Overcoming the Darkness (Series 2)

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

ZAFRIX Wolfe was just an ordinary werewolf. There is no special blood on him. But because of what had transpired more than nine hundred years ago, he somehow felt the need to challenge the former king and sit on his thrown. But there is a rule for becoming a werewolf king if one hasn't descended from the royal bloodline, half of his soul will be devoured and as long as the time passed by, it will gradually fade into the endless pit of darkness in exchange for his rule until not a single drop of his soul is left. And he won't be able to stop it on his own.

He's been reigning the throne for nine hundred and eighty six years to be exact. Habang tumatagal ay mas dumadalas ang pagkawala niya sa sarili. Kapag dumating sa punto na tuluyan siyang mawalan ng kontrol, they will need to end his life before he murders everyone.

Ang tanging paraan para makabalik siya sa normal ay kapag natutunan niyang umibig at mangyayari lamang iyon kapag nahanap na niya ang kaniyang beloved.

Zafrix had tried on different women, but failed. He never felt the bond that he was told to look for in order to bring back his soul. Iyon ang dahilan kung bakit mayroong kumalat na sabi-sabi na nangongolekta siya ng kababaihan. But he never once did touch them, he just looked into their eyes to see if there is a bond. At kapag wala ay pinababalik din niya kaagad ang mga ito sa kanilang pamilya.

For nine hundred years he kept losing control and killed his own men. The only way to stop him everytime that happens is to stab his heart with a large dose of liquid silver and wolfsbane. Kakaunti lamang sa kaniyang mga nasasakupan ang tunay na nakakaalam sa totoong nangyayari sa kaniya. Ngunit habang tumatagal, lalong lumalala ang nangyayaring pagkawala niya ng kontrol. The darkness inside him becomes worse that it is gradually consuming his entire being. It is just his strong will that managed to keep it at bay.

"S-Sofia..." he groaned as he clutched on his chest. The pain of losing her is starting grow.

"King Rex!" A royal guard yelled in concern and approached him. Pero agad din itong lumayo nang makita ang itim na mga mata ng hari.

The castle grounds had become a bloody battle field. Hindi matigil ang biglang pagdagsa ng mga bampira at rogues sa paligid na umaatake sa mga taong-lobo. Wala na rin si Vein Ruiz at nakatakas na matapos dumating ang mga bampira nito. Nakikita niyang nakikipaglaban sina alpha Lawrence at luna Cyan maging sina Marcus kay Lyndon na siyang walang humpay na umaatake sa kahit sinong lumalapit dito. Tunay na wala na ito sa sarili base sa blangko nitong mga mata at sa kakulangan ng ekspresyon sa mukha nito.

Zafrix forced himself to stand straight and look ahead. He must follow her, he must get her back whatever it cost.

With a relentless determination, he ran after his beloved. Hindi man niya naiintindihan ang mga nangyayari at kung bakit ganoon na lamang ang reaksiyon ng babaeng minamahal ay kailangan niya itong mailigtas. Kailangan niya itong pigilan na umanib sa sarili nitong kadiliman. He doesn't want her to end up like him. An empty vessel.

He grabbed the nearest vampire that was attacking them and wrapped his clawed hand on its throat. The vampire let out an ear-piercing scream of protest, trying to claw his way out of his hold. Gigil na hinigpitan niya ang pagkakasakal dito hanggang sa tuluyan nang mabali ang leeg nito. He wasn't done, though. He clenched his fingers resulting for the vampire's complete decapitation, blood sprayed on him and on the ground. The head rolled and bounced on the ground before it turned into ashes.

Nagpatuloy siya sa pagtakbo habang walang hirap na kinakalaban ang mga bampira at mga kalabang taong-lobo na sumusubok na humarang sa kaniyang dinaraanan. He glared at them and let out a roar of fury. He will never let this traitors get away.

In a few seconds, the area was filled with defeaning screams of pain and the ground that had once been carpeted with green bermuda grass is now coated in blood and ashes.
