Chapter 1: Prologue

A man ran across the field covered in blood and ash. With determination in his eyes he stared forward as he dashed through Screams and howls laced with pain and anguish echoing all around him.

He ran past shadow figures wielding weapons of darkness against wolves with jaws full of razor sharp canines and paws full of claws in the heat of war.

He saw in the distance a white wolf swallowed whole by flames from the bony hands of a figure in a black Cloak.

"Lana!" He screamed seeing his mate burn to nothing right before his eyes. He felt their bond erase like it never existed leaving nothing but steel-cold loneliness. Rage filled the gap, coating his soul with furry. Igniting the monster deep within him. The beast of lethal vengeance trashed in his mind begging to be unleashed.

"They said you have power, I can see that those were nothing but rumors. you are just a man hiding behind an army of fur coats! Master will be pleased once I erase you from Life and death!" The cloaked figure said with laughter in his tone. His hands went around in circles creating a growing orb of darkness.

The alpha stood exhaling smoke from his nostrils as his eyes came alive in a fiery red glow.

There was nothing left for him. His pack slaughtered and his mate gone. He knew there and then that the war was lost and there was nothing left to hold on to.

The cloaked figure sent the ball on it's way watching as it turned everything in its path to burning cinders.

The alpha let go, levitating off the ground with arms stretched out. Cracks in his skin glowed fiery red as fire boiled within him. He pushed, releasing a blast of flames that spread like a budding flower with a boom, It took what ever it touched into its embrace going a mile in a second, it scorched the field and everything in its radius to nothing but burnt soil. Abruptly, the flames stopped in their tracks as if conscious to know it had destroyed everything living for miles. It snapped, folding back in on itself, shrinking back into it's source. All that was left after was a naked man kneeling in the middle of a crater..

He screamed trying to push out the pain in his heart but it still sat there. A permanent scar deep in his soul that can never be healed.

"By Ash and Dust I swear to destroy you.. I shall be your end Erebus!" His eyes turned glossy and he fell to the ground..
