Unnamed

Hahaha! That's more like it" oldman Jack laughed uproariously. The laugh added flames to Derek's anger.

Derek's angular jaw extended to a wolf head, his chest expanded – becoming broader and muscular as he added some inches to his height. The shoe he wore burst apart and was replaced with powerful paws. But, luckily his track suit seems to be specially made for this transformation, other than tightening on his torso it held steadfast.

Charging at oldman jack, he opened his arms trying to catch oldman jack in his arms. Like an electric eel oldman Jack slipped under his arms and gave him a jab at the kidney that made him keel over, but he was able to maintain his center of balance.

"I think that's enough fun for today" Derek heard, as his world turned upside down.

"Stand in formation and practice your punches, will you enter the formation or do you need my help" Derek heard when he woke up.

"No sir" he said groggily, wiping his hand across his face to stay more awake he jogged and joined the twenty cadet formation.

After an hour of punch exercises, they were stopped by oldman jack.

" Today, I would like to teach you how to fight in your warrior form," pausing to allow what he said to sink in, he continued.

"As we all know we werewolves have three forms" he said and raised his three fingers. "The human form, the animal form and the warrior form!" he called out as he brought down a finger per form.

"But first choose a sparring partner, and familiarize yourself with each other. Because from today you would be comrade in arms, and have to entrust your lives to each other at some point in time," old man jack said solemnly.

Alpha's office

A tall figure could be seen standing in front of the open french window smoking a large cuban cigarette. Who is none other than Achilles.

The door of the office opened and closed admitting Nicholas, but Achilles didn't bother to check who it was.

"You sent for me, Alpha," Nicholas said respectfully. Taking a deep puff of the cigarette, then releasing it to the air. Achilles turned and faced Nicholas blocking the sun rays with his impressive figure.

"Have you ever thought what would happen to me, when Derek grows up?" he asked Nicholas, casually. The question surprised Nicholas.

"I've never thought of it, Alpha," he replied respectfully. Giving a deep sigh, Achilles walked closer to Nicholas and swung his hand on his shoulder.

"You know what Nick, can you stop this Alpha stuff let's talk like friends," he said. But all he received from Achilles was a wry smile who shook his head in resignation.

Achilles moved to the table and chair at the further end of the room. Sitting on the desk he looked at Nicholas. "How do you think I should defuse this ticking bomb?" he asked Nicholas.

"I don't think there's a way, Kyros has too much prestige. He's basically immune to all our schemes" Nicholas said while shaking his head.

"What if I say I know how to get rid of this so-called prestige, are you with me?" Achilles asked with an evil smirk, making him look malevolent.

"I don't know about your plan alpha, this is basically impossible" Nicholas Shaked his head in disagreement.

"The glorious kyros, conniving with the vampires. And used the attack on the vampire twenty years ago as a cover up, but actually provided the vampires with the blood of our dead members for their dirty rituals. Do you think that would work?" Achilles asked with the same evil smirk.

Hearing what Achilles said, Nicholas felt his heart beat increase in excitement but calmed down immediately. "That's just lip service, you may be able to kill them with that excuse but the clan members would be divided, we wouldn't want that," Nicholas said regretfully.

"What if I can provide solid evidence?" Achilles asked. "I would have to think about this, I would give you an answer within three days" Nicholas replied.

"No problem, there's no rush, don't keep me waiting" Achilles nodded in agreement.

"If I may take your leave, I would be going," Nicholas said. "Ok go on," Achilles said with a wave of his hand, while he stood and went behind the desk to sit on the swivel chair.

"If not because I want to complete this mission without a hitch, do you think I would invite a low life like you," Achilles muttered to himself, with an undisguised disdain when Nicholas left the office.

Crescent barrack - training square

"Introduce yourselves to each other," oldman Jack said with his hands behind his back as he assumed the posture of a senior educating his juniors.

"Hi, my name Cassandra," a short girl in the front row introduced herself bashfully. The earlier exercise made her cheeks glow with vigor, displaying her youthfulness completely.

"The name's Jason," said the tall boy Derek tried to hide at his back earlier. He has the physique of a basketball player and a sunny smile. Typically the ladies type.

"Micheal"

"Peter"

"Sunless but you can call me sunny" the boy beside Derek introduced himself. He has this dark and gloomy vibes with hair bangs covering almost half of his face.

"...." the rest introduced themselves.

"Now, Derek and Jason would be partners, Peter and Sunless …" old man Jack grouped them by twos.

"Let me tell you that this grouping is not permanent. I can decide to reshuffle the group anytime" old man Jack said. "For the first sparring session, Peter and Sunless," old man Jack said as the group shifted back leaving an empty space for them to fight in.

Peter, an average looking youth with a crew haircut and the gloomy looking sunless stood facing each other in the eye of the encircled crowd, wanted to pull off their uniform but was stopped by oldman Jack.

"Go on and transform, the uniform is stretchable" oldman jack said barely holding his excitement in.

"Okay" said both of them.

"Hi, my name is Peter .." Peter said with a smile, with his hand extended for a handshake. But his smile turned stiff…
