The Wade's family complex for the first after the death of Alexander Wade became extremely busy, security triple and many members of the main family was present
this includes Helene and Mansion who were locked in a silent battle shooting each other a deadly glare from where they stood.
a car pulled in and an handsome young man about the age of Helene and Mansion alight from it, he carries the demeanor of the wade and air around him is suffocating.
he stroll into the main complex with strolden steps, no one dare to stop him or question him as he walked passed the numerous people stopped at the gate.
"dear sister" his aloof temperament took a drastic change when he saw Helene, taking the features of a tamed beast
"Stephan!" both of them exchanged cordial hugs, "you sure took your time in returning"
"forgive me sister, gats take care of everything abroad before returning home, wouldn't want any hooligan creating problem for dear sister business while I'm away"
"thoughtful of you Stephan, it's good to have you back though"
"the pleasure is all mine, I feel so alive being back home." he turned towards Mansion, beaming him a cocky smile. "why is the hunch hear?"
Helene didn't bother tracing his line of sight as she already knew who he was referring to. "little Alex got hit on, he is in a critical situation right now. Victor summoned us here as per this matter
my guess is, he believes one of us had made a move on him for our own selfish gain"
"well he has his right to be suspicious of such activities, especially with the moron of a brother you got competing with you"
Mark growled angrily when he heard this statement, though Stephan was saying it out loud but he is sure certain they would hear him due to their enhanced physique
an Mark reaction sure gave him that pleasure, the grin on his face grew wilder seeing this.
"let him be Mark, it would be lowly of we to associate with dogs at the bottom of the food chain" Stephan grin was watched off his face instantly
what Mansion said had struck a cord or two in him and Mark was satisfied with the reaction that he took the liberty to add a pinch of salt to it
"you are right Mansion, it ought to be expected of a band of stray led by a deluded dog"
the atmosphere in the room dropped immediately, Helene calm demeanor took a swift change, same with her features which had transformed
her nail had elongated into claws, her canine piercing down her lips and her eyes glowing golden Amber.
the exact same changes took place on Mansion as both began growling at each other, the same feature took place on Stephan and Mark too, just a different color of glowing eyes as it became a show off on both side.
before the flame could explode, an even deeper growl resonate through the entire room. "silence" the fuse that was about to go off disperse instantly as all of them felt chill run down their spine.
"Now do any of you mind telling me what happen to young Alex, I suggest you all start talking and fast"
"I don't want to result to extreme majors to get answer I need, I bet you all, that won't be a beautiful scene" Mary added from behind Victor.
"if anyone has anything to say amongst us, that would be Helene. she is so good at assassinating her own blood recently"
"I'll say the same for my dear brother Mansion, results of your latest hobby is still fresh in my lobby" Helene retort with a sentiment piercing to the bone.
their little discussion was interrupted by the entrance of someone else coming out from within, thick precipitation oozing down his forehead.
"Mr Victor" the mid age man beckon victor and Mary to come over
"I fear things aren't what they seems Mr Victor, young Alex has been poisoned and from the look of it
he isn't going to make it, he is currently in deep pain and agony, his inside churning from immerse pain."
"what sort of poison could be so potent you can find a cure to it Wilfred" Mary cut in immediately she heard the state of things.
"I'm afraid you don't want to hear this, but I have no other choice but to tell you how it is
young Alex has been poisoned with lycantox and it seems to be a very potent dosage.
who ever poison him knew how to create the original recipe of the lycantox poison"
both Victor and Mary felt they didn't hear correctly, infact it's just too unbelievable to think that thing still exists.
"how is that possible, every record about that poison has been erased from history through time
even information of the lesser version of it has been confiscated and hidden away by decree.
anyone found with information or practices of making this poison is to be put to death instantly
so how can that poison still exist, tell me you made wrong assumption"
"I'm afraid it is what it is Mary, even I found it impossible to believe. thanks for the miniature amount induce on him, else Alex would have been a dead man by now."
"what is going on over there, why are they having such expression on. is Alex dead or something?" Stephan couldn't help but wonder seeing the trio pacing back and front a few distance away.
"I'm as curious as you are Stephan, it just so happens those monsters know how to regulate their voice to a level even our enhanced hearing can't pick a clue of what they are saying" Helene replied with a frown
"perk of being old foggy, aside the Wade's family hidden elders, they are the next powerful figure of our family."
while both Helene and Stephan were having their little discussion, Mark received a call which change his temperament for a moment before ending the call.
"it's seem like our boy Terry has arrived in town, unfortunately he had paid one of our dear sister private sector."
Mansion frown hearing this, he stole a glance at Helene for a moment lost on what to say, "get in touch with him now and tell him to stay his hand, he should return at once if he doesn't want old hag Mary on his trail"
Mark swiftly Sprint into action, leaving the complex as fast as he could. this action didn't escape the notice of the others but Mansion wore a perceive look on his face like nothing bothers him.
"so what can we do, this poison has no cure from what I remember. it's a sure end for who ever it's inflicted on, even more so for werewolves
we can't allow young Alex to die, this ain't old time where they are limited in terms of knowledge and resources
use everything you got and give us a god result" victor pressure Alfred who found himself in a dilemma.
"I'm going for a walk outsider to catch some air, I believe there would be good news once I return" Mary spoke with heavy tone.
nobody stopped her as it obvious she wants to go blow off some pent up steam, they could only sorry for who the receiving end would be.
she got outside with an heavy heart, board her car and left the family complex to heavens knowns where.
"come on Alfred, talk to me. there has to be something that can be done, I'm not taking no for an answer."
Alfred pause for a long while in thought before finally come up with something he believes could work.
"I'm not entirely sure because it has never been done through out history but from the working of this poison, it quiet possible if would work."
Victor heavy a little sigh of relief, "what's it that can be done then?"
"first let me explain my hypothesis, which includes how this poison was made so we can walk the solution through together"
Victor nodded for him to go ahead, "from what I know, the lycantox is a potent poison made to target the unique biological makeup of werewolves
with the extract of silver leaf extract know fo it affinity to werewolf biology and nightshade berries do it's paralysis properties that slow down the werewolf metabolism, making it hard for them to heal naturally
wolfbane essence and crush moonstone are just added ingredients to enhance the potency of the poison especially under moonlight and full Moon."
"you forgot the bloodroot essence"
"I was getting to that because that where I'm basing my hypothesis on. usually the bloodroot essence is an ingredient that lock on the target blood, acting as an agent and trigger for the other ingredients
when induced on a werewolf, it locked on to its active and dominant gene which is that of its wolf side but..."
"young Alex hasn't activated his wolf gene yet and is prone to undergo biological changes when his werewolf bloodline activates
creating a transition that transform his human blood and gene to that of a werewolf"
Alfred nodded satisfied like a teacher happy his students had been paying attention all along.
"so you are saying if we trigger Alex werewolf bloodline, there is a chance the poison would lose it effect on him due to the change"
"exactly"
"this is going to be tough, unfortunately we have no other choice at hand. we can't let little Alex die
you just have to deal with it Eunice, seems like your plea for a different approach wouldn't cut it this time".
while victor was going through his own monologue on how best to deal with this tricky situation, Mary car had just pulled into one of the powerful family of the city complex.
the second she alight from the car, it's was pretty obvious things would take a turn for the worse because she was in her partial transformation mode.
