CHAPTER 23

Unknown POV

I slowly walked towards the strange house that he informed me to meet him there. To be honest, I never thought that warewolves actually existed. When I found out, I made it my life's mission to hunt them down and kill them.

I don't have a hidden agenda against them but its my job to hunt them as I'm part of a cult called The Nolcans..stupid name, I know..Its what they calls us anyway.

Before my grandfather died, he passed on his knowledge about those filthy dogs to me..I didn't believe it at first until I saw it with my own eyes.

16 years ago

"Where are we going granddad". I asked him as we wondered around the dark and creepy forest.

"Today you've finally became of age. I know this may sound weird and unbelievable but you need to know this.. The myths, fairytales and legends you heard when you were little are true."...he stared at me for a second and I nodded for him to continue..

"There are creatures in this world, creatures beyond scientific explanations, hidden in the depths of the forests and mountains, waiting for their next prey to feed on..Vampires and  warewolves exist.." before he could continue, I busted out of laughter...what the heck, does he really think I'm like three years old...I'm a grown ass man..well I'm 16 but it still counts...

"This is not something you can laugh about. I'm no fool boy...I know exactly what I'm saying and show some respect when I'm talking to you.." In a flash I was quickly sober of my laugh and straightened up..Grandfather was kind but he had a side...A dark side that no one knew except  me..

"Good boy...Now where was I?...Ahh yes...Warewolves and vampires exist...so do trolls and other magical creatures that are beyond our knowledge, living away from human site in our own world. You might not understand now but you will soon...I'll make sure of it.." I kept quiet, I didn't need his crazy sidturning on me because of my stupid mouth...He continued walking until we reached some sort of warehouse deep in the forest..I didn't know what was waiting for me in there...Trully speaking I was scared...at some point, I thought he was going to kill me and burry my body somewhere in this forest...eyy don't jugde me, but grandfather is a psycho...

He opened the warehouse and ushered me inside..It was dark and smelled like blood or was it dead bodies, I'm not sure..A shiver ran through my spine as I went deeper. He finaly turned the lights on, to say I was freaked out would be an understatement. Dead bodies in body bags hung from the ceiling..They looked dismembered and the stench was just too much for me to bear and threw up on the floor. My heart was hammering in my chest...I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I couldn't stay there, I didn't want to be linked with any of this..I slowly backed away from the gruesome scene and towards the door...

"DON'T MOVE BOY..."...In an instant, my body froze. He came towards me with a look in his face that I rarely saw. His eyes...His cold blue eyes had something different in them. I started to see someone different that day..he didn't look like my grandfather who used to play with me, chase me until my legs gave out, laugh with me until me until my belly couldn't take it...He looked like a monster..It slowly crept in my mind that he did this...He kill all of those people...From that look on his eyes he seemed to enjoy it..

"Yo..you did this...you kill them..all those people..you're a serial killer"...I whispered in disbelief..

He chuckled in response and cliked his tongue.

"I only did what other people fail to do..I hunt creatures and kill them...Those in there, are not people...They are monsters, feeding on innocent people...They hide in mountains, preying on vulnerable humans..."..I couldn't speak..it felt as if my tounge was tied down...My throat felt dry..He motioned me to follow and like a machine, I did..He walked towards the body bags, touching them slightly like he fed on the site..

"You see boy, these creatures roomed in our earth for as long as I can remember. They are nothing like us, sure they might look like us, some even say more enchanting than us..They are vicious killers and won't hesitate to take your life in exchange for their survival..I am certain that you know a thing or two about vampires and warewolves.."..I nodded still shocked about him being a killer..

"I know you have a lot of questions and I will answer them in due time...now is not the time, we are late for a reeping..." He smilled evilly and motioned me to follow him.

We went out of the warehouse and towards a black vehicle that wasn't there before...We got in and all there was was uncomfortable silence...I was still wrapping my head around the information I just recieved...In my mind, grandfather is a killer, blaiming his killings on creatures that are not even real..I always knew he was creazy but I never thought it would go to this piont...He need serious help and I was determined to help him..I couldn't go to the police because then he would be arrested..ye might be a serial killer but he's still my grandfather...

The car truck came to a stop. I looked around my surroundings only to find out that we were facing a buge castle like house...People were running around shouting words I didn't understand...I looked towards the field and thats when it appeared...A wolf..It was almost the size of a full grown horse..It slowly approached us and bared its sharp teeth at us...Its fur was golden brown...Two men appeared from behind us, handing grandfather  many sorts of weapons..He took them and slinged them around his body like a pro...He then turned and faced me..

"This boy is war...Now stay close behind me..bo matter what you see, just know that they are the monsters not us..." with those words, he took out a sword just as the wolf was ready to pounce on us...He plunged his swored in its abdomen and the wolf shrieked in pain...It holwed and its eyes rolled in the back of its head...Thunderous footsteps stormed towards us, men shifted in wolves...I backed was from the scene but was dragged back by a man I never noticed was there...I started noticing that there were many men behing grandfather, all carrying weapons, all with the same cold eyes and vicious smiles...They enjoyed killing...It sounded sick but I didn't mind...They looked bad ass and I felt myself liking the idea of being a hunter...I wanted to hunt and kill all those creatures...They don"t belong in this world...As I shifted my eyes away from the hunters, to the many wolves howling towards us in the green field and finally to many women and children running away from the battle that was being formed in the field...They all seemed to be humans until some turned into wolves and attack our men...They weren't so vulnerable after all..

Screams of men and holws of wolves in pain rang in the air...The stench of blood filled my nostrils...I never felt so alive...I finally understood..Grandfather and his men protecting our kind. Protecting them from beasts disguised as humans waiting to pounce on us any chance they got....

I watched as many wolves were slaughtered...I heard  a scream coming from the front porch of the house...I turned my eyes toward it and slowly approached the woman with golden blonde hair, she was so beautiful, so enchanting and bleeding..she had been shot somewhere. I watched as she tried to usher her a boy with raven black hair away from the scene...The boy was screaming for her to let him stay with her...His blue-grey orbs were filled with tears..I didn't notice grandfather who now stood next to me, handing me a knife..I looked at him, clearly confused of his behavior and he nodded towards the boy and his mother...

"Go now boy, kill them and save our kind...Do not be fooled by their human like looks...Its either them or us..."...I knew he was telling the truth...it was either I kill or be killed...I approached them and a man appeared behind the boy...He nodded towards the woman and slang the boy on his back..He shifted in his wolf and ran towards the forest with the boy on his back..The boy screamed for his mother when I was just a foot away from her...Grabbing her by her hair, I slit her throat and watched as her blood sprayed on my hands...I didn't feel any guilt, it was like I was born to kill...Her body fell with a thud on the ground..I cocked my head to the side in curiosity....Huh.. I thought she would bleed black blood or something...

"Well done boy...I knew I chose right...You are perfect to carry my name..You are braver than your father...I am proud of you"...I smiled as he said those words...I felt like I was being reborn...I made it my life's mission to hunt and kill them...all of them..

Present day

I smirked at the memory...I went inside the abandoned house and found him already sitting on one of the rusted chairs...He was facing one of the windows, I knew he was aware of my presence, after all he was a wolf...

"Jullian...to what do I owe the pleaure.."..He slowly stood up and faced me...His black hair and sharp features gave out that he was a wolf...His cold brown eyes smiled in mischief...

"Ahhh..if it isn't Blackblood in the flesh...I must admit, I didn't think you'd actually show...I'm surprised but mostly blessed to have one of the best hunters in the state infr..." I cut him off with a bored tone.

"Save the ass wiping for later..Tell me why have you called me here Jullian?"

He smirked and pointed to one of the rusted chairs for me to sit...I made my way and sat with one leg crossed on the other..

"I see you like getting straight to the point...Well lets...I need you to kidnap someone...She is a human.." Before I could cut him off with my 'I don't harm humans speech', he cocked his head to the side.

"This one is mated to my brother..She is a liability to him, and for your to finally kill Killian, she must be used as bait to lure him in...He is smart I'll give you that but I'm always a step ahead...He thought he could fool everyone by introducing another wolf as his mate but not me.." I cocked my head on the side..

"And whats in it for me? You know I kill your kind right...The only reason you're still alive is that you're my partner..You provide me with locations on where to find your kind...that's all...What makes you think I'll be interested in your brother and his mate?"..He smiled and placed an envelope infront of me..I opened the envelop..I took out the pictures and a breath was knocked out of my chest..I couldn't believe it .I looked at the picture again to make sure it was actually her...It was her..her beautiful brown hair escalated her shoulders..Her chocolate brown eyes smiled with kindness in the photo...Her cute nose and plum full lips were pulled in a beautiful smile..

"I thought you'd want to know that she is his mate.He took her against her will only to keep her locked in his dungeons because he knows his enemies will use her as his weakness..I know you know her very well..It would be a shame that she'd be killed by my brother because we both know how much he despises humans...Its only a matter of time before he snapps and kills her.."

I felt my anger rise at his words...No one had the right to kill her or have her..She was mine and mine alone..

I stood up and made my way to the rusted door..

"Consider it done..And leave your brother to me. No one takes what's mine...He will pay for taking her against her will and treating her like a slave when she's actually a queen"...

I didn't wait for his response and slamed the door..I will kill anyone who tries to harm her..She is mine and no one, wolf or man will take her from me..You're mine Lira, only mine...

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

WELL THAT'S DONE...I WONDER WHOSE THIS MISTERIOUS BLACKBLOOD...

Only one way to find out...

I love y'all 🥰🥰
