As he ran in the dark and eerie night, with the full moon shining through the thick canopy of trees, casting eerie shadows across the forest floor, he had no idea where he was going. He was a new recruit in Josh's team. Seemed like he bit more with the job than he could be chewing. The man ran through the woods, his heart pounding in his chest with every rustle of the leaves and snap of a twig. He could hear the distant sounds in the forest, sending chills down his spine.Suddenly, he heard a growl behind him and spun around, only to come face to face with a ferocious werewolf. Of course he didn't know what the thing was, furry and vicious,a huge bipedal beast. The creature stood towering over him with its razor-sharp claws and snarling jaws, warm drool dripping down his bared fangs. The man screamed in terror as the werewolf lunged at him, knocking him to the ground.He felt the sharp claws of the creature tear into his flesh, and he cried out in agony, convinced that he was about t
" Alright, pup, you're going to tell me everything you know from the beginning,starting with your pack." Ryan's voice was super calm but severe. One would think he was there for an opera performance. Perfectly poised. The werewolf just growled without uttering a single word. Ryan stood up then bent low. The werewolf yanked back into a human as his body crashed on the ground with a thud. He spit blood mixed with drool as a tooth fell in the little blood pool that he had spat out. Ryan's slap rang at his ear like thunder bolts as he yelped,collapsing back into a human"You're going to talk whether you like it or not!"Ryan roared, clasping his cheeks between two fingers, forcing open his mouth. The fierceness in his eyes suddenly changed it's hue. He constricted his eyes, trying to get a better view of what he saw inside. He trust his hand ferociously inside as the lad gagged with the force. He pulled out what was the remnants of his tongue as he kept protesting in his guttural vo
"Hold still, Tristen. This wound needs cleaning and stitching.I thought you were an Alpha, why are you whimperimg like a child? "Ryan roared, trying to hold Tristen down at the inn while the healer cauterized the first wound at his abdomen. Tristen winced as the healer tended to the wound. Ryan sat across on his chest, levitating while eyeing him suspiciously."So, Tristen, care to tell us how you managed to escape while the rest of your men fell to the Grey wolf hounds?"Tristen pulled his hand away from the healer's grip and eyed Ryan with counter suspicion. " Does my vulnerability give you the perfect opportunity to question me like this?"He snapped at Ryan. " Don't try to ignore me by giving this conversation another angle Tristen! " Ryan pinned him with his eyes. Tristen stood up, pushing the healer aside and held Ryan's collar differently. "What's your problem, Tristen? Why do you always have to pick a fight?Tristen winced in pain as he fell back,"You.My problem is you,
I sat there in his living room. None of the boys had returned, Ryan, Beck or Josh. Ryan had asked a few of his men to stand guard at the entrance but they were not allowed inside. So I was basically sitting there, sulking and doing nothing in particular. If was after sometime that Bellow joined me for the night. He tried offering me food and drinks. He was really kind and sweet. " Why don't you sit down and have a drink with me? It's just grape juice! It's good for your tummy! "I winked as I pulled him beside me. As I forced his mouth open to force fees him the juice, because he was so shy, I immediately let him go. I saw something that sank my heart to the pit of the sea. Bellow didn't have a tongue. Was that the reason all along why he didn't talk? I clearly saw a scar left behind in his mouth from where the muscles were cut off. He too back off, probably feeling shy. He was a shy boy. But this topic was more sensitive. " I'm sorry Bellow, I don't mean to meddle here, but
" He is already inside! "I bluntly said, taking the pot off the stove. " Already inside huh? "My words seemed to stimulate him. He looked at me with playfulness in his eyes. As if encouraging me to tease him on. I couldn't help but giggle as I saw Ryan go and sit on the couch after that. Then he began looking at me with a mixture of curiosity and mischief. I decided to have a little fun with him, so I walked up to him and leaned in close, making sure he could smell my perfume, pretending to fetch an ingredient that I didn't even need in my cooking. "What's up, Ryan?" I asked, batting my eyelashes. "You seem a little tense."Ryan rolled his eyes. "Don't start with me, Sherry. I know you're up to something."I grinned. "Me? Up to something? Whatever do you mean?" I twirled a strand of my hair around my finger and leaned in even closer. "Let's just say I have a little something planned for tonight and I am so excited. "Ryan raised an eyebrow. "A little something with who?Did all th
Ryan drove like his car would tear the road open with its force. It wasn't just his vehicle that wad racing, but his mind was too. He couldn't shake off the eerie resemblance even Sherry's words had with that of his Sherizad. ***The timing was just after the attack on Tristan's pack. Sherizad was on her way to report to her father. But she stopped midway. She stopped in the middle of delivering such an important news because she found a stray kid on the forest bed, lying on the cold ground and bleeding from his mouth as if he had been poisoned. " Midnight, there is no time to waste. You go ahead and report back to father. "She instructed, bending over the boy and checking for his pulse." On it, " Midnight bade her farewell before disappearing, " But be careful. The woods are not safe any longer, even for werewolves. "Sherizad nodded. Sherizad leaned in closer to inspect the boy's mouth, her heightened sense of smell detecting the coppery scent of blood. She noticed somethin
" Damn it! Damn! " He dealt two hard blows on the steering wheel which made the horn scream twice with the rhythm of his blows. " Why is it happening all over again? No! No! It's not the same. It's not the same thing! "He bent his head over the steering wheel this time as it's loud horn yanked, making the noises in his head fade a little. Two loud thuds over his car roof, made him look up. He signed and frowned as Beck and Josh decended from either sides. " How many times did I ask you not to damage my toys. "The two jumped in through the windows and said, " We went after him. He could barely walk after taking all that Wolfsbane. "" Ah, that Chong! He offered him Aconite as if it was beer! Go on. Tell me you found it's lair! "He asked. Both shook their heads, as Beck began, " He robbed a begger and went straight inside a phone booth and dialed someone. "A person showed up. He was human. The two of them were talking in sign language so we couldn't really make a lot out of t
As the ashes on the floor began to rearrange themselves, Ryan, Beck, and Josh watched in awe and disbelief. The letters formed a font that seemed to glow with an otherworldly light, as if imbued with ancient magic.The letters were sharp and angular, with intricate curves and loops that seemed to flow like a river of silver. Each character was etched in a delicate script, with lines so thin they were almost imperceptible. The font seemed to be alive, pulsing with an energy that emanated from the very heart of the script.Beck gasped, "What language is this? I've never seen anything like it before."Ryan was equally amazed. "It's definitely not any language I've ever encountered. It looks like it's from another dimension or something."Josh, the most skeptical of the three, spoke up. "Are you sure it's not just some kind of trick? Maybe it's just a bunch of random symbols that look like a language."But as they watched, the font continued to transform, with the letters coalescing into
