MARCUS P.O.VIt took one hour before we arrived on shore. Walking out of the ship, I was greeted by the sounds of laughter and celebration coming from all over the environment. It looked exactly like the Catalina Island I knew. A place where people almost don't sleep. It was obviously because not all of them are human.The cold evening breeze blew across me and right there was that scent. The fragrance of home, only that mixed with the corruption that spread throughout the atmosphere terror grasped me."Marcus, we have to go," Wilfred said. I glanced back at the civilians who were unloading their stuff from the ship. They were all going to make merry with their families and sneak into their brick houses. None of them is aware of the fierce battle that will range in the mountains very far away from here.I lifted my eyes towards the west. I started towards that direction where in the mountains lay, and also the secret of another life, the secret of the existence of other beings, beings
MARCUS P.O.V "What is the issue?" Ronald asked when he approached me outside. "I am not cut out for this. I have to take down Luther and that young man in there is getting on my nerves," I said.Ronald lifted his eyebrows as he looked away from me. "What is worse than a person losing his own sister?" "I lost both my parents too." "Yet you are going to take revenge against them but as for this young man, we were the ones who murdered his sister and he doesn't even know about it," Ronald whispered a little upset. I furrowed my eyebrows in uncertainty. "I thought you said he knows everything." "I said that so you can let us have things our way," Ronald answered. "He only knows we are connected to what happened that day. He suspects us so for us to reduce his suspicions we had to promise to help him find who murdered his sister." I ran my hand through my hair as soon as I heard that. It all made sense now. "You have to trust us on this. We know we have to stop Luther but we must f
MARCUS P.O.V In order to redeem some time we all transformed into a werewolf as he raced heading to the pack cave. It took several minutes and finally we arrived.I shape-shifted back to my human form as I watched from behind the rocks with Wilfred and Ronald. "Things have changed since my last visit here," I whispered, while staring at the few werewolves who were keeping watch at the entrance."Yes, Luther’s rule is terrible. Everyone in the pack knows but no one dared speak against him openly because they were all afraid," Wilfred answered."We can't go in head on, we have to look for a safer passage," Ronald glanced sideways at me."You are right, but this cave doesn't have any safer passageway. We will have to take down the watchers," I replied."How do we do that? Should we kill them?" Ronald asked."No, they are still members of our tribe so all we have to do is knock them out. Luther is the only person I want," I replied."Okay, what's your plan?" Wilfred said."We will have
MARCUS P.O.V I couldn’t believe it. How could they be so foolish to have their own Luna caged in that manner. She was just like their queen and she loved and treated them equally as if they were her own children.'How could they do this to her?' I thought to myself in grief."Are you sad? Well you don't have to be, I would have killed her earlier but seeing her put her hope on you that you were still alive hurt my feelings," Luther said. He waved at the other packs and they dropped the cage returning to their posts."I didn't kill her earlier because I wanted her to watch her only son die. When her last hope is taken away then she will beg for me to take her own life too," He said then burst out laughter."Let's end this here. You and me, let's finish it while we spare the lives of these ones," I said to him.He wagged his head in disagreement. "As much as I would like that, I am not stupid enough to fight you. I will let my pack kill you themselves.""Marcus, run away. You can't fig
MARCUS P.O.V I saw the wide smile on Luther's face. I knew this was what he wanted, to see my father's pack destroyed. He wanted to set up a fight between us and watch us rip ourselves apart.I looked away from his seat to Gaius who was staring at me. I knew he was looking for the perfect time to strike."Go on Marcus, you can stop him," Alicia said.I glanced back at her and by the time I looked forward Gaius was already standing one inch close to me. He threw a punch to my face but to my surprise I didn't even quiver.I saw the shock in his eyes as he tried a second time but this time I caught his fist squashing it in my palm. He yelled as he fell on his knees. When the pack saw this they all quivered in fear. "I am not the same now, Gaius," I said. He punched me severally on my body but there was not a single effect. He tried shape-shifting to set himself loose but it was still impossible. My grip was so strong that he could not break free."I don't want you, all I want is him,"
MARCUS P.O.V“I don’t regret it, I don’t regret doing all I’ve done,” Luther said. “I wish I had done more. I should have killed you when I had the chance.”I watched the lack of remorse in his eyes. It was unfortunate that even in the face of death his heart was still hard as stone.“Do you think that the thing you bore with the catalyst will grow up to become loving and kind? No he won’t. The more he ages the more he discovers the darkness lurking underneath his heart,” Luther added, he chuckled softly then groaned in pain.I watched him for a while. “I know…”“You know nothing, Marcus,” Luther interrupted.“I understand that the darkness will try to cease him as days go by but Alicia and I will be present to lead him. We will nurture him in the right way and instead of bringing doom, our son will bring peace,” I said.“Fantasy…” Luther said, his lips wobbling in an annoying manner while watching me. “We will wait and see how he will turn out. Do you think that I am the only enemy y
MARCUS P.O.VLast night the pack lost their Luna, they were left without anyone to put their hopes on since I have not yet decided to take the place of my father as leader of the pack. I miss her so much, but I couldn’t help but hope that right now she is with Harold.I had just one more thing to confirm. I had to find out my father’s will, I had to find Lucas Wayne and retrieve the briefcase my father left me because only that case will determine if I will take up the position as leader of the pack or not.For the meantime, Flynn and Rina resided still in Catalina Island with Alicia, Maxwell and the rest of my father’s pack. Kelvin was still unconscious but it was certain that he would recover.When the sun came up I left the house with Ronald and Wilfred. We took a vehicle heading back to camp where we left Daniel. Upon our arrival we found him still lying unconscious on the floor.Wilfred and Ronald put him on the chair. “We have three minutes more before he regains consciousness,”
MARCUS P.O.VIt took over an hour before we arrived at the city on Catalina Island. Everyone was having fun as usual. It was unlike what I expected. I expected to hear rumours flying around about the riotous sounds coming from the mountains but from what I can see, it’s evident that the sounds of chaos never crossed to this territory.“We are pretty lucky,” Ronald voiced the thought in my mind. “I can’t imagine what would have happened if they all heard those aggressive and riotous battles which occurred last night.”“Sure,” I said, then looked down at our feet. “Come, we have to change these shoes,” I said. I took them to a cloth shop on the island and I bought a change of dress and also new pairs of shoes for myself and the both of them.We freshened up in a hotel, changed our outfit and afterwards we left to the shore to book a ship heading to California. Luckily there were a few reserved seats so we took the ride. As estimated, it was going to take us an hour before we arrived on
