AN HOUR LATER, a worn-out simper flashed to the corners of Venom's lips as he passed into the Blood Moon wilderness while carrying the wolf prince on his back. For a brief moment, the whooshing sound produced by his quick movement and the friction of his jeans against the knee-length thickets sounded like a lullaby to his ears.

A yawn threatened to escape his mouth, but he quickly suppressed it and accelerated even more. Venom couldn't wait to get back to his cabin and sleep for he was exhausted from the shitstorm that had occurred overnight, which had sapped all of his energy.

Fighting a gang of assassins, dealing with Reese and his men, and dealing with the prince's eerie demeanor, reaching their pack free of mental illness and unscathed was far from what he had envisioned.

As a result, Venom mentally shook his head.

Perhaps an hour or two is all that is required for him to regenerate so that he can speak to his father about his resignation as the royal wolf p

    THE SKY WAS A SAPPHIRE BRINE SPLATTERED WITH FEATHERY WHITE CLOUDS, and the sunbeams radiated brilliantly on the eastern land, particularly the Blood Moon pack, heightening the mood of every shifter prowling around it.The weather was ideal for outdoor activities; ergo Venom organized a new level of combat training for the pack warriors. "Get the fuck up!" Wearing an impassive expression, he barked to his trainees, who were on the ground clutching the parts of their bodies that had been injured during the early brutal activity.He could still recognize the brave shitheads who had attacked him in the forest and brought him to the detention unit. He'd been awake all night thinking about what he could do to those rascals. They must have known better than to mess with an alpha blood. "Fall in!"

    "WAIT, your highness!" Selena called out as Prince Killian took slow strides to search for his bodyguard.Taken aback, the prince came to a halt, spun around, and peered at the youngest Forcas who had left her unfinished meal. Dressed in a simple white t-shirt, pink above-the-knee shorts, and pink flat shoes, Selena flashed a toothy smile at him. "Did you forget your room is on the second floor?" She jogged up to him, her fiery red hair in ponytails bouncing on her shoulders. It's hard for Prince Killian to believe she's Xavier and Venom's sister for the three have such opposing personalities. The alpha is a reserved man. Venom is hypersensitive, whereas their youngest is a ball of sunshine. As a result, he mentally praised Moore Forcas and Tiana for doing an excellent job raising three fascinating shifters.Soon, Selena stopped in front of him and tilted her head up to look him straight in the eye.

    AT THE NORTHERN PART OF THE BLOOD MOON, between Alpha Xavier's territory and the nearby pack, a group of suspicious shifters lurked behind the thick grasses.

The guards showed no signs of slowing down even for a brief moment.

    VENOM was awakened by the birds' synchronized chirping and the crowing of the morning rooster. As soon as he opened his eyes, his body jerked up and his hands ruffled his short hair."Shit!" he muttered in a croaked voice and looked around his studio-style cabin. The sun had already risen, and its bright rays were filtering through his open windows. The door was slightly opened asserting that someone went out while he was in a slumber. His gaze darted to his mattress, which was covered with a crumpled bedsheet. Someone slept next to him, and the scents of apple, vanilla, and mint filled his nostrils as proof.A scowl tugged Venom's facial muscle as he smacked his forehead and grunted, "Damn it!" He had fallen asleep last night due to fatigue and had forgotten to join the pack warriors patrolling the borders. It was the first time he had neglected his responsibilities, and while he wanted to blame the prince for constantly bothering him, he should also repriman

    (Third Person POV)RAIN was pouring like daggers to the asphalt road creating thick mists which hastily added to the frostiness of the atmosphere. The appealing scent of petrichor lingered in the air triggering nostalgia in those who got exposed to its mysticism.In the middle of the surly enchantment, an imposing man stood like a statue on the empty street near the infamous hotel in Moon Bay. Drenched in water, his white button-down shirt and black trousers hugged his scrawny structure. His eyes were closed and with the aid of the street lamps, a smug smirk tugging the corner of his lips could not be missed as he was relishing the harsh water hitting his ghostly face.A bizarre scene to watch but was shortly disrupted by three big quirks lurking in the shadows.

    (Third Person POV) "WHY left the hotel's room, Prince Killian? Where's Mr. Smith?" While wiping the blood in his hands with wet tissue, Venom asked the prince. He was informed that his subject is a multi-lengua so he was as sure as hell the royal blood could understand simple questionings. The prince combed his long damp hair with his fingers and shifted on his seat. Venom darted his eyes on him and he found traces of discomfort on his face. The prince is a werewolf but with his thin frame, it's easy to tell what's troubling him. "What? You're cold?" Venom sarcastically rasped before he threw the trash in his hand out of the window, reached for the coat at the back of his car, and roughly tossed it to the prince. "Royals!" He shook his head, turned the engine of the vehicle to life, and drove off. On the flip side, Prince Killian calmly breathed the scent of the coat and covered the upper part of his body. He then leaned back and pinned his ga

    THE dreary path grew bleaker for only a small portion of moonbeams passed through the thick branches of the ponderosa pines draping the entire niche. The crickets started chirping and the owl hooted audibly— enhancing the gloomy atmosphere yet there's no hint of apprehension in Venom Forcas' and Prince Killian's expressions as they were ambling their way to Blood Moon pack."Are we there yet, Forcas?" barely a twinkling later, the wolf prince asked.Venom's sluggish gait abruptly came to a halt when he heard Prince Killian's question. He exhaled sharply, struggling to keep the growl in his throat at bay. They'd been walking for over two hours, and the prince had been asking him the same question every five minutes, deliberately devouring his galled nerves.Venom wasn't sure if Prince Killian was deliberately inflaming his temper or if he simply couldn't shut his mouth for an hour."Annoying royal," he grunted inside of his head before he shook his head and proce

    DUE to stressed acceleration, Venom's car languished in handling the high level of friction resulting in a tire blowout. Gripping the steering wheel tightly whilst sensing the frantic jerking motion of the vehicle, he hastily pulled to the side of the narrow route to prevent further mishap. As the engine tardily ceased its remarkable feat, Venom released a pointed audible exhalation and uttered a muffled cuss. Blood Moon was just an hour and a half away, and if he only slowed down a little after Reese's men stopped hounding their tails, they'd be there in a few winks.In brisk succession, he turned his head left and right, lamenting his dereliction. Carelessness is a dreadful mistake for a bodyguard tasked with protecting a royal bloodline nonetheless, he procrastinated on evaluating his error for at that point, reaching Blood Moon quickly was critical.Venom swiveled around and faced Prince Killian, who was resting his head against the window and looking through h
