Jaydon’s POV
You know, as this revelation dawned upon me, I began thinking quite a lot more than I used to back when I was still human.
Until after my transformation, I could barely survive a confrontation from my boss, nor could I deal substantial damage to any who tried to hurt me. I still wonder why I was the one chosen by this so-called prophecy, and whether it chose wrong.
Hmm… I guess it can’t be helped— The days passed by seemed to merge into one continuous thread of training, learning, and adaptation.
Slowly, but surely, my confidence drew closer to that of the Alpha these people needed to lead them against the Maledictus, against the sorcerer. I was determined, and nothing was going to stop me.
---
"Jaydon, focus!" Alex's voice cut through the cool night air, snapping me back to the present.
We were sparring again, under the silver gaze of the moon. I could barely trace his movements. He was as swift and precise as the tales I had heard of a wolf as a kid described.
I managed to dodge his attack due to the subtle sound of the swing of his claws and the bloodlust in his fangs at the last minute. I struggled to match his pace.
In my defense, I still was a newbie werewolf desperately trying to get the hang of it all. My streaming drips of sweat mingled with the dew of the forest, and my muscles burned from exertion.
I decided to go on the offensive for once, drilling my fist through the air, but Alex sidestepped effortlessly and tripped me with a swift kick to further dampen my morale.
I hit the ground hard, and I groaned briefly in pain. Despite how little the strike was, the properties of a werewolf granted him super strength. The wind knocked out of me for some reason, and frustration gradually built up.
Alex's eyes were steady, filled with a mix of sternness and encouragement.
"Your movements are the easiest to follow and predict. At this rate, forget protecting us, would you be able to protect us? You’re improving, yes, but you need to learn how to anticipate better and fight on instinct if you want to stand a chance against the Maledictus." he said, offering a hand to help me up. "The enemy won't simply wait for you to get better, you know?."
"I know. It's just... it's a lot to take in." I replied, brushing off the dirt off my clothes.
Alex's expression softened. "It is. But understand that it isn’t solely your burden to bear alone. We’re here to support you at all times."
His words, though simple, carried the weight of truth. The pack's unity was our greatest strength, and I was beginning to feel that bond deeply.
---
The hours passed by quickly, and the night’s hue darkened deeper. I sat by the fire, catching my breath from the spar. Maya approached me, her presence as gentle as usual. She gave me a cup containing herbal medicine, the steam rising in the cool wind.
"Here, drink." She said softly. "It'll help with the muscle pain."
I took the cup, grateful for her care.
"Thank you really, Maya." I said, taking a sip of the tea.
She took a seat right beside me, longing for a talk wih me. "You're doing well, Jaydon. Don't be too hard on yourself."
I glanced at her, and couldn’t help but notice her eyes reflecting the firelight. "I thank you for your concern, but I have to be hard on myself to actually be something to all of you."
"It's natural to feel that way,” Maya replied. “But as Alex rightfully said, it is not a burden to carry on your own."
Though a repeated conviction, her words pierced through my heart. Coming in like an outsider, I slowly began to find my place here.
---
The days turned into weeks, and my training intensified. Alex pushed me harder, honing my reflexes and instincts. We trained in various terrains, from dense forests to rocky hills, preparing for any scenario. Each session left me exhausted but also stronger, more in tune with my abilities.
Diana continued her teachings, guiding me through the spiritual aspects of our existence. As the sun dipped below the horizon, she spoke of the Maledictus pack once more. Her voice was so heavy, the weight of ancient enmity she had carried showing in her eyes.
"They are a formidable pack," she said, her eyes distant. "Wielding dark magic granted by their lord, they disrupt the natural order and feast on humans to gain power. They are ruthless, and their leader is a sorcerer of great strength and malice.
"Sebastian Elrío… Even if we somehow do figure out a way to get around the pack, defeating him with merely our own abilities will yield a disappointing result. The climax would be equivalent to an elephant tap dancing on an ant. Do you understand, Jaydon, the weight of his strength?”
“If he really is this strong, then how exactly can he be beat?” I presented the most realistic question to ask at the height of her technique.
The thought of such an enemy sent a chill through me. Hmph. Sebastian Elrío…

CHAPTER FOUR Jaydon’s POVNight had a way of revealing the world’s true nature. All is so simple under the sun: light and shadow, right and wrong, hope and despair. In the dark, though, these lines blurred, and what lay hidden in the shadows might be more terrifying than anything walking in the daylight. It all started making sense now, in ways I never imagined possible before my transformation. The moonlight had become my guide, but the night still held secrets I wasn't quite sure I was ready to face.---The chill in the night seemed much colder, the sort of cold that eats into your bones, as though the very air had a warning. I was edgy because Diana had spoken some words into my ear earlier in the day. She feared she had perceived something— a distortion in the natural order. It was subtle— subtle enough for anybody to miss, like a ripple effect in a calm lake, but it was there for sure. "Jaydon," Alex's voice came to me, steady as always but with an undercurrent of urgency. "

The smoke surfaced into the night sky, mingling with the calm clouds. I could feel some sort of a dark omen as my heart pounded within my chest. Though I didn't need a reminder, it reminded me of what's to come at any point in time. The Maledictus were here, and it was not just because of the fire warning. I guess you can call it my wolf's instinct because I knew that this meant war.---I went back to our camp to wake the pack. They could strike at any moment. Heck they might already be within our territory. I needed to tell Alex, Diana, everyone.To my surprise, they were all awake and conscious of the sudden shift in the natural scent of peace. They had sensed a coming tension, and their eyes sharpened in determination. “Uhhh, Jaydon,” Ethan, a member of the pack, broke the silence. “What’s going on?” His voice was taut, but you could feel the barely suppressed anxiety. “I didn’t think an attack would come this soon, but they’re close.” I revealed, and the pack gasped.

Jaydon’s POVThe pain… It was unlike anything I had ever felt in my lifetime as a human and a wolf. The agony… It tore through me, consuming every thought process, every breath and reason I had left. The only singular thought that relived through and existed in my brain at the moment was the overwhelming torment that burned through my body with every beat in my heart. I could feel the life draining out of me bit by bit. I could feel every drop of blood that had marked its place into the earth take another piece of my soul away from me. The ground beneath me was stone cold, and was damp with the blood I unconsciously spilled. My blood. It pooled around me, soaking into the dirt, the leaves, the very fabric of the forest. My forest. My home. My pack. And I was failing them.Sebastian's teeth had ripped and torn through my every flesh and muscle, tearing my throat open in a way that I felt no amount of healing could fix it. I could feel what’s left of my strength slip away from me, my

I floated between waking and sleep, the world hazy outlines of shadows and light melding together even memory passing through my hand like water over stones. I felt far away from everything, my body lifeless but for the monotone throb that surged in time with blood backlash. My eyelids were so heavy that from time to time they might as well have been cemented shut, my entire face seemed stitched together with lead. But for a minute, I didn't think that I had escaped alive. I had one memory, the very final moment of my life where I lay on a hard dark forest floor that never seemed to warm up with time, and Sebastian was around me, jaws clenching awkwardly at his throat like some sick child's attempt at metal torques, squeezing painfully tight against my neck. And in what felt like an instant fear took over because it all made too much sense; this engine must have run out its oil and now wasn't working anymore—for good?Let me put it this way, I am sure as hell supposed to be dead.

It was raining still when I woke for the second time, but slower rain tapped in a pondering beat against the window frame and calmed me following a tumultuous rest. I blinked sleepily, confused as I slapped the lamp beside my bed — Olivia's room. The wooden beams above me, the flickering candlelight casting shadows on walls matching the soft scent of herbs mingling with an earthy aroma as well and—well sweet heavens—it was a far cry from the icy fear and blood-soaked reality to which I should not have lived.

I blinked a multitude of times in the hopes to clear the haze of my vision, but despite my best efforts, everything was still spinning. The ground did not stop rotating and it made me feel nauseous. My body felt heavy,and every shroud of effort I made trying to move sent spikes of agony through all muscles and bones. For a moment, I could not place a finger at where exactly I was, and I could barely piece together the events that had transpired to the moment I got here.But then, slowly but surely, it all rushed back— the fight with Sebastian, the blinding flash of light, Olivia’s terrified face as he gripped her by the throat.

CHAPTER ONE They call me the Alpha of my pack. The protector of my kind. Not going to lie, it did sound pretty good. But in all honesty, this wasn't always the case.It all began on the night of a full moon, her radiance imblazing her symbolic perfect, beautiful lunar glow over the world. I'm Jaydon Woods, and this is my story. Fact is, I never thought my life would turn out like this. Several weeks back, I was just a regular dude living his regular life. I had been employed to work at a local auto repair shop, so my daytime was usually preoccupied. My evenings were usually spent hanging out with friends or catching up on the latest TV shows. To the common man, you’d think that things would go pretty much as your everyday typical, but you have no idea that a single night was enough to change my whole world. It was on a Friday night, and the full moon had already started to rise when I left work. I remember feeling a strange pull, an inexplicable urge, so to say, to be outside, un
