"Think, Ghino! Better think before Big Boss, Victor, or whatever his name is, and his ready-to-kill werewolves get back to the mansion." I uttered profanity to myself as my wolf puffed out a heavy load of worrying air from my mouth and nose. We already stayed enough in the mansion yet I haven't saved Nathan yet. Perhaps Big Boss and his wolves are on their way to the mansion, knowing it would be impossible that no one from his wolves with us had reported the incident. With just a tap of anyone's fingers on the phone, they can notify Big Boss about the surprising invasion. Not to mention I have seen only less than thirty wolves around out of the hundreds that I sensed before we invaded them. After buffing out the cold air, my preoccupied brain, little by little, started to ease off. All my senses were cleared out, eased off, and nothing was left but the continuous sound of impeccable silence, allowing me to hear the sounds of nature. The sound was too benign; deaf

"Do you think you can defeat me, huh? You may be powerful now, Ghino, but I have been one for hundreds of years. Look around you." Big Boss announced with a proud smile on his face. His wicked laughter shivered through the hair on the back of my neck and then cascaded down on every corner of my backbone. Around us were hundreds of thousands of innocent dead bodies piled up and lying on the ground, all lifeless, including the students and professors in our school, my friends, Nadine, Edwin, and Jackson while Nathan was held in his right hand and thrown his body to his left hand again and again like a toy. Those hundreds of thousands of innocent lives had cut off arms and legs. Headless. And hearts ripped off. The colour of the sky reddened as it reflected the colour of the blood that flooded the surface of the earth. "They all died in my hands, Ghino. Did you help any of them?" his wicked laughter continued. This time, it sounded like a bolt of thunder and piercing lig

Then he rested his head above the building, pointing his eyes to those other Russian wolves removing the previous name of the school. Nathan and I also exchanged bothered glances. So, I was thinking. Was it a mere coincidence that Victor bought the school right after Roger and his wolves agreed to hide underneath those tunnels which we think would be safe for them to stay in? Part of me wanted to run with Nathan to the tunnels to inform Roger about the unexpected news that greeted us that morning. However, if we are going to do that in the middle of the school renovation, a few Russian wolves might see us since one of the main entrances to the tunnels was located in the parking lot. And in the parking lot, my eyes can see a few of Victor's wolves roaming around. If they keep staying longer in the parking lot, I'm afraid the secret entrance would unfold, especially when Roger or anyone from his wolves would head out. "Don't worry, alpha Victor also added that no one

"What do you think, Ghino?" Nathan asked. "Well. Not that I don't like the idea, but we have to ask them first. We need their thoughts too. Melissa and her mum died in Big Boss' hands. For me, it's too early for Vladimir to get back to his position as president. I'm not even sure if he already moved on with that nightmare of his life or had he mourned their death already. Someone with no straight thinking, might do something aggressive and start a war between two countries." Edwin and Nathan were put into silence as we continued walking through the dark tunnels, thinking about what I said. Though I did not get the chance to talk to Vladimir, not because I had something to say but because he was the president. I don't know if someone like me is allowed to get close or talk to him. After a few minutes of tailing everyone's scents, we arrived at their hidden place. Nathan handed over twenty plastic bags full of bread rolls and bottles of water we bought from the school ca

"Shit. Someone wants to sabotage the mission." I muttered to Nathan but my glimmering eyes were sharply pointed at Roger and his daughter. The only piece of information I shared with Nathan was that we're heading to see Scott Mccall in a small town in San Francisco. "So, you were saying it was us who sabotage this mission?" Roger made it clear through my sharp eyes. "Are you kidding us, Ghino? Have you ever forgotten that it was you who first disobey the mission by bringing Nathan with us?" "So, you were saying, your daughter is part of this too? Don't just come clean if you're obeying what was in the plan, Mr Roger. And besides, you and Big Boss come from the same origin." This time, the tone of my voice changed. "Excuse me?" his daughter added. "How dare you accuse my father and me like that, Ghino? We've done a lot in this battle against them. And haven't you forgotten it was Nathan's kind heart who turned Victor into the monster he is now? Don't make me believe tha
