THE BETA

His name was Morcant.

He was a young adventurous lad whose desire for adventure could never be quenched. He lived with his parents in Houston, Texas and attended the Central High School. With blonde hair, blue eyes, fairly pointed nose and exclusively pink lips, one could say he was one handsome dude. He was once recommended for modeling to advertise a New york brand but he wasn't interested.

Today he was graduating from high school. Seeing the was he was happy, I e would have thought he had a date that evening which was rampant among graduands. But something else was behind his happiness.

Drawx stood high upon the mountains, watching his pack from a distance. It was joyous. Everyone went about his or her own business. From he, the Alpha to the least, Omega, no one caused chaos. For thirteen years, there hadn't been war.

The meat from the hunt the previous night had been shared that morning among all the families in the pack. Since then,other things that had been done were the cutting of logs and making of clothes.

But he feared.....

He feared that his once peaceful pack will soon become a war ground. He glanced at the scroll in his hand again.

"Lothar!"

"Yes Alpha."

"Announce a meeting for the wolf council."

★★★★★

"Hey Morcant!" Fred greeted.

"Hi what's up?"

"Nothing much." Fred replied. "Just excited."

"Who wouldn't be?" Morcant intoned.

They both walked to the inner most part of the school that housed the event hall. Morcant was dressed in a blue suit and Fred in black.

★★★★

The cabin was quiet. Everyone was thinking. The wolf council was in distress.

"So what do we do?" Elder Xavier asked.

"I don't know." Drawx said "You know this guy's are tricky, we don't know what plan they'll come up with again."

"They're bastards." A wolf spat. "Why would they want to ruin a whole thirteen years of peace and tranquility." A cough stopped the murmurings. It was from Gwen, the Luna. No one could could question her. Everyone in the pack knew that cough. That cough was enough to silent the whole pack matter how silent it was.

Gwen was next to Drawx in the body of power. She was looking like an Alpha but cos she was female, she was called the Luna. She was in charge of the warriors and was wondering the strongest wolf in the pack. Drawx was mostly in charge of the administrative aspect.

"Since those bars have something up their sleeves,we too won't relax." Gwen said in a authoritative tone. She was more feared than Drawx. Drawx was lenient and free to move with. On the other hand, Gwen was cold and rarely smiled. Her smiles were mostly mischievous. Only a few like Drawx,Elder Xavier and Erica,her friend had seen her smile heartily.

As a pup,she separated herself from others and got joy in boyish plays.

"Okay, we'll recruit new warriors which would include two omegas." Drawx announced and was replied with murmurings.

"An Omega?"

Everyone knew who omegas were. They were the laziest,most useless and cunning wolves. They were weak and had bad habits like sleeping too much. The wolf council knew even one omega would be a liability to the army not to talk of two.

"SILENCE!!!" Drawx roared."That's my decision and it's final."

Everyone became quiet.

Morcant walks to his room after the celebration of his graduation. He was over excited. While taking off his clothes,he calls Fred.

"Hi Fred, are you set?"

"Yes."

"Okay meet at my house tomorrow morning."

"Right." He drops the call.

Gwen sips from her tea as she watches the two brothers before her. She rarely invited people into her cabin but when she did, it was for something crucial and today was one of those days.

"Omegas." She says, dropping the cup of tea in her hand. Before her were Tim and Kim,two omega brothers. They were unsettled and restless but she didn't mind.

She brings out a can from her pocket. It was blue in colour.

"What is that?" Tim asks.

"A perfume." Gwen answers sharply.

"You mean you called us here to show us a perfume." Kim says.

"Did Drawx tell you you're joining the troop."

"Yes." Tim says. "We hate fighting."

"But can you sneak?" Gwen asks

"Yes."Kim says

"It's our habit."

"You guys are gonna be spies." The duo were shocked.

"What?"

"Yes spies."

"On who?"

"Vampires." Gwen responds, taking another sip from her tea.

"Okay but how are we gonna do that? They'll definitely recognize our scent." Tim says.

Gwen smiles. She knew it.

Although omegas were slothful and lazy. They had brains.

"That's the essence of the perfume."

"Will it make our scent disappear?"

"Precisely."

"So how and where are we gonna see the vamps." Gwen brings out two beads from her pocket.

"What are those? Beads?" Kim asks.

"Yes but not ordinary ones. They're called LINKERS and there are only three in the whole universe." She shows them her left hand. On it was a red coloured bead that was glowing. It had three white beads in the middle..

"Where did you get it?"

"None of your business."

"So how'll this help us."

"You'll know." Gwen says. "No one must know of this mission. Meet me here at dawn."

ÓÓÓÓÓ

"Dad! Mom!" Morcant shouts. It was his parents.

"I've missed you guys so much."

"We've missed you too son." Dr Radolph says.

"Too bad you didn't attend my graduation." Morcant complains.

"We were planning on coming yesterday but our flight got delayed, we're sorry son." Kate says.

"Okay."

********Gwen picks up a bag and moves out of her cabin. She meets Rim and Kim at the door. Together they walked to the borders. The brothers were whistling.

"Shut it sloths." Gwen shouts and they both clamp their mouth shut. Soon they get to the borders. Gwen opens the bag as she puts it down to reveal it's content.

They were clothes.... Not ordinary clothes but the type worn by people in the city. The modern ones.

"You'll were these."

"How did you get them?"

"None of your business." She says." Now take off your clothes." They both look at her.

"What?" They chorus and she glares at them, partially revealing her fangs. That was more than a thousand spoken warnings.

"Okay." They start taking off their clothes while Gwen looks. After they finish dressing,she gives them a warning.

"Don't take off these beads, you know the full moon is tonight. They'll protect you from the effect of the werewolf curse."

"Right."

She sprays the perfume on their body and hands them the beads.

"Wear them."

The brothers wear the beads and feel a tingling sensation all over their bodies.

"Oh it tickles." Tim says

"Quit playing and start going."

★★★

Morcant and Fred had packed their bags and were about going. They were going on Fred's bike.

"Good bye dad." Morcant waves.

He takes off with Fred on a journey to the woods.

A journey....Hmph.

They crossed the bridges,over the highways until they got to their destination. But what they saw was unexpected.

★★★★★

"Hi masters." Tim and Kim were shocked. They look around.

"Who are you?." Their beads glow red. The voices were from the beads.

"My name's Linker VR0012." Tim's own says.

"Mine is VR0011."

"Our job is to link our masters with supernatural creatures. We can also make you invisible."

The duo were shocked. When they got the strength to talk,they chorus.

"YOU CAN TALK?????"

The old vampire walks into the house partially leaping.

"Welcome Yank." Ganiz said.

"Ganiz, how many times have I told you to stop calling me by name. I'm your father."

"Okay so what do you want?"

"I heard of your plans of war against the werewolves."

"Yeah that's true."

"Stop, we're no match against them. One werewolf is four times stronger than a vampire even in human form. I've fought this battle once and lost. Don't try make history happen again."

"Nope, I'm not trying to re write history. I wanna make a world record." Ganiz said and he clicked his tongue in pride.

Yank adjusted his sitting posture and asked, "And how are you gonna do that."

"I got weapons."

"What weapons?"

Ganiz stood up and walked to Yank. As he whispered in to his ear,the old vampire raised his brow in surprise.

★★★★

Gwen walked to the arsenal. It wasn't really an arsenal;it wasn't housing any weapon.

But it was called the arsenal. It housed the Brown Fur Pack's hunters and warriors.

The pack was categorized in social classes; from the Alpha and Luna to the Wolf Council then to the warriors and hunters to the clothes makers and lastly the omegas.

Gwen was in all classes except for the omegas. She was the Luna,head of the warriors and hunters, a member of the wolf council and a guru in cloth making. Their clothes were made from direct animal skin and was difficult to make. Only a few knew how to do it.

Gwen was a private cloth maker but a well known killer. She had killed fifty vampires in two minutes once ago in human form.

Next to her was Erica who was known as the Browny. The Brown haired beauty was a serial and brutal killer. The only difference between Herself and Gwen was speed. Gwen was faster than her.

She was an example of what the french called mechante.

Gwen opened the door and is greeted by Orlando the sentry captain.

"Good morning my Luna."

"Morning Orl." She responded. "Are the new recruits ready."

"Yes, twenty five in number."

*****Gwen rushed to the trio; Erica, Noaul and Raul.

"STOP!!" She commanded and Erica froze letting go of the two omegas. "You'll kill them."

"I am sorry Luna but these guys are lazy. I have been teaching them how to wield a sword for five hours now and they still hadn't gotten it." Erica blurted out.

"Leave."

"Okay." Erica left and Gwen faces the omegas who were shivering. They knew double trouble awaited them.

"Now let's get to business." Gwen said. Her voice sent shiver down their spines.

★★★

Morcant and Fred alighted as they look I'm astonishment. It was the real woods....

With trees and a waterfall

Gosh,this was what they were looking for.

"Fred, what do you think about this?"

"This is superb."

They boarded the bike and rode into the inner parts of the wood.

★★★

"Are you sure of what you saw?" Ganiz asked Lash, his right hand man.

"Yes Ganiz."

"Then I will be here waiting for them." Ganiz said smiling mischievously.

★★★★

As the two werewolves walk in to the mansion, they were flabbergasted by its beauty.

They walked around searching for anything suspicious.

Their wolf super smell didn't smell anything neither did their wolf X-ray vision see anything.

Now Omegas have the normal wolf powers, their only difference from the pack was slothful attitude. It was in their blood.

Suddenly a scent went across their nose. A perfume had been sprayed. Soon it engulfed the room and they began to feel dizzy.

Their beads were flickering red and white. Their body systems were not in good shape.

"I wanna puke." Kim said

"Me too."

They dropped to the ground, unconscious. As their eyes went closed,they could see a man standing over them.

******

Gwen touched the bead on her left hand as she thought of Tim and Kim. She hoped nothing happened to them.

Although she detested the Omegas' laziness, she loved her pack. She didn't want to loose anyone. She thought of the full moon that night.

It had always been an advantage for them in terms of hunting.

She thought of how Tim and Kim would be coping with food. Language wasn't a problem but food was. She prayed that they shouldn't fuck up.

As her mind raced with thoughts,she noticed someone enter her cabin.

"Gwen."

Only two people could call her that; Drawx and Elder Xavier. It was one of them who entered the room.

"How are you?" She recognized the voice.

"Fine Elder."

"Just wanted to greet you."

"Yea thanks."

★★★★

Tim's eyes flared open. He was in a dark room, illuminated with a dim light. His eyes ran about the room. It was filled with Knives, Swords,lots of torturing tools and flowers.

They were green in colour and had purple buds. His eyes went to the left side and he saw transparent jars filled with purple liquids.

Soon a man entered the room with a sword.

"Good day lous--ies."

He picked a sword and dipped it in the flower. He moved close to Tim and stabbed him on the thigh.

"HAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"
