Nicklaus POV
“Alpha Nicklaus, if we don’t do something, they will keep on coming and coming. The mothers are scared because they don’t know how to protect their innocent daughters from them. We can’t let them sell our kind again,” one of the she-wolves cried out, and I thought about it.
“Okay, enough is enough. It’s high time we stop them for good. They have harmed our daughters, and we must teach them a lesson, Mateo.”
“Yes, Alpha.”
“Find out everything about the person capturing our kind. It’s time we end them for good,” I commanded, and they were all in excitement as they made a loud howling sound.
“Lethal, are you ready for war?” I asked my wolf form, and he was ever ready. I gave him full access to take control of my body and was not ready to show any mercy. You hurt my pack, you die.
A few days later, Mateo found a lead and alerted me at once. “Alpha Nick, we found their hideout. Their leader is Leon.”
“Leon, I hate him already. We attack tonight and kill every one of them,” I said with my cold gaze, and Mateo was in full support of what I just said.
We attacked them at their hideout, and it turned out bloody because we saw one of them raping an innocent girl. I made a vow not to show mercy at all. When I had Leon in my hands, he didn’t beg for mercy. He was not remorseful at all; he laughed evilly, and I got so angry that I gave him a miserable death by ripping out his heart from his body. He dropped dead at once.
The others who managed to survive escaped, but I never knew Leon’s brother came at the time I was killing his brother. I know he is not aware of the crimes his brother committed, but what is the point now of trying to explain to him when he has made up his mind? I can’t be sorry anymore because his brother got what he deserved from me.
“Do you remember now?” He finally woke me up from my deep thoughts, and I said, “Yes, I do, but I am not sorry I killed him. If I had the opportunity to go back in time, I would kill him over and over again. Maybe by then, you would not even survive it.”
“You bastard,” he tried to get back at me, but I had already recovered half of my strength to take him down at once. I never knew he signaled his armies. “Damn it.”
“You think you can escape from me?”
“Yes, I can.” I hit him hard and jumped out of the window. I was able to smell the men, and I calculated I had two minutes because they would be here in five minutes with the speed they were using to approach. I noticed it was a full moon tonight. I can’t believe my family and I have been stuck here for hours until midnight, but there is little hope for me. The strength from the full moon can help me get better, and soon the substances used on me will lose their power over me.
I need to find my wife and daughter at all costs and need to heal quickly so I can call for backup; these people came prepared.
“Lethal, can you hear me?”
“Yes,” his voice sounded a bit faint. “It’s the full moon; can you take over? My wife and daughter, we need to save them.”
“The weakness is fading off gradually; we can save them,” he said. Then I suddenly heard him talking, “If you don’t come out now, your wife will be dead, and your daughter will be harmed. Dare me and see.”
“Damn it, what do I do now?”
“Why don’t we just eliminate him, and the others will flee?” Lethal added.
“He has a lot of armies, so to defeat him, we have to get past these forces. It’s just us against them, but let him bluff for now. Once we get full control, we’ll signal Mateo for backup,” I said with confidence.
“Good plan.”
“I guess you really want to challenge me, Nicklaus. Guys, have fun with them,” he said.
There is no way I’m giving up. It’s either I die trying or nothing else. It’s me against them. I am a powerful alpha, weak or strong. I should not be scared of anybody at all. I got this. I shifted but was still in my human form. I could feel Lethal was not as strong as he should be, but with the rage flowing inside of us, we were able to attack them like a mad wolf. Then, suddenly, I heard my daughter scream, and I became even angrier, determined to defeat them so I could rescue her. Suddenly, I heard a strange, loud howl, a Luna’s howl. It was too powerful to resist; even the men fighting me had to submit themselves to the ground. Who had just helped us?
The Luna’s howl is unique and powerful, like the moon goddess herself is here. The men submitting to her voice looked so natural. Whoever she is, I owe her a lot of thanks for coming at the right time to help me and save my family as well. I need to look for them now.
“Gabriella! Estella!” I called their names when I smelled my wife. I rushed in the direction her scent came from, and the closer I got, the stronger and more addictive her scent became.
“GABRIELLA!” My jaw dropped as I saw my wife. Her silver wolf radiated light, and a moon mark appeared on her forehead, stunning all of us. It was true; my wife was the Moon God Luna, and she had finally shifted into a she-wolf.
