CHAPTER 29

The fight or beating was fun while it lasted, that being only for thirty seconds cause I was testing the werewolf and I am all too optimistic about being strong as fuck...not really....maybe yeah.

The Teenager who turned out to be a boy was lying on the floor bloodied but was healing quickly and I hope he gains some control over himself or I might have to use some of my unordinary prowess.

Semas and the other two were only able to watch after seeing that I was too powerful but deep down the reason they did not come at me again was because they knew I was only helping them by now, honestly, they should be thankful to me for how easily I solved their problem

"Not even a thanks for me, whatever," I said as I walked back to the mansion. I don't wanna return to the Forest after only a few days.

Suddenly Semas gave a weak laugh, almost relieved, "Hahaha! I don't have to do anything now, no matter what favor you did to the Alpha, he won't stand by confidently once you beat his son into a bloody pulp right in his territory, I don't know what you are but I think you better run" he said with a sneer almost as if my fate was sealed

His fuckingface made me laugh a bit, I let out a scornful chuckle which did its job and irked him, almost made him flinch, I see...my werewolf side is a jumpy one

"Who do you think I am to be scared of a mere werewolf, I am the wolf, I am the guardian of the Nametons, the true wolf Fenrir, the father of all wolf, I think the boy is lucky to be living after lunging himself at me, As for the Alpha, that's just bullshit, I have dealt with things stronger and scarier than him, He is just a child," I said my part and left.

Even though I know no one might be able to gurt I or something but having some company might be good for me, I think I might need to summon one of my coven members but I dont know how yet, what is it? some kind of training wheels for a newbie vampire

The day went by pretty lax for me, too bad there were no electronics but at least I had some fun, that amounts to something.

But as they say, all things must have an end....besides energy. A group of people on old era stretchers we're being carried inside the mansion and the level and sort of injuries signified that it was either some rabid animal or it might be a supernatural, one that can take on at least twenty wolves, either strategically or by pure might, that's something that can give me a challenge.

I saw The Alpha running towards me, I had the thought that he might dare to attack me but that vanished when I saw him giving me a hug that would have crushed a normal person,

'Ugggh!snotty bastard!what the fuck'

"Release me before I separate your head from your neck, Little kid," I said

He released with a happy expression, he had tears running down his eyes

"You must have felt it, you must have also felt the disturbance in the forest, after all, it used to be your home, You were even able to tell that my son was under the effect of an umbra"

he said as he bowed down again and started to thank me

I saw Semas standing far back was glaring at me, lol

I was treated to a loud round of applause and those that died were given a prayer, its believed that Werewolves s will return to their origins, that is, they will be human once they die.

By now only the kid who I beat to a pulp, the Alpha of this pack, and The druid knew about my other identity. That's what others would think but I think there is one more

The one that poisoned them in the Forest, its an iron rule that no one can play in my forest and survive,

'An umbra huh, Let's see who you are, another challenge for me huh, if what I recall is right, then an umbra can merge into shadows, can poison its enemies through touch'

It's either skilled to get to touch all the wolfs and get away or its someone on the inside

"Hale!"

"Yes! Mr.Fenrir"

"I want to know if you also employ humans or are all of the wolves, also want to know about newly bitten wolfs, as well as anything irregular happening in these past days, no one gets away after coming in my territory"

"Right away," he said before running off to wherever he needed to.

While that was happening I took some coins from my drawer and left the place, I wanted to have a look around,

I have to admit, the air is very very fresh compared to the previous worlds, in the twilight it was uncomfortable after the modern era came and inthe apocalyptic world it was... well a lot apocalyptic for my taste.

Though the food was only good for those who could afford it, just like everywhere else, there was the dividing line between the poor and the rich.

kids begging on the street for food and coins, mothers begging for their family's survival, for coins to buy some herbs for her family.

I can practically smell the emotions of these people, the rich smell like mercury, I dont even know what that's supposed to mean. The guards have smells ranging from rotten eggs to that of steel. I guess I know what that means. I usually go into a human or vampire form to avoid smelling the unpleasant smells around me, it ranges from the smell of jasmine to the smell of burnt potatoes.

but as soon as I go for a walk, who would have known that I will fall into trouble once again, Though it was more than likely my fault since I was zoning in and out of my conscious

=================================

Third POV:-

"Gaaah! my favorite fish food is ruined, who the fuck do you think you are you vermin?!" A short man was standing with food all over his clothes, He was fuming with anger and had a bit of tear dripping down his eyes which shows how much he loved food or whatever.

Argos had a hand over his face as if he was covering his nose, but due to some reason, it looked more like disgust.

The short man who saw Argo's facial expression was angry, thinking he was being ridiculed again which caused him to fly into another fit of rage.

"Dadadadadada!, You think you are so handsome you bastard huh, Just because you are tall and have beautiful hair you can walk around pushing us helpless people around..well not today, guards bash this guy up and make sure to break his legs, put," the man who was not so helpless with all the guards around him said, a huge crowd had gathered around them,

"You fucked yo big-time cutie boy," said one of the burly men's as he tried to grab Argos by the neck, probably to drag him down or something, the big bully man was met with a kick so powerful it set him in a < position.

The whole crowd was silent as well as the other burly looking savage men, wondering how a small figure could pack such power in it,

The disrespectful man was on the ground puking blood continuously before it was too much and he fainted and would most likely die.

Fortunately, this was not an anime so no otter stupid guard came forward and a stuttering old. the man was left standing in the middle of the crowd, Argos walked towards the old man and slapped him hard, sending the man flying like in a certain anime.

Argos walked out of the crowd with ease as everyone gave him the way, by this time Semas had also arrived, with several files in his hands

After arriving at the mansion, Semas dripped the files onto Argo's hands and walked away, only after hearing a final warning from Argos, "I will rip you apart the next time you try and be disrespectful, I think you already know who I am, I hope you come to your senses" Argos said as he closed the door on Semas

Semas could feel a pair of eyes burning into his back, scaring him half to death.

===============================

Argos read through the file for two hours and finally narrowed down the suspects for the umbra.

as suspected, it was an insider, Argos called for someone to deliver his words to The Alpha

soon enough Hale walked into Argo's room, but not without his permission. Hale was more than thankful to Argos, Previously it was mere terror and forceful labor but now Hale would gladly jump into a lava pit for Argos.

"What is it Allfather, how may I be of service," said Hale causing Argos to be shocked, he could smell worship and awe all over Hale as if he was being injected with them.

Argos soon recovered and nodded at Hale,

"I have narrowed down your suspect to a bare minimum of three, its either your Doctor, the one who takes care of all the ill ones, or its the one who teaches your pack how to fight"

Hale was surprised for a moment and was in doubt until he remembered something that caused him to seeth in rage at the traitor, it was probably the fact that he already knew who the traitor was, Hale cooled down and asked Argos in doubt

"Allfather you did not make the third one....who do you think it is ?" he asked curiously

Argos chuckled a bit, finally looked at Hale with a smirky smile, and said with a heavy voice, "You really wanna know...I could just stay quiet...you already know who it is dont you...the one who is causing chaos in your pack and probably causing a fight with another pack, haha"

Argos could feel Hales breath quicken and his pupils dilating to unbelievable degrees. A quirk of a werewolf perhaps, Hale stepped back a bit probably not wanting to accept the truth.

"All three are the culprits, my boy, you have been nurturing snakes all along and the joke is that....your wife is the big hydra...funny is it not, family turning against each other, thankfully I have never had to experience that, that's why I am speechless as well"

Hale fell onto the ground, tears falling down his eyes, perhaps his wife was the love of his life, or perhaps it was the fact that his wife tried to...did nearly kill her son. Everyone knew this pain and hopelessness would turn into anger and rage.

"You wanna know why I suspect her," Argos asked and Hale looked up at him

"It's because of this" Argos said and gave a picture to Hale, it was handmade since the era did not have camera of any kind.

"What you see is your beautiful...or moderate wife...what I see is a shadow...a dark dirty shadow with its ugly teeth starting right at me, it's eyes so lanky it makes me puke... it's not natural, even for supernatural" Argos said

As Argos kept narrating the appearance of the beloved wife, the picture of Hale's wife began to change right in his hands. Soon the beautiful drawn skin was peeling away as the whole picture of the women began to become black, one that would send a chill down even a gods spine

"That's you beautiful wife, the mother of your children...or not...since Umbra are known to take the shape of those they kill...or absorb"

Hale looked at Argos hurriedly, "Haha, I am the guardian of the Nameton and it's all justified why I know so much."

After a moment, Argos again said, "Also because I have not seen this women two days straight and that only you and Semas and your sons know what she looks like"

This caused Hale to be more frustrated and down, probably thinking about what happened to the love of his life, if she was alive or not anymore.

That's When Argos revealed his new plan..or favor

"I think I can help you in this matter, if the Umbra has only absorbed your wife for not more than two or three weeks than I can do something"

"Really! please please help her, I beg of you please" Hale could not help it and fell to his knees and started begging

Argos had a favor to ask of Hale and the Umbra gave a perfect chance since he did not like to be in someone's debt.

"You will have to listen to one of my favors in return and I can't help her if she was killed instead of just being absorbed"

Argos then stood the man up with a jerk and said

"Now since only a small group remembers your wife, I suggest you start finding of who was the closest to your wife and who was her biggest enemy or something like that, there are two ways I have that can get rid of an Umbra, one I can use my way and it will probably hurt your wife to unimaginable degrees and the other requires the previously mentioned things since, I believe this Umbra has some kind of history with your pack or your wife.

There were two reasons as to why Argos wanted to help Hale ,one that he wanted something and the other being that he never wanted to experience something like what Hale did and discover what actually happened do that he could steer clear of that mistake,He did not want his own family to hunt him down or something along those lines

Soon enough the seriously hurt child and Semas came into the room and the conversation began...completely forgetting the other son
