Chapter 1: Defeat of Dante Family

A loud wail echoed, followed by heavy footfalls, a man with blonde hair and blue eyes led eight sturdy men behind him towards a double door edge.

His neck revealed partly a dragon tattoo, he pulled the door open, revealing an old man who stood before a young lady with an expressionless face.

The lady glanced at the intruders briefly, they bow their heads towards her.

"It is done," the man with blonde hair and blue eyes said.

"thank you, David" the lady is Melissa, the leader of the rogue pack of NY city, she looked at the old man standing before her, the man is tall and slender, with a straight face, and he wore an unreadable facial expression, he stood nonchalantly like someone who couldn't be tempered by the world.

"Old Dante, have the Dante family become so weak, that you can't even defend yourself against a rogue pack, I wasn't expecting an easy victory" Melissa taunted.

The old man squinted his eyes slightly then shut his eyes and maintained his expressionless face, Melissa's eyes darkened.

"talk to me!" she roared, her eyes turning red, and her fangs shot out, revealing a part of her, her half-wolf form, David and the eight sturdy men he led bowed and fell on their knees.

Old Dante remained standing unaffected by her outburst, Melissa suppressed her anger and drew out a sword "I am not in a hurry, I would have to torture you slowly and make sure you have no pride in you, left, then I will kill you, just the way you ended my parent's life" she said with a treacherous smile plastered on her face.

Old Dante narrowed his eyes at her "who are you?" Those are the only words that have come out of his mouth for the past three hours since the Moon pack house was invaded by the rogue pack, and his chambers were besieged.

Melissa wore a smile that didn't reach the eyes, she removed the hood hiding her face, revealing a clown mask "is there a need for me to show my face, I was young when you invaded my home and murdered my entire family, I am here to seek for revenge, all the Dante bloodline will be killed with my claws" she vowed with a maniac look on her face.

"Oh!" Old Dante responded, and he stood quietly, looking unaffected by what was going on around him, Melissa had enough of the prideful old man, she stretched out her sword, ready to detach his head.

"This is for my family, and justice for all the packs you have destroyed, and all the lives you have taken" she recited.

"little girl, the world of the werewolves isn't about justice and law, is about myth and the rule of the strong, there is no room for vengeance, it is who draws the first blood and who will live to survive and tell the story" Old Dante responded nonchalantly.

Melissa paused briefly and stared at the old man's face, age has taken a toll on him, his white eyebrows and his wrinkled face, coupled with his white beard, despite this, Old Dante was still a handsome old man.

Melissa let out a dry laugh, her eyes bloodshot "you could say that just because you ain't the one who lost the ones you love, because you ain't the one who was living out in the cold without a shelter, because you ain't the one who go about begging for a daily meal!" she yelled at him.

Old Dante's lips curved upward and he swept his gaze around "you won't be able to heal even if you murder all the Dantes, the more blood you draw, the more you become just like us, a day will come, you will regret all you have done, and it will be too late, you will realise all you think you know, are not knowledge, but reasons to keep killing..." Old Dante narrowed her eyes at Melissa "you are just like the Dantes, who kill for fun"

Melissa's face hardened, she swung her arm holding a whip and lashed at Old Dante.

The whip landed at Old Dante's arm, peeling his flesh, a bloody mark appeared but it healed faster, "I will never be like the Dantes, I am here to be the law and principles that the NY werewolves will live with, there won't be senseless murdering of our kinds, and subjugation of the weak" Melissa proclaimed right before his face.

"good luck with that" Old Dante replied dryly, and shut his eyes, no matter what Melissa did, he didn't even give a slight reaction.

"What a stubborn old man, I will make sure I torture you till you beg me to kill you, take him away" she ordered David, David stood on his feet with the sturdy men accompanying him to drag Old Dante away.

"No, please don't hurt my grandfather" a voice shouted, and a handsome young man rushed out from a secret passage, Old Dante opened his eyes and glanced at him "I warned you not to come out, why did you disobey me, Romeo?" Old Dante questioned the handsome young man.

Romeo pursed his lips "Dad, why are they taking you away? did you offend them?" he asked fearfully, he didn't like the way the intruders were looking at him murderously, his heartbeats quickened.

Melissa swept her gaze all over him, he is the most handsome man she has ever seen, and she was surprised that she couldn't even smell his scent, how could a Dante bloodline be human and also naive? this question piqued her interest.

"Please, don't take my grandfather, I will do anything you want him to do, he is too old and can't be of any use to you" Romeo proposed ignorantly.

Melissa glanced at Old Dante but she was disappointed that the old man still wore an expressionless face "really?".

Romeo nodded fervently "then be my slave husband in exchange for your grandfather's life" Melissa proposed daringly.
