MELTING A WEREWOLF'S HEART

ONE ON ONE

Ray went straight to the palace. He knew where the alpha would be at the Moment. Some guards came to stop him and he fought them. He got to the door of the palace and he heaved a sigh.

'It is time. Face your destiny.' He thought to himself as he swung the door open.

"Welcome.......what took you so long?" The alpha smirked.

"Have you forgotten you have so many armies?" Ray walked majestically up to the alpha.

Rudolph stood up from his throne. He descended the stairs and they came eye to eye together.

"Sit. Let's talk." Rudolph gestured to the sofa and they went to sit. Tea was already served. "I know your taste." Rudolph said as he poured hot tea in their cups.

"I don't have time for chitchat." Ray looked serious.

"Why are you in a hurry? When did we ever have a brother to brother chat. At least let's have it one last time........this would be your last." Rudolph gave a wicked smile.

"Oh! Unlike you, I have so many loved ones. People I can call my brother......I can still have this chat with them again." Ray also smirked.

"Ouch....but as you said, you can only call them your brother. They are not. Blood ties matters."

"Hahahaha......I can't believe you still remember that word. But why is it now? That you want to die?"

"You must have come prepared for you to think that you can end me. Haven't you heard, I am immortal."

"Yes. You were. Until now." Ray stood up.

"Why must you always dwell in the past? You know we can end this once and for all. Or don't you want to know the real secret behind our parents death?" Rudolph looked at him with his misleading eyes.

Ray's body weakened when hearing his parents. Was there a secret behind their death? He sat down back, trying to read Rudolph's mind.

"That's more like it." Rudolph smiled victoriously.

"Tell me what you know." Ray commanded with a cold voice, trying his best to read his brother's mind.

I kept on holding the guards as I can. They were getting bigger and bigger. Muin already cane to join me. The guards were coming from the insurance so there was no use staying far from the gate.

The beta brought more men and the gamma brought more army. They were more feisty than the ones we already fought. My body was soaked in cold blood. I didn't care, all that mattered was to finish up this fight. And one silly mistake from me, I'm dead.

"Are you catching up?" Muin asked me as he fought the beta.

"Sure thing. Don't worry." I shouted back.

Raya was helping too. She was also fighting some men.....the ones she could handle. It is going to be a cold night.

*RAY'S POV*

I didn't believe what Rudolph said. I am sure he was lying. I still wasn't able to read his mind. It was not easy getting into the alpha's mind. But still.....I know he's lying.

"You're lying." I said to his face.

"Hahahaha you think so? I mean, whether I lie or not, this fight would still hold. So what's the essence? What will I gain from lying to my little brother?" Rudolph looked serious.

Yes....I got it. I'm in his mind now. He is lying.

"I know that's not true. Dad was never that kind of man. And so was mum. Don't talk nonsense."

"You talk as if you can read my mind. What would I want to lie for? They never wanted you to be the alpha. They wanted to kill you on their own because.....they were scared of you and your powers. Mum said your power is a curse."

He's saying all these to trigger me. He's trying to weak me from now so that it would be easy to finish me off. He's scared of facing me that's why he suggested we drink tea first.

I looked at the tea he served me. I had almost finished it. I sniffed the content.

"You don't think I added something in that do you? I'm drinking it too."

I looked at him. "I don't trust you one bit. You might mix poison in the cup."

"Wow.....smart. hahaha......now I see why dad really hated you."

He brought up the matter again. He wants me to react.

"Well.......it's good you see how well my parents hate me. And that fully led to their deaths according to you. So now you should know how dangerous I am." I told him, looking serious.

"Hahahaha hahahaha........ dangerous? You? I'm the alpha. I'm 70'000 times more stronger than you. You stand no chance."

I coughed.........oh no! He added poison to the cup. I'm such a fool.

"Are you sure you can fight me?" Rudolph asked observing my condition.

I started feeling pains on my lungs. The poison was tearing me Apart but I controlled it. I am stronger now.

'What's wrong? The poison should start showing it's effect now. Why is he still sitting strong?' I heard him say in his thoughts.

'Sorry to disappoint you bro.'

"Well......since today is the last day we sit and talk together, I have longed for a beautiful memorable hug from my brother. Would you give me?" I asked smirking.

Rudolph looked at me. He was suspicious, but he agreed. He doesn't know what I know.

"Sure. This would be your last after all." He said as we hugged each other.

I quickly interchanged the cups and poured more tea in them. "Let's have one last sip." I smiled and we drank together.

"Now it's time.......to face each other. One on one." Rudolph said, as his face turned red.

"At least we're even now. Since we both consumed the poison."

Rudolph looked shocked. He carried the cup and examined it........he threw the glass away immediately he knew he drank from the poisonous cup too.

"It's good to be even." I said as he started coughing blood.

Muin was already fighting the beta while I faced the gamma. We finished all their armies and soldiers. Now it was remaining the two leaders.

We were already wounded and weak, but we still have more skills to give. Everyone were occupied in their fights when a heavy breeze blew around us, throwing us all to the ground.
