(Author's POV)
Swoosh!
The werewolf, with his extremely fast movements and strength surpassing common sense, easily subdued almost all the Slavers within a flash.
The rest few couldn't put up a fight anymore as their bodies could only shudder in sheer terror. They aimed at the werewolf, but their fingers just couldn't pull the trigger of their crossbows anymore. Their subconscious mind was telling it so that the moment they acted against the werewolf, it was their doom that would be realized instead.
"Give to him, it's just a woman", someone persuaded gradually
"Yeah, I don't want to be eaten by a wolf" Hearing this, Ezekiel just sneered. Do they really think they are delicious? Ridiculous.
When the small flicker of their hope was about to vanish, something unexpected happened, bringing them back to light. Everyone, especially the Slavers, turned to look at the source of that voice and there they saw their boss, Roger, holding a certain girl hostage. It was the same girl who he held ever so dearly. The one million cost goody.
“Stop your madness, you wicked dog! Or else, I will kill her!”
His left arm was gripping her neck, the other hand was holding a knife and was pointing at her flank. One wrong move of the werewolf and he would not hesitate to make a faucet of blood on that certain girl's slender waist.
Ezekiel, upon realizing the situation, halted his madness and shifted his gaze at Roger and the girl he held hostage. A low growl escaped his mouth. A dark expression took over his face the moment he saw them, his eyes emitted utter coldness. How dare this human, with filthy hands of his, touch that girl, his mate! This human simply asked for endless misery. His deed was an unforgivable sin that even death couldn't repay for the price it would take.
Roger, when he saw the werewolf finally hesitating, grinned with his teeth still bloody. He knew it! The weakness of that werewolf was this little girl. It was the right decision that he risked harming his one million gold in order to drive that werewolf away, or probably subdue it.
“...” Ezekiel only stared at the other party nonchalantly though. Severe his limbs off? He couldn't help but reveal a cold smirk in the end. “Stupid”
He then disregarded Roger's feelings and outrageous demand as he started walking his way toward him and the damsel in distress.
“You... Don't come any closer! Or else, I will definitely kill her!!!” Roger exclaimed. He pressed his knife against the girl's flank and made sure it would bleed.
He was taken aback at first when he saw the werewolf approaching him like he was walking in the park. But later, upon realizing the gravity of the situation, what he felt was fear taking over his heart. Could it be that that werewolf really didn't care about this girl at all? Was he wrong to begin with?
“Pff... Puahahaha, I don't even know her and you dare hold her hostage against me? Are all humans as naive as you are? At such a young age, I already slaughtered an entire pack. And you filthy humans dare to spout such nonsense in my presence?” Ezekiel started laughing madly as he walked closer. It was like it was the funniest joke he heard after a long time.
He gave Roger a death stare as he sneered coldly, “Besides, I fed on human flesh and blood, women are my favorite. Even if you kill her now, it doesn't change a thing at all.” There was another moment of pause before he continued, his tone suddenly bore murderous intent. “Every single one of you, be it slaves or the slavers, will become my food and suffice my stomach tonight.” Ezekiel says this to satisfy the imagination of these stupid humans.
“Come, humans. I want to see how will you kill me,” The werewolf suddenly spoke again. But this time, his body started to be covered with thick cyan furs. His appearance became wolf-like, but even then, he still stood with his two feet and appeared like a human. He clenched his fists and then revealed a cold grin, “I think this much is enough to deal with the likes of you. I don't need to use the power of Cadis any more than this.”
Kutob!
A partial shift! A werewolf who had full control over his wolf!
Everyone there was greatly surprised by what they had just witnessed. A feat like that was extremely rare to be seen from a werewolf and it was no doubt a powerful feat. Other than some of the most powerful Alphas, there was only one in the entire world who could achieve such a feat.
“You... You... Are you Ezekiel D'raizel?”Roger immediately caught on as he couldn't help but ask. His voice trembled, his expression went pale. His hands shook uncontrollably as he tried his best not to lose his aim.
How foolish. Roger's heart sank completely as he finally gave in. He finally felt his body begin to shake wildly. He stared at Ezekiel as his eyes were telling it so. He wanted to beg for mercy.
Ezekiel continued his way toward Roger as he halted his steps right in front of him and the little girl he held hostage. The grin on his face seemed like the grin of a grim reaper, going coldly by the passing second.
“Any last words?” He asked as he stared directly at Roger dead in the eye. It even seemed like the "hostage" wasn't there as all he could see was Roger and his impending death.
Roger swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he replied, “Please... Forg... Ahhhhhhh!!!”
He was just about to beg for forgiveness when suddenly, Ezekiel swung his claws against Roger's right arm which was holding a knife. That said, his right arm was cut off, spraying blood everywhere with his severed limb.
He cried out aloud as his tears streamed down his face. The moment his right arm was severed, he subconsciously let go of the hostage as he took a couple of steps backward until he fell flat with his ass on the ground. He gripped somewhere near his severed limb, trying to ease the pain.
“No, not that. Don't even think of asking for forgiveness. You will be my food tonight,” Ezekiel finally spoke which made Roger realize that there was no hope for his bloody end. He was just about to make another move to let Roger suffer a life worse than death when suddenly...
“Just finish it quickly, Ezekiel.” Cadis' voice sounded in Ezekiel's mind. “You've wasted more than enough time. And also, look at our mate. Can't you at least be more careful? You've really scared the shit out of her. This is your fault! She will definitely not like us anymore!”
“...” Ezekiel also realized that just now. He glanced at his mate and, sure enough, the way she looked at him was no way in hell to be good. Her eyes were similar to the countless others who looked at him before. Those eyes were clearly telling how they saw him as a monster.
As much as those terrified eyes pained him, Ezekiel tried his best to ignore them. He then shifted his gaze back at Roger as he spoke again, “Tch, how boring. I have changed my mind. I won't let you suffer pain worse than death anymore. Instead...”
Ezekiel took a moment of pause as he looked down at the other party. If not for his wolf urging him to hurry up, then he would definitely let that bastard who hurt his mate suffer every torture in existence before finally killing him.
He didn't wait another moment to pass as he disappeared from where he was standing. He then reappeared right behind Roger, whose head was now gone missing. Looking at Ezekiel, it appeared like Roger's head was now in his hand, clutching his hair like it was a piece of garbage.
What just happened, happened so fast that Roger failed to visualize his own death. After taking care of him, Ezekiel, on the other hand, finally turned to look at his so-called mate.
Their eyes finally met again under the moon. An inexplicable feeling soon bloomed within them. For a good while, none of them spoke. That was until the little girl, with her innocent and terrified tone, spoke with a low voice.
“If you want to eat me, then please do it quickly.”
(Ezekiel's POV)My heart thudded really swift and heavy, the sound reached my eardrums. The moment that little girl, my mate, showed me her neck for me to "eat her", I found myself getting out of control, especially Cadis who resided within me.Subconsciously, I closed my mouth to her neck as I couldn't help smelling her neck. The fragrant scent of her reached into my heart. My urge to eat her became stronger. But not literally. I wanted to eat her right on the bed and made love with her right this instant. I knew that Cadis felt the same way.“Hurry, and put your mark on her. Make sure she becomes yours right this instant!” Cadis roared, which was to my expectation as well. I opened my mouth, ready to make her mine, but suddenly, a wild thought entered my mind.My rational thinking was telling me that this wasn't the right time for that. It would be better if I made her realize first what am I to her before I did something like that which was currently against her will.And also, thi
(Alexa's POV)After which, having no one to talk to, I closed my eyes to rest. I didn't even know that I had already fallen asleep in his arms. All I felt at that moment was that I was in the safest place, comforting me in a way that I didn't need to worry anymore about anything else."Wow, you bring a woman this time, huh?"Suddenly, I heard a voice of a lady, pulling me back from my deep sleep. Slowly, I opened my eyes.It was already morning."Who the hell is she?""Why is Alpha holding her?"Again, I heard the same voice somewhere around me. Only then did I recall that someone had woken me up from my sleep earlier. I shifted my gaze again and there I saw the woman who had just spoken.But looking at her expression, she appeared not in a good mood at the sight of me. One of her eyebrows was raised against me as she didn't even bother to hide her displeasure when looking at me. What was with this woman? I couldn't help but frown a bit the moment I saw her."She's just someone I picke
(Alexa's POV)"Alexa, huh?" A voice sneering at the call of my name pulled me back to my senses. I turned to look at the source of that voice and I saw Elle walking closer to me, "I don't how you know each other or why he deems you a special tool, but you heard him, right? From now on, you will be under my jurisdiction."I didn't know why, but this woman seemed to plot something against me. I could see it from her playful gaze and cold smile. That made me swallow a mouthful of saliva involuntarily."From now on, you will follow my every command," Elle added as she grazed her fingers on my face the moment she approached me. "Don't worry, I will treat you well. Just make sure to behave well in my presence because in this place, I am the second-in-command.""The second-in-command?" I repeated with a question mark floating over my head. I couldn't help but tilt my head slightly sideways. She was the second strongest here? Ezekiel can actually accept that his second-in-command is a woman?
(Alexa's POV)"Miss Alexa! Miss Alexa!" A loud voice kept ringing in my ears. As if urging me to do something, am I back to being a maid again?"You need to be louder!" A voice said."I don't dare! If she gets angry, the Alpha will kill me, didn't you see that day?" The other voice replied sheepishly.Alpha? Which Alpha?"I wouldn't dare to anger Alpha Ezekiel's woman..."Alpha Ezekiel! Oh yes! I am now in Ezekiel's territory! Realizing this I quickly opened my eyes and found the rays of the sun invading my small room."What? It's already morning?" But what I felt at that moment was surprised. I hurriedly got up and got off the bed.It's over, if I'm late, that horrible woman will punish me for sure!"Nerra! Farah! I'm already up, sorry for keeping you waiting!" I shouted to the door as I walked towards the closet.I quickly changed my clothes.I wore a jagger and sports bra, paired with rubber shoes. I also tied my pink hair into a ponytail.As soon as I exited the room, Nerra and Far
(Alexa's POV)"Damn it! Damn it! Really damn it all!" I roared inwardly the loudest I could. To think that in the end, after I voiced out my complaints, I still complied with her outrageous demand and started running with a huge tire I dragged along with me.I was only at my first lap and fuck, this was really driving me crazy. No matter how I thought about it, this was definitely not a training. It was more like a torture! A torture that would kill me sooner or later.But what else should I do? If I wanted to become strong enough to avenge myself from Savage Tyranny Pack, I could only try my best to overcome the arduous training laid before me. Yes, even if it cost me my life.After all, the Savage Tyranny pack wasn't just your usual pack. They were the third strongest in this entire great mountain range of Sierra Madre. So, basically, I alone really had no hope of winning against them no matter how hard I trained."Thatlittle girl without wolves... I think she's done for."Amidst my
(Author's POV)Not long ago. Ezekiel was seeking an answer from the goddess in the temple...In some parts of the world, there were places where the statue of the Goddess of the Moon was built for an unknown reason. It was the place where the presence of the Goddess was the greatest.Through the statue, someone could communicate directly with the Goddess of Moon to receive blessings and revelation from her. As such, with its limited numbers, the largest and strongest packs conquered the place, built temples to hide the sacred statues, and made them their territories.Ezekiel, right now, had his eyes fixed on the sacred statue. He held a piece of paper in his right hand as he raised it forward. The paper revealed ancient words as after which, he unhurriedly read the words written on it.After he read the ancient words, his forefinger suddenly revealed a sharp claw as he cut the skin of his wrist open. Blood gushed out of his wound as his blood had been absorbed by the piece of paper un
(Alexa's POV)"Let's go," Ezekiel then spoke again as he beckoned me to tag along. He didn't even bother to help me up from the ground as he started walking his way with his back against me.Of course, I didn't follow him right away as I was still having a hard time believing what had just happened. Ezekiel saving me was one thing but him wanting me to come with him? And actually ordering the entire crowd to treat me like I was the Luna of the pack? What was he up to now? Did he perhaps have a crush on...No! Before a wild thought could run freely in my mind, I shook my head violently, trying to shake away those wild thoughts. A man who was notorious for being the most wicked could never feel a crush on anyone, much less, love. That kind of love stories where the boys changed for their girls were nonexistent as..."What the hell are you doing lying there stupidly and spacing out like a fool?"I was still deep in my thoughts when a cold and frustrated voice interrupted me. I moved my h
(Alexa's POV)I was shocked speechless upon hearing his words. I didn't recall getting on his good side or him owing me a favor.But now that I thought about it, this Ezekiel was really nice to me. Although he really had this worst personality and sharp tongue, he hadn't hurt me too much or let me suffer.Still, I couldn't help but doubt his words as I asked, "Why?""None of your concern. You just need to know that you will be of good use to me someday. So, don't misunderstand, missy." Ezekiel replied nonchalantly."Alexa..." I corrected. I didn't know where was I getting my courage whenever I talked with this wicked man. Other people might probably shiver in fear even when they were just in his presence but as for me, I didn't feel the same way. I even felt like it was good with him around, giving me a kind of comfort in these hopeless days of mine."Whatever," Ezekiel appeared like he didn't care as he turned around and started walking again. I shrugged my shoulders as I started fol
