"That's what happened. It's the reason why we couldn't tell you. It's because we know how you would react." Jacob said ending his story.
Sophie's face was sad as tears ran through her cheek. 'So this is what happened to my husband?' She thought. 'All of them must pay.'
BUZZ!
A message entered their watches. Looking at the watch, Miller could see the notification that it was currently 9:59. A minute before 10:00PM - The time for curfew.
"We better get..." Miller said.
THUD!
That sound interrupted Miller's speech. Miller turned his gaze to look at the direction of the noise and behold he could see Sophie behind Jacob. Her right hand clawed stretched and hardened, the claws were placed on Jacob's neck. Her other arm wrapped Jacob's stomach area, also preventing his hand from moving.
With his super hearing, Miller could hear Jacob's heartbeat. It was one of fear. Jacob body was shaking slightly with fear.
"No, Sophie, don't do it," Miller said, his hands stretched forward, "you don't want to do something you'll regret in the future."
"I would think of the future later." She said firmly to Miller and then to Jacob, she said. "May your soul be tormented for eternity!"
SQUELCH!
"No...!" Miller shouted, but it was too late, as Jacob's throat has already been cut by Sophie's claws, Jacob fell on the floor, as his life has been ended.
SPLOOSH!
From where the claws has penetrated. Blood could be seen leaving at a fast rate.
"Why did you do that?" Miller asked her, he went on his knees close to Jacob and tears where leaving his face. Jacob was a friend to him, Sophie was also one. To be honest, he couldn't blame her, He too would kill the Mutant that murdered his father, if he had a chance.
"Don't worry, he isn't dead, at least not now." Sophie said firmly as she left the place with super speed.
"What does she mean?" Miller asked the System as she left the place.
"Werewolves have a tough skin, tougher than a normal Vampire," The System said, "even though her claws penetrated his throat, his body would try it's best to heal itself, but at the end, he is going to die. The wound wouldn't heal completely as he is losing a lot of blood, his life essence."

"Why would you remind me of a quest, right now of all time?!" Miller asked the System, angrily.
"Miller, you can turn him into a minion of your own. He would become a Werewolf Mutant," The System replied. "you have to do it now, before he dies. If he is dead, you wouldn't be able to it. He would be lost forever."
"I am sorry, Jacob." Miller said, he stretched his palm and using Jacob's hardened claws, he pierced his palm, making blood pour out of it. It was clear that Jacob was hardening his claws when Sophie was about to end his life. Miller placed his bleeding palm on Jacob's neck, where the wound was. It wasn't necessary for Jacob to take it through his mouth.
It was only two drops that left his right palm, because his healing factor kicked in, closing the place where the blood dripped from.
The two drops of blood left Miller's palm, although they were small. It did the work, it was supposed to do. As it touched Jacob's throat area, his body healed at a fast rate, and after a minute or two, Jacob opened his mouth alive as if he was trying to catch his breath.
"Aroooo!"
Shockingly it was the first words that came from Jacob's mouth. Instead of a 'thank you'. It was the Werewolf's howl. Jacob body was still lying on the floor and he did the howl effortlessly. What Miller noticed was that Jacob's howl was much louder than before.

All the Werewolves were in Alexander's office, waiting for Sophie. They could all be seen fidgeting. Finally the door to the office was opened and when it was opened all the Werewolves could see that it was Sophie.
"You are finally here," Alexander said with relief, "I thought you weren't going to make it."
"Oh, well, here I am." She said angrily. 'I would rather take them one by one secretly, I can't fight them all at once.' Sophie thought.
"What's with the rude attitude?" Benjamin questioned Sophie.
"You are asking me?" She asked a Rhetorical Question. "The last time I checked, it was you that was always the rude person here."
"I am sorry for asking," Benjamin said in a soft tone. Sophie crossed her arms around her chest, frowning her face also in the process.
"So I believe we all know what to do now," Alexander said ignoring Sophie's and Benjamin's argument. "We have to fight the Vampires in the woods... They are already waiting."
"Before we leave, Is there anything we would like to tell each other!" Sophie said, still angry, "We all know that we are likely not to see the next day." She said the real truth.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Benjamin said, trying to calm himself down. Sophie was acting really, really strange.
"Oh, I never knew your hot-head could even notice my behavior." Sophie insulted Benjamin. "Weren't you always stupid? This was why the military made you a Martial Arts teacher, It's because you're a hot-head and can't retain the least information!"
SWOOSH!
Benjamin ran at full speed, he swung his claws, but before he could move it successfully, someone draged his right hand from behind, making his attack unsuccessful.
"Bring it on. I am ready for it. All of it!" Sophie said.
"No one is fighting her!" Alexander who had stopped the fight said in an authoritative manner.
"It's because you weren't the one insulted!" Benjamin said to Alexander.
"Oh, Is insulting you not better. Or should I just call you a murderer — My husband's murder!" Sophie said with so much anger in her voice. Her claws stretched out, it was clear that she was ready to pounce on them any second. Even if she was strong, she wasn't stupid to attack the entire pack or anyone especially now that the Vampires want them 'dead'.
Benjamin bent down his head in shame and he could feel sorrow inside himself, "It wasn't my plan to do it. I never wanted to do it. I am still angry at myself. Whenever I see your face, I always remember what I did. it's okay if you want to kill me. I would take it honorably..."
"No!" Alexander said, interrupting Benjamin's speech. Benjamin raised his head to look at Alexander, tears could be seen flowing down Benjamin's eyes like a stream. "No one is dying, at least not now." He said firmly.
Alexander then looked at Sophie and pleaded. "We are all involved in what happened to your husband and if you want to punish Benjamin. You must punish us all." He then looked at the other Werewolves and said. "We would take it honorably."
Sophie used the palm of her hand to clean the tears off her face and said. "Let's go deal with those Vampires. Let's make my Late Husband proud."
