Otto pov: shouts from a building behind ours woke me up. I walked to my tiny kitchen and looked out the window. Police officers were gathered around a room, as I observed. I hurriedly put on a white t-shirt and went over to see what was happening.I squeezed my muscular body through the crowd, I saw blood flowing out of the door. It was Dario's blood. He was lying dead on his bed with a thick scratch all over his body. He was still in a police uniform. I believe he perished while battling an entity that was not a person.To conduct an autopsy, we transported the body to the police lab. My telephone rang. I received a call from Konrad. He gave me the location of his hidden house key and requested I bring him some money he kept in his room.I went outside the hospital. Although I believe I am older than Konrad in age, he is my superior in police rank since military law requires that we submit to our superiors. I went straight to the location he had directed me to after unlocking
Aina Pov:Everything happens so quickly; it will be the wedding day on Saturday. My attempts to sabotage the wedding have all failed." Are you ready?" Aunt Ella asked. She skipped work today ( Friday) just to prepare for the wedding ceremony. We are going to visit the Konrad family today. I pack my hair to one side of my face and paint my lips red. I put on a pink gown. The Konrad family has sent a limousine to pick us up. The car horn sounded. I went to the window to see as the automobile horn sounded. The limousine was standing outside, ready for me. The car's body was white with red flowers painted on it.My Aunt Ella and I walked out to meet them. A man open the car door for us and we both entered the car." You look so beautiful. " Everyone in the car exclaimed. I think they are all family members and friends of Konrad. We traveled for almost four hours before arriving at the Konrad family home. The residence, or should I say mansion, had the appearance of a heavenly for
Aina pov:I wanted to leave the altar, but I was held by Konrad " In this family, we don't run away from fight," He said.I could see all the Konrad sisters and some family members were present, they had not left like others.I could also see all of them holding a red necklace in their right hand. Out of the shadows came a big brown wolf running toward us. My heart beat in fear. I saw no fear in Konrad's eyes. I watched as Konrad and others cut off their necklaces and thousands of beads came bouncing on the floor.Everyone quickly transformed into a wolf except I who stood and watched. Konrad had left me alone at the altar, running gallantly to face the wolf. I bent down and hid at the back of the altar. I peeped to see the violent battle. Some smaller wolf I suspect to be Konrad's sister's sister has climbed over the brown wolf's body, they tried to suppress it by bitting over his body.I watched how the smaller wolf bit all over the brown wolf's body. The brown wolf shook its b
Otto Pov:Every time I remember the incident, it gives me joy in my heart. Yes, I have been humiliated in front of the human I loved, but at least I was able to stop the wedding ceremony. I could remember everything. I was not alone that day. I could see some strange beings attacking the wedding ceremony. I don't know what those beings came for, but they too contributed to the disruption of the wedding. I hope Aina is safe in the hands of those beasts. I hope she is brave enough. I felt regret flow through my mind. I could have gone with her while she left me on the floor.I checked to see if my wounds had healed, so I got down from my bed. I walked to the Konrad room, it was locked. I try to recall if anyone saw Me change into a wolf on that day.My thoughts were interrupted by the news broadcast on television. I sat down in my bed and watched the news. I expect them to broadcast the violent clashes that happen between the shapeshifter and the werewolf, but nothing of such was said
Aina povI sat on a wooden chair in the sitting room, reminiscing on the blunders that happened last week. Of course, it was my wedding. It went unexpectedly the way I expected. I am glad I don't get married to that beast. Whoever those shapeshifters or whatever they call themselves save my destiny, now I am alone. I haven't heard from aunt Ella, I left her in that dungeon they call a castle.I heard a knock at the door, I think it must be friends of aunt Ella at her workplace. I stood up to check who it was. " Aina!, where have you done.' I tried to hug aunt Ella but she bluntly refused. " You should have left like that." " I left for the safety of myself, you know those creatures could hit me." I walk through the house, dodging an eye gaze from aunt Ella. "I can't get married to a family that runs on sacristy, I don't even know who they are." I raised my voice high in anger. " You just rule the chance to make your family great. " " don't be like your mother."" What
Aina pov Barely a month after the disaster called the wedding, Aunt Ella brought the talks about marriage to me. Will she ever let me rest? "Aina, have you met a drake?" She said one hot afternoon. " Who is drake?" " He is the son of canos."" Here we go again, you want to be betrothed to another strange family!."" Why can't I choose for myself ?" I asked. I force myself to control my emotions. I don't want to let the event that happened last month with aunt Ella repeat itself. " Everyone knows the evils committed by canos " That is why he was kept in prison to rot.""The government formed a truce with canos, he will soon be free." Aunt Ella said defensively. She went to the kitchen to check the meal she was cooking. " Drake Canos is a businessman. He will give you all the love and time you wish for in this world." Aunt Ella's voice echoes from the kitchen as the aroma of the meal smells throughout the room." I don't care, just let me choose for myself.""Let me follow my h
Otto pov: I leaned against the rough brick wall and let my thoughts drift back to my career. I remember the excitement and adrenaline of last month's night shift, the thrill of chasing down a suspect, and the satisfaction of making my first arrest, all this with Lorenzo and Agnes (our female partner on my side) The countless nights spent patrolling the streets, responding to domestic disturbances and drug busts, had taken their toll.Yet, as we stood guard on this quiet night, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. The factory building was an old relic from another time, long since abandoned by its owners.But for me, it represented something more than just a dilapidated structure. It was a symbol of the city's past, a testament to the hard work and industry that had built it.I closed my eyes and let the memories come flooding back. I remember the nights spent patrolling the docks, watching the cargo ships come and go. I remember the long hours spent on stakeouts, waiting for the r
Aina pov:Today is my birthday. I know it is going to be a very boring day for me because I have to report to work today. I told no one except Otto about my birthday.I put on a dirndl( traditional German dress) I prepared custard for breakfast for myself and my aunt Ella. I just wanted to leave home quickly. My plans for today were to report to work and after that, I would visit the river Elbe and swim for as many hours as I love."Take care dear." Aunt Ella hugged me." I hope you will be at home when I am back," I asked. " I may not, I have to visit the Canostus family. ""For what !?" I asked my aunt. I suspected she was planning an arranged marriage for me again. " You don't even let me finish, Aina." I could see her face saddened in worry." Drake's sister is hurt and needs medical attention, so I have to visit her." "Is there anything you want to tell me, Aina?" Aunt Ella asked as she used a small rag to clean her mouth."Nothing aunt. " I hugged her and walked out of the
