"What we should be worried about is how to get everyone back to normal," Laura spoke up after they'd all sat in silence for some minutes."We should…" she started to say when she suddenly stiffened and straightened. Her eyes glazed over. The voice of the Compliant came out of her mouth."Douglas. The voice said, "my investigation revealed that because the witch spell wasn't completed, it would begin to wear off, so about now you should be receiving news on improvement in your pack. That doesn't mean that your troubles are over. Only a handful will feel their wolves again. Nonetheless, Brighton needs a cure ASAP, unless it will lose more than half of its pack members. You should also keep in mind that the witches are gearing up for another attack."Andrew growled at the sound of the Compliant's Voice. He clenched his fists as he ground his teeth. Although he wasn't close to them, its dominance still affected him.Laura gasped as she was released from her trance."How the hell did he do
The sounds of punching, groans of pain, and crunching boots resounded around Andrew. His assailant huffed, pulling him up and tossing him into another tree trunk."In werewolf hierarchy, the oldest or most powerful wolf shifts more swiftly than the others. He always howls first, before others can follow." A cold guttural voice remarked above the noise. "It's a sign of respect. Keep these things in mind when hunting wolves." He said."Yes, master," his assailant and others chorused, panting heavily.His assailant dragged a big log and whipped Andrew with it. Unlike himself, Andrew offered no resistance, he just laid there listening to his bones and rib crack. Pain filtered through his veins, keeping his body from healing itself. Hefting him up, his assailant pushed him into a tree and smacked his battered face."Enough! We've captured the Alpha wolf. Let them go." The cold guttural voice commanded.His assailant hesitated for some seconds before tossing him to the side. Bodies fell to
"Wa..wha..whaa…what do you mean?" Emily stuttered, goosebumps decorated her skin as she tried and failed to clutch her chest. Her hands had become too heavy for her body, her legs immobile, and her vision blurred.Her mind became woozy. Yet, one thought flashed like a bright beacon through it.How did Shirley find and gain access to her?Like if reading her mind, Shirley smirked.With a flick of her finger, Emily found herself levitating towards her. "I got your address from your mother. I've been following you for days now. Did you think you could get away? The moment you accepted the coven's help you became part of the coven. So even if you use the best protection spell in the world. I, your coven chief, will find you."Emily swallowed,Shirley's long nails trailed Emily's face delicately, then she grabbed it and sneered."Now let's see what untapped powers you have lying in there. You haven't picked a sacrifice yet, should I do it for you?" Emily's eyes widened as a small gasp es
Location: Brighton's Pack Hall."Well well well, who do we have here?" Shirley sneered."Brighton, welcome to your doom." She said, laughing maniacally. The female werewolf flailed in the air with a promise of retribution shining in her eyes. It only made her laugh harder.Shirley's chest puffed with pride at the possibility of successfully pulling her attack off. The only thing holding her back was Emily. She could feel Emily resisting the hoax she'd cast on her. If only the bitch would just pick a sacrifice, they'd be able to complete the spell that would wipe out more than half, if not all of the werewolves gathered in the hall.Her laughter was cut short as a gust of power hit her, making her apparition flicker. A sense of foreboding swept through her being. The hold she had on the pack stretched thin, threatening to snap into pieces.The lady she'd suspended in the air fell to the floor with a loud thud. Growls echoed around her as most of the wolves regained their energy. Cha
"Found them! Larry and a few others are down this ditch." A warrior screamed."Andrew?" Laura screamed, abandoning the crying female and sprinting towards the ditch. "Is Andrew there?" She panted, then looked into the deep opening in the ground where bodies of werewolves were piled up. "There's no telling, I can only make out Larry." She sighed.Douglas arrived shortly, she could feel the anxiety seeping out of his pores. "Is he there?" He asked, then looked into the ditch."Fuck." He snarled, "get them out of there."In a few minutes, they retrieved the wolves in the ditch. Most of them were severely wounded or dead. Luckily Larry was unscathed but was still unconscious. A head count of all the rescued werewolves revealed that it was just Andrew and Derek that were still missing.Laura clenched her fist, then ran her hands through her hair. Douglas growled. His power rushed through the air like a dust haze. Birds and other animals around them scampered for safety."They cast a spe
"I have decided to be fair. And so while we launch a series of attacks. I'm throwing open the Alpha position to any of my sons that can provide a permanent solution to our feud with the witches. It mustn't be an attack that'll wipe them out, it should be something that would make them fear us. "Henceforth anyone that figures out what is going to stop the witches will become Alpha."Gasps rang through the room, shock did not begin to define what the pack members felt. Sighs of disapproval and murmurs arose. "The prophecy?" Some murmured, "did something happen?" Others said.Caleb who had been keeping a low profile had to keep himself from jumping in jubilation. He couldn't believe his luck. After the recent attack, he considered giving up, but this new revelation awoke his determination. His wolf purred in appreciation. This was it. He could feel it within his nerves, the opportunity he'd waited for all those years had finally fallen in his lap and he'd be stupid not to grab it. He b
Andrew's mouth fell open."Awww stop it." Selene said, with a small wave. "You shouldn't be that surprised to see me. Don't mind my attire, I can't keep up with your generation, it's difficult."She was wearing a loosely fitted, golden evening gown that was floating around like it was being billowed by violent winds. This time Selene's dark red hair was let down and adorned with little flowers on each side. Andrew glanced at the windows, they were firmly shut. Then he squinted at her."Who, no what are you?" Andrew bit out,His wolf who was supposed to be backing him up purred and lazed around in his head."Argh," he growled at his wolf."Who's betraying who now?" He muttered under his breath."I'm also called Luna?" She gestured."Luna of what Pack? Why can't I feel your wolf? Plus are you a witch and werewolf? Or are you the ghost of a werewolf?" He badgered,Grinning Selene folded her arms and relaxed into her chair."You may want to sit down." She said,"No…." Andrew started to s
Since his father's announcement, a grin had been permanently etched on Caleb's face.This was the opportunity he'd longed for, for the greater part of his life. Unfortunately, it came a little too late for him to play the game fairly. If the old Alpha had made this announcement earlier, maybe he would have forgiven him. Now he wanted nothing but to squeeze the life out of him and Andrew.Caleb stretched his arms, then resumed drumming to an internal beat. He was sitting in a local pub waiting for Mendez.The 48 hours he gave him expired days ago. Before his father's announcement, he'd trashed Mendez's offer, deciding that Mendez was a snake. He was sure that if they worked together, Mendez would want more later on in the future. He could smell Mendez's desperation to rule Brighton from behind the scenes from a mile away and as far as Caleb could tell, he couldn't become a puppet Alpha.He also found it hard to believe that his father had it in him to kill his mother. He watched the m
