Ghostville Wolf | Werewolf Week 2023

Wolfville Ghost

Millie shoots at Axel and he throws her a withering look of betrayal. Arbindo yells his name as he goes down and meets the floor with a soft thud.

Two seconds of stardom is all Axel gets before the pack beta bursts through the door, ignoring the protesting security guard and orders the group to be at the meeting hall right away.

Five of them make their way to the Wolfville Academy and enter the packed room with their shirts splashed in different colors.

The Alpha sweeps her eyes across the room, her eyes pause at the famous five for a nanosecond before moving on. "Hiding the events occurring in the city was a mistake on my part and it was futile. Despite us finding homes in areas far away from the city, the news was bound to spread. The sightings of werewolves were reported in the city of Wolfville and beyond. Upon investigation, they were found to be forced transformations. Cause? A strain of the very serum that had been successfully aiding us in keeping our identities hidden from the eyes of the evil - the humans." Alpha pauses, allowing the pack members to grasp the information she dumped upon them. Gasps ring around the room and the air crackles with tension and apprehension about the next course of action. "The Alphas from all the packs have decided to dispatch a team to probe into the matter and find the thief and the antidote. We have decided on Axel, Millie, Krita, Arbindo and Asher." Murmurs of doubt break out. "I know what you people are thinking. To send these troublemakers on this mission is a well-thought-out decision. They are curious, poke their noses everywhere and find a way to do nearly impossible tasks and those are the qualities we desperately need. Guys, please pack a small bag with the essentials. And Krita, that means no makeup."

The assigned group bows to the Alpha and sprints to their respective rooms. The first go-to place was easy to decide on - the crime scene. The Lab from where the serum was stolen and distributed. They did not ask for the video footage, no, they sneak in to find what the researchers might hide. The next day they question the scientists who all lie.

"The one with the most sweaty forehead, that is our target," Arbindo mindlinks others.

That is what they do, catch him on his way home. A bit of threatening work wonders and the middle-aged man cracks, letting them know that someone stole it from the lab itself and not when they were sending it to get disposed of.

"A man in white, wasn't it?"

The researcher gulps before responding - "Not a man. A ghost." Asher laughs loudly, Krita snorts, Axel raises an eyebrow in disbelief, Arbindo shivers while Millie appears to be angry. The diversity in reactions scares the man and his expressions turn resolute - "I can make a promise of blood."

Everyone sobers up.

"But ghosts are a myth," scolds their Alpha over the call.

Apparently not.

"Mother, please. Anything. Any witch or wizard. A book on them. Any immortal with the information." Axel pleads, Alpha eventually agrees.

Whilst waiting, they settle on forming a Plan B, just in case.

"What if we do not indulge in direct investigation?" Millie pipes in.

"What do you mean?"

"I have a plan, I think." All of them huddle together to hear the plan told in a hushed whisper.

In the dark of the eerie silent night, they slowly walk on the stone path in hopes that they might stumble upon a secretive conversation in one of the alleys.

While on the prowl, Axel suddenly collapses on the pavement, the others rushing to his aid.

"Axel! Axel, what is happening?"
