CHAPTER 3
Last Updated:
2025-01-22 22:28:11The waning gibbous hung a little too low in the sky, with its silver light cast through the covering of the trees. As an Alpha werewolf, Ryan could feel the power flowing through his body, the adrenaline throbbing in his veins.
The air was thick. With each step he took toward the battle line and the crush of each branch and twig beneath his paws, he was like a different being. His eyes, sharpened by wolf senses, caught the details provided by the moonlit sky and the long illuminated shadows of the large trees around them. He could hear the sudden rustling of leaves and snagging of branches. The echo of sounds disrupted the stillness that once enveloped the forest. This couldn't allow Ryan to revel in the feeling his beast form gave him. Something lurked beyond the reaches of his senses, and his instincts heightened and screamed danger. The smell of blood permeated the air, he could feel his connection to his people waning, and the fear in the air could be tasted.# The tension tightened his muscles, his skin pricked along his spine, and his hair stood on end. The pungent odor of blood and death filled his nostrils as he drew nearer to the clearing where there was an all-out war. Taking a closer look at the assailants, he was stunned. They were back. He didn't have much time to dwell on how what he was looking at was possible. He had to join the fight and protect his people; he crouched low behind a boulder and leaped out, decapitating the creature. He repeated this move and told his pack members to aim for the head. That was their only shot, as any other injuries they inflicted healed instantly. Way faster than the werewolves could heal. This put them in a disadvantageous position, but the creatures couldn't heal from decapitation. *** Walking into the pack house, Ophelia couldn't help recalling the happy memories shared with her friends. Werewolves were voracious eaters, so meal preparations required lots of hands; she would subsequently help the women in the kitchen along with some other young females who would assist. They would discuss their lives and what they had planned for the future. Ophelia was a curious girl who wanted to explore life beyond the park. She wanted to see the world, meet humans, and live like them. The idea of finding a mate and being forced to love him because of some stupid bond did not resonate with her. She wanted to meet someone, get to know them, and decide who she would be with. She wanted to experience the slow natural process of falling in love. She wants to take charge of her life and choose her own fate. She remembered when she and her other teen friends had a sleepover; they huddled cozily in a corner and kept whining about coming of age and finding their mates. She didn't hesitate to give her two cents about wanting to leave the pack and find love on her own terms. The mere mention of that thought made the other girls turn to her in shock. You couldn't possibly mean that Alicia, her closest friend, murmured softly to her. She didn't know what prompted her to say those thoughts out loud. She felt relieved a weight had been lifted off her chest, but with one look around at their wide eyes and shocked faces, she was remorseful about her outburst. They wouldn't understand, would they? How could they possibly understand? She thought to herself they hadn't been in her position. As an Alpha's daughter, she had undergone training from a young age, and all she wanted was the freedom to choose her fate. Where would you go? What would you do? The girls voiced their concerns. You wouldn't be safe without your pack. Who would look after your parents? Who will take over the pack? They bombarded her with questions. "It's not like I'm leaving the pack forever, she deadpanned." She was just tired of the rigid structure she had been forced to live through from the moment she was born. The moment she took her first steps, she started training. She had a fixed schedule and was always in training. This freedom she yearned for was not impulsive; she wanted a chance to write her fate and decide what was hers. She wasn't shirking responsibility; she would never abandon her duties to her people. She was her father's daughter. Her father was a great man, an Alpha respected and loved by the pack. He would lay down his life for his people, and they would do the same for him. They were loyal to a fault, and she wouldn't let his legacy crumble. What she longed for was a chance to choose, an opportunity to change her fate, to follow her own path, and to make choices for herself. She didn't want anyone taking it away from her. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and imagined a life where she could do as she pleased, go where she wanted without restraints, a life where the fate of an entire pack would not eventually be on her shoulder, that's if there would still be a pack after tonight. The whimpers and cries of the injured effectively drew her out of her thoughts; she wanted to participate in the fight she had been training for from a young age, but the only downside was that she had not yet turned. It would be a couple more weeks before she came of age. She was seventeen years old, and all she could do was speak to her wolf and have a link with the pack; they could only turn on their eighteenth birthdays. That was how it was in the werewolf community. Gazing outside the office window, she could see the battle clearly. The vantage point was good. The creatures they faced were fast, leaving afterimages when they moved. She could not tell if she was hallucinating but could swear she saw one of them morph into a wolf. *** After Ryan joined the battle, the tides were in their favor. An Alpha was the most powerful wolf in a pack. An Alpha on the battle line would secure instant victory. They were bigger, faster, and stronger than regular wolves; their dominating presence would scare off any assailants. His presence on the battlefield motivated his warriors; they charged ahead with renewed vigor, pouncing on their assailants and ripping their heads off with their sharp claws and teeth. The organized onslaught of the wolves took their assailants off guard; the strength of an Alpha was not something they had accounted for. The coordination of this pack was something they had not seen in other packs; they looked out for each other, protected each other, and trusted themselves. It was remarkable. The creatures were pushed to the edge, and they did something that stunned the wolves. All who witnessed the scene left their mouths agape in shock, and Lia, watching from the office, was no exception. They shifted into werewolves, the first morphed, and it kept happening around the battlefield. It was a shocking sight. However, it made a lot of sense to Ryan. It finally answered the question that had been on his mind for months. These monsters were half-breeds. "But how?"Related chapters

Gasps of shock could be heard around the battlefield as realization washed over them like a chilling bucket of water. This was the reason they had lost many men. They were dealing with demons, and they were halfbreeds. How could such creatures even exist???So many questions were up in their minds, but there was no time to dwell on those thoughts. A moment of distraction at this juncture would cost them their lives.The tides of battle that were once in favor of the wolves started to turn, the transformation tipping the scales in favor of the half-breeds.After their transformation, the half-breeds didn't hesitate to let out a loud deafening howl, a signal the wolves didn't have to wait long to find out what the howl meant as each wolf was surrounded by three to one. They were prepared; they came in fully ready to raze this pack to the ground. Alpha Ryan was surrounded by ten to one but still managed to hold his ground, a testament that his ability to make his pack the strongest in t

Agitated and out of control, Agatha, one of the women in the bonkers, was resolute and unswerving to join the battle; she felt the telepathic connection with her mate break; her mate was dead. She wouldn't sit by idly and hope that the people that took his life would pay; she was going to ensure she made them pay herself, consequences be damned. She had always been willful and headstrong. She was also one of the pack warriors, and sitting the battle out made her uncomfortable. But she knew the women would need protection if things on the field went south. Losing her mate made her throw caution to the wind; Avery's words didn't register to her. In a different circumstance, she would listen to her Luna, but overwhelmed by grief, there was no room for reasoning. The other women who had lost their mates agreed with Agatha. They had lost their soulmate and did not feel like they had anything left to live for. They were heading out. As if playing a cruel joke on them, the doors to th

The man wasn't in a hurry to kill Ryan; watching the boy fight gave him a strange feeling of satisfaction. He was an impressive fighter, and it brought back memories of his younger days sparring with Ryan's dad. They fought similarly, but that was not at all surprising. Ryan was trained by his father from a very young age. Looking ahead, he saw Avery and smiled menacingly. Her mate didn't neglect training her. It was such a pity that she was just an ordinary wolf. She wouldn't last long. After some time, he grew bored watching the battle and decided to end things quickly. He was a busy man with things to do and places to be. With that thought in mind, he strolled leisurely with his hands in his pocket, humming his tune while approaching Avery. He was going to kill her first before killing Ryan. The rest of the pack would be cannon fodder. *** More chunks of flesh had been removed from Ryan's body, and he was literally moving about with loose skin hanging around his bones, whic

It was early the next day when Ophelia woke up. And she rubbed her eyes groggily. Sleeping on the ground in the woods was not at all comfortable. She woke up and felt sore all over. What was she doing sleeping in the woods? She wondered. The apparent rise of the sun above the horizon was a beautiful sight to behold. However, instead of the usual excited chirping of birds, there was a wake of vultures. She was confused, and her memories were foggy. It took her a moment before the wave of everything that transpired the night before hit her. *** Her father was speaking to the pack when they received news that their borders had been breached. They had been attacked by creatures who could shift: " the half-bloods." How could those things even exist??? She was running into the forest to accomplish a task her father had delegated to her. When she felt the urge to turn around and help, she arrived too late. But early enough to witness the murder of her parents. *** *** Oph

As a lone wolf, she had to tread carefully. Most especially after she crossed over to the region of the eastern border. One wrong move could cost her life.Lone wolves were the wolves that refused to submit to the authority of an alpha, and as a result, these wolves were considered harmful to their packs.As such, they were often kicked out of their packs because of the dangers they possessed. A wolf that wouldn't submit to the alpha was a wolf that would turn against its people, so they would most likely go rogue.Over the years, rogue sightings had been rare; it was almost as if they had vanished off the face of the earth; it was assumed that they had migrated into the human towns and settled there.It was highly probable because lone wolves stayed alone; wolves were social animals, but lone wolves were a different case entirely; they didn't fall into the pack structure and, as a result, weren't bound anywhere.The only problem was that these lone wolves could become feral at any ti

With whatever little power they had, the humans tried to form a resistance. However, they weren't dealing with mere mortals; they were halfbreeds; nothing but decapitation or ripping out their hearts could kill them.Their military crumbled instantly, their weapons and machinery were useless, they didn't even last an hour, and all their forces were destroyed. It was mayhem. They were massacred. The half breeds had numbers on their side and were prepared. The humans were sitting ducks. They were infiltrated long ago. The takeover was easy; it was a well-thought-out and calculated plan. Decades of strategic planning proved its usefulness. It was a sad day for humanity. They had lost their homes, their freedoms, their lives, the people they loved. It was shocking and terrifying. They had to adapt to a life they didn't think was possible; a subservient life of captivity, a life filled with uncertainty and fear of the unknown, the monsters becoming reality.

In modern folklore, the Versipellis were the shapeshifters, otherwise known as werewolves, and the Vrykolakas were the bloodsuckers, now known as vampires.Their long, hard battle that eventually ended in victory did not come without a cost.

In the conference room, Ophelia had been anxiously waiting with everyone in the pack. Her mom, the pack Luna, had ordered the wolves to meet at the conference room as her father, Alpha Ryan, had an important announcement that would impact the pack's well-being.The pack gathered and waited for Ryan to arrive and make his announcement. There was a buzz as the wolves were busy trying to speculate about what the information he had in store for them would be.She was unnerved. She could feel something was wrong but couldn't quite place her finger on it. She swung her legs nervously and looked around with so much unease. She had been quite angsty lately.Ophelia looked in the distance with worry-filled eyes. These attacks had changed everything. They had a happy life, and the attack waves abruptly destroyed the flow of their once vibrant and happy community.Silence fell in the room as Ryan walked in with his Luna beside him.
