Chapter 10

Fitri

My eyes widened and my body prepared to slam my knife into the wolf’s back, but Eliseo grabbed me and pulled me toward him.

We both watched as the old man bit into the wolf’s neck and drank his blood. What the hell? The beast whined as he shoved him aside and stood up, chin coated in crimson. His crazed eyes looked wilder with burst blood vessels. I frowned when I noticed that his body looked different—like it gained some weight. How was this possible?

The wolves all howled in unison, rattling the side of the walls, and sent shivers down my spine.

“Do an old fool a favor and come closer. My eyes aren’t what they used to be,” he goaded, his finger doing the come-hither motion.

Hell fucking no.

Eliseo pulled a gun out of the waist of his pants and pointed it at him. This would grab the attention of the whole compound if he fired a shot.

The old man cackled and pulled the chain out the wooden pillar with barely any effort. Is he…

“I see it in your eye, girl.” He walked around us, circling with his wolves, dragging the chain with him loudly across the floor. His eyes flicked to Eliseo as he tsks. “Now, you know that will bring everyone out of their quiet homes. Who knows what these crazy people are up to with how they so easily sacrifice their members for what they deem as a good cause? They think I don’t know, but I know. A man leading a cult this easily? It was easy to figure out.”

One of the wolves lunged at us and snapped their jaws, taunting. When it closed its jaw, I kicked its head hard, making it whimper and skitter away. Throwing a knife at it, it lodged into its side, but didn't stop it from circling.

This old man had a strong hold on their minds for them to ignore injuries.

“Now why would you go and do that? You should be grateful that I let them spare you. Three human bodies a month isn’t enough to sustain them, you see.” The old man’s voice was no longer raspy, and his back was no longer hunched over.

“Fuck this shit,” Eliseo said out loud, right as he shot the old man in the chest, the sound resonating into the night. His body slammed onto the wolf that still lay there, making him yip in further suffering.

The rest of the wolves growled and snarled, going crazy with no direction. The old man groaned and rolled as he brought himself back to standing. The bloody wound on his left pec spewed blood as he fingered the hole with a hiss and sucked on his blood-coated finger.

“You’re making me excited, human. All this entertainment in one night.” The old man leapt and landed on Eliseo’s shoulder, his claws dug into his flesh, ripped it away, and dropped him to the ground.

Eliseo cried out in pain as my heart beat out of my chest and my body temperature rose from fury.
