Will I survive? [Moriarty The Patriot | William X OC]

⫷ 6 • Under The Moonlight ⫸

Author's POV

*13 years later*

Under the full moon, mid-night hours, a group of four men entered the forest. The one in the middle was carrying a noblewoman, whom they abducted from the Holborn family. Her hands were tied up behind her, mouth tied with a cotton cloth. She was unconscious due to drug overdose. They keep moving deep inside the forest. The deeper they go the more silent the path becomes, only the sound of their footsteps was heard.

In the end, they stopped at a particular place from where a large lake can be seen. The moonlight that touches the lake makes it look like scenery from a painting.

They put her under a tree and stood there waiting for someone. The woman was their treasure, so precious that they couldn't put a scratch on her. A treasure that can shower them with luxury. The previous ones were not as great as this one. They did great calculations for this treasure.

However, they had no idea that their calculation will be miscalculated. It was as if they were lured in by their predator.

The predator had their eyes on them. Sitting on a branch of a tree, spectating the show in silence.

Moments later, two men in black suits arrived. One was an old man in his late 50s, wearing a ruby ring on his right index finger and a black hat. The other was a puffed man, a bodyguard to be precise. The bodyguard was carrying a luggage.

The old man approached the woman. He checked her out standing close to her, then finally gave his approval to the abduction group. Without wasting any time, the bodyguard was about to hand the luggage to one of the men but stopped in the middle.

The howl of a wolf was heard by everyone. Before they could do anything, the beast jumped out at the bodyguard. It ruthlessly injured the man with his claws and stood on him. The impact of his attack was so strong that the man slowly lost consciousness. It growled at the four men. They started to run away. The old man's hat fell out of his head. His leg started shaking at the sight of the beast. With just one loud growl, the old man fainted on the spot.

The whole drama ended like that. The wolf went away without causing any further commotion.

*far from that scene, inside the forest*

The gray-furred wolf walked towards a black-haired woman standing under the moonlight. She was wearing a black cloak, her hood was off her head. The long wavy hair complimented her honey toned skin while her golden eyes were gleaming with enchantment. The moment she smiled, the wolf jump at her figure but not to harm her. He embraced her.

"Haha, are you that happy to see me, Proteus?" She laughed and hugged him back. The wolf started licking her face.

"Hey!!"

"You did great there. Thanks for saving my friend over there." She patted him. That's right! Her only reason to plan this scene was to save her dear friend. The wolf had his front legs on her shoulders. He wagged his tail happily when she praised him.

The whole scene was mesmerizing. Especially to that person, who watched them from a distance. That person was none other than William. A smile came to his face, then he returned to Louis.

After reaching Louis. "What about the plan, brother?" Louis asked in confusion.

"We are not needed here. It is already settled by someone else." He replied.
