The Alpha's Return
Chapter 79 - Fenrir As Bait?

"That bitch wanted to use me as bait?", Fenrir bellowed. His voice echoed all over the room, and it clearly affected the homunculus as well, who was clutching his ears.

"I am right next to you. Give me a warning next time you are going to do that.", Lucas cursed out.

"This is far more serious. That is it. Whether I wanted to join her cause or not, she is going to have to die, just for the offense of trying to use me.", Fenrir said, his rage clear from the tone of his voice.

"Calm down man. We have more immediate things to take care of. Look. There is a man, I mean, a thing right there in front of us that wants to kill us, and your first thought is to take care of some woman who is long gone? Priorities.", Lucas said.

"Who cares about a toy that some human spent a few years trying to develop. It will take only minutes to dismantle it.", Fenrir scoffed.

"Then go ahead. Dismantle it. I will give you the front seat.", Lucas nodded.

"Alright then. It has been a while since I used a body, so I might get a little rusty.", Fenrir said.

Lucas' body started glowing in a blue halo, and all of a sudden, even his wolf transformation changed into something bigger.

The wolf that Lucas had transformed into was at least twice as big as a human. The wolf that Lucas had become after Fenrir took over, was at the least, thrice. Fenrir howled.

The homunculus, who was unmoving at the moment, quickly retreated after hearing this howl.

"Looks like even though it is a homunculus, it still has something called common sense, and knows how to sense danger. Or else, this would be quite the disappointing match up, wouldn't it?", Fenrir laughed.

"Just don't put my body in shambles once you are done. It took me days to recover form the wounds that you gave me, not from the wounds that I got from the enemy.", Lucas warned Fenrir.

"Hehe. I will take care of this.", Fenrir said as he pounced. If Lucas wast fast, Fenrir was faster. When Lucas moved, there was a blur, a streak of red from his eyes. When Fenrir moved, the place that he moved from still had a clear after image, that didn't fade away till a few milli seconds had passed.

Fenrir was behind the homunculus within seconds. He reached for the arms of the homonculus.

The homunculus did not intend to stay defenseless. He turned his head, yes, he turned his head, and moved his arms to block Fenrir. It was like Fenrir was facing the homonculus' front, not the back.

"Thiss is why I hate going against creatures that know no pain.", Fenrir cursed. His arms trajectory could not be stopped, so he had contact with the arms of the homonulus. The skin on the paws started rippling, like there was jello inside of the skin.

As for the homonsulus' arms, the moment they touched Fenrir's arms, it was like there was a mysterious force that stopped the homonulus from moving.

A few shards of the homunculus' arm fell down.

Fenrir retreated immediately after this. He looked down at his paws, and saw that they were covered in blood, but it was healing.

"Looks like they at least didn't put any curses in the goddamn thing. Or else I would be pissed.", Fenrir growled.

"YOu said that you would take care of him in minutes.", Lucas said. This time, Lucas spoke from within his own chest, like he was trapped within his own body.

"I would have finished this fight if I was in my own body, and not this joke of a wolf's body. Just watch and learn.", Fenrir growled in response, and he went back into the fight.

The homunculus also did not intend to stop fighting. It raised its hands, clenched its fists and got ready to swing one at Fenrir. The moment that Fenrir was in an arm's distance, the homunculus punched.

It struck Fenrir, or rather, the air where the homunculus saw Fenrir was.

"And that is why inanimate objects never work. They don't have what is called a brain.", Fenrir laughed. He was behind the homunculus. Before the homunculus could even move, its head fell right off its body.

"And that is why you also should be very decisive. Capiche? Decisive. Do not hesitate to kill. That is the first quality that I saw in you when I chose you. To think that is the quality that you happened to blunt over the years.", Fenrir said.

"Just shut up and give me back the control of my body.", Lucas said.

"You know what? I think I like this-", Fenrir laughed.

"Don't joke around and give me my body back.", Lucas said.

"Such a kill joy.", Fenrir sighed.

The huge wolf started shrinking in size, and slowly, a human came out of it. It was Lucas, in human form. He was also, quite like the homunculus, quite naked.

"Now where the hell can I replace some clothes.", Lucas said.

"You could have just stayed in wolf form.", Fenrir suggested.

"Are you kidding me? My whole body is paining because of all the unnecessary manouevers that you had to pull of. Now, I just want to be myself for a little. I have to replace clothes, or I am not moving to replace the Marquess.", Lucas said resolutely.

"Alright, alright. But first, take a look at the homunculus. Don't you think that a moving robot thing is quite interesting?", Fenrir said.

"But I am naked.", Lucas protested. "Clothes are my highest priority."

"Urgh. Alright. Just replace them, and take a look. This thing is really interesting, and it might even come back to life if left unattended.", Fenrir said.
