A few minutes later, Ghino and I jumped into the window of his apartment. After that, we slid to our respective wardrobes to get some clothes. "Ghino, we need to talk about the old man earlier," I muttered right after putting some clothes on. "I'm already tired. Not now. And besides, I'm still not talking to you, Nathan." Ghino said back. After putting some clothes on, we jumped onto the bed in unison. However, without saying another word, Ghino immediately grabbed his pillows and blanket and plummeted to the floor. "Come on, Ghino. Don't make this hard for me, will you? I'm not your enemy here." I insisted before I dropped my butt on the edge of the bed, facing his direction. When I got the chance to land my foot on the floor, I realized it was freezing. And Ghino has plans to sleep on the floor, endure the freezing temperature, and ignore the uncomfortable situation just to stay away from me. "Just go to sleep, Nathan. It's already late. We still have our cl
In the morning, Ghino and I woke up earlier to get prepared for school. Without telling him, I also decided to spend the rest of my remaining days with him to have stored and equipped good memories before we separated ways. I don't know what will lies ahead of me after getting mated with Vladimir's daughter. A deal is a deal. And it was inevitable already. But that doesn't mean I will lose my hopes Ghino and I could have ended this way. "Nathan, did you just hug me last night?" Out of nowhere, Ghino asked me on our way to the school. Even in front of a few people with us on the bus. Since I don't have my Lamborghini anymore, Ghino and I used to ride a bus in and out of the school. Even if I'm not used to that kind of transportation, I left no choice. However, I kinda find it delightful seeing and meeting a few humans coming from different places and races fitting the entire space of the bus. "A-what?" I muttered in a startling tone as I rolled my eyes and dragge
"And what do you think Ghino would feel when you killed another student, huh?" Lackey furiously asserted back. Similar to me, Lackey was also catching up his breath as we rushed into the woods at the speed of light. We were supposed to have our remaining two subjects in the afternoon but we ended up in the middle of the woods, full of sweat. Ghino and I were supposed to have a better day but everything changed to blemish when we separated ways. That is why I hate being away from Ghino. I can't control my ugliness if I'm not with him. If I keep myself alongside him or at least in just a few meter distance between us, he always cools off my temper. It's not just my wolf will chicken out but my entire strength and power will perish as if he pulled it down to the ground so I could not get access to them. "And what does Ghino has to do with it, huh?" Could not help but ask. "Don't you dare include him in my mess, Lackey? The man did nothing to both of you." Johns
Later that evening, my friends and I first went to our locker rooms to change our clothes before we will head on to Ghino's invitation. When I checked out my phone, I was confused when I haven't gotten any message from Ghino about the name of the restaurant or even the address. So, I reached out to his digits to do a follow-up. Before I dialled his digits, I slapped my face once first. Hard enough I felt the extreme pain as soon as my large palm landed on my face to check if what happened earlier was just a dream or hallucination. But the last time I remember was when Ghino and his friends went to the field and invited us for dinner to celebrate their successful midterm exams. He was there. I could not hold onto my feelings so I smiled and slid closer to him. And I know it was real when that feeling still lingered in every piece of my nerves, heart, body, and soul. My wolf could even support the idea. "Nathan? Party at King's eight tonight. Maybe you should join u
"What does his change of mood have to do with King's IG?" Johnson asked on behalf of my thought. That's what I thought as well. I'm not into social media accounts as all I could see were people posting their daily lives. Don't have Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter accounts. And I have no plans on having either of them as I have no time to tell the entire world about what's going on in my life, especially when I have a darker secret aside from being a wolf; the soft side of me. The side of me whom Ghino's and my closest friends know about it. "Yes. What did King post that changed his mind?" Lackey seconded in motion. "Where you guys have brains? Or at least being updated on what was going on around us?" Jackson inhaled deeply before he explained, "King posted on his IG account about his party. Even mentioned the Prince's name to be one of the VIP guests. And millions of comments immediately flooded the posts. Most were Nathan's admirers. They love to score with him if gi
"Then you better not join the game if you could not dare do it, Nathan. That's too simple." Ghino snatched the empty bottle from Johnson and ordered everyone who would love to join to gather around. As soon as everyone, excluding me, gathered around, Ghino started spinning the bottle. At first, the tip of the bottle was pointed to Lackey. Lackey said dare instead of truth. Everyone then ordered him to drink the entire content of a bottled beer in just ten seconds or less than that. Without further ado, Lackey immediately grabbed a bottle of beer and drinks it. Everyone cheered, chanting in unison. And then the entire game started to heat up when Lackey drank the entire bottle for six seconds. So, Ghino started spinning the bottle for the second time around. This time, it goes to Ghino himself. Before they asked something, all their eyes were dragged on me as if whatever that comes to their minds had something to do with me. "Truth," Ghino said quickly. "If give
{Present day and time: Ten hours later} After a few minutes of staring at Ghino's meekly face, I suddenly realized there were a few people, no, they're wolves, patiently standing in front of the door. I don't know how long they have been standing there but their scents were telling me isn't a good thing. So, I gently crawled out of the bed so Ghino and the rest won't wake up and slid to the doorstep. I first studied the environment from the outside before I dragged my worried gaze back to Ghino and our friends who were unaware of what was going on. "We are not here for trouble, Prince Nathan. Go with us peacefully if you don't want anything bad to happen." A man's voice suddenly reverberated in my ears as I leaned it against the wall of the door. I could barely recognize any of them outside. And around ten wolves were standing in front of the door, two in front of the elevator, and hundreds with the same aura waiting outside the building. Who are they? And what
As soon as we hopped out of the car, boisterous cheering and whooping greeted us. Melissa, on the other hand, kept holding my hands on our way to the main house to make sure everything goes according to their plan. To tell everyone our mating is inevitable. My plan? I don't know yet. Don't have one either. I can't think straight at the moment when my body still feels exhausted and my head was still spinning. "There goes my son, our little prince!" Dad and mum greeted us with a hug. That was the first time they kissed my cheeks for a very long time. Can't remember when was the last time they did that to me. If not because I was about to get mated, they will certainly ignore me for the rest of my life. The last time I checked, my accounts were still frozen until now. That simply means they don't have the plan to give back my access to my funds. Perhaps they already know about my debt. Or not, hopefully. "Nice to meet you again, Prince Nathan." Vladimir stretched out
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
