East border
“Alpha Peter, Vampires and hunters keep killing wolves. Alas, if it’s continued, we need to inform all the packs from west, north, and south about this issue.” One of the betas said while bowing his head.
“We still can’t report this issue to other packs not unless we gathered more evidence, we can’t point our fingers at vampires or hunters easily. Continue guarding the surrounding of East border and don’t let the Elders and cubs cross the range of protection.” The man who has the blue as clear sky said. It’s Peter, the Alpha who leads Rollin's pack from the eastern border.
“I understand, Alpha Peter. But the news… We can’t stop it from spreading to everyone.” Again, the beta on the side was reported.
“Some news will not be under control by our hands, but don’t let our people start a mess without proper investigation. If you need to restrict them to cross the border, do it.” He simply said.
Peter massaged his temple, he can’t believe the sudden death of wolves between the East and West border. Things become chaotic and uncontrol these past few months and he can’t understand what is happening.
“Thank you for your time, Alpha Peter. We will do everything you say and report you immediately once we gather strong evidence or something happened again.” They bid goodbye to him and one by one, they left him.
Only that time he spoke, “you guys, better stop hiding.” Whispered but there is a command in every world.
No words, they attack him. He versus them, they plan to kill him on the spot.
He quickly avoided the karambit in the hand of the man who attacked him, Fortunately, he’s quicker than him. If only he’s late for a second, his neck is now wide open in front of them.
But as the many say; even how strong the person is; many are greater than one. Peter keeps avoiding every attack from them but he can feel exhausting in his body, he knows that it keeps continuing to entertain all the men in front of him now; they can kill him later.
"Ha, is this the person what they call Ruthless and Dominant Alpha? he can't even able to fight us. Look at him now, keeps avoiding our attacks.” One of them said arrogantly.
Peter wanted to laugh at what he heard, he didn't fight? If only they hadn't been deceitful, he would have killed them earlier. That’s what Peter was thinking at those times, the ambush on him proves that they are cowards.
He quickly stood up and twisted the neck of the arrogant man, at the same time the other men backed away when the body of their lifeless companion fell.
"ha! why are you all backing away? are you afraid to imitate your worthless friend? that's right! be afraid of me!" Peter said arrogantly as he laughed, he laughed at them as if insulted. This is what Peter wanted most of all, to play with the brains of the people around him and make them obey based on what he wanted to happen.
For Peter, it's easy to manipulate people's brains, so whenever he has an opponent, he targets the brain. That way the opponent doesn't know that they are still following Peter's wishes.
Peter could see the anger in the eyes of the men who attacked him like that, instead of being scared he felt even happier and excited because of what he saw.
Anger, that's what he wants to use to subdue his opponents because whenever a person is angry, he can easily be subdued. There is no difference between sad people. The higher the anger and sadness that a person feels, the easier it is to make them manipulate.
Peter wants to make them angry and lose the fear of attacking him, that way he can kill them one by one without him moving much. And just as expected, they immediately rushed at him without thinking.
Peter immediately grabbed a man by the neck and did not let go until the man was out of breath. The other was planning to stab him with the karambit he was carrying, fortunately, Peter quickly avoided it again and snatched it. Without blinking Peter stabbed the knife into the man's chest, causing the man to lose his life immediately.
He killed them one by one without difficulty, but not long after that Peter felt the severity of the wounds he had sustained, and he slowly lost his consciousness. Only then does he see his subordinates approach him worriedly, he can’t hear them; he just closed his eyes and let the darkness pull him.
Only the full-blood moon knows what happened that night.

When Peter woke up in the morning, the was lying on a hard bed and his wounds had been cleaned. Slowly he stood up, he saw that his clothes were new. From his seat and all around the house he could smell the ornamental medicine.
“Alpha,” a man called him with a gentle tone, it’s Won, Peter's loyal right in command. “Don't force your body to move right now, we are here on the west border to treat the wounds you sustained last night.”
“West border? Why do we have to go here and treat my wounds, there are only a few and not that bad.” Alpha Peter asked confused, East border has its clinic.
“The poison in their weapon can only be found in the west, if the poison came from here, the medicine is probably here and we are right. If we hadn't brought you here right away, you might be dead by now and those who want to take your position would be very happy.” Won explained.
"But I feel fine now, is there still a reason for us to stay here long? We only need medicine, if you buy it, we will go back to the East now!" Peter resolutely commands the front, he worries for his pack. He still doesn't know who or what is at the root of what is happening and but he knows certainty that there is another wolf that will be killed next, even not from the East or there is a chance from other packs.
"If that's what you want, I'll get our ride back to the North border right away." Won replied and was about to leave in front of Peter but was immediately stopped when Peter suddenly spoke.
“The men last night, who are they and where did they come from?” Peter could not hide from his eyes the annoyance and anger he felt at the men who rushed and ambushed him that night, he has no intention of letting them explain and listen, he will just make sure that the wounds they will receive on their bodies are more severe.
“Just regular hunters, Alpha Peter.” Won's answer was hesitant, even though he couldn't believe that they were just ordinary hunters.
Peter was silent for a moment because of what he heard, he did not expect the answer of the man in front of him, but immediately there was a strange smile on his lips. "Seriously, our opponents are now getting smarter and clever."
Won nodded his head as he agreed with what the Alpha said, “You are right, Alpha, we double-check their backgrounds but nothing changes; they are normal hunters.”
"Alas, get our car ready back to the North and I want to see their faces again." Peter coldly said and removed the needle in his arm. He stood up straight as if he didn't feel any pain in the bandages on his body, he looked at his whole self in the large mirror on the side of the room.
He carefully put on the shirt, “f*ck those sh*t, once we meet again; I will make them see the ruthless Alpha they looking for.” He whispers as his eyes become darker blue.
Won knocked on the door three times and open it, “Alpha Peter, the car is ready.” He smiled.
But besides that, gentle smile, the darkness is hiding very well…
Peter walked outside the room, he can feel the excitement of his hand to rip them one by one without mercy.
“f**k, woman! Can’t you see me?” Peter hears Won shout, he can’t see the person’s face and he has no intention of wasting time seeing who ruined Won's day.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bump on you.” Peter heard the person say to Won but he continued to walk outside, for him it didn't matter if he saw its face or not because they would never meet it again. “Won, don’t waste our time. Let’s go.” He called him without looking.
“Lucky you, we have an important thing to do.” Won again said to the person who bumped him and walk toward the direction where Peter is.
When the two men completely disappeared, Lily just breathed a sigh of relief. The wounds he had inflicted were still not healed, but nothing would hurt more than the wound her heart now has. She doesn't know if her boyfriend is alive or dead, if the vampires are still torturing him or if someone else got her boyfriend and saved him.
It would have been better and she would have preferred if someone else had gotten her boyfriend if it had been rescued, but while there was still no proper proof that it was alive or dead her mind could not be at peace.
And the only way for her to find the evidence was whether Henry was alive or dead, she knew it was dangerous but she would return to the forest again for the peace of her mind and heart.
