Curse of The Crescent Moon

Curse Cure and Conspiracy

Blaine was kissing her neck repeatedly while he was hugging her from the back. It was dawn, and the pack was preparing to leave early. Another day to flee.

Andrea faced Blaine. She smiled wide at him and placed her arms on his neck. Blaine moved closer to her face, and she meet his lips that has been waiting for hers. Her hands clutched on his hair, as emotions began to erupt intensely. She clung to him like he was the only thing solid in an unsteady world. Blaine at first kissed her sweetly and then quickly increased in passion. Her trembling lips were being parted by his relentless mouth, which sent wild sensations down her nerves and caused her to experience feelings she had no idea she could be a woman like this, soft and obedient to a man who she bet is stronger than her, to placed her in captivity such as this. She felt her knees weaken. Little by little, she's losing strength, as she finds herself captive by his charm. Blaine gently lifted her and let her sit on that elevated tree stump, the passionate moment on that grassy field must have grown more intense if not for the banging sound that interrupted them.

" What's that?" Blaine whispered. He's surprised.

" An intruder!" Andrea quickly replied.

And they parted.

They both fix themselves and grab their weapons, while Blaine runs to warn their other pack members.

" How are you ancient fangs!"

The werewolf in the mask sounds confident perhaps because they were in greater number than them.

The greeting doesn't sound friendly but threatening. Andrea tried to figure out the faces of their intruders as they were all in masks, exposing only their eyes. Yet, she's sure that they were those other packs sent out to hunt them down. Andrea's eyes glistened. She let out a growl. A signal that she was ready to kill.

The group of werewolves was slowly heading toward her.

She knows that others of the intruders had headed in other directions, searching the entire area to s*******r her pack. Minutes later she heard gruntlings nearby. Her pack was wrestling with enemies and she knows they were losing. Yet, she could just close her eyes and endure as she also is facing a battle of her own.

Andrea stepped back as their predator continued to move forward.

She raised her claws, and ready her fangs.

The werewolf in masked chuckled.

" Your fangs ain't gonna redeem you now b***h!" he taunted.

Andrea snarled baring off her fangs in response.

" Tsk..tsk.." the masked wolf pisses her even more.

" Those fangs that had once made you a hero, are now a reason for your downfall," he mocked at Andrea.

But his words aren't affecting her. Andrea just raised her eyebrows and flashed a smirk.

Then the next moment she dived into the danger. Andrea noticed another masked figure in the corner while she was wrestling with the masked wolf. The figure was watching them calmly as if she was not to be taken seriously. The combat went for minutes. None of them would want to get defeated. The masked wolf must admit that Andrea wasn't like any other werewolves. She's strong. She can't just be easily overcome. And he needs to be careful about not getting bitten, or else he'll be vanished dead into ashes in seconds. He knows that this she-wolf seems not to have any weakness, except for one. And that's what he's gonna use to distract her.

The masked wolf signaled a look at the other figure in disguise, the one who was watching the combat on the side. The mysterious figure understands. He began to move. Using his powers, he went to search for Blaine, and later in a minute, just when Andrea was winning her duel with the masked werewolf, there she saw Blaine being dragged bleeding on the ground.

" Blaine!" she shouted.

And the masked werewolf took advantage of her distraction.

Andrea was about to run towards Blaine, but he blocked her way and grabbed her, and pinned her to the ground. Andrea struggles. She cringed in pain. She felt a pointed object strike her back. She cried as she pulled it out of her flesh, but she hasn't even gotten up yet when the masked werewolf snatched her hands and twist them to her back. Then he clutched at her face like he was gonna pull her teeth out.

" Give up now...Alpha," the masked wolf grumbled.

Andrea saw his eyes glaring both with excitement and fury. Then the masked wolf reached something out from his pocket. It was a syringe. And he struck Andrea's neck with it.

" Drei!!!"

Andrea heard Blaine's scream. That's the only voice that's holding her from losing consciousness. She's badly wounded. She's losing stamina.

" What...have you...injected?" Andrea murmured asking her masked captor. But what she got was just a cruel silent response.

" Blaine..." she uttered a faint whisper.

She likes to give in to this force that was taking her strength away but then, her eyes widened when she saw that the other wolf was about to strike Blaine. Andrea was sure he was the other wolf in a mask who was watching on the side. He raised his claws, and she knows that when those sharp claws hit Blaine's flesh he was surely gonna torn into pieces. So, Andrea drew out all the remaining strength in her, and howled in her fiercest, as she shifted into her fully wolf form. And quickly jumped unto where Blaine is, shielding him from the blow that was supposed to be for him.

"Urrghh!"

Andrea tasted the warm blood coming out of her mouth as she falls weak to the ground. She noticed the wound on her chest. She felt the pain getting intense until she slowly gets suffocated.

Blaine's eyes widened in shock.

It's like the moment froze. It's like everything stops so they could both savor the taste of this tragedy.

" No! Drei!"

Blaine began to sob.

" Get her fangs! We need it!"

Andrea heard the other wolf instruct.

That voice...where did I hear that voice?

And his scent...he smells fu*** like a damp dog.

Andrea thinks as she looked at one of the attackers trying to identify the faces behind the mask.

" Drei! Hold on..okay...we're gonna get out of here" Blaine was tapping her face.

Andrea shook her head. She knows it's now a dead end for them.

" No...no noo..."

Blaine was now in a state of panic.

" You made a promise...you won't die!" he muttered sobbing.

" B...Blaine.."

Andrea's voice was fainting. She reached out to his face, and force a smile.

" I will...beg...to the gods...to bring my way back to...you," she said.

Then she gives up her last breath.

And from then on, the alpha she-wolf born with ancient fangs of a dire wolf was never heard again.

They got what they wanted. The death of Andrea Catalda and her pack had brought peace to the entire werewolves specie. That's all they want - assurance that their race is going to continue. The Hungry Fangs' death made them feel safe. That's all that all the packs want. They want to feel safe. They want continuity. With Andrea's death, the world of the werewolves changed. It was like the entire werewolves specie had gained a new world, with a new system and order. And along with that change, some wolves have risen to power too. Now, in the present, the Hungry Fangs pack was all just a memory. The world of the werewolves is now being run by the Growlers and its allies.

Seven years later, Magnus, the gamma shaman wolf also got what he dreamed of - a medical conglomerate. Magnum took a deep breath like he was gladly savoring the air on his rooftop.

It feels like yesterday I was starving in the woods, but now I'm enjoying the luxury in the city...7 years...I've waited for this for 7 years... Magnus thought to himself.

" Enjoying the view?"

Salvatore's voice interrupted Magnus' contemplation.

" Oh!" Magnum raised his fists for a bump.

" I was just thinking how our specie survived that horrible catastrophe," said Magnus.

Salvatore cackled as if Magnus had said something ridiculous.

" Cmon! Cut off the drama! I still have the mask we wear that night," Salvatore said then, with a serious tone.

"Oh...those...?"

"poor Andrea... her loud cries and devastated face were still vivid to me."

Salvatore cracks a sarcastic laugh.

" Imagine if she's alive now, then she'll be more devastated seeing the love of her life... working with those who killed her pack," he muttered.
