Monstrous Sarang - 1

Author's POV

Thundering with the low grunting of the lightning along with the shower of rain, a mind-boggling scream went off followed by a male's voice that called from the other side. 

' Oh, Mrs Cain, sorry that your husband wanted me to inform you that he wouldn't be making it home today on time.  ' 

' Don't worry, Mrs Cain. I'll take good care of him Throughout the night. He denounced us an hour ago, so as the kindest prince, I'm in honour of doing something that cannot be forgotten by your whole family even for ages. I'll tell him goodbye on your behalf, Mrs Cain. Thank you. ' 

Mr Cain who was on the floor struggling to breathe with boots stomping over his throat like a rock looked up, terrified. 

Over him was a handsome young man in his late twenties seated on an armchair wearing a neat white suit that was sprinkled with a few red droplets of Cain's blood. He looked down at Mr Cain with a toothy grin showing off his darkened ebony eyes.

" Good for you Mr Cain that you were able to hear your wife's voice for the last time. " 

" No! " Mr Cain screamed when he pressed his boot shoe on his throat. The intense pain made Mr Cain shuffle searching for something to hold on to. He desperately tried to take a breath for a whole minute only to stop in the meanwhile. 

Cain's eyes ghosted the ceiling as the prince stepped back snickering to himself. Men in black rushed inside the chamber escorting the now dead Mr Cain where he belongs. 

" Your highness, " A woman called bowing down to the prince who immediately gave her a warm smile as if he didn't murder a person a minute ago. 

" What is it? " The prince husked with the same smile. She stood up with a parchment scroll in her hand that had a symbol of a majestic green wolf. 

" The Royal King has sent you his invitation for a royal assembly in the north, Your Highness. " She simply said before reading out the parchment in a loud voice. 

" Dear Prince Yongchul, 

As per the growing contraction between our countries we as the elders want to sign a peace treaty with you and your country. We never want to hurt any of our peasants and children. If that's fine, we request you to come and join us in the royal assembly of our neighbour royals in Northern Cambodia. 

Yours faithfully

The Kings of Cambodia " 

Prince Yongchul smiled, rubbing his temple as if he was thinking. His lips tugged upward in a smile. No one would've expected the royal kings to send him an invitation to sign a peace treaty with the countries which have always been in conflict for more than a millennium. 

" Write them a parchment back. I'm– " Before Yongchul could tell her what he wanted her to write, he felt a heat rush through his veins up to his brain. 

" Get out! " He growled to the woman who looked startled but immediately bounded out of the chamber within seconds. 

' Yongchul-ah, ' A croaky voice more like a half-whisper sounded deep inside from Yongchul's brain. He took a breath. 

" Yes, Majesty. " 

' You don't need to attend the assembly. ' The voice of his majesty said more like ordered. 

" Okay, Majesty. " Yongchul didn't question back but agreed with a single nod. 

' The assembly's not going to happen. The disaster is coming to dawn. ' 

Yongchul's eyebrows met in confusion but soon he bit his upper lip in realisation. The disaster. 

" He's coming. " 

Deep down under an icy cold mountain, a beautiful steel castle stood up proud surrounded by a bunch of bamboo trees. The castle was darkened due to the lack of light they used and the lack of people who'd need the light inside. 

In a far corner from the door, a sleepy but scary pair of eyes opened on their own. The grey pupil of the male was dark with reddened veins going around as if he was crying a minute ago. He had dark patches of bags under his eyes due to the starvation or abuse he went through.  

He looked around a bit without concern. He didn't even startle by the pitch dark surrounding. He didn't move. He was seated still on a corner with chains cuffing around his hands and legs to the wall. 

He slowly blinked his eyes while his legs automatically moved to bring him up to his feet. The steel chains made a sound that didn't go unnoticed by a pair of ears. 

" My son's finally awake! " He could hear a male screaming from the top of his lungs far away from him. He couldn't help but smile a little before closing his eyes for a temporary sleep with the hurrying footsteps still sounding afar. 

After 20 Years,

" You grumbling fish, I dare you to stop right there! " The growling alpha ran in between the trees trying his best to tackle the one who was running before him. But it was even harder for the wolf because the running figure was faster than a cheetah. 

" If I get you myself you can't even rot– " 

On getting irritated by the Alpha's constant blabbering the running figure stopped all of a sudden led the Alpha to get his head smacked on a tree branch. 

He fell with a groan. The running figure stepped before lunging over him. 

" I dare you to get up, " The male's deep chuckle rang around the Alpha's eardrum as he opened his eyes only to gulp at the sight. 

Over him was a tall slender male with a chiselled face wearing a white jacket who had a dagger pressed to the Alpha's throat. He had a bucket hat that still stayed on his head even after all the running the did. His jawline was sharper than the Alpha's eyesight as he was astonished by the shining grey eyes. 

" Who are you?! " The alpha finally growled trying to thrash around. But the chiselled face pressed the dagger a little further drawing a line of blood on his throat which made that obvious as he'd do anything even further. He was much stronger than the Alpha on the ground. 

" You shouldn't have warned my boss when you knew that I'll be coming for you. " He whispered leaning to his ear when the Alpha shivered, realising who he was. 

" Ray– " 

His throat was sliced into two before he could make a statement. When the guy stood up to leave the place with a content sigh he suddenly heard something around him. 

His ears perked up as his nose suddenly flared when all of a sudden a loud gasp was heard. He tilted his head up to face a girl's back who was running away from him as if she just has witnessed a murder, which she actually did.

His hands unzipped his jacket and took the bucket hat away from his head. He shook and tilted his head to straighten his messy raven hair. 

His long and rough fingers took the glasses out of his eyes. His raven hair cast upon his face which hid his eyes made him look more intimidating and interesting. He is Rayon,

His mobile vibrated indicating him that he had a call. He fished out of his pocket to press it up to his ear. 

" Hello? " 

...

" mission cleared successfully as I said. "

…

" It was easier than the other missions I ever did. "

...

" Yeah, I didn't notice the girl. but she is not that important here. " 

...

" She wouldn't cause any problems. Because she didn't see me.

...

" Don't ask what-ifs, what-ifs again. I said she didn't see me and that's final. " He said, tightening his fist as if he was getting ready to fight off whoever is ready to argue with him.

...

" It's okay but inform K to contact me. I need some information about the girl. " He tried his best to sound calm. 

...

" There's nothing suspicious about it, Hyung (brother). I will meet you soon in the club. later. "

After hanging up the call he tilted his head with a smirk walking away. 

The girl who ran like there's no tomorrow fell running into a tree that actually came from nowhere in her point of view as she came running while looking back to check if the killer was following her back. 

" Hey, Girl! What's wrong with you? " A girl her age came running to her to help. 

" Alishia! I saw someone murdering Alpha in the middle of the forest! He's dead! " She gasped for air screaming out what she just saw. The bright green haired late teen gave her a look of confusion. 

" Are you sure you really saw something? Maybe you had a dream? " Alishia asked. 

" No. I saw someone! He killed him! He's still there, Alishia! Get help! We might save him! " The girl screamed, asking her to believe. 

" Natasha! What's with your screaming? We're in the middle of a forest! We don't want you to attract animals to our way! " A blond-haired professor shouted cursing Natasha with a bunch of students behind her back who were laughing at the girl. 

" Mrs Celina, There's a murderer in the forest who killed Alpha Jack! " On hearing what she said Celina shrieked, passing outright at her feet, startling every other student. 

Natasha Dark is 19 years old with long leather black hair. She's a thin 5'4 inched college human student who came to a forest for a field trip with her werewolf classmates who were now guarding their campsite and calling for help as their only professor Celina fell unconscious by the shocking news.

Within minutes people were rushing inside the forest. Alishia, Natasha's friend was right behind her looking at everything nervously. 

The police who just finished raiding the murder spot, now came rushing for Natasha. 

Natasha's POV

" Can you hear me, Ms ? Can you tell me your name? " The cop asked, clearly looking serious. 

" I'm Na- " 

Before I could answer something strong pulled me into a tight embrace followed by the sound of loud breathing. I panicked a little but then I realised that it was my big brother, Daniel Dark.

He's a little bit taller than me, with dark brown hair. He looks exactly like how a cop should be. Not going to talk about his overly widened eyes and pursed lips, probably because of him thinking about me like what I'll be doing or what I'm drinking or something that is concerning me for at least a couple of hours once in a day. 

Nevermind. Daniel is a higher official cop. He's pretty sincere and a good one. I can guarantee.  Until last week he was on an official mission. So I didn't see him anywhere in these 7 days.

But he came all over here leaving those duties aside? 

I wrapped my hands around him and rested my head on his shoulder to make him relax. He relaxed a little and pulled me away from him to take a define look. 

"  Are you okay, kiddo? Did he hurt you somewhere?" he asked in a hurried tone and checked me whether I was hurt by the killer somewhere

" I'm- " 

Before I could answer again, the cop who just questioned me interrupted me by saluting my older brother.

" I didn't expect you here Mr Daniel. Do you know her? " he asked with confusion as my brother pointed at me.

" Yes. She is my sister Natasha Dark, " Daniel answered him and turned towards me for answers to his own questions.

" I'm alright, Dan. He didn't hurt me. I informed the murder to my classmates. " I said to him in a clean voice as his are-you-really-okay-my-little-sister look didn't fade away.

" Did you see him? Do you know who he is? " I could figure out a light excitement in my brother's voice. but I couldn't guess what it was for. I shook my head.

He frowned a little and the cop was still looking at us.

" I- I didn't see him. I just ran away the second I saw Alpha Jack's scream died down. " Daniel patted me on my shoulder. 

 " Be here. I'll be back in a few minutes. " 

Daniel said and left with the cop for further formalities. 

" Girl, I'm leaving with my boyfriend. He's waiting for me. Get home safe, okay? " Alishia hugged me before running away to catch up with our classmates. 

In a few minutes, Daniel picked me up with his black car. I hopped over to the front and leaned my head on the seat. He drove his car back to our home.

Going home with my brother on my side. It's been days. 

" I missed you, brother. How have you been without me throughout this whole week? "

" I missed you too, princess. What else to do sweetie? That's what my duty is to. " he ruffled my hair with a smile. 

" Huh, I'm feeling alone whenever you aren't in the house, Dan! " I said with a fake sad pout and leaned on his shoulder.

" So what can we do, kiddo? Can you accompany me to my office from tomorrow? " he asked in a playful tone as he already knew that I hate his office like hell.

" Mch. No. I need a companion in our house. The companion should be with me as a friend. well-wisher. Sibling and so on. "

" I'm there as a companion and I'm fully fit for all your conditions, right? " His question was directed to me when his sight was on the road.

" Yup. But you aren't always with me. So I need a companion like my brother's wife! " I screamed and jumped in the seat.

" Hey sit down, kiddo. Why do- wait, what!? " he stopped the car with a sudden break and saw me with a full shock reaction on his face. I tried not to laugh.

" You need what?? " he asked again in a frightened tone. Oh, my baby brother. I laughed inside and looked at him furiously.

" Yes! I need a companion like my brother's wife. " I said sternly and began to laugh at his facial expressions.

" Haan, baby brother. I'm just kidding! " He snapped my head without pain 

"You better be. "

 He muttered and started the car with a smile.

" Brother's smile noted, " I said playfully.

We are not like ' saw a murder a few hours ago ' right? Yup we were familiar with this. our father Mr Brutal Dark is an army man who died when I was a year old and our mother Mrs Iyaana Brutal Dark is also a righteous detective and a lovely mother who didn't come back after her last mission which happened 15 years ago.

Daniel, my brother, is the one who raised me from the age of 4. When I was 4 he was just a normal college student who didn't know anything about life. Our father's death and mother's absence made us learn about the clueless path of life.

Daniel is my dad, mom, brother, sister, friend, enemy and everything to me. Other than him nothing can be important to me in my life.

Until he arrived
