Chapter 4:Egos
1061 Words
Erick's POV:
I sat as the wolves rambled on about their dumb skills until I finally had enough.
"So wolves are born human and don't shift until puberty, correct me if I'm not," I asked.
"Yes basically"Yola, I think was her name replied.
"Well, Lycans are born with the ability to shift from the day they're born so we are either born in our Lycan form or shift as soon as we're out"The wolves finally perked up a bit after the long boring speech.
So I continued.
"Wolves walk on all four while Lycans can do both, WE can shift on will like werewolves but we're a little more skilled and shift a single body part for example my hand " I shifted my hand into its true form "or my teeth"I got my fangs out.
The wolves seemed a little shocked.
'the most we can do is bring our fangs and claws out and a little body hair"A little wolf said and he looked in awe at my hand.
"Do you breathe fire as they say?" Someone asked from the audience.
"Our nickname is Hounds of Helios but we don't quite breathe fire, our body just produces a black smoke that helps in camouflage and it sometimes burns things around only Royal Lycans such as myself can produce fire from this defence mechanism" I chuckled and explained.
"Could you tell s more about the necklaces each of you has?" Yola asked from beside.
"This is an idea I came up with a few years ago. they're called cauldron stones, It's made from a special rock from the gallows but the base of the mountain from where we're from is filled with, The gallows look small but it's a really large landmass the stones just make it physically appear smaller, It's like a compressor. So I thought to use the stone a suitcase of some sort and with some alteration, it automatically senses that we're naked and what weapons we need so it dresses us and keeps our inventory"
"Is there a set limit of stuff you can keep in there?"
"Well, so far I've stored five years worth of weapons in mine so not sure if it has a limit but you guys can test it out since my brother ordered me to bring some as gifts and Jasmine will help in explaining how they're used" Jasmine raised her hand so they knew who she was.
"So Do Lycans have any weaknesses like werewolves?"I looked to see a teen who looks around 19 who asked the question, He had muscular and seemed quiet but too confident for his good.
"Well, since seventy per cent of our composition isn't quite physical, it's a hard thing to do......... but wounds with silver take quite a few more seconds to heal but it does leave a mark, so the only other option is to rip our spines out but then again you'll be burned to a crisp before you got a chance so that would leave you with the option of getting my blood or my brothers melting silver into and making a blade out of it and taking our head but since Lycans are faster then that would be quite the task but why do you ask?"
"Just asking for when I get the opportunity to kill you lot"
"Jace, calm down " Yola warned him.
"Oh really now?" I asked and he glared at me.
"Why wait ?" I was almost over there ready to grab him by the neck but Jasmine intercepted.
I could tell I wasn't the only one that wanted the insect squirming beneath my feet by the menacing dark cloud rising and the increase in temperature.
"I want him dead as much as all you do but we promised Jamie we wouldn't kill them"Jasmine urged.
"We're not gonna kill them just that one" My eyes began to glow as I stepped forward and Jas tried to stop me but her effort was futile as I easily pushed her back with each step. I was almost there when a growl resonated through the air and I stopped.
We all turned our attention to see Jamie standing there and the little hotshot before looked like he was bout to wet his pants from how menacing he looked. Jamie looked like she crawled out of the deepest depths of hell in her Lycan form. Her body was engulfed in flames and ash to the point you couldn't make out her figure and she just looked like a being and black smoke.
"Pretty sure I didn't stutter when giving orders" She stated and everyone bowed their heads except for me though I was extremely intimidated by her.
"Heys- bro"
"Erick, you just like getting into trouble don't you" She shifted and stood in front of me, she was way shorter but boy was she scary.
"In my defence, I didn't start it, it was the little brat"
"I don't care who did, I gave an order, I expected it from you but not for them to follow"She looked at the other Lycans who had a guilty look in their eyes.
"So we should just sit and take the disrespect"
"For the s**t, he pulled this we're getting now is considered kindness"
I held my head down as I got her point.
"Sorry for the trouble we caused," she apologized to the piece of s**t but he was still too scared to reply.
Peyton's POV:
The scent I smelled from Erick this morning was stronger than ever and I bolted from the border of the east side of the pack and followed the scent. My lungs were burning but I pushed my legs to go faster as I ran as fast as I could. I got to the pack training grounds where they were holding the seminar and saw a male scolding the Lycans, the power and authority he radiated was astonishing our eyes looked and all that ran through my mind was.
my mate's a dude.
But I'm not into dudes.
My brain was just blank as I stared at him, he was extremely beautiful but the thought of me being a bottom overpowered what I had planned to do when I finally met my mate and so I did what anyone would do in this situation ran to my mom.
