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
Kyley couldn't help but look from side to side in search for answers to Alphonse's words. She had never thought about this. Even now that Alphonse had pointed things out to her, Kyley still couldn't come up with an answer. It was quite a baffling matter. Kyley had thought that perhaps, it was because she was in the depth of the woods and that it was why Jason hadn't found him. But Kyley knew Jason very well. Jason being who he is, wouldn't care about whatever parts of the woods she was in. So long as she was still within the wilderness, Jason would come after her and wouldn't stop until he found her. Jason would relentlessly chase her down and wouldn't stop until he dragged her back to the Moonblood pack. And it was really quite the question to be asked, regarding why he hadn't done so yet. Kyley couldn't help but wonder if it really was because he couldn't find him or if it was related to Darren?Remembering the Man-beast form that he had shifted into earlier, Kyley couldn't hel
As night slowly descended on the city, Hunter Logan's plain apartment was wrought in darkness, and the small dim lighting made the trophies hung on the wall have an awry shade that would leave anyone who came into the room for the first time scared, and doubt the sanity of the one who owned the place.Despite all of this, Jake sat on the edge of the bed with his head lowered and his hands clasped on his head in front of the placid-looking hunter who just stared at a distant spot, holding a glass of water in his hands as he slowly sipped on it.They both seemed to be in deep thought about the things going on the city.What Jake had found out just earlier when he had went to meet with the two cops, Court and Jamie, still ate at him.He still couldn't believe the things going on in the city as it seemed like a strange dream, how strange the plot was...If it weren't for the fact that he had seen it for.himself how those scumbag rogues and feral werewolves were known to cause malice all
Arriving at an alley that was right behind the Yoldes' palm, Jason and his lackeys hid in a small dark spot in a corner.They looked at the small light that illuminated a small door in the back of the two-storey building where they had been directed. Seeing the drunk guys and ladies all around, clinging to the wall and doing all sorts of things that could only be done under the veil of the darkness, in cars and corners of the alley walls, Jason and his gammas became certain that they were in the right place." There's the place, leader" Terry informed, stating the obvious quite. Jason didn't say anything as his usual stern and serious gaze remained the same. He stared intently at the back door, feeling the urge to bust into the place and drag Alphonse out on his face and step it under his feet.However, he could only clench his teeth to suppress his tendencies, as this wasn't the place to do such a thing. Jason recognized risk when he saw one, and staring ahead at the werewolves all
Walking straight into the alley behind Yoldes' palm, hunger Logan walked past several others who hung around the place. He left towards the more desolate depth of the alley towards the other end, where the road which he'd just drove past was. It was around there that Jake had seen those two foreign werewolves.Being human, hunter Logan could barely see the silhouette of two figures standing there. One of stood straight with his back slightly resting on the well while the other stood totally apart from the wall, his hands were held apart beside him, as though holding a lethal weapon. Hunter Logan could tell that they both glared at him and had grown wary of him as he approached where they stood. The cold golden glint in their eyes amidst the darkness gave them away. However, the hunter didn't stop on his walk forward as he just went ahead towards them.In his mind, Hunter Logan thoughts raced as to what to do, as he acted as though he were making a call with someone on the phone.
Of course, Darren would think this way as Kyley's expression made it seem as though she was having a hard time. Darren's expression softened as he neared Kyley.' How could I have forgotten that we would have to say goodbyes?' Darren thought that it was inevitable.It had been a few moments being with each other but it had to end at some point.This was quite something that Darren had always expected will happen and now that it came down to it, he couldn't help but find himself feeling complicated.Standing before Kyley who glanced at him and quickly hid her gaze away, Darren realized it was quite hard to say goodbye for him as well. Darren didn't know how nor what to say!He found himself without words to say!' However something needs to be said' Darren thought. They couldn't just part ways with one another without saying anything to each other right?Alphonse who had returned to Nicole's side looked from Kyley to Darren. Nicole was the same as she watched the two with a deadpan ex
Darren was surprised at Kyley's act but didn't push her back. The latter hugged hin tight as though afraid he would disappear if she didn't.Darren was at first left stupefied as his mind went blank. He had no idea what brought about Kyley hugging him, and Darren for some reason, felt hisnheart starting to quake. However, he soon recollected himself. He didn't mind and just allowed Kyley to hug him tight. If anything, he was glad that Kyley was fine. He knew she had hugged him just now because she was glad that he had chosen to take her back.Darren just put his hands around her slightly slender back and held her warmly in his embrace with a wry smile plastered on his face. They both reveled in each other's warm embrace. Each feeling a sense of completion in the other's arms.It was a magical moment, as every other thing around didn't seem to matter at the moment.Alphonse and Nicole just stared at this with raised brows and an amused expression. The Luna rolled her eyes however, s
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-
