*His story

I'll be narrating Hunter's past. Just like a short story.

       Enjoy!!!

"And Mr Hare said to the elephant, 'Am not hungry now but I will be tomorrow,' "

Elizabeth,Jekiel's wife read a bed time story to her little 5 year old daughter ,Estacita. Hunter played with his trucks flying them over his bed and making car crush noises with his mouth until..they had a muffled bang then a thud on the floor.

Elizabeth's instincts jerked as she slowly stood up from Estacita's bed heading quietly to the door.

"Shhh!" She whispered to her terrified children. Hunter held his sister beside his bed in protection watching their mother open the door carefully

"Jekiel... Agh!" Somebody grabbed her

"Mom!!!" Both kids plunged towards her

"Get lost bugs!" A man appeared into the room thrusting Estacita towards the floor. She hit her head on the bed post and passed out

"Cita!!" Hunter reached out for her only to be held back by another strong man

"No,lemmi go! Mom!!" He writhed

"Shhh,its going to be okay. Daddy will come help us," Elizabeth assured him still in the motionless grip of the man behind her

"Oh Mrs Stark. You can't promise a child protection from a dead man," the man who seemed to be the leader shoved a cloth in her mouth as her eyes went wide in realisation, they killed her man....

"Hunter Manchester Stark," the man began slowly pacing the room. "Quite a lovely name for a family about to go extinct,"

"What d'you mean?"Hunter struggled against the man holding him

" I don't need to explain that,do I?" He chuckles then frowns suddenly "get him in position,"

Hunter was held tighter,his face in position to stare at his bonded mother. He cried so with fright not knowing what to do.

"This is what happens when you mess with other people. And with you out of the way,our boss can have all this,too unfortunate you'll not be here to congratulate him for helping you with the burden,"

Elizabeth screamed against the cloth in her mouth. She looked at her son wondering why fate had to stab them so early in life. They had not even learnt about their abilities yet...

"No!!" Hunter's cry came out ear piercing when his mother was stabbed suddenly. Her body split through with a knife  tearing her without mercy in front of him some of the blood squirting onto his face.

"Mom! Mom!" He cried trying to be freed from the hold

The clouds darkened and the moon crested on the horizon. Its full spherical shape shinning across the trees around the house.

"Its a full moon!" One of them shouted

"Oh,shit! We lost track of time. Let's go!"

"What about the kids?"

"Just leave 'em here. They won't turn yet,they're still young and they'll die anyway."

Hunter crawled over to his mother's contorted self. Her eyes, nose,ears and mouth oozed blood. He cried staring at her,he had no one now. He sat next to her body and cried in agony....

Thick clouds brushed over the moon and it darkened taking full effect of the weather.

"Ah!" Hunter held his chest feeling a strong sting pierce through him. Then another and another until he couldn't bare with him anymore.
He knelt groaning with pain,his breath running stiff and cut. He glanced at Estacita's stun body then to his mom's and a thick cry more like a roar escaped him

His back arched,his ribs and bones expanding fiercely through his pale skin.
"Ahh!" He tore his shirt off and got on all fours,his claws growing from his nails. His voice coming out as a roar now while the dark fur covered his skin.

Hunter stood in his huge wolf form. Confused and scared. His eyes glinted meeting his mother's body. just then,all the scenes replayed in his mind,the men's scents hit his nostrils with less effort and through the large window,he jumped out racing into the woods of the estate.

"Whoah!!" One of the men gasped when Hunter appeared in front of them

"A black breed!" The leader pushed passed his men to take a glance at Hunter

"Look at his eyes," another pointed "Is he...

"An alpha? Obviously. Imagine him being in our pack," the leader smirked

"But the boss would kill him. He wants to be the only alpha lord left."

"The boss is no alpha. He just thinks he is," the leader walked towards to Hunter "Its okay,we're your family," he reached his hand out to touch Hunter but caught his teeth instead

"Ahh! He...he bit me,"

Hunter tore his arm off,then his legs and head last throwing it far behind him.
"No,bad alpha bad....aghhh!"
He tore each and everyone of them bit by bit until they were only useless chunks of meat.

The moon cleared out back to its normal form. Hunter groaned falling to the ground stun.

              ™
Maley Manchester,Kyler's sister drove into the Stark's drive way up onto the porch slowly. She visited Jekiel and Jordileo,her two nephews each month and this time she was at Jekiel's. Maley never missed to see her grandchildren. After,Kyler her sister had died, Maley decided to look after her family. Kyler had married into the Stark family. The most noble amongst the werewolves families.  She walked out of the car slowly wondering why the house was quiet.

The kids always knew when she was coming but this time she decided to make a surprise entry. Pushing the already open door and walking inside,her smell buds caught a whiff of blood within the house.

"Jekiel, Elizabeth! Hunt,Cita!!!" She called looking around. Heading up stairs to where the blood scent was,she stopped in front of Jekiel's office door

"Ahh!" She gasped when she saw his body parts allover the floor. "My God! Who would do this?" She held her chest
Walking out,she walked weakly to the kids' room

"No no no! Elizabeth," she knelt beside her body and cried. Estacita switched slightly taking her attention

"Estacita," she reached for her and checked for life. A sigh escaped her when she felt her breath. "Hunter?" She called out looking around, her eyes met his torn night shirt. She held it I n her hands and sniffed it.

"Oh shit!" She cursed "That explains the dark moon. He's... an alpha!" She exclaimed in surprise.

Alphas had the ability to change at any stage given a hectic condition that triggered the beast in them and this...this surely triggered his beast and it wasn't going to be easy to tame him. Perhaps his mate would...

Maley carried Estacita out to her as she closed the back door of her car,she sniffed him out. Looking around, she saw him

"Oh God! Hunter!"

"Granny!" He ran towards her,"granny, they killed them... He cried against her chest in pain only covered in a torn shirt.

"Shhh! Am here now. Cita  is safe. I'll take care of you." She soothed him

"Why? Why did those men kill them?" He asked looking at her. Maley's eyes went wide when she  noticed the dried blood on the side of his mouth.

"Hunter,is this....blood?" She brushed her thumb against the dry stain

"I couldn't help it,granny." He stepped away from her "Am a monster,"

"No no, you're not, Hunt those men who killed your parents are...

" No! I killed them too. Am a monster too," a tear slide down his face

"Am sorry for this...

Maley hit Hunter's neck with the side of her palm and he fell stun into her hands.

" I'll keep an eye on them Jekiel, " she whispered staring at the sky then pecked his fore head.
