"Alpha Twix, good morning!"

Two men stand up immediately when they see Twix coming from the main house.

"How's he?"

"Nothing much. Same thing every day. He will wake up, screaming and we need to put him to sleep back. He ate a lot but was still weak," says one of the guards.

"That's not him, it's his wolf. He is hungry because he was bound and has a high urge to mate. So, he is constantly hungry," Twix is just about to step in when he feels something is wrong.

"Mir?" he pushes the door open.

It's too quiet. The silence feels estranged. Twix sniffs the air.

That's odd.

"Oracle, call the medical team. Fitz, call my dad," Twix runs upstairs at once. He smashes the door.

"Mirmo!"

The man laying on the floor, lifeless. There's a blood pool next to him. Twix quickly held him in his embrace.

"Mir! Mir!"

"I tried, but I failed. I can't let my wolf kill you guys. I am sorry..."

"No! What are you- hey!"

Mirmo pushes him away. His energy is superb. He is a beast now.

"Mir... Calm your wolf down..." Twix wants to scream and fight, but that's a wrong move for now.

"I'm sorry, Twilight. But I had enough of all of you, bounding him in a chain like an animal. Just want you to know, no matter what kind of shit they put me into, I am boundless," Mirmo smirks. His eyes changed into lighting green.

"Mo..."

Slowly, the beast appears in front of him, with shining black fur of gigantic size. Twix squints when the beast breaks the wall and runs away.

"Mo! Wait!"

Too late.

"Yoon, what are you trying to do?"

Yoon ignores Joon. He is walking with fury and worry. He needs to find the control room before it's too late. Looking around in this gigantic building is just like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"Justin, what's next?"

"Turn left and... Wait... Guards..."

Yoon takes his gun, assembles the mini silencer, and releases some shots, hitting two guards on his left and smacking down one on right.

"No! Yoon, stop it!"

"Don't worry, I just put them to sleep," Yoon snaps his gun and turns left. He enters the control room. Eyes on the monitor.

"Baby, where are you?"

***

"Stop! Mo!" Twix runs out of the house.

"Twix! What happened?"

"Dad, wait here. Tell Yokuso to prepare two emergency rooms. Fire the alarm. Now!"

"But-"

They startle and freeze on their feet. Screams coming from the community area.

"Fire the alarm!" one of Ouran's right men growls from far. A few minutes later, they can see green smoke coming from the base.

"I hope it's not too late..." says Ouran. At this moment, anything can happen. A wild werewolf just escaped in such a dangerous condition. Everyone is in great danger.

They decide to turn back to the community area. It's a huge mess. Everyone escapes the compound and hides in their houses. Two guards, already transformed themselves try to stop Mo. But, with only one swing, both of them yelping in pain.

"Mo! Stop! NOW!" Ouran screams at the werewolf. He turns around and stares at them with his red fiery eyes. All of sudden, he charges forward. Swinging his big huge palm to sweep them away.

"Alpha!" Puff pushes the old man away. He transformed himself into a greyish grudge wolf and pushes Mo away from them. But, Mo is a strong opponent. Puff's wolf struggles a lot before he gets a huge blow and flies across the compound.

"MIRMO!"

Puff is lucky that Mo diverts his attention from him. Twix's screams disturb the wolf a bit. He snots and growls loud.

"Come back, Mir!" says Twix. The wolf howls before running into the reservation area.

"I need to find him before it's too late!"

"We are coming with you-"

"No! We are talking about Mo, walking solo now. He took over Mir in whole now. I couldn't risk your life. Stay here in this compound and protect the village," says Twix.

Twix runs as fast as he can and releases Twilight; a soft fluffy white wolf. He dashes fast, like a lightning, straight into the reservation.

Byul tip toes, slowly strolling along the aisle on the second floor. It's dead silent and a little bit chill. She feels anxious, this can't be good for sure! the silence kills her.

She trusts her instinct that Yoon is in danger when he is suddenly lost on the radar. She leave her checkpoint and even threw away the communication device because her instinct tells her that Yoon is probably in trouble now. There's a voice in her head that makes her drawn into the building. Her anxiety eats her this time.

Talk to me, honey!

She carefully examines the floor, one door after another. Nothing suspicious so far. The building looks like a normal hospital with lots of doors and is clean.

Here...

Byul turns her head. She can hear a voice like Yoon is calling her. She closes all her senses, focusing only on the voice that she heard before.

Here...

She opens her eyes. The voice comes from behind one of the rooms. She walks closer to the wall and observes each door until she meets a door.

A strange white door.

***

"Calm down, Yoon!"

Yoon ignores his earpiece. It's important to find Byul before something bad happens. His eyes wildly scrolled one after another camera in the control room.

"Yoon!"

"Shut up, everyone. I need to focus," his hooded eyes explain his disappointment. He inspects every camera over and over again until he sees a familiar silhouette.

"Justin, can you trace the location of Camera 11?" Yoon talks in a shaking voice.

"Second floor. Just above yours," Yoon takes his gun and leaves the room in silence.

He needs to find Byul. He must find her.

***

Byul stands still inside the room. She is doubting whether she should walk even farther or just hop out of the room. Everything seems strange. It's a long, never ending aisle. The red lighting adds creepy vibes inside the room.

But, she has urged to follow the voice that is coming from the room. It's now, or never.

Slowly, she takes a few steps ahead. Carefully look around, in case of any suspicious activity.

Wait-

She freezes. Turns her head to her side.

Someone is watching her.

Byul hops backward and squats down. Her eyes turned purplish.

She crumbles her fist. Silvery clouds of dust scatter on the floor.

"You guys knew..."

Slowly, the room gets bright with red lights. Four figures are standing right in front of her. Byul smirks and stands up slowly.

"Expected..." Byul throws out the empty casing. She draws a half circle on the floor.

This gonna be an inevitable fight.

Like thunder, one of the figures charges her with a long, sagged sword. Byul bends back and dodges the attack in such graceful twirls on her toe. She swings her left foot directly towards the attacker's head and slams the head down. From behind, another attacker throws a dagger across the room, targeting her chest. But, Byul twists her body to the side and flicks the dagger away from her body.

Two attackers run around the room, and take their position on the left and right. One of them uses a bow with a lightning arrow to attack Byul. She grips the arrow that flies straight to her face.

Smells like lavender and...

Byul throws away the arrow. She is about to run towards the marksman when another figure stops her from behind. She feels a sting sharp pain in her forearm. The attacker slices the skin with a sharp object. A knife probably.

She throws a punch on his face. A hard blow. Then, she flips backward before the figure recharges and attacks her again.

Based on the introduction attack, it is obvious.

They want her dead.

But, what's the motive?
