51. The Rogue Hunt

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-23 16:00:37

"Steady!" Steve commanded mentally as they neared the rogues. Emma could clearly see them through the visor of her helmet—dozens, perhaps hundreds of misshapen creatures that had once been werewolves. Their fur was patchy and diseased, revealing rotting flesh beneath. Their eyes glowed with an unnatural red luminescence rather than the amber typical of healthy wolves. They moved with jerky, uncoordinated motions, yet their speed was terrifying.

The entourage was getting dangerously close to the large numbers of zombie werewolves. "Steady!" the Alpha commanded again, his body tense beneath Emma's grip.

The horde spotted them coming and immediately surged forward like a black tsunami, a wave of rogues dashing toward the approaching vehicles with horrifying speed and single-minded purpose. Their howls—distorted, wrong-sounding parodies of wolf calls—sent ice through Emma's veins.

"Steady!" Steve sent a firm command as the vehicles maintained their

    Emma exhaled a shaky breath of relief that nobody had died during the capture. The mission had been fraught with danger—three men injured, but miraculously, all had survived the rogue's feral attacks. However, her momentary relief vanished when she observed the utterly baffling phenomenon before her: the industrial-grade tranquilizer that should have subdued any living creature had virtually no effect on the captured rogue wolf. It thrashed with manic intensity, hurling its massive body against the reinforced steel bars with such violence that the modified armored van rocked on its suspension. Each impact sent a metallic reverberation through the underground facility, making Emma's teeth clench involuntarily."Stand back!" Steve commanded as one particularly violent lunge bent one of the bars slightly. The entire team—Emma, Steve, Marcus, and the half-dozen heavily armored tacti

    Emma pulled on white rubber gloves that snapped against her wrists and secured a mask over her nose and mouth, not for her protection but to maintain what sterility she could under the circumstances. Her hands moved with automatic efficiency as she inserted an IV into the rogue's forearm—a task made difficult by the dense muscle and twisted anatomy—and started a continuous drip of sedatives.Steve positioned himself at the head of the table, his powerful frame tense with anticipation and concern. His eyes never left Emma's face, reading every microexpression for signs of distress or discovery. Despite the conflict between them over the stolen research, his protective instincts remained undiminished.Emma took a deep breath to center herself befo

    Steve's hands trembled with barely contained rage as he paced the concrete floor of the underground facility. His jaw clenched so tightly that a dull ache radiated through his temples. The bitter taste of betrayal coated his tongue like poison. He had been a fool—a complete and utter fool—to believe they had time to prepare, to strategize, to defend themselves. Emma's revelation had shattered that illusion in an instant, leaving him with the sickening realization that he and his entire pack were living on borrowed time, their fate dangling by the whim of some unknown enemy lurking in the shadows."So, they can just attack my pack anytime they want?" Steve asked Emma again, his voice breaking slightly as the words left his lips for what felt like the hundredth time. The question hung in the stale air of the facility, the weight of it pressing down on his chest like a stone. He ran his fingers through his disheveled hair, tugging at the roots as if the physical pain might distract from

    Emma broke the silence first, her scientific curiosity momentarily outweighing her fear. "Can you tell me when this virus attack happened?" she asked, moving back to the examination table where the rogue's brain still lay exposed."Three weeks ago," Steve answered, his voice hollow. The memory of that morning—waking up to the sounds of agonized screams from his pack members—still haunted his nightmares."Do you know how it happened?" she inquired, her fingers hovering over the pulsing device embedded in the brain tissue.Steve ran a hand over his face, feeling the rough stubble that testified to days without proper rest. "That's the problem, Emma. I just woke up like everybody else feeling like death. The whole pack woke up with it." Confusion and frustration warred on his face, carving deep lines around his eyes and mouth. "One minute we were fine, the next...""The day before it happened, did you notice anything unusual?" Emma pressed, her k

    Steve spent the remaining forty minutes building things he never imagined he would construct in his lifetime. His hands trembled slightly as he worked, not from fear, but from a peculiar mixture of hope and desperation that coursed through his veins like electricity. The weight of responsibility pressed down on his broad shoulders, threatening to crush him beneath its immensity.He caught a glimpse of Emma from the corner of his eye, her delicate fingers working with surprising dexterity as she assembled components with unwavering focus. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined he would be standing shoulder to shoulder with the werewolf he had once coldly rejected, their past differences dissolved in the face of impending catastrophe. The irony wasn't lost on him—how quickly priorities shifted when survival hung in the balance.Steve Kane, proud Alpha of the Sterling Creek pack, never in a million years imagined all of his pack members would be infected and te

    The weight of his past mistakes pressed against Steve's chest. How many others had he underestimated? How many potential allies had he alienated through his stubborn adherence to outdated pack hierarchies?"How exactly are these things supposed to work?" Marcus asked gruffly as he screwed components together, his powerful hands looking almost comically large against the delicate technological parts. Sweat beaded on his furrowed brow, betraying his anxiety despite his attempt at a stoic demeanor.Emma finished polishing the large round moon crystal, setting it carefully in its cradle. The workspace fell silent as she reached into her pocket and produced the tiny blinking device she had extracted from the rogue's brain. It pulsed with an ominous red light, sending shivers down Steve's spine."This is an implant connected to the brain stem of the rogue," she explained, holding it up so Steve and Marcus could see. The device looked innocuous—deceptively small

    KILL SWITCH. III.Emma’s calves were burning from running up the mountains. Although she was not carrying anything, she was anxious because time was her enemy. And because she heard a plane rumbling over the pack.She did not believe in coincidences. She suspected that the plane was where the controllers were hiding.Marcus’ walkie talkie hissed to life and he dropped the generator to answer it.“How high are you?” Steve asked with urgency in his voice.“Very high, Alpha Kane, just a few more minutes till we reach the highest point, over,” Marcus answered as he breathed heavily.“Look into your binoculars,” Steve said. “And turn on the night vision.”Marcus did and sucked in a breath. “We have to hurry,” he said with a new sound of worry.“Let me see,” Emma stretched her hands and Marcus gave her the binoculars.“Goddess!” Emma exclaimed in fear. The Rogues, they were all standing still and watching Sterling creek from a distance. From the corners of her sight, she saw the small air p

    The smell of metal burning woke Steve up. He was on his back and he was covered in entrails and blood. The ground felt very sticky and reeked of flesh. It was still night and the moon shined brightly. There was something very different in the atmosphere.He groaned in pain as he sat up. A wave of dizziness hit him and he almost fell on his back again. His head throbbed painfully as he looked around. His black van was upside down and he had no idea where his sniper was. He was trying so hard to remember what happened.He got to his feet unsteadily and looked around. Dismembered werewolves filled the whole mass of ground around him. The smell of burning metal was still in the air. His brain was still trying to fill in the gaps as he stumbled on rogue guts. His ears were ringing and his eyes were trying to regain focus.His throat was dry as he swallowed.It worked. His memory clicked back into place as he remembered Emma and the Lunar electromagnet

    “Nothing!” Marcus griped in anger and desperation. “There is not a thing I can use here.”“Do not lose your shit, Marcus,” Steve ordered. “If we are going to get out of this, we need to stay calm.”“Staying calm is not going to help us, Alpha Kane, we need a plan that will let us survive the next forty minutes,” Marcus replied.“Hide” Emma said. “We have to conceal ourselves, if we want to survive that thing,” She added.“How do we do that?” Marcus said. “That thing has our scents.”Emma reached into her leather coat and pulled out three small cans. They were the scent maskers.“How do you do that?” Steve asked.“The last time I checked, those things were in a suitcase,” Marcus said.“It’s the coat,” Emma replied. “It is enchanted and has infinite spaces inside it. All I have to do is put the image of something I have seen before in my mind and it appears in the jacket.”“That is genius,” Marcus muttered.“But its only things I have seen before and they must be at a certain size,” Emm

    “We cannot possible hide from those…things for forty-five minutes, it is impossible,” Marcus said in a strained voice as he climbed up the long flight of stairs.“This way,” Steve led them to a door that led to a floor in the building. “This building has a helipad so we just need to stay alive till the rescue team gets here.”“Is the whole city overrun with those things?” Emma asked in a distraught voice.“That would seem like the case, a lot of werewolf pack are have been affected.” Marcus replied as they walked through the hall way of the unknown floor.“Are those think even killable?” Steve wondered aloud.Emma shook her head. “I looked into their anatomy with my wolf sight, the only thing alive is their brain, they have no heat in them except for the head.”“Mason really outdid himself?” Steve said in low angry voice. Emma felt that the Alpha’s voice held a promise of pain and torture.“It was all Grimkeeper,” Emma said. “Mason is just a tool,” she added.“You know, I have not hea

    Emma’s jaw dropped open immediately she laid eyes on what was making the ground shake. It was a monstrosity her mind could not comprehend.“What the fuck is that?” Steve whispered as he took a fearful step back.“We need to get the fuck out of this city,” Marcus said as he watched the thing that walked towards them.“Wait I recognize it,” Emma said in shock. “It is the monster wolves that were chasing us from earlier!”“We need to run!” Steve said and pulled Emma by the arm. The thing was heading for them and it made no sense to wait around.The things began to chase them and the trio broke into a run. It was a werewolf but uglier and wrong. it had five heads and a massive body with four powerful legs that stomped the ground, breaking the asphalt. It was surprisingly fast and gaining on them.“How is that thing even functioning?” Marcus asked as they ran.There was no time to even answer the question because left and right was filled with dead rotting bodies of werewolves and people.

    The first thing they noticed wasn’t the light.It was the smell.The stench of decay hit them like a wall the moment they stepped out from the rusted subway doors into the open. Rot. Burnt fur. Blood soaked into the soil. A smell so unnatural that even Marcus, whose senses had dulled under enchantments, took a staggering step back and retched into the overgrown weeds.Emma's eyes welled up—not from emotion, but from the sharp, acrid smoke still hanging in the air. The buildings near the edge of the city were no longer homes. They were carcasses. Entire blocks were blackened skeletons, burned out and hollowed by fire, claw marks and the rage of something worse than war—panic.Steve stood frozen. “What happened while we were gone?”No one answered him, because no one could.The streets were not just abandoned—they were wrong. Cars stood parked with doors flung open. Blood painted windshields. One had small handprints smeared across the glass—too small to be adults. No movement. No sound

    Emma had her father's powers so she could see through his Chaos magic. The little time she had spent with Terra had showed her how to break and see through illusions."It is all a trick Steve," Emma said in a sad tone. "That is not your brother.""What?" Steve asked as he looked away from Grimkeeper."Your brother is here but he is not in prison or chained, Grimkeeper is just using your fears and bringing it to life," Emma revealed to him.Grimkeeper's growl caught their attention. "I do not appreciate the fact that you are getting in my way, daughter. Even though I do this for your own good. Did Terra not show you your fate?"Emma shook her head in disdain. "She only showed me the things that will happen if I let fear rule my heart. I have seen enough.""Emma, I am saving you from heart break, you will outlive him, watch him die, there is immortality in your blood, daughter," Grimkeeper said."That maybe so, but it is my life and not yours, I think I understand why you are doing all

    Terra’s whip-tail lashed the floor, sparks flying as its razor-sharp tip carved through stone. Her eyes glowed like twin embers, the smile gone from her lips. Now there was only cold intent."You shouldn’t have walked away, Emma," the succubus murmured, claws sliding out from her fingers with a wet snikt. “You’ve defied the Garden. Defied desire.”Emma dropped into a stance—legs shoulder-width apart, arms raised in a balanced curve. Her breathing slowed. Soma Fang. Ancient werewolf martial art. Rooted in grace, ends in devastation. Her wolf stirred under her skin—quiet, but burning with clarity.“I didn’t defy desire,” Emma said. “I chose reality.”Terra lunged first. A blur of pale limbs and tail. Her claws arced for Emma’s throat, but Emma twisted beneath them and sent a crushing elbow into Terra’s ribs. The succubus hissed, twisting her head, horns slicing through the air like obsidian blades.Emma barely ducked, somersaulted backward, and launched a lightning-fast Fang Spear—two-f

    Emma’s thighs clenched involuntarily. Her reflection was screaming in pleasure, being taken by Steve driving into her from behind, his hands holding her head, breasts, waist. He was worshiping her like a goddess, filling her every hole, every need, every fantasy. “I don’t…” Emma whispered, even as heat pooled between her legs. “You want to be devoured,” Terra whispered at her ear, now behind her. “You want to be fought over. Ruined. Made holy through pleasure.” “No, I—” But the mirror pulsed, and suddenly Emma wasn't watching anymore. She was inside. Black petals brushed her skin as she landed on all fours, her body naked and arched. A strong hand grabbed her hips—Steve’s growl echoed in her ear. “She’s ready,” he said. His cock pressed against her—thick, pulsing with heat. Steve entered her first, slow and punishing, his hands gripping her waist. Emma gasped. “Open for me,” he said in a voice like temple bells. She obeyed. The rhythm was brutal and beautiful. Each thrust f

    The crimson door creaked shut behind them, muffling the ragged breathing of the man who now lay unconscious on the velvet rug. Terra walked ahead, her golden tattoos glowing faintly under the infernal red light. Her heels clicked like war drums as she led Emma deeper into the heart of the Grim Floors.Emma's senses were overwhelmed—moans echoed faintly from behind darkened doors, the air was thick with incense, sex, and suffering. The healer in her reeled, but the werewolf in her… watched, hungry and curious.“Welcome to the feeding ground,” Terra said, spreading her arms wide as they emerged onto a balcony overlooking a vast arena below. The chamber stretched impossibly wide and tall—at the center, a gigantic black lotus floated above a pit of writhing bodies. Feeding platforms encircled the arena like theater boxes.“And what is this place?” Emma asked, her werewolf sight picking up glowing energies being drained from the bodies below and channeled into the black lotus.Terra licked

    The silence between them was suffocating."I am not leaving, Emma for any reason and certainly not because of you," Steve growled.Steve stared angrily at the towering, pale-skinned entity before him—neither demon nor god, neither dead nor alive. Grimkeeper’s long fingers trailed the edge of a glass case containing a rusted dagger wrapped in faded red cloth."What reasons make you think that I would ever leave Emma's side?" The Sterling werewolf demanded."Sit," Grimkeeper said softly, but it was not a suggestion. It was a command that made Steve's bones tremble.He obeyed, lowering himself onto a cold obsidian bench while Grimkeeper remained standing, his shadow stretching long across the marble floor like a living thing."You asked me for the reasons," Grimkeeper said, his voice low, haunting. "Let me give you a thousand."Steve did not respond. His jaw was tight, fists clenched on his lap. Every instinct screamed at him to walk away, but something ancient in Grimkeeper’s aura held
