Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

Ryan sat all alone in his office chair, brooding. Drowning in his sea of thoughts, over and over again. His confident posture slouched as he seemed lost in melancholy. His eyes stared blankly at the computer screen, his fingers tapped aimlessly on the desk. The office was dead quiet, except for the sound of his breath and the occasional tick-tock of the clock on the wall.

He couldn’t shake off the feeling of forlornness that had settled in his heart since he had left Sherry at home. Her words lingered in his mind, haunting him. He wondered if he made the right choice, leaving her there all alone. He couldn’t focus on work, as his mind kept wandering back to her.

He kept swinging his chair back and forth. Standing up all of a sudden and then slouching back again.

His phone had been ringing non- stop for some time. He had intentionally overlooked Josh calling him, over and over again. Perhaps he wanted a simple text or call from the one he had left back home. He knew Josh wasn’t calling for fun, but his reluctance was overbearing. He slouched back once again, folding his hands over his eyes and closed them.

Finally it was Beck who pushed the door of his cabin open and came inside.

” Why wouldn’t you pick your phone up? Josh has been trying to reach you for more than half an hour. I went home. The girl said you left without even informing her. I was worried man… ”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Ryan looked up at his last words.

” Worried, you say, dear Beck. For me? Have you adapted too well in this human society to start worrying about your Alpha’s safety? Or have the recent developments been successfully able to sow the seed of doubt in your head as well? ”

His voice was ice cold. His eyes were red and piercing.

Beck couldn’t dare to utter any more words. He gulped. Rectified his posture in front of his superior. He bowed before him, straightened up and then began reporting the important matter.

” Josh and his lads followed the trail that Chong traced after taking the tracker out of his car. It went straight to the heart of the woods. ” He paused. ” That part where we never ever say any human wonder. Let alone build a control tower. ”

Ryan flipped his leg. His right one went over his left as he listened, looking intrigued.

” When the boys reached the place, they indeed found a base. It was a shift. And by the time the boys reached, it was completely deserted. ”

A smile left Ryan’s lips. He grabbed his car keys and jumped off the window of his office.

As Beck peeped from the window sill to check if he was noticed, Ryan waved at him.

” Come on Beck. Jump off. It seems like we got a chance to flex our unused muscles once more. ”

Beck didn’t understand much but he followed his Alpha’s command.

As Ryan revved up the engine of his sleek sports car, he felt the thrill of the hunt coursing through his veins. It had been awhile since he got to go after a prey without holding back or worrying to over do things. That was the only problem living amongst humans in disguise.

However, his new opponent seemed a little different. Either he knew all about them or he was their own kind.

Beck grinned beside him as they peeled out of the parking lot and onto the busy street.

Ryan leaned back in his seat, the wind whipping through his hair, as he expertly navigated through the traffic with effortless swag. Pedestrians stopped to gawk as they passed, their eyes widening in surprise at the sight of such a powerful machine and two super handsome men.

Beck let out a howl of excitement as they left the city limits and headed towards the woods. “This is gonna be epic!” he shouted, his eyes flashing with anticipation. The thin veil of worry and burden of duty was long lifted off his free soul. He was in his element once more. The raw, wild, young wolf that always trailed his Alpha, no matter what.

Ryan chuckled, feeling the rush of adrenaline as they picked up speed. “You ain’t seen nothing yet, my friend,” he replied, a sly grin on his lips.

It seemed like he too had left his baggage of worries behind. His wrists were pumping up as he kept revving.

Then with a sudden drift, he shifted their main course. From there they went soft for a few stretches.

As they approached the winding road that led into the forest, Ryan slammed on the gas, the car roaring to life as they hurtled towards the entrance. The tires screeched as they took the sharp turn, sending leaves and dirt flying into the air.

Beck whooped with delight, his fur bristling in excitement. “This is insane!” he exclaimed, his eyes shining with a feral gleam.

Ryan grinned, his eyes narrowing in concentration as they barreled down the twisting road. “Hang on tight,” he warned, his voice low but dangerous.

They careened around a tight corner, the car almost tipping onto two wheels as they sped towards a narrow bridge that spanned a deep ravine. Ryan hit the gas, the engine roaring as they soared over the gap, the wind whistling through the car.

Beck let out another howl, his claws digging into the leather seats as they landed with a jolt. “That was wild!” he exclaimed, his heart racing with excitement. Damn it was! Just like it used to be. ”

Ryan smiles, feeling the thrill of the ride still coursing through his veins as well. “You ain’t seen nothing yet,” he repeated, his eyes flashing with a primal hunger.

As they disappeared into the forest, the sound of their howls echoed through the trees, a testament to the power and ferocity of their werewolves within. Which they had for long, tried masking under their human hides.
