The guards where securing the chains around Adonis, as his strenght grew day by day. The kings feared what would happen if he escape, he's not the Adonis they knew. Nina would visit him every day. Talking to him. Trying to see if she could take him back to his old self.

The meeting between the four kingdoms is over the King of the East had traveled back to his domain and so is the Queen of the North and west. Sky, Nina's friend had bid her goodbye and promised her that they would meet someday again.

The Regent warned Nina, she told her that Adonis must be cured before the Wolf moon. And Nina promised to do everything in her will to take him back. Meanwhile the Princess Lily had celebrated her 2nd birthday. The kingdom should be rejoicing but due to the threat of the hounds, the kings prepared only a small dinner party

But today....the everything will change.

Inside Adoni's cage, his chain started breaking as he shift to his beast. His Lycan form. He changed, his beast is bigger than before, stronger. With glowing red eyes and larger canine.

But he is not in control. He is trapped somewhere deep within his mind. Trapped in the shadows of his past, trapped in the shadows of his demons and fears. He is trapped within his own body.

NINA

Nina suddenly woke up from the cold breez that had entered their room. She's naked and right next to him is Bryan. They had just spent a night full of love and Bryan had marked her as his mate.

Though Nina suddenly felt a dread inside her, somethings not right, her heart is beating wildly inside her chest. Her wolf is unease, tense and even scared. She asked her wolf if something is wrong. She told her to be careful. Nina stood up and picked her night gown, she then walked out of the room and walked along the corridor. There were guards doing there patrol.

Moving on she went down the cell room to once again check on Adonis, she wasn't even near his cage when she smelled it.

Blood. The scent of blood is Very strong, instead of being scared Nina got worried, she kept on walking but soon stops when she saw a deadman. Nina's hand covered her mouth to stop herself from vomitting. The man's internal organs are missing, his intestine scattered around the floor, his jaw is missing. And then Nina heard a growl behind her.

Her body shook as she slowly turned around, and then there she saw him.

Adonis stood proud, his white fur is covered in blood, he was bitting the man's hand. His claw drips with blood, his eyes are glowing red.

Nina took a step back. This isn't her mate. This is not Adonis. Nina flinched when Adonis growled at her, she's trapped between him and the wall.

His wolf suddenly walked closer to her and then sniff her.

"Mate." He said with his deep voice. He growled and then grip on Nina's dress before he toring it apart.

Nina stood there motionless as she shake from fear. Adonis then licked her neck down to her chest.

"Mate.mate"

"Please, Adonis snap out of it." She beg him, but Adonis only continued, he wrap his big hand around Nina's waist. And then forced her down the floor, Nina trashed around. No! She won't allow it, but Adonis's hand tighten around her, and that's when she shouted.

"HELP! PLEASE! HELP! BRYAN!!!" Adonis the roared, his roar almost shook the whole place down, and that's when he let go of her. He then run straight to the whole destroying it then running away. Nina sat down and watched Adonis flee.

"Nina!!!" She looked behind her to see Bryan, he run to her and hugged her.

"What happened?" He asked, he then saw a large bruise around Nina's waist and then he growled.

"He escaped." She whispered.

"He....he's different." Nina said,still in the state of being shock. Bryan hugged her.

"I got you." He said looking at the smashed wall. It had begun.

BRYAN.

He watched as Nina sleeps, it's already morning and early news have arrived. Different villages and packs around the kingdom have reported a brutal murder. The witnesses have all describe the murdurer or rather the beast as an 8 foot tall bipedal werewolf with white fur, large canine and glowing red eyes. His brother is on a killing spree. His brothers, the kings have already ordered a wide search for Adonis. They had also warned the other kingdoms to guard their border.

"Adonis." Nina murmured in her sleep. Bryan clenched his fist. He must find him before the wolf moon. Or else....Nina would be in danger.

"A letter have just arrived from the Western Kingdom. Lady Suiren, a well known sorceress and a friend of mine told me that the side effect of the bite is that Adonis would loose control of his beast, he would be on killing spree until......" Bryan raised his eyebrow when Author stopped.

"Until what?" He asked, Author looked at him and back at the letter.

"Until he had mated with his mate. He and his sexual urges would be strong, and if he didn't have it then the killing would continue." She finally finished.

"But if he did that. Nina would be in danger." Selene said looking pale.

"If a werewolf mated with his mate in a lycan form, the chance of survival is small, he would break Nina withouth him knowing. And by the bruise around Nina's waist. He is larger than a normal lycan." Selene added.

"Is there no other way." Bryan asked.

"Death." Everyone went silent. Author sat down and placed her hand on her forehead.

"Suiren said. Death would be the other answer. Killing him would put an end to this massacre." Bryan growled.

"I won't allow it!!!!" He shouted.

"Then would you rather have Nina dead?" Author asked glaring at him.

"No there must be another way."

"I agree with Bryan. There must be another way. We will not give up." King Chris said. Bryan must find a way to bring his brother back. And he'll do anything.
