"Gentlemen, I want you to meet my only son, Prince Nathan." Dad eagerly announced to hIs friends. Even dragged his eager smile to each of them, one by one. He could even smile after everything he has done to Ghino earlier. Not to mention we just got an intense debate before I rushed to school. "Your son looks promising as you are, don't you think." One of his friends eagerly stared at me. "I'm not here to get praised, dad." My eyes were locked on him viciously before I poured the bundles of money and Ghino's passport and visa to the ground. Everyone, excluding dad, got surprised about what I had just done. Their eagerness abruptly changed as though their high expectations of me turned to zero. Not to mention they all could sense how furious and deadly my eyes were while standing in front of his friends. "If you wanted to bribe someone with your stupidity, arrogance, and manipulation, Ghino is not the type of wolf who would buy them. Nice try... Dad!" I added.
Leaving no choice, I went back to the mansion with a heavy heart as though the world's problem had befallen me. Heavy enough my legs have lost their strength to walk forward. My arms got numbed to the point that I can't hold onto something. Lost the courage to face the world. Part of me wanted to just disappear and never come back. Without Ghino in my life, my world will be deserted. Colourless. Useless. And the worst of all, my wolf was similar to a corpse. As I was about to step into my room, Mum greeted me with a hard slap. But, on the bright side, my face could barely feel pain anymore. The numbness of my body had already consumed my feelings to feel something. "Is that all you could have, mum? I know you can do better than that." I declared. There goes my second slap from her. This time, my face got a slash from her fingernails. Still, the blood just dropped to my cheek and felt nothing. Maybe it's for the best. "Because of that bastard, you learned how to
As soon as Melissa and I settled inside my Lamborghini, I waited for dad's car to head out of the mansion first before I started the engine. "Do you mind if I ask what you guys discussed earlier before I showed up?" I was supposed to ignore it but, in some ways, part of me wanted to know. My wolf might have a few thoughts being stored in my brain about the possibilities. However, I had to make sure from Melissa herself. "Nothing, in particular, Nathan. Why do you ask? Do you expect your parents and I should discuss about?" Melissa defensively said back as she fastened her seatbelt. How could she consider it nothing in particular when I just witnessed the three of them laughing in unison? The worst part was that they stopped talking and gave me those guilty looks when they saw me approaching. "Nothing. It's just, that I noticed the three of you shared the same laugh and thoughts earlier. So, I was thinking if you told them about our wedding tomorrow." Could not
But no matter how hard I try reinstating the name who to be my better half, reality proves to me one thing that it will always be Melissa who was standing in front of me devoted to being my wife from that day forward, in sorrow and joy, to have and to hold, as long as we both shall live. Right after exchanging our vows, Melissa and I immediately went to the resort owned by my parents to extend our wedding celebration. Our honeymoon state. That night was a do-or-die choice for me. Ghino already chose his decision to break up with the ones he believed love exists. And I choose to be with Melissa for his sake. In addition to that, our honeymoon was inevitable. There was nothing more to tell about it in detail but it happened as part of the ceremony. Needless to say, I cheated on Ghino. "Are we doing the right thing, Nathan?" Melissa muttered as I was caressing her shoulder while we were lying on the same bed, still naked. "This is the right thing, Melissa. We both hav
"So, what do you suggest?" I need options. Could not just let that man, whoever he is, kidnap Melissa. I dragged my furious gaze back to the manager for not making his job properly. "If anything bad will happens to Melissa, it's on you, Mr. Manager." "I'm so sorry, Prince Nathan., he said in a worried tone. "I highly suggest you should communicate with the higher ops about the case, Prince Nathan." The IT Staff grabbed a piece of paper and pen and jotted down something. Afterward, he handed over the piece of paper to me and paused the CCTV Footage. "That's the description of the car and plate number the kidnapper used. Below it was the Sheriff's digits that could help you expedite the searching," he added. "Inside of this flash drive is also the copy of the footage for the cops' reference." "Thank you so much." I clapped his shoulder before I went back to the car. After talking to the Sheriff over the phone, I rushed to the precinct to explain everything t
"What do you want?" I cleared up my mind, setting aside everything from me; anger, hatred, exhaustion, and pride. Two wolves that were somehow labeled the most important beings were currently in the middle of uncertainties. The one that owns my heart and promised a forever. And the one whom I chose to mate and marry in order to uphold the dynasty my parents built for me. Meanwhile, Nadine and Edwin were all ears to the person talking with me over the phone. Though they might have pictures of what was completely going on, I still have no plan to involve either of them. The case was a bit risky for them. Let alone it already involves kidnapping and torturing. The three of them were valuable enough for Ghino. At least, if we are not on good terms anymore, he still has his friends to look out for him. "Let us know what we can do, Prince Nathan. Ghino's our friend too." Edwin said right away after the call ended. "Wait... You guys hear their conversations, right?"
My wolf exerted much of my strengths and power, trying to remove the ropes and chains they tied on my arms and legs. My wolf wanted to rip off the man's heart out of his chest when I could barely sense any lies in his words. Sadly, the more strength my wolf wielded, the weakened my body could get. When I dropped my gaze to the floor, I suddenly realized I was surrounded by wolfsbane and powder of mountain ash. As far as my knowledge is concerned, they were discovered to be two of our wolf's weaknesses. I don't know how long my wolf has been unconscious but with the lost strength in my body, I can assume that I've been out longer than my wolf expected. No wonder my wolf could barely untie the ropes and chains out of my arms and legs no matter how hard I tried. "Oh. There you are. Did you have a good night's sleep, Prince Nathan?" I quickly lifted my head to the man who just appeared in the room. He was holding a cam recorder and was pointing at me. "Denver?" I i
"Aside from loving the wrong person? I did not steal from someone or kill anyone. I'm not even sure what am I doing in this place." I breathed out my frustration to the man. Despite the utter frustration, I only get a vicious laugh from him and said, "it's all right to lie, son. I'm just trying to make real conversation here. But, let me give you this piece of advice, son. No matter what they do to you, especially the big boss, endure it. In that way, you'll live longer in this place like me." "I'm not lying. Someone kidnapped me and then dropped my body in this place. Where am I? What country is this?" "Welcome to Russia, my friend. The worst penitentiary has ever written in the world's history." He continued sipping the cigarette. Even blows the smoke right through my face. Then he offered the used cigarette to me but I refused. Smoking would be the last thing my wolf would do as my hobby. Its content will only kill my wolf sooner. "Russia?" He nodded. "I don't know if you're o
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
