Third Person POV

Red. Orange. Yellow. The trio of bright and vibrant colors, yet also the colors of scorching destruction. The conflagration raged on with its satiety dependent on the earth beneath the werewolf territory. It would not stop until green becomes black and wood becomes ash. Its demolition and violence were on par with its caster, an emotionless juggernaut on a mission to capture the woman who escaped him.

Cerberus‘ unhesitant march echoed amongst the cataclysmic air of fire crackles and helpless screaming. With stomps that shook the roots of the burning trees, he continued forward, flexing his large fingers, yearning for a neck to squeeze. A monster in his own right. It didn’t take long to track down the avatar.

The avatar. The one his Lord desires more than diamonds.

“Stop at nothing to bring her to me. Allow Zircon Moon to burn to ash, for it has been lucky to live for this long. Burn it all. Kill them all. Let nothing stop you.”

His Lord’s word was law. What he wants, he shall have. Blockages of copious black smoke didn’t stop his besetting trek, he passed right through, unfazed until the packhouse was in the line of sight.

Cerberus was ready for ruin.

Brave and selfless. Two words to describe the pack members who helped put out the flames threatening their livelihoods. Buckets, hoses, anything that could connect and hold water is used to stop the inferno.

Yet, the flames fought back hard.

The ranked wolves and warriors worked tirelessly to save their land. Dancing red and orange continued to spread uninhibited, ignoring the very lives it tried to take. The earth cried underneath scorching black, slowly dying as it painted the air with strokes of billowing obsidian black.

‘How could this have happened? Why did this happen?‘ Kiya asked herself as she directed people to the underground bunker in paths untouched by fire. Understanding their Luna wishes to protect them, they ran as fast as they could to safety. As much as the woman wanted to deny that she was their Luna, internal torment preoccupies her mind.

She felt responsible for the chaos. Horrible attacks began springing out of the woodworks as soon as she came. Was this fate’s way of telling her to leave? Though she didn’t voice it, she felt responsible of the danger. It squeezed her heart like a boa constrictor preparing its prey for death. What was next after the fire? Would the chaos stop if she left? So many questions with no answers and the frustration contorted her flawless, brown face.

Just when she thought things couldn’t get any worse, that’s when she heard it.

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

The Abduction

“Oh, no…” Phoebe’s sweet, melodious voice shook with trepidation. Kiya’s eyes darted to her witch friend, unable to look past her shaking knees. Her pale skin got impossibly paler and sweat, unknown from her or the boiling heat, clung to her hair and skin. “Cerberus is here!”

Kiya’s cyes widened in shock. How did he find his way here? Neron and she made sure he lost their trail before they drove back home. Guilt was a monster that took pleasure in gobbling her heart, tugging violently at the bicuspid strings. She felt responsible. Instead of ensuring Zircon Moon’s safety, she brought evil to them unknowingly.

The stomps continued and before long, Cerberus showed himself, his skyscraper, bulking body marching through the flame–ridden woodlands with raw evil and determination pulsating through his body. Ranked wolves and warriors stared horrified and agape at the behemoth, seeing nothing like it before. It was a beast on two feet, height rivaling the biggest of Alphas.

Neron growled, hateful of the flawless white skin of Cerberus. As if Onyx’s claws never touched him. That infuriated the Alpha the most, the threat he thought he eliminated came for more and it trespassed on his territory.
