"Nathan, are you hurt? Did he hit you?" Before he could answer me, I immediately grabbed his body and dragged him back to the restaurant when the killer continued showering his bullets in our direction. But then I suddenly remembered the killer got his information about Nathan from someone inside. My first suspicion was that the information comes from the reservation officer. There's no one else who Nathan gave his ID and bank card. That means neither of us is safe inside the restaurant. Neither is the casino. When we were about to rush to the exit, it was no longer bullets that greeted us but blazing arrows as they hit the walls. As soon as the diners saw the fire that crawled to the ceilings, they screamed continuously and were rattled. Some of them courageously rushed outside while some went through the casino. For that same reason, the people in the casino git panicked. "Ghino, what are we gonna do?" Nathan muttered as we settled beneath the table. "We need
"It doesn't matter where I got those eyes, you merciless hunter. What matters to me is I'm gonna stop everyone who will cross my way in making this world a safer place to live not just for the humans but for us, werewolves too." With my immeasurable werewolf strength and power, I pulled the man closer to me before I could pin his face to the floor. I was about to cut off the man's throat but the ceiling started peeling off to the ground. And I just realized most parts of the restaurant and the casino was already swallowed in a blazing fire and dark smoke. So, I quickly scanned the ground if someone did not get the chance to head out of the place. When my senses found none except the two of us, I let go of my hand and run as fast as possible to reach the exit before getting burned along with the building. And my conscience no longer care if the hunter could make it out alive or not. I already give him a second chance to live. He should be thankful for that. As soon as I
Five minutes later, Nathan and I laid our backs on top of the car with a full stomachs. My head rested on his right shoulder with his left hand rubbing my chest. Above us was a clear and open sky surrounded by billions of stars twinkling in numerous colours, staring at us. The billions of stars were the only witness to how delighted I am being with the one I love the most. It was completely benign that night. Just the two of us. The kind of scenario I want to transpire for the rest of our lives. Being away from the main city wasn't that bad after all. Away from people. And away from Victor. "Ghino, do you mind if I ask you something?" Nathan muttered while mesmerizing by the magnificence of the sky. "Okay?" I muttered back, partly sleepy. "But before I'm gonna ask you the question, could you promise me that you'll not say no or at least say to me that you are going think about it?" Nathan adjusted his face and pointed his gaze at me. Before I could answer
The night we spent together on top of the car was close to perfection. Us, making love under the billions of stars in the sky as our sole witness. Who could have thought our journey to San Francisco started with chasing enemies and ending up on each other's chests and arms? It was an exhausting but promising experience. Because my entire body was too weary, I slept faster than I expected. And so is Nathan. "Look what you just did, Ghino? Can you recognize those wolves you killed in your hands?" A bolt of thunder followed by a flash of electrifying lightning struck my ears. The boisterous and rough voice was coming from no other than Victor. Compared to my previous nightmare which I haven't told anyone about, his presence was all over the place but I could barely find utter darkness. So, I dropped my gaze to my hands and found two wolves, both lifeless. I could see fist-size holes on their chest as though their hearts were both ripped off. The worst part is that I c
"Do we really have to park the car there, Ghino? I mean, not that I'm worried but how are we supposed to get back to New York without a car?" Nathan mentioned he's not worried but the tone of his voice tells me the other way around. He cannot let go of the car when it bestowed us a wonderful memory last night. And it has been rare that Nathan and I could have spent time together as special as last night that was worth remembering. He proposed to me. I disagreed because I have my reasons. But in the end, my heart realized there are no reasons for me to say no despite everything that happened in our lives. Seeing us together putting each other's rings in front of our friends and families was worth imagining. "Didn't you realize we were walking on a rocky and descending surface, Nathan?" My mood last night was completely ruined by Roger and his daughter's appearance. Talking with Nathan was even greatly affected as I just raised my voice at him. "Are you still mad at
"Excuse me?" I asked, somewhat furious and guilty. "What else could it be the other reason we put you in a cage, huh, young wolf?" I immediately pointed my gaze to the ground when she shifted back into her human form. In a few seconds, Nathan, Roger, and his daughter appeared with their hands knotted with chains and were assisted by a bunch of wolves. "So much for the plan, huh?" Roger spit saliva on the ground leaving his sharp gaze on me. Perhaps Nathan has already told him about our other plan that so happened which also failed. "Nathan! What are you gonna do with them?" I tried to remove those chains that were locked up in my hands and ankles but my wolf could not make it. Most of my strengths were used up last night with Nathan. "Apology, but we don't trust your allies, Ghino Frost of the Blue Moon Pack!" She mentioned my name aloud and clear. But how? I haven't introduced myself yet. As far as I could remember, the only one who was introduced earlie
{Nathan's POV} "What do you think of the reason Ghino got separated from us"? Roger impatiently muttered to his daughter. It has been an hour since we got locked up in the cage. The worst part is that my senses could barely reach his scent. "I don't know. Maybe that female alpha is having a pep talk with him. Perhaps she already knew Ghino was lying to her. I mean, what else could be the reason he got separated, right"? his daughter muttered back. "You're right about that, young lady. Because of that, Ghino will be hung to death before the night will end". The female alpha suddenly appeared in front of the cage we were in. "Do you have any last word to your beloved, Ghino, huh, Prince Nathan"? she pointed her gaze at me. I don't have any idea how she knew about my relationship with Ghino. But I know Ghino will not unfold that piece of information to anyone as I did back in the casino which almost cost his life. "What did you do to him? Where is he"? I could sen
"Enemies!" a man's boisterous yell from a distance erupted in the entire village, followed by the continuous howling of wolves telling everyone to prepare. Mixed worries and fears flooded the entire town in a matter of seconds. Despite the injury after fitting my werewolf body through the cage, my feet continued trekking, following the trail where we last saw Ghino. When I got to the cage he was in, he was already gone. And I could barely ask anyone when most of the families hiding in their houses were all scared. They all locked their doors and windows, thinking Victor's wolves or whatever monsters are attacking the village will feel sorry if they will destroy their houses. Whoever suggested that ridiculous idea was completely insane. Their female alpha, perhaps even agreed to that brainless idea. Subsequently, I continued roaming the village with caution. Then, I remembered they once told us that they are going to hang Ghino to death before the sunset. Shit. I s
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
