Father had been very busy and on edge these past few days. As the current Alpha, he needs to tend with the packs security, specially the young ones, and that includes me and everyone at campus. The recent attack had given him a massive headache and I can feel it within the pack link and so are the pack themselves.

"Father, you need to calm down. The entire pack can feel how stressed you are through the link." Dad's pacing stops for awhile as he reach the window, where he can easily see the campus from here.

"Did they found the wolf that attacked the student?" He asks.

"No father, but there is a witness. Her name is Luna. She's new in town. Arrived recently. Found her roaming the forests in the middle of the night. I believe she saw the wolf that attacked. I'm afraid that she wmight not give any information about it, though." I tell him.

Dad turn around when he heard that Luna might not cooperate if questioned. "Why is that?" He asks with furrowed brows.

I sigh, "I'm afraid that she might have been traumatized by the incident. She wouldn't want anyone to know what really happened in the forest because she's afraid that no one might believe her."

"So she's human, then." Dad simply stated.

Now that he mentions it, "I-I'm not sure..."

That got dad's attention. "What do you mean you're not sure?" He now turn his full attention to me and walk to his desk and lean on it.

"The night I rescued her from the wolf... before it attacked, she was in the clearing under the full moonlight. The clearing. The location where the awakening of the fabled wolf queen, born by the goddess, Selena and daughter the wolf god, Fenrir, will take place," my father's furrowed brows, now slowly turning upwards as the realization came to him as I continue my own theory and suspicion. "The clearing is sacred for us, werwolves, dad. No humans or werewolves can ever enter that clearimg unless they were a direct descent from the god and goddess, and she was able to enter the clearing! Aside from that, before the rogue wolf attacked her, the wolf's eyes glowed red. Blood red, father! No rogues have blood red eyes!"

My father gasps as soon as he heard my description of the wolf that attacked the other night. "The Blood Hounds!"

Now it was my turn to furrow my brows. "The blood hounds? What do you mean? Like the bloodhound dogs?" But dad is not listening to me. He is already rummaging his bookshelves, as if looking for something.

"No, not the dog breed. The Blood Hounds! They are the mythical wolves created by Odin, using Hecate's magic. Odin kidnapped one of Fenrir's sons, Skoll, and turned him into a very first Blood Hound as Fenrir's punishment for killing Sif, Thor's wife and Odin's mistress." Dad tries to recall.
"It has alot of names like hellhound, black shuck, cereberus and many more. But the most common is Blood Hounds. They have jet black matted fur. Moves in the shadows, fully undetected. It has glowing blood-red eyes, and their purpose is to end the line of Loki. And Fenrir's line is the only remaining line that is still alive up until this day. If the Blood Hounds are roaming this Earth, in this country, in this province and in this very city, in our university campus-"
