LOGINAlanDarkness swallowed everything so fast that for one terrible second I honestly thought I had gone blind completely because there was nothing around me anymore except the sound of screaming alarms, heavy breathing, and the violent roar still shaking through the hallway walls around us like thunder trapped underground.The creature’s hand crushed painfully around my chest while it held me high above the floor without any effort at all, and I could barely drag enough air into my lungs properly because every breath felt tighter than the last one while its massive fingers dug harder into my ribs.“Let him go!” Natasha screamed somewhere nearby, though her voice sounded distant beneath the alarms and the horrible growling echoing through the darkness ahead of us.Then the glowing eyes moved, dozens of them…maybe more.I could not even count properly anymore because they kept appearing deeper inside the hallway one after another while low uneven growls slowly filled the darkness around u
NatashaThe way it said Alan’s name made every single hair on my body stand up instantly because its voice did not sound angry anymore like it had before.It sounded familiar somehow, like it actually knew him personally.The hallway became so quiet afterward that all I could hear was the broken buzzing from the dying lights overhead and Matt’s rough uneven breathing somewhere behind us while dust drifted slowly through the cold air around the giant creature standing near the destroyed doorway.Alan could not stop staring at it, nor could I anymore.The creature’s body looked horribly wrong up close now that more of it had stepped fully into the hallway. Its skin looked stretched too tightly over muscles that moved in strange uneven ways beneath it while long dark veins spread across its neck and arms like giant cracks running through stone walls.Its shoulders were massive beyond belief, far too massive to belong to anything human anymore.Every movement it made caused the floor bene
Alan“It remembers me.”The words barely left my mouth before another violent crash exploded from inside the room, and the sound slammed through the hallway so hard that the entire floor beneath us shook again while pain shot violently through my skull with enough force to nearly make my knees give out beneath me completely.The darkness around us did not feel normal anymore.It felt alive now, heavy and suffocating in a way that made every breath harder to force properly into my lungs while the smell of rust, blood, and burned wires filled the hallway so strongly that it almost made me feel sick.Another low growl rolled out from inside the room behind the broken doorway, but this time the sound came slower and deeper like whatever was inside no longer cared about hiding itself anymore, and hearing it again made cold fear spread violently through my chest because somewhere deep inside my head I recognized it.Not from tonight but from before.From somewhere buried so far inside my me
NatashaEverything inside me froze so hard that for one terrible moment I could not even force air properly into my lungs anymore because the words that thing had just spoken kept echoing violently through my head in a way that made my stomach twist painfully with fear and confusion.The real Alan.My eyes moved wildly between the creature holding Matt against the wall and the dark doorway behind us where the terrified screaming still echoed endlessly through the hallway, and no matter how hard I tried forcing myself to think clearly, none of this made sense anymore because every second only made the nightmare worse instead of giving us answers.Matt struggled violently in the creature’s grip while his boots scraped helplessly against the floor beneath him, his face slowly turning red from the pressure crushing his throat, but I could barely focus on him because my brain was still stuck on those horrifying words.That one is the real Alan.“No…” I whispered weakly before I could stop
AlanThe handle behind us kept turning slowly with a soft metal scrape that dug deeper into my skull with every passing second, and the sound alone was enough to make panic spread violently through my chest because whatever waited behind that door was no longer sitting quietly anymore like it had been before.It is out now.Natasha’s fingers tightened painfully around my arm while she stared at the slowly opening door with wide terrified eyes that reflected the flickering red emergency lights above us, and I could feel the fear shaking through her grip no matter how hard she tried hiding it.“Alan, stay away from it,” she whispered quickly while pulling lightly against my arm as if she thought physically dragging me backward would somehow stop whatever was happening inside my head.I tried focusing on her properly because part of me still understood that her voice was real while the whispering inside my skull was not, but every word coming from the darkness behind that door kept press
NatashaThe sound stopped every single one of us from moving almost immediately because the footsteps echoing through the hallway did not sound distant anymore. They sounded close enough now that I could almost feel the vibration of each slow step pressing through the floor beneath us, and the worst part about it was how calm the sound felt. Not rushed, not uneven…not confused.Whoever was walking toward us sounded patient, that frightened me more than panic ever could.For one long second, nobody spoke at all. The red emergency lights above us flickered weakly across the dark hallway, throwing strange moving shadows across the walls while broken glass crunched softly beneath our shoes. The entire building suddenly felt too quiet between each echoing footstep, like the silence itself was listening carefully to us.Matt slowly reached for the knife strapped against his side while staring ahead without blinking once.“I seriously hate this place,” he muttered under his breath, though hi
AlanThe moment the name left my guard’s mouth, every muscle in my body went rigid. For a second, I thought I had heard wrong but the look on his face told me I hadn’t.Rage rose inside me so fast it felt like fire tearing through my veins. My wolf stirred violently under my skin, restless and hung
NatashaI knew why Raymond called Alan. There was something or someone they needed to attend to and I was more than convinced that it was a rogue simply because of everything that was going on in that moment. Alan was vengeful when he wanted to be, at least I had seen that in him in the little time
AlanWalking into Zephyr’s pack, a sense of deja vu hit me all over again because this was the same way I had felt the last time I had been here. I had come here the other day to fight him because I thought he had forcefully taken Natasha from me but now, I could see very well that she had come her
Natasha“Where have you been? The Alpha has been looking everywhere for you.” I looked up from my phone, watching as Sophia hurried towards me, a frantic look on her face. Whatever it was, it had to be disturbing because Sophia was never easily rattled like this. My heartrate spiked because I didn
