The Alpha's Return

"If I cannot see past these walls, then I think I am going to have to retire into seclusion.", Praneeth joked.

The others left the room ahead of the two and went to the entrance of the warehouse. Indeed, Lucas was standing in front of the gate, talking to the guard.

Michael ran forward and spoke to the guard. He glanced at Lucas and then told the guard to let him in. Lucas stepped into the warehouse.

"Where the hell were you? Everyone came, and they all came at me for letting you go..", Michael reprimanded Lucas. Lucas smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders. He stepped forward, looking at all of the guests who had come at his call.

He took a deep breath and sighed. "Looks like you all came. When was the last time we were all together? Far too long.", Lucas said.

"Far too long? I am afraid that it was too short for us to even catch a breath. Now then, tell us. How do you want us to proceed this time around? Do you want a taser next to your heart or a gu bug?", one of the men said. He was a short man, and he had a very astute physice. His eyes were thin, and he had a thin, but long moustache."

"Why speak about business so early, Mu Chen? Why not talk about life. It\'s been so long after all. Angela! Looks like the cine industry is treating you quite well.", Lucas laughed. Angela had her glasses on, and she just looked away.

Lucas sighed. "Let\'s talk inside. I am going to make it short and brief.", he shook his head and headed inside, passing the five who came out to greet him. No, they did not come to greet him. Rather, they came to make sure that it was Lucas who came, and that was all.

Lucas stopped at the doorway and looked at Praneeth, who was just coming towards him. He nodded towards Praneeth, and Praneeth reciprocated the feeling.

"Let\'s talk inside?", Praneeth asked.

"Let\'s talk inside.", Lucas reaffirmed. Praneeth walked along with Lucas into the warehouse, back to the room that the eight were in just a few minutes ago. Praneeth went and sat on one end of the table, and Lucas at the other end. Slowly, one by one, the others started filling up the seats.

Lucas looked at everyone with a heavy heart. After everyone was seated, he cleared his throat. "I know that you did not want to come. And this might not be the last time that this will happen. I am afraid that this is an occupational hazard. Fenrir has woken up, and it is our duty to make sure that he does not go on a rampage like last time.", Lucas said.

"You say that he has woken up. But, all I see is a man who is angry about his betrayal, and wants to use us to get to his final goal.", Arthur scoffed.

"Do you really think I will need the likes of you to achieve my goal? Those people that I am up against? They are all small fry. Just ants that I will crush. All you need to do is make sure that I don\'t turn completely, and that I always have complete control over my body.", Lucas said. But, as if Fenrir was offended, a loud growl came from inside Lucas. It did not come from his mouth, and it was not exclusive to Lucas. Everyone heard that growl.

Praneeth, who was laid back till now with his eyes closed, opened his eyes immediately. "It seems that our VIP is feeling offended at our displays of affection.", he smiled.

Lucas winced for a moment. Then, from his back, his shirt tore, and his flesh started moulting. Something was trying to come out. Lucas was visibly in pain, but he held it in and did not make any sounds, except for a little grunting. Finally, that flesh came out, like another arm. It did not look, however, like an arm at all. It looked like the vague shape of a wolf. The face of a wolf, to be more precise, on a very long neck that connected to the back of Lucas.

[Yes, Just like venom, except it is a part of his body, and it is made of flesh. To all the haters who do not like me using this scene, this is just an inspiration, so please do not take any offence]

"Looks like all of you have gathered to suppress me again.", a deep voice came from the wolf head.
