Reborn- His Scarlet Moon The story of Ryan's mother
Ryan's mother was just a teenager back then. Her pack lived towards the northern borders. Even though they didn't have a luxurious life, they weren't lacking in anything. They drank from the mountain streams, ate from the trees, played and trained around the woods. In short, life seemed quite good. However, they were a very small tribe. They were easily outnumbered one fine day , when the sun was still shinning bright in the sun. They tried to resist, but were over powered very very quickly. The males were immediately butchered and discarded, their heads rolling all over the ground. The children were taken away to be raised as captives and later on serve the winning pack . The hungry wolves, pounced on the women, who were left behind. They pleasured themselves with them. Toyed around and abused a few as well. They took with them the ones they fancied, to exploit them further. The rest of them, who were either old, crippled or ugly, were let, immediately ablaze. Ryan's mother
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Ryan' s mother's POV - ... past
There was pain all over my body as the cloud of confusion in my mind slowly started settling down. I didn't remember much of what happened after the gates closed except for the blacking out after being shoved inside what looked like a stable. When my eyes shot open, I was in a market. The stench of sweat and dirt filled the air, mingling with the cacophony of haggling voices and clattering hooves. My hands were tied up and I was tied with a couple of more girls. My captors pulled mercilessly at the ropes,citting into my wrist and commanded, " Move," with cold eyes.They led me through the throng of people, the grip on my arm tight and unrelenting.We arrived at a clearing. There was a small gathering,apparently waiting for our arrival. They were all horrible looking men, their greedy gazes appraising me like a piece of livestock. My eyes darted around, desperately searching for any signs of hope or escape. But the towering walls of the market seemed to close in on me, reminding me of m

It had come for her. It was supposed to comfort her. It did, however, what was behind it was more than terrifying. Helos, the lover that Ryan's mother had, had done something terrible in his blind rage.He had gone back to his tribe and immediately reported what was happening. He begged for them to come and rescue his mate but all the elders were definitely against it. They were not married, which meant that he really didn't have any legal claim over her. And for tribes to take over another was a norm in those days. The Northern chiefs all voted against launching a head on attack over another powerful pack. Their reason was very rational but Helos lost his sense of right and wrong in the wilderness of his haywire emotions. He retreated with his head bowed. The darkness inside him, slowly consumed him. In the dead of the night, he went out in the wild, straight towards the Black caves, which was a forbidden place that reeked of dark wizardry. There he made a deal with his darkness. He

" Sherry get your sassy ass right here. Right now! "Sherry looked behind her back at a raging Ryan who broken inside while his father still had his hand one her back. " What gave you the idea that you could run away without my order? "He yanked her out of his father's grip, grabbing her by the hair, hurting her on purpose. " Ouch! Ryan! It hurts! "she tried to protest but Ryan shoved her down, towards the floor, forcing her face towards his father. " It's meant to hurt my rag doll. It's going to hurt a lot worse when we are back home. Now, move! "Ryan pulled her up by her elbow and tried to shove her out of there. But before he could do that, his father grabbed the back of Sherry's dress with the cane in his hand. " What's the rush my boy? Why are you mistreating my little guest? "Ryan had to stop because the edge was actually cutting the dress open. It was a threat to expose her in front of the entire gathering there. Ryan knew that something was up from the moment Rose too

His mother was already carrying him in her womb when she went to meet her beloved as promised. Her gaze was lowered, devoid of the joy that aught to have filled her heart with the first sight she beheld of the Northern Chief. " You have no idea how worried I was. I thought you would never come to me... "He tried to wrap her in his embrace but instead of reciprocating she flinched. Helos looked at her, head to toe. And then he too, took a step behind. " What is it? Did you not come back to me? Look at me. Look around... " He evoked the creatures of the night that he had mastery above, the gigantic Grey Wolves who now, resembled the hounds. Ryan's mother took a step back. " What are these? " she asked, curious and surprised. She wasn't naive to the arts of dark wizardry. " Our minions, dear one. Our soldiers in aid when we rule as king and queen. " he tried to come close to her and kiss her again. This time she held her hand up and stopped him directly on his track. " I am afr

A heavily crippled Helos was groaning aloud as be dipped himself repeatedly in what looked like a dark ink. A bath full of that thick, sticky liquid. With every dip , parts of his body, repaired itself. He walked out of his revival bath, youthful and vibrant, no longer a crippled man. His body charred with the toxicity of his rituals. His body succumbed under the load of the dark forces that Helos ushered to aid his evil missions. He walked straight to his room, staring at himself, naked in the mirror, admiring his newly formed skin, touching his wrinkle free facial features. Just then something dropped in the background, with a loud thud. " Sarah? What is this behavior? How can you drop in like this? "He turned around to face her, cloaking his private parts with the snap of a finger in a dark leather. " It's Midnight... Don't call me by that facade that you force me to put up..... Now hurry up and give me my bottle. I am starving.... I am dying.... "She did not look like the

Ryan's patience was dripping by the very minutes. His hands were starting to act on their own accord, starting to disobey what his brain said. Before he knew it, Rex had taken over and his claws were digging in the flesh of his father's throat. The painting dropped from his hands as his eyes glowed up with pain and pleasure of new discovery. The view of Ryan's Alpha look. Luckily, Sherry walked in just then and saw the tussle they were engaged in. " Ryan, let go of him. Don't you call him father? How can you behave like this with him? "Her voice sent Rex off and Ryan was back to his senses. He let go of his old man, who stumbled on his feet and started coughing , to catch his breath. Sherry looked from Ryan to his father and back, for a couple of times. Just then, Rose rushed in as well. She hesitated only for a few moment, looking at Ryan's angry face. Then she darted over to his father and whispered something in his ears. He looked at her in absolute disgust, " How could yo
Reborn- His Scarlet Moon Sarah's POV - I was just a pawn
I was insecure watching the rate at which Sherry and Ryan were falling for each other, all over again. I wasn't opposed to her happiness but I was wary of what had happened before we lost everything. ***Let me take you back in time a little. A time when life seemed a little logical -I was just headed towards the Moonlight Pack but before I could reach, I saw Sherizad coming at our place. I watched her storm straight back to her mother's chamber. " When is Tristan coming? I want to get married to him right now! "I knew something had happened between her and Ryan for her to act so stupid and impulsive. We all knew how madly in love, she was, with Ryan, even though they never professed. " Tristan should be on his way Sherizad... But why does it seem like you just got rejected, darling? " I was sure the intension of her mother was not to mock her or anything but she whacked her hand away then trotted straight towards her father's tent. It was the proudest moment of my life when I

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

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

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

"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

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

" 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

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
