Chapter 1

The water spills and splashes beneath the feet of the running wolves, crossing the river to the border. The full moon rises in the sky, shining like a white pearl. It lightens the black woods where two rogues are running for their life.

The paddy feet are silent and alert in the direction they are heading, but the pack behind them is closer than they thought. The woods scream silently, and the dark souls are wide awake. The na?ve animals are hiding under the layers of earth, laying silently.

The rogues have crossed the borders of the Territory but their troubles are never ending.

Markus! We can’t run away from this, not any longer. They are close and they will take the most precious thing from us. Delfina cries.

Markus stops in the track, we need time to think for an escape. I know the time is hard but it will pass. We oath to keep him protected under us, if we fail, the entire existence of black Alphas will go extinct.

Delfina cries and wipes her tears. She transforms into her human form and reveals to be carrying a baby in a small basket.

We might have crossed the borders but they can sense our breaths. If we stop breathing, they can’t detect us and we will protect him. Delfina states.

No! I can not allow you to do this. We will keep him safe. He is the future of Black Alpha clan and I will raise him. Markus hisses.

You are being stubborn, Markus. They have taken everything from you, your powers too. You can do nothing but this is our last chance. If you want to keep your son alive, we have to sacrifice ourselves.

Markus stays silent, I might have lost everything I owned but I still have you and my son. How can you say that easily to give up? You are my Luna and a Luna will remain the Alpha’s power.

Delfina hugs Markus and they share a long romantic kiss before their break.

Now, run and never look back for me. I will spare time for you to escape. Markus states.

That’s suicide, Markus! Delfina utters in shock.

Markus points at his son, he needs to stay alive, no matter what. Promise me one thing, that you will keep him safe. Hide him in the human world, they will never find him there. He states, and Delfina nods her head in agreement.

Her eyes spoke fear but her heart said to be strong. She shifts in her wolf and runs away from the place. She knows that this was the last time she saw Markus, his mate and it will haunt her. She can’t help him being his luna but she has no choice.

Markus stands still on the foreign territory as he senses entities approaching him. He is alert with his will to face them. The pack of wolves encircles him and the leader steps out to initiate the conversation between them.

Markus, the black Alpha has surrendered finally. The wolf shifts into human form and throws venomous words at him.

Markus smirks and turns to face the bold and fearless Alpha of the rival pack, who said I surrender? I am here to whoop your ass. He growls and shifts into a wolf.

Markus attacks Alpha and rips its throat, killing him on the spot. His eyes turn blood lusted, and he attacks other wolves. The stranded place turns into a bed of blood and bodies. Markus keeps on the fight until the one approaches him and hits on his head.

His vision blurs, and he falls on the ground. The big white foot of the wolf makes the other wolves bow down to him.

Markus, you are nothing without your luna, so tell where she is? he bends down and asks.

Markus chuckles and replies, you will never find her.

The big wolf punches Markus and asks, this is the last time I Am asking you something because you will never hear a single word again.

Send the patrolling guards to find her, the alpha of this territory is a friend of mine and I am sure he will help us gladly. The big wolf commands, and spit on Markus' face. That petty bitch hasn’t gone too far.

She is your Luna, and she knows how to take vacuous creatures like you. Markus hisses but the big wolf clutches his neck and twists inhumanely.

There will be only one Alpha, no Luna!

Delfina runs wildly into the thin air of the dense wood. Her senses take her to the land of the humans but the distance she has to cover is full of obstacles. There is a sudden change in energy in the atmosphere which indicates the terrible result from the horrendous war between the supernaturals.

She stops and howls on the death of his mate; the pain pierces her chest which makes her extremely guilty of leaving him alone to fight the monsters. Her will is extinct with the battle of the thoughts but the loud cry of the baby in her hands distracts her and she focuses on what she was doing earlier, running away from the same monsters.

The real chase begins, now Delfina knows the battle is not over yet. With the energy left in her body, she runs for her life, for her son’s life. The more distance she will cover, the better it will be for the future of the clan.

Soon, she notices a truck near the lake and approaches there, quietly. There are few men, loading some boxes into the truck. Delfina, in her wolf form, places the little baby, wrapped in a swaddler, near the truck. She hides behind the bushes to see if anyone notices the baby.

After a while, a man comes to supervise the work done by his workers and notices the little baby crying. He gets confused and looks for anyone to ask. When he finds no one, he holds the baby and sings a lullaby to make him sleep peacefully.

He asks his men if the baby belongs to them but everyone shook their head. He wonders how the little baby can appear from nowhere to near his truck. As he wanders a little farther away from the cabin, he glances at a wolf sitting under a shady bush.

Something hits in his mind and he looks at the wolf carefully. We know the woods for the variety of wild animals but he sees the wolf for the first time in his entire career. Somehow, he can feel the pain of the wolf from his eyes.

He takes the baby with him and asks his workers to leave the cabin as soon as possible. He can’t take risks for the men working with him.

Delfina cries silently to see his baby getting away from her but that is the only way to keep him safe. She can’t reach the human land by herself so she handed the child to the humans. With a heavy heart, she leaves the place and wanders in the woods by accepting fate.

The ground beneath her feet vibrates with the motion of running paws. It makes her alert of the approaching enemy; she makes herself prepare for the battle. The utter silence of the woods is signaling the storm of fire.

I am not hiding anymore! You can reveal yourself, brother. Delfina states.

The big dangerous wolf appears out of nowhere and grabs Delfina from her neck, I told you earlier that you will die a terrible death if you follow the same path as him. But you put the deaf ear on me. Now, see with your eyes, the beginning of the dark era!

When there is darkness, the light appears from somewhere to kill it. I am not afraid of the death, Tigor, because I have planted the seed of the light. Your darkness will fade when the true light will Luminate the shine. Delfina states before passing out from the suffocation.

Chapter 2

The woods and the fire, killing innocent animals, engulfing them inside. The horrendous view to slaughter makes a cub, shiver in fear. He runs without an aim in the black woods to find a shelter but his lungs are filled with smoke and gas by the fire started by an enemy wolf.

He is a big and dangerous wolf who gazes aggressively at the poor cub. The steady and firm steps approach the sacred cub and lashes at him with his sharp canines.

Suddenly, an adolescent man wakes up from the terrible dream and gasps for air.

Onyx

The sweat drenched me from head to toe, as I woke up from the most terrible dream I saw last night. I rub my hands over my face, wiping the sweat away. My throat aches from dryness, and I gulp the water directly from the bottle.

The eyes hurt because of lack of sleep these days. No matter what, I try to sleep, I always wake up in the middle of the night seeing these dreadful dreams from a few days ago.

I got up from the bed and went to take a cold shower. It relaxes my hot skin when the coldness of water penetrates into my skin. I dress for the college, being a third-year student in biochemistry. I am a geek nerd, but a cute nerd.

I approach the dining table and gaze at my mother who is serving delicious pancakes to my dad.

Good morning, mom and dad! I greet them.

Good morning, bunny bunch. The funny nickname they gave me haunts in my dreams too.

I am 21 now, please stop calling me by that name. I snorted.

No matter how much you age, you will be our bunny bunch. Mom said.

I guess, I have to live with this sin. I mumble under my breath.

Did you sleep well last night? Dad asks.

The dreams are bothering me again. I state.

Do you want to see your physiatrist? Mom suggests.

I am fine. I had enough of these therapies. People bully me for this.

Then beat the shit out of them, we will take care of the things.

I look at them with a raised eyebrow, I Am leaving. Have a delightful day.

Have an outstanding day, son. They greet me.

I walk to the bus stop and take the first coach to reach my college. Being a topper in the school, it granted me a scholarship and allowed me to get admission in one of the best colleges in Copenhagen.

Being one of the most expensive cities in the whole Denmark, they curse the education with money. I did not want to burden my parents for my education so I worked hard on it to achieve it. Books, notes, and the library are my priorities when the kids of my age are at parties, boozing and going on trips to have fun. Life is not the same for everyone.

I cross the primary entrance of the college but my awful luck that my favorite bully is waiting for like usual.

Mikkelsen! Where is the nerdy boy going? I remember we have a test today. You know what you have to do. he winks at me and leaves.

Today, we have a test in class and he wants me to help, actually help him copy my answers. As I take more steps towards my classroom, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn to see Ben, and Martha, my best friends. A silly smile erupts on my face.

What’s up? Martha asks.

Cooper bullied me to help him in the test today.

Poor Onyx, I pity you. Ben states.

You should be happy that you are not in my place. It sucks to be me. I sigh heavily.

Yes, you are right. Being the best student of the college, you are a coward and candy ass. Martha states and I roll my eyes.

After the test, we had no other class to attend, so we went to roam in the campus. The summer holidays will begin tomorrow, and everyone is discussing their plans for vacations.

My parents are taking me to the farmhouse of my paternal uncle. This will be interesting to be there. Ben says and we chuckle.

I will visit my aunt and help her with the babies. Marth says.

What about you? Ben asks me.

I am staying home, hidden in my closet like a vampire. I joke.

What a poor joke? Have a life, onyx. One for a while, you should visit a bar or a club. Martha hisses.

Look Who's Talking, I know you badly want to go to a club, but it does not allow the nerds like you. Ben states.

You better keep your mouth shut before I slice your tongue with a clipper. Martha jabs.

Guys! Please! Stop it! I try to control the feud.

Anyways, I am leaving. I have plans before going to visit my aunt. See you guys later. Martha bids goodbye to us.

Ben and I walked out from the campus and we both left on our way to home. I enter my house and greet my mom. She is busy preparing dinner. I went to my room and took a shower which relaxes my sore muscles. I wear normal clothes and take out my notebooks to study. I hear a soft knock on the door and mom enters the room with a tray in her hand.

Honey! I bought some cookies and milk. She smiles widely.

Thanks mom.

Finish your homework fast. Your dad will be home soon. He is going to discuss something important at dinner. Mom informs.

I look blankly at her but then, I nod my head in agreement, sure! I will be at the table, joining you. I assure and focus on my study.

Soon I went to join my parents at dinner and the aroma of delicious pasta made my stomach growls. I fill my plate and eat the pasta in silence. I notice my mom signs my dad something but they act like I haven't seen them, such bad actors they are.

I push my plate and take it to the sink after dinner, when my mom approaches me, we have a discussion to start. Come, join us.

I smiled and went to join them at the living room, thy dad! How was your day? I asked.

Quite boring! We followed the same schedule. I did 5 deliveries today. Hope i will get a bonus for being the best employee of the week.

I am sure, you will be, honey! my mom sweets.

How was your school? dads asks.

Just normal, nothing interesting happened today, except for the vacations. Students were excited, Ben is going to some farmhouse with his family and Martha is going to take care of her aunt and babies. I elaborate.

Oh! So what are your plans?

nothing much. I was thinking of competing in a quiz competition.

We are thinking of spending the vacation in Rolf Skov, to make one trip memorable one. Dad states.

Are you sure dad? It wouldn’t be budget friendly to be there. I was informed.

Don’t worry about that son, I have managed to save some money for this trip and I think it’s the best time to make this happen.

If you insist then it is fine with me. When we have to leave? I ask.

Tomorrow, in the morning. Pack your stuff because we will be there for 3 days. Dad informs me before going to his room.

I was really shocked when he mentioned the trip but I am happy. I want to see him happy and that is the reason why I decided to be a part of his trip.

I went back to my room and packed the bag for the morning and went to sleep after setting the alarm.

Chapter 3

The birds are chirping early this morning and wake up before my alarm hits. That's not usual for me to wake up early on days but i have this weird feeling in my guts since Dad proposed about the vacation. Something is going to happen, best or worst, the time will tell.

I descend the staircase and run to the kitchen, finding mom and dad asleep. I grabbed a jacket from the hanger and went out to get some fresh air. I love the smell of air, woods and soil. Sometimes, I feel that I belong somewhere in the woods but the drastic nightmare made me afraid of the woods.

I agreed to go on the trip because I want to see my parents happy. But, since yesterday, I can't shrug this feeling from my head. I can’t find peace in this. After my morning walk, I came back home and took a shower. I hear scattering of utensils, Mom is waking up and she is preparing something in the kitchen.

I got dressed and went to the kitchen. I greet my parents and eat my breakfast in silence.

So, everything is ready? Dad asks.

Yep! And I baked some cookies for the trip, Onyx’s favorite chocolate chip cookies. Mom states.

Thank you, mom!

Onyx, help me load the bags in the trunk. he asks and I agree.

We loaded all the bags and stuff we will require on our trip. We all went inside the car and drove away. The busy streets of Copenhagen seem to be never ending when you get stuck in traffic jams. I keep looking out of the window to pass the time but something gets my attention. An ad with a big wolf pixelated on the enormous screen. I keep looking at the picture of the wolf like he is looking at me. I was never fond of carnivorous animals but like one got my attention.

Dad! Have you ever seen a wolf? I ask inattentively.

Dad hitches on my question but replies after a long pause, I never encountered one but heard about them alot. They are dangerous but beautiful species God has ever created. They are the biggest example of teamwork and unity.

So, the place where we are heading has wolves? I ask.

I don’t think so, I never heard about that. Dad shrugs the topic and I stay silent further.

I scroll through social media and gaze at the photos of my batchmates. They are all having fun. I smirked and off the screen, then drifted to a peaceful sleep. After a while, not sure how much time has passed but something strikes my nostrils which makes me wake up immediately. An irresistible scent of sandalwood and jasmine, plus both of them are my favorite.

Did we reach? I ask.

Almost! You slept for more than 4 hours. mom informs.

Really? I asked surprisingly.

Dad parks the car near a blunt ground, which seems like a parking place for tourists.

We will walk to the cabin from here. Dad informs.

We all nod in agreement and head to the place where we are resting. I take out the bags and place them in the cabin. The cabin is small but we have enough space of three. I notice from the window that Dad and mom are arranging bricks and stones to make a barbecue. I join them as well.

Wow! Dad! This mini barbeque looks amazing. I appreciate it.

I hope it will work. Mom grunts.

She is cutting some veggies and I help her too. Then, Dad takes me to the woods to collect some spare wood to cook the food. He ignites the barbeque and mom prepares the gravy.

We will go for a hunt, tomorrow. I hope you will like it son. dad mentions.

Hunt? For what?

Anything that can fill our stomach. We will hunt wild animals and prepare food, that's what ancient people used to do. Dad explains.

I scrunch my eyebrows and press my lips in a flat line. To be honest, I am not excited with his new idea but I will help him.

Sure!

Come on boys, eat dinner before it gets cold. You don’t have a microwave here to reheat again. Mom yells.

After the dinner, we all went inside the cabin where we played some family games together. This trip wasn't as bad as I thought. There is only one room in the cabin so I take the small living room to sleep.

I keep turning sides but i can’t sleep. My parents are sleeping faster than me. I didn't want to trouble them so I went outside. I was careful since woods are not safe in the dark, more I have this weird phobia from my dreams.

I bought a packet of cigarettes to pass the time and I guess this is the right time. I lit it and smoked peacefully but alert, I don't want to embarrass my parents for my habit. I throw the
