THE TALE OF A LONE WOLF

There was an eerie silence in the atmosphere around their territory. The trackers were still in their duties and the other wolves of the pack was preparing themselves for the worst. Everyone was busy with their responsibilities and were arming their weapons for the war. The beta Johnson hurriedly walked up to the alpha who was in his room's balcony, observing the preparations of the pack. “they might be crossing the territory any moment now alpha, the trackers informed us now” he told the alpha in a quivering voice. The alpha turned around to him. He was Thyrsus, the alpha of the nightshade pack. Known to be the leader of the most rogue pack, he was terrifyingly skilled in his play with weapons and for his ferocious wolf form. He had only one dream. To be the alpha of the alphas and rule over the entire lycan world. This was his obsession. For that he had tamed his pack to be the most ruthless and cold-hearted ones that had no fear in ending the obstacles that were in the path in which their alpha walked on. “let them come. I had been waiting for this moment since all these time” he was filled with his arrogance and over confidence. “will we...be able to stand by their large army alpha?” beta Johnson trembled with the thought of dealing with the army of the 3 most legendary packs of the lycan world. “how dare a wolf of the most feared pack be so dreadful” Thyrsus grabbed Johnson by his collar and fumed with rage seeing his pack member being unsure of their victory. “we are going to deal with not one but three packs together and they are not like the ones whom we had dealt with till now. do you believe that our pack is that strong to face them?” Johnson had no other option than to try to bring Thyrsus back to his senses sensing their defeat. “get out from my sight you worthless creature. This war will be ours to claim and from tomorrow onwards I will the alpha of the alphas” the alpha admonished his beta and proclaimed to his pack and the preparations for the war was done. Suddenly the pack got to sense the vigorous movements of wolfs near them and then their trackers came in a very poor condition. “alpha, they have crossed the border of our territory. We tried our best but they are too many in number and we couldn’t do anything” one of the trackers tried to make his stand but their alpha was too high with his obsession that he couldn’t bare weak amongst his pack. “how shamelessly you can say such lame excuses. they may be large in number but we are no less in power. Today we will prove the lycan world that we are no lesser than them” the alpha motivated his pack and they hoorayed for their alpha. “alpha, we also have to inform you that your daughter Maeve has also crossed the border” the tracker informed Thyrsus and it lit us his face. “let my princess come. It's been years I have seen her. Now that she had completed her training I will give her our victory as her welcome gift. She will be proud to be my daughter” Thyrsus was so full of himself thinking about his daughter and they came to hear the sound of the approaching army. “they are here” the omega who was guarding the gate that led to their residency signed to his alpha and the pack took its position for the war. after a long wait there arrived the army of 3 dominant packs of the lycan world lead by its alpha of the alphas. “let them in” Thyrsus told the omega and opened up the gates. In the dark moon lit night, entered a golden eyed wolf in its majestic form followed by others of his pack. 3 of them stepped forward in a row. Proudly stood in front of the nightshade pack the alpha of the alphas, Lionel king of the grey flame pack and besides him, Justin miles, alpha of the red mile pack and Ulric Hyman of neon bay pack. Behind them stood an army of well-trained warrior wolfs ready to give their life for the restoration of the peace that had been long lost since nightshade pack had went rogue. “finally, we meet Thyrsus” Lionel broke the silence and the nightshade pack armed themselves being ready to attack any moment. “what's the news from the lycan board Lionel? To kill me and put an end to my reign?” Thyrsus from the balcony greeted him mockingly. “that was a long-issued notice Thyrsus, still I gave you a chance to change you desires which you didn’t care to. Now that you know we are ordered to wipe out your entire pack from the list of lycan packs in the world” Lionel savagely answered Thyrsus which fired up his rage and he smirked announcing the war to begin. Soon the atmosphere filled with the eerie silence was turned into echoes of screams and howls of the wolf war. The nightshade pack started the attack on the army of wolfs and the warriors began to show their skillful combat putting to ground most of the rogue wolves. Thyrsus stood watching the war from his balcony and Lionel engaged himself in the war protecting his fellow wolfs. It didn’t take much time for Lionel and his fellow packs to take dominance over the nightshade pack and the fear of the rogue pack started grilling up, making Thyrsus contempt his own pack for their defeat from other packs. he couldn’t stand seeing his rogue pack fall so quickly without even causing enough damage to the other packs. His mind got controlled by his evilness and he ordered the left-over omegas in his pack to use the attack of wolf banes. Ulric came to sense the danger of wolf banes and he alerted others about the same but their anticipation went wrong when they were attacked from all the directions. Many of the betas and omegas in their packs came forward and took the hits of wolf banes trying to protect their leaders and some of them even ended up losing their lives. The war ground steeped into another pace with the use of wolf banes and this deadly move by Thyrsus made Lionel go after him. Lionel jumped on top of Thyrsus’s car parked there and then took a leap that helped him reach the balcony. Lionel didn’t waste a second of time and showed Thyrsus his vicious teeth. Seeing Lionel’s majestic wolf form and his strength, Thyrsus grew ferocious and transformed into his pure black wolf form. They both were ready to end the battle while the powerful lycans of the pack under guidance of the other alphas again rose to dominate over the nightshade pack. “it's time to put an end to your reign Thyrsus” Lionel and Thyrsus telepathically exchanged their words to each other as all wolves could communicate with each other through telepathy. “then so be it” Thyrsus raged his attack on Lionel and Lionel made a quick defense by a jumping aside and he ambushed Thyrsus by jumping on top of him and smashing him on the ground. Thyrsus fell with a bang and Lionel moved to his next attack by trying to bite out his flesh. But Thyrsus turned faster and threw Lionel away from him. Lionel crash landed and got back on his legs. He growled in fume and attacked furiously on Thyrsus and his quick attack made Thyrsus badly injured. Seeing their alpha badly injured made the nightshade pack lose its confidence and their attacking level declined to a great level. Thyrsus witnessed the downfall of his pack and contempt himself for being the alpha of such a pathetically weak pack. “looks like you have raised pigs instead of wolfs Thyrsus” Lionel mocked Thyrsus’s pack about which he was too disdainful about. The mock was unbearable for Thyrsus as it had hit his ego. He lost his self-control and began ferociously attacking Lionel who kept of defending himself and kept on observing his moves an at the point where Thyrsus lost his cover, Lionel took control of the situation and jumped upon Thyrsus again bashing him on ground and this time he thrust his mighty teeth into his flesh and bit apart a large chunk of flesh from his neck. Thyrsus howled in pain and Lionel stepped down him with his mouth covered with his blood. He took a moment and the majestic wolf turned into a half-naked man in his late 40s. He was the well-shaped and fully trained alpha of the alphas and he had finally led his pack to their victory and fulfilled the order of the lycan board. He went closer to the wolf lying half dead in front of him and kneeled down to its ears. “I had told you to surrender long before. But you were too over powered by your dark desires. Now rest in peace and at least try to live your afterlife with pureness” Lionel whispered into Thyrsus’s ears and he walked down the house in his human form. As soon as he came outside, the nightshade pack saw him covered in blood and understood that their alpha had met his end. The pack fell and the warrior wolves ended each and every one of them with ease. The war had ended and they had claimed their victory. “carry over the bodies of our pack. We shall give them a peaceful funeral for their bravery” the alpha ordered his fellows and they turned their way back to their territory. The nightshade territory was no more than a dead land with all its lycans wiped out. The air that blew in the area was filled with the aroma of bloody of the dead wolves. A girl walked through the forest with great thrill and hopes of meeting her father. As soon as she reached the gates, she mind was numb seeing the bodies of wolves of her pack lying dead in front of her. The whole place was covered with blood that proved it was the result of the war that had broken out. She began walking forward and with each step she took, her body shivered with terror that was caused by seeing her whole pack dead. Amongst the bodies of wolf her eyes like that of an eagle’s sight searched for her dad. She gravely wished not to see her father among those bodies. Suddenly she heard a very weak growl of a wolf and her heart had no doubt that it was her fathers. She turned towards the direction from which the sound came and rushed upstairs to the balcony which was her father’s favorite spot. On her way she saw drops of blood scattered on the floor and stairs and her heart beat like hell fearing the worst sight. On making it to the balcony her heart skipped a beat. There she saw a black wolf covered in a pool of blood and its state showed that it could die any moment. “fatherrrrr” she screamed running to the wolf and took the body in her lap and cried profoundly. “youuu cammee myy child” the wolf was too weak to change into its human form and telepathically communicated with his daughter Maeve. “fatherrr how did this happen? How did our reign fall?” Maeve was completely dishearten to accept the fact of their defeat and her father’s state. “our pack was not so strong as we believed it to be child. I couldn’t be the strongest father you always dreamed to have” a tear rolled down the eyes of the wolf and the daughter screamed with terror hugging her father tightly. “no father. You was, were and will always be the strongest one and now I will be the one who will fulfil you wish. The day will surely arrive when the 3 packs will fall and I will rule over them to make them suffer for their huge sin” Maeve took an oath in front of her father and again hugged him as tight as she could. “one day daughter....” the wolf took its last breath and died in its daughter arms. Maeve was alone in the whole territory and witnessing her father die, she let out the loudest scream she could and cried out all her pain till her mind was filled with the revenge of her pack. A heavy rain came and Maeve dragged her father's body to the forest and dug up a grave for him. She buried him. Her eyes had completely turned red with her rage and she was filled with one and only mission, revenge for her pack and that was the beginning of a huge enigmatic vengeance tale......
