{Nathan's POV} A few hours after being unconscious, I found myself in a closed four-walled room with my arms tangled with thick and heavy chains. As tiny as it is, my hands could reach both walls side to side. Aside from that, utter darkness was all my eyes could see in the room. The worst part was that my wolf could barely breathe because of the lack of oxygen in the room. If this kind of uncomfortable situation will last longer, I'm afraid my wolf would take control of my body when sooner or later, my human side will finally give in. So, I tried to stay calm as much as possible. Then, I enhanced my werewolf senses and dragged them heading outside. "What the hell is going on?" One of the prisoners asked in a sleepy tone. "Didn't you hear the deafening sounds of the alarm?" says the other prisoners. "Don't look at me. I don't know either. Just woke up too." "I guessed someone tried to escape. Who could it be?" "Look who's missing?" The cell
"Don't make things hard for you, young prince. It's one against a thousand. Don't you see? This entire prison belongs to me. You may be the prince, wherever you come from, but I am the king of this place." Big Boss announced. The rest of the prisoners with us in the toilet room nodded in unison. But even if they all agreed to the Big Boss' statement, my wolf could not deny the fact that there were parts of them that wanted to detach themselves from his kingdom and will stay in peace inside the penitentiary. "No matter what you can do, you can't defeat me, Nathan. You're just a fucking useless prince. I'm the ruthless king. Three minutes. I'll give you three minutes to clean that up. I'm gonna take a bath after three minutes. If you can't finish that on time, I'm gonna cut off those fingers of yours. Are we clear?" I refused to give my statement from his request. However, my wolf has left no choice. So, I grabbed the mop and bucket of water from the corner and started c
The second my foot landed on the ground, my wolf's sense of smell immediately scented a few corpses all over the place. Some were new while most of them seemed to be forgotten by time and their families. I can also sense their extreme screams, pains, delusions, and begs. The place was completely dark, cold, and dusty. The walls were thick and soundproof, I can tell. Staying in the place longer might make me go mad when I could not sense any sign of happiness inside the tunnel. Everything is madness. As soon as the old man and his friends lit up some fire, the image of the place has gotten into my eyes. It was similar to hell if I have to describe the images. Hundreds, if not thousands, of piled-up human bones are all over the place. "How did you this place existed?" My wolf muttered to the old man as we continued passing through those bones. "Oh. I've been in this place since I was twenty, young man. What do you think how old am I?" he chuckled shortly before he ad
Because the entire place was swallowed by utter darkness, Big Boss and the rest of his watchdogs could barely see my wolf crawling closer to their respective spots. One by one, I dropped their bodies to the ground with their throats widely open or hearts ripped off. Until the one remained standing was the source of my utter madness. "What are you gonna do now, huh, Big Boss?" Unbeknownst to his knowledge, my wolf was talking to him a meter away from each other. "For the record, all your men just joined those skulls around. In due time, their skins will rot until nothing is left but bones." "You can't kill, you monster!" Big Boss forced the sound of his voice to turn into giggles even my wolf could sense his trembling arms and legs while holding his pistol. He kept turning around like a paranoid every time he can hear those tiny footsteps from my wolf shifting places. The worst part was that his pistol was already emptied with bullets. Funny, but the Big Boss wa
"Who said we are leaving Ghino?" Melissa suddenly laughed at me. She even extended her hand closer to me. "You've been through a lot these days, Nathan. You need to rest. Let Ghino do his part. It was part of the plan that he will be left behind." "No. I'd rather stay outside to wait for him. He said something to me that even made my wolf confused." Instead of reaching out to Melissa's hands, I rested my back against the wall of the private plane and waiter for Ghino to arrive. Melissa and Edwin exchanged helpless gazes before Edwin jumped out of the plane and joined me outside. But my restless thought was still locked up to Ghino. At least that was the first information that I know about him; his name. The fact that Melissa and Edwin put a timed bomb in the mouth of the passage, worried me the most what if Ghino could not make it out alive. My wolf still has a few things to ask about what meant by his statement. "Why? What did Ghino tell you before he let you go o
{Ghino'S POV} Part of me wanted to stay in the mansion for at least an hour to make it up for Nathan. Have had a few chit-chats with him since a few things happened between us lately. Not to mention the choosing game between me or Melissa. Yet, the one question that I need to answer is why he choose me instead of his mate. And as far as the news brought me, the two were secretly married before shit begins between us. He could not wait for the scheduled date for their wedding that was supposed to happen in a few days. His sudden decision has even made me completely feel confused. He married Melissa to be his better half, not just his mate. My wolf was pretty sure the surprising wedding is not about his duty as the prince anymore. Nathan has changed a lot since the day I broke up with him. He made up his decision. To mate and marry Melissa not by his duty, but because he realized that he loves Melissa more than me and my wolf. Needless to say, their utter swe
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
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
