MARCUS P.O.V

At my slight diversion the first lioness launched an attack. I swung my palm and the impact threw it towards another end.

I grumbled and with aggression I played the offensive. I caught one of them and squashed the lioness under my large paws as I ripped off her gut.

They all pounced on me with fierce bight. I groaned aloud in pain, throwing my hand back and forth until finally I caught one of them.

I fastened my claws into the lioness' back and when she lost hold of my skin I pulled her down to the floor with a fatal punch.

The battle went on and on as our roar and groaning echoed in the forest under the night sky. I persevered enduring the pain until one after another I took them all down, ripping their gut out and breaking their neck.

Breaking the neck of the last one of them I looked around to ensure we were safe. When I could no longer sense danger I turned back to the tree to see Maxwell coming down.

Some minutes later we arrived at our tent on the shore with the a

    MARCUS P.O.VI recognized the four men which compassed me, they were no mortal. They were werewolves and not just any werewolf but werewolves from my father’s pack.I frowned as soon as I set my eyes on them. I recognized them, all four of them were trained by Gaius the werewolf who trained me and also well known as the strongest among the Gamma werewolves.I knew how strong these four are, we were the first sect of werewolves Gaius trained alongside with Ronald and Wilfred but it turned out to be that Ronald and Wilfred loved and were more loyal to me than these four.“Have Harold sent you to complete the work that he didn’t finish on the day he banished me away from the pack?” I said but at alert in case they decide to attack.“Marcus, we are not here to negotiate or talk trash, we are here to do business and we are not going to return to the Alpha without your head in a charger,” one of the four said.“Yes, I know you well, we were all trained together so I know how deadly you can

    MARCUS P.O.V“Who else did you come here with?” the cab driver asked.“You want to know the truth; well I'll tell you what happened. I came camping with my father and during our stay where we were attacked by a group of assassins. My father was killed while trying to protect me from them,” Maxwell said.‘Shit, why did you mention my name?’ I thought to myself restlessly while watching him. I could still hear the paws of the werewolves approaching. There was no more time left. I was about to intervene when I saw Maxwell reach my phone out to the cabdriver.“This is the proof that I was here with my father,” Max said and the cabdriver received the phone from him. “Sir, I don’t have time, the people who attacked my father will still be after me, just take me out of here. I will call my mom and she will pick me up. We don’t have much time to waste sir, please.”‘Brilliant, son… brilliant,’ I thought to myself. The cab driver handed the phone back to Max and they both got into the car quic

I am sorry for everything that happened last night, I am sorry that our son had to figure out things the way he did. I promise to resolve this so I’m taking him out for a day trip. We are going hiking in the mountains and I will explain everything to him there.Please don’t call or come looking for us. I promise to return him in one piece after a day and if we spend another day then know that is what he wants but we won’t stay for anything more than two days. Even if you don’t do this for me, do it for our son, do it for Maxwell.From your husband and mate who loves you with all his heart, Marcus Dominick.]“Of course I would do it for you stupid,” I whispered sadly as I pressed the letter Marcus wrote me close to my chest. I was scared to be distant from Maxwell but I knew Marcus will protect him, he is in safe han

    ALICIA'S P.O.V"Maxwell, Max," I called his name twice as I went on my knees holding him firmly on the shoulders."Mom, where is the help you called for?" Maxwell asked."They are on their way here. You have nothing to worry about, I am sure nothing will happen to your dad, I will bring him back," I replied."It's already too late," He interrupted. "What, no, help is coming," I tried to convince him."Mom you have to trust me, dad will be dead by the time we get there if you don't listen to me," he said."Come on sweetheart, why do you say something like that?" I said."That's because I've seen it," He replied and his eyes drifted away from me. I observed his eyes but they were lost from the surroundings. "I saw dad holding one of them in his arms, while mourning. Even when he tried to save the second one he died leaving dad alone with the four…" "Ronlad and Wilfred," I muttered in fear. I knew that the two persons Max was talking about are Ronald and Wilfred."Stay here Maxwell, I

    MARCUS P.O.V It had finished raining but the weather still looked moist like there would be an extra wave. Even the skies knew that these were dark times. This time I won't flee, I won't turn a blind eye to Luther's treachery, not after his hands were soaked with the blood of my father and that of my mother."Marcus, you have to come with us, you have to remain your place as the Alpha. Your people need you, we need you," Ronald said."They need me?" I turned around to him with a frown on my face. "They were the same people that chased me down the mountains and pushed me off the cliff and now they need me." Ronald looked away immediately after my statement, I saw the same look of regret in Wilfred’s eyes."If they needed me that much, why did they send assassins after me?" I asked."This was not the doing of the people. It's all Luther's doing. A pack will only follow what their leader asks of them. Luther had blinded their eyes so you must make them see again," Ronald said but I tur

    MARCUS P.O.VIt took one hour before we arrived on shore. Walking out of the ship, I was greeted by the sounds of laughter and celebration coming from all over the environment. It looked exactly like the Catalina Island I knew. A place where people almost don't sleep. It was obviously because not all of them are human.The cold evening breeze blew across me and right there was that scent. The fragrance of home, only that mixed with the corruption that spread throughout the atmosphere terror grasped me."Marcus, we have to go," Wilfred said. I glanced back at the civilians who were unloading their stuff from the ship. They were all going to make merry with their families and sneak into their brick houses. None of them is aware of the fierce battle that will range in the mountains very far away from here.I lifted my eyes towards the west. I started towards that direction where in the mountains lay, and also the secret of another life, the secret of the existence of other beings, beings

    MARCUS P.O.V "What is the issue?" Ronald asked when he approached me outside. "I am not cut out for this. I have to take down Luther and that young man in there is getting on my nerves," I said.Ronald lifted his eyebrows as he looked away from me. "What is worse than a person losing his own sister?" "I lost both my parents too." "Yet you are going to take revenge against them but as for this young man, we were the ones who murdered his sister and he doesn't even know about it," Ronald whispered a little upset. I furrowed my eyebrows in uncertainty. "I thought you said he knows everything." "I said that so you can let us have things our way," Ronald answered. "He only knows we are connected to what happened that day. He suspects us so for us to reduce his suspicions we had to promise to help him find who murdered his sister." I ran my hand through my hair as soon as I heard that. It all made sense now. "You have to trust us on this. We know we have to stop Luther but we must f

    MARCUS P.O.V In order to redeem some time we all transformed into a werewolf as he raced heading to the pack cave. It took several minutes and finally we arrived.I shape-shifted back to my human form as I watched from behind the rocks with Wilfred and Ronald. "Things have changed since my last visit here," I whispered, while staring at the few werewolves who were keeping watch at the entrance."Yes, Luther’s rule is terrible. Everyone in the pack knows but no one dared speak against him openly because they were all afraid," Wilfred answered."We can't go in head on, we have to look for a safer passage," Ronald glanced sideways at me."You are right, but this cave doesn't have any safer passageway. We will have to take down the watchers," I replied."How do we do that? Should we kill them?" Ronald asked."No, they are still members of our tribe so all we have to do is knock them out. Luther is the only person I want," I replied."Okay, what's your plan?" Wilfred said."We will have

Zoey asked."No, I haven't really thought about it lately," he replied."Hold on, are you…" "Don't even complete that statement," Maxwell interrupted Zoey. "I've been occupied with other things and I am sure the right time will come." The place was silent for a while. "I'm sorry, I almost forgot how hard it is when viewing the world from your eyes. It must have been dark," Zoey said."It was, but thanks to my parents who gleamed light on me," Maxwell replied. "We haven't told you yet but finding a partner for Maxwell isn't as easy as it is for you if not he would have found one by now," I said.

Alicia, Maxwell and Stiles were also with me.We went upstairs as we walked through a fancy door which opened up to a large and furnished room. There was a large round table at the center of the room and an elderly man was seated on one of the chairs.“Mr. Lucas, your guests have arrived,” the man who brought us in announced.Lucas’ eyes lit the moment he saw us. “Oh, please take a seat,” he said with a cheerful smile on his face and we all did. “This must be your beautiful wife Alicia Lindsey.”“Yes, she is,” I replied then furrowed my eyebrows in uncertainty. “How did you know?” I asked.He lifts his eyebrows. “Well, news flies these days, especially giv

    ALICIA P.O.VIt hurts so much to think I was wrong but it hurts even more to give up trying. I had always fought to have even if it was a moment with my son but now at the verge of losing everything I realized I had made a terrible mistake.I saw his deadly fangs above me; they were ready to rip off my bones. His claws were more painful than anything I had ever felt. I had lost him to the darkness. All these could have been avoided if not for my greed. If I had sacrificed him earlier, I would have been able to save everyone.I was about to take my last breath when I heard a clash. I opened my eyes and Maxwell was off me. I looked sideways to see Marcus struggling to hold him back from getting to me.‘No,’ I thought to myself as I transformed into a human. I struggled on my feet. If anyone had to die while trying to stop him then it would be me.“Maxwell, stop please,” I yelled but my voice ended in a whisper. While approaching, I watched Maxwell hit Marcus severally until he returned

    MARCUS P.O.VFinally it’s time, the dark clouds had covered the sky and it was only thirty minutes before the blood moon rises. We were all in the woods, far deep into the island and as far away as possible from the main city.There were a lot of us. Alicia and I were only standing about ten feet away from Maxwell while Ronald, Wilfred and Flynn were chaining him to the trees. We found the best spot in the forest with the largest trees and we also used multiple large iron chains in hopes that they will be able to hold him until his transformation is complete.I could already see Maxwell’s beastly eyes as he kept glaring at us.“Ronald, hurry up,” I said.“It’s almost ready,” he answered and after a while they both returned to where I was standing.“Max, you have to stay calm, you can do this,” Alicia said.“No, I can’t,” Maxwell replied. “Save me, please… Mom,” he called out.I held her back when she was about to take a step. She looked at me and I wagged my head gently."Dad, why are

Thus time Aracely won't be the one coming to me, I would be meeting her myself."Aracely!" I called as soon as I arrived at her secret grounds."Marcus," I heard her voice behind and I turned to see her standing just three feet away. "What are you doing, you should not be here." "I need answers, Aracely. Enough of the preamble… tell me what I should expect tomorrow," I said."I have already told you everything you have to know. Tomorrow will crown his fate and the chance he will be good is slim, it might not work so you must be prepared," She replied."No, let me look at it myself," I said."That has never happened since the history of Alpha’s, you cannot use that sacred tool," She said.“It doesn’t matter now. If my son falls into the darkness he will destroy you and burn down this place and there will be nothing left…”“Enough! Marcus,” she interrupted me. “You have a

As we all know today is my birthday and I am entirely grateful to all of you for being here but most especially to my awesome parents Mr and Mrs Dominick. They have always stood by me all through, most especially my mother Alicia Dominick…”I heaved a sigh as I closed my eyes in disappointment at the last sentence he made. I looked at Alicia and I could see the huge smile over her face. I could tell that she was enjoying it. I thought I was Maxwell’s favourite but it ended up being her.“Most especially your mother, huh,” I chuckled, then looked back at the stage.“I am grateful that despite the challenges she was tough enough to face it and determined to hold on to me until the end, even if it could have killed her. When everyone gave up on me she persisted. I love you so much mom and I will love you until the end

    MARCUS P.O.VI walked inside the building while holding Alicia’s hand. The hall was filled up with both humans and werewolves as rock music filled the air. There was no strange pack present; I made sure that the sentinels never allowed any werewolf from another tribe to venture into the island.Everything was coordinated just like it should be and I trusted my pack to be great at blending in with the humans without causing any arousal, and that was all thanks to my late parents who taught them well.“Marcus, look who showed up,” Alicia said. I looked only to see that it was Katherine. I saw the excitement over Alicia’s face.“Will she be a burden to you?” I asked.“Are you kidding me,” Alicia said with a frown on her face.“Sorry, I was only joking, go on, go and have fun with your friend, I will keep an eye on things,” I said to her.“Okay, please watch Max but don’t spy on him,” she said.“Yes ma’am, but you know that they both mean the same thing…” I was yet to complete my statemen

However, he Still assumed his position as the Alpha of his father's pack.He wasn't the only ruler of the pack since I was ruling beside him. To me it all seemed like a dream. And when speaking of a dream I am talking about the story of a feeble human who fell in love with a charming beast, a mortal chased and hunted by a pack for years was now ruling as Luna of the same pack that tried to kill her.Now the feeble mortal is known as the most revered Luna since the history of the Dominik's pack. And not just that, but far stronger than any Luna who had ever ruled beside the Alpha.Looking back from where I am I was grateful for everything that I had gone through. All my efforts were worth it and even my son, the one they say will doom the world had the most charms than anyone else.I was not only glad to have him but I am al

I couldn’t understand the level of pain the old lady was going through but could only imagine it. Even right now I feel sorry and indebted to her.The dark cloud had already covered the sky when Meredith escorted us out of the house. She wrapped her blanket around her body to protect her from the cold breeze and by the time we arrived at our car she looked down at Maxwell. “Thank you for showing me what you showed me earlier. It felt good to see her face again,” she said to him.“You are welcome ma’am. I know you needed it,” Maxwell replied.Hearing that got me curious but I guessed it was best that I don’t ask. I was okay as long as whatever he showed Meredith made her see things differently.“Guys, I think we have company,” Ronald alarmed us. I looked to see who he was speaking of and from the distance I saw a young man approaching with a bottle of drink in his hand.“Daniel... Ma
