"Who are you?" ask Kei.
Kei took a few steps back. Kei knew they were neither werewolves nor ordinary humans.
"Do you not know me prince?" ask the man. Kei just kept quiet. "Ahh very disappointing. We have met before. Don't you remember the prince? Or should I call alpha?"
Kei's eyes were wide. He recognized the man. He was the one who attacked him and Bian while in the forest back then. Yes, Kei is pretty sure he's the one. He remembered his grin.
"Well what are you?" ask Kei again.
"Call me Horvick alpha. I just want something from you" Horvick said.
"Something from me? Whatisit? And why are you being so polite to me?"
"Something you shouldn't wear and about me being polite to you, isn't that what it should be? Alpha of the alpha, king of the Lycantrhopeans. Of course I have to be polite" Horvick said by bowing his body slightly.
"I don't understand what you're saying" Kei said and left. But just one step, suddenly one of them blocked his path.
"Side." said Kei coldly. But the man didn't move at all.
"Sorry alpha, but you won't be able to leave until I get what I want" Horvick said.
Kei growled in annoyance. He was ready to turn himself into a wolf. But suddenly Kei felt suffocated. His breathing was tight and his neck hurt but there was not a single hand on his neck. Horvick strangled her without touching her.
"Take the necklace." he ordered one person to block Kei's path.
The man walked up to Kei and grabbed the necklace. But had not been able to reach it, the man crashed far away. Horvick and one other person were shocked. They're looking.
"Take him off." said the man.
"Magnofold." murmured Horvick. But Horvick didn't let go of his strangulation. Kei's already starting to limp.
"I said let go" said the man again. That person was Kate, who was looking after Tania.
"It's very rude to interfere in someone's business, Magnofold" Horvick said.
"His business with him means my business too" Kate said. "Depercantian!!"
Kate attacks Horvick and quickly dodges Horvick, making him unleash his magic from Kei. Kate ran straight to Kei. Kei was still coughing and trying to breathe normally.
"Let's get up, let's get out of here." Kate helped Kei stand up.
"Not so fast" said Horvick and swung his hand. Kate's down. Kate tried to stand up.
"Let's! Transform yourself and leave! I'll hold them! Hurry up" said Kate who was standing up. "Electrico!! Now Kei!!!"
Kei complies and transforms himself into a wolf. Kei ran away from them.
"The damned woman." said Horvick. Horvick brutally assaulted Kate. Kate was busy dodging the attack.
"You both know what you have to do" Horvick told the two men he was with. The two people nodded and immediately went after Kei.
"Now it's just the two of us Mognofold. It's a fight between life and death. Let's see who's gonna die tonight and this... It's so fun."

Kei running is not necessarily directional. He just kept running away from the witches.
'Ian! Ian, do you hear me?' Kei tried Ian's mindlink.
'Key! You where? Why did you leave the house? Are you crazy?!' reply Ian.
'It's not time to scold me. Help me, I'm running away from that witch.'
'What?! Where're you?'
Kei stopped running and looked around.
'I'm in the woods behind the school.'
'Go to the training ground, I'm there now.'
Kei decided on his mindlink and immediately ran again. Suddenly something shone through it. Kei was surprised and stopped. She's looking.
'Shit! The witch again! I have to hurry.'
Kei ran again without looking. The witches were still showering him with magic. Suddenly Kei crashed and hit the tree beside him.
'Ugh... Ill.'
Kei got up and growled loudly. The witch attacked Kei using her magic. Kei avoid. Kei jumped high and attacked one of the witches. The witch was on the ground. Kei quickly bit the witch's shoulder.
"Aaaarrr.ggg....!!!!" the witch screamed in pain. But soon Kei's wolf body again crashed. Kei swiftly balanced his body until he managed to balance himself. Kei stared at the witch sharply.
"These are!!" the witch cast a spell on Kei. The spell hit Kei but strangely the spell did not make Kei crash like he should. The witch was surprised and returned to cast spells in a row. Nothing worked. Kei snarled loudly and ran towards the witch then lunged at her. The witch's body fell on the ground. Not wasting any chance, Kei tore the witch's body apart until she didn't move anymore.
'Just...' Kei turned and growled. 'Kei, it's me Ian.'
Ian had already turned into a wolf and approached Kei slowly.
'Kei.' call Ian again.
'Yes, Ian. I'm doing fine. The necklace Bian gave him worked well. I haven't changed.'
'I saw it. Let's go home.'
They ran together still with their wolf form.
Prangs!!
I heard something breaking. Kei and Ian stopped running.
'What the hell is that?' ask Kei.
Ian did not answer. He looked around for the origin of the sound and then he realized. He lifted his head.
'Shit!!' ian's Sumpat. Kei surprised.
'What's up? What is that sound?' ask Kei.
'We have to go Kei, now!!"
'But what is Ian?!'
'The town is protected by the protective spell of the white witch Kei, so the blacks and Ordovic's army cannot enter. But the spell is gone. They're coming Kei, we have to hurry.'
'Wait a minute, what do you mean, protective spells? Then how did that witch who attacked me get in?'
'Indeed, it is suspected that there are some witches entering, for that is not Bian who takes care of you, he is looking for the witches, but they are so devious. Come on, later on the story. We need to get to Sebastian's alpha house right away.'
Ian started running. Kei followed Ian from behind. Ian stopped his steps suddenly.
"It turns out you're here" said someone in front of them. The man was wearing black clothes. Her hair was shoulder-length and looked tangled. Ian snarled loudly, trying to threaten the man. The man just smiled cynically.
"Maybe I'm alone, but do you know? If the whites have the elected leaders, then the blacks have me. There's no point in y'all snarling at me." said the man.
Ian lowered his body slightly, preparing to attack. Ian jumped high, but not yet at the man, Ian fell. The man has already swung his hand.
"Inchin-te noodles"
The man stretched out his right hand. Ian was in pain. His bones are crumbling. Breath tight. Ian groaned in pain. Kei growling. The man stretched out his left hand.
"Inchin-te noodles"
The man cast the same spell. Kei's body immediately fell on the ground.
"Dearly enough. You should be useful. But I already have an agreement. Even though I'm not a good person, I'm a person who keeps my word" said the man. The man walked over to Kei who had turned himself into a human.
"Either what that stupid Horvick did was to the point of not being able to take care of one teenage boy" he said after arriving in front of Kei. The man was holding the necklace that Kei was wearing.
"Ti-no, ja-don't. "kei pinta.
"Stay away from him" said Ian who was already standing firm. The man turned his head and spread his arms and then strangled Ian without touching him. With his magic, he made Ian's body float and drew closer to the man. The man noticed Ian's face as he got closer.
"Beta." he muttered and then sneered sarcastically. The man then threw Ian away and hit a tree and fell to the ground. His hand that still holds Kei's necklace then pulls the necklace rough until it is detached from Kei's neck.
"You know the prince, it'll be midnight soon. If you can get through tomorrow, you will become a very strong alpha, who is predicted to be the king of all alpha. My advice is not to get killed."
Said the man with his cynical smile. The man then left by teleporting.

Meanwhile at Tania's house, Kate was already lying limp on the ground. His body is weak and sick. But he didn't show it to Horvick. Kate stood up straight.
"You won't be able to fight me that easily Magnofold" Horvick said. Horvick also looked weak. "Let's finish it."
"Blessimort i's......... Aaaarrgghhh!!!"
Horvick's body trembled violently, like he was electrocuted. Bian bewitched Horvick and ran to Kate who was sitting leaning against a tree.
"Kate are you okay?" ask Bian. Kate just nodded weakly.
"Pe. perem.. Si.. Damn it.." groaned Horvick.
"Jake, help me" Bian said as he pointed at Horvcik. Jake who had turned into a wolf instantly attacked Horvick and tore his body apart until it did not move anymore.
"Dian.." call Kate.
"Don't talk first. I'll heal your wounds first." said Bian.
"Dian, Tania.. Her.. She was kidnapped" Kate said. Bian closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
"I guessed it." he muttered.
"What?"
"No. Be still. Let me cure you."
Bian uses his magic to heal Kate who is quite badly injured.
"I went to Tania's room first. I want to take something that belongs to Tania" Bian said after healing Kate.
"It's okay Kate, we'll get Tania back" Bian said as he took the hairband.
Bian closed his eyes and concentrated.
"Tania." he muttered.
Soon, light came into him. Bian's breath was restrained. Bian saw something in his mind. A room lit only by small lights. There's Tania there, tied to a chair.
Bian opened his eyes. Breath hunting.
"You know where?" ask Kate. Bian shakes.
"I still don't know. I'm still too weak. I'll try again" Bian said.
"No, that's enough. We'll find another way" Kate said.
"We don't have one and please don't argue with me." stressed Bian.
Bian closed his eyes again and called out Tania's name. The white light came again as well as his breath being restrained. Bian looked back at Tania, this time he saw very clearly where Tania was. Bian opened his eyes.
"At Lykort." said Bian. "Pack Moon Lykort."
"Away. Means the mastermind of the kidnapping is Ordovic" Kate said. Bian nodded. Bian turned his body from Gina. He wiped his nose that was bleeding.
"Jake, you and Mike go find Kei and help Ian look after him. Me and Kate are going to Pack Moon Lykort. And if you meet with Mr. Augys Harris, ask him to follow me to Lykort and for Mr. Damian Breggier to do Sebastian's alpha plan. Don't tell anyone about Tania except Damian and Augys."
Jake and Mike who were still in the form of wolves immediately left. Kate and Bian hold hands and teleport.

Alpha sebastian's house is already crowded. Everyone gathered there including Kei's father and mother.
The entire border has been heavily guarded by a pack force of Moon Sykort, led by trained omega-omega. Several troops were standing guard at the habitual human habitation.
Ian and Kei arrive at Sebastian's house. Kai's father immediately hugged Kei.
"Kei are you okay?" ask Kei's father. Kei nodded.
"Kalung Kei father. Kei's necklace was taken." said Kei.
"What?! By who?" ask Kei's father.
"Kei doesn't know father." Kei replied.
"The magician and he's very strong." Ian added.
"That's it, the most important thing is that you're okay" Kei's father said.
"That's right." Sebastian added.
"Gipz!" George ran to Sebastian. "Border attacked."
"Are they still capable of handling it?" ask Sebastian.
"They're overwhelmed. And most importantly.... They entered the territory of ordinary humans. They could get hurt." George reported.
"Send the troops again and George, take Kian and go the opposite direction make sure it's safe and go help me. I'll go together
our forces are to secure the common man" Sebastian said.
"And alpha, they're very much. The combination of a hybrid and several packs that already know about Kei. I'm saying goodbye."
George's gone.
"I'll help you. It's time for me to fight" Kei's father said. Sebastian nodded. "Let's go inside Sebastian's house and wait with your mother and sister inside."
"No dad, let Kei come. Kei can help." pinta Kei.
"No Kei, don't take any chances. Wait here."
"But..."
"Don't argue with Kei" Kei's father said firmly. Kei sighed.
"All right."
"And you're Ian, stay here and take care of Kei. I'm leaving Kei to you. Guard him. I know you're capable" Kei's father said as he patted Ian on the shoulder. Ian patting.
Kei's father, along with Sebastian, went to an ordinary human settlement with an army of werewolves and some Knirers. Damian asks Knirer for help.
"Come on Kei, I'll stay here" said Ian. Kei just kept quiet. "Come on Kei." persuaded Ian.
"I feel useless." lamented Kei.
"Don't say it like that, leave" Ian said. Kei nodded and went inside the house.
Kei came to Damian who was standing with several Elders.
"Sir, is the portal ready?" ask Ian.
"of course. I've gathered the strongest Elder to open the portal" Damian said.
"We will try to help because it concerns a lot of young people" said another Elder named Barnabas. Ian nodded.
"How much longer?" asked the old female Elder named Felicia.
"Now it's half twelve. According to Kei's parents, Kei was born at three in the morning, which means three and a half hours" Damian said.
"Hopefully everything is fine" Augys said.
The master..!! Mr..!!" call Jake who's at Sebastian's. Everyone look over.
"Jake? Is there a problem?" ian asked after Jake got next to him. He still did not answer and was still trying to catch his breath.
"Mr Harris." call Jake after his breathing is regular. "Bian asked and followed him to the Moon Lykort pack."
"Pack Moon Lykort's? What's that for?" ask Ian.
"Tania was kidnapped. Bian and Kate are trying to save him" Jake said.
"Go Augys" said Damian. Augys nodded then immediately teleported.
"Are you okay?" ask Ian. Jake nodded.
"Where's alpha?" ask Jake.
"They went to save the people. Go young, help your alpha, do your job as gamma" Damian said. Jake nodded and ran and turned himself into a wolf again.
"Tania kidnapped? What does it mean they know about Tania?" ask Ian.
"If Tania has to die for Kei, I don't think so. But if Tania can get in the way of all this, they know. That's why they kidnapped her" Damian said. Damian saw the worry on Ian's face. Damian patted Ian on the shoulder. "Don't worry."
"How can I not worry sir. Kei necklace taken, we were attacked by many parties that I'm sure it was the goddamn Ordovick who instigated the alpha from the other pack. Then... The only last weapon in captivity while I can't do anything to help!! I'm so useless!!" sleep Ian. He was very upset with her.
"Don't say that. You do what you can, everyone does too. You are a strong and great beta Ian, you have to believe that. Now enter. Accompany Kei. Let us, the Elders and Knirers stand guard outside" Damian said. Ian took a long breath.
"Well, I'm sorry" said Ian. Ian went into the house.
"Is he a beta?" ask Barnabas.
"Yes, it's Kei's beta" Damian said.
"I'm really confused by all this. Kei is a descendant of Eros. Eros who changed the werewolf clan from the one that originally could only change during the full moon, now they could change at any time. But shouldn't Kei be the king of Lycanthrope? Why Ordovic?"
"Because of the envy of Barnabas and also greed. He thought that by taking his brother's throne and killing his nephew he could change his destiny. But he just resurrected the creature" Damian said.
"I feel sorry for that girl, what's her name?" said Felicia.
"Tania, Tania Reynolds" Damian said.
"Yes, he. It's so bad." said Felicia.
"Yes, it's his destiny" Damian said. His face seemed to be thinking of something.
"Damian, are you hiding something from us?" guess Felicia.
"Ahhh no, certainly not Feli."
"Damian, I've known you for a long time and I even know you better than yourself. I know the look on that face. Tell Damian, what's wrong? Is this about the kid? Kei?" sahut Felicia's.
"No, no. It's about Bian. I'm worried about the look" Damian said.
"What's wrong with her?" ask Barnabas.
"Entering the Moon Goddes temple has already confiscated her power and magic and I know she did something. I've asked but he didn't say it." Damian explained.
"Is this because of Kei? I saw there was magic in her body" Felicia said.
"You saw it too?" ask Damian.
"certain."
"Isn't that protection magic?" ask Barnabas.
"No, it's ancient magic. I just hope he doesn't do something that threatens himself" Damian said.
"Damian's strong son. I think he'll be okay."
"Yes, I hope so."
"If Kei changes, there will be many dead tonight." Felicia muttered.
Everyone shut up, no longer talking. They saw lightning-like flashes in the sky, signaling a fierce fight was underway.
