Nicklaus POV
“You know you look sexy whenever you get angry.” She blushed, and I kissed her cheek, saying, “Get ready, family. Today is going to be fun-filled, I assure you.”
“Yes, Daddy, I can’t wait,” my little angel said with her beautiful smile, and I zoomed off. I normally drive at high speed, but I had to drive at the regular speed so I would not scare my family.
I started sensing something bad, but it was already too late for me because the person who fired my car’s tires was fast, and I had to struggle with the wheel of my car. I must not let harm come to my family; I will use all I have to stop this car.
“Don’t be scared; I will protect you all,” I said to give them hope. She instructed our daughter to close her eyes. Why today, out of all days? Today was supposed to be fun and also creating beautiful memories with my family, but instead, we are getting attacked. Is there someone giving out information that I have no idea about?
They shot the tire again, and I got scared. “Lethal, what am I going to do? My family, I can’t get control of the wheel.”
“We will survive it at all costs; we must,” he said, and the car moved on its own without my control of the wheel, and we ended up crashing into a big tree.
I was badly injured, and it will take some time for me to heal. I noticed some presence around me, and I got shot with a dose to make me weak and sleep as well.
The last thing I saw was them taking my wife and daughter, and my eyes ended up closing.
I woke up feeling so weak and unable to trigger my healing process and access my wolf form as well; they used the wolfsbane and silver on me.
“Who are you, and what do you want from me? Let my family go, and do anything you want to do with me.”
“I don’t want you to die, but I want you to live in pain after I am done killing your wife and daughter.”
“Don’t harm them. You are not from the Black Moon pack, neither are you from the Silver Moon pack. What pack are you from, and what do you want from me?” I questioned, and he bent to the ground, saying, “Truly, those who are the cause of our pains can easily forget and move on, happy with their newfound family, while the victims are the ones left with the pains in our hearts. You are doomed now I have caught you and your family. I won’t spare any of them because you never spared my elder brother, you monster.” He yelled at me and stood on his feet.
I have killed so many in my past life, but I just can’t remember him or his elder brother he is talking about. I am too weak to communicate with Mateo for help. What do I do now?
“I have killed so many in my past life, but I just can’t remember him or his elder brother he is talking about. I am too weak to communicate with Mateo for help. What do I do now?
“Do you really not remember my brother? You killed him six years ago. Does that ring a bell?” He asked, looking at me with hatred, and his eyes revealed he was ready to kill everyone I cared for just to get revenge.
“I’m sorry; I really can’t remember your elder brother I killed. But trust me, I don’t kill for fun. Maybe your brother did something wrong, and I had no other choice but to kill him.”
“Shut up.” He hit me with the silver chain. I screamed because I hate silver; it harms us werewolves. The reason he wasn’t affected was that he was wearing gloves.
“You have no right to say that to me. My brother deserves a chance to live; everyone deserves a second chance. You owe him an apology.”
“If an apology is all you want, then I can do it, but you have to let my family go,” I added.
“Do you think saying sorry is enough? I’m going to kill your wife and daughter so they can accompany my brother wherever he is, and both of us will live our lives in pain,” he added.
“Revenge is not the best answer you need now. Let’s make things work again. I may not remember who your brother was, but killing my wife and daughter will never bring him back to life,” I added, and he used the chain on me again. I cried out the second time. At this rate, it seems I am getting him angry, and it will do me no good since I am not getting the chance to regain my strength and trigger my healing as well. I hate being so helpless right now.
I kept mute and looked at him. There was no hope in his eyes; all he needed right now was to calm himself by killing.
“Tell me how I killed your brother; maybe it can help me remember him, and then I will be prepared to face my judgment,” I said, using it as an opportunity to buy enough time. He seemed distracted as well.
“We are from the Night Walkers pack, and my brother’s name was Leon. Does that ring a bell at all for you?” He asked, and I tried to recall, but I couldn’t remember Leon. Did I really kill a werewolf named Leon?
“You killed him without mercy, just like that. Do you remember now? Do you see the reason I am this cold and evil? You turned me into a monster the day you killed him; I was there.” Tears welled up in his eyes.
I suddenly recalled the person I killed. He was selling fellow werewolves like us into slavery, which was against the law of our people. We do not harm each other, and worse still, he took one of our kind, and she ended up being raped and abused.
