Jon's POV
THREE MONTHS LATER, BROOKLYN PRECINCT
It has been three months since my son was kidnapped from his school. The man who kidnapped him was Max Storm but I couldn't do a thing against. When my son was taken, he went with this man willingly so technically he was not kidnapped. We searched every property he has and every friend's he has but I didn't find anything not even a shred of evidence to keep him in custody so he was let go even with my protest. My captain helped me by using the full force of the precinct but still we couldn't find a hair from both of them. We lost, I lost.
I am even afraid to go home, facing my wife and son. I don't know what to do. I feel like a loser, as a father, as a husband even as a police officer.
Pop pop… my phone screen lighted up. I picked up to see who messaged me, it was an unknown number. I opened the screen lock and the message displayed
[ If you want to see your sons alive, come to the pinned location. If there is a so much as an ant or a fly extra except you and your wife, you will only find their dead body. Don't test my limits sergeant, come alone.

A pinned location
]
When I read the message, my anger suddenly exploded, then it suddenly receded as I calmly assessed the situation. This is the first tangible clue I got, so I had to take a risk for my family. Thus, I calmly exited the precinct and went home. I told my wife what happened and went to the pinned location. When I reached there, I saw it was a private building. There was no one on the ground floor, so we took the elevator up. As soon as we stepped out of floor, something hit the back of my head and I fell unconscious and the last thing I saw was a bright red eye's.
9PM, STORM'S PRIVATE VAULT
I slowly opened my eyes saw that I was tied to a pillar and gagged along with my wife and younger son. I looked around to find a way to maneuver my hands to escape but I couldn't then I heard sounds of footsteps and vault door opening. He came in and looked at us with a smile and said
"Hi, Mr. walker, Mrs. Walker, Little Walker."
"Where is our son?" I asked
"Well we will get to that." He said and continued
"First, aren't you curious why I kidnapped him and you?" He asked and continued without waiting to hear the reply
"Well let's begin from the start, three months ago your son was bit by me."
"Why did you bite my brother? Are you a dog?" Zach murmured to himself chuckling
When Max heard it, his veins throbbed, being mocked by a kid, a weakling, his eyes changed to bright red and a low throaty growl was heard as he replied grinning "I am a werewolf and I turned your brother into it."
Zach got terrified when he saw this and hid behind me. My wife got irritated and lashed out at him
"Leave my son alone. What do you want? Where is my son, Nick?"
Max chuckled seeing that there were terrified and said
"Well, your son is behind that door. So, are you excited for the reunion?"
Then he walked out towards the vault door, opened it and walked out of the vault when a man came and dropped a black ash on the floor.
Nick's POV
I have been locked here for three months. After the first full moon, spending here I understood what he wanted to do. He wanted to make me more bloodthirsty and more ferocious so that I will play according to his wishes.
I don't know how long he plans to keep me locked. I only feel sorry for my parents who must be shocked and terrified as I was missing for full three months. That's when I heard the door opening, I slowly got up and walked out. as I limped past the door, I heard max say
"Mr. walker, do you know why I brought to here today?"
"Why?" Jon asked scowling
"Because you are his weakness, by making him kill you I will get my perfect beta."
When I heard him say that, it all clicked for me. He knew by using normal means he can't control me. So, he starved me and threw my parents into this. Fuck that bastard. I panicked and I ran towards him with all my strength before the moonlight could hit me but before I could touch him, I was deflected back by a barrier. I got confused and got up to see what happened and I saw mountain ash covering the room in a circle.
"I am sorry my beta, you are surrounded by mountain ash and the only way I let you out of this room by killing them."
As he said that, moonlight seeped through the windows and touched my face. All the urges and starvation I was forced to held back for three months was released. The only thing my mind was searching for now was people to kill. I looked behind me, I saw my father and my mother shielding my terrified brother.
I dashed towards them to rip them apart. As I was about to slash my claw at my father, he broke from his bindings and held me and said solemnly
"Son, I am sorry that I couldn't reach to you before. I disappointed you as your father, but I plead you after you kill me protect your mother and brother. You should know I have never stopped looking for you and I love you son." After saying that, he looked at me to take me on in order to protect them or maybe even me.
For a second rationality came to my eyes, while the urges were trying to control me. I looked at him for a few seconds and then threw him away towards a wall.
"uff, family drama and love" Max said cheerfully watching me threw my father away and then walked towards my mother.
I raised my hands was slamming it into my mother's direction. As I was inches away from my mother and brother face, I stopped. Clarity and rationality came back to me. I looked at their faces and saw horror stricken and terrified mom and brother. My heart ached and I started fighting the urges and bloodlust. I pulled back the claws and moved away from them.
I started chanting the mantra fighting the urges but it was getting increasingly difficult and that's when I heard max say angrily
"Kevin, remove the ash I will kill them with my own hands."
I looked at him and then at the family. That's when I understood if me and my family want to survive today, then Max must die. For that to happen, I must pass the hurdle of mountain ash. I resolutely stood up and with an unwavering will walked towards the barrier.
I reached it and then pushed my hands against it. It was painful, a searing hot pain but I gritted through it. With all power and will, I pushed and pushed, finally I broke through the barrier.
Then I heard Kevin laugh madly and gloatingly say
"Max, you wanted a powerful beta but your atrocities created an Alpha, a True Alpha."
I looked at max and for a second, I saw fear in his eyes. I grinned at him and stretched my claws and slashed at him. He dodged and slashed at me. I somersaulted, catching his forearm and threw him against the wall with all my strength.
BAM BAM
He was slammed into it hardly. I walked towards him, took his throat by my hand stabbing my sharp claws into his neck and said with a low growl
"You tried to kill my family, in my diary, there is only one ending to it. Death."
I didn't wait for his reply as I snapped his neck hard.
Then I turned back to Kevin and asked
"Have you killed an innocent?"
"No"
I listened to his heartbeat and I couldn't find any discrepancies.
"What is your real name?"
"Kevin Wilbert"
His heartbeat didn't fluctuate as I looked at him for few seconds and said domineeringly
"Okay, Kevin I don't care what role you played in this? But from this moment on you forget what happened here? If anybody in this whole earth, come to search for me for being a true alpha and hurts me or anyone around me. I will hunt you down. Do you understand?"
"Yes" Kevin replied gulping.
"What should I if some one asks how he died?" He asked
"You can say whatever you want except I he was killed by me as a True Alpha."
"Okay" He replied
I shifted back to human and then walked to the vault. I saw my father trying to get up while my mother was comforting my brother. I quickly went to help my dad and took him to my mom. When Zach saw me coming, he swiftly hid behind our mother and dropped his head down. When I saw it, I became sad. I knew what I did made him terrified of me. I let it be and let time heal it as I asked mom
"How are his injuries?"
"Just a few broken ribs and a broken wrist. Nothing else." Mom replied
"I am fine, buddy." Dad said to me with a convincing smile.
"Yeah, yeah dad but you should sit down." I said with a smile seeing him acting tough
"Dad, what will we do about this mess?" I asked with a headache about the events
"I will call it in. But first I have to make sure he is dead." Dad said as he got a distinct bullet from his pocket loaded into the gun and shot at the center of his head.
"But how will we explain all this?" Mother asks worriedly
"Let's say he is the serial killer and I was immune to the poison he injected into me through his dog. So, he kidnapped me to complete this task and find a way to counteract the poison. But seeing he couldn't get any results, he tried to kidnap you all in order to have a few more guinea pigs. There is even evidence here that can be used to corroborate the story."
When Jon and Kat heard this, their eyes lit up. My father took his phone and called it in. After half an hour, precinct captain with full cavalry came to the scene. Then we all provided our testimonies and went home. By the time we reached home, the sun has started to slowly rise in the horizon.
