15 Werewolves and Lycans

The others paused from surprise, it seemed they didn't think i was capable of such retaliation. But it didn't last long, the biggest of them let out a growl loudly, that snapped them from their daze and allowed their eyes to focus on me with much more ferocity.

This time they circled around me patiently trying to find an opening. Realising they weren't coming, i said:

''If you don't attack, don't blame me if i do!'' right before jumping on one of them.

i had long since realised the origin of my attackers,

'they should be lycans.'

But what puzzled me is that Chloe told me that they were extremely strong physically, about the same as vampires. This made me confused because the ones in front of me were a lot weaker, i could only deduce that they weren't lycans but was somewhat related to them.

I arrived right in front of him before he could react, my knee had already found his stomach sending him flying and crashing into a wall. I didn't pause, i directly went for the next, i had downed two of them but there were still a lot of them, about 8 more. I was starting to wonder who hated my guts this much, few names came to mind reminding me that i had offended a lot of people.

'Well, i shouldn't think about it now.'

With a powerful palm strike one more fell and didn't get up. As he saw his men get REKT, the 'man?' i assumed to be the chief couldn't take it anymore he shouted in a loud voice.

''SHIFT!''

The voice vibrated at a peculiar frequency spreading like waves. When those waves reached the others, cracking sounds resounded through their body due to the snapping and movements of their bones.

Their faces were distorted in an expression of pain, it was like numerous undercurrents were surging under their skin. After a few minutes the men were nowhere to be seen, only bigger than normal wolves were left in their place. Their pelt was grey, their furs were bristling and they were releasing growls toward me. At the front of the pack of wolves stood a wolf reaching 160cm of height towering upon the other wolves. He was the one that gave them the order to shift.

He stepped forward and howled commanding the charge, the wolves pounced toward me with renewed frenzy. They had become significantly faster than before, their animal form gave them an unrivalled agility compared to bipedal beings like me.

Like wolves in the wild, the came at me in a hunting formation. In a few minutes they had already left several claws and bites marks all over my body. Of course with my higher than average healing speed, the blood had already stopped dripping and the wounds were already closing.

But it didn't help as they were relentless in their pursuit. I was principally clashing with the alpha of the pack, i was physically stronger than him despite his transformation but as i was using my fist, palm, knees, foot i couldn't deal enough damage to get pass his though hide. The alpha though was able to wound me thanks to his razor sharp claws and fangs. During my fight with him, the others would take shots at me when i left gap in my defence, attacking from every angles.

The fight was especially savage given the parties involved in it, me, a man who wan't afraid of dying and those wolves gifted with inherent ferociousness.

After half an hour of this stalemate, i had gotten used to the rhythm of the battle and to their formation. Although i had mastered all those martial disciplines i didn't get to really use those skill in a life or death battle so they were a little rough around the edges. But with this battle i completely digest them and learned to use them in real life, converting them from theorical knowledge to practical knowledge.

I also learned the movements pattern of those wolf and with my monstrous INT i was capable of anticipating their next moves, relieving the burden of their sneak attacks.

Finally tired of these games i purposely left an opening in my back, baiting a wolf to initiate an attack. He fell for it but just when his claws were centimetres near my skin, i made a ghostly turn and crushed his snout to bloody paste. Profiting from the vacuum left by it i managed to get out of their deadly formation.

The alpha howled bloody murder seeing the state of it's subordinate but i wasn't intimidated.

It was only know that i had the time to breathe that i started wandering why no human had come here despite the noise caused by the battle.

'Truly puzzling, even if they didn't hear the noise, it's a often used street, one should have already chanced upon the battle.' i thought.

Observing the surroundings more thoroughly allowed me to discover the probable culprits. They were stones placed in a square surrounding the zone we were fighting in. They shimmered with a magic glow and were distorting the surroundings view hinting at their role in the camouflage of this ambush.

This breather allowed me to return to my top shape. I then looked at the remaining 6 wolves. I blurted forward this time using my full 1500 stats, catching a wolf by the throat i thrusted him toward another crushing them together before they alpha could react leaving only four wolves including the leader.

The alpha seemed to realise the gravity of the situation and called for retreat, the others heed his orders and took the wounded wolves with them and leaving the dead ones. The alpha looked at me with immense hatred that could only come from having one kins killed before rushing with the others in the night.

Just as the left the stone interfering with the outside cracked and turned to ash dissipating the barrier. I looked at the state of the place after the battle, there were blood everywhere and 4 wolves corpses of the original 10 that ambushed me. My clothes were ripped and bloody but i didn't have a single wound or even a scar.

'Fuck i should have asked them who sent them?' i thought blaming myself for letting them go.

I went to the wreck that was my car, opened it and saw that my phone wasn't damaged with the car. I dialled Stella number and she immediately picked up.

''hey dear''

''hey'' i was used to her antics by now

''I was just ambushed by what seemed to be men capable of shifting into wolf.'' i stated calmly as if it was a everyday occurrence.

''For real?'' she asked shocked

After i finished describing the events that took place. she said:

''Your lucky a Lycanthrope wasn't among them, you see werwolves is they result you get when a lycanthrope bite a normal human or when werwolves themselves bite another human. Of course should the werwolf live long enough it's possible for him to purify his blood more and more to evolve into the legendary lycanthrope, a being comparable to True blood vampires like Thorn Crimson''

''So you mean that they're just a downgraded version of Lycans?''

''You could say that.''

''You just said True blood Vampire what is that.''

''Chloe didn't explained?''

''No''

''Well allow me to, a True Blood vampire are vampire with the purest vampire blood compared to the ordinary vampires that were turned from humans they were born that way. Of course same as the werwolves they normal vampires have a chance to ascend to a True Blood but that is after purifying their bloodline enough. ''

'I see'

''Speaking of it you said Chloe's father was one, so she is one too right?'' i asked curiously.

''That…'' she hesitated but continued

''It's… she's different even for True Blood vampires, the rate at which she grows in power is hundred times a normal True Blood, that's why every vampire are afraid of her and even view her as an abomination.'' she said sadly.

' It's why she's always putting that cold facade, despite being a really passionate person.' i realised.

''Anyway let's not talk about those assholes anymore, i'm sending you a cleaning team''

''Cleaning team?'' i asked puzzled by the new term.

''Yes cleaning team, they erase trace of supernatural events''

'Damn there's a lot i don't know'

''Thanks''

''De nada dear, later'' she said sweetly and hang up.
