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
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
