Everyone are happy and celebrated with Reka and the elders with the good news about Megan being one of their new leaders of the pact. She has a lot to learn and needs Jade to help her out on this important feat. Reka knew how much Jade loved Megan but this needs to be done for the future of the pact and their generation. Jade understood her task and she brought Megan to the elders. Being Veena was just an act so that Megan would fall for her and trust her. Jade is a very good actress but she thought she could fool herself when she said she'll not fall in love with Megan. But she was wrong nd not she's hurting.
She loves Megan like her life depended on it and losing the one person who accepted and cherished her for years, would be the death of her. Reka knew that this would be difficult for Jade but she assured her that she can be with Megan even if they marry. Jade didn't want to be a mistress or someone that Meg would only have for for a time. She wanted Megan for herself but then again that would be selfish, for Megan is for the world and should be shared because the world would benefit on her being the one of the head of the pact.
***************************************************
Megan will marry Reka, the cursed wolf who is in fact a man. She is a male specie of wolves that had been cursed due to her betrayal when she copulated and married a vampire in her past. She is still suffering from that mistake and now that Meg is here to reverse the curse. She can't wait to be her own self again, a wolf man and not a woman. Though she took advantage of the perks of being a woman, it is still good to feel her toned body and speak in her low and husky voice, Reka smiling while thinking about her permanent transformation when she and Meg marries this Saturday. This union will be a secret and will only be known in the wolf pact. But Meg will still live her life as a doctor and will live with Jade as what is her regular life really consist of. Meg couldn't reveal her wolf side of her for the world couldn't accept someone like her, an animal inside a human and rough, hairy or furry, has fangs and eats human flesh or carcasses. Though as a wolf living in the 21st century, we live a normal and civil life. We learned to cook and grow our on food mostly plants, fruits and vegetables. We care for lambs, deers and chickens for emergencies if we desired for meat and no longer can resist our thirst and hunger for blood and flesh of humans.
We learned to resort to cultured meats so the taste would be similar to human flesh. So we wouldn't crave from humans and just be content on the meats we have in the farm. But during the pandemic, Covid surely killed millions of people and we in the pact needed food to eat. For many years we have suffered and famished living a filthy life underground, hidden on dungeons and secluded places where we were thrown and put in chains, shackles. We had enough of the world's condemnation and due to our uncontrollable hunger, thirst and rage, we ravaged anyone in sight young and old, sick or not and ate them. Like ghosts in the night and death claiming lives even if it's not their time, we took each and every life because we have had it with your uncaring and corrupt nature. You selfishly took our food from the seas, lands and air illegally. Our wildlife is no longer wild and free for you boxed and caged our animals in zoos, homes and reserves.
We no longer had enough food or meat to eat and we were left dead, starving for many years because of your greed and arrogance. We wanted you to pay for your mistakes, however, we have learned our lesson too from all this. That as much as we needed the meat of animals, we also needed you to care and grow them for us. Without you in the world, we won't have technology and plantations of vegetables, fruits and spices. Without you, we won't have potable water to drink and homes to shelter us. We are all interconnected. We need you and you need us too. We need each other to have a world in abundance, harmony and sound communication.
We don't need to take sides or rage war against each other but live harmoniously together for the now and for our future, Winslow recalled when he read a book that Reka's grandfather wrote to all members of the pact in 1100's. How long have I been like this?, Winslow asked himself while seated on his chair at his study room, with his infamous pipe sucked on his mouth. I was friends with Reka's grandfather and I have been living in this world for far too long, haha!, those were the days when we could roam and run around the forest free and untouched. How I wish I could live it once again and ....
Maybe you can and I'll give that to you, now!, an unknown voice said while lurking near the window of Winslow's cabin. Maybe you can , but my blood would be howling for justice once you take my life...
Tsk, tsk, you old hog, you shouldn't have said that. Who will howl again in the night, if you're dead, you'll not!, the shadow of the strange individual came right in and slit Winslow's neck where blood flowed like river towards the ground. The murderer struck the knife on Winslow's chest and the old fellow breathed his last when the knife was pulled out from him. Farewell old man! Arrivederci! (until we meet again!).
The news of Winslow's gruesome death flew like smoke all through-out the world. Reka's world was shattered when she heard about his death for Winslow is like a father to her when her grandfather died long before she could even meet him. She was very young when her granddad passed away. Winslow was the one who cared for her and the only one who fought and protected her in the pact. So now that he's gone what will happen to her and the council? Reka thought that one of her elders might happen to order someone to kill her grandpa. And she will find out whatever it takes and put the culprit, the one who did this revolting action against our backs, to trial. Find him!
If you only knew Reka, Winslow killed your grandfather and I was the only one there who clearly saw what happened, that unfaithful night of year 1160, the murderer whispered while he is looking at Reka while she is sound asleep, too tired from crying. The strange individual stayed at the rooftop to avoid being seen and caught by the guards and some members of the pact that were ordered to look and bring the killer to be put to trial in Revilum high court.
Megan and Jade are holding each other's hands while in bed tonight. Alicia and Moira went camping near the lake and it's been an awful night for everyone when they heard of Winslow's death.
It's not what I really expected when we went out here to take a vacation. I thought Meg's appointment as one of Revilum's leaders would go as smooth as we came here, what, like a week ago. Hmm!, I expected too much and now I'm disappointed!, Alicia murmured while Moira is napping inside the tent they made just a couple of hours ago. They too heard of Winslow's death and it made them realize that even if they seem untouchable they can still be killed, with the right weapon and a more clever killer. He was slaughtered, he wasn't just murdered, Alicia!, Moira said while pulling herself together coming out of the tent.
Well, it was an unfortunate event but I wonder who did it and what was his intention, especially now that Meg's installation as a leader is happening on Saturday, Alicia added and Moira moved closely to put her arms around Alicia while she is facing the lake. It is peaceful and the air is fresh and the breeze is silently caressing both of their hairs. When Alicia felt goose bumps come all over her body and motioned Moira to keep silent putting her pointy finger on her lip, shushing her girl.
Then out of the blue, came wolves out of the lake like animals coming out of their cages. Alicia immediately transformed and shouted to Moira to do the same but since she's still a novice she had hard time on doing it. She forced herself to change into the furry animal but she couldn't maybe because of fear or the moment. Okay just warn the others and I'll follow you after I kick some hairy butts, go, go!!!, Alicia said through Moira's mind and ordered her to warn the others, so she ran quickly and eventually changed to a wolf when she was escaping the ambush. She saw Alicia following her and didn't see her girlfriend after she heard one wolf and another were thrown, punched, slapped and scratched.
