Chapter Twenty-Eight

Alessandro’s POV

Emptiness

All I feel is emptiness.

Well I wouldn't exactly call it feeling since I no longer have access to my emotions. Its like I'm having

an out of body experience just watching my life unfold before my eyes. Never had I ever imagined

this would happen, I lost everything. My mom, my family, my emotions, my sanity and lastly my

body.

6 months ago the woman at the center of my world, my mother, died in my arms. I will never see

her beautiful hazel eyes again, I'll never hear her gentle soothing voice, she'll never get to watch me

grow up and become the man she wanted me to be, I'll never get to be that person now. I won't be

able to fulfill my dreams and I won't be a person who my mate will be proud of and be able to love,

it was all ripped from me in a split second by one man, Kevin Black.

On that day when my mother took her last breath in my arms, as I felt that unknown beast inside of

me take control I vowed to myself that I will find that man and I will introduce him to a world of

pain the likes of which he has never experienced, he will beg me for death and when he does I'll

give him that hope only to smash it infront his face like a piece of glass. It is with that vow, that

blood oath, that promise i made to my mother and myself that I plunged into darkest abyss of my

soul and let out the beast that had been caged within me for so long. That blood thirsty monster

who thrives on the lust of blood, hatred and anger. All those things occupy my heart and I offered

them to it giving up the last piece of humanity I had left in order to get my revenge.

I have been tracking Kevin for months now but every time I get close enough he slips out of my

grasp. He's nothing but a snake slithering around destroying people's life just like he did mine, but I

refuse to let him go this time because I will not stop until I get my hands on him even if i have to kill

him the moment I get my hands on him, although I'd prefer to torture him before I send him off to

hell.

I know uncle Michael has been searching for me as well as the council, each with different reasons.

As much as I love my uncle and grandpa I can't go home in fact I no longer have a home, afterall a

home is where the heart is and my heart has been ripped to pieces leaving me homeless. They are

my family and I love them but I'm not the sweet kid they knew and loved, all that changed when I

was twelve years old. And even after that I still was a genuine kid who laughed and lived like every

teenager should but since my mom died I have become a shell, just a vessel for the monster that

has taken over my body. Alessandro Parker is no more I am la bestia, the beast everyone fears, the

monster created from unknown serums and experiments. I remember the day I found out what the

council had done to me.

Flashback

I had been in my room for hours bored to my core. Training ended three hours ago and there was a

huge meeting to be held in the evening where everyone must be in attendance but right now the

four elders were having their own meeting. My mom is visiting me today she'll be here in about an

hour but until then I have absolutely nothing to do.

Fed up with my state of boredom I decided to take a walk. Leaving my room I ventured down the

long hallway that leads to the elevator, as I reach the third door at the end I see that it's ajar and the

lights are still on.

“This is Garrett's room'

I thought to myself. Garrett Simms is one of the doctors here and he's also super nice and a good

friend. He was the first person i spoke to after I was brought here. I knocked on the door twice

thinking he's inside, when I get no reply I knock two more times.

"Garrett you in here" I called out

Receiving no reply I come to the conclusion that he must have gone out and forgot to turn the

lights off so I turn to leave. As I'm about to walk away I hear a loud crash and the sound of

equipment falling, thinking Garrett must be in there but too busy to have heard me I dashed inside

to see what happened only to find Manson his cat sitting near a pile of broken test tubes, scattered

papers and fallen equipment. Sighing in relief I began to look around, that's when I saw a file on the

ground with my name on it. I wasn't shocked Garrett had a file on me afterall he is my doctor, but

this one looked different than the other types of files I see in his office that he keeps his patients

information on. Curious as to what was inside i picked up the file that had confidential written in

bold caps on the cover and opened it even though I know I shouldn't.

I see a picture of me at the top on the front page along with basic information like name, height,

skin colour, address etc. I skipped a few pages and landed on a page that said

Subject: 114- Alessandro Parker

Test: #11

Subject shows signs of compatibility with serum H however theory objective has not been met. The

Subject's lust for blood has shown no signs of decreasing nor is the subject responsive to mental

commands. Instead serum H causes an increase in the subject's capabilities, immeasurable strength,

hearing, sight and smell. His lust for blood has been tripled, eyes turn black when subject looses

control however based on reports from doctor Simms, the sessions held with patient shows he is

only violent if emotions are overwhelmed.

Blood test results have proven signs of subject's blood containing an unknown venom results are

still pending

NB: patient has the ability to transform partially into a wolf man with unknown strength.

Transformation is unique and deadly as two attendants were killed during this discovery however

patient seems to have suffered amnesia after regaining control.

Conclusion: experiment failed, substance already fused with the subject's blood cells making it

impossible to be completely removed henceforth if the change occurs again it is highly

recommended that subject be killed on sight.

I stood there dumbstruck beyond belief, all this time I thought the council was helping me all this

time I thought I was getting better, Instead I'm just a guinea pig, a failed experiment to be disposed

of. I started shaking as I felt the hurt anger and betrayal build up inside me.

How could they? How dare they experiment on a child. All I wanted was to be normal so I could go

home and be with my mom and the pack. I just wanted to hang out with my friends and do normal

teenager stuff, instead I'm trapped here training away and blackening my soul. I had already lost

count of the number of persons I've killed in the two years I've been here, All I wanted was a little

help instead I was used.

I could feel my wolf taking over I was angry beyond recovery my mind was in a fog of rage, I saw

red.

"Alessandro what are you doing in here and why is my paperwork and equipment all over the

floor?"

I was snapped from my rage filled haze by the sound of Garrett's voice, he looked at me with

questioning eyes until he saw the file in my hand and I saw all the colour drained from his face.

"Why Garrett why" was all I said holding up the file in my shaking hands

"Al it's not what you thin-" he began, getting cut off by me

"It's not what I think!? Is that what your trying to tell me? Are you saying this isn't what it looks like

and I somehow read it wrong or they mistakenly placed my name on this folder" I yelled

"Let me explain ok"

"Explain!? Explain what? Huh? Explain to me that my mom sent me here so you guys could help me

but instead you experimented on me, made me into a freak. A freak who's about to be killed

because your precious experiment failed. Was I really even your friend was any of this even real” I

yelled feeling my wolf Xavier coming to the surface.

I knew it was my wolf but he felt different, he seemed way angrier than his rage was more dense

and the powerusual I felt coming from him was overwhelming, so much so that he overpowered me

without trying and I felt myself slip into the back seat of my mind.

End of flashback

Turns out they were making serums from some mysterious substance they found turning it into a

drug and using it on the kids here I was the only one who showed any promise but they didn't get

the results they were looking for. Instead they turned me into a monster and that same very

monster killed them all.

I shook my head trying to get those horrible thoughts from my mind. That day I killed so many

people it still baffles me how the moon goddess even allowed me to live after that. I remember

ripping some random guy's face off when my mom walked in, two men trying desperately to hold

her back. She called out to get my attention and the look in her eyes alone was like getting stabbed

in the heart. I promised myself I'd do whatever it takes for my mom to never look at me in fear ever

again and that's why I trained hard day and night. I learnt to control my anger and how to control

my strength and exercised restraint but the day she was killed all that flew out the window and now

here I am in the city of California where it all started sitting in a café watching my prey as he talks

with his associate. I've been watching him for hours now, following him around the city waiting for

the right moment, I refuse to let this chance slip by so I'm patiently observing his every move.

After four more hours of watching the snake he finally leaves the cafe and starts walking down the

street. I got up from my booth in the corner and followed from a good distance behind. He stopped

pulling out his phone then started looking around his surroundings so I pulled down my cap and

quickly walked pass him then turned into the ally up ahead knowing he'd have to pass it on his way.

Standing in the ally close enough to the side walk but far in not to be seen by anyone I pulled out a

needle from my jacket pocket and waited patiently for him to pass by. A couple seconds later he's

within my range but he's not alone, the man from earlier was with him. Unable to grab Kevin

without causing a scene I let them pass by me and then I stepped out and followed them. They

went back to a hotel and I recognized it as the one mom and I stayed at when she was kidnapped. I

followed them inside and took a seat in the lobby as I watch them enter the elevator.

After they left I walked outside took off my jacket and cap, fixed my self up a bit then walked back

inside with my jacket in hand. I walked up to the receptionist and put on my most dazzling smile

"Good morning I'm so sorry to bother you but I'm looking for someone and I was hoping you could

help me" I asked sweetly

"Sure I'll see what I can do, what do you need help with" she replied with a small blush on her

cheeks

"Well you see my grandfather and i was supposed to meet up at this hotel, it's my first time in Cali

and I got a bit lost then I accidentally left my phone in a cab so I was wondering if you could tell me

wether or not he had already checked in"

"This is him" I say showing her a picture of Kevin

"Why don't you just use my phone and call him it's not a problem™

"Oh no that's ok I already purchased a new phone and called him he told me he was at the Stanton

hotel but am not sure if this is the only hotel in the city by that name I just need to know if this is

the hotel he's at I don't wanna book a room at the wrong place”

"Ok well if you say so, can I see some identification please”

"Here you go” I say handing her my fake ID

What's the name of your grandfather” she asked

"Jacob Daniels" I replied giving her the alias I know he used to check into the hotel

She searched the guest list on her computer for a minute or two before saying "ahh yes we have a

Jacob Daniels in room 405 and he's the only one on our list"

"Thank you so much your a life saver. Could you book me a room please preferably the one next to

his if it's not already occupied”

"It's no problem at all room 404 is unoccupied so I'll put you in there. Here's your key card your

room is on the the third floor, have a great stay"

"Thank you so much have a nice day” I smiled as I waved her goodbye then ran to catch the

elevator.

I quickly put my cap back on and turned my back to the camera inside the elevator as I rode to the

third floor. Walking down the long hallway I check the room numbers to find my own. Entering

room 404 I checked my syringe filled with horse tranquilizer then opened the door to my balcony. I

stepped out onto the balcony then climbed onto the rail and carefully eased my way over to the

next room. When I reached Kevin's balcony I stood to the side out of sight and focused my hearing,

listening for any signs of movement when I heard arguing.

"I thought you and your men were supposed to be the best at what you do so why is it so hard to

catch one little brat.” Kevin yelled at someone

“Aww how sweet their talking about me’ I thought to myself

"Don't you dare act like this is our fault, my men are all dead, this is all your doing your the reason

Evans is dead and now some kid is picking us off one by one. Over the past six months all our

colleagues have been killed so don't you fucking act like this has anything do with me he's your

grandson you fix it" the person replied

"That bastard is no grandson of mine I should have killed him that same day I killed his whore of a

mother" he scoffed

At the mention of my mother patience was no longer a virtue I had all I saw was rage as I gave in to

my wolf if I can even call him that any more. Kicking down the balcony doors, Kevin and a man

whom i recognized as the one he was with at the café; heads turned in the direction of the doors so

fast I'm surprised they didn't get whip lashed. They immediately took on defensive stances after

realizing it's me, I stepped into the room and they both sent warning growls my way. Kevin then

charged at me taking a swipe at my neck with his claws, I side stepped him and grabbed him by his

collar as he stumbled, then stuck the tranquilizer filled needle into his neck and released him.

"What the hell did you do to him" the man growled

"Oh nothing I just injected him with some tranquilizers” I shrugged

He snarled baring his canines at me then lunged forward. I extended my claws as he came forward

then stuck my hand inside his chest and ripped out his heart. I threw it to the ground them went

inside the bathroom to wash my hands.

I took my phone from my pocket then dialed the number of a friend I met whilst on my quest for

revenge, he picked up after the second ring.

"Hey AJ it's me" I said as he answered

"How'd it go did you get him" he asked

"Yeah he's right here" I say looking at Kevin's unconscious body

" Ok just give the signal when your ready” he says before hanging up

I opened Kevin's door and peeked out to see if there was anyone in the halls. when I saw it was clear

I grabbed Kevin's body and brought him back to my room them I went back and locked his door

and put up the do not disturb sign.

Going back to my room I took up the hotel's landline and called the front desk

"Hello this is Darcy from the front desk how may I help you"

"Omg I need help my grandfather I think something is wrong with him we were talking and he just

fainted I tried CPR but it isn't working” I yelled into the phone in a panicked voice.

"Ohk sir calm down what room are you in" she asked urgently

"I-i-i-I'm in room 404 w-w-with my grandpa" I stuttered

"Ok I've already called an ambulance they should be here in five minutes I'm gonna send someone

up to help in the mean time"

"Please hurry” I say before putting back the phone and calling Aj again.

"Be ready in five you'll see an ambulance”

"Got it"

They sent a man up to the room with a wheel chair, he helped me put Kevin inside then wheeled

him to the elevator. When we reached the lobby the ambulance pulled up to the front. I almost

doubled over laughing when I saw sage and Brandon rushed out of the ambulance dressed as

paramedics. Holding in my laughter I quickly wheeled Kevin up to them as they transferred him

from the wheelchair to the gurney in the back of the ambulance. I gave the wheelchair back to the

man then hopped in the ambulance as it drove off.

After driving in silence for five minutes I couldn't hold in my laughter anymore as it escaped my lips.

"Omg you guys look so weird in those clothes I almost blew my cover when I saw you guys” I said in

between laughter

"I could see it in your eyes your face looked so red" sage chuckled

"By the way what did you guys do with the real paramedics" I asked

"Let's just hope they don't get arrested for public indecency when they wake up in an ally with only

underwear on" Brandon replied

"Hey Al which way are we headed" Aj asked from behind the wheel

"It's time I paid a visit to a certain alpha so we're going to the Howling moon pack” I answered

"Dude are you trying to get us all killed the alpha of the Howling moon pack is vicious" he replied

with wide eyes

"Well he's not as vicious as I am, I think it's time I let you guys know what I'm capable of" I told him

"Ok If you say so but if I get killed Amma haunt your ass for the rest of time"

And with that he turned onto the dirt road leading to the place I dread the most on this earth.
