~ Sortitus ~
I, Sortitus Breackorn, Alpha King of the Black Wolf Clan, accept you Here ---- " My oath could not be continued when the adjacent buildings suddenly collapsed and the chairs, tables, and decorations were scattered. The large glass windows were broken when an orange wolf flew out after being thrown by a black wolf.
The long wait is over. Today, I will marry the woman I love, Heres, my childhood best friend, who, despite not being my fated mate, we ended up falling in love with.
Our wedding was held in the very realm of the Radisworn pack, the red race of wolves from which Heres hails. Many werewolves attended our fancy wedding; all the red and black wolf packs were here with my family as well as all my right hands, even the king and queen, the royal clans, the parents of Heres, and other prime ministers and members.
But I did not expect unknown enemies to destroy my long-awaited wedding.
"Jesus," said the priest, followed by his sign of the cross, before being swept away and consumed by a large and very ferocious gray wolf.
My heart was racing so fiercely that I couldn't barely breathe. I gazed at Heres in front of me. Her appearance quickly changed; her hands became hairy, and her eyes went purple. Her yellowish, sharp claws and fangs came out.
"Get out of here! Save yourself!" she yelled at me, full of dread.
She immediately moves to join the battle.
Out of nowhere, I've been a little of myself. I clenched my fist as I looked around. I don't have the strength to protect my clan.
When I saw a black wolf in the air going after Hares, I moved quickly, pushed my lover on my back, and grabbed the wolf's fangs.
"Shit!" I cursed extortionately.
The black wolf nipped my arm as he fought back. My arm is bleeding, and its fangs have sunk into my bones.
"The fuck! Stay away from him!" She threw the wolf away from me with all her strength. The wolf hit a power line and eventually died.
"The cubs!" I released Heres' tight grip on my hand and hastily ran towards the little cubs, who were now being attacked by a group of wolves.
"Go away and hide!" The little black wolf nodded and rushed away to hide.
I bravely faced the five wolves. A brown wolf rushed first, and I managed to escape before he could catch me. But he doesn't lose quickly, and he pinned me with his sharp fangs. He shook me in his big mouth, and when he got tired of what he did to me, he threw me on the crystal cement full of broken pieces of glassware.
I stood up, full of side-to-side puncture wounds from glass and bottles piercing my body. I howled like a dog because of the extreme pain and anger I was in, while I was not even aware of my injured palm due to the broken bottles I was holding.
Without fear, I jumped very high and kicked the brown wolf right in his shaggy dog's face, after which I buried the broken glass in his eye, which disturbed and blinded him. So I didn't have any trouble taking his life. I climbed on his back and twisted his neck to lead him to his death.
"Next time, find out which alpha you're going to argue with," I whispered before throwing him to the floor, and he was completely out of breath.
I spit and wiped away the blood of the wolf that stuck to my lips. I can't drink their blood because I don't know what kind of wolf they are; they are not from a black or red pack. They might be from the "White Tribe."
The white pack is our most mortal enemy and is hated by red and black wolves.
I was going to take a step back when I was hit and pushed through a high window by a white wolf, and I fell to the ground with her.
I blew into a large tree, and she flung me again after biting my right thigh. After I fell on the grass, her companion, a black wolf, rushed forward and attacked me.
A hooded black appeared in the midst of the conflict. The two wolves who intended to kill me suddenly calmed down when they arrived. When the black man conveyed a motion to the fearsome wolves, they quickly left.
It's hard for me to breathe and even my eyelids are swollen and bloody. I was now face down on the grass when the man in black came slowly in front of me.
"W-Who are you?" I asked in a low voice.
He extended his hand to me for helping me and I was thankful for it, so I accepted it.
BOOM!
I believe he was an ally, but he was also one of them. He just threw me like the other wolves did, and I hit into the table, full of drinks and food.
"Stood up!" he shouted, turning his back.
"Who the hell are you all?! Why are you messing up my wedding?!" I asked furiously. I simply hid behind my back the silver knife I picked up from the table I fell on and slowly and calmly walked closer to the man in black.
As I got closer to him, my breathing became faster and my fright and trembling intensified.
"Aurrgh!"
I was just shocked when he immediately caught me and quickly removed the knife from me. He mercilessly broke my arm and threw me backwards so hard that he sent me flying so high that my bones cracked when I fell. He grabbed my collar and lifted me until my feet couldn't touch the ground.
"Do you think you can fool me, Alpha Sortitus?" He shook his head and his tongue clicked. He showed his blackened and yellow rotten teeth as he grinned at me. "Indeed! You are indeed very weak! How can you now lead your subordinates if you yourself will be the first to die!?" he looked at the wolves under my control even at Heres, who was being killed by his companions. "Where the alpha father is, his cubs are there too... So look, your kind is being depleted because of your debility!"
Disgust and revenge are the only things on my mind. I put it through a series of cheap and hurtful words that came out of my mouth, but he was not immune to mere words.
He bit his hoof and then swallowed the dirt he collected. 'Disgusting!' "The one who gave me the information that you are a full human was not mistaken," he paused, "You're twenty-five years old, but you're not changing your skin until now?" his constant insulting. "I-I don't think you even have the ability of a wolf, You are ... wolfless!"
"Wolfless???"
I tried again to break free from his strangulation but he tightened it even more every time I fought against what he was saying against me. My veins were out and it mirrored the sufferings on my heavy face. "What you're talking about is unusually skipped!?" I spat in his face. "W-Which traitor demon from my clan is your accomplice? Are you a white wolf!?"
I kept asking questions in my accented voice as I grabbed the sleeve of his black dress even though I couldn't punch it due to his tight stranglehold on me. He didn't say anything or answer any of the questions I asked him, instead he just continued to annoy me and trample on my dignity and belittle my ability to lead my tribe.
He burst out with a scary laugh and his palms were even heavier on my neck as he grasped me. My veins almost burst from his strangulation, which made it more difficult for air to flow through my body, and my feet were up to his head. He was a very tall and large person compared to normal werewolves and me. My eyes were closed and I could hear my heart beating slowly.
"Poor Breackorn pack clan! They're so unlucky because their alpha is so weak.... How come! One man rules the wolves!?" He laughs and makes unpleasant noises about the back of his neck. He clucked his tongue and smiled proudly at me.
"Fuck you!" I cursed him unendingly. "P-Pitiful? W-Which one of us w-was the pathetic one who rushed h-here even though he knew the alpha was only human?" I foolishly teased him, grinning and resisting the middle of death. "L-Let's just say you're a fantastic leader who tortures and likes to brutally and unjustly kill a naked alpha like me who can't change wolf skin yet! You won't fight a fair black man!"
He got more and more offended at my responses to him, so he punched me hard and insulted me. "Your black race is known for its fighting prowess and commanding weapons in the time of war... when everything was intact and in order." He pursed his lips and looked away from me.
"Tell me, w-what do you mean?!" I rasped and stammered to him.
"Hmmm. You're already weak, then you're brainless too!? Listen, Alpha! The wolves separated, and the former organization that had been broken will never be formed again!" His evil gladness exploded while he didn't notice when his hood accidentally fell on his head. I saw his big scar on the right side, near his right eye.
"Y-You're a -- " he cut off my speaking when he suddenly sucked all the energy into my mouth. I slowly weakened. I used my remaining strength to fight and remove his hand from my neck and push it away, but it was too strong compared to me.
"Let him go!" a woman's hostile warning to the black man.
I flew when the stranger woman grabbed and pushed the man in black with all her might. They both hit and crashed into the spiked barrier made of jade.
We parted ways and I caught a glimpse of an unusual woman with purple eyes similar to Heres but they were very different.
I couldn't understand myself; it was like there was some energy that pushed me to eagerly touch her. I felt like I was going to burst with so much heat and desire when our eyes met.
"My mate," I suddenly heard a voice inside me say. At the same time, I had an inexplicable pain that felt like it was going to flare up and that a monster inside my body wanted to break free. I can't control him; he's too strong. I saw the surprise in the eyes of my opponent, the man in black, as he looked at me, who was gradually changing his aura. I could feel the fear in his eyes when he saw and recognized who my wolf was.
"Fenrir!"
Traces of panic and fear snort of wicked scar man.
It was obvious in his reaction that he was eager to kill my wolf and win the fight, but he was the one who failed. He thought his opponent was a weak alpha, and he was the one I extinguished to the end. Because of the excessive strength and energy I released, I felt empty and drained. My vision suddenly went dark, and my eyelids completely closed.
~ Sortitus ~ "How are you feeling?" I frowned when I heard the woman's voice. She had just entered this hut. I had been awake for a while, but the events of the war remained unclear in my mind. The woman sat next to me, and she helped me get up from lying down because I still felt a little pain in my muscles even though I didn't have any wounds on my body. "I prepared something for you to eat. Eat now," she said to me with concern. She was about to bring the spoon closer to my mouth when I suddenly refused and pushed her hand away. I swallowed, and I got up immediately from lying on the pallet. "Who are you? Wait.. what happened?" I asked curiously because I don't remember how I got to this hut. "Clavem, that's my name. I brought you here because you passed out earlier in the war." I frowned, held my senses, and was confused by what she was saying. "L-Lost consciousness?" I asked in turmoil. "Because your wolf has come out of you, Alpha," she gladly informs me. "It's not even c
~ Clavem ~"Clavem, how many times have I told you? You aren't allowed to eat with us. Then you're acting as if you don't know or as if you're so ignorant that you don't get it! Would you like me to spell capslock for you? For you to comprehend! What a shame."I bit my bottom lip, tightened my grasp on the wooden chair to keep my emotions under control, and forced a grin. "M-My a-apologies. I'm s-sorry," I stammered. "I'll just j-join the s-servants later for dinner. I'm sorry, Luna.""Good to know," she said boldly and calmly after drinking the pineapple juice in her right hand.I bowed and carefully returned the chair, leaving the alpha Sortitus and alpha-luna Heres to eat in peace and quiet in the large mansion that Sortitus also owned. I came to a stop when someone stopped me from heading to the dirty kitchen."No, you may sit there, Clavem," Alpha Sortitus stated in a deep voice. Even though I wasn't facing him, my two ears could still hear the rustling of the beef steak he was c
~ Clavem ~When I heard the scream from the bathroom, I immediately set down my basin. When I noticed Heres in the bathtub, crying because the hot shower was mistakenly switched on, I instantly opened the bathroom door. I quickly inside and turned off the shower. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body. Her crimson clothing were drenched, and she was still sobbing.She called out, "Clavem..."I gazed at her without hesitation, and her eyes begged, "Please... let him go. I'm begging you, Clavem... let him go."Her eyes are puffy, and a warmth drips from her nose, but she doesn't care."Clavem.." she said gently.She grabbed both of my hands. "I'll pay you how much you want, just name your prize, and stay away from him," she uttered, biting her bottom lip.I reclaimed my hands from her. "I don't need your money.""If you don't want m-money.... then I can do w-whatever you want... Just p-please... be the one to reject him." She gripped my hand once more and tightened her grip.I
~Sortitus~ "Alpha, are you assured you know what you're doing defending a criminal woman?" I took James, my most trusted beta, out of the kingdom to find Clavem, who was now being hunted by the civil guards, as well as the Chief Zeta's and the Gamma's, due to the crucial order of Heres, especially because her father was in the association on the other side of the country. So, as her Father, the King, assigned Heres to govern their realm and implemented a distinctive and very terrible punishment, Clavem was sentenced to death as payment for the valuable life she took. "Fuck off!" I curse badly. "You'd better just help me find her!" Now my pulse is beating rapidly, and my entire body is shivering in dread of Clavem's impending death. Damn it! I cannot understand myself anymore, but I also don't want Clavem to be hurt, and I seem to lose my mind if something horrible occurs to her. I could see James was confused by his tone. "But it was Clavem who killed the queen," he said, paused,
Sortitus POV"This is what you wanted too, wasn't it?" Clavem answered me sternly.'I never asked for all of your misery to happen.' I shook my head, frowning. Hides the tearer's urge to weep. I couldn't make a sound; my chest was tight, and my breathing was blocked. Only in my head could I hear voices.Her insistent words sucked into my bones. I also swallowed numerous times when she tried to cut off my grip on her and chose to kneel down again, this time bowing her head. No sound could be heard from her as she closed her eyelashes and mouth. She is merely waiting for her demise in this world."Woughhh! Tasty! Is that all you can do?" Fortis huffed as he stood up, savoring his own blood from his lips.I opened my eyelids, angered. I took a deep breath and stood tall beside Clavem's kneeling position. I swallowed, clenched my fist, and cleared my throat. I have no choice except to teach my cousin Fortis a lesson."Son of a whore!"BLAG!I tortured Fortis in various ways, such as by th
Sortitus POVI clenched my fist and held back my sobs in front of them all. However, I didn't want to add to my weakness, frustration, and hatred of the wolves because of my considerations for Clavem, who was a plague to our pack. "Enough everyone! Don't throw stones at the poor woman!" Lucio, my younger brother, disobeyed when Clavem was pelted with rotten eggs and tomatoes. Lucio's eyes and mine met, and I could see his fear and concern for Clavem. For a while, even though he didn't know the woman well, he felt at ease with her."My pack!" I exhaled and unclasped my palm, standing up straight with Heres and seeing my members in the eyes. "Clavem is innocent. I know in my inner self that what you are accusing is innocent! My fated mate did not kill!""Unbelievable!" Heres shout without brakes."Immoral!" screamed the entirety of the pack."Upside down!" "Nothing at his father's feet!" I stamped one of my feet extremely hard on the floor, producing a massive and eerie sound that co
Sortitus POV"If you refuse her, I will reduce her punishment, but if you are stubborn, you know where your fated mate will end up.""D-Don't..." I objected."Yes, do you want it? Or will I make the decision for you, my dear alpha?"My eyes widened, I swallowed, and my jaw tightened so much that veins emerged on both of my hands. I didn't know my hands were already wrapped around Heres' arm. Arnela was about to abduct me when Heres stated not to touch me, causing her to retreat once more."Why are you doing this?! I married you, and I love you so much!" I stated in silence enough for her to hear."Yes! And I love you too deeply that's why I'm doing this." She forcefully held my hand back on her arm, and I could feel the heat from her palm. She locked her gaze on me before pulling my hand away from her skin. She didn't even wait for my response before turning to face the entire packs and uttering a forceful statement."Clavem Whitestern, you have committed a serious crime against the Qu
~Clavem~"Servant, you look familiar?"I moved swiftly to avoid the woman who seemed to recognize me.BOOM! I didn't notice I'd bumped into someone tall, someone wearing long clothes. In my haste, I hastily covered my face. He was a member of the council."Watch out!" he yelled, his eyes blazing. I didn't say anything; might he have recognized me just by my voice? He also spotted my gold watch as I put it in my pocket after picking it up off the ground after I bumped him.I remained silent and kept my mouth shut. I continued my walk."Stop!"My response remained impassive. A few moments later, the man approached me again without hesitation.I turned my face downward as his hand came closer and touched the piece of black cloth that was worn to cover half of my entire face."Why do you hide your face, servant?! Are you ugly or..." he was confused and stopped, "On ---." He could not continue speaking when a familiar voice was heard that reminded me of the past."He's here," I heard from
~Clavem~I removed the cover from my mouth to breathe easy; after all, there were no other werewolves around me, so I wouldn't be caught.My lips parted at what I discovered in the picture. A mystical woman under the sunset. According to the picture I'm holding, the former king kisses the woman, Heres' father, on the cheek. But the part of the woman's face in the picture was torn. Another thing that added to my doubt and wonder was when I saw the woman wearing a simple yellow dress because I was sure that the queen hated this color and taste of fashion style, and the queen was not white; she was completely brunette.When I turned back to the photo, I saw the blood written on those letters."Sheila."The blood ink that is written is not human but comes from my fellow wolf.When I read this, my frame of mind suddenly changed, and my hunch was not good. What does this picture have to do with my case? Is this evidence I can use to bring justice to the queen and clear my name? Or is this a
