Chereads / Wolf of Eteria / Chapter 4 - The Encounter with the Rouges

Chapter 4 - The Encounter with the Rouges

Rico seated in front of the Alpha and few elderly. He had told them everything happen. Specially, that corpse wasn't around the cave. All of them look at him not believing what they're heard.

"So you enter the cave? Then nothings there?" An elderly raised his brow. Is there any thing in this mountain that they don't know? They're living here for 4 generation yet this is the first time they hearing about this thing.

"Okay, this matter is getting out of hand. Let's gather more information about this cave. On another hand, do anyone had figure out why are there rouges on our territory?" Alpha sighed as he massage his forehead. There are many issues yet less solution and answer.

Their discussion proceed about the topics of rouges and how they'd prevent them. This go for half day till they come out of Alpha's hut.

Marcel seat on a corner of their hut as he fiddle his finger, which is his mannerism when he want to inform something. Anton quickly look for charcoal stick and something where Marcel can write. Even though they already become werewolves, they are born as human and been educated on how to write and speak according to right conducts and good manners.

Once Marcel had those, he quickly write about what happen. Everybody read it carefully and look at Marcel incredulously. This... Why it do remind them of there training method back at there beloved village. Stone being throw on all direction and you need to dodge them. Even though there village use needles with paralyzing medicine, the method are still the same.

"What do this mean?" Dennis asked while tapping his finger on the floor. As someone who is assign to the said 'village training ground' he ponders at this issue much more than his pals.

"On the other thought? Why would there be corpse there?" Criston follow as he look at Ricardo. After moments they couldn't squished out any legit answer.

As the higher echelon of pack are wrecking there heads about the matters they currently having, the young man who wears a white polo is walking at the forest. Occasionally, he will stop to pick some pebbles and put it on his pocket.

This continue before he climb on a fairly tall tree then jump to the other tree branches to reach the edge of the forest. Once he is near at the edge of the forest, he seat on the branch and watch the wolves below. There are two distinguished groups, one looks likes a platoon while the other group look likes scattered flies.

The young man sniff once before he smirk. He smelled anxiety and ferociousness from the two group. Clearly indicating there's a fight will happen without a doubt. He silently observe from his hidden position and prepare to watch a good fight.

Under everyone attention, one of the platoon wolves transformed back to human as his loud voice echo out. "Get out of our territory, or else..."

On the other side, a wolf turned to human as he intensely stared back at the man."Hmph. You surely very confidence, it's not like we coveted anything from your pack, to begin with your pack are just mobs who chase away from your true pack and decided to gather."

"You! Dare!" The man angrily shout but before he rebuts he sense the enemy takes there stands. He quickly shifted to his wolf form and ready himself.

The two sides are fully aware that once they decide to fight, it's death upon the losing side. The platoon wolves are truly ready to die yet not for the other side. They squint there eyes as they look pass the platoon wolves before intense emotion rise to them.

"Oh, what is this?" The young man beam as he follow the line of sight of the scattered wolves but he furrow his brows before pouting. 'There's nothing there'

"Hey, you fella's. Heard you have a battle genius mute on your pack. Where's that guy?" The man from before asked before sitting on the ground. The other wolves look at him curiously. The mute guy is unanimously the best warrior they had encountered from this pack and for them , sort of battle junkies, it is enticement to spar with him.

Right, this scattered wolves are just here for a good spar. Unknowingly to themselves they grown a habit to seek for adrenaline and battle lust. Having a candidate for them to beat is really a good motive. Don't you think?

The platoon wolves release growls as there eyes become more ferocious. Seeing this the other man smirk before shaking his head.

"Look here, if you by any chances, thinking that we are here as the same of those previous rouges, your wrong? We just purely want to have spar with that guy. Nothing else, I swear." He say as he raise his two arms before him. After saying that the platoon wolves look at each other before the three of them turned to human form again.

"Then will have a question for you, what are those rouges after in our territory?" One of the three asked.

"Oh that? I , myself, doesn't fully know but base on what I heard there's is this gem stone at one of your mountain territory that was drop by a witch. They say that gem have some this mystical power to make Omega's to Alpha once taken by them. I think it's because of this the some rouges are really interested trespassing your pack's territory." He said as he scratch his head.

'WHAT?!!!' the platoon wolves was shaken by this piece of news.

"Then why are you here? Is it because of that thing you're saying?" The other one spoke as he stared as the scattered wolves with more cautious. To think such thing was hidden there territory. Once the higher echelon of the pack knew this, they might overturn the mountains.

"Nah, like I said we are not the same as those lazy flies. I personally prefer to grown stronger by my own efforts than using those things. Don't you agree? Guys?" The man asked the other scattered wolves which answered by howled from them as sign of agreeing.

The platoon wolves look at incredulously. Oh what a group of quirky wolves they encountered this time.

"Okay, let's settle this. We will leave this time around but we are coming back by the full moon. Tell your battle genius we are looking for him and we want a spar with him." The man said as wait for the three respond. The three look at each other before nodding to the man.

"OK then, my friends and we'll take our leave first. You better make arrangements by now cause those rouges look likes really plan to go overboard this time around." He smilingly said as he turn around.

The platoon leader quickly reorganized with platoon before rushing back to pack camp and reporting the encountered. After knowing this piece of news, the elders are greatly troubled because of this news. That gem of the witch that the rouges are looking for is not here. How could they say? Because that freaking witch came back to reclaim that gem. It's Alpha father in-law who possess that gem. When the witch came she demand to quickly hand over the gem. There previous Alpha give it without a fight to avoid casualties. Even though they are werewolves, that witch is so powerful that the whole pack kneel down with the light press of her finger in the air.

After getting the gem back the witch laugh hysterically before looking at the whole pack with maliciousness in her vision. She raise her wrinkled finger and pointed at there Luna. To the whole packs surprised, the Luna started to cough blood and lay on the ground. Former Alpha confront the witch why did she do that to his wife only to be answer 'she's have pretty eyes, so I don't like to see it. '

Because of rage, the former Alpha attacked the witch but was killed by her in light sway of her creepy broom. Before the witch fly away she said 'Be thankful your whole body is intact, if I not looking for the hidden village, I wouldn't mind to littered your corpse around. '

After that incident, they don't have any news of the said witch ever again. And now there troublesome problem was again connected that bitch witch.

"To think it's that gem again. Since that gem isn't in the possession of our pack. There's nothing we could do but protect our territory. If those guys said the truth we shall strengthen our defense even more. Show no mercy to those malicious rouges." Alpha order.

"Yes Alpha. Then how about the request of those wolves? Alpha? Are we really let them challenge Marcel?" The platoon leaders asked anxiously. Alpha furrowed his brows upon this matter. To think quirky wolves will take the initiative to challenge Marcel in a spar. Even himself really acknowledge Marcel combatant skill specially when he is his wolf form.

"I strongly suggesting to let them do what they want, Marcel wasn't a easy target..." Riza humorously said at the side. To think somebody wants humiliate themselves, it can be a little entertaining.

"But those wolves will certainly not weak, if Marcel fight them all, he is in disadvantage part." The platoon leader earnestly said. The other elderly agreeing with the platoon leader yet what Riza said pacify them.

"And so we are, it isn't like Marcel is a lone wolf. If anything unexpected is to happen, I and the others will certainly move." Riza said joyfully.

It might be a simple words yet it made Alpha to furrowed his brows. It was like she saying that if ever Marcel defeated, her and their companions will handle the matter themselves. As if considering themselves not part of this pack.

It wasn't Alpha alone read behind the meaning of Riza's words. Quite number of elderly also stupefied of this. Considering both Riza and Marcel importance to the pack, if they where to choose to leave it will surely a thorny problem for all of them.

"As if the pack will let those rouges bully Marcel, we will make sure to protect every member of our pack." an elderly near the Alpha quickly shouted and the other elderly agrees.

"Shall then, let those quirky wolves look for Marcel." Alpha announced as he look intended to Riza who just smile cheerfully to him. This girl really knows way with word. Just few phrase make the pack situation unsettled. How interesting.

At the wide fields few kilometers from the edge of forest, a group of wolves are running and jumping on each other. From time to time, few of them will turned to human to counter attack the wolf forms then turned back to wolf form before continuing to wrestle each other.

From a far, it looks like a group of there is a fairly good fight between the wolves, yet once you look at there eyes you'll be certain that there is no ill intend.

Unknowingly to them, a young man is hiding at one of the huge stone and observing them leisurely. When the young man smile and stare at that interesting thing before looking around again. After getting bored on watching the fight, he decided to walk back at the forest.

The moment he leave one of the wolf turned to human and look at huge stone.

"What is it? Angelo?" One of them asked.

"Is feels like somebody is there?" He reply while pointing at the top of the huge stone. After saying those, the two climb up the stone to look. Once they were there, they didn't see anything beside fruits seeds and some eaten fruits. From the looks of its wasn't a long time since this fruit is eaten. The two look at each other with ashen expression.

This whole time, they are being watched without them knowing it. After being rouges for a period of time. It is likely there sense of feeling the others are heighten yet they didn't detect this one.

Oh looks like something really up with this area.

The sun is already settling down as the darkness enveloped the sky .

On a certain part of the forest, a young man is peacefully walking towards the inner sanctum of the forest. From time to time, he would stop and stand still for a matter of time before continuing.

It was like that till he reach a certain little spring. He sit at a tree branch near the bank. He smirked before looking at a darken area if the forest.

"Why don't you just start? It's been since at the edge of the forest, attack already." He said mischievously. Once he said those words, at the darkness, certain lights reflect back from the moonlight. Seven quite big wolves appeared from the darkness surrounding the young man.

One of them look at the young man maliciously. Growled of stomach can be heard. This make the young man chuckled.

"So? Do you decided that am I your dinner tonight?" He asked as he stand. The surrounding wolves quickly take there attack stance as they stare intended at him.

"Then,you are very much welcome to attack, but with regards who'll be eaten is decided by the destiny?" He laugh as he place his hands on his waist. Before he sent the wolves a lofty smirked and saying "Come at me in once."
