MARCUS P.O.VIt was sunset in the evening and we had a few guests. They were familiar faces and thankfully everyone was aware that I was a werewolf.I knew it would please Alicia so I invited Katherine and Kelvin over but unfortunately Katherine was the only one who showed up. She said Kelvin couldn't make it because he was engaged.I knew it was more than an engagement. I knew he was upset that even despite his attempts to tear us apart we still ended up together.The few people that were present were Stiles, Katherine and Tyler. We were all seated together at the dining table while Emily served the dishes. While having fun we heard the sound of the doorbell."Are we expecting any other visitors?" Alicia asked."Let me check, perhaps it could be Kelvin," Katherine said. Getting on her feet she left for the door. I heard a male voice which sounded familiar and unfortunately when I looked I saw that it was Flynn and Rina.I knew that I had invited them but I didn't know they would make
MARCUS P.O.V This wasn’t good, I knew that Stiles knew about my kind but I was not sure if he knew as much as I thought he knew. The sudden burst of smile over Alicia’s face showed that she was enjoying it.If Stiles doesn't meet Flynn's standards he could feel unqualified to accept my proposal to stand by me as a part of my pack."First question," Flynn mused, staring at Stiles like he was searching for something he couldn't figure out. "How does mating start in werewolves?" "It starts when the werewolf finds and imprints on another werewolf," Stiles answered promptly."Nailed it!" Rina exclaimed and we all laughed."That was simple but I assure you that you won't like the second one.""Let's hear it," Stiles said."Okay. We both know that vampires and werewolves are dreadful enemies but I'd like to know how vampires and werewolves can interbreed?" "There is no mystery to it because you just gave the answer. Despite their differences they can both relate with each other. A hybrid
ALICIA'S P.O.V Throughout the ride I kept thinking about what it will feel like when the moon rises. Before now it all seemed like superhuman beings were a fantasy but at this moment I will not be witnessing one turn but I will be the one feeling those hurting twirls.I could feel the cool evening breeze creep on my skin while staring out through the open car window. The night sky was filled with countless stars. It was a perfect day after all.I am scared but at least it's better that this time I won't be dealing with death. It could be that shape-shifting has a more painful process but if that is what could guarantee the safety of my child then going through those hurting flames would not be as bad as I think.Lost in my thoughts I felt Marcus's warm palm around mine. I turned to meet his stare."Are you nervous?" "No, I'm frightened," I replied."I know, but It will pass," He said."I don't feel like I am strong enough to handle the pain," I said to him and he patted my hands ge
ALICIA P.O.V“Alicia, you have to calm down, it’s me, it’s Marcus,” he said demonstrating with his hands but to me none of that mattered. I knew that I wasn’t thinking straight but I couldn’t control the urge either.It was so strong, that great desire to rip a flesh apart was greater than my sense of reasoning at this point. For a while, I couldn’t grasp anything he was saying, all I could see was the movement of his lips but they were all idle to me.Staring at him, my nose picked up another strong scent close by. The urge became stronger and with a sharp grumble I ran after the scent. I knew that it was the scent of a human and even though this time it wasn’t Rina, the urge to kill didn’t fade.I heard rumblings behind me but I didn’t flicker. I kept my paws moving until I arrived at a cliff and just some meters away I spotted two couples and their little girl seated on the grass outside a tent.I didn't know much about them except that they looked as if they came camping but it sti
MARCUS P.O.V I am willing to bear the responsibility for what I did some years ago. It didn’t seem pleasant and it could steer up another complication but this was the right time to do it and with Alicia by my side, I am sure that everything was going to be fine.However that was not what concerned me the most. Something weird happened when I howled last night, something that I didn’t know how to tell Alicia. "Alicia, I have something to show you?" I said."What's that?" she asked."I can't explain it but you have to see it for yourself. Come with me," I said. I led her to a spare room inside our house. We walked inside as I approached Kelvin who was lying unconscious on the bed."Marcus… What is Kelvin doing here and why is he looking like that?" She asked.I heaved a sharp sigh then turned to her. "Remember when I told you that the howl of an Alpha attracts his pack?""Yes, I do," She answered."It turned out that when I howled last night it attracted Kelvin." "What do you mean?"
MARCUS P.O.VThe silence persisted for a while. I could tell that Stiles departure was something Alicia and I never wanted but I knew that it was for the best. "What's the reason for the silence? We didn't lose anyone and I could always come visiting," Stiles said. "I know," Alicia answered, taking up her fork again. "It's a pity because I was only getting to know you better," She said."Marcus, knows me well," He said. "While you were trying to have your child, we were busy committing some hurtful crimes." "That's right, he was a good sidekick," I said and Immediately after my comment we heard a knock on the door. At the sudden sound on the door, the place went ice cold and we all stopped eating."Are we expecting a visitor?" Alicia asked me."No, we are not," I answered and looking at their faces none of them had invited anyone either. "I'll go check it out," I said, dropping my fork on the table as I left for the door.I looked through the CCTV camera but there was no one there.
MARCUS P.O.V Now we had another enemy on our trail. It was even terrible because he was not an outsider but it was a memento member of my pack, and someone we considered family."I'm sorry for that. My brother can be anything but I don't think he is capable of taking the life of anyone," Katherine apologized on behalf of Kalvin."That is no longer the brother you know," I said to Katherine as she gave me an uncertain look. "He has killed someone and he meant what he said." "That can't be true," Katherine replied instantly. "I saw his eyes, Katherine. They were blue instead of gold. The funny thing about werewolves is that you can tell if this had killed someone before or not. The eyes of the innocent ones are always gold but when they take a life their eyes turn blue," I said."No, that can't be true," Katherine said, shaking her head in disbelief. I could smell fear engulf her. I knew that she was afraid of starting a war with her own brother."No one is blaming your brother for w
MARCUS P.O.V The reason Mark called for a police artist was obvious. He needed a sketch of the beast the witness saw. If the witness gives an accurate sketch then that would be another big win for the cops, however it's unfortunate that the witness has no idea how much trouble he was getting himself into.Werewolves are eager to execute anyone who they consider a threat and it didn’t matter whether their victim was still a threat or not. "Oh, and look who we have here…. Marcus Dominick," I turned to see who raised the alarm and unfortunately it was Sharma Atluri, the Detective from India. His cheerful smile creeped me out. I didn’t know if his greeting was a sign of peace or if he was only another opportunity for new discovery. The last time we had a conversation, it didn't end well.I still recall the words and his suspicions that the culprit of these crimes could also be part of the investigation. That was a clear message to me and I wonder if he had found anything yet."Marcus,
