Weak ends strong-- A befitting end!

Weak ends strong-- A befitting end!
Darren had ran through the woods in pursuit of the scent and tracks left by the person who had left the cellphone with instructions to trace them.

It was as though he were playing hide and seek as he rushed about the woods, running in trail of all sorts of things like hair, piece of clothing and marks on the trees.

With the piece of underwear in his hands, Darren could tell that it was a lady.

" Follow the trails I left behind in the woods towards the Moonblood pack if you wish to find Kyley. Hurry!" Running around the wilderness towards south, Darren couldn't help but be reminded of the content of the message that he'd found on the screen of the cellphone that he'd found on the countertop.

Considering this involved the Moonblood pack, Darren knew that he might very well be walking into a trap set up by Jason. However, he still persisted.

If they had taken Kyley captive, he needed to find her and save her regardless. He didn't care about this being a trap set up for him.

So long as he could find Kyley, Darren was willing to take the risk.

After a few hours of running about the wilderness, Darren arrived at a part. It was nighttime already and the full moon had emerged in the sky in full splendour.

Suddenly, Darren paused on his dash when he heard some growls and sounds of bush rustling.

He heard the pounding thuds of paws on the ground as they dashed through the woods on the other side of the path where he stood. It seemed as though they were in pursuit of one another through the darkness of the woods.

Darren could tell that it was a matter of life and death from the small terrified gasps and mad growls.

Just as he contemplated on what to do, Darren suddenly caught a whiff of a familiar scent that left him at alert. He instantly shifted into his lycan form and rushed towards the other side of the tall bush in an instant.

Coincidence or not, Darren was sure of what he smelt and felt.

He was certain that right ahead of him, was Kyley!

...

Having jumped at Jason and rolling down a downhill slope in the middle of the woods, Darren and Jason had a face off!

While Jason snarled and circled around Darren in a slow pace as if to size up.his new opponent, the latter just stood growling and snarling in a threatening manner at the alpha werewolf.

Darren was without doubt bigger in size and seemed at an advantage, but Jason was stronger under the full moon.

Despite Jason knowing that he was facing a lycan as his instincts screamed at him to back down, he stood his ground not willing to accept being subdued by anyone!...

Although being essentially the same race, the curse of lycanthropy in werewolves and Lycans set them apart. The latter were of pure cursed bloodline while the former were either turned by a lycan or birthed through a weak bloodline, thus causing the Lycanthropy curse to be weakened...

On the other hand, however, Darren was cursed. He was weaker under the full moon.

This was a battle that would test the strength of both generations, one at its peak and the other at its weakest.

The humid atmosphere in the woods grew tense as both alphas locked opposing glares with one another. Both feeling the need to rule supreme and dominant over the other.

It was inevitable now...

Rargh!

Jason suddenly lunged at Darren, raising his claws in a violent and swift motion. It wasn't anything like his fight with Paige earlier.

This time, he fought with the agility and ferocity of wild beast.

Darren didn't back down either as he dashed forward, swinging his long clawed arms in a slash, and biting his huge mouth down. He wasn't any different from Jason.

They both fought with the intent to kill!

Jason was fearsome despite facing Darren who was larger in size to him. Although he failed to match Darren's strength and power, he still managed to stand his ground with his agility and agressiveness.

However, Darren lacked nothing either as being able to stand on his hind legs made him even faster and able to turn around to face Jason as the latter ran around him.

Rargh! Rargh!

The woods echoed and blasted with mad growls and pounding as the battle between two alphas ensued.

Slash! Slash! Swoosh! Slash!

Rargh! Rargh!

Exchanging slashes of claws and ferocious bites, several scratches, bite marks with chunks of fleshes torn apart, and other wounds appeared in both of their bodies.

Jason sustained more injury, however, since he had already fought with several others beforehand after all. And facing a lycan in such a state was generally commendable on its own.

However, despite being riddled in wounds and bruises all over, he still persisted without backing down.

At some point, Jason took an open opportunity to lunge at Darren, aiming a bite of his rough jagged long teeth at his neck.

Crunch!

He missed however, and was only able to dig his teeth deep into Darren's shoulder.

" Owww!" Darren standing on his two hind legs, howled out to the sky in pain and took steps back.

However, his wild pupils gained a vengeful glint all of a sudden as he swung his claws down behind him and struck it back up in a forceful blow towards Jason.

Squish!

A sloshing sound was heard as Darren's claws pierced through Jason's abdomen, tearing through to his chest.

" Ughhh!" Blood gushed out as Jason jerked in a low painful grunt that became a deep whine as the grip of his teeth that dug deep into Darren's shoulder slowly released.

Thump!

He was pushed away in a violent swing by Darren, and crashed in a loud thump on the floor in the distance.He shifted into his human form, crawling on the floor with his hands to his abdomen which hurt like hell.

Splurt!

Cough!.cough!

He coughed out a hurl of blood and looked down with trembling eyes at the horrid tear that ran from his abdomen all the way up to his chest, leaving his intestines and organs in sight.

Jason stared with an incredulous gaze at this, distraught with fear and panic.

He was going to die!

Jason couldn't help but raise his gaze to look at his opponent. He couldn't die accepting that he hadn't also death a killing blow to the person through whose hands he would die.

However, Darren stood in the distance staring at Jason with a cold glare. His chest rose and fell as he breathed heavily from the intense battle.

He had also shifted into his human form, and held the wound in his right shoulder. Blood flowed down his right arm and trickled unto the floor as he stood weakly.

He was severely injured as well but not at a mortal level.

" Darren!" He suddenly heard and couldn't help but turn around to face Kyley who rushed down the slope and lunged at Darren from behind.

" Kyley" he held Kyley in his embrace as he muttered in a weak grunt. Thus caused him to grimace in pain but he clenched his teeth to bear the pain.

What was this pain to the warm embrace of his beloved?

He was glad that she was still alive...

" I-I'm sorry," Kyley suddenly moved away from his embrace and quickly looked towards his bloodied shoulder. She noticed that his whole body was also riddled in scratches and couldn't help but instantly be worried.

" Are you okqy?" She raised her gaze to look into Darren s eyes as she asked, only for her eyes to constrict in fear as she heard a loud scream from behind.

" Watch out!"

Darren saw Paige who stood at the top of the slope yelling with her hands stretched forward as she pointed behind him.

His gaze constricted in shock as he realized just what was going on. After all, he could see as Kyley's light blue eyes under the illumination of the silver moon light, reflected a dark figure lunging at him in the air from behind.

Darren's head rang as he instantly became alarmed.

Whoosh!

However, before he could do anything, he felt his body moving in a falling motion to the side without his will. He couldn't help but express panic as he caught sight of Jason who had lunged at him from behind, striking his claws which was meant for him now at Kyley from the side of his view.

His eyes widened in shock and terror at this!

" Kyley!" He called out in a loud panicky yell. All he could do was stretch an arm futilely.

He had been pushed away by Kyley!

Kyley after having pushed Darren away from the looming danger stared with horror in her pale blue eyes that reflected the shine of the silver moon and the ghastly blood-stained claws that came striking down straight at her.

Her heart dropped in a dull thrum and her whole view slowed down as every other sound became a dull echo in her ears that pounded wildly.

Distraught with fear, Kyley was so terrified that she just stared thoughtlessly.

However,

" Kyley!" The dull echo of Darren's voice as he called out to her worriedly reverberate through to her innate wolf and she suddenly felt the need to survive.

Under the lighting of the full moon, Kyley instinctively shifted into her wolf form and jumped at Jason before the latter could strike his claws at her.

Rargh!

Thump!

She pushed him back with her forelegs and pounced on Jason as the latter crashed on the floor beneath her feet.

Rarghhh!

Blinded by rage and the instinct to survive, Kyley's eyes gained a dangerous glint as she snarled and swung her sharp claws high and swung it down at Jason's neck.

Squish!

Blood splattered to the side along with a chunk of Jason's neck. The latter squirmed and thrashed about as he let out a death-growl underneath Kyley.

Rargh!

However, Kyley didn't stop as she kept swinging her sharp claws at him.

Squish! Splursh!

Squish!

Blood spilled about, painting the floor in a slosh as Kyley went on and on. Only the cruel sound of flesh tearing and blood splattering about could be heard through the gloomy silence in these parts of the woods.

All those times that he had made her suffer in pain and hurt. All those days and years of torment. Kyley let it all out at him!

It wasn't until she'd had enough that she finally stopped. Her hands hung midair as she shifted back into her human form.

She sat on Jason's lifeless body with her head lowered, tears dropped falling from her face as she sobbed.

" Hah!" She instantly gasped and hurried away from the horrific sight of what remained of Jason's corpse, falling on her behind as her chest rose and fell in panic.

Seeing this, Darren who stood rooted watching Kyley go all out on Jason like a ferocious beast jolted out of his lost daze and hurried beside Kyley to wrap his hands around her.

" It's okay!" He hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead, not minding that Kyley was covered in Jason's blood all over.

Paige who had watched everything in silence couldn't help but express shock. Relief and slight disbelief in her heart.

She couldn't help but stare at the remains of Jason's corpse with an incredulous gaze, wondering when it'd rise.

However, even after a long while, it didn't. Jason's corpse just lay there lifeless.

' He really is dead!...'

Kyley had killed him!

" To think that he'd have to die this way. Quite the befitting end for a prideful bastard."

Paige suddenly heard a hoarse deep voice say beside her and couldn't help but look towards her side to see who it was.

" Just what he deserved!" Another voice that was much more terse spoke as the person seemed to emerge beside Paige out of nowhere.

Paige expressed shock when she saw these two, and she couldn't help but raise her guard.

These two people weren't supposed to be seen together, after all!

However, Paige calmed after a while when she made quick connections.

She didn't say anything afterwards. Paige just moved her gaze back to Jason's lifeless body just as Alphonse and Harrod who stood to her sides did.

It was something that neither of them never thought that they would ever live to witness, after all.
