CHAPTER 246~3RD PERSON'S POV~“So, tell me, what did you find out?” Ruth asked as she walked into her living room with two glasses of orange juice. She placed one of the cups in front of Gregory, then sat on the couch opposite him.“You’re one of the few humans who already knew that werewolves existed before the war; you must know the Montgomery family,” Gregory said. “I’m familiar with the name. They're the family of the Darkfang pack, if I remember correctly. They own a business completely separate from ours and are one of our numerous competitors,” Ruth replied, placing the glass cup between her lips.“Well, business aside, Alpha Steven took over that pack. Their alpha gave his daughter to alpha Steven as a peace offering, and she went on to serve as one of the maids in the Mortimer mansion. Just before the war, the alpha of the Dark Fang Pack and his brother, alpha Garret, planned to kill alpha Steven and alpha Derren of the Dark Moon Pack, but were both outmatched, leading to t
CHAPTER 247~3RD PERSON’S POV~Steven walked through the park, his eyes darting from one shop to another and from one person to another. He focused his sense of hearing on the sounds that surrounded him so he could hear if someone randomly spoke about the base of the security personnel that were in charge of guarding the park. As he walked further into his half of the park, he started to notice something strange. He and Derren had been walking for hours; they had met and spoken to so many different people, but they hadn’t set their eyes on a single security officer. “Maybe they’re undercover. They’ll probably jump out of hiding if I cause enough disturbance,” Steven thought to himself, stopping. He turned left, then turned right, assessing everyone’s faces in an attempt to fish out someone who was acting oddly, someone who didn’t fit in. Different sounds poured into his ears all at once; he could hear sound from objects as large as the rollercoasters to objects as small as loose bo
CHAPTER 248~3RD PERSON’S POV~Anthony and Steven walked out of the café after a long talk. The sun was starting to come down, and Steven had to head back to the ark to meet Derren. “I wish we could chat more, but there’s something I have to take care of right now. The company making this drug is doing something very bad, and I need to stop them before they carry out whatever their plan is,” Steven said, staring at the bottle Anthony gave him. He turned to Anthony and said with a smile, “Don’t feel bad that your parents had to die the way they did; the longer you continue to blame yourself for their deaths, the more broken your mind will become. You can stop those images from coming into your head every time you want to sleep; you just have to forgive yourself.” Anthony stared at him for a moment, then turned away, his brows furrowing, “What do you know about killing someone? You’re just a pretend werewolf trying to get information from a kid,” he said.“You seriously still think t
CHAPTER 249~3RD PERSON’S POV~The sounds of sirens and the murmuring of people that had gathered at the scene of the explosion filled the air. Gregory sat at the back end of one of the ambulances that had arrived at the scene of the explosion. He stared quietly at the large flames as the firefighters struggled to put them out. The fire had spread to two neighboring houses, and several people had become victims of the tragic occurrence. Gregory let out a sigh, then turned to the ground. Derren’s car finally pulled over in front of the scene, and both he and Steven rushed out of the car.“Gregory,” Steven called as he ran toward the ambulance Gregory sat in. Gregory got on his feet as he saw Steven and Derren coming toward him. Both men stopped running, and Steven asked, “What happened here?”“It was an explosion. Someone must have planted a bomb in the building the night before. I was lucky to have left the building before the bomb went off. Ruth wasn’t so lucky,” Gregory replied, tu
CHAPTER 250~3RD PERSON’S POV~Joseph and Elizabeth got up from their couches to greet Steven and Derren. The soldier who accompanied them bowed to Elizabeth and left the room. Steven and Derren walked over to them, the sound of their shoes clashing against the marble floor echoing in the large room. They all sat back down, Derren sitting beside Elizabeth and Steven sitting beside Joseph, and after a moment of silence, the meeting began. “I believe this is the first time we’ve met, Professor Joseph,” Steven said.Joseph smiled, then replied, “Yes, it is. And I must say it is quite a pleasure to be sitting in front of the head of the council and an alpha among the werewolf species. If I had known you were the guest her majesty was talking about, I would have dressed more formally for this meeting.”“This is Alpha Derren; I’m sure you guys met before the war. He donated his energy to the military to use against the abyss demons,” Steven said, turning in Derren’s direction and turning
CHAPTER 251~3RD PERSON'S POV~Steven and Derren snuck through the tall grasses toward the tall fence that surrounded the black building. The fence was made of thick, dark gray copper wires that were tangled around each other to create a large mesh.During the night, this fence was super charged with electric current to prevent unwanted guests from breaking in, but for some reason, it wasn't on tonight, probably because of the arrival of the black car that had just driven in.Derren's car was hidden somewhere in the bushes, where none of the security would be able to spot it. They both wore black face masks, dark shades, and black clothing that would blend them very well into the night. They made sure not to activate their werewolf abilities so much as to alert the artificials that they were in the area. Derren and Steven watched quietly as the car came to a stop in front of the main building. The door at the driver's seat swung open slowly, and the door at the passenger's side opene
CHAPTER 252~3RD PERSON'S POV~Gregory arrived in a carriage early the next morning at the company's building. He wore a black hat, some reading glasses, and a fake moustache to hide his identity. His goal here was to pose as a reporter for a big TV station that wanted to create a show about the company, Higher Wellness Pharmaceuticals.Higher Wellness Pharmaceuticals was a fast-growing company that had already spread its delivery reach to various parts of the world. It became very popular over a few months after it was first opened and was soon named number one in the drug manufacturing market. They mostly specialized in the manufacture of anti-inflammatory drugs that they promised weren't addictive, and this was tested by various drug agencies around the world and found to be true. Their factory was written about so many times in didn't articles and spoken about on the news, and there was nothing illegal about this company. So, at this point, Gregory's mission almost seemed impossi
CHAPTER 1~GABRIELA'S POV~1I let out a soft groan as the sound of my alarm pierced through my ear.By the sound of the alarm, I knew my day was about to get really bumpy from the moment I opened my eyes.The rays from the early morning sun scattered through my room through my window, and just like that, another horrible day had begun.I slowly forced my eyes open. The dark sacs underneath each eyeball showed how frustrated I was with the life I was living.Even though I was a daughter to the alpha of the pack, I had to go through the pain of doing chores below a servant's level. I slowly got up from my bed and walked out of my room with a bucket, heading toward a well to get some water I would use to take my bath. As I walked through the pack, my eyes darted from side to side, watching every wolf who walked by in my attempts to avoid her.“Gabriela,” Her cold voice sounded behind me, and a shiver went through my spine. My eyes moved to the side. I let out a sigh, then turned around t
