Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Dylan had been searching for a way out but the possible entrances and exits in the Northleaf Timberland Forest were surrounded by the wolfbanes so he couldn't pass through nor proceed further.

He kept on running until he was forced to climb the Northleaf Mountain and there… he was cornered by the assassins at the edge of the cliff.

He decided to fight back but who would have thought that aside from the witches, werewolves, and hunters, there was another creature hiding in the shadow, just waiting for the right opportunity to strike?

He jumped forward to charge in and launch an attack against his opponents only to be thrown back after getting shot by a crossbow.

Dylan's body was now being pulled by the gravity as he just fell off the cliff with a silver arrow buried in his chest. He was going down so fast from an estimated height of 200 feet while he was transforming back to his human form.

He felt a sharp wrench of pain in his chest, making him weaker– drained and exhausted. His hands clamored wildly for non-existent handles, and his last thoughts were of the purpose for coming here in the human world.

'Is this truly my end? I still need to find my twin sister… Stella.' Dylan muttered to himself while staring at the night sky.

Gushing air raced throughout his whole body and it whistled in his ears. From his peripheral vision, he could see that the river getting closer and closer by the second.

Dylan, heart leaping, breath speeding, managed to force his eyes shut, bracing for impact. He was powerless versus gravity. He's a werewolf, not a vampire so he couldn't fly!

Splash!

His body submerged in the cold water of the river, going deeper. Seconds later, he found it harder to breathe, almost to the point of having been denied the access to oxygen. He started to feel drowsy, slowly losing his consciousness.

'Stella… my sister…'

Meanwhile, at the top of the cliff, the werewolves, witches, and human hunters were still wondering about the identity of the person who shot the arrow.

He was wearing a cloak and a mask, his face not yet visible to them. He was now walking towards them, still holding the crossbow in his right hand.

The werewolves immediately dropped on a crouching position while lowering their heads as they finally recognized the cloaked man before them. It was their Alpha– Cedric Morgan!

A surprise look could be seen in the eyes of the Witches, Wizards, and Hunters the moment he revealed his face to them. They didn't expect that Alpha Cedric would come tonight personally. They were not informed about this.

It seemed that Alpha Cedric wanted to make sure that everything would go smoothly tonight so he came here personally to help the team.

It was too risky but he took a gamble, hoping that the mission would succeed.

"What are you waiting for? Go and confirm if he is dead!" Cedric roared to his fellow werewolves.

He wanted to make sure that Dylan would no longer pose a threat to his plan. He must die tonight at all costs!

The werewolves moved quickly, obeying Cedric's order. The running paws could be heard as the werewolves descended from the mountain going to the river.

Cedric traced his steps toward the edge of the cliff. From his position on the clifftop, he had a good view of the river underneath.

But he could no longer see Dylan's body nor smell his scent. It might have been washed away by the flowing water.

'Dylan Silvano… hope we don't meet again. This is just the start… I will soon achieve my goal.'

His golden yellow eyes glowed in the dark as his lips curled up into a sardonic smile.

Cedric dispatched the Witches and the Hunters to remove the wolfbanes surrounding the Northleaf Timberland Forest so that the other werewolves could pass through the forest.

Wolfbanes were no longer needed as he was certain that Dylan could not get that far even if he survived that fall. He was already weakened and a silver arrow pierced his heart. He had a low chance of survival. But he still wanted to see his dead body.

After giving everyone his last instruction, Cedric went to meet Ronan and his guard who were hiding in the giant rock near the Northern Gate Portal.

With his speed and agility, he reached their hiding spot in no time. He noticed that the portal was already closed.

"Ronan, it is safe now. Come out," Cedric said in his domineering tone.

Ronan and his guard stepped forward, revealing themselves to Cedric. There was a look of relief on Ronan's face. Fortunately, the battle between those supernatural beings didn't last long.

"How is it? Did you succeed in killing the werewolf prince?" Ronan asked him expectantly, his eyes darted everywhere, surveying the area.

"I dispatched my team to confirm his death. We will hear from them soon. For now, let's leave the forest," said Cedric, motioning Ronan and his guard to follow him.

Ronan just nodded his head. That's what he wanted to do. He was dying to leave that dark forest as soon as possible. Just watching those creatures fighting each other was enough to frighten him. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

The awful truth that these creatures were superior to humans and that they could kill someone in just one snap of their fingers was beginning to dawn on him.

Ronan tightened his grip on the magic stone in his hand. He was so glad that he was a gatekeeper. At least he had some protection against these dangerous creatures.

*****

On the riverbank, stood a man who was watching the unconscious man lying on the ground. His clothes were all wet as he was the one who saved the other person from drowning.

He shook his head helplessly while clicking his tongue. "Poor guy. Are you also betrayed by people close to you? Hmm… Betrayed by your own kind?"

Growl!

The man turned around only to see four werewolves snarling at him, getting ready to attack him.

"Oh, Hello old friends, wanna have some fun tonight?" Kira asked, a devilish grin flashing on his face. His scarlet eyes shone brightly in the dark as he stared at them with a deathly glare.
