After will ended the call with Alice, he pocketed his phone, with different thoughts going through his mind. He noticed the tension and distance growing between them. He loves her but this new life he was now involved in is now an obstruction between them.
He finally made up his mind to resolve everything, once he learns control. He turned around to look at the people gathered around a bonfire, the people he will be calling family from now on or better still his pack.
It still surprises, him how this whole pack thing isn't freaking him out, he feels that this is exactly where he belongs, he considered any of them that is surrounding that bonfire his family member, this should be considered weird or maddening, but his all body, mind and soul feels that this is all natural.
He looked up at the half moon in the sky, he felt as if the moon was strengthening him and unknowingly a smile slowly crept on his face.
Ever since the night he was bitten, he has grown attached to the moon and always looked forward to the nights.
" Hey will, is time". A black man with dreadlocks called his attention. He could remember that he was called Sam.
With steady steps, he walked towards the bon fire, to the group of five males and three females. With him joining the group they were now a total number of 9.
A huge man sat much closer to the fire on the bare ground. He had an air of mystery around him and the rest people's bodies subconsciously showed reverence.
The Man's name is Abel and he is the alpha of the lunar pack.
Will was nudged forward to sit facing him.
" Take off your shirt Will". Abel commanded calmly. Which will did. Will then nodded at him and readied himself for the pain to come.
A tong with a the shape of circle at the tip was pulled out from the fire by Abel, quickly Sam and Jacob another member of the pack held him down.
The tong was slowly pressed on his left side chest and once again the quietness of the night was broken by his loud screams.
An hour later, will is still standing by the edge of a cliff shirtless staring ahead. The tong burn has clearly healed and what could be seen was just a black circle in the place where the burn marks were supposed to be. Few minutes later, Sam the only black guy in the pack came to join him.
'So what now?
Will asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Now you are my family ". Sam chuckled and answered.
"That's it?, I mean that's how he goes around turning people and enlarging the family.
"Not exactly ". The whole supernatural world is on edge, since after what happened ten years ago. Many alphas were buried in the destruction and the werewolf community has drastically declined. We fear that the vampires our natural enemies may use this opportunity to drive the werewolves into extinction.
"Wait a minute", you mean vampires are also real? How many creatures are in existence?Will asked clearly surprised.
" Too many ". He answered vaguely. Abel never truly liked turning people, but words has gone out that the vampires are getting busy turning new borns and there may be a war coming.
" So you are saying that am just a recruited soldier? Before this impending war comes what I my suppose to be doing then". Sam asked confused.
"Simple, you learn how to fight and use your abilities". But I advise you stay away from your girl this few days before you mistakenly rip out her jugular. Sam winked.
' I can never do that to Alice'. Will shook his head at the thought.
" You may not have a choice at the matter, but don't worry I will teach you everything I know and how to learn control. First write your name down. Sam pointed at the rocky cliff, which when looked at closely different names can be seen on it.
"Will noticing the names, started looking around.
'What are you looking for? Sam questioned.
"A piece of rock to write my name". Will replied with an obvious expression on his face.
" Just use your claws man". Sam answered with his signature chuckling following.
" I still don't know how to bring them out willingly "
Just will it and it will happen. Sam directed.
Will then took a deep breath and focused on his right hand and after a few minutes, his nails started extending into razor sharp claws.
