Chapter 2: The Darkness
"Darkness will become your life. All I see is black in your future," a voice kept echoing in Seth's mind while he stood over the she-wolf who had just given birth to sextuplets.
She had locked her door when she heard her husband crying out for her to hide. She heard every cry, every wail, every gurgle, every plea her husband made to Seth to leave them alone. But like an unstoppable hurricane, Seth kept coming at them.
She could not see her husband, only the blood flowing near the door that was now broken in half. Seth took down the door with one kick. She even heard how Seth was there to kill the new born pups, parents were just in the way. What did her kids do to him? Why he wanted to kill them?
Giving birth to her pups rendered her weak. She was unable to move. Her pups were wailing at their loudest after hearing the loud sound of their father. She wanted to go to them, but Seth had her pinned to the ground.
All she could do was plead to him. But her husband did plead, and Seth ignored it. Would her begging work on him? She had to try. "Please Seth, we are friends," said the she-wolf. "You are our Beta. You are supposed to protect us. Please let us go. Please let my kids live, I will run away from here, away from you. No one will know who killed my mate." Tears were falling down her face.
"In order to protect you, I have to protect myself first. I am just looking for my future," gritted Seth.
"Why? Why are you doing this? Why my kids? They are innocent, just born. They did nothing to you or anyone," begged the she-wolf.
"I told you, I am doing this to protect myself, protect my future," shouted Seth, and with one single move, he left four claw marks on her neck. The blood spurted like water from a broken geyser.
It was going in all directions, much of it flew all over Seth soiling him with hot red dripping liquid.
The she-wolf's eyes kept dripping tears as she knew what was coming next. Seth had his fangs out, and he was going close to the new born pups.
All were wailing after hearing the loud pleading of their parents and then the roar of Seth. He was looking for a baby girl and found two. Whom should he select? Who was he really looking for? He had two girl pups before him but didn't know which one he wanted.
He had to find the kid who would impact his future but could not find what he was looking for. He clenched his teeth and started clawing around.
The hot blood and chunks of skin started floating all around him as he kept moving his claws. After he was done, all that remained were six, tiny, mangled bodies.
Covered in blood and flesh, Seth roared loudly. He thought he was going to change his future, but he was wrong. In his rage, he killed a family. He knew he would have to run away.
The moment he stepped out of the house, the other wolves were ready for him. All heard the cries of the she-wolf and her babies. When they saw the bloody state of Seth, they knew he committed the most heinous of crimes, murder.
Being a Beta, it was his duty to keep everyone safe, but he himself committed murder. He was supposed to protect his pack and its members but he himself killed a family. The punishment would be severe.
Many pounced on him to subdue him, but he was reeling with anger and frustration. He wanted a girl child but couldn't get the one he was looking for. When other wolves attacked him, he was ready. He fought and fought but the wolves attacking him were more in numbers. Seth started to lose his stamina and after a huge fight, he was pinned down.
He was dragged before his alpha, Rodion Sablebite of the Everfang Pack. The witnesses told them what they heard and saw. Rodion went to the murder scene and his stomach jumped up to his throat after seeing the horrendous scene.
It was impossible for him to believe that his own Beta could commit such a crime. He was not a sadist, yet he never felt anything while killing the pups. They were just a few hours old. How cruel was Seth? How could anyone do such a thing? Was Seth a psychopath?
Rodion's wife, Luna Consuela Sablebite, tried to talk to him and ask for leniency as Seth was her brother. But so many witnesses of the crime made it difficult to show him mercy. Also, if he had just killed the parents, it would have been a different case, but he slaughtered the pups, a few hour-old pups. He had to be punished.
A council of important wolves from the pack was called. They all heard everything and saw the photographs of the crime scene, it was decided that Seth should receive the most severe of punishments.
"How dare you? You are the beta of the pack, and you killed your own subjects!! You are supposed to protect them not harm them. You soiled the name of a beta. Now how will anyone trust their beta after what you have done? And that too kids. Where did you find the courage to harm them, kill them? You are a monster, a monster!!
"I hereby strip you of all your powers, your title, your properties, your familial relations. You are no longer my Beta or my brother-in-law. It is my alpha order that you are no longer a part of the Everfang Pack. You are now a rouge, to be thrown out of our borders. You must never return back, or you will be put down like a rabid dog," decreed Rodion.
Seth clenched his chest as the breaking of the bond with the pack hurt him. He felt as if someone was crushing his heart with their bare hands.
"No, you cannot do that. You cannot do that. I gave my life to this pack. Whatever I did, I did for our future," snapped Seth clenching his chest.
"You think killing of kids is beneficial for our pack? Are you out of your mind? Guards! Throw him out of our land and make sure he never returns," snapped Rodion.
"You throw me out and I will come back. I will keep coming back till I find the one I am looking for. You will rue this day. You will all rue this day," yelled Seth, while the guards kept dragging him away, away from the council, away from the pack. They dumped him far away from the land of the Everfang pack and watched him crying his eyes out in anger.
Chapter 3: The Murder Continues
"Did you hear about the beta of the Everfang pack? He was the brother of the Luna. I heard he cut the parents into pieces before reaching the kids. I heard he ate the kids, cannibal! He killed a whole village in one night. 100 men could not subdue him. There was not a scratch on him even after fighting with an army," Seth became a legend overnight.
All were talking about his murder, his courage, his audacity, his sadist nature, his psychopath nature. And everyone knew that he was a rogue now and would not be allowed inside the borders. He was exiled and that was the severest punishment a wolf could get, severing ties with his family, and his powers. Even though some were impressed by his terrible deed, they thought it was over. Seth was never coming back.
All slept well in the night after hearing that a murderer had been punished. As he was punished, all were sure he was never coming back. But the Everfang pack was on high alert as they had just thrown Seth out. Border patrol was increased. All the other packs were oblivious to what was coming their way.
This time a she-wolf from the Grimmaw Howlers was about to give birth. The pack doctor was ready in the labour room with the she-wolf. Soon the sweet wailing of pups echoed all through the hospital. She gave birth to quintuplets, three beautiful girls and two boys.
"Congra…" the doctor could not finish his sentence when the halls of the hospital boomed with the cries of death. All started running left and right as they saw a huge brown wolf running through the halls ripping people apart. It was trying to find something and soon the wolf turned to the labour room after hearing the pups.
The door broke into millions of pieces and the brown wolf jumped inside the room that was filled with the doctor and a few nurses. The she-wolf was still lying on the bed trying to catch her breath. One nurse had two of her kids in her hands trying to show her pups to her.
"Who? Who are you? What do you want?" the doctor shouted.
The wolf bared its teeth and growled, "give me the girls."
"What? Oh my god! You are him… you are him," cried the nurse.
Seth transformed back into human form and stood naked before everyone. "No kid is going to change my future. I will kill them all, I will kill them all."
The doctor jumped between the kids and Seth. "You have to go through me," the doctor's claws started appearing. His canine dropped. He was ready to protect his people from a murderer.
"Happily!" smiled Seth and lunged at the doctor. The doctor was no match for a former Beta. Even though he lost his Beta-power, he was still a warrior. Within seconds, the doctor dropped to the floor with his hands over his neck as Seth had ripped his neck apart. The nurse screamed for her life and clenched the kids even tighter to her breasts.
"Please! Please, not my kids! Not my kids, please let them go. Kill me, kill me, not my kids," the she-wolf kept pleading, but Seth never listened to her. The nurse dropped to the floor with the kids by her side. The remaining three kids were wailing in the crib.
"Shut up!" shouted Seth and took a good look at the kids. He didn't find the one he was looking for. With one swipe of his hand, the three kids stopped crying, but their mother kept wailing and wailing. She was tired after childbirth, but suddenly she had the energy to fight Seth.
She jumped from the bed and leapt at him. She kept clawing at his back, ripping his skin off. Seth fell over the instrument tray and every instrument fell to the ground with a loud cling-clang. He grabbed the empty tray and swung hard in the she-wolf's direction, sharply slapping her with the tray.
She fell to the ground. Before she could get back up, Seth was on her pinning her to the ground. "I am helping everyone. Why won't you guys understand? I am helping you. I am getting rid of every problem everyone is going to face. No kids, no change in the future. I will live, I will forever, no darkness. The Moon Goddess will shine on me. She will bless me, you will see," said Seth, and he inserted his canine in her neck and ripped the skin off.
The labour room was soiled with blood. All the walls, all over the floor, all one could see was blood. Seth howled loudly in frustration as, even after killing two families, he could not find the one he was looking for.
He transformed back into his wolf form and ran away from the hospital. The news of another murder spread like wildfire. No one knew why he was targeting she-wolves who had just given birth. What was his purpose? Why the kids? Why the newborns? And why kill? If he wanted the kids, he could have abducted them, and taken them away with him. But he was not letting anyone live.
Now two packs were on high alert. The pregnant ladies started fearing an attack. Every pack increased security around the pregnant ladies.
But then a she-wolf from the Frostcrest Nightwalkers gave birth to sextuplets and all were sons. Everyone was ready for the attack. The hospital was surrounded by warriors protecting the mother and the kids. The border patrol was increased. The doctor soon announced that the mother has given birth to six sons.
Everyone waited and waited but Seth never came. All thought that he might have been spooked by the security around the hospital. Little did they know that Seth was on the roof of the hospital waiting for the she-wolf to give birth and when he heard that the kids were all boys, he retreated back. He didn't attack as he was searching for a girl pup. The one going to affect his future was a girl pup and he was determined to find her no matter what. He was going to kill the one who was going to bring darkness into his life.
