The Last Alpha

My body perceives the moonlight, it is like a thin cascade of water that crosses my skin, I tremble when I feel it for the first time, my back arches and my body begins to ache inordinately, the bones break and a strange fur forms around my body, the first thing I do after writhing from the pain, is howl, howl loudly at the moon. The flames chase me, the fire that consumed my entire home chases me in a brutal and unbridled way, it does not stop, even when the snow continues to fall, even when the night is so beautiful, the fire manages to persist in that horrific scene. I can hear the guns firing, the screams of the people behind me, the screams of those who were once my parents and were beginning to transform into horrible beasts, just as I was. I could see in the dark, smell, and hear more clearly, I was stronger and much faster, but not immune to bullets, I was not entirely indestructible, and less so when it came to silver. I run as fast as I can, on my four legs, my thick fur

Victor narrates. "Victor it is disgraceful of you to go around threatening poor men like these," I can hear my father say as I point a gun at him, at the very man I was supposed to leave alive. "Beg," I command the man kneeling in front of me. He lets out a cry that I find as pleasurable as the day I started doing what my father had so kindly taught me to do. "Joshua I will pay everything I owe—I promise—I just need more time, more time and I can pay it all back!" stammers the same man holding the barrel of my gun to his temples several times. My father laughs a little sitting in a wooden chair. "you told me the same thing last month and the month before last, I was watching you Fabricio, you were spending your money on whores and gambling, but not on paying off the same debt you got yourself into," my father clarifies as he lights a cigarette with his green tinder, the stupid green color he likes so much. "Joshua—see that I can explain!" he said in fright. I could smell his d

Victor narrates.It was the first time I feel her heart dominated by emotion, her pulse was accelerated and her cheeks full of tears, I should have stopped, that's not very good of me, trying to comfort a woman. But with her look, I could see her well in the darkness of her room, she reminded me of me my worst moments, I just wanted a hug and I gave it to her, still, she rejected me, I shouldn't have felt so hurt or even cared, but it bothers me and at the same time I feel guilty.She overpowered me from one moment to the next with that cry, that woman whose smell was almost impossible for me to perceive, she made me suffer for a moment.I must be delirious.I thought all that after closing the door of her room and sitting aside in the darkness of the corridor, I put my hands to my head and continued overwhelmed by everything that had happened, I can hear her crying clearly, I hate to have my senses so sharp at this moment.

 Elizabeth narrates.I get out of the car in front of the small rural house where three children are running around the outskirts towards where I am. They were my brothers, I was full of surprise, they could recognize me even though I had been gone for so long.My mother comes out of the place with a bruise on her eye, I was sure that Dad had caused it, I had recently arrived at the place and I was already surprised that my father was probably being more liberal than usual.I was used to those things, but to be honest, I preferred my dysfunctional house to Victor's touch on my skin, that man had an evil aura and I was sure it was better that way, Victor in his huge mansion abusing his maids and me in my house being beaten by my father, I considered staying in a hotel, but I knew that my mother was having a little more work than usual, because my father was the head of the town, what he earned was spent on liquor and she couldn't cle

 Elizabeth narrates. I had planned days ago how to take my mother and the children from the place because one of the small children had a recital on the outskirts of the town where we lived. I would pay for a cab and we would continue until we could leave the place, pretending that we went to the recital, my father had not arrived at that time to the house, and it was very difficult to throw him off, we had our bags ready and I had even prepared an incredible explanation to the policemen who worked for him to throw them off any recurring thoughts. He had it all planned out. "Kids hurry up the car will soon come to pick us up" I informed him as we finished taking the suitcases out to the porch. My mother wasn't too sure about the decision I had made, but I didn't care, the only thing I cared about was that my siblings wouldn't have the same thing happ
