Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Revving up again
Ryan sat all alone in his office chair, brooding.Drowing in his sea of thoughts, over and over again. His confident posture slouched as he seemed lost in melancholy. His eyes stared blankly at the computer screen, his fingers tapped aimlessly on the desk. The office was dead quiet, except for the sound of his breath and the occasional tick-tock of the clock on the wall.He couldn't shake off the feeling of forlornness that had settled in his heart since he had left Sherry at home. Her words lingered in his mind, haunting him. He wondered if he made the right choice, leaving her there all alone. He couldn't focus on work, as his mind kept wandering back to her.He kept swinging his chair back and forth. Standing up all of a sudden and then slouching back again. His phone had been ringing non- stop for some time. He had intentionally over looked Josh calling him, over and over again. Perhaps he wanted a sinple text or call from the one he had left back home. He knew Josh wasn't calling
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Clue
"Son of a bitch! We missed them again! How the hell are they one step ahead of us?"Josh was mumbling, as his men ravaged through what was left of that make shift base. "I don't know, man, but we need to find out who they are and put an end to this. They're messing with our reputation . Boss won't stand for it when he hears about our failure. "Another said, his voice tinted with a little fear. Josh smacked a wooden plank into dush then continued, "It seems like they have been tracking Chong for months. Every step we are getting closer, they keep slipping away. Damn! It's like they know our every move."Just then they heard Ryan's engine, tearing forward, slicing through the silence of the woods. They ran outside, in hope of greeting him, but he was already standing at the door when they turned. " Boss... "They bowed with amazement, wonder and shock. Ryan smiled at their faces and walked slowly in and patted their backs. " I leapt out of the car because that Beck wanted some
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Timing
As he ran in the dark and eerie night, with the full moon shining through the thick canopy of trees, casting eerie shadows across the forest floor, he had no idea where he was going. He was a new recruit in Josh's team. Seemed like he bit more with the job than he could be chewing. The man ran through the woods, his heart pounding in his chest with every rustle of the leaves and snap of a twig. He could hear the distant sounds in the forest, sending chills down his spine.Suddenly, he heard a growl behind him and spun around, only to come face to face with a ferocious werewolf. Of course he didn't know what the thing was, furry and vicious,a huge bipedal beast. The creature stood towering over him with its razor-sharp claws and snarling jaws, warm drool dripping down his bared fangs. The man screamed in terror as the werewolf lunged at him, knocking him to the ground.He felt the sharp claws of the creature tear into his flesh, and he cried out in agony, convinced that he was about t
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Abomination
" Alright, pup, you're going to tell me everything you know from the beginning,starting with your pack." Ryan's voice was super calm but severe. One would think he was there for an opera performance. Perfectly poised. The werewolf just growled without uttering a single word. Ryan stood up then bent low. The werewolf yanked back into a human as his body crashed on the ground with a thud. He spit blood mixed with drool as a tooth fell in the little blood pool that he had spat out. Ryan's slap rang at his ear like thunder bolts as he yelped,collapsing back into a human"You're going to talk whether you like it or not!"Ryan roared, clasping his cheeks between two fingers, forcing open his mouth. The fierceness in his eyes suddenly changed it's hue. He constricted his eyes, trying to get a better view of what he saw inside. He trust his hand ferociously inside as the lad gagged with the force. He pulled out what was the remnants of his tongue as he kept protesting in his guttural vo
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Heal ( Past)
"Hold still, Tristen. This wound needs cleaning and stitching.I thought you were an Alpha, why are you whimperimg like a child? "Ryan roared, trying to hold Tristen down at the inn while the healer cauterized the first wound at his abdomen. Tristen winced as the healer tended to the wound. Ryan sat across on his chest, levitating while eyeing him suspiciously."So, Tristen, care to tell us how you managed to escape while the rest of your men fell to the Grey wolf hounds?"Tristen pulled his hand away from the healer's grip and eyed Ryan with counter suspicion. " Does my vulnerability give you the perfect opportunity to question me like this?"He snapped at Ryan. " Don't try to ignore me by giving this conversation another angle Tristen! " Ryan pinned him with his eyes. Tristen stood up, pushing the healer aside and held Ryan's collar differently. "What's your problem, Tristen? Why do you always have to pick a fight?Tristen winced in pain as he fell back,"You.My problem is you,
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV ( Kitchen)
I sat there in his living room. None of the boys had returned, Ryan, Beck or Josh. Ryan had asked a few of his men to stand guard at the entrance but they were not allowed inside. So I was basically sitting there, sulking and doing nothing in particular. If was after sometime that Bellow joined me for the night. He tried offering me food and drinks. He was really kind and sweet. " Why don't you sit down and have a drink with me? It's just grape juice! It's good for your tummy! "I winked as I pulled him beside me. As I forced his mouth open to force fees him the juice, because he was so shy, I immediately let him go. I saw something that sank my heart to the pit of the sea. Bellow didn't have a tongue. Was that the reason all along why he didn't talk? I clearly saw a scar left behind in his mouth from where the muscles were cut off. He too back off, probably feeling shy. He was a shy boy. But this topic was more sensitive. " I'm sorry Bellow, I don't mean to meddle here, but
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV ( Date)
" He is already inside! "I bluntly said, taking the pot off the stove. " Already inside huh? "My words seemed to stimulate him. He looked at me with playfulness in his eyes. As if encouraging me to tease him on. I couldn't help but giggle as I saw Ryan go and sit on the couch after that. Then he began looking at me with a mixture of curiosity and mischief. I decided to have a little fun with him, so I walked up to him and leaned in close, making sure he could smell my perfume, pretending to fetch an ingredient that I didn't even need in my cooking. "What's up, Ryan?" I asked, batting my eyelashes. "You seem a little tense."Ryan rolled his eyes. "Don't start with me, Sherry. I know you're up to something."I grinned. "Me? Up to something? Whatever do you mean?" I twirled a strand of my hair around my finger and leaned in even closer. "Let's just say I have a little something planned for tonight and I am so excited. "Ryan raised an eyebrow. "A little something with who?Did all th
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Their resemblance
Ryan drove like his car would tear the road open with its force. It wasn't just his vehicle that wad racing, but his mind was too. He couldn't shake off the eerie resemblance even Sherry's words had with that of his Sherizad. ***The timing was just after the attack on Tristan's pack. Sherizad was on her way to report to her father. But she stopped midway. She stopped in the middle of delivering such an important news because she found a stray kid on the forest bed, lying on the cold ground and bleeding from his mouth as if he had been poisoned. " Midnight, there is no time to waste. You go ahead and report back to father. "She instructed, bending over the boy and checking for his pulse." On it, " Midnight bade her farewell before disappearing, " But be careful. The woods are not safe any longer, even for werewolves. "Sherizad nodded. Sherizad leaned in closer to inspect the boy's mouth, her heightened sense of smell detecting the coppery scent of blood. She noticed somethin

Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Ryan's POV - Dear husband
" My dear husband, I know we haven't exchanged the vows but in my heart you have and always been the one and only one. I don't know how you will be able to explain this to all those waiting at that stadium. I don't know how you will cope with what I am about to say. Just know that this is not another betrayal. I love you. I am not leaving you. But I have to go now. It's not something in my hand. Take care of yourself. Take care of our new pack. I promise I will return. Wait for me to come back. So for now my dear Ryan, you are the deputy Alpha. You are in charge."That was what she sent me. My mobile phone crashed on the floor as I ran towards my car. I ran straight home. The limo was still standing in front of the gate. Rose was waiting there with a smile but it faded as soon as she saw my face. " Ryan? Why are you here? What happened? "She rushed inside as she saw me dart in without answering. I broke into the room where her scent was still coming from. "Sherry...... S
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV - Happy ending?
I couldn't believe it had already been months and what was more unbelievable was the fact that Rose was my bride's maid. I mean, I didn't want to hold onto anymore grudges. I told Ryan to sort things out with his father as well. We both went together to ask for his blessing before our wedding. "This one seems like a changed girl, my boy. You better be careful. " He had jokingly said, or was it a joke at all? I was indeed a different species at the moment. Not the weak human who had caught his eye. " You look stunning. I think I should keep an ambulance ready for Ryan. "Rose joked. She had done all the wedding preparations by herself. She had even helped me with deciding the dress. A very unique design. A high neck, see through courset dress with a very light weight trail. It had some pearl detailing on the veil that I was wearing and it matched the set that I was wearing as well. " Thank you for everything Rose. I know it must have been hard for you.... "" Oh, don't mind. It w
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV-Bulls eye
I knew I wasn't thinking very straight but there was nothing else that could be done. We had just buried two of our best friends. There shouldn't be any more burial from our side. Besides, if what Midnight said could be taken into account, there were many werewolves from Helo's end who were mere puppets. They needed to be protected as well. I head-on battle would only result in more innocent casualties. " Are you sure you want to do it this way... "Ryan's breath over my bare shoulder made me shiver from within. I was putting on my war costume. Just like old days. " This is the only way.... "I resumed putting the weapons into their respective places. But he turned me around. " You know I never contradicted you. I did everything that you asked me to do. Your way. "He pulled me closer and burnt his gaze into me. " Listen to me carefully Sherizad. I paid a very heavy price for that obedience last time. Don't you even think of leaving me this time. " He shook me with feral inte
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Battle prep.... 2.0
"So what is it you are willing to give for your friend to live"Helos laughed hysterically. He knew Midnight or Sarah, whatever you called her by, had no power over him. She was merely a slave bound to him by claws(clause of contract written in blood) but he hated that she was steadily slipping out of her grip. There she was, her hands blackened with the stain of collecting all those innocent souls. Yet she was unhinged by her own pain. She was begging Helos to spare her friend Sherizad. She was begging him as he drank one dark blood after another , replenishing his strength. "Anything... Anything that you want. I can bring you Ryan. I can give you his head. "" Silence little rat head! If his head was all I wanted , didn't I have better opportunities than this? "Midnight was desperate and she flung herself at his feet, her face landing right on the ground. Helos laughed. Then placed his feet above her ear. He pressed so hard that her head cracked a little. Midnight didn't scream.
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV - Back from the dead
" Sherry! Thank God! Thank God you are back! "My eyes were open but my view hadn't yet adapted to the new light conditions. But I could feel Ryan's tight and warm embrace around me. He was crying. He was crying as he was hugging me. I felt one hand around Ryan's back and my other hand was holding something hard. It was the hilt of the dagger that I had pierced myself with. " I am so sorry. I am sorry about what Beck did to you. I am sorry I couldn't stop him. I am sorry I couldn't save you both... "I could slowly see everything around me. I was on Ryan's lap, still on the road in front of my building. There was a small crowd in the back and I could hear the distant sound of the ambulance and police car blazing. I saw Beck's lifeless body lying just beside me. His hand almost touched mine as I tried to get up. I pulled Ryan's ear close to mine and whispered, " Take us out of here Ryan. It was no one's fualt. I remember everything now. I will tell you everything. It's was all prep
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV- Hereafter
It felt like I was falling down a glass tunnel. I could see glimpses of my life, flash across it's mirror-like surface. It was as if my life was playing before my eyes but in a reverse model. I could see the incident with Beck, my moments with Ryan, the days spent before that, me getting kidnapped, my first meeting with Ryan, my struggles with my dad, my miserable college life, followed by my school days. It kept going back and back till I saw myself as a baby in my dad's arm, in the same cave where he was murdered. And the moment that flashed after that were those of me getting taken away from my mother, who was lying unconscious in a hospital. Beside her was a man, who held her hand fondly. Definitely a spouse or a partner. The father of her child who was getting elated and was being congratulated for becoming a new father. So, the man I loved my whole life as a parent, was my kidnapper? Luckily, I wasn't in a state to feel any emotions and it was much easier that way. It was s
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sherry's POV - Life
I went straight back to my apartment. It was time for Sarah to be back for a nap. I was in no mood for a conversation so I went straight to the roof top. I needed some time to myself. I went straight to the corner and sat there, as my legs dangled from the edge. I didn't know what made me more upset. The fact that I was just a mere human lookalike of a great werewolf queen or the fact that Ryan actually never touched or kissed me. It was his former dead lover whom he had been searching for in me. It was honestly humiliating" Oh my god, Beck! You scared me. " His sudden movement made me jump up. I almost tripped from the edge and was about to fall. But Beck caught my hand luckily. " What are you doing here? "I asked as I stood up when he pulled me up, " Did your Boss ask you to check on me? " I couldn't think of any other reason for him to be there. " Are you alright? " Somehow that question of his was making me uncomfortable over the course of the last few days. " I am alright
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Gathered again
" Why is this place so crowded? Who are all these people? "Sherry asked as she made her way towards the store room. Josh was right behind her. " They are not normal people Sherry. They are like us... "Sherry had not been coming for work for about a week. Ever since her night with Ryan, she had been feeling some strange discomfort. Ryan had specifically asked her to stay home and rest. He went to check on her every night and came back with the morning sunrays. She was back that day, after her little break. " All of them? " She asked looking at a hall room full of werewolves for the first time in her life. Ryan and his boys never felt that alien but it was different for those present there. Each had distinct features. Each had a different kind of eye. " Is something happening? Like do you have any festival or something? What's the reason for the gathering? " Josh, chuckled. " Nah! Not a festival. We are preparing a party. A different kind. " Josh winked. Sherry ignored the s
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon After effect
Ryan and his men did realise that the den they visited had something definitely sinister about it. But they failed to realise that it had accelerated the process of repeating history. What Beck experienced, whatever happened to Sherry or her father's murder was not things that were individual. They were all connected by the thread of fate. " Has Chong and you,been working on the list? "Ryan asked. " Yes, we did. All of them. Didn't miss a single one. "Josh confirmed checking his recently dialed list, with a big wink. " How's Beck doing? " Ryan asked. He had been keeping quiet and acting a little weird, ever since they got back from that place. Ryan was now sure that there must be more scattered werewolves from their lost packs.Scattered every where, other the centuries. His new mission was to try and track any paranormal activity and recruit as many of them. He wanted to meet each one of them personally, to see whether he knew them already and persuade them. He had been trying
