“Did you say the Ignis fatuus can destroy as long as its the target?” Crusoe asked, sitting up and peering his eyes.Olive furrowed her brows. As long as it's the target? So did the dragon think it through to mark a particular target and destroy it no matter what it was?Wait...if that was the case...then—Lutz's voice cut into her thoughts.“Yes. It can. Anything can be destroyed with it. Cancer, organs, poisons... Especially those with no cure. Example, the Touch-me-not poison. Olive's future dragon is the only way,“ he revealed and the information was like a bomb was dropped in the mist of them all. In fact, Olive heard a loud thump in her ears like a bomb truly dropped. But that could just be her blood pressure.“Are you...real?” Shem stuttered.“As real as a two century old alchemist and historian can be,” Lutz replied.Olive's hands began to visibly shake and she found it hard to control the tremors. There was hope. There was freaking hope for them.Goodness! There was hope!Wayn
Alpha Knight stood at the end of the hallway, his hands on his pockets while he looked out the window there. Lutz and Koushi looked at each other with furrowed eyebrows, none of them moving away from the door they had stepped through from. Alpha Knight turned his head slightly just enough to look at them. He raised an eyebrow, his eyes piercing deep at them.“Are you going to keep standing there? Or should I make you come all the way too?” he asked.“How dare you hypnotize us?” Lutz asked, his nostrils flaring in anger. Alpha Knight made a sound that seemed like a chuckle and a scoff altogether.“Come here, Firewolf Guard,” he said under his breath with his power and the two men began walking until they each stood right behind him on both sides.“Even if you don't respect me as your leader's mate, husband and Alpha—you are in my territory. Respect that,” he said darkly and turned around to meet both men's gazes.“I want to know what I must concerning the journey.”He released his hol
Lutz smirked at Alpha Knight and again, Koushi elbowed him.“Why the heck is he looking at me like he put a thumbtack in my seat?” Wayne growled as Mufasa turned to get a mason jar.“Oh nothing, Big Bad Alpha, go on,” Lutz sneered.“I swear if this thing so much as stings me, I'll claw your throat open,” the Alpha threatened and Olive laughed.“I won't lie, Lutz needs a good clawing,” she said and exhaled.“So Mufasa, how are we going about this?” she asked and flexed her fingers. The gateway to her healing powers. Contact was very needed in that aspect, unlike her firewolf powers that could be wielded even from miles away.Mufasa brought the jar and gently opened it. The glow exuding out of it was beautiful and there was a bit of a fizzy sound emitted out, as if they twinkled.“Olive, dear. Placed your index finger in this and put as much power as you can in it. Not too much to drain you.”Olive nodded and dipped her index finger in it. She expected it to be warm, but surprisingly it
The visit to the facility was very quick. They only took a look at the dead prisoners and checked on the scientists analyzing the living ones. They confessed that something bizarre was intertwined with their DNA strands and it seemed they had acquired it through breathing. In other words, the air was polluted. Wayne and Olive had both glanced at each other instinctively at that. Lutz also raised a brow in suspicion but he didn't utter one word.At the end of it all, Alpha Knight ordered that the scientists begin to work on any technology that could block whatever it was in their system. Preferably, a tool that could stop people from inhaling whatever the possessing drug was. He also gave orders that the security of the pack's hidden facilities be intensified and warded against even stronger forces. The threat of the upcoming war was palpable. And there was no time to relax anymore.***One Month Later***The tension in the air was so bad even Mufasa got a fresh wave of anxiety while
The Firewolf kept emitting waves and bursts of heat and flame, but the ice wouldn't melt. This was very conflicting. Because Olive's fire was said to be the only thing that could thaw Wayne's ice. And yet, that same ice was freezing the Firewolf over, the fire doused into nothing but steam in its wake. The Firewolf was roaring with rage as the ice climbed all the way to her belly and was now making its way towards her neck. “The Firewolf can't lose her fire,” Lutz panicked. He began to regret he had given them the no-holds-barred potion. He did that because he wanted them to fight without thinking they were going to hurt each other. He hadn't thought about the possibility of her flame being snuffed out. “What would happen if he freezes her completely? It's only Olive that can thaw his ice, right? What if she's frozen up and can't help herself?” Dolly asked Mufasa. “I believe it will not get to that point,“ Mufasa answered. “It's almost getting to that point!“ Vanessa yelled out i
Olive's eyes slowly flapped open to see a sky so clear and bright, she thought she was on the other side of life. The last time she looked up, the sky had looked dangerously angry and looked lit up with hot coals. But this sky now was beautiful in its natural form. Birds sang afar off and she could see hawks hovering over her in the clear skies. Funny, hawks hovered in the sky that way when there was a fire somewhere below and the smoke was reaching up. Right?She breathed in and her chest hurt by that action. She tried to move her neck and her neck hurt too. She gulped and her throat hurt also. Why was she hurting all over?She gathered enough of her energy and pushed herself from the ground but couldn't sit upright. Something was pinning her to the ground. That thing was over her legs and her chest. Oh no! Was she shackled?‘Stop being dramatic. It's just me,’ Wayne's voice whispered into her mind like a caress. She blinked and looked over her body. His huge legs had her legs locke
“She's trying to kill me,” Wayne whispered to himself as he stared at the destruction, his eyes wide open. Afar off, Olive chuckled without looking back at him. She had crossed to the other side of the field, the supposed entrance. Right there, she shifted into her magnificent she-wolf, the grey beauty. ’Come on, let's move,’ she mind-linked him. Wayne exhaled and shifted into Fervour. He tore through the destroyed land and was soon running side by side with his mate. But they didn't race long. Jake had arrived with a new van. “Beautiful morning considering the shit you both caused last night, isn't it?” was his first greeting. He had on a not-so-friendly smile as he approached them with two white shopping bags. “What happened to your face?” Wayne asked through Fervour. Jake glared down on his Alpha wolf. “You should be thankful you're not noticing my blisters on a corpse. Go change let's go. The others are in far worse conditions.” Wayne gave an animal-like eye roll and sto
Alpha Knight wore his sunglasses and stepped down from the van as the chopper began to descend. He held out his arm to Olive as she too got down and approached him at his side of the van. She had already won her glasses from inside the van.“You okay!?” Wayne asked in a shout, against the noise of the chopper. Olive looked up at him and smiled. Her hair was whipping against her face and entering into her mouth. She hastily put her fingers to work by pulling and pushing them away.“I'm fine. You?!” she asked back. He nodded.“There's no way in hell I'm entering that thing!” Lutz shouted from the back. Olive rolled her eyes behind her sunglasses.“Oh please do not start with me! We entered a plane three months ago! Did we fall to the ground like you said?!” she nagged and turned around to glare at Lutz. Unfortunately, he couldn't see her eyes.“I apologize on his behalf, Flamera. He's...he's still very backward despite living in the modern world for a month,” Koushi apologized and bowed
