Chapter 113: Chapter 113

[ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]

Twenty hours since I stepped inside the Black Forest and eight hours after I fought and killed those bear-like beasts and the wounds made by that f*cking bear trap made of silver haven’t healed yet. To lessen the pressure on the wound, I decided to morph back into my human form. I noticed that the wound was bone-deep, and I had to take an hour of rest to at least let some tissue regenerate around the femur. I had been walking half-naked around the forest after I tore my shirt and used it to cover the wound.

Blood squelched and spurted as I step my injured leg and I couldn’t stop grimacing from it. The excruciating pain shot up to my thigh, causing me to drag my feet while I searched for the herb. I already went to places that were near water sources, but no plants ever looked like how they were described in the drawing Samantha had provided me as a rough reference.

Samantha and Mom must have gone to that meeting, and I felt bad that I couldn’t go back yet when I hadn’t made any progress with what I was searching for. I promised her I would go back with it, and I would never come back with an empty hand.

It was my chance to prove to Samantha that I would do anything for her. And if it meant I had to risk my life just to prove to her I could do it, then I would fight even the last beast lurking in this g*dd*mned place.

The sun was high and the forest was getting strangely humid. I looked up at the sun and squinted, blinking my eyes fast as the sharp rays almost blinded me. Beads of sweat ran down my face and my already dirt-smeared body, and I grimaced as I lifted my hand to shield my eyes from the glare of afternoon sunlight.

I let out a deep sigh. I was starting to feel hopeless as I dropped my eyes and there—not too far from me—a plant with a purple flower looking almost like a stargazer made my heart skip a beat. At first, I thought I was hallucinating because of the Silver Poison and hunger. But after blinking my eyes several times and confirming it was real, I immediately stood from my seat and stepped closer to it.

It sprouted between giant stones. A tiny flower that was softly blown by the hot gust of wind. I didn’t waste any more moments and picked it carefully, not wanting to damage the petals of the flowers since my mate reminded me that the petals were the most important part of the herb for her to consume.

“I can’t believe you are just hiding here...” I murmured as I stared down at the beautiful flower.

I put it inside a stainless steel container that I brought with me to keep it safe. A small smile tugged on my lips as I realized I finally could go back home and tell Samantha the good news! That the herb did exist, and I found it!

I turned around and was about to leave and go back to my family when I felt multiple presences surrounding me. My eyes narrowed as I placed the stainless steel case in the back pocket of my jeans.

“Now you found the herb, I don’t think we can let you go back to your Luna, Alpha Dominic.” one of them uttered in his rough, baritone voice. A tall man, about five more inches taller than me, long-bearded and with a huge scar across his face. He had ten—no. About twenty men with him surrounded me with silver weapons.

No hand marks painted on them.

They were not Black Claws!

“Who are you! Have you been following me?!” I growled at him, ensuring the plant remained safely in my pocket.

“It doesn’t matter who we are! We want that plant, Alpha of the Silver Crescent. You are not supposed to have that.” He responded with a mocking grin. “Hand it to me and we will spare you life.”

I scoffed, almost wanting to laugh in derision, “There’s no way I would give this to you. You have to kill me first.”

“Then get ready to die!”

The tall bearded guy lunged at me with his fangs, aiming straight for my head. I had no plans to shift to my werewolf form, but I had no choice. The last clothes I brought were ripped when I jumped midair away from the attacking enemy and swallowed the stainless steel case, hoping it wouldn’t melt in my stomach.

The enemy’s eyes widened at what he witnessed and roared. Good. Just like I told him, he has to kill me first before he gets the g*dd*mned thing.

Five of them attacked me at the same time and I ripped their limbs one by one, making the others flinch in horror. The largest one among them, the bearded one, which I supposed was their leader, watched the way I fought. As if he was trying to analyze my moves, my patterns and my Alpha abilities before he prepared himself to face me.

It was as if those men with him were like pawns to test my strength.

Their styles, their way of fighting, were so different from Black Claws. They displayed a high level of organization. They were much more powerful than those bandit criminals, and I could tell they underwent intensive training because of how tough they were in a fight.

One gash on the back. My right leg was already limping as well, and I could hardly get to my feet. I killed all the bearded guy’s minions but that giant, scarred-faced wolf was too strong; I barely scratched his thick, tough body.

It was as if he was a soldier enhanced to execute high-ranking people in a pack.

Like an Alpha.

Could it be that these people were from the Fang Trinity that Samantha told me about? Could they be members of the Fang Trinity, the pack known for producing super soldiers capable of annihilating powerful clans?

It took me a lot of power to just stand and glare at him in the eyes.

I had to fight. I had to go back to my family.

I promised Samantha I would go back. Alive.
