Chapter 20: Dark Shadows

Days after the memorial service that finally laid the remains of her three closest friends to rest after years of being lost. Days after she saw Asgard for the first time, met the rest of her long lost family, and nearly lost her grandmother Frigga to the Dark Elves. Tera began to look for Ajax. She knew that he was at the memorial because of his grandfather was laid to rest at last. She had picked up his scent "Ajax." she growled as she followed him into an alleyway only to see Deadpool there.

Wade Wilson was an odd man always talking to the author of any story he may or may not pop up in "Oh Francis. Looks like she gets the first crack at you." said Deadpool before he turned to no one, "This is why you don't fuck with a woman who can become a giant ass wolf who can tear your face off."

"Are you talking to the readers again?" Ajax asked

"Yes, yes I am. Now I make my heroic exit." Deadpool said and pointed at the window, "Out that window."

Deadpool took a running leap out of the window which was around sixty feet in the air and landing face first on the ground below "LOOK MA, I'M ROAD KILL! HAHAHA!"

Tera shook her head and looked at Ajax "Who hired you?" she asked

"A shadow from your past, one that you never wanted to see or hear of again," Ajax said

"What do you mean my that boy?" Ryan Rumlow growled

"Something is coming. A new world order, anyone standing in their way will be hunted down and killed. They will use anything in their arsenal to accomplish this goal including their greatest weapon." said Ajax

"What is this weapon?" she asked crossing her arms

"You met him before in '91 when he attacked Howard and his wife." said Ajax as he threw a flash bang in the air.

Tera growled and covered her eyes as the thing went off when it was safe Ajax was gone. She let out a snarl "I swear one of these days Ajax. Your ass will be stuffed and mounted out side of my manner as a warning to people who piss me off." she growled.

DXDXDXDXDX

Steve waited for Tera to arrive home when she finally had done so, he sat up "Hey, what is it?" he asked

"Nothing, other than Ajax pulling a stunt his grandfather would and hauled ass." she growled.

Steve got off the couch he had been sitting on and walked over to her and began to rub her shoulders. As she sat in the chair. Tera let out a continent moan as he worked her tired muscles. The Alpha with in Steve was wagging its tail happily that they were bringing comfort to their mate. Steve had time to adjust to his new found connection to the wolf within him and would often spend time reading over some of the old books Tera had written about other males she had met and the changes they would go through when their Alpha woke up. Most of it was a need to please the Alpha male or in his case Female of the group. The way he guessed it was both blessed and cursed wolves could pick up on a dormant wolf gene with in a person. Blessed wolves had the ability to bring this gene out in a person slowly getting the person antiquated with their wolf kin that was trapped with in them. While cursed wolves, on the other hand, forced the wolf out thus causing the human and the wolf to be at odds with each other "Steve, I smell the burning oil from your brain pan, what's on your mind?" she asked

"I was thinking about something, now I don't know a lot about Werewolves and such, but I grateful there is a connection to why the cursed can't reproduce." he said in honesty

"Oh?" Tera asked

"Tera, just think about it. Cursed wolves turn their victims at random right?" he asked

"Yes." she said, "What are you getting at love?"

"Blessed wolves bring the wolf out of someone gently right?" he asked

"Yes, why?" she asked

"Ryan was by your side what almost 15 years before he went missing," Steve said

"Yes, what are you getting at?" she asked looking up at him

"Ryan was able to bond with his wolf when he was turned, Tera cursed wolves don't give their targets the choice. Hunters are born from werewolves who have bred with humans. They are descended from the first cursed to break from the pack." he said

"Holy shit, Steve baby. You maybe on to something." she said jumping up and heading to her old apartment, "My mother kept a record of all the hunter clans all over the world Werewolves were an epidemic every where. Some places as far as the Island of Samoa."

Steve followed close behind her his wolf all but prancing around for a job well done "It would make sense. What if somewhere in the line, the wolf gene wanted to live a peaceful life away from the blood shed like it's other were-kin."

Tera went to one of the many bookshelves and pulled a large leather bound book from it "It has to be in here." she said laying the book down.

DXDXDXDXDX

Ryan heard the fast walking of Tera and Steve from his downstairs bedroom "You know Ry, you should go see what ever it is that has them scampering around upstairs." said the voice of Francis

"If it's not that little girl it's you three." he mumbled

"Ryan, you should go pal." said James.

His three former friends and brothers in arms stood there looking at him "If it makes you happy I'll go." he said.

When he got upstairs he heard Tera's voice first "I found it!" she said

"What does it say?" Steve asked

"Out of all the hunter families, four stood out from the rest. Each one a decedent of the first werewolves to fall in love with humans. These four families were The Law, The Immortal, The Renown Wolf, and The Rule clans. Each one of them descended from the first two wolves to break from the pack and to be kept hidden from those who wished to harm them. These four clans would soon become known as the Rumlow, Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns clans. The four most powerful clans in Europe." Tera said.

Ryan stood shocked he had always wondered why the Hunters came into existence "I feel that it is my duty to keep these lines safe though there are other clans out there these four are the strongest, and could possibly be the downfall of man if any are turned to cursed wolves." Steve read

Ryan and the others were descended from ancient werewolves, the first two to break away from the pack "It also says that the two wolves were related. They were brothers." said Tera

"So, by blood we are kin." said Chris

"GOD DAMN STOP THAT SHIT!" he yelped crashing through the door.

Tera and Steve looked at him "If it isn't that little girl, it's you three." Tera said with as shake of her head

"Sorry about the door." he said

"You didn't hurt it that much," Tera replied.

Ryan stood up and walked over to the book and read it himself now he knew why he was so, at peace with his wolf when it first appeared to him. It was because of Tera "Cursed force change, Blessed ease people into their wolf." Steve said

"It still has to be a partnership on both sides," Tera said

"As true as that may be, Steve is right." he said causing Tera to look at him, "We were around you when you were at your darkest of times. Our wolves knew that at came out slowly helping us lead you back away from the darkness of heartache."

"And for that my old friend I am eternally greatful, for without the four of you I wouldn't be here now," Tera said.

Ryan smiled and gave a curt nod. His wolf happy that it could help even before his capture...
