Chris' PoV
Now that the silver cage has been hacked and unlocked by me, the beta standing before me was shocked and frozen. As for myself, instead of waiting for him to welcome me out I just sighed and slowly exited the uncomfortable and cramped cage. Just as I stood up, I turned my gaze towards the beta wondering when he would finally come out of his daze, but I guess he may still be in shock of all the things happening. And to be honest, they may want to rethink their underground prison, I mean this may have been the easiest cage I've ever escaped from.
Now that I was finally out of that cage and knowing that the beta was still in a daze, I thought this may be a good opportunity to escape however from the battle a moment ago, I could tell if I run now, I'll be caught nearly immediately unless if I use some of my powers however if I do that, it may later backfire.
The reason for this is because within the supernatural kingdom, every single supernatural being is either born with the nature of light or darkness.
Those born within the light are known to be gifted with magic.
On the other hand, those born with the dark spirit energy have unbelievable strength, speed, and power. However, to sustain these powers, it can also come with several restraints. For example, a vampire requires consumption of blood to gain enough power, strength, and speed. Without it, they can go berserk and be killed off since their soul is now being consumed by darkness whereby, they cannot return to their original state before going berserk. Furthermore, their only weakness is a dagger through the heart which causes them to fall into slumber but not die.
And as for werewolves, we must find our fated partner (our mate) in order to regain our full strength, without them or when our mates die, the werewolf themselves would go berserk and inevitably lead to death although some werewolves can be lucky and find a second chance mate or if they have a really strong mind, they are able to hold out the pain from their mate's death or even if they were in denial, this can also stop the occurrence of going berserk. But for how long is dependent on a case-by-case scenario.
And as for those born with light spirit energy, they are loved by nature therefore they can use elemental powers which are gifted to them and can be used if they have enough magic energy within their body. If the energy is depleted, they can feel intensely fatigued but a few days of rest or consumption of potions can easily treat it.
However, there are cases of supernatural beings with mixed spirit energy such as witches and warlocks who have high intelligence and the ability to form potions and medicines providing increased physical strength, agility, speed and so on within a specific time frame. These beings are also able to use magic, however they are not gifted to them like those born with light spirit, instead they borrow it from the nature surrounding them and the type of power used can be limited depending on the supernatural's compatibility to those specific elements. Furthermore, they don't have the ability like those gifted to pure born supernatural and they don't have the ability to transform or have amazing physical ability buffs like those born with dark spirits energy.
So overall, those with mixed blood can be said to not be regarded as either of the two genes. And that is the reason why witches and warlocks normally travel alone and live-in solitude because they believe they don't fit in anywhere.
And out of these three types, the mixed bloods are the rarest.
Now coming back to why I should not use my powers, well…. Out of all the three categories, I seem to be born with both dark and light spirit energy. I first thought I would be a mixed blood since I have both types however, I have the ability of the dark spirit energy whereby I can transform into a wolf which a mixed blood cannot accomplish. Furthermore, I can use magic without borrowing it from nature or spirits, I am able to use a lot of different elements, not just those gifted to me.
So overall, I do not know which category I truly belong to or maybe I belong to all. Either way, since this is so rare, if I reveal it to strangers, I may be seen as a freak or a threat that must be eliminated therefore, I shouldn't use my magic especially when I don't know who or where I truly am. Even if I used magic, I am unsure of the true escape route so I might as well pretend to abide and follow their lead before I get the right chance to make my escape.
Now, going back to the current scenario, I looked around the underground prison I was locked up in, it was basically a small room with several silver cages, many of which were filled with blood which was expected since all the rouges here went berserk so it may have taken a while to fight them and then transport them over. In some cases, by storing them within silver cages, their werewolf side would be weakened and there is a possibility of getting their human consciousness back; however, there is no guarantee that this would work on every single werewolf. However, whether they live is unknown, the only reason why some packs keep the rogues are to ask questions of why they entered their pack territory and then the alpha or the person in charge would decide whether the rogue gets to live or die. And even if the rogue was released, they won’t live long if their resolve is weak.
Now, other than the silver cages, there is a table at the far end near the entrance to the underground prison containing whips, silver knives, wolfsbane and many other weapons harmful to werewolf kind alongside other things that also work on other supernatural beings as well.
And as for the room itself, well it was quite dull and dark, there were no windows or fresh air, the whole atmosphere was deadly and bloody. The air smelt of iron and agony which was not something I like.
But then again prisoners within supernatural society which are not in our pack are never treated well so I shouldn’t be expecting much.
Now averting my attention from the surroundings to the beta, I still see him deep in thought and instead of waiting, I decided to wave my hand in front of his face. Despite it being disrespectful, I did try coughing, but no answer was heard from him, so this is my last resort.
And as expected, this cut him out of his deep thought process, however he must have thought I was about to attack as he grabbed onto my hand that was swinging in front of his eyes and then looked at me, “what are you doing?” he asked whilst I sighed, “Didn’t you want to take me to your alpha?” I questioned whilst he nodded, “Then what are you waiting for?” I said calmly.
The beta looked at me from top to bottom maybe wondering why I wasn’t scared before signalling the men outside to come in.
As the metal door opened, two men walked in, one of them handed a black piece of cloth to the beta who then approached me, “Now, listen carefully. I would blindfold you and take you towards our alpha. When you are there, you must not be disrespectful and answer the questions he poses or else you may lose your life, got it?” the beta questioned whilst I scoffed at him, “does he even know who I am?” I questioned internally knowing I am not that weak.
But from the beta’s tone, I could tell this pack is no ordinary pack. And that their alpha may be someone powerful since they are blindfolding me, meaning they must want to keep this place or more specifically their alpha a secret. Or the blindfold could just be something used to hinder my sight so I don’t see the layout of the place which if I later escape or something, I cannot come back and attack them if I were an enemy. But they have miscalculated again if that was their purpose since I have quite a high hearing sense and my direction isn’t bad either, I could easily know their pack’s internal layout without using my eyes.
Nevertheless, I just nodded in reply to the beta and allowed them to blindfold me.
And with that, we finally exited the dark and hellish smelling room as we made our way towards the so-called alpha’s place.
Chris' PoV As we exited the dark room, we made our way through a long corridor. The beta positioned at the front whilst the two guards positioned close behind me on either side making a wonderful triangular shape with me in the middle. Overall, I was basically locked in with no escape or that is what they thought. As we kept on walking, around 5 minutes later, a banging sound was heard catching everyone's attention causing us to a halt. As everyone gazed their attention towards the direction the sound was coming from, they must have mind linked each other until I felt the presence of the beta walking away whilst the two guards kept their position on either side of me before asking me to walk on. Believing this was a great opportunity to escape, I waited until I felt the presence of the beta to be far away before I made my move. Considering the two guards' structure and ability, I shouldn’t have a problem slipping under their noses and making a suc
Chris' PoV “Where am I?” I thought to myself as I looked around the place. The room was quite large and very fancy, the bed massive and comfortable, next to my bedside was a small cupboard with a lamp on top. To the right of me, there seems to be some wardrobes alongside a door which I guess leads to the bathroom. To the left side of the bed was a window and from the looks of it, it was already morning. Further alongside the window I saw a warm fireplace alongside it was a desk. There were also a few accessories and decorative antiques lying around the place and as for the walls, it was white with some fancy floral patterns. Now, I am certain this is not my pack or any other places I know of. Quickly I touched my head to ensure my hood was still on, scared that my appearance was revealed but luckily it was still on my head. It would be a disaster if someone found out what I looked like since they can later track me down with it. Taki
~Back to the night before Chris escaped from the beta and the two guards~ Leon’s PoV Sitting on my office chair, scanning through piles after piles of work papers as the night dulls and the moon shines brightly within the sky, the whole room was silent, the only thing you could hear was pen on paper. After what seems like hours of work, I finally came to a holt. Checking that everything was signed and ready to go, I then made my way outside to get some fresh air. On my way out I was greeted by several people, many of which were those on patrol. Seeing how everything was normal, I decided to take a quick stroll near the borders. As I was on the way there, I could hear several commotions within the forest, unsure what it was I decided to head my way there, and just as I did, I could smell a nice scent, it was a scent that was unexplainably soothing and comfortable, it was something that I felt like I could be addicted to. Just as my thought wondered, I
Chris's PoV The trickling sound of blood went down the silver chains handcuffed to my arms and legs. My face hidden within my hair but anyone who saw me would see an abused little girl around the age of 6-7 on the brick of death. Suddenly the door started to slowly creak open revealing a man in a mask coming closer towards me. Stopping before the metal table with his most beloved equipment to put me once again into misery. As he looked over at my sorry state, I could tell he was smiling underneath his mask, he was basically enjoying torturing me as he hovered his hands back and forth before deciding on the method of approaching me. Just as his eyes landed on something to his fancy, he stopped walking
Leon' s PoV Ring Ring Ring The alarm goes off indicating the start of a new day. And 3 hours until the Midnight pack members come. Seeing that it's only 7am I decided to get changed and went downstairs to be greeted by my mother. “How are you feeling?” My mother sweetly asked I smiled, “I'm fine” not wanting to worry her. “Are you nervous” she asked. With that I thought to myself, I'm not the nervous type but for some reason my wolf is really hyped up, so I just half nodded. Afterwards she handed me a tray of bacon, eggs, and beans along with a cup of warm milk. After I ate, I went outside to see everyone was either training or on duty whilst the children played around. “How is everything going along” I asked my beta “Everything is prepared and waiting for their arrival” he replied, “And what about the other matter?” I questioned. My beta shook his head whilst I sighed and then dismissed him.
Leon's PoV I was walking around in the forest and suddenly I sensed a strong chocolate and strawberry scent that was close by, my wolf told me to go and find it so that was what I did. I used my senses and ran at the top of my wolf speed to reach the place the scent manifested from to not let it escape again. As I ran past trees after trees, I was at the edge of the territory borders where there was a river, and a wolf was lying next to it. The first thing that came to my mind was that the wolf wasn't from our pack and that I should be cautious just in case it was a rouge but for some reason I'm attracted to it, the same feeling I had a month ago but for some reason this time my emotions was much stronger and more vivid. As the tiny wolf laid down and closed its eyes, knowing that they fell asleep with their steady breathing, I edged out and slowly approached them to not alarm them. As I reached closer the scent also became stronger. And that was when
Leon's PoV Laying down on my bed, not knowing why today’s bed felt so comfortable and soft, I turned my body facing the right as I moved by left hand over hugging onto a long, soft, and warm pillow. With my mind still half asleep I did not wonder how or where this comforting and sweet-scented pillow came from but instead pulled it closer. Just as I tried doing so, I heard a sweet and attractive moan come from the pillow. Now confused not knowing whether I was mishearing something or not, my consciousness soon recovers as I began to recall last night’s event. With that I came into realisation I don’t have a long pillow in my bed as I suddenly opened my eyes wide to find instead of a pillow, it was a warm body next to me who was calmly sleeping within my embrace as I felt happy and delighted. Here, I suddenly questioned myself whether this was a dream or a reality as I tried pinching my cheek
Chris' PoV Hoping whatever that I am about to see when I open my eyes were just my imagination. I tried to calm myself down and began to recall last night’s event until everything suddenly came back to me. Remembering that I was originally in my allocated room alongside my other pack mates until someone barged into my room and grabbed me before abducting me away from my friends and into his own room before enveloping me tightly in a hug and wouldn’t let go and without knowing I fell asleep until now. And as you all know, that specific someone I was talking about was the Thunder Wolf Pack’s notorious alpha rumoured to be cruel, merciless, and cold hearted. Someone who was described as a devil that doesn’t know how to love. Looking up, I see the big bad alpha everyone’s been talking about and for some unknown reason I don’t think the rumour were true and regardless of whether it was true or not I would rather see with my own two eyes befor
