“The two candidates stand before the council of elders,” Brynn’s voice sounded cold. Both candidates stood before the council of elders, their families seated beside the elders.“Now I’m scared, mother,” Ingrid said, looking at Bianca, “This man is a psychopath, he kills for fun.”“How could Brynn allow this?” Bianca asked, with a worried look, while she clenched her fists.“Before you start, I must state the rules: Candidates must fight in their fully shifted werewolf form. No external weapons of any kind, no use of any form of magic or magical objects. No external interference of any kind, and most importantly, no deathblows. The goal is incapacitation or submission, not death. The trial ends only when one of the candidates physically submits, or is rendered fully incapacitated and can no longer continue.” Brynn said.Theodore and Lucius looked at each other, and Lucius gave a death smirk. He looked desperate to win, even if it meant breaking the rules.“Now listen to this essentia

Bianca barged into Theodore’s room, with Ingrid following behind, while Theodore covered his wounds with a bandage.“Oh my child,” Bianca walked with speed towards Theodore, who was sitting on the bed. “Why not have the doctor check you out and treat your wounds? You shouldn’t be doing this yourself.”“I’m fine, mum. Besides, it’s just a scratch, and don’t forget that we heal faster than normal,” Theodore looked at Ingrid, who was now standing close to him, with a worried look. “Why do you look like you are the one who fought? You’re such a mess.”Ingrid playfully hit his hand,“Ow!”“Sorry about that,” She looked at him, “I thought I was going to lose you, your mother, and I were so worried about you.”“She’s right, son. We were all worried.” Bianca said.“Including dad?” Theodore asked, “I bet he wasn’t. He was probably bothered about me not being able to prove myself, rather than my well-being.”“Don’t say that about your father; he loves you very much,” Bianca said.“Congratulatio

“A billion dollars,” Bianca said, just as she heard Brynn lock the bedroom door behind him.“The earrings were the only ones of their kind. The gemologists who found the stone had offered to sell the stone to us at a billion dollars, because they knew that only Brynn’s family could offer you good money for the right value.” Bianca continued, with her back still turned to Brynn and her front facing the window.“We had the stone made into a beautiful set of earrings by the renowned Lapidary to give to Azalea on her eighth birthday. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out because a day of celebration suddenly turned to a day of mourning.” Bianca caressed the little clothes she held, which belonged to a child. “The earrings were put away, given back to the gemologist, who kept them. Rumor has it that no one was able to buy it because of the insane price he placed on it.”Her head fell, “So I put a call through to the gemologist to get me the earrings, and what was told was that it had been sent

Theodore stood tall, as Azalea sat on the floor, looking up at Theodore in anticipation, and just then, he started.He dropped his head in silence for a few seconds, and this alone made Azalea worried.“Theo?” She called out, and suddenly, his head snapped back up, and this time, Theodore didn’t look human.His eyes were deformed, as if they were changing colors.Azalea opened both her eyes and mouth wide, in awe of what was manifesting in front of her.She watched as his bones popped, separating and merging.Fur engulfed his whole body, and his hands gradually became claws; his face slowly metamorphosed into an animal’s, with a snout and sharp fangs. His eyes were now flaming golden eyes.“Wow!” Azalea whispered, totally blown away by the sight before her.Her brother was standing tall, half human and half wolf. She saw the fierce look in his eyes and how powerful he appeared.“How’d you do that? I want to do it too.” She screamed out, unable to bear her excitement, and it was enough

Pacific Northwest, Oregon, the High Keep mansion.Brynn and Luke were heading out of the mansion to a business meeting, and just then, Theodore walked into the mansion, heading towards the father.“Son,” Brynn said, “Seems like you won’t be accompanying me to the meeting like I asked earlier.”“It’s called a board meeting for a reason, and I’m not up for being bored to death.” Theodore said, looking away from his father, “Besides, I am going out with Ingrid today.”“That woman isn’t good for you, Theodore. She should be lifting you, not leashing you,” Brynn said. “She practically has you wrapped around her fingers. I never trained you this way.”“You have no right to decide for me, Dad.” Theodore looked at Brynn. “And the point of correction is, you didn’t train me. You stopped showing up after Azalea died, and the only person who stayed with me all these years was Ingrid. The last time I recalled, you now have another daughter, so why not take her with you and leave me alone as usual
