After my phone stopped ringing, it rings again. This time, not from Jackson's but Edwin's. Next to Edwin was another unregistered digit. "Better answer those calls, Nathan. We don't know, maybe all of them have bad news for you about your loving, caring, and understanding boyfriend, Ghino." Big Boss added. So, my eyes could not help but point and lock my eyes on the phone in front of me. Part of me wanted to answer the calls but if I'm gonna do that, it means that I am playing Big Boss' games. As soon as the ringing stopped, I deliberately dragged my helpless and curious gaze back to the screen of the laptop with my heartbeat running at the speed of light. My entire forehead and neck were already covered in sweat. "No. I'm not gonna play your games, Big Boss. Nevertheless, you can never have my dad's ring. Never." This time, I muttered in a threatening tone. Even glimmered the colour of my eyes despite Big Boss and his wolves cannot see them glowing. But when t
Ghino and his friends have done too much for me. This time, I should be the one to do something for them. So, I grabbed the pen and jotted down everything that runs through my brain before they disappeared. It took me almost half an hour to compose my letter for Ghino. Afterwards, I went out of the room and marched to the kitchen to extend a hand to Ghino and Nadine to cook our meals. "What do we have here?" I eagerly asked to lift everyone's mood. In the middle of composing my letter, my ears could not help but eavesdrop on their conversations. They were all worried about my safety. Because of that, Ghino came up with a backup plan aside from depending on the barrier and was approved by his friends without further questions. And their backup plan was promising to my ears. There is no way their plan could not work. However, my decision not to involve them anymore was already final and irrevocable. "It's not your favourite, Nathan. We're already out of budget. B
As soon as I left the building, my doubted conscience never looked back. Not even a glimpse back to the building. My decision was already final and irrevocable as I mentioned earlier. All I have to do is to trust the process wholeheartedly. To trust my wolf instinct that everything will work out according to my plan. With no wireless headset, chipset cameras, or even phone with me, my eyes will see only what was ahead. And I will not be expecting any help coming from Ghino and his friends if things go south. But I strongly believed that nothing bad will happen to me until forty-eight hours. Unfortunately, I could not wait for my two days to end. I need to do something in advance. A few minutes passed, I found myself at one of the tables in my dad's restaurant waiting for my gig members to arrive. As soon as my foot stepped foot inside the restaurant, I immediately enhanced my werewolf senses to check the entire place if there is an unusual one. "Do you need someth
"But I thought you were dead?" I said in utter surprise, then I set the helmet on the bike and slid closer to Roger and those two old men with him. "What was that for?" He curiously asked after reaching to his flushed face. The two old men with him growled at me and were about to attack me but Roger blocked his hands on their chests. "Well. You can't blame me for that. My wolf needs to make sure I wasn't dreaming." I defensively breathed back. Part of me could not deny the fact that my wolf felt at ease seeing him alive. There were a lot of things my wolf wanted to tell Roger since Ghino and his friends got me out of the penitentiary. Sadly, I no longer have much time for that. Even if their sudden show up is to stop me from executing my plan, none of them can stop me. My wolf is doing this to make sure everyone's safety. To make sure everyone lives. I can't afford to see another drop of blood that will stain the ground, especially from Ghino and his friends. M
"My thousand wolves want to fight with you against Big Boss, Prince Nathan. Tonight is the perfect opportunity to do that when we already plotted everything." Roger said back. "What do you mean you guys have plotted everything?" If my instinct was right about what he just said, why do they still need me? I'm just a no-one with no experience in leading a battle. Roger suddenly waved his hands behind me. When I turned my face around, I was surprised when the daughter he was referring to was the female wolf who worked as one of the servers in my dad's restaurant. That explains her familiar eyes. They resembled Roger's. "I'm so sorry for being late, dad. Our manager made a very important announcement about Prince Nathan's lies." She smiled at me before she kissed Roger's forehead and stood still beside him. She knew what I said to the manager was a total lie. Of course, Roger must have informed her about heading to the mansion alone. "So, what did I miss?" She adde
In the middle of my journey to the mansion, my wolf could not help but think of Roger's proposal. They believed that their plan is going to work out if my wolf will lead them. Yet, I declined even if handing over to Big Boss dad's badge was completely against my will. However, it's the only thing I know everything will end. My wolf should have said yes to them. Dad's instructions were pretty clear that I should keep the badge with me no matter what happens. That Big Boss can destroy a few things my wolf could barely imagine. But Big Boss promised me that once I will hand over the ring to him, he will not kill Ghino and his friends, the people in the school, and my friends. I will be holding to that promise. On the other hand, the second reason my wolf wanted to solo the mission tonight is part of me believed that my parents and Melissa's parents are still alive. That Big Boss simply locked them somewhere in the mansion to be their prisoners. Perhaps they are still in
He shortly closed his eyes and started sniffing the air, tailing those wolves' scents in the dense forest. From the close distance of our spots, my wolf suddenly felt completely terrified when I could sense the weirdest aura I'd ever seen and felt. There was this transparent utter darkness and terrifying warmth that come out of his body when he opened his eyes but now in a different colour - that alpha's eyes. My wolf has witnessed dad enhance his werewolf senses a few times but never have I ever felt terrified of him every time he does that. There are no things or feeling such as terrifying in his wolf. Though, undeniably, I can sense that he was strong. But Big Boss' alpha aura gives me goosebumps. No wonder Big Boss has been feared by many. Even the alpha of the Crescent which covered the majority of the population in New York City was terrified of him. Alpha blood was supposed to run through my veins but no one gets terrified of me either in the school or in o
Before my countdown could reach fifteen, Bug Boss let go of his grip on me and pushed me to his wolves. "Lock him in the basement. And don't you dare lose your eye sights on him. There are thousands of wolves around us. We must be cautious." Then, Big Boss rushed back inside when his wolves dragged me to the basement by force. I haven't heard of any basement in our mansion. Neither dad nor mum had mentioned about its existence when they got the chance before I had my condo unit. Perhaps the basement is where dad and the rest of the wolves who are still alive were locked up. But when the door of the basement got opened, I was completely surprised when my eyes could only see three wolves with their arms, legs, and even their necks knotted with those two to three inches chains. "Where are the rest of the wolves?" I curiously asked the wolves who were dragging me to the empty cell at the center. They immediately put chains on my arms, legs, and neck, like the way they did
Because I can't stop his blood from flowing, I encourage Nathan to focus on his healing abilities. But Im not sure if he was listening to my words when I could barely feel his breathing anymore. His eyes weren't moving at all either. After hearing no sound of a single heartbeat from Nathan, I held his hands and applied what Scott taught me about absorbing someone's pain. And I don't care if I'm gonna lose all my strength and power to save Nathan. "Oh. So, sweet of you, Ghino. Still, trying to revive Nathan's life? Come on. I already told you in the nightmares a few times that you can't beat me. You can't stop me. Because you're too weak for me." Victor kept encircling me as though he was enjoying the show. "Nathan... Please, talk to me. I can't live without you. Please, wake up." I let go of my grip to relax my muscles a bit. Then, I reached out to his hands for the second time and absorbed all the discomfort that he felt. "Just give up, Ghino. He's already dead. N
The next thing that happened was when I found myself lying on the ground covered in blood. And my eyes enlarged when the scent of the blood was not mine but Scott's. So, I shortly checked my chest if I got wounded by Ghino's claws. There's none. Then, I dragged my eyes back to Scott as my eyes saw how deep the penetration was when a few drops of blood got ejected from his body while removing Ghino's hands from him. Scott turned around, ignored those drops of blood coming out of his chest, and pointed his sharp gaze at Victor. Knowing what Scott could do, Victor stepped back and shifted into a wolf. A huge terrifying wolf. It was my first time seeing him transformed into a gigantic wolf. No wonder even alphas like my dad, Vladimir, and Cerberus are terrified of him. Who could not be? His werewolf body size was three or five times bigger than Scott's wolf size. However, Scott showed no fear of his shocking transformation. He crawled closer and closer to Victor with
As soon as the ten armoured cars started trekking to the main entrance of the football field, continuous sounds of gunshots immediately arose. Howlings and moans also reverberated in our ears; our indications for me, Scott, and Lilith to head to the back entrance of the football field. As expected, Victor's wolves also greeted us when we reached the mouth of the entrance. Luckily, there were only six of them who were stationed at the back. Despite the fact that we are still outnumbered, I'm confident enough that we can defeat them with the help of Scott's true alpha power, especially when he already regained much of his power. I may not join them in his training with Ghino, but I can sense he was also regaining his strength and power in silence. "Nathan, leave these wolves to us. Better find Ghino as soon as possible. Right now, he was the most valuable wolf amongst us. He should not die and be saved at all costs. Do you understand me?" Scott made sure the message wil
{Nathan's POV} The next morning, I woke up on the bed alone with Ghino's pillows lying on the floor. After putting them back, I quickly jumped out of the bed and descended to the first floor to help everyone with the final preparation for the battle against Victor and his wolves. "How's everything?" I asked Scott when he was the first wolf who greeted my eyes the second I hopped out of the elevator. "Everything's ready, Prince Nathan. Have you checked about any updates from Roger?" Scott asked back. My hands quickly reached out to my phone in my pocket to check out of I got notified by Roger or his daughter. The second my eyes landed on the screen, I immediately called back when there were four missed calls from Roger's name. "I got a missed call from Roger," I muttered to Scott while the phone from the other line kept ringing. After a few attempts at reaching out to Roger's digits, my calls were already directing me to his mailbox. And I don't know what to
But from the way, the wolves around Cerberus looked at me, my feeble instinct was telling me I was right about it. They didn't know about my statement. That's why Cerberus immediately changed the subject. And by the way, Cerberus looked at me, his expression suddenly changed. From a steady heartbeat, they skipped a few times. Aside from that, he was pacing his eye to and from mine. "We're here for Edwin. Where is that bastard?" Nathan insisted. He then challenged Cerberus to growl back as though he had almost forgotten the man still had his alpha blood even if he already surrendered his title to Victor. "That's one of our purpose coming here, Cerberus." I produced a ticking sound in my mouth. "I'm not gonna address you politely anymore since you no longer deserve my sole respect." "We're here for a negotiation, Mr Cerberus. To get you out of the mess the Blue Moon Pack are facing into. And for you to get back your alpha title instead of just a dog to someone's sha
Three days before the full moon, we have gathered a total of sixty wolves from different packs and a hundred humans who are in the middle of their worries and fears of joining forces with us. We openly declared to them that we are not the way they think about us. That we were the same monsters who killed people. But Scott and I always encouraged them to demolish that kind of mindset; that not all werewolves are as monstrous as Victor. I hate promises, but Scott promised them that we are getting back what was right for the humans at the right time. In order to make that happen, we need them to have enough courage and help us with the plan. Roger and his daughter also flew back to Russia to seek help if he could get any. And will give us feedback as soon as possible before the full moon. As far as we know, Victor hadn't completed colonizing the entire United States. That means the rest of the countries are still untouched by Victor's wrath. However, I'm pretty sure t
"How does it differ when you go there alone without any chance of killing the murderer of your parents, Nathan? If you want to die there, I'll go with you. But we must have a plan. A divine plan. Will you trust me on this one for the last time?" Then, I shifted back into a human and offered a hand to him. Nathan stared at my hands hanging in the air for a few seconds. And it somehow hurt me when it already takes a minute, yet he did not reach out to my hands. "But this is my fight, Ghino. You've done enough for me and the pack. I don't want to accuse you again." Nathan felt sorry for what happened between us back in the town. Then, I felt at ease when he grabbed my hand. "Even if you will accuse me a million times, Nathan, I know in my heart I will never do that to you. From the day my wolf fell in love with you, I took an oath to protect you even if it cost my life." Despite the news that befell Nathan, I forced a smile at him, thinking it might change his mood. "
Without hesitation, I hopped out of the car and shifted into a wolf after seeing those three newly-bitten wolves approaching in our direction. Even from the distance, I could feel their hunger and urge to see blood on their claws and fangs. And from what I could sense, Victor's wolf scents were marked and sealed on them. It means that they were humans Victor recruited recently. The worst part is that I could barely sense any signs of mercy in their expressions. Victor intentionally left them to kill whoever they could see. That was all the nightmares about. He let me believe it was me who killed those piled-up bodies in my dream but it was his new wolves' doing. "Ghino... don't!" Nathan yelled at me but it was already too late when I jumped on the wolves and attacked them one by one which also left Scott and Nathan no choice but to follow. Roger and his daughter also helped. "Ghino, leave these three omegas with us. You better check the tunnels if they're still
"I guess that's a long story to tell, Mr Scott. How about you can continue the storytelling on our way to New York?" It sounded a bit harsh but kneeling everything about what happened to him is our less priority. Our stay in San Francisco had already taken long enough compared to what we planned which is on our second day, we must be travelling back to New York with or without Scott Mccall so we could plan our next move against Victor and his wolves. "And for the record, Mr Scott, we are gonna use the car to get to New York, not with the use of our werewolf barefoot. We don't want you to use and drain all your werewolf strength before reaching the city." Ghino added. "Okay. Just give me a sec. I need to talk to Aria first." Perhaps Scott was referring to the female alpha. Then, he shifted back to his human form and slid to the corner where the female alpha is. I slid closer to Ghino to discuss about the next plan since we already have Scott with us. Sadly, before I could even step
