The next morning, I woke up very late but my entire body was feeling rejuvenated after having a 10-hour straight of sleep. I can sleep more than that since we still have a few days before the start of our classes. When I laid my eyes all over the corners of my apartment, my wolf could not sense my friends' scents. Perhaps they all went out last night after I jumped onto the bed in the middle of their discussion. My body was completely feeling exhausted last night to the point where my wolf did not notice what time everyone disappeared from my apartment. So, I grabbed my old phone since my new one was in Denver's possession. I'm not even sure if Denver was still using the phone or if he has already thrown it away when it was of no use to him. As soon as I got the chance to study the screen of my old phone, I immediately lifted half of my body and made sure I was seeing the right one. My new digits have sent me a few photos. Photos of Nathan and Melissa on one bed,
The call did not just cause my wolf to feel restless and intimated but made me soured my stomach as well. I should have not given Nathan false hopes before the call ended. If I'd disappoint him by not attending to his invitation, it will only prove to Melissa that I am greatly affected. On the other side, if I will grant Nathan's invitation, hearing the announcement will not just possibly hurt my feelings but will bring me a radical embarrassment to the crowd. Still, that was what Melissa wanted to happen. Either of the choices will bestow Melissa with a victorious smile and a wonderful result. Me hating Nathan. Nathan hating me. And everyone will despise me as always. A never-ending rejection. Leaving no choice, I rushed back to the apartment to give myself enough time to consider both choices thoroughly. Though I don't like the sound of the choices, I cannot let Melissa get what he wants. My wolf and I would rather suffer by the truth rather than comfort Nathan
"... May I request Mr Ghino Frost, of the Blue Moon Pack to stand!" Nathan added, even making me feel more uncomfortable. He knew that I don't like being the center of attention from the crowd. But then, he remembers nothing about me. About those endless years of humiliation, disgrace, and resentment that I endured for me to live up to my life. Melissa slightly adjusted her back and leaned against the headrest of her chair since Nathan was blocking her way to me and muttered, "Come on, Ghino. Do what Nathan wants. In the first place, it was all his ideas. I'm not even sure what he was trying to prove." Really, Melissa? Even if you will not say a single word to me, your evil plans were already written throughout your face. She can even dare smile at me as if she was feeling innocent. Meanwhile, the crowd cheered and whooped at me as soon as Nathan forced me to stand up beside him. But my friends have already noticed my awful expression, so they stopped cheering at m
"My daughter is not a doctor to answer your questions, Nathan. Perhaps, you should see an expert doctor to look at it." Vladimir interrupted our serious conversation. "And besides, you have more people to attend to, right, Comadre?" he pointed his gaze to my parents. "Of course, Compadre! Don't worry, our son was still on his right mind. There's no need for him to see an expert doctor. And I know my son still has an announcement to make aside from that helping thing. It's just one part of this program, right, Nathan?" Mum asked back. They were supposed to be in Singapore a few hours ago but they already know that the banquet was not just about Ghino. But how did they know about it? I have told no one, even Melissa, the other news that I am going to announce that evening. And aside from that, since when did my and Melissa's parents become Compadres and Comadres? Are that part of my lost memories too? "Or, let us ask his soon-to-be wife, the Lady Melissa. Perhaps,
So, I studied the atmosphere of the entire mansion. Because Vladimir was the President of Germany, he brought thousands of his security guards, both humans, and wolves. The worst part was that their human allies were also carrying guns and rifles. Undeniably, the huge advantage falls on Vladimir's side and his pack. Even though my wolf could not determine who the wolf is more powerful between dad and Vladimir, with the fact that we were outnumbered, there has less chance we could get out of the mansion alive. That was the reason Vladimir remained his calm wolf since the conflicts aroused. He will not step foot onto someone's territory without enough bullets and manpower. "I cancelled my appointments today in the office because our daughter invited us for a very important announcement last minute early this morning. So, we went right away as requested." Vladimir added. "But I never expect you would accuse us of being a traitor. Kill them!" My wolf was about to n
And my wolf tells me that I missed a lot of things about them. "What happened here? I thought it is a lovely celebration. How come there were many dead bodies all over the place? Is this how packs are meant to unite these days, huh? Well. I'm not aware of it anymore. I've been living in the penitentiary in...." Big Boss drummed his fingertips. "A thousand years? Right, old friends...?" I'm not sure if Vladimir or Melissa also recognized Big Boss since I only met her entire family when we were introduced to each other. But, mum and dad were still stunned and dumbfounded while looking at Big Boss as he kept on talking about their full of betrayal kind of friendship. "What do you want, Big Boss?" I interrupted his long speech when no one at the table dared to open their mouth. Then I reached out to Melissa's hands, giving her the sign to get prepared for the worst battle in history. And I know mum and dad were already aware of the inevitable battle against Big Boss an
"Dad... Let me go!" My wolf exclaimed to the point where I pushed his human body away by force. Did not even realize that the force was already too much when my claws slashed his hangs. "Melissa's dead already, Nathan. We can do nothing about it. It does not matter...," he shifted back into a wolf when two of Big Boss' Russian wolves appeared in front of us. Then, he and mum bumped against their bodies and aimed for their heads. Mum inserted her huge mouth into the wolf's head while dad pulled the wolf's body away, leaving the wolf's head in mum's mouth. It goes to the second wolf. But this time, dad cut off the wolf's feet so he could not fight back before pulling out his head. Then, dad continued leading the way away from those wolves. "It does matter to me, dad. Melissa is my mate and my wife. My wolf needs to give her death the justice she deserves." I strongly insisted. "And how exactly will you do that, huh? Fight Big Boss against your omega's claws and fa
That dad and mum were already aware of their sealed fates at the hands of our enemies. And that they were still trying to protect me even to the last breath of their wolves. "There is a safe exit behind that door." Dad pointed his helpless gaze to the door behind me. "Your mum and I were the only ones who knew about that place. Thousands of bombs and other explosive devices were planted beneath the ground. Always follow the main road. Now, go!" "What? But mum? Dad? Are we really doing this?" I insisted, still skeptical of the idea. It was at this moment the main door of the room was blown away heading in our direction. When the door got open, someone's familiar wolf suddenly appeared. My wolf senses tell me that I'm pretty sure it was not Big Boss. But his wolf's scent was quite familiar to my nose. "It's nice to see you again... Prince Nathan." He pointed his vicious smile at me. "Did you still remember me, huh? I was the one who always clean and put bandages
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
