Chapitre 1 Chapter 1
Somewhere in a random forest , a full moon night Someone is running, then we can hear the howl of a werewolf : " A-wouuuuuuuuuu ! " " He is over there ", Natalia said after she dropped to touch a trace of blood on the ground . " We are going to encircle him. Steven and Todd, go left. Alexia and I will go right. Todd ! Prepare the trap ", Natalia told her friends and they all nodded. Then, Natalia and her friends are running again. You are probably wondering who I am and what I'm doing right now.
Well, my name is Natalia but my friends call me Nata and I'm a werewolf huntress and right now I'm hunting a werewolf with my team composed by Alexia , Todd, Steven and me. Alexia is as dangerous as seductive, she takes care of distracting and attracting our target to the traps. Todd, is the brain of the team, he makes all our traps and our weapons too. Steven, only muscles, he isn't as smart as Todd but he knows how to fight and he always covers our back. And finally me, I'm the leader of the team and I'm also the one who makes the plans to catch these werewolf. " Do you see him ?", whispered Todd. " Not yet ", Alexia replied. " Be patient, he will sooner or later show up . I hurt him with an arrow coated with curare earlier. It should paralyze him very quickly ", Natalia said. *** The curare is a poison of vegetable origin, used by the Indians of South America. The animal wounded by the poisoned arrow becomes incapable of any movement *** Then they heard the sound of a branch that breaks. " David !! Come here David ! We won't hurt you. We just want to talk ", Natalia said with an ironic tone. Then she nodded to her friends when she pierced the silhouette of David, the alpha of a pack of Werewolf. " We got you David ", she said when they finally encircled David who is paralyzed on the ground because of the effect of the curare, then David growled one last time. Back at the headquarters of The Horde The Horde is a secret organization of Werewolf hunters led by Christina Harrington. The Horde has existed since the first appearance of the Werewolf on the Earth, it tracks, hunts and captures Werewolf, its motto : " United we stand, united we stay ". " You did a great job everyone ", Natalia said to her teammates " Oh! Finally we catched him . It's been days now that we were tracking him and it's been days that I didn't take care of myself, have you seen these bags under my eyes, Nata ? I need to take a nap ", Alexia stated. " Home Sweet Home ! ", exclaimed Todd. " Lazybones !! ", Steven told them while rolling his eyes. " Just Chill Steven ! We succeeded in our mission. We deserve to make a little break ", Alexia said. " Take all the breaks that you want guys, I want you to be in good shape tomorrow because we have training ", Natalia told them. " Alright Boss ", Steven said. " I've already told you to not call me boss Steven, Nata suits me very well ", Natalia stated and then left them. " Hi, Nata ! ", greeted a girl when Natalia was walking in the hallway. " Good morning Natalia ! ", greeted another man who was waliking in the hallway. Natalia is kind of popular in The Horde as she never failed in one of her missions. Her parents were also part of the Horde but they both perished on their mission when Natalia was barely 5 years old. She has since been welcomed and raised by the Harrington and is even dating Christina Harrington's grandson, Jamie Harrington. " Hey you ! ", she said and then hugged Jamie from behind. " Hey ! You are already back ?! How was the hunt ? ", Jamie replied to her. " Yeah, we finished the mission sooner than planned. The hunt was very good as always ", she told him. " I missed you so much you know " , Natalia stated. " I missed you too. You must be exhausted there ", Jamie replied. " Oh, yeah ! And I'm not against a little massage ", Natalia said and then winked at Jamie. " Then let me take care of you beautiful creatures ", Jamie told her and then carried her in his arms and they began to kiss each other. At Cresthill , " No ! No ! No ! ", Axel screamed while he is sleeping. " Axel ?! Are you alright ? ", asked Victoria trying to wake Axel up. Then Axel woke up, sweaty and his claws were out. " It happened again Vic ", Axel told her . " Your nightmares ?! ", Victoria asked worriedly. " Yes , it was the same as the last time. It was a full moon night but the moon was as red as blood. I howled at the moon but I couldn't control my transformation anymore, my claws and my teeth were more sharper than usual and I couldn't come back to my human. Then, I saw that gigantic silhouette coming towards me slowly ", Axel told her. " Hey ! It's okay , I'm here right next to you ", Victoria said and then hugged Axel. But suddenly, Axel's phone rang. " What's up Ryan ?", Axel said, responding to the phone call. " Axel !? We have a problem ", Ryan told him in the phone call. " I'm coming right away ", Axel replied then got up quickly from his bed to get prepared. " What's wrong ? ", asked Victoria curiously. " It was Ryan, apparently something bad happened. You can come with there or stay here, do as you wish ", Axel said. " I'm coming with you then ", Victoria replied and get dressed too. His name is Axel Sawyer, he is a successful businessman but he is also a Werewolf, more precisely, he is an Alpha, the Alpha of Cresthill's Werewolves and recently he has been doing the same nightmare again and again without knowing why. Axel's father, Robert Sawyer, is not a werewolf, he is the mayor of Cresthill. Ryan , who is a werewolf , is Axel's best friend and his right arm. Victoria, who is also a werewolf, is not Axel's girlfriend but let's say that Axel and her are kind of friends with benefits. Axel and Victoria, after getting dressed, went at Crawford mansion, which is a werewolf benchmark. It belongs to Jerôme Crawford, one of the most old werewolf of Cresthill, he didn't become a werewolf by a bite but his mother before and all his ancestor before him were already werewolves but since he didn't have children, he has chosen Axel as his apprentice. " We are here. Can you finally tell us what really happened ?", Axel asked, frustrated. " It's about our friend David ", Ryan replied, anxiously. " What happened with him ?", Axel asked. " His pack has been under attacked and it was the Horde ", Ryan said, worriedly. " What ?! When did that happen ? Were there survivors ? How is David ? Are we sure it was the Horde ? ", Axel asked, startled. " Yes, few of them have managed to escape and they are now in a safe place. For sure it was the Horde as they used bullets in solid silver and arrow soaked in curare and aconite. And for what David is, he apparently fled to the forest when he was chased by these hunters and since then, we have no news of him. The pack of David is not the only one who has suffered fighter attacks more than a dozen pack in all the country were attacked, we find survivors everywhere in our secret basement as they have nowhere else to go ", Ryan explained to Axel. " It looks like the Horde has started hunting. They are all going to pay back what they have done, that's for sure ", Axel said to himself.
