Robert Kingston, the leader of the werewolves hunters stood in front of thousands of armies that he gathered for battle. He will be using a few hundreds of these armies for their mission this day.A different kind of pride surged through him as he looked at the fine soldiers that he created. It has been his lifelong dream to be able to have these many soldiers to end the werewolf race. He had that dream since his parents were killed by a pack of rabid werewolves, until it became his obsession.“Today we will go on a mission. A mission that will be recorded in history. Today we will go to war and fight those rabid animals until they go instinct. We will not rest until there was one werewolf standing here in Devonlaire! Are you all with me?”Robert’s voice was so loud and clear and it reverberated in the whole place. His energy today was so high, his hands were itching to kill some werewolves.No, he will not wait for Ember Jacobson to wage against them. He will initiate this war. He ha
All that was left in the once peaceful and lively village was the smell of blood and death. Bodies of the villagers lined on the ground, waiting for their turn to be buried or burned. A huge fire burned at the center of the ground, and bodies were being incinerated. They had no time to bury the bodies, it was too many.The scene was too heart-wrenching and Ember wanted to burst into pure rage. She wanted to get her hands bloodied with those hunter’s blood. All these people ever wanted was to live in peace, away from the cruelty of war and judgment of other people. And this happened, Ember couldn’t accept this. She refused to accept this.Ember stood in front of the burning fire, her heart was with the people of this village. Memories of them happy and alive flashed inside her mind, and one again, her heart was filled with rage at the only culprit to this evil carnage.Ember can still hear the joyous laughter of the children whenever she finds time to read them stories. Her grandmother
At the dungeon in former Alpha Chris’ house.Kean stood there outside of Liam’s cell. He was observing his brother for minutes, in his hand was the key to the cell.Liam has been imprisoned there for days, and the longer he stayed in the dirty dungeon, he became more quiet every single day. In Kean’s perspective, Liam was beginning to be back to his old self. He was not babbling nonsense anymore and his eyes became more focused.Kean had concluded that Veronica really had something to do with what happened to his brother. All he had to do now was to warn Liam about Veronica before he would release him.“What? Are you just gonna stand there and gawk at me forever?” There goes Liam’s insulting attitude. ‘Kean couldn’t help but chuckle at his brother’s remarks. “I guess you’re finally back? Are you just faking this one?” Kean raised his other eyebrow and he crossed his muscular biceps across his chest.Liam was still chained to the wall. The shackles had bruised his wrist at ankles but
Ember was once again back at Yvette’s place. One moment she was in the lake and then the next second, she was already inside her humble home deep in the forest of Derbent.Ember really wondered how Yvette could still do magic despite the fact that she’s already a nightly creature. It is not a secret that a witch her power once she becomes a nightly creature like vampires.‘You can ask me questions if you want.” Yvette glanced at her as she fixed something in the cabinet.Yvette had lent her clothes and she gave her some refreshments, something like a tea but doesn’t taste like one. It tasted good and made her feel warm so Ember didn’t mind drinking the liquid.She sets her half-empty mug on the table in front of her and eyes the witch carefully. She’s still a mystery for Ember. She can’t fathom her.Instead of asking about her powers, Ember asked another question.“You said you will help me, what made you decide that?”Yvette turned to look at Ember, her striking-red were almost pene
Captain Reed of the Rogues of the West was getting ready as he stood in front of the huge gates of the Alpha Corbett’s mansion. Behind Captain Reed was some of his finest men, werewolf warriors that are hard-trained for war.But they were not here at the mansion of the Alpha of Derbent for war. No, they wouldn’t do that. They were here because the wanted to help. Reed had decided already. He will not cower inside his own camp and do nothing while all of the other werewolves in the realm were fighting for their very own lives.“Captain, are you sure this is going to be fine? The guards are one step in attacking us. They all knew who we are and that they consider us outlaws.”Skyele spoke behind him. His voice was a little worried, and Reed understood that.Though they were training every single day to hone their skills into the next level, they knew they have no match to the Alpha’s warriors. And aside from that, they were outnumbered, there were only five of them.Reed shook his head
Tracy and Solana couldn’t shake off their worry towards Ember who was still missing for two days already. They didn’t hear anything from Luna, even a communication from their mind link.They are still in Derbent, training for the newcomers.The people were in chaos. Talks about the upcoming war erupted and the people couldn’t shake the fear that at any moment they would be attacked by hunters and witches. They had been preparing for the worst to come. In addition to their fear, hundreds of soldiers were deployed to every border of Devonlaire, securing the walls that protected the realm.The Lycan King was also on this. It was the capital city Devonlaire who deployed thousands of werewolves armies under the command of the Lycan King.Tracy kept on pacing back and forth in the huge living room of the mansion. Corbett has been very hospitable for letting them stay in his personal house while they still can’t go back to Bresmont.“Hey, don’t worry about Luna Ember. I’m sure she can handl
Liam had no other choice but to appoint his brother, Kean, as temporary Beta of the Pack. He needed to take action. For the first time after so many months that he felt like he was not himself, Liam finally could think straight. He was himself finally. The confusion was totally gone. Then he remembered Ember, and suddenly his heart ached for what happened to her. He did that to her, and considering that she was pregnant with his child. His heart couldn't shake the excitement and dread knowing that she was carrying his heir.He needed to do something so he could help her, and he needed to get to her as soon as possible. Though she’s very capable of saving herself, he still wanted to protect her and their child.“Gather as many soldiers as you could. We will fight alongside the King. We will get ready for the attack of those hunters. If what you said was true, they annihilated a whole village, they would not hesitate to do it to any village. We must prepare.”He was inside his office ta
Robert Kingston had a deep-seated hatred towards all werewolves, but there was one clan of werewolves that he hated the most. Not many knew this but he was from that clan, only that he was being outcast because he was not able to shift when he came to age when werewolves need to shift into their beast form.When his father learned about it, he was reduced to an Omega and became a laughingstock of the whole back, and no one even dared to help him. He was regarded as an abomination, a shame on the bloodline of his father and a curse.That drove Robert to leave the pack, and that's how his story of being a werewolf hunter began.Robert and all his generals were inside the makeshift tent in their temporary camp. They were having a meeting about their initial attack to war. Robert specifically pointed that he wanted to attack Bresmont first, destroy it to the ground before they will proceed the attack all the other districts all at the same time.“I want Bresmont burned to the ground. Leav
Bresmont has been very peaceful ever since Ember came back. Together with the other districts, the center of Devonlaire had also celebrated her comeback.There were no sightings of evil witches or even the remnant werewolf hunters who survived the hunt.Ember couldn’t be more happy now that she’s finally back and she finally met her daughter, Hope. Her heart was filled with joy as she watched her sleeping peacefully in her crib. She resembles her so much in the physical aspect, and she hope she will inherit Liam’s courage and determination.After all, she’s the next ruler of Bresmont, it should only be fitting that she will take from her father.Liam, on the other hand had been so clingy. He was a little bit paranoid when he wouldn’t find her in their bed in the morning and he’s always concern for her safety.“There you are! God, I was looking or you all over the mansion!” Liam exclaimed behind her.Ember couldn’t help but chuckled. She wasn’t expecting Liam to be this clingy. For a b
Asher just stood there, his body unmoving while his mind was still processing what he just saw.“I will explain later. We need to hold the gates, it’s been breached and there are more coming.” Ember uttered, she was frantic. She can feel that there were more bandits coming.But before Asher could even utter a single word, they heard a howl that made everyone stop, including Ember.Ember’s eyes widened in realization. Liam was calling her. Ember could feel his wolf calling into her soul, it was like a pull that she cannot deny.“Liam…” she whispered.And, she saw him. In the sea of crowds, she saw him in his glorious transformed body.When their eyes met, Ember knew that she’s home. She finally found her way home, or home find its way to bring her back.Tears stung her eyes and her throat hurt as she tried to swallow her cries of joy. It’s not time to rejoice but she couldn’t help it.In one swift motion, she ran toward his direction. She cared less about the bandits this time. Call he
Liam and his company were frantic. According to Ursula and Erin, Crumbush was being attacked by the bandits who wanted Ember’s head.His heart hammered inside his chest as he thought of his Luna being surrounded by those thugs. It brought him back to the war that happened a year ago, where Ember sacrificed her life just so their enemies would be defeated.A different kind of pain rushed through his entire being. He will not allow that to happen once again, not when he’s this strong and capable.Air rushed in his lungs as he lunged and avoided trees. He has never run this fast in his entire life. It’s only a matter of time, and one single second that he’s late, it will change anything.They can already see the fire up in the sky a few kilometers away from them. Liam instantly knew what it was.“It has begun,” he murmured as he halted from his tracks and stared at the black smoke that dominated the blue sky.“Alpha, we should continue now.” Liam heard Solana speak into their mind.Liam
Liam put Hope in her crib. She was fast asleep, and though he didn’t want to wake her up he couldn’t help but hold her in his arms before he left Bresmont to find Ember.Hope was a spitting image of her mother. Just by looking at Hope, his urge to find his wife got even stronger. He will do anything to find her and bring her back to their daughter.“I promise you, my little angel. I will bring Mommy back. And you will grow into a fine lady with your mother beside you. We will be whole again, Hope. I promise you that.”He caressed her chubby cheeks and planted one last kiss before he exited her room.Yesterday, Yvette suddenly showed up at their doorstep and told them that she was able to detect Ember’s power.She was able to retrieve her magic sphere from the Lycan King and now, she can locate Ember.When he asked her why she was doing this, she answered that she just wanted to help.“I just want to do something right, at least that’s what I can help for Devonlaire. The whole Devonlai
Asher heard hushed conversation when he neared the kitchen. He slowed down and tried to listen to the topic.It was about Emerald and the other night’s event.He grimaced thinking that it was not a secret anymore. More and more people every day gain knowledge of that incident, and it will not be good for them.“Do you think she’s not human?” One of the servants of the house whispered to the other.“I can’t say that. But given the fact that she killed those six burly men, it’s scary having her around the house. We can’t tell when she’ll attack.”“You’re right, Marishka told me to stay away from her.”“But we really can’t do that since we have jobs to do here in the house.”“I just wished she’ll vanish for good.”“I think she’s a werewolf. According to those who witness, those dead men have huge wounds from a claw. If that’s the case, the Chief should cast her out.”Asher balled his fist. For some reason, he hated hearing those kinds of accusations that were thrown at Emerald. He felt t
Emerald tossed and turned in her bed as blood and cries of agony erupted through the dead of the night.She sobbed while her eyes were closed. She saw it all, the death of these people who became dear to her.She had seen this scenario before. She knew this scene would end up as the worst dream of her life.“No, please….” she moaned in pain and she clasped her palm tightly into the sheets like her survival depended on it. Tears trek down her beautiful face although her eyes were closed and sweat invaded her whole body.She saw everything, Marana was struck with a huge axe on her neck causing her to die in that instant. Asher took a bullet for her and he was hit in different parts of his body. Erin, the poor child cried for help as she witnessed her mother being violated in front of her.“Don’t do this…”Emerald tried to help, but she couldn't touch a thing. This dream was so similar to the one she had a long time ago. And the worst part is, that dream came true, many died and she coul
Kreigstone is a town located outside the walls of Devonlaire. Its inhabitants were all human, and any supernatural beings were forbidden to settle down or even enter the town.People talked in hushed voices, afraid that they might be arrested for talking about the girl in the woods.It’s not a secret that some supernatural activities were happening in their town.Their politicians were furious, the people scared and the outlaws were enraged.At least six people from the other side of the law were killed in that single night, and they were screaming for retaliation.Gasper, one of the outlaws, was drinking his liquor in a torn bar in the most isolated part of the town. He heard people talk and he’s picking up any information that their boss might need.Who was that woman in the woods?His grip on the bottle of beer resting in his hands tightened. He was enraged. One of the victims was his older brother, and he was desperately in need of blood. Red, cold, dirty blood in his hands. And h
The cold water from the shower cascaded Asher’s naked body. He lost count of how long he’s been inside the bathroom. His thoughts flew out of the house and back to what happened in the forest part last night.He closed his eyes and immediately flashes of the scene came to his memory.Gruesome. The smell of metal flew in the air and the stench of death made it even worse.A total of six dead bodies of huge men were scattered everywhere, some were on the ground and others were hung on the tree. Their blood pooled on the forest floor, fertilizing the earth.They arrived at the scene late. Everything happened so fast that when they got there, they didn’t witness how those men died.But based on Marana’s opinion, they all die from blood loss due to the huge wounds they incurred. A wound that only a monster was capable of inflicting.Was it Emerald?He can hardly tell it since he didn’t see the whole thing.The cold water sipped through his body and his bones shivered from the cold.Cursing
It’s the carnival night and Emerald couldn’t get any excited to go there.A huge smile appeared on her beautiful face as she examined how she looked in the mirror.Marana gave her a dress to wear there. It’s a pretty dress with a simple design. It fitted nicely in her body and he smile widened. She can’t wait to go in the carnival. She believed she hasn’t been on one.Marana and her family had been so good to her. Despite the fact that she’s a stranger and they didn’t know where she came from, they still welcome her and treated her like family.She swirl in front of the mirror and her smile widened.“I’m ready.” She left her room and went to find Marana and the rest of the people who wanted to see the carnivval too.Carnival nigths happens every once a month. They travel from town to town. She’s excited to see what’s in there. She has not regain her memory yet and there were a lot of things that confused her, but she’s not giving up.Emerald believed that one day, she will be able to
