"Tell me. what happened?" "He was attacked by some wild animal on his hiking trip..we are not sure what it is, but it's really bad and..." She pulled away, then cupped his cheek in her hands, her thumbs moving to wipe the tears away. "I am so sorry, Andrew. Don't cry. I am sure he will be fine." He swallowed, sniffing as he met her eyes. Looking at his reddened eyes only made her more worried, knowing how much of a jovial person he was.

The sigils beneath the city burned brighter—then began to warp, lines twisting out of alignment as my wolf rose fully awake inside me, ancient and furious. And far above, the blood moon crested the horizon, staining the sky red as the city held its breath. The hunt had begun.

Seeing this, Gluttony was the first to charge forward. Boom! His move was simple. With just a light swipe of his claw, several sky-tearing rips appeared in the air. The beasts caught in the impact zone were instantly torn into countless pieces, turning into a rain of blood. What clean and efficient kills! “Roar!” Briar roared and punched out, and numerous apparitions followed, attacking in groups and landing among the Snow Sand Sea monsters. After the rampage, only corpses and debris remained. Swoosh! Boom!

*Bram* Our paws pound the earth, lungs burning, muscles aching, claws slipping slightly in the damp soil, but we don’t slow until the distant boundary of Running River is far behind us. The forest thins, and the sky above is bruised with the fading light, streaks of gold and purple threading through the trees.

The boys arrived at the border after dusk. The rhinoceros beast, or rather, the Jagged Horn Beasts, took a lot more time than the usual monsters for them to handle. It wasn’t because of the Jaggedhorns only, but rather, the distractions from the Moostets. These furry and bigger sized meerkat like creatures were hopping around everywhere, trying to distract Jai and Darrion from the charging Jaggedhorns.

Grisha intentionally sent Alia to restraining the team to boost their morals. When they were ready with preparation, they all started moving toward the Beast territory.

The field was a vacant flatland, but because of the mist it was difficult to navigate through.

I could heard them stomping stomped frustratingly in the room, trying to catch me but only to kick themselves into the bedstead and curse in rage. In the darkness, I stumbled to steady myself from fear and pain. Then I felt someone held me up and wrapped me around in a warm hug. I can sense the heat against my body with a familiar scent of smoke and cologne. It was him! Before I could ask anything, strong winds started blowing in the room like a small-scale storm.

That is fascinating, child. Tell me what you know of these beasts.” “I do not know their secrets. They come and go at their choosing, venturing into the world of man for a time of blood, only to disappear into the trees once more when their violence is ended. That is the way of beastmen and the order of the Greymen.”

As she turned a corner, a scene unfolded before her eyes. There, amidst the flickering shadows, she witnessed a fierce battle between the rogues who had pursued her and an unexpected assailant. The wolf rogue fought with a massive wolf, his fur sleek and dark, a creature of power and majesty. Their clash echoed with the primal energy of two formidable forces locked in combat. Brianna's eyes widened as she beheld the spectacle, her mind racing with questions. Who is this wolf? Could he be her mate? The uncertainty hung in the air as she grappled with the enigma before her.

I didn't have any time to think, before my eyes, the impossible was happening. We had been left tied in the forest, one of the girls was crying and praying to the moon goddess to rescue us. I had never been so scared in my life, there’s no such thing as a beast, theres’s no such thing as a beast, theres’s no such thing as a beast was all i could keep saying in my head to hold it together. “D-do you guys…hear that?” Someone whispered, I think it was dennis.
