Chapter 13
They finally got in the jeep and drove away from the area.
“Pedro, please, next time, don’t do such a thing without permission, okay?” Regina advised.
“Yes, aunty.” the little one nodded.
His mum placed the award statue in a bag and let him drink some coconut milk with some snacks.
“Today was quite fulfilling.” remarked Mel, who was now driving.
“Yup. I agree.” said Rolandro as he chewed on a snack. “This thing’s really crunchy. Mimi, did you get more of it?”
“Yeah, I did. There are like a dozen more in here.” Carmelia replied, pointing to a nylon bag, and her mate gave her a thumbs up.

In a cave on an unknown, uninhabited island, a figure crawled to shore with difficulty.
It was very dark and she could barely see as her hair covered her face.
She managed to sit up and watched as her tail transformed back into legs. It hurt more than usual. Since her escape from Ralton pack, she had been swimming where her heart led her. She wanted to get as far away as possible. So no one from that hellish place would ever find her and catch her back there!
Today, while avoiding an annoying shark, she hit her tail hard against a rock so that it bled. She couldn’t even swim with it for many hours. Her blood mixed with the sea water. She was scared it would make the shark want to eat her, but surprisingly, the shark fled. Her blood seemed to be its nemesis, she guessed.
She rested on that part of the seabed for some 8 hours. The fruits in the surrounding were edible and delicious. Her tail healed slowly because of the thorny shrub that also grazed her tail when it hit that damn rock.
Well, when she saw that she could swim again, she tried hard to get out of there, but a snake of unknown specie was after her life. She used the ice chain she could summon from her hands, but it wasn’t as effective as when Oceana was in control.
And the three of them are in a slumber. She’d promised them that she’d take care of herself. They already helped her escape from that damn pack, the least she could do was to be alive and self-reliant.
She eventually resorted to using lightning balls, which sucked a lot of her energy. The snake died after struggling for two minutes.
Lavana spat out blood and it mixed with the water. She mustered all the strength she had left and swam to the surface nearby. That’s how she ended here on the shore of this lonely island. She stood up using a boulder with difficulty and exhaled hard.
She could see the surroundings a little clearer now. Her headache had lessened, and her wound no longer hurt much. She noticed that Pamela was subconsciously helping her. It would extend her slumber period.
“Thank you, Pamela.” she muttered as a tear fell down her left cheek.
She walked deeper into the island, using fireballs as light.

On a lonely road, three blue 2 seater sports cars were chasing the black jeep belonging to Rolandro. The others were distressed too. Whoever was pursuing them had bad intentions. They had a young lad with them and nothing should happen to him!
They drove faster than ever, but suddenly, two cars blocked them ahead. There was nowhere to turn.
“Stay inside.” Rolandro said to the ladies and his boy.
He and Mel stepped out of the car. Their auras were fierce.
The people in the 5 cars that had come for them also stepped out; all of them are wearing black leather jackets and tight pants.
“Why are you questing us? What wrong have we done?” Rolandro asked unhappily.
“You made us use up more petrol than we initially planned. You must explain.” Mel added.
One of the strange men who had a frightening scar than ran from the left side of his cheek to the right and had a burly build) walked towards the two men, cracking his knuckles loudly.
“Little boys, you dare come into this town, into the beach, with beauties, and you think you can just go scot free?”
“So it’s a sin to go sightseeing with our mates? Why didn’t I know of it?” Rolandro asked.
“You want to die?” one of the men asked angrily, pointing a gun at Rolandro.
“No. I want to live, but I’m not afraid of death. The only thing you should know is that you’ll be going to visit the king of Death with me.” Rolandro chuckled.
“You bastard!” the man fired at him, but he dodged it easily.
“You can’t even aim well and you dare run your mouth like a parrot?” he hissed.
“I’m Leonard Scavenger, gamma of the Rogue pack. We rule this town!” the scarred, burly man said.
“I’m a nobody passing by whose earnest wish is to leave here quickly. Can you grant it?” Rolandro said with folded arms.
“Yup. But you must leave the beauties here.”
“Then what are we still waiting for? Kill them!” Mel yelled.
He immediately crouched and shifted into a red wolf with a white tail. It was really good-looking, but right now it was growling.
“Leave here this instant!” Rolandro said in a deeper tone of voice. His wolf had surfaced as his eyes turned purple and his nails elongated.
“You are outnumbered! You’re not even enough for me to deal with.” said Leonard as his eyes turned gray.
“You are playing with fire, ugly thing!”
Both men turned their head and saw that their mates had come out of the jeep, looking pissed. Their wolves had already surfaced.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Go back inside. We can handle this!” Mel chastised.
“No, mate! I wanna rip his body to shreds.” Regina said while cracking her neck and knuckles.
“You girls can’t get hurt. Elliot, Maldox, go protect them. Alpha must see them without blemish.” Leonard commanded. Two short men with the same style of hair left their spots and ran towards the ladies.
“You think we’re joking?” Carmelia crouched and transformed into a pink furred wolf with cyan blue eyes.
“Mimi, no!” Rolandro warned, but she didn’t heed. The two men also transformed into black wolves with sky green eyes.
Regina shifted too into a gray wolf.
The four wolves pounced on each other and started a tough fight.
Their worried mates wanted to go to them, but Leonard and the other 7 men stood in their way.
“You forgot our unfinished business?” he asked.
“Of course not, you damn rogue!” Rolandro growled and shifted into a blue furred wolf.
Leonard and the other seven men shifted and launched themselves at Rolandro and Mel’s wolves.
The battle was frightening. Pedro, who was watching from the car, trembled.
“Mommy, daddy, Uncle Mel and aunty Regina, please win. Don’t get hurt! It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have suggested going to the beach so I could show off my dance skills. Please win, and I promise to obey you from now on.” he said in a whisper. His body was trembling. They had warned him not to watch, but he couldn’t stop himself.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a pale white man with bright red eyes dragged the boy out.
He wanted to scream in fear upon seeing his features, but his mouth was covered by the man’s big, calloused, cold hand.
He had heard from his mum that there were pale-skinned creatures who only come out at night to feast on blood. They had red eyes, black lips, and sharp, elongated canines. The vampire king would have fully black eyes and instilled terror in the hearts of anyone who saw him.
Why was this creature here? Did he want to drink his blood? A bite from a vampire would kill anyone with wolf blood. He was a young wolf pup.
He earnestly looked at his parents, uncle and aunty fighting like it was their last. He wished they would come save him now, but that was not to be.
