Amante POV
They hugged each other excitedly, like two long time friends that have not seen each other for a year. I was glad, my wife was happy and having a wonderful time with her friend. We stayed by the balcony where they kept on talking to each other.
I was merely a stranger before them, but I do not envy their closeness. I actually felt relieved that she was enjoying herself. This sight was familiar.
It was Marina and my mate, together and enjoying each other’s company. I used to feel jealous and left out. It was my arrogance, my self proclaimed superiority over everybody else. I was reminded how awful I was with Allyssa back then. “Enough Amante! All was now a part of the past. You should learn from your mistakes but do not take it to the heart. You have to forgive yourself as much as Allyssa forgave you.”
“I agree Amaltheo. All I can do now is to
Amante POVI met Maziar Brennan when I was only six years old. He was often invited by my father, the king together with his Alpha. He was the beta of our neighboring pack, the nearest to our kingdom.When Amaltheo, my spirit wolf appeared early, he was assigned to train me. All I know about fighting came from him. He also became my savior when our kingdom was attacked by the human beings. He brought me to Verte Monde, and both of us became part of Irati Nardus Pack of the winter wolves. We had many wars fought together. I chose him as beta of my acquired kingdom. He was the last thing I have that reminds me of my past, and until the end, I expected him to be an ally. How did he become a traitor?Irna said it started when I met Allyssa. So, most probably, he doesn't know anything about the Andrews, who had been my collaborators for so many years.“He
Amante POVI called on Joaquin and Senyora Luisita. I asked for information about Cape Narciso. I will need the help of Alpha Mayor in my plans.“Cape Narciso? I just heard that place. It was announced on the new in the television that the frequent earthquakes here are due to the periodic volcanic eruptions there. Some have also reported refuge from there last week after the latest eruption.”“The volcano erupted? How strong?”I felt uncomfortable about the news. If it was true, then the pack stationed in there must be in danger. It’s a disaster!“I think just enough to evacuate some people from there. I know there are some who refused to leave. Maybe the situation there was not so bad.”I was silent for a while and don't know what to say. Allyssa held my hand.“Would there some problem, Amante?”
Allyssa POVIt was a gloomy night. The moon was peeking behind the thick and blacken clouds and there were no other celestial bodies on sight. The dark surroundings was eerie to the eyes of the preys scampering away from their hunting predators.There were wolves around. The crow nestling on top of a birch tree that was swaying along with the dancing, cold squalls has its piercing eyes on the pack of ten wolves lurking in the shadows. An adult bison was growling wildly at the center of the chaos.Apparently, the werewolves were in the middle of hunting. Alone against ten salivating predators, the enormous bison fought bravely for its precious life.It attack the wolf at its right side all of a sudden, which caught the assaulted off guard. Its frail body collides against the hard bulk of its attacker. The heavy sound of the impact of the collision shook the ground beneath those two beasts.T
Unknown POVThe ritual was attended by several werewolves in the pack. Some males put the dead animals in the fire as offering while the other packmates howl incessantly to the peeking moon. They look like they were calling for the Moon Goddess herself.The savory scent of the roasting meat of the offerings wafted strongly in the surrounding air. The wind carried up the smoke to the sky. And as if the moon had smell its palatable aroma, it appeared from behind the clouds at its brightest glory.It was an ominous sight for the werewolves. They believe the Moon Goddess accepted their offerings and they howl louder and jovial even more. Everybody participated on the ceremony. Even the Alpha was howling at his loudest in harmony with his packmates. As his sight was on the bright moon, he was mentally praying for the Moon Goddess.“You are the most powerful of all, Moon Goddess. You made us all,
Amante POVWe were invited by Alpha Mayor to stay a day in the island. I asked about the safety of the pack. I heard from Joaquin that the human refuges knew nothing about the werewolves. They thought the village at the base of the mountain was indegenous people and were accustomed to the freak outs of the volcano.The disturbances of the volcano have somehow became advantageous to the werewolves' pack. Ordinary human beings were terrified by the intense disaster that happens several times daily. As of the time we stayed on the island, there were less than a hundred mortals scouring in the area. Those were the people who were studying and observing the temperamental volcano. They pose no threat to the surviving pack.“Alpha King Amante, Luna Allyssa, this is my only son, Kelvin. He is only ten years old but trained enough already. He’s best in combat among the pack warriors and
Amante POVAllyssa’s eyes glows white all of a sudden. Her body trembles hysterically for a moment until she stood frozen on her place between my arms. She feels so cold and the her breathing was frantic. Her exhausted appearance doesn’t seemed to be hers. I first thought she was being exorcised. I have never seen her like this before.“Allyssa, what’s happening? Answer me!”I shake her body to wake her senses up, and I felt relieved when she looked at me like she heard me calling out to her.“Calm down, Amante! I am on a connecting trance with Irna. I can see through her eyes, have the sensation of what she feels, and listen to everything she heard. She’s now being seized by the wereguards at the borders of Verte Monde.”Allyssa held unto my arms and kisses me. I felt a tingling sensation, not the way I felt whenever our bodies touched each other, but it was something chil
Amante POVMaziar fell helplessly on the frozen ground of the Antillia Forest, holding up the lean body of Roman on top of him. Their awkward position made them stacked up with each other for another series of seconds before coming to their senses. They hastily tore each other’s body away from one another and swipe their torsos foolishly as if they were caught on a fire.I could not help but laugh out loud at their fanciful act of embarrassing themselves like fools. I have actually forgotten for a moment there, that I was not on my own body but someone else’s, and it was the female Omega who had committed treason and murdered my gentle Marina.The miserable appearance of Marina’s macerated body flashes inside my mind all of a sudden. I choked on my own breath and that halted my maniacal laugh. Maziar and Roman subsequently glared at me with their piercing eyes. I would hav
Amante POVAfter the mild earthquake that left my wife concerned about the situation of the island, there were several weaker aftershocks. The earth tremor seemed to got tired and rested for a while. Alpha Mayor stood next me, his face were gloomy and I think it was understandable.This place was supposed to be the haven for werewolves like us. Our sustenance of warm-blooded meat from the abundant and dynamic ecosystem of this area was crucial to our comfortable existence more that just for the mere survival of our pathetic lives.We did endure living at the barren, frozen land of Antarctica and depended wholly on the marine animals that were available in the place for more than twenty years. The Irati Nardus Pack grew stronger from there, with the new generation of pups that were trained to survive at the harsh environment. This place, the island of Cape Narciso was our last threshold.Allyssa wa
