PART II-Chapter26:EXCEPT

Kira's heart paced faster as she ran through the woods, tracing the terrifying figure that to her utmost surprise, drained the blood of one of her pack members to death right before her eyes. Landon, her very dear childhood friend who was also the son of Marlene, the woman who had helped her mother give birth to her. She was hurt and furious that it was right in front of her that the vicious creature whose actual name they still didn't know, used it's mere teeth to drain a good portion of his blood out of him till he eventually died and she had just stood there helpless; not because she couldn't have helped but because everything that happened at that moment wasn't something she was expecting to happen and since it all happened so fast, she didn't get the chance to actually save him. She had not been able to comprehend everything that happened as her legs stood still and her eyes widened at the sight in front of her. She at least knew he looked a lot like her in the sense that he also looked human but the difference was he had a different kind of teeth that she didn't think any human or werewolf did. His teeth had grown longer and he had dug them deep into Landon's throat and weirdly, that was enough to drain the life out of him. She watched Landon cry in agony as he couldn't do anything to save himself and neither could she. It was until Landon's body laid on the ground, looking lifeless and completely pale that it all eventually dawned on her. 'So, this is what they look like and this is what they're actually capable of?' she wondered to herself as a lone tear rolled down her cheek. The male figure wiped the blood that dropped on the side of his lips with his hands and smiled at her with his bloody teeth irritating her and making her stomach churn. She furiously growled and shifted to her wolf form, going after him as fast as she could. She fortunately caught up with him and used her teeth to bite and tear him and once he realised that he was no match for her, he found a way to get out of her tight grip and ran into the woods and she followed in anger, wanting to kill him just as he had killed Landon. She had never been so furious in her life. The further she went into the woods, the more she remembered what her spiritual mother had told her. These creatures were going to be the doom of werewolf like her and after seeing what they could do with her own two eyes, she could tell they definitely possessed something they didn't and fighting against them would definitely not be easy and unfortunately, it would be a bloodbath. Finally meeting a dead-end, the retreating figure of the creature had nowhere else to run to so he pauses for a while, looking around for the best possible way to escape the furious wolf. Kira finally caught up with the retreating figure and this time, she didn't bother holding herself back as she jumped at him immediately and pushed her sharp claws into his throat without mercy. She watched as blood poured out of his throat in satisfaction and swore to find out where the rest of his people were hiding and do the exact same thing she just did to him to each and every one of them until they are no longer a threat to her people.
