Birth

"Run my lady!" Elvis cried. "Run as fast as you can." He and a female werewolf were being chased by a pack of twelve fierce-looking werewolves. They were being chased through the wood but the female werewolf can't pick up enough speed to outrun the werewolves as she would.

She is the Ultimate Luna of Asark. A world set aside from the human world with a large amount of magic. It has a barrier that keeps its inhabitants from interfering in human lives and vice versa. She just gave birth to a werewolf half a day ago and is unable to run. She could have healed five hours after she gave birth but during the birth, she has been using her power to conceal her and her Alpha's brother's presence.

Both of them had left the Ultimate den in search of a hunt or more like so she could see him hunt. Just to pass time. She had been pregnant for the past one and a half years. She was expecting the baby anytime soon but never expected it to be the day she decided to go through the woods.

"My lord, we are being followed. I can sense some presence, full of disgust and murderous intent." Another young werewolf who had volunteered to go along reported to Elvis. He decided against reporting it to Luna who was already in the process of child birthing. He sent the young werewolf with him to go ahead and scout. The young werewolf left immediately and head towards where he thought the evil aura is coming from. After 10 minutes, Elvis heard a deep howl which communicated that the young wolf is being attacked. The young wolf sent him a message that he should run away with the Luna.
"Where is Bledig?" The Luna asked, still groaning from child labor. Two other female werewolves were helping her. He looked deep into her eyes. Shook his head and darken his eyes.

The Ultimate Luna got his message about Bledig -the young wolf's warning and death-. Immediately, she dug her claws into the ground behind her. She inhaled deeply and exhaled sharply. And did a silent howl that could be heard only by those close to her. And throughout the night, she hid her presence with that of the three others with her. After she gave birth, she passed out and the magic hiding their presence worked for one hour before she woke up. Immediately she woke up, the magic faded away.

The other werewolves whose aura Bledig had informed Elvis of, were drawing nearer. Elvis and others could sense them now.

"Such bloodlust and disgust" one of the female werewolves cried.

"Don't go deep into sensing their presence. It will corrupt you" Elvis warned. He made the Ultimate Luna and two others stay behind him. He growled silently and deeply. His large body bent. His claws grew longer. He turned into a Dire werewolf. A creature two feet larger than he was. And he was three feet taller than an average human.
He could sense them and see them from more than half a mile away. He growled in his Dire werewolf form and became battle-ready. He could see that he and the Ultimate Luna were outnumbered. He knew the only kind of werewolves that can do this. The Rogue Werewolves.
"Elvis. We will keep them down, take the Ultimate Luna and her kid away from here. She is too weak to fight or use her magic. Her body is still healing" one of the female werewolves said.
Elvis could fight them but won't win. He could bring down one or two. But he can't protect the ultimate Luna that way. He can only buy time which won't be enough. He should carry the Ultimate Luna and the kid. Also, these two can buy time and he could get the Ultimate Luna more time.

"My Lady. Pick up the pace." He howled. He couldn't run fast else he outpace the Ultimate Luna. The Ultimate Luna would normally run at over 390km/h but now she is struggling between 180km/h. He looked behind him and could see the Rogue Werewolves catching up. He expected them to come after them, but not as fast as they did. He reckons the female werewolves didn't stand a chance then.
The Ultimate Luna kept running after him. All of a sudden, she fell and could hardly move.

"Elvis, listen to me. I can't keep up with this. I need time to recuperate."
"My lady. This ain't you. You are faster and stronger than I am. Give it your best." He said bending over her. He saw the Rogue Werewolves not far behind them. He realized with the pace he and the Ultimate Luna are running, the Rogues will catch up with them in no time. It is better to stand and fight an honorable last stand than to get hunted. His pride was on the line. Not just his, that of the Ultimate Luna, and even the Ultimate Alpha. It would be embarrassing if words should get out that the Ultimate Luna and Ultimate Alpha's brother were hunted down like some weaklings. Or some prey.

"We have to make our last stand here. All I want of you is to protect my daughter. I will send her away from here with the last of my power. You should help me, `` Ultimate Luna said. It was like she was reading his thoughts. That's exactly what he was about to suggest.
"If it's not the Ultimate Luna and her lover's brother," the apparent alpha of the Rogue Werewolves said after catching up.
"Maccon, can you see that little Felan over there? Won't it be nice to have something for our Alpha"
"Yes, it will be nice. Albeit, we will have to kill an uncle and his little niece." Maccon, the supposed Alpha said.
"Touch her and draw your last breath here" Elvis growled angrily
"You shall not threaten me" Maccon growled back, stronger than Elvis'.
"And what if I do? What sort of cowardly werewolf goes after two non-fighting werewolves and a kid."
The Rogue Werewolves all grinned in mocking Elvis. He was right though. He was not a fighting Werewolf. He is more of a scholar. The Ultimate Luna wasn't a warrior wolf either. She barely has enough brute strength to go against any other Werewolf. She only uses her magic to repress others. But now, she doesn't have enough magic to hold off twelve Werewolves.
"It doesn't matter what a werewolf is. A threat is a threat"
"And how are we a threat?"
"How is an ultimate Luna not a threat. You shall not fool us till she regains whatever dark magic she inherited." Maccon said and transformed into a Dire Werewolf. Others did the same thing. Elvis also transformed. He knew he stand not a chance against these Werewolves. He could see that there are only two Alphas among the twelve Werewolves. Even if they were no Alphas, he still has no chance against them.
Two Beta jumped towards him. He dodged their attack and grabbed one by the neck. He pressed him to the groan and threw him to the other side. The other one went for his nape, but he dodged and clawed it right from under.
"Wow! A non-fighter indeed. I see you have the blood of the Ultimate in you. Whether you want or not, your reflexes move when in danger. But you know the weakness, it's only what your eyes see that your reflexes defend against." Maccon said and dash towards Elvis. Before Elvis could jump away from him, Maccon punched him in his throat. He fell on the floor with his back. He groaned and writhed.
"You should have something more. I guess what Lord Horgan says isn't true. The ultimate clan should not be underrated? Perhaps he overestimated your powers." Maccon said and jumped high. Elvis looked towards him but was attacked by one of the Betas he injured. He was punched close to his groin and he growled in pain.
"Elvis!" The ultimate Luna cried seeing how her protector had just been injured.
She had been praying and chanting. The other Werewolves didn't seem to notice. But that had been her and Elvis' plan.

"Elvis, we can't escape them. We can't fight them. There is only one option left."
"i... I know, my lady" he replied, catching his breath from the last punch.
"I will have to summon the last of my magic and transport her. The only thing is the magic I can summon, I won't have control over it since I will be using my life force"
"Your life force? That means you will die" Elvis jerked.
"I will. And my daughter lives. That is much more preferable. And there is no chance that I will be released or not killed if I surrender... It's better we fall here than our clan be ridiculed as having the ultimate Luna as a servant of some rogue Werewolves"
"My lady." He said, shaking his head. He knows she is telling the truth but he needs to rebel a bit. He can't just resort to a suicidal option, can he?
"Will there be any drawbacks to this?" He asked, looking at the Werewolves who were already closed. Just a few seconds and they will be surrounded.
"She won't be transported within our world. She will be teleported to the human world. I have no strength left to direct my portal" The ultimate Luna said. Elvis' eyes were red with anger but he couldn't use his anger to strengthen himself. He can only use people's helplessness to strengthen himself, but the ultimate Luna still has hope in her. She believes transporting her daughter is the only thing she wants. She believes in humans so much that transporting her child to their world doesn't freak her.
"My lady. Till you summon enough magic, I shall fend them off. I shall put my will into her and make her grow. I will guide her and protect her in the human world. Even if I die by you now, my soul shall live by her." He said and she smiled. He could see strength and resolve in her eyes. He garnered hope and strength also.

"Elvis!" She cried.
"Not now... I will never fall till my promises are fulfilled." He said rising and charging towards the Beta that hit him. He had lost his composure. He ran at full speed but was stopped within ten seconds. Maccon grabbed his arm, twisted it about. Elvis screamed. Maccon punched him in the face. He kept pounding his face till it was battered. He left him standing. Turned around and kicked him in the face. The kick sent Elvis flying back towards the ultimate Luna.
"My lady. Draw it out of me before I die." She looked at him with pity. She put her hand on his chest close to his heart. Then she points her claw towards it and her thumb on his forehead. She inhaled and exhaled sharply. She pulled a thin line of purple light out of him and passed it to her child.
"In my next life, I shall serve you better," he said and quickly moved away from her.
"This is about to get interesting" Maccon said and the other Alpha with him chuckled. Elvis turned into a Dire Werewolf. He had once been in his Dire Werewolf form but this is a bit different. Now, the only instinct that distinguishes him from a beast. The logical reasoning he has, that makes him feel love and other emotions, has been drawn out of him. Now he is purely a large bloodthirsty beast, who would fight anything in its sight. friends or foe
He charged towards the Rogue Werewolves. He attacked Maccon. Maccon blocked it but was still injured. Elvis attacked other Werewolves and they all had to dodge or run away from him. For the next three minutes, he kept pushing them far, and they never made any attack.
"How subservient of you. I guess you left us with no options." Maccon said and they all turned into Dire Werewolves. They were not as bloodthirsty as his, because they still have their soul in them.
Within a minute, Elvis' strength has reduced from what it was. Now the Rogue Werewolves attacked in Unison. He was no match for their brutal attacks. He kept on fighting till a Dire Werewolf's claw dug into his neck and tore him. Other Dire Werewolves tore his skin at different parts. Then Maccon came forward. He turned into a Werewolf and others did. They held him down and broke his neck.
"Elvis!!"
"He is dead," Maccon replied, still licking the blood on him. His minor injuries have already healed. He walked towards the Ultimate Luna and her baby. He didn't anticipate what happened next.
A sudden beam of energy appeared out of nowhere, and she placed her hand on the baby's forehead.
"Elvis! Now sleep. Take along with you her wolf's will. Till she is grown enough to control the rage around her. Till there is enough rage for her to feed on, do not wake. But once you wake, guide her to the right path, and then shall you go your way." She cursed and threw the child into the portal that appeared.
Maccon only realised what she planned on doing late. Exercising the true power of an ultimate Luna. He ran towards her at top speed. But his speed couldn't keep up with hers at the moment. He stretched his hand to catch the baby. She maneuvered and his claws went deep into her stomach.
"You will never get to control a true Ultimate Luna. Not as long as..." He didn't care what she wanted to say next as he slashed her throat with full force. He clawed out her oesophagus and ate it.
"Well, boys. Keep the head and the heart safe. Job is done" Maccon said.
"Won't you agree Maccon, Ultimate clan taste slightly different"
"From my father, I heard they are the direct descendants of the first Dire Werewolves. Too bad he died a comrade of one of them"
