Chapter 42; Human RealmWhen Megan was 1 year and 6 months into the pregnancy, KuLaa made her go through a ritual where she spent every full moon sleeping in a circle drawn on the deck or by the stern of the ship, depending on which side the moon was hanging. This ritual was to help her balance out her strength since she had stopped absorbing external essences. This ritual went on until the day Megan went into labor. Fortunately for her, it was on a full moon. KuLaa was so happy. According to her, it was a sign that the Moon mother favored Megan and her cubs. The labor was difficult and long. It took Megan three days to push out the cubs and in those three days, KuLaa, through her magic, made sure the Moon never stopped shining and when the cubs arrived, she made sure the sun didn't set for another seven days. She made mother and babies stay up in the sun, rain, and Moon for seven good days before allowing them to retire back to their room. On those seven days, several rituals were

Chapter 44; You are being watched!“What did you find out?” Steven, a lean but sturdy young man in his late forties, asked Joe, his short and robust partner, who had just stepped out of the administrative building of the City's secretariat. Steve was sitting behind the wheel of a black van eating fries when Joe joined him with an absent look on his face. They had received the order to bring in a young werewolf who was hiding away in some remote village and before setting out, they had visited the city's secretariat to see if they could find some files related to the werewolf. “It's a family of four. A set of twins and their parents. There should be four wolves unless the boy was adopted.” Joe snorted, displeased about something but not saying more. “Fat chance.” Steve chuckled. “That means we have to pick up extra muscles.” He pointed out. “With Amie, we should manage just fine, don't you think?” Joe asked, giving Steven a deep look.Steven paused, his hand that was taking some f

Chapter 46; Your enemies are mine too!“KuLaa ignored Amoux and turned to Alice. “Bring them in”“Yes, my liege.”Once Alice went out, the only sound that could be heard in the room was the sound of Megan and Ainar's sobs. After some minutes, KuLaa's face grimaced in annoyance. She couldn't stand Megan's tears again. “Megan!” KuLaa snapped. Megan winced at the sound of her name on KuLaa's lips but looked up with teary, dejected eyes. When she saw the disdain in KuLaa's eyes, she accepted it. Believing she deserved it. After all, KuLaa had done everything for them until now. She gave them a good life among good humans and wolves. But what did they do in return? They brought ruin and tragedy to the peace-loving people of Lockwood. The guilt she felt was heavy, and Megan wished someone would punish her. She was feeling guilty because Ryan had suggested that they look into how the amusement park handled the case. But because they had done exactly that for many years and nothing had happ

Chapter 48; Saint's betrayal.KuLaa turned to Scott, who was as still as a lake of water. “Why did Adolph give you a tattoo?” She asked. “To find my sister.”KuLaa nodded as her eyes darted at Megan. Megan trembled at this revelation. Her eyes got clouded with killing intent. “Why did you betray your family?” KuLaa continued to ask. “To get my freedom.”KuLaa snorted at this reply and then released Scott from her hypnotic spell. The moment he was released, Scott stumbled backward, trying to get as far away from KuLaa as possible. He was scared shitless. Just now, he felt his will locked up in his body. No matter how much he fought it, he couldn't stop himself from obeying every command KuLaa gave. Now that everyone knew his secrets, he also didn't know how to look this family in the face. “But why?” Oliver's sad voice reached Scott. Surprisingly, that question instantly flared up in his anger. “But why not?” Scott got on his feet and snapped back at his father. Oliver was shoc

Chapter 50; Reunion “Screeeeeeech!!!” Just when Alice wanted to signal that they should surround Adolph, they all head KuLaa scream in pain. All the vampires turned towards the scream with ugly faces. “You should worry about yourselves first. Your leader can take care of herself.” Adolph mocked as he stepped forward. He then raised his right hand up and waved it forward. “Go?” He said with a low voice, but everyone heard him. Immediately, all the werewolves behind him instantly transformed and howled before they pounced forward, completely ignoring Alice and her group. Their targets were the True Bloods behind them. “Go?” Alice also ordered, and all the vampires behind her released their claws and canines. Their eyes turned serpentine as they clashed with the werewolves. With the first clash alone, the battlefield was upturned, but nobody cared. It was an all out contest of strength and tact. Away from the fight between the followers of Alice and Adolph, the others surrounded Ad
