Narrator’s POV
Mikaela’s dead. But her husband could not even wail for her. There were still four wolves and he’s surrounded.
Detective Andrews was beyond angered. He felt nothing but disgust to these beasts. He aimed at the nearest wolf but was pushed back by another. He was sent flying across the living room, landing inside the kitchen down the floor. The door was smashed by the impact.
He groaned in pain but felt the shotgun still fastened tightly on his left arm. This gave him a slight hint of hope. He staggered to wrap his hands at the handle of the gun and pull it up to his chest.
He kept his stance lying on the floor with the approaching paws of his attackers became clearer on his vision. He gradually made himself face-up the growling critters. He hold the shotgun upside down aiming for the gas stove a mere feet away from him.

Narrator’s POV Inside a stylishly luxurious modern office, Detective Andrews was staring back at the man in front of him. The Apostheosis desk between them was empty except for the Luxxu Pharo 1 table lamp that stood splendidly at the right side of the slab. Its layered artificial lighting illuminates a much elegant atmosphere to the room which was an embarrassment to the natural brightness of the sun. From his seat, the sophisticated Charla office chair was bestowing Sir John Dave Lausanne an aristocratic aura. His unbounded wealth and influence not only in Leverland but across the globe had made a name for himself. He was known as the founder of the famed Oracle Properties Development Corporation, the leading residential real-estate developer all over the world. In Leverland alone, this posh room was located at the penthouse on the one-hundredth f
Narrator's POV Hovering in the air was an Augusta Westland AW109 Grand Versace VIP Helicopter. Onboard was the patriarch of the Lausanne clan together with Detective Giovanni Andrews. The six-point three million dollars privately-owned luxury chopper was fully covered in Versace leather with gold and crystal designs on interiors. Detective Andrews was in awe gaping at the extravagance around him. His acquired wealth from his conspiracies with Amante earned him a fortune that he and his wife Mikaela had expended on some business ventures with the Squat Squad. But it was just a pinch in comparison with trillions of dollars the infamous family got. And that was what gave him the resolution to face the imminent risk of dealing with the clan. However, as they were approaching the magnificent mansion on the island, cold creeps of dread ti
Amante POV Werewolves against humans. This would be my second chance to witness the destructive clash between our races. But this time, the outcome would be different. I’ll make sure of that! I am not the weak child anymore who cowered in a safe dwelling while his family and friends were being murdered mercilessly. My years of pent-up anger and thirst for revenge had me ignited the power in me. Amaltheo’s roused as well. We are together at this crucial time. I can feel the exceptional strength embodied in my entire existence. I am in for a killing spree tonight. The hellacious-red silhouette of the night comes from the glimmering Trifecta moon above, a distant witness of the theater of death on the battlefield burnished with entrails, and the bitter, mordant smell of corpses emanated from it. The sodden earth became oily with ichor as a swarm of our opponents pummeled by a horde of beasts. Serried ra
Amante POV “Look at him tremble! He looks so funny I could kill him happily.” It was amusing to watch the traitor Detective Andrews as he frantically holds on to his old rifle. Fear was visible in his wrinkled face. “Patience, Amaltheo! I need to get something out of him first.”, though I feel the same eagerness to stomp on this traitor, it’s best to squeeze some information from him. And I need to know why he betrayed me. And I have asked him to check on Allyssa’s family. He must have discovered something terrible to act rashly this way. “Have you done what I have asked you?”. I stepped my way around him, intimidating him with my gigantic wolf. The turncoat must have had his tongue pulled out of him. He’s torturously quiet. He stood stiffly for a moment, then there was a sudden change in his expression. His stares became empty of any emotions and seemed like this was the f
Amante POV The emerging early morning sunlight on the horizon gradually removed the dark cloak of the night. Its generous brightness hugged the glimmering snowflakes that showers from the sky. I slowly get up from my crouching stance. It’s weird to feel weak and vulnerable, and somehow, I knew it’s because of wolfbane. I am not invincible, after all! My packmates, roughly about ten thousand of warriors who had survived the night because of me, huddled around with curious expressions on their faces. “They were beyond belief when they found out you survived the blast.”, says Amaltheo as I shake my body to get rid of the powdered wolfbane left on my furs. The werewolves around jerked away to avoid being touched by the poisonous talc. I smirked at their cowardly behavior. “Beta Maziar! How’s the search for my mate?”, I mentally asked as I trudge my way further from the hole. It’s giving me the creeps. Beta Maziar did not resp
Amante POV It was a satisfying sex. I’ve had my fill. The howling inside my mind made by my deranged spirit wolf was futile. I could feel the burning pain in my nerves, but I ignored it. It was of Allyssa’s, not mine. It satisfies me to know she’s hurting. “Alpha King Amante, we’ve found your human mate. We bounded her in a tree here by the north of Antilla Forest.” A sudden report from one of my pack warriors stopped me in my tracks. I was half-way up to the peak. Antilla forest lies several miles away from here. I was tricked! “Beta Maziar!”, a burst of anger made me leaped back to him and pinned him down the ground. My paws were shaking in wrath as I slowly grate the skin of his face. An agonized wailing echoed helplessly on the frozen gorge. “You, worthless scum! Allyssa’s on the other side. You’ve called me away from the opposite direction!” “I am regretful, my king! H
Amante POVI have done my best in everything I did. I was simply working out on my dreams. Was it wrong to aim for the best for oneself? I believe everybody has their own set of goals in life. The only difference I have was that I set it all up, plan it over and over, then make it come true. I see nothing wrong with that. Betrayal, murder, those were inevitable. Sacrifices must be made, somehow.I don’t know how long I have been convincing myself that I was the victim here. That it was Amaltheo and Allyssa who had wronged me. How dare they abandon me?I have watched my packmates leave, turning their back on their Alpha King. I’d punish them when I woke up.Yes. I think I’m still dreaming. I’m safe and sound asleep in my warm bed, having the most horrible nightmare I could ever have. Of course, this couldn’t be happening in real life. I’m the
Amante POV“Oh, hey, you’re awake at last!”A cheerful voice of a man stirred me up on my slumber. I’ve just opened my eyes. The white conventional ceiling above me was unfamiliar as well as the warm welcome of the stranger beside me.I pushed myself up from the floral sofa bed I was lying in. The dizziness gradually diminished.There was a hint of subtle elegance at the simplicity of this apartment. Bright and welcoming, it consists of a living room with a sofa bed which has been mocked by my lengthy physique. A few steps away was a fully equipped kitchenette with an attached bathroom. The door with a hinged photo frame of Niagara Falls seemed to be a bedroom. A livable veranda furnished with table, chairs and built-in bench with cushions were ideal for outdoor lunches and dinners. The mountain view has the promise of serene relaxation and suitable for people to spend pleasant day
A year later, under the glorious moonlight, two shadows can be seen lurking at the top of Empire State Building in New York, USA. It was Amante with his mate Allyssa. They were observing the people gathered below for the New Year’s eve celebration. Right after the magnificent fireworks display, they stared at each other with generous smiles plastered on their faces. “Time has come, my love! I’m happy to be here beside you right now!” Amante whispered lovingly on his wife’s ears. Allyssa giggled like love-struck teenager when she felt butterflies in her stomach because of her husband’s words. “I love you!” was all she could answer to that. They lovingly wrapped each other in tight embrace. Amante mind linked his Beta, the eleven year old Kelvin who showed him that age was nothing but a number. “Everybody on their places, Beta Kelvin?” “Aye, Alpha King Amante! W
Amante POV “Take a look at that, Maziar. Those were the human beings werewolves have been wary about all their lives. Most of them does not even believe our kinds do exist.” We were at the city center, fitting ourselves with the bustling people around. I could sense Maziar’s discomfort. He was extremely anxious. “Serves him right.” The amusement in Amaltheo’s chuckle made me smile unconsciously. I turned towards the corner of a street where a street performance seemed to have caught everyone’s attention. Maziar followed behind hesitantly. I was not bothered by the idea that he might try to escape, and I guess, he knows why. As the night started to fade away, the crowd on the streets finally began to diminish as people go their separate ways. “See that, Maziar? Nobody notices our existence within the human populace. There was not a reason to hibernate in that barren, frozen la
Amante POV“Come with me, Maziar. I can show you the world, the real world I wanted to conquer the most.”Although I haven’t tried it myself, an idea of transporting with someone from place to place has a good impression on me.And because this was just a trial and error phase, there’s no one other than Maziar Brennan who fitted the most as my companion.I could boast my powers right in front of his sulking face and I could simply ditch him somewhere barren to die alone and miserable.The look on his face was satisfying.This time I’ve transformed back into my human form and I quickly grabbed him by the neck. There would be no place for him to but with me.With nothing on, I did not hesitate to summon my teleportation power. I know the place very well, so there was nothing to worry about being seen by another in my nakedness.The electricity travelled all t
Amante POVHaving been a quisling myself, I’ve masterfully acquired the tacit ways to get someone fooled; one, was to make the fool believe what isn’t true, and, the other was to make the truth as unbearable misery as possible that the ignorant would refuse to believe it himself.Maziar Brennan has the nerve to put me in such dilemma.If his goal was to plant doubts and mislead me, he had already succeeded halfway.My rationality was clouded with his poisonous truth, so intense that I almost found myself collapsing on the ground.I never wanted to be seen weak and vulnerable. It was degrading on my part to slump like the whole world has fallen down on me.But what else could be done?Maziar Brennan.The traitor that dared to kill me, stole from me, and challenged my ascendency was my first and only blood cousin!I have always thought I was the last of all Del Fuegos.
Amante POVMaziar Brennan remained silent for a while longer. He seemed to be on his own world, contemplating on his next move. Even his followers were quiet and did not attempt to move a bit far from where I found them when I first appeared in front of them. I kept myself at bay, taking the risk of being too exposed but not at the mercy of any werewolves who would dare challenge me.Amaltheo, my spirit wolf on his glorious magnificence, was totally intimidating and looking as menacing as possible without much effort. The silver fur was glistening at the flickering firecrackers made by the bonfire at the center of the cave. The calf they were roasting was burnt for being left untouched from the fire consuming its shrunk meat. No one cared, or if there might be, they forcefully convinced themselves to stay away and let it burn and
Amante POVIt would remain a mystery on me how Maziar Brennan became the traitor I have been before. It was the tag I used to carry discreetly all through out the years I stayed with the Irati Nardus Pack. The things I did, the secrets I hide, and the betrayals I concealed before become his to endure, and as charged to my past experiences, it would lead him to nowhere but doom.There were so many things I would like to ask him. I should have it all written down on a piece of paper so it would have been easier for me, as I only needed to read it aloud. It was because, right now, I suddenly felt stupefied in front of him. I maybe as stunned as his petrified condition which made us both silent for a couple of seconds.Only the cracklings of the burning firewood and the heavy breathing of the werewolves inside this cave was the only noise that echoes around. Rather than attacking me as I had an
Amante POV“I would go and confront the traitor, Maziar Brennan, all by myself!”My words were instantly shunned with exasperated gasps from everyone, most especially my mate, Allyssa Lausanne. She jerked out of my arms with shaken standpoint.“What are you talking about? You know very well that I would never let you do this without me by your side. What were you thinking, huh, Amante?”Her voice were filled with disappointments and disbelief. I have already anticipated her extreme reactions way before I have even got the chance to voice out my perceptions on the problems we were facing because of Maziar. There would be no other way out of this, but to patiently persuade her to comply, as this would be the only chance we got to ensure the success of capturing the rotten bastard.“Calm down and hear me away first, Allyssa!”I have never tried to use
Amante POVAs the night deepens, the discussion went on. Allyssa come before in time when I was about to ask about Omega Irna.“We found out that Irna was killed when she returned to the pack, and Maziar ordered Roman to drop her body along with the others, in the trap sink hole for our group. How do everyone reacted? Does any one of you aware that she was the one who really killed Marina?”Alpha Vincent shifted nervously before replying to Allyssa. His anxiety was visibly pasted on his flustered face.“I would start by begging for forgiveness. I am truly sorry, Luna Allyssa, but the truth was, except for Alpha Mayor who was settled at the island of Cape Narciso, everyone knows that you were not really to blame for Marina's death. Despite that, we proceeded on your unfair trial. The council was convinced that it was the best way to get rid of you or at least get you kicked out of
Amante POVIt was getting dark outside when we finished cooking up the moose meat. The whole process was filled with laughter and I enjoyed every second of it. We were like a real family having the best day of their lives together in the most common yet fulfilling corner of the house, the kitchen.As we started moving out, I scanned my surroundings. The bright moon had half appeared behind the darkened clouds. It was not very common to see stars in the sky of Antarctica. It was simply because of the harsh and most often violent climate of the weather. In here, the snow does not stop pouring throughout the year.I felt the chilly breeze from the icy squalls that dances along with the gentle wind.Mixed with the pungent and familiar scents of my packmates was the savory aroma of the roasted meat prepared by Kelvin for his sickly friend Lyka, the unica hija of the former Beta of Alpha K
