MARCUS P.O.VIt was five o’clock in the morning when I awoke from sleep. Everything Alicia had told me were still fresh in my memory, I still recall everything she told me about our son. I thought about it and I knew that I had to do something to ease that pain. Of course I was afraid of what would happen if I set my eyes on our boy again but no father was supposed to fear his child, no matter how dangerous he seemed.I looked sideways at Alicia, she was still fast asleep. I could tell she went to bed still feeling upset, I could tell because of the frown on her face. Staring at her I recalled the look on my mother’s face on the day I was banished from Catalina Island. Nothing hurts a mother more than seeing her husband and her child not getting along.I will never let what happened between me and Harold repeat itself in Max and me.“I will resolve this Alicia, I promise,” I said in a whisper. I brushed my hand softly on the side of her hair then moved off from the bed. I wrote a lett
MARCUS P.O.V "Dad," Maxwell called out as soon as his hands slipped from the cliff.I half shape-shifted then hopped off the edge. I reached my hand down to him as I caught his feet. I put my arm around his body and with my other hand I gripped on the rock again.I groaned at the impact of my body on the cliff. The pain was fierce but I held on still. Thanks to my sharp claws I was able to gain balance.I bore the pain a little longer and then I looked at Maxwell whose eyes were full of shock."Dad, you are bleeding," He said.I looked at my dress and I saw the blood stains all over it. I knew that it was terrible, I could feel the pain in my ribcage."Don't worry about me, I'll be fine," I replied him. "Dad I'm sorry, I should have tried harder," He wobbled as if he was engulfed with guilt."No, don't blame yourself. I should have known that you were still too young to do stuff like this," I replied instantly."What do we do now?" he said furrowing his eyebrows in fear."I need you
MARCUS P.O.V "Where are you son? Come on," I whispered gazing around."Dad," I heard someone wail from the distance. I looked around listening to know where the sound was coming from."Dad," the voice came up again and I looked towards the direction the turbulent waters were flowing and spotted him wallowing in the waters while fighting to survive.The waves were sweeping him faster and further away from me. Seeing that, I let go of the rock then went after him. I swam as fast as I could, fighting the waves from taking me further away from him. He kept calling out to me until I finally caught up with him.I took hold of his hand as I pulled him closer. "Don't fight it," I said."What," He yelled, our heads went in and after a while it came out of the waters."Don't fight the waves, just flow with it," I repeated. "I am going to let go of your hand right now." "What, no. Dad no," He said earnestly and our heads went into the waters again.I pulled my head out and there were those pi
MARCUS P.O.V Maxwell stared at me for a while. His eyes kept quivering in fear but I didn’t make a move. I had to test how strong his instinct was.Seeing I wasn't moving he squinted his eyes and still shaky he picked up a rock and a wood from the tide. He threw the rock at me but I didn’t quiver.I kept watching him and after a while he furrowed his eyebrows. "Dad," He said. He frowned then stood up on his feet as he approached me still holding the wood out to defend himself.Seeing still held my position he put the wood down then reached his hand to my hairy fur. He brushed gently then looked Into my eyes.Watching his reaction I recalled the last time I saw this and it was exactly the way Alicia related when she first saw me as a werewolf. Maxwell doesn’t only look like her but he also acts like her."Dad," He said as if he was still confused and just then I ran off heading into the woods. I shape-shifted into a werewolf then walked back out of the woods.I approached him as he h
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
ALICIA P.0.V[Good morning sweetheart,I know that by the time you wake up you will realize that I am gone as is our son Maxwell. You have nothing to fear, we will be fine. 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
