Through their journeys, Astrid and Luna must confront rival packs, rogue leaders, and internal conflicts, all while remaining true to the values and traditions of their pack.
The full moon loomed above, an otherworldly gleam blanketing the little town of Ashwood. It was just another night, but for Luca' family it was a night that would change them forever.
P382 – Luca: The patriarch; a fair and just man beloved by his friends. He was a werewolf too, and that was a secret he kept to himself, away from the rest of the world.
As Luca was heading home after meeting the elder of the town, a pack of rogue werewolves attacked him. They brutalized him, beating him up and leaving him for dead.
Luca's sons Alessandro and Leonardo discovered their father's corpse and were overwhelmed with grief and rage. They had always admired their father as a role model, and his death was a crushing blow.
The eldest son, Alessandro, vowed to kill the slayer of his father. He vowed that he would find the rogue werewolves and make them pay for his crime.
Leonardo, however, was overcome with impotence. He felt that he should've been able to protect his father.
While the brothers mourned the death of their father, they knew their lives would be forever changed. They were in a daze the rest of the night, trying to process everything that had happened.
The following morning, Alessandro and Leonardo visited the town elder to report their father had died. The older man was gutted and torn with emotion upon hearing the news, and vowed to use his influence and connections to help get the brothers justice.
For the next few hours, Alessandro and Leonardo gathered information and clues, retracing their father's steps. They knew they had better speak to the townspeople, they had to ask if anyone had seen or heard anything out of the ordinary.
It was when the sun set that Alessandro and Leonardo came home tired and drained. They were aware of the long and painful path that stretched before them, but they were resolute in their search for justice for their father.
In the days that followed, Alessandro and Leonardo kept pursuing the circumstances of their father's death. They pursued leads, interviewed witnesses and collected evidence.
Yet no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't seem to dig up any hard evidence leading them to what happened to their father. The rogue werewolves had disappeared like smoke.
But Alessandro and Leonardo were frustrated and discouraged, and refused to quit. They felt they had to find justice for their father, no matter how monumental a task it seemed.
And so they sought and searched, fueled in their persistence and their love for their father.
He set out in earnest to investigate his father's murder. Every waking moment, he was gathering intelligence, chasing down leads and interviewing witnesses.
As for Leonardo, he was having trouble adjusting to his new normal. He was lost and alone, not knowing how to carry on without his father.
However, as Alessandro continued to dig, he uncovered that the rogue werewolves were under the command of a shadowy mastermind known simply as "The Alpha." Alessandro was no party to this scene of slaughter; he was intent on finding The Alpha and bringing him to justice.
But the more he dug, the more Alessandro figured out that The Alpha could be smart and merciless. He had a legion of loyal followers, and he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.
Alessandro realized he was in for the fight of his life. But he was determined to win at all costs.
For weeks, Alessandro and Leonardo scoured through surveillance footage, transaction records, and emergency calls, piecing together a case against The Alpha. They spoke to witnesses, collected physical evidence and reconstructed the events of the night their father was murdered.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't get their hands on the one thing they needed to take down The Alpha. It was as if he had made his trail too obscured.
Alessandro and Leonardo were disappointed, defeated, but they did not give up. They felt they were going to be killing him again if they couldn't give him justice, no matter how big the job was.
But they kept searching for him, motivated by their love for their father.
Alessandro figured out that there were several suspects in the murder of his father. There was Marcus, a rival werewolf with a vendetta against Luca. And there was Victor, the newcomer in town, who was getting suspicious.
Alessandro, whether he knew about the murder or not. Marcus claimed he didn't have anything to do with it, but Alessandro wasn't buying it.
But as Alessandro walked out of Marcus's house he felt like someone was watching him. He glanced around and saw nothing.
The next stop was Victor's house, Alessandro. Victor's disposition was nervous and agitated, and that set off Alessandro's alarms.
"What do you know about my father's murder?" Alessandro said, his tone strong but steady.
Victor shook his head. "I don't know nothing," he said. "I swear."
Victor did not meet his eye, so Alessandro inspected Victor's face for signs of falseness. But Victor's expression felt genuine.
Alessandro returned home from Victor's not quite sure how to feel about what had just happened. He couldn't escape the thought that Victor was concealing something, but he has no way of verifying it.
On the way back to his house, Alessandro saw the man behind him again. He quickened his pace, but the figure matched him step for step.
Alessandro turned to face the intruder, prepared for battle. But it turned out, to his surprise, that the figure was Leonardo.
"What are you doing?" Alessandro said, voice low and steady.
"I was following you," Leonardo replied. I just wanted to check to see if you're OK."
Alessandro grinned; brotherly love was all he needed. "Thanks," he said. "But I can look after myself."
Leonardo nodded, though Alessandro could see that his brother was still worried.
A few hundred yards from their house, as they walked one after the other, Alessandro was still rappelling back down the mountain when that sensation crept back to him: He was being watched. He scanned the area, but saw nothing.
But that sense lingered, and Alessandro realized that he needed to be careful. He was on the verge of cracking it - and he realized the killer had no limits to keep him from discovering it.
