Chapter 27

-Don't move until I've attacked them – I heard Aldahir say

-Okay – I said as quietly as possible

I heard Aldahir's bones breaking and moving around, meaning he was transforming into a wolf and I had to contain my excitement and happiness over him when I realized he did not scream or whimper in pain at all, he had finally fully accepted himself as a werewolf. Aldahir howled catching the attention of the hunters and since they were distracted looking around for that wolf I moved around a little and started breathing deeper, getting ready to attack.

A white and gray wolf showed out of nowhere and jumped at the hunter with dark skin, immediately I stood up and transform into a wolf as quiet as possible to avoid being noticed by the hunters and I jumped at the woman who was about to throw her knife at Aldahir, she screamed, more out of fear than pain and tried to stab me with the knife, I growled at her and bit her hand forcing her to let go of the knife, she dropped it and tried to get away from me.

-She's alive! – She yelled out calling to the hunter with olive skin who was loading a gun

Aldahir and I looked at each other and I reacted first jumping at him and biting his arm until he let go of the gun, I grabbed the gun with my teeth an tossed it away, the hunter with olive skin started to back away trying to avoid being further attacked by my while holding onto his bleeding arm, I growled at him while walking closer to him and suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my back leg, I turned around annoyed and saw the woman had just thrown her knife at me, again, that irritated me and I wanted to bite her, but
before I could Aldahir jumped at her.

I allowed him to attack her, thinking he would just bite her, but he started to jump on her repeatedly making her head hit the floor over and over again and he started to scratch her and bit her, with the clear intention of killing her. I reacted before I could even stop to think and I jumped at Aldahir, separating him from the woman, we rolled around for a few seconds and when I got up on my paws I growled at him, I bit his head as a warning sing and ran back to the hunter with dark skin, who had gotten up and was about to scape, I jumped at him making him fall backwards and bit him on the shoulder.

He screamed out in pain and I back away from in turning to the hunter with olive skin, he seemed to understand what I wanted to do because he rushed to the knife of the woman and grabbed it putting it against his throat.

-You don't have to kill yourself – I said to him after transforming back into a human

-Am I supposed to let him kill me then? – He asked pointing at Aldahir, who was still a wolf

-No, he won't kill you – I said walking slowly towards him trying to take the knife away

-He's going to bite me then, turn me into one of you?

-I think is better than being dead

-I'll rather be dead than being a beast like you – said the hunter

Immediately after he stabbed himself in the throat and fell to the ground, where we watched him bled out to dead. I went over to the woman, after putting on what was left of my blouse and crouched next to her analyzing whether or not she would survive, Aldahir had gotten her pretty bad and she was bleeding a lot but when I tried to put pressure on one of the biggest wounds she had she pushed me away angrily.

-Just let me die you idiot wolf – she said laughing

I reminded myself of everything she had done to me and thought of all the things she could possibly do it were to survive, so I backed away from her deciding to just let her die exactly as she wished.

-Hello Aldahir Corey – she said laughing while looking at him

I felt my stomach drop realizing they knew who he was and whatever desire I had to keep them alive evaporated, but before I could act on it and kill her myself I remembered all the information Aldahir seemed to know about the group of hunter who knew about werewolves, I remembered how uneasy he seemed when he was talking about it, how worried he got over it and I realized the inly way for the woman to know his name was Aldahir Corey was if she had known him before, because if she had jus met him she would have called him Aldahir Wittner.

I stayed there, frozen in my place, unsure how to react until Aldahir showed up next to me with her knife in his hand and tried to kill her, but I stopped him because everything was a little too confusing and I needed answers.

-Why does she know you? – I asked him confused after taking the knife from him

-Are you really thinking about that right now? – He asked angrily trying to get the knife back – just kill her and let's get out of here before the police come

-The police? – I asked even more confused

-They know you're missing, they saw what happened at the apartment

-She doesn't know, does she? – Asked the other hunter interrupting my thoughts

I tried to keep my thoughts collected but I couldn't help jump to the worst possible scenario.

-What don't I know? – I asked to no one in particular

-Aldahir Corey – said the woman laughing

And I had to stop Aldahir from jumping at her and killing her, again. By that point his reactions and his attitude were confusing me and concerning me, so I prepared for the worst.

-He was the best hunter of our little wolf hunt group before he disappeared, the weekend we last heard from him he was spending some bonding and hunting time with his parents before coming with us in a hunting trip – explained the woman with satisfaction in her face

I couldn't stop Aldahir from killing her that third time because I was too busy processing what I had just heard, which was way worse than any other possible worst scenario I could have imagined, I knew his parents were hunters, I wasn't stupid that's what they were doing the day Aldahir was bitten and, by association, I assumed he was also a hunter, but I could have never imaged that he was part of a group specifically created for killing wolves and not even just wolves, werewolves... Suddenly a lot of things started to click into place regarding Aldahir.

At that very second somebody else entered the place and the second a saw a knife on their hand and a gun on the special pocket for it I transformed into a wolf and jumped at him. Before I knew it, the hunter who had come as backup was dead and I turned to the hunter with dark skin.

-No! – Said Aldahir getting I my way – you wanted to bit them, he's bitten, he will keep the secret

I growled at him, threaten to jump at him and then ran away doing everything I could to avoid collapsing
