"Think, Ghino! Better think before Big Boss, Victor, or whatever his name is, and his ready-to-kill werewolves get back to the mansion." I uttered profanity to myself as my wolf puffed out a heavy load of worrying air from my mouth and nose. We already stayed enough in the mansion yet I haven't saved Nathan yet. Perhaps Big Boss and his wolves are on their way to the mansion, knowing it would be impossible that no one from his wolves with us had reported the incident. With just a tap of anyone's fingers on the phone, they can notify Big Boss about the surprising invasion. Not to mention I have seen only less than thirty wolves around out of the hundreds that I sensed before we invaded them. After buffing out the cold air, my preoccupied brain, little by little, started to ease off. All my senses were cleared out, eased off, and nothing was left but the continuous sound of impeccable silence, allowing me to hear the sounds of nature. The sound was too benign; deaf
Even so, the burnt-out skin did not stop me from trying over and over again. I have to get Nathan out of the mansion by all means necessary. By all means necessary also means even if it will cost my life. There is no way I could break the barrier with my bare hands, yet I looked like a fool on keeping on trying. Nevertheless, after a few attempts trying, my wolf still fails on breaking the barrier. My werewolf strength has started to drain and I can barely depend on my human strength in this kind of life-and-death scenario. "Just go, Ghino. Save yourself for me. Please bring them out of the mansion before Victor and his wolves get back." Nathan suddenly ejected a few drops of blood from his mouth. "No, I can't, Nathan. That's the problem. I can't leave you behind because of my fucking love for you." Along with the gritting of teeth, I clenched my head harder when my brain could not think of a better idea of how to get him out of the barrier. The powder of mountain
"Do you think you can defeat me, huh? You may be powerful now, Ghino, but I have been one for hundreds of years. Look around you." Big Boss announced with a proud smile on his face. His wicked laughter shivered through the hair on the back of my neck and then cascaded down on every corner of my backbone. Around us were hundreds of thousands of innocent dead bodies piled up and lying on the ground, all lifeless, including the students and professors in our school, my friends, Nadine, Edwin, and Jackson while Nathan was held in his right hand and thrown his body to his left hand again and again like a toy. Those hundreds of thousands of innocent lives had cut off arms and legs. Headless. And hearts ripped off. The colour of the sky reddened as it reflected the colour of the blood that flooded the surface of the earth. "They all died in my hands, Ghino. Did you help any of them?" his wicked laughter continued. This time, it sounded like a bolt of thunder and piercing lig
"How did you know about it?" I curiously asked Edwin, partly confused, surprised, and pleased. It already answers Roger's main concern about the safety of his wolves. Partly confused and surprised because I have been studying in the school all my life, yet I'm not aware there are tunnels beneath the school. My wolf and I have also witnessed a few renovations of the school but it never comes to my knowledge about the tunnels. Partly pleased and relieved because the tunnels were built beneath the school. In that way, we don't need to suffer googling or searching for one. And the distance from us every time we go to school is just one jump away. But what intrigued me the most was how Edwin knew all that. We've been close friends for ages, but he hadn't mentioned that to any of us. Or maybe we haven't talked about it. "Dude, you know that I'm a bookworm type of wolf. I love reading books anything that has letters, sentences, phrases, and paragraphs. It's in history. But I'm pretty sure
Then he rested his head above the building, pointing his eyes to those other Russian wolves removing the previous name of the school. Nathan and I also exchanged bothered glances. So, I was thinking. Was it a mere coincidence that Victor bought the school right after Roger and his wolves agreed to hide underneath those tunnels which we think would be safe for them to stay in? Part of me wanted to run with Nathan to the tunnels to inform Roger about the unexpected news that greeted us that morning. However, if we are going to do that in the middle of the school renovation, a few Russian wolves might see us since one of the main entrances to the tunnels was located in the parking lot. And in the parking lot, my eyes can see a few of Victor's wolves roaming around. If they keep staying longer in the parking lot, I'm afraid the secret entrance would unfold, especially when Roger or anyone from his wolves would head out. "Don't worry, alpha Victor also added that no one
"Well, good luck with that, Nathan." Victor immediately groped his hands in his pocket and returned to his seat and grabbed a bunch of documents from the drawer. "Anyway, I want you to sign something." He studied those documents for a few seconds first before he grabbed a signing pen and dropped them on his desk. I never heard Victor's heartbeat skipping or beating so slow. That means he was telling the truth that he wants Nathan to sign something whatever that is. "Who said I'm gonna sign anything for you, huh, Victor?" Nathan said back. And I was put into a tough situation where my wolf had to take keep an eye on both. Even if I believe that there was no harm in Victor's mood at the moment, it will not change the fact that he was the main reason why Nathan's blood boiled. "Well, if you're not going to sign this, I'm gonna let anyone do it. And you'll probably regret it if I do that since It's about the ownership of this school. You know, Nathan. Even if we don't have
"What do you think, Ghino?" Nathan asked. "Well. Not that I don't like the idea, but we have to ask them first. We need their thoughts too. Melissa and her mum died in Big Boss' hands. For me, it's too early for Vladimir to get back to his position as president. I'm not even sure if he already moved on with that nightmare of his life or had he mourned their death already. Someone with no straight thinking, might do something aggressive and start a war between two countries." Edwin and Nathan were put into silence as we continued walking through the dark tunnels, thinking about what I said. Though I did not get the chance to talk to Vladimir, not because I had something to say but because he was the president. I don't know if someone like me is allowed to get close or talk to him. After a few minutes of tailing everyone's scents, we arrived at their hidden place. Nathan handed over twenty plastic bags full of bread rolls and bottles of water we bought from the school ca
"So, you were saying I must not know even one piece of information about this wolf because you're afraid that I might say something to Victor?" Nathan raised the questions, full of doubts. He studied our eyes, one by one, begging at least one of us to support his doubts. And so are we to him, including me. Not because my wolf no longer trusts him, but because his recklessness was the main reason Victor achieved what he wants to become. And if some information about this wolf gets leaked, we can't afford to lose him since we believed that whoever this wolf is, can match or, if given the chance, defeat Victor's indestructible wolf. So, I avoided Nathan's eyes when he stayed his gaze on me, trying to ignore him as much as everyone. This mission conforms to life and death. He may be the most important being in my life but I must not just ignore there were hundreds of millions of innocent lives who are about to die. "Fine. I'd better go then," he added. Then, he tossed
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
