The year 2900, Newberry, Michigan.

The fog has already surrounded the city, as the thunder threatened to fall at any time. It seemed as if darkness was drawing closer.

There were bodies, and body organs scattered on the road. Some people were screaming in agony. Some were in some kind of animal form, biting slicing, and torturing humans. This night seemed endless.

Wearing a black hood, skinny jeans a tee shirt, and leather boots, Aiden Rey; the Alpha of Crystal Claw Pack, walked slowly between and on the bodies that were scattered on the floor.

He continued to walk towards a man who seems to be in his 50s, with a lean face, and a tight net of wrinkles at the corners of his mouth and eyes.

The man was wearing an elegant suit, which was, alas, stained with blood.

As soon as he saw Aiden, he hid his face with both hands, trying to back away from him.

Boom!

The lightning suddenly strikes accompanied by a growling thunder.

Aiden's face was more perceivable then. Drawing a dangerously psychopathic smirk, he revealed his sharp shining teeth.

“ Here we meet again dear Mayor Davis Hannon ! “, Aiden shouted.

“Pl... please ... let me go! I’m sorry for what happened, I swear! I didn't know that it would go that far! Please ask your pack to stop the carnage!”

The old mayor was begging Aiden to spare his life.

“ You’re sorry? For what? You were assigned to protect this town, and look what you’ve harvested! Doing all this because of your thirst for money and power! My pack and I were living peacefully near the Tahquamenon Falls until you ordered your men to come and attack us !?Do you know how many families have lost their lives there? Do you know how many cubs will leave without any paternal or maternal figure? I guess no! So, I won’t ask my wolves to stop! You, humans, you have to pay for what you did! I won’t spare anyone! I won’t be done until there are only houses left here! “, Aiden growled.

“ No... no please Alpha Aiden...please spare my life ... I have a wife and children to take care of... please...,” the man got down on his knees and begged Aiden.

“ You should have thought about it earlier ... it's too late now... “

Aiden put his hand around the man’s throat, for him to get up. He then raised his other hand, which slowly transformed revealing his claws. He tightened his grip until the mans’ face went purple. His eyes narrowed as he saw Aiden’s sharp claws coming in his direction.

Splasssssssh!

The man’s head fell on the ground, bouncing, while his body was pissing blood like a broken water pipe. The body finally collapsed.

Aiden smirked with satisfaction. He then walked further, walking on the dead bodies, and admiring his masterpiece. He was so satisfied. The humans didn’t have to mess with his pack. HIS family! He wishes that they’d learned from that lesson.

He then snapped his fingers thrice, and as soon as he did this, a pack of wolves ran at his feet.

Fresh blood was still dripping from his claws, and one of his wolves licked it thoroughly.

“Easy boys ... easy... We’re done now! I hope that those bastards have learned their lessons! You can take back your human appearance if you want. Now let’s pack up and go! Call the others, for, we shall shift to another habitat for a while! “

The wolves obeyed and went howling. Some still ran in their wolf appearance, while others ran in their human appearance.

Aiden was about to go too, when he heard a baby cry, from far away.

Those cries were like a sweet melody that tempted his ears. It was as if that child was calling him.

He sniffed everywhere, turning the dead bodies to the other side, to see if that child hasn’t been stuck under.

A little bit further, he found a woman lying on a veranda, crying, with a baby in her arms.

There was also a man lying next to them and he was bleeding in the neck.

Upon seeing Aiden, she begged for help.

“Please Sir .... please help me ... he’s been bitten, and I’m here alone with my daughter who won’t stop weeping ! “, she said, desperately.

“ You didn’t say ‘ our daughter ‘ but ‘ my daughter ‘ instead. So, he’s not the father ?”, Aiden asked.

He removed his hood and admired the cute baby. His handsome figures were distinguishable because of the light, on the veranda. His greyish-green eye was as cold as that atmosphere during that night. He had a perfect jawline, with a pale, clear face. His black hair seemed covering his face a little bit. He looked like a Greek God.

“Please Hansy... leave me here, I deserve to die ... go and see if your husband is still alive ...please do this for your child .. “, the man said to the lady.

“I don’t care about that stupid man... I want to stay with you Royce...

saying to Aiden

Please, help me find someone who can take him to the hospital !”

“Adultery is sin.”, Aiden said, while slowly walking around.

“What the fuck !? Who are you to judge the life I live, huh? Fuck off !”, The lady shouted with anger.

“ Hansy Belle, right? “, Aiden said with a smile.

“How do you know me ? “, Hansy ‘s eyes widened.

“I know everything about everyone in this town. Except, for this cute little flower that you have here. What’s her name ?”

“ Her... her name is Aria ... she’s only two days old ...”, Hansy said, with trembling lips.

The man who was bleeding suddenly fainted. Aiden looked at him as if it didn’t matter whether he lived or not. He was only attracted to this child. How can such a delicate and fragile little being, be able to catch the attention of an Alpha?

“So, you’d prefer to save your lover, instead of your husband ?”, he asked Hansy.

“I don’t care about this brute, don’t love him! Oh no... if we don’t do something now, Royce is going to die! “, Hansy shouted.

Aiden was somehow lost in his thoughts for about a few seconds. He didn’t want to help humans, but he didn’t have any choice if he wanted to know more about that child.

“ The Alpha is the most powerful wolf of the pack. He draws his energy from every wolf, as well as distributes the surplus of energy to them. If your lover drinks the Alpha’s blood, he’ll be saved . “, Aiden suggested.

“What? Where will I find that jock of Alpha? “

“That jock, dear Mrs. Hansy Belle, is actually in front of you!”, Aiden sat on his legs, while giving her a dangerous smirk. He then got his claws out, and shove them in front of her eyes.

She looked petrified. She was trying to escape when Aiden caught her hand.

“I’m not going to hurt you. But if I save him, then there’ll be a price to pay. “

“ What.... what do you want? I don’t have money, I don’t have anything! You, monsters, you’ve destroyed our city ! “

, Hansy shouted, with a trembling voice.

“ What I want, is much more precious than any money.

Pointing at the baby

Her. “

“No way, I’ll not give you my child! She’s a baby! Aren’t you ashamed? Keep dreaming !”

“ I don’t want your child now, but when she’ll become an adult, she’ll have to be mine. Accept it, and our deal is sealed.”

Aiden got a dagger from his pocket and sliced his palm. He then hovered his bleeding hand over Royce’s mouth. The bite he had in the neck started to heal slowly.

Hansy was amazed!

That man didn’t lie!

He was the Alpha!

Aiden then removed his hand and drew a fierce look towards Hansy.

“Please, don’t stop! Heal him please !”, Hansy begged.

“The child !”, Aiden shouted.

Hansy hesitated before handing him the child. He held her in one hand and hovered his bleeding hand over her cute little mouth. She drank it as if it was milk.

“What the fuck are you doing? “, Hansy asked.

“ Merging with her mind and soul, in other words, marking her as mine !”

He then gave the baby back to Hansy and continued to honor his deal by giving his blood to Royce.

When he finished, he wiped his hand with a handkerchief that was in his pockets.

“Wha... what will happen to them? “, Hansy asked.

“Well, your lover will have some kind of hallucinations which will last for almost three days. And for the little flower, well nothing. Hmmm... except a little scar; like a birthmark, on her arm. I don’t know if it’d be the right, or left one. An “ A “, which stands for Aiden. So, don’t you dare hide from me because I’ll find you wherever you are? Your daughter and, we’re linked now! I’ll be going for now, but one day I’ll be back, to take what belongs to me !”, Aiden shouted.

“ Why would you do that to such an innocent child ... ?”

“ That’s the price to pay when you make a deal with the devil !”
