Chap 40 - Witness

Supatra, with a hint of concern, addressed Lángrén, “You’re not Under the harsh daylight, the group of transformed werewolves stood in the battle aftermath. Towering nearby were the two nine-foot giant corpses, resembling butchered cave trolls, and scattered around were the lifeless forms of six vampires they had successfully defeated. The jungle reflected the carnage they had wrought.

Renai, whose Icelandic features are now unveiled in human form, stood tall and regal. Her fair skin, flushed with exertion, bore a sense of strength and resilience.

Alongside her, Monika’s fusion of Polish and African heritage radiated through her. Her eyes, like pools of rich earth, reflected a mix of determination and weariness.

Lángrén, the Chinese-American werewolf, stood slightly apart, her gaze fixed on the fallen foes, her expression clouded with conflicted emotions.

Supatra, the Thai-Norwegian werewolf, surveyed the scene with a subtle hint of concern etching her features. Lily and Anna, the omega wolves, shifted to human form and were embraced in the midst of this surreal tableau, their beauty untouched by the brutality of the battle.

With the wind tousling their hair and dappled sunlight casting intriguing shadows, the werewolf sisters exhibited no modesty in their nudity. Confidence radiated from them, warriors unburdened by human societal norms. Their bodies bore the confidence of warriors. As they moved, the world created a living canvas of feminine strength.

Lángrén, her discomfort palpable, grumbled, “This is fruitless.” Her eyes shifted from the corpses to her companions, her reluctance evident in her body language. Her emotions etched across her face and movements.

Renai’s body was accentuated by the glow of the rising day, her porcelain skin glowing as she surveyed the carnage. Her emotions etched across her face and movements. She grumbled, turning away from the dead bodies with a hint of distaste.

Supatra sensed Lángrén’s unease and addressed her with a hint of concern and amusement. “You’re not enjoying this? Revel at the moment, Lángrén.”

Lángrén, weariness weighing down her voice, replied, “That’s it. How can I slaughter and then dance in the blood?”

Sensing her turmoil, Supatra probed further, concerned for her packmate. “You don’t feel anything?”

As they huddled together, their bodies casting shadows against the gruesome backdrop. Lángrén sighed, weariness evident in her every word. “I can’t take much more of this. We’re just slaughtering them. No honor or nobleness involved. It’s crazy.”

Supatra, puzzled, sought to understand. “That we annihilate these terrors? How can that be crazy?”

Monika, resolute, chimed in, “We follow orders, live to serve. It’s our duty to fight and protect the humans.”

Weariness wore Lángrén’s voice down an octave. “Duty... I used to believe in it. But with all this bloodshed, I can’t help but question the purpose of it all.”

Hesitantly, Supatra replied, “Honestly, I understand your struggle, but we can’t afford to waver now. There’s something bigger at play, and we must trust the Get.”

Lángrén clarified, gesturing to the battlefield, “Honest? All of this is. We’ve almost exterminated all of them.” She waved her hands at the gruesome reality of the battle. “We are slipping into the violent nature of the very prey we hunt.” The tension among them echoed in the stillness.

"This is crazy." Renai leaned against a tree, picking at her nails.

Lángrén caught Renai’s gaze. “Not really. It feels like it. Crazy insane. Lángrén walked towards them, her voice low but determined. “We cannot give up now. We must trust the Get.” She paused, her voice gentle. “We must trust Antonio.”

Supatra chimed in, questioning. "Crazy?"

"Yeah. Burning ourselves out to protect the humans." Lángrén spoke as she paced back and forth. Her fiery hair cascading down her back, paced like a caged tigress, her eyes gleaming with a yearning that had nothing to do with the hunt.

Monika watched Lángrén movement, pondering in thought. “Does it feel like we’re protecting them anymore? While there are monsters that can be reasoned with, it’s clear that most of them would gladly slaughter the humans. They are numbered enough and have weapons of their own."

"Why not go back and let these humans contend with the leftovers?” Lángrén countered.

Enigmatically, Supatra showed her mindset as she stated, "We’re not born to bring out the sweetness."

Lángrén pointed out the shifting dynamics they had noticed, “Hunters. Prey. But don’t you sense the shift from guardians to something else?”

Supatra replied with conviction, “We live to serve. We all do. We’ve done our duties, and we will continue, and that is enough.”

With sadness, Lángrén raised a sensitive topic. The slices of sunlight through the jungle canopy cast flickering shadows on the faces of the women huddled together. Lángrén, her normally vibrant eyes veiled with longing, traced patterns on the ground with a twig. The silence stretched, thick with unspoken thoughts, until she finally confessed, “I dream of children, of tiny fingers curled around mine."

Supatra raised a knowing eyebrow. “We are not chained to the pack, little sister. Though Antonio..." Her voice trailed off, leaving the Werewolf King’s name to hang heavy in the air. "Does he know of your... desires?”

“I watched the human family today,” she confessed, her voice husky with a foreign emotion. “The way they loved on their pups, the way their laughter echoed through the woods... it made me ache.”

Lángrén chewed on her lip as her cheeks flushed. “I haven’t gotten around to telling him. We’ve been busy wrapping up this mess." Her shoulders slumped. “Besides, we’ve been busy,” she mumbled, her eyes downcast.

Monika, the eldest, reached out and squeezed Lángrén’s hand. “The Seraphim chose us for a reason, sister. This wolf business, blending with the humans – it’s Antonio’s part of the plan. Ours is different. But you, Lángrén, were meant for more."

A subtle tension hummed beneath the surface. Supatra’s smile had a brittle edge as she interjected, “And what, pray tell, is Lángrén’s grand purpose? Knitting tiny wolf booties?"

Lángrén’s cheeks flushed. Renai nudged Lángrén with her elbow. “Don’t worry, Lángrén,” she chirped, her voice bubbling with mischief. “Maybe Antonio will surprise you with a litter of pups for your next birthday! Imagine... little wolf cubs with your fiery hair and his piercing blue eyes!”

Lángrén snorted, a smile flickering across her lips. “Now that’s a nightmare I wouldn’t wish on anyone,"

Supatra, with her eyes as sharp as her claws, shot Lángrén a curious glance. “Children? You, of all wolves, Lángrén?”

“Not pups,” she clarified, her gaze fixed on the swirling eyes around her. "A family. Laughter, tiny hands... I've been craving it."

Monika, her voice as soft as falling snow, placed a comforting hand on Lángrén’s shoulder. “Our purpose is to protect them, Lángrén. Perhaps that’s enough.”

But Lángrén shook her head, her eyes resolute. “I want more. I want to build a home, a family of my own.”
