Kyley was just an omega. She's weak.Kyley still staring in a lost daze at Jason's dead body moved her gaze to meet Darren. " I killed him..." she muttered in a low tone. Darren hearing this froze and looked at Kyley warmly. He reached a palm to cup her face. " You did the right thing Kyley. Besides, you saved me." Darren said to her in a tone full of gratitude. He reached to cup her face warmly.Feeling his warm touch, Kyley couldn't help but raise her gaze to look at him. Her pale blue iris reflected his well outlined face under the moonlight. Her eyes watered and she broke into tears as she jumped into his embrace.' My love...' Darren sighed pitifully in his heart and hugged Kyley tight.The latter cried hard in his embrace for the longest whi
Darren had ran through the woods in pursuit of the scent and tracks left by the person who had left the cellphone with instructions to trace them. It was as though he were playing hide and seek as he rushed about the woods, running in trail of all sorts of things like hair, piece of clothing and marks on the trees. With the piece of underwear in his hands, Darren could tell that it was a lady. " Follow the trails I left behind in the woods towards the Moonblood pack if you wish to find Kyley. Hurry!" Running around the wilderness towards south, Darren couldn't help but be reminded of the content of the message that he'd found on the screen of the cellphone that he'd found on the countertop. Considering this involved the Moonblood pack, Darren knew that he might very well be walking into a trap set up by Jason. However, he still persisted. If they had taken Kyley captive, he needed to find her and save her regardless. He didn't care about this being a trap set up for him. So l
' Trouble! Big trouble!' she thought to herself, panicking as she fell into thought as to how to get out of this mess. She could very well try to run away at the moment, but what about Kyley? " Why?" Jason stopped on his step forward and asked with a creased gaze. He spread a palm and shook his head dramatically as though he'd given Paige everything in the world only to for her to betray him. Paige couldn't help but shudder at Jason's words, her eyes darted about as she became horrified. If she doesn't do something soon, she would have to spend the rest of her days in that basement with Kyley as Jason's torture pigs. Nonetheless, she knew she had no way of fighting Jason. She could only try to stall for time at the moment. Paige looked around in search for something to protect herself with as she slowly took cautious steps back, hoping that there was enough distance to escape. " You're sick, Jason. You need help..." She shifted into her human form and said, shaking her head se
Just as Jason left, Terry and Igor who had only been attacking the weak members of the Nightclaw pack, massacring every one of them, instantly ran towards Alphonse who pushed himself off of the car and was looking to retreat while still alive.The only thing that had saved him just now was the fact that Kyley had escaped Jason's captive.And If it wasn't for Jason being obsessed with her, he would have been dead by now.Besides, he believed that Jason wanted him alive for some reason.Alphonse wondered just how Kyley ended up in Jason's captive when she had that lycan around to protect her. Did Jason defeat a lycan?Alphonse wasn't too sure, however, it didn't seem unlikely since he had been able to capture Kyley who was under the protection of that lycan. It only made sense to think that the lycan was defeated.If so, then what was he even thinking!?Now wasn't he tune to even ponder all of that. He was wounded and needed to retreat while he still can.However, just as Alphonse was
When he got to Yoldes' palm, Jake was surprised to find the usually filled local pub empty with only José standing by the bar. He had been here severally in the past few days after all, and it had never been like this. Hence, Jake couldn't help but furrow his brows in confusion at this, wondering just what the heck was going on. He quickened his step to approach the bar counter with the thought that perhaps, the werewolves of the Nightclaw pack were aware of the Hunters association's looming assault and had fled the city as a result of this. " Hah! I tried my best to stop him, Jake. But there wasn't anything I could do about it" Jake shook his thoughts off of what he was thinking for a second and frowned when he heard José sigh and say as he sat by the counter. Seeing Jake walk in, José grew tense, unsure of how to break the news to Jason. Not that Jake didn't understand José, nor did he not know that the old man was speaking about Erik. However, he still didn't understand ju
At nighttime, as the sky darkened with the sight of the full moon blocked by the dim heavy clouds, Jason stared at his pack members who moved about in preparation to attack Yoldes' palm in the city of Portico. His main target being Alphonse and his Nightclaw pack. Tonight, he had no reason to fear the hunters or whatnots, as he had the perfect plan in mind to lure Alphonse out. His gammas, Terry, Igor, and Harrod stood right behind him with stem expressions, all ready for the attack as well. Just then, Vroom! Vroom! Sounds of several vehicles were heard from all around as the whole place slowly lit up under the illumination of headlights. Before Jason could even frown, several bikes and cars rushed out of the woods and came into sight as they surrounded the entrance to the Moonblood pack residence near the woods. Jason looked at this with a slight scorn, wondering just what pack had the audacity to raid the Moonblood pack residence. However, he soon expressed surprise
It was close to noon when Darren finally arrived at the cabin. He wasn't wearing anything as he'd ran all the way through the wilderness in his lycan form to cover more grounds. When he got to the porch, he could sense a strange scent that didn't belong to Kyley and he instantly became alarmed. " Kyley..." He rushed in, not minding that the door was unlocked. " Kyley!" Darren called out loud for her just as he stepped into the cabin. However, he caught sight of how disheveled everywhere was just when he arrived at the living room, and he couldn't help but frown and run upstairs to look for Kyley. His heart shook frivolously, panic and fear subsumed his being as several thoughts crossed his mind. " Kyley?" He called as he checked the rooms and the bathroom but she was just nowhere to be found in the house. Darren's heart pounded and thrummed in his ears as he ran down the stairs to look for her in the kitchen. He couldn't sense her presence in there before but he still thoug
In the city of Portico, inside Yoldes palm. The Nightclaw pack members gathered in their full numbers, all of them armed with several weapons as they were prepared for the long awaited raid. They had axes, knives, metal bats and all other sorts of weapons. Their eyes gleamed with determination and conviction to fight. The slightly balding Alpha of the pack, Alphonse, stood at the crown of the stairs looking at Nicole whose hands were held in his tightly. The latter seemed gloomy and sad about what Alphonse was about to do. At least, she wanted to come along with him, however, Alphonse just wouldn't let her. " Don't worry, Nicole. We'll return victorious. Trust me," Alphonse asserted in a deep convincing voice, caressing the back of her hands as he looked into her eyes affectionately. Nicole raised her gaze to look at Alphonse and nodded severally, still not convinced but not trying to stop him from going any longer. She had already made several preparations with the higher-
