Chaos Rising

Chapter Two

.

Aztec was battered after setting the fire on his Alpha’s family. It was never his intention. He only wanted to protect his secret from being exposed. The secret being that werewolves are banned from marrying humans. Ragner found out his secret and protected it for a very long time until he had to use it as a blackmail for him (Aztec) to do his bidding which was to exterminate the Alpha’s family. Aztec sat thinking as he looked at his wife Helena and his kids- Leo and Lisa who sat down eating. He sat down thinking about what his kids would think of him if they were to find out that their father killed the Alpha and his family. His wife already knew about it and together they decided to keep it a secret. But for how long would they keep this secret?

He pondered. Aztec hut was far away from the rest of the parks’ as he had made it to keep his secret of him marrying a human hidden lest he be punished to death by the Ruling council. While the family was eating, a group of werewolves led by Ragner encamped their abode calling Aztec two step outside. Hearing this Helena went with Aztec shutting the door on their kids preventing them from coming outside. Leo ran to the window followed by his sister Lisa as they both peeped out the window. Looking outside the window they saw Ragner and heard him say he would not his secret be exposed so he has to kill Aztec and his wife but he would spare their children.

They saw how valiantly their Parents fought although their Mother being the weakest of them because she was human. Her parents fought on and on but were later held and beaten by the werewolves who had come with Ragner. Then Ragner himself killed both of them. After killing them he entered the hut to find the children who had escaped. Ragner had promised their parents that he wouldn’t harm their kids, but now seeing that the children had taken to their heels, he was sure his secret has been revealed and as such could not let the children leave. He just could not. So he ordered a hunt. Griffin, Seiko and the others were ordered to capture and bring them alive.

Old Adolph decided to go on hunting after being in the woods for quite a time. “Surely I have to eat to keep the human race alive” was his popular saying to motivate himself to go on a hunt. He entered deep in the woods when he saw two young wolves-Lisa and Leo headed towards him not attacking but looked like they were running away from something or someone. He was happy that in just minutes searching for food he already got wolves only for him to look and these wolves changed their shape from a wolf into a human- two little kids. He has heard of the Werewolves myth but this was too good to be true. He stood stunned and looked at the two kids as they in turn stared at him. He definitely cannot kill them; they are just kids. They in turn whispered to each other- “we cannot attack him, we are just fourteen. Let us ask him for help. “Please we need your help, our parents were killed today and those that killed them are after us”, Leo called out. “Help us Please '', Lisa added. Looking at them Adolph still misunderstood them not knowing what to do until he was attacked by a very mature wolf; one of Ragner’s deadliest servants Seiko who he was able to shoot with his rifle after Leo and Lisa in their wolf form were able to disturb him, Seiko. After the incident, Adolph took the kids and ran away just before Griffin and the other werewolves were able to arrive at the scene who went to give the feedback to their master.

Meanwhile at the pack, the tale of Astoria being the Alpha stunned people. Some were delighted that the crown remained on a Gregor’s descendant, and some were angered at being ruled by a little girl. This allowed the Ragner loyalists to increase as some preferred Ragner ruling than an “Amateur” as they referred to Astoria. The Pack was dividing and Ragner’s camp was increasing. In order for it not be discovered that he killed Astoria’s family, he had to tell his supporters to pretend as he in turn wanted to lest he be caught and his chances of being the Alpha is blown. Winning Astoria’s trust in the process. He further opted to help train her to unlock her werewolf abilities. He did all this to look for a way to kill her without it being traced to him. But all efforts turned out to be fruitless. He had no choice but had to wait till she turned eighteen or maybe till a good opportunity comes in handy.

Days have passed since Adolph met his soon-to-be-discovered Nephew and niece. When he met them that day and took them home, they explained their story and he took them in not wanting to let kids stay all on their own in the woods. Until today he never wanted to have anything to do with kids but here he was with two kids all by himself.” Two mysterious werewolf kids``. He thought as he laughed within him until he was stopped by a sound by Lisa who got bruised in her arm. “Be careful! There are a lot of harmful objects; I am not used to having any one around”, he said. “Over here let me help you with the bruise” he said further. When she got to him, he raised her dress to help her with the injury only to find a birthmark on her arm. Being surprised he called Leo and checked his arm also. He saw the birth mark on his arm. He being stunned enquired the names of their parents and after they told him he disclosed to them that Helena was his sister who he has been searching for ever since she got lost in the woods. He showed them the same birthmark on his arm. This was an epic reunion for Helena and her brother only that it was not her but her kids that united with her brother.
