No One Will Ever Hurt You Again I Promise-Chapter 36: The Beginning Of Everything

Still standing at the other end of the room hidden from H’s gaze, El tries to understand why this kid is covered in Theo’s blood when the latter asks him to come and help Theo stabilize himself so that he can start his healing.

Why do I have to do it, do I have to remind you, that the one who has a great ability for these things is you?

Bravael, get your ass back here immediately before I come to get you by myself, Howie told him, raising his voice a little. You always have to have something to complain about.

Ok, no need to get mad. And then it’s weird every time you call me by my first name, I feel like a child about to be lectured roughly.

Bravael, you are a child. Reminds him of Howie.

Yeah, that’s it I’m a kid, I guess you’re the adult here. he grumbled between his teeth while hurrying to join him. And him, what do we do for him?

I’m going to check on him, if he drank his blood he’s dying too, and why did he do such a thing? If he’s there, they’re probably the same species, I don’t see why... unless he wanted to kill himself. Shit, but what’s wrong with those stupid beasts?

Did he call us stupid beast down there? whispers a displeased voice up there, among the Rufus who stayed away from them, outside eavesdropping on their conversation at the door that El tore down.

Yeah, I think that’s what he just did. reply another one calmly.

What insolence, and he thinks he’s better and different, you saw what he did? He is a real sick beast, that one, and it’s us he dares to call stupids beasts. What nerve?

And, what exactly is he doing in the depths of New York? I think he is a pureblood.

Yeah, he is, have you ever seen such ferocity? I have never seen a pureblood but I have heard of their strength, their power, and their cruelty, they are ruthless when they get angry and when they fight they have nothing human in them and if this boy isn’t a pureblood, they don’t really exist, it’s just a legend.

I don’t care what he is or not, I thank, the reason that brought him here, besides he shouldn’t have even helped us but he did.

And you noticed how he controls his transformation, he fought without fully transforming, he only used his senses, his claws, his strength, and his eyes.

He’s a real pureblood. If only I was strong enough to defend myself as he does.

Shut up Ricky, we’re Rufus and he’s the big arsenal, a killing machine, and also a real-time bomb.

It’s about you they’re talking like that, it looks like you’ve made some fans and hatred people to my friend, one doesn’t work without the other, that’s what they say. It was a horrible show you put up there earlier, you know that, right?

Do you want to keep talking, or to concentrate on helping him, Howie threatened?

Bravael jumped and tried to concentrate before giving up. You just need to heal him, man, I’m not doing anything to help, even if I try to increase his life energy, he’s too weak to trigger his healing.

Besides, I think he has lost too much blood, he is much too weak for this practice. He whispers, making signs so that the curious who listen at the door do not hear them.

What are you afraid of? No one will know it’s you, no one will find out who you are, and we will say it was me. Unless there’s something else, hm?

No, it’s nothing, it’s just... I don’t think I can do it and I haven’t done this since I’ve been here. Howie stuttered while twisting his fingers which he hid behind his back from El sight.

Hey, look at me, for now, he’s with us, and he has a chance to get out of this path. Forget about all this mess and that blood, forget that he was poisoned by we don’t know what drug exactly.

And the most important thing, he is not him, you can do it, you already did it with your father, remember? Bravael tells him with a kind of tenderness that he doesn’t even know if he was him talking right now.

My father? my father, Howie resumes hesitantly

Yes, your father, it was no miracle that he survived when you attacked him, no one survives your attacks. It was you mate, I don’t know what you did but it was you. So you’re going to start over, leave the past where it is.

I don’t know what happened with my dad, I just know that... oh, maybe it was that.

Maybe it was that, what? I lay on top of my dad, I was crying and there was snot everywhere, ok, that wasn’t a pretty sight. And I’m not proud of that image of me either. When he woke up he was disgusting and my face was a mess. Howie tries to explain while the other is trying so hard not to laugh at his misery.

In the end, Bravael almost laughs out loud as he listens to Howie’s story, the perfect Howie admits he can be gross and weak at times, that’s a first, huh?

If you keep making disparaging remarks with that amused face, I swear I’ll end up unscrewing your face from your neck and throwing it in a dumpster.

No, no, we’re not going to cross that line, I was stupid to make such comments. Concentrate a bit and empty yourself, especially remember that Aike and Ayke are alive today and you need all your abilities to watch over them.

Bravael told him, taking a soft and serious voice. Hey, stop looking at me and focus on him, not my face.

Are you crying, holy shit Howie! I hate to see you like this dude, besides it’s not the time to get emotional.

El walked around the bed to join him but he stopped halfway, from his body emanated a heat similar to that of a ray of the midday sun but in small quantity. El smiled wholeheartedly and whispered. He regains confidence.

He slowly backed up to the wall behind him where he leaned his back in silence waiting for Howie to finish his job.

While doing everything they can to save Theo’s life, two betas get eaten at a feast in an abandoned house, which has a reputation for being haunted.

While doing everything they can to save Theo’s life, two betas get eaten as a feast in an abandoned house that’s rumored to be haunted.

A misshapen creature with long arms, protruding bloodshot eyes, scrawny skinny legs, a big mouth, which is as big as a black hole with huge sharp teeth, capable of tearing your skin from your bone effortlessly and engulfing a whole person, its mouth reeking of death.

Just looking at her you will see your life flash before your eyes like in a movie, so don’t even bother thinking about her claws on you because the horror is very real.

Paralyzed by the sudden appearance of the creature, the boys stopped fighting against their attacker, invaded by a sudden feeling of dread that freezes them on the spot, drops of sweat beaded their foreheads, and their legs no longer support them. they begin to tremble with fear before such a monstrosity.

Vince was the first to come out of his shock, which this new appearance caused him as he considered a way out of this house alive. because the horror he has before his eyes won’t let them get out of here alive, he feels it.

Seeing no other way than confrontation as an escape, He mustered up his courage in both hands to face the beast in front of him. he has never seen such a thing but he has no choice but to face it.

He rushed to meet the creature who began to look at him with a shade of amusement, in a leap he changed into his wolf, he caught between his teeth the ankle of the creature, who looked for him with his eyes a little clumsy because of his enormous size, before sending him wandering to the other end of the room.

The force with which the beast propelled him through the air knocked him off the balance before he could catch his breath, she was already before him in all her monstrosity.

It was then that Rigs awoke from his shock, he rushed at the creature and grabbed the menacing, disgusting arm that it was about to bring down on Vince with all claws out. surprised by the wolf’s sudden intervention, she without hesitation shook him violently like a dead branch to make him let go of her arm, but Rigs resists with all his strength, trying to give Vince time to recover from the attack.

Annoyed by the stubbornness shown by the young wolf, with the other hand that the beast was holding Vince, dropped his first prey. with a rush and a swift movement, he plunged his hand, if you can call it a hand, into Rigs’ ribcage. A howl of pain escaped his mouth and tears of pain welled up in the corners of his wolf-green eyes.

She tore Rigs’ still warm heart from his ribcage with a violent blow, in the palm of her hand between her huge clawed fingers the heart began to play its last symphony, she carried it to the level of her eyes throwing him curious glances before swallowing him in one gulp.

Vince remained pinned to the ground under the shock that caused him this scene, a howl of pain escaped from his guts, and tears of pain ran down the corner of his eyes which darkened.

In the last effort, he got up and stood on his paws red with anger, and decided not to let it go, despite the pain that tormented him in his ribs he held firm.

If he has to suffer the same fate as his friend, his brother, he will fight until he can’t take it anymore.

When he saw his wolf brother’s lifeless body fall to the ground like a puppet, he screamed to death as if being ripped apart by a power saw, because deep down that’s how he felt.

Then suddenly he felt something pierce him, and a searing pain ran through his body. He didn’t even have time to fight for his life, it was snatched from him abruptly, he closed his eyes when the creature brutally ripped his heart out. he felt his life energy and his essence leave him little by little. Then he feels nothing but emptiness, darkness, and the nothingness that enveloped him.

Theo let out a painful howl that ripped through the stillness of the falling night, and the rest of the pack followed him, the pain and pain that pierced their hearts visible, palpable, and suffocating.

Bravael covered his ears with his hands unable to bear the cries that pierced his soul but that did not help him.

As Howie fell to his knees in front of the bed Theo is lying on, he was back from the dead at the same time he felt the pain and violent death his two betas had to face. He felt it all like he was the one who suffered the whole act, and right now he only asks for one thing to die.

Rolling in a ball on himself he cried like a kid for hours unable to hold back his tears, without worrying or wondering how he could come back from this fatal issue he took. The rest of the pack went down to the basement where he was, they needed to see their alpha, they needed to feel close to him and secure.

They haven’t felt Vince and Rigs’ pain but they’ve felt all the pain Theo is in right now and they know why he’s in this state. They know that all this suffering is because they have lost two of their limbs and it is unbearable, depresses them, and makes them suffer.

Bravael went to help Howie up when the other Rufus came to join them, Howie was shaking like a leaf.

This moment of distress Rufus is going through right now was once the distress he once found himself in and for some reason, he felt every emotion that goes through each one of them, he felt their pain, he sees it, and he touches it, he breathes it.

And his memories assail him for the most beautiful, He clung to a bed very close to him and Bravael helped him to sit there.

The rest of the pack made their way to the bed where Theo was curled up, a violent spasm took over his body, Bravael looked away from the disturbing spectacle, muttering some incomprehensible words about the effect of emotion and anger.

The youngest of the wolves Ricky, the one who had spoken earlier, climbed on the bed next to Theo where he lay down on his back, resting his head against the latter.

Theo stiffened involuntarily at the contact of his body, then he relaxed and the others followed him, they sat on the floor at the foot of the bed near him, and two more sat on the bed near him. They were all equally depressed.

Howie got up and was about to head for the exit quietly to leave them alone, in their privacy. But a smell caught his attention, he stopped in the middle of the room, he hesitated a little to turn around, Bravael touched his arm, whispering to him.

What’s wrong?

He leans a little closer to El and almost whispers in her ear, I know that smell, and I’m afraid my senses are playing tricks on me.

Bravael turned to take a look at the small crying pack gathered around their alpha, after the fight earlier and the loss they just suffered had completely reduced their number, they are seven altogether now.

Oh! exclaimed the latter, I had completely forgotten about him, it seems that you have recovered all your powers man, The other boy woke up too.

Howie whirled around, almost saying out loud with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Let it be him, let it be him, please.

He jumped when he met Alfred’s shy and green gaze, an Alfred who looks younger than his age, of course, an adolescent Alfred.

A hybrid Alfred! To her astonishment, he took a step in her direction, and Alfred without hesitation almost ran to throw himself into his arms.

It’s been a long time since he met a face he knew, who could have told him that one day he would also be delighted to meet Howie’s gaze.

This boy scared the hell out of him just thinking about him. A face he finally knows, It’s only when he finds himself in his arms that he realizes what he’s doing, and Howie cleared his throat.

He pulled away from him slowly and shyly, a little embarrassed by his behavior, he doesn’t remember that he towered over him so much, did he still grow or did I shrink? he wonders, looking Howie up and down.

Howie caught his attention by clearing his throat a second time, he lifted his head to him and looked straight into his bewildering gaze.

He had the impression of taking a dip in a calm sea, but threatening and deep at the same time, of a very pronounced and assuring blue.

Indeed you are one of them, he whispers, looking away with a sulky pout.

Of course, I’m one of them my friend, Howie answers him amused by his depression, and now you too answer Howie with a grimace.

I knew something was wrong with you. Alfred answers him with the same sulky expression, he looks like a kid

Just like I knew you liked me, even though you gave me wary looks when I was too close to the boys.

How are they? Alfred hurriedly asked, raising his voice, he hurriedly put his hand over his mouth seeing the look H cast behind him while intimidating him to lower his voice. He pouted, even more, grabbing Howie’s arm and dragging him out.

Hey, take it easy my beau, I have no problem with you wanting to date him, but I refuse to see you dragging him out like he belongs to you, and who are you first?

Bravael, who had been watching them for quite a while without saying a word, thought it was time he put an end to this conversation which was starting to pop out his eyes.

He tore Howie’s arm from Alfred’s hand. Alfred gave him a look full of insinuations. He opened his mouth to give him a salacious retort, but he changed his mind. He glared at Bravael, paying him no heed as he addressed Howie. Can we talk for a moment, please? motioning him towards the exit.

Howie led the way, casting a questioning look at Bravael, who was blocking his way, the latter shifted to the side to let him pass, he met Alfred’s gaze with which he measured himself for a moment in silence before let him pass.

The three of them find themselves on the surface, where the lake shimmers with the reflection of the moon which has come out of its hiding place to illuminate the night with its yellowish light.

He continues to act like a magnet on El and he likes the place, and the presence of the moon which imposes itself majestically on the horizon gives a crazy charm to the place.

Tch, he had to be the one who found this place first, Bravael grumbled, admiring the spectacle before his eyes.

He picked up a flat pebble and tossed it onto the calm, peaceful surface of the water, and watched it bounce before sinking.

The wolves who brought Vince and Rigs back to the creature witnessed the violence in which these young wolves died.

Petrified by the spectacle they had to attend, took their legs around their necks like cowards taking advantage of the massacre of the other two to sneak out of the house, leaving behind them an unnamed carnage.

This creature is without saying, the most incongruous thing they had to see in their lives. this thing that appeared in front of them suddenly is the most horrible thing they had the misfortune to see.

They only caught their breath once they felt safe and far from this inexplicable madness.

Holy shit! What was that thing one of them shouted as he caught his breath?

Dude, I don’t know, Barosy just asked me to take them back there and wait for him, I thought we were going to find him, not that filthy, disgusting thing. We almost stayed there too.

Why did he do that? I thought he just wanted to scare them off so their alpha could stop stealing his best parts when he comes to the club.

It was awful man, no one should die like this. Another intervenes, eyes misted with tears.

You’re not going to cry for those arrogant, showy, childish little wolves, are you? Because of them we almost lost our popularity at the club. girls and boys rush to their table like ants at the sight of sugar.

As long as they haven’t arrived yet nothing moved, the atmosphere at the club is suffocating, and people are still looking towards the entrance, we almost didn’t exist because of them.

They stole our popularity, our one-night stands, they took everything from us. So good riddance, well done for them.

Aren’t you serious here? It was fucking teenagers, children for fuck’s sake, did you see the scene? It doesn’t matter to you to see them die like this.

If only I knew, I would never have taken part in this banal and stupid little revenge.

And then what was this crap? Damn it, shouted the fourth of them, who had crouched down with a gasp.

You are just kids! you are much too sensitive for these kinds of things, I understand you. But you will learn later that we must be respected, our territory remains ours regardless of the circumstances and no one must step on our toes. And even less this little pack came out of nowhere.

A cool and disorienting breath of wind passed through their midst which made them shudder and give them goosebumps, they gave each other questioning glances as they realized where they were.

What the hell is this? Shouted the fourth once more, throwing panicked glances around him. What is that...

But what are we doing here? What the fuck is this again? We weren’t down the street from this place, how did we get back here?

So, was it true, that this place is cursed? We shouldn’t come here, why did Barosy send us here?

Something lightning-fast starts running around them in a circle, causing the four of them to stand back to back each on the defensive ready to attack whatever this thing that wants to scare them away, by playing tricks on them.

Show yourself, if you had the guts to threaten the first, who gathered all his strength to show that he was not afraid. Stop your nonsense Sun, ordered the fourth, fists in fighting position.

You don’t have to tell him what to do in such a situation, everyone has to manage their fear, didn’t you say it was good for the others? I believe it’s our turn now. So good riddance intervenes the fourth who already begins to cry silently.

He didn’t have time to finish his sentence when something they couldn’t make out took hold of him, and a second later his body was lying on the ground without his head.

A total panic seized them at the sight of the inert body of their buddy...

We are damned! Whispered the fourth, losing all hope of getting out of here alive.
