《Galduta》Wild Hunt

Nick's POV

I stood atop the roof of the mansion located on the compound overlooking my brothers preparing for the upcoming war against the martinez family, though I doubt it would be much of a fight but it never hurts to be prepared. They came to the city three years ago with nothing but the clothes on their backs but quickly made a name for themselves thanks to their leader Carlos Martinez, they took the organized crime world by storm and have a decent amount of respect among the other families,though they are not the number one family they are still very capable. Their boss carlos is a very ambitious man as one could tell by his trying to cripple my family before we could make a proper stand, it seems he thinks that because we're newly formed we're pushovers, well I guess it's time to show him that that's not the case I thought to myself with a smirk.

I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of approaching footsteps, I turned my head and saw scar coming towards me with his ever so serious attitude

"Something wrong, old friend?" I asked. At my question scar released a deep sigh and said "That boy" he gestured with his head at eren below "Why did you decide to share your gift with him?" his question made me stop and think, why DID I make him like me? Was it the longing to be a part of a family? Was it me being the only one of my kind? I sighed and stared at eren "He reminds me of myself before I became..........this" I said with disgust in my voice.

My answer seemed to shock scar as his eyes slightly widened before he asked "What do you mean?" he asked with confusion written plain on his face, I smiled and shook my head at him "that's a story for another occasion, it's time to leave" I said as I strode to the edge of the roof before diving off head first and flipped midair before landing on my feet with a thud causing the ground to crack slightly. That feat might be impossible for a normal human but for my kind it's a minor thing, jumping off of a three story mansion is nothing to brag about.

Scar on the other hand chose to take the stairs back down and soon stood beside me to adress my brothers, I glanced at him without turning my head and said in a low voice for only us to hear which would have made sense if only we weren't surrounded by individuals with enhanced hearing "was the little baby too afraid to jump?" I asked with a teasing tone to which scar replied with his ever stoic expression "I just chose to do the sensible thing and take the stairs without risk of injuring myself foolishly". His reply elicited a few snickers from the men and caused my eyelid to twitch, I sighed and decided it was time to deliver my speech to my men before we get completely off track.

I stared at them with a serious expression on my face which caused the few men snickering to stop and stand at attention, I nodded in satisfaction and said "Brothers, you all know why we are gathered here today. It seems a certain rat has set it's sights on us thinking we are easy prey and we can be trampled upon without being able to do anything about it, tell me brothers, ARE YOU WEAK PREY WHO CAN BE TRAMPLED UPON BY ANY WHO FEEL LIKE IT!?!?"

""""NOO!!!!!"""""

"ARE YOU GOING TO ROLL OVER EVERYTIME SOMEONE WISHES TO HARM YOU?!?!"

""""""NOOOO!!!!!""""""

" ARE YOU MEN OR ARE YOU MICE!?!?!" instead of a verbal answer what I got was my brothers taking on their wolf forms and letting loose a chorus of howls, seeing this I let loose a feral grin and turned to scar "change of plans, tonight we hunt as a pack should GRRRRR AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" I said as I shifted to my full wolf form and let loose a howl of my own before taking off in the direction of the martinez family compound quickly followed by eren and the others, scar included.

we ran through the forest surrounding our territory with impressive speed and quickly made our way to the edge of the forest before bursting through the bushes and over the not so high wall which seperated the street from our compound. We ran through the empty streets of the city as it was midnight and this is'nt exactly the safest part of town , we ran through the streets and jumped over vehicles before I decided the rooftops would be much faster so I barked an order (quite literally) for us to climb the nearest building which was a two story chinese restaurant, we quickly climbed the restaurant and continued our journey across the rooftops.

We soon arrived at our destination, a big mansion of four stories sitting on seven acres of land surrounded by a small forest with armed guards in and just on the outskirts patrolling. We observed while crouching to avoid detection from the roof of a building directly across the street from the martinez territory.

As we continued to observe the enemy's patrol patterns I decided it was time to begin the operation so I ordered my packmates to attack. I observed for a while and watched my pack tear through the enemies defenses silently before I decided it was time for me to join the fray. I leaped off the roof and landed on a tree branch, I waited patiently for a while and before long a lone martinez lackey came running in my diection unaware of my presence followed closely by some of my pack mates, I dropped down from the branch I was on and landed directly in front of him and my pack started circling him and I, I could smell the fear rolling off of him in waves along with the strong scent of urine, I felt myself drooling as I thought of feasting on his flesh and could no longer contain myself and threw myself at him but sadly he dodged by rolling to the side causing me to slide across the ground.

I dug my claws into the dirt to stop myself from sliding any further and got up growling, my vision started turning red as I felt myself grow angry, no more games I thought to myself as I barked an order to my pack to surround the man.

Lackey's POV

"I fucking hate night shift man" I said to Rick as we patrolled the outskirts of the forest together "all these creepy noises and shit give me the chills" I shuddered at the thought of what may be hiding in the dark

"someone sounds like a pussy" rick said with a chuckle "there's nothing in here that can harm you so man up and stop bitching", it was at that moment when something flew out of the forest and landed on rick causing him to fall to the floor, I released a high pitched squeal and fell to my butt in shock at what was hovering over rick, there stood a feral looking wolf like creature with dark gray fur covering it's whole body with a long bushy tail behind it.

The creature glanced back and growled at me before focusing it's eyes on rick, it snarled in his face and before my very eyes it started tearing into his flesh and devouring him limb by limb. I stared wide eyed at the scene unfolding before my eyes unable to make a sound. I was soon snapped out of my shock however by the sound of snarling coming from behind me, slowly turning my head, I saw two more humanoid wolf creatures with silver fur approaching me slowly followed by similar wolves like the one feasting on my now dead partner.

I felt the world slow down as I stared into the monster's yellow eyes which seemed to contain the entirety of hell and it's demons locked away inside, it was not until one of the two silver wolves leaped at me did I regain my senses and rolled to the side before scrambling to my feet and dashing off into the forest.

I refused to look back as I knew what awaited me if I did so, tears were streaming down my face and my pants had long since been drenched at the sight of these creatures emerging from the depths of the dark forest like spectres. I ran wildly through the forest too scared to even scream, I heard the constant barking and howling behind me and started running even faster when suddenly out of nowhere another wolf creature dropped directly in front of me causing me to skid to a halt.

This monster appeared different from the others as it had black fur instead of silver or dark grey and had bulkier muscles, it stood taller than the others but the most eye catching thing about this creature was its eyes, its eyes were the deepest shade of red I had ever seen and it seemed to contain the fury of titans within them, but there was also something else within those eyes, an emotion buried in the depths of its very being.........pain. For a moment I was mezmerized but suddenly the beast began drooling and leapt at me, I was immediately brought out of my stupor and dodged by rolling to the side causing the beast to slide across the floor but it stopped itself by digging its claws into the soft dirt.

The monster glared at me while growling and barked at the others, apparently it was giving an order to trap me in a tight circle. My eyes continuously darted from left to right as I tried desperately to keep all the monsters in my sight but sadly that wasn't possible, I doubled over as I felt a sharp pain coming from my left ankle and looked down to see a gash from which blood was flowing freely like a waterfall, I had no time to worry about that however as I felt the same feeling of pain coming from my other ankle.

I was on my knees now, I was too tired to attempt standing and I doubt I even could with my achilles tendons sliced, all I could do was stay on my knees and wait for them to finish me off. I whimpered as I watched them slowly creep towards me and then I saw something which made me doubt my sanity, I saw the wolf with the black fur and red eyes smile, IT FUCKING SMILED!!!! wait, if it can smile that means it has intelligence which means I can still get out of this alive.

"PLEASE SPARE ME!!!" I started pleading for my life and crawling towards the alpha, or at least I assumed it was the alpha as the others seemed to be following its orders, I crawled closer and closer to it and it watched me with a strange gleam in its eyes 'It's enjoying this' I thought to myself, I could do nothing but grit my teeth and continue to make my way slowly towards it when suddently I felt an intense pain coming from my right leg, I looked back and saw one of the monsters tearing into my leg.

I let out a blood curdling scream which seemed to excite the monster even moe as it tore into me with increased vigor, I used my other leg to kick the beast in its head repeatedly but I was stopped by another of these things biting into my other leg, another scream escaped my lips as I felt the pain run through my body like lightning. I laid on my back screaming as I felt the skin and muscle being separated from my bones by these vicious creatures, the two that were biting into me were soon joined by the others and I lifted my arms to cover my face which were also bitten and forced away from my face by the two silver wolves, they bit and tore my skin and muscles off my body and devoured them but strangely they were being careful not to kill me but made sure I was in extreme pain.

The torture was soon stopped by a bark from an area just outside my field of view and I began thanking god for the break no matter how short it would be. I was soon interrupted from my profuse praise to the man above by the site of two piercing red eyes appearing above me, I stared into the creatures eyes as it stared back into mine and we continued for what felt like eternity until it raised its head and unleashed a loud howl which nearly ruptured my eardrums, I groaned in pain and shut my eyes tight till the howling stopped. When I opened my eyes again I was met with the sight of an empty clearing, I looked around and saw not one of those vile monsters remaining.

I let loose a soft chuckle which soon turned into full blown laughter, anyone who heard me might think I was a mad man but after what I just went through I don't care what anyone thinks of me. I was inturrupted from my joyous moment by the sound of footsteps approaching, my head snapped in the direction I heard the footsteps coming from and what came into view was a woman dressed in a black skin tight bodysuit with an emotionless face

"Oh thank God, please help me!" I practically shouted to the woman as I watched her walking towards me slowly with that same look on her face, I began to sense something was wrong as the woman got closer and closer to me until she was standing directly over me "cruel creatures aren't they? they didn't think you were worth the effort to kill so they left you to bleed out" she said as she drew a sword from behind her

"please......please......please don't do this" I said as fear took hold of my heart as the lady pointed the sword directly at my heart "you'll die anyway" she said as she drove the sword straight through my heart " I'm just making sure you dont suffer" she said and showed me a dazzling smile as my vision started to darken "bitch" I muttered before my world completely faded to black.

Carlos Martinez POV

I was at my desk going over the reports when suddenly the door to my office burst open, I looked up and saw my lieutenant, Gabriel in the doorway sweating bullets and gasping for air. I narrowed my eyes at him and with an authorative tone asked "What is it?" to which he took a deep breath and replied "we're under attack sir, most of the men have already been killed so I need to get you to safety since you're most likely the target" I felt the color leave my face and quickly pulled a gun out of my desk drawer before getting up to follow gabriel, we ran through the empty hallways and I heard the sound of gunshots and roars of animals which made me wonder just what the hell was attacking us,whatever it was it certainly wasn't human.

We quickly made our way down the stairs until we arrived at the entrance to the garage before kicking it open and entering where gabriel hurriedly took out the keys to the black bmw and fumbled until he managed to insert the key to unlock the vehicle, by that time the sounds of fighting and screams along with the roars gradually got closer to our location "Hurry goddamn it!" I shouted to gabriel as I hopped into the car and he stepped on the gas driving straight through the garage door.

The car drove straight over the corpses of the dead guards and patrolmen causing it to jolt and jump before driving smoothly again, the sounds of fighting got further and further away as we sped down the driveway through the forest and crashing through the gates before going onto the streets. I breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed as I felt my heart rate gradually calm down "that was close" I said to gabriel to which he replied with a chuckle "indeed it was sir, but it'll take more than that to-" he was interrupted by the sound of something heavy landing on the roof of the car and a gigantic arm piercing through the roof and entering his skull from above causing the car to spin out of control and flip over before crashing into a nearby building.

I kicked open the door while coughing up blood and dragged myself out of the now wrecked vehicle and layed flat on my back before turning my head in the direction of my dead lieutenant who had a huge hole at the top of his head "i'm sorry" I said as a single tear rolled down my cheek. I layed silently wallowing in my pain when I suddenly heard growling around me, I turned my head in the direction of the growls and saw I was surrounded by hellish looking wolf creatures.

I suppressed a whimper from escaping my throat and gave a defiant look to these creatures, I was stunned however by the sound of clapping coming from behind the monsters, they split into two rows and from the middle came a man with shoulder length black hair, red glowing eyes, covered in fur with claws which were dripping blood at the end of his fingertips wearing a shredded black jeans pants and a wide grin which did nothing to hide his sharp,pointy teeth.

"Wha- What do you want?" I asked with a trembling voice to which the man-wolf responded with a chuckle " Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Jesus Christ? "

I could no longer stay awake as the fatigue finally caught up to me and the adrenaline that was running through me lost its effect, my vision started fading and all I heard was the voice of the feral looking man saying " Helloooooooo, is anyone home? "
