When the Shepherd Herds the Sheep

"Nolan! Send my assassins over the wolf packs of the Alphas who opposed my intention to issue war against the current King of Rogue Werewolves." commanded by King Viktor to Beta Nolan.

Beta Nolan nodded in agreement to the command of the vicious Alpha King.

"Then, what should we do to our new information about the whereabouts of the Oracle?" query of Beta Nolan.

"We will pay a visit to him but first, I have to take care of my meeting with the Altum Council. I should inform them about my war with the King of Rogue Werewolves and maybe take down 2 of the members of the council before going to the meeting.

Who should be taken down first, the Grand Seer or the Grand White Witch . . . ?

Options, options, options …" deviously wondered by King Viktor.

====================

In a ruins far away from the Werewolf Kingdom, there lies a huge abandoned castle with feral and rogue werewolves scattered all over the lands.

There lies the territory of the Rogue Werewolves who swore to take down the Werewolf Kingdom.

Somewhere in the Castle of King Lucius, a wide spacious yard became the training ground for Lucas. Where he trains the other captains of the Rogue Werewolves and tries to give them a good taste of his own fist and kicks.

All present rogue werewolves are either wearing tattered jeans or piece of underwear. It seems that it has been normal for the rogue werewolves to be half-naked while training since they may succumb to their anger and shift to their wolf form when they lose control.

The sparring partner of Lucas seems to start losing control of his patience because he could not land even a single punch or hit to Lucas.

To no avail, the sparring partner of Lucas could not hit even a single hit. Lucas has been using his top speed and skills in evading. Showing to the present rogue werewolves that speed can be attained and useful in battle.

"You see, perception is the key! Anticipating carefully where your opponent is hitting, will be very crucial in your succeeding attacks. Either you can lure your target or wear him out. It depends on how you want to finish off your opponent. So, it is important to pay attention to your enemie's movements." Lucas elaborating to the present rogue werewolves how to evade and anticipate attacks.

<<< _Shift_ >>>

An ability of every werewolf to transform into their werewolf form.

<<< _Take Over_>>>

An ability where the spirit wolf is given the control to take over the wolf form. It can either happen after the shift or even before the shifting process.

Both abilities were used by a rogue werewolf, the sparring partner of Lucas, who has now lost his cool and desperate to take down or even land just a hit on Lucas.

Rogue werewolves are known to be poor in taming their spirit wolves and are the type that always succumbs to their werewolf nature.

Though, Lucas is known in the Kingdom of Rogue Werewolves to be a powerful hybrid who has explosive abilities and uncanny wolf strength and speed. He does not use his explosive abilities against allies but only to his sworn enemies which is the Alpha King and his kingdom. So, he only uses sheer strength and speed against his allies to train himself as well to push his physical abilities and strength to the limit.

The sparring partner of Lucas who just turned into a huge wolf is now rushing towards him.

Lucas swiftly evades and used his full strength to throw off the rogue wolf.

As the huge wolf got thrown off and landed against the nearest sturdy old brick wall, a middle-aged stocky looking man walks in with his sleeveless shirt and camouflage pants, interrupting the fight.

"Lucas! Lucas!" the guy in a sleeveless shirt and camouflage pants started to get Luca's attention.

"What is it now Melvin? Can't you see I am training and having a session here with the other captains." Lucas explained.

"Well! Lucian wants you in his office now." declared by Melvin.

By the mention of Lucian, everyone turns their attention and Lucas stopping the training.

"Let us continue tomorrow, looks like our King needs my charming presence. What a clingy King we have." jokingly announced by Lucas.

Everyone laughed at his joke and started dispersing. Even his sparring partner started to shift back to human form and excused himself from Lucas.

Lucas has become an important figure in the shadows and as a trainer to all captains of King Lucian's Rogue Army. He is very important and has a notorious reputation for being pleasant towards his allies but merciless to his enemies. He is mostly known as the right hand of King Lucius and his –Hit Man– because all the men that King Lucius wanted to disappear were all killed by Lucas.

Right after Lucas entered the office of King Lucius, he was greeted immediately by the King of the Rogue Werewolves.

"Nice for you to join us, Lucas! Forgive me if we have to cut your training short because of a sudden thing that came into our attention." King Lucius tells Lucas.

There are some Generals standing as well beside King Lucius while the King of the Rogue Werewolves informs Lucas about some new information.

"What is it? Is there any news about my sister? Did you find anything about her whereabouts?" Lucas asked.

"No! It is not about that. We are still looking for her since the day we found out that she no longer stays with the Midnight Pack after the death of Laquisha." King Lucius replied.

It seemed that Lucas is no longer interested what was about to be mentioned because he made it clear that he does not want to be included in any other talk if it does not involve her sister or taking down King Viktor, -the King of all Alphas-, which made him try to prepare to leave.

"Viktor is on the move, we just heard a piece of news from our spies that he wiped out some wolf packs through his assassins. So definitely, it will be publicized to the public as a rogue attack especially it will justify their declaration of war more towards all rogue werewolves. And there is also an intel that he is on his way to the hidden hideout of the Grand Seer. He looks like planning something vicious once again." King Lucian explained to Lucas.

"Well, we have to see if there are survivors from their wipe-out operation. It is too late to save the Grand Seer since she clearly does not want to help us as well. So let her suffer on her own if she is willing to turn a blind eye on the victims of King Viktor then maybe she deserves to get what is about to come her way." Lucas straightforwardly explained.

"So, maybe bring one of the generals." King Lucian pointing one of the Generals beside him. "You will be visiting not just one wolf pack. So, there should be extra measures taken."

"Okay! I will get myself prepared." Lucas excused himself out of King Lucian's sight.

"Are you sure he will tow in line during this war?" One of the generals mentioned.

"Oh yes! We can rely on his loyalty. Especially after I told him the reason for his parents' death. He is our best weapon against the Alpha King. Our trump card against him! Though, I need to make sure if his parents are really just some ordinary members of Silver Aurora Pack.

"I am the shepherd that herds the sheep. To keep them all in line." King Lucius openly declares.

King Lucius thought to himself silently,

'Once I find out if Lucas is connected somehow to the missing Chosen One, then –LUCAS­– will definitely be my TRUMP CARD against Viktor. I will have the possession of the Chosen One and utilize its powers just like how I am doing with him now.'

======================

Somewhere in a mountainous region, inside a cave, loud screams are reverberating around the rocky walls.

Screams of chaos and death.

"Time to sheath some sheep."

King Viktor revealing an evil smirk while watching his warriors eliminate every seer and target.
