"Silver, I have a mission for you," Aldridge had called him into his office and informed.

"Which place?" Silver asked while taking the file which contained the mission details.

"Hamidus City in Druhias. Its Mayor is a friend of mine and recently there have been quite a lot of attacks from rogues and Phantom’s forces. So they need someone capable who can help them keep the city safe, someone who doesn’t attract attention. You are the right man for the job," Aldridge filled him in.

"Alright and how long will I need to stay? Seems like it’s a long mission," Silver said while skimming through the file.

"It might take from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the situation."

"Understood, I will pack and be on my way. Any contact from White Falcon and Black Hawk? How are they doing?" Silver asked while getting up.

"They have settled in and she is doing alright, considering everything she had to go through," Aldridge took off his work glasses and put them aside.

"Xiran has been of great help to us. The funds he has been providing are facilitating us to expand our bases and revolutionise the experimental facilities. He is better as an ally than as a foe. White Falcon was right about him."

Aldridge’s words though true didn’t sit right with Silver who loathed Xiran.

"He is still the son of our greatest enemy and after what he did to White Falcon with those lethal powers of his. I don’t trust the man," his animosity showed in his eyes.

"You don’t have to trust him but we need him. We share mutual goals so it’s only beneficial for us," Aldridge reminded him.

"I know. I should get going now. Have to make preparations before leaving," Silver got up and shook hands with Aldridge who wished him good luck before leaving the office and heading to his room.

He packed his clothes, weapons, essential serums and smoke bombs. Everything he might need to fight the enemy. Silver then adorned his white and gold hunter uniform and taking long strides, made his way to their organization’s private jet.

He asked the cargo staff to load his jeep in as he would be taking his beauty along. Once all the arrangements had been made he made his way inside and the jet took off taking him to his new destination.

They arrived after several hours and the jet landed at the airport of Hamidus. The evening was about to fall. Silver thanked the pilot and took his Jeep out of the jet. He then set the GPS to Mayor’s office and headed there. His arrival was kept secret and hence no one was sent to accompany him.

In 20 minutes he was parking the jeep in the parking area of the Mayor’s office and headed for the glass door. The architecture was of modern style with dark tones used. He showed his card to the guards at the door who had been expecting him. Silver was led towards the Mayor’s office.

He noticed that the building was well-lit and quite a lot of money had been spent on its construction and decoration. They reached the oak door of the Mayor’s office and knocked.

"Come in," the voice commanded from inside and opening the door they stepped in to find the Mayor standing by his window with his hands in his pockets, facing away from them.

He turned around to see Silver Wolf and a refreshing smile appeared on his stern face. Silver was taken aback to see how young the Mayor was. He had anticipated him to be in his fifties but he seemed in his thirties. With his blackish-purple hair and subtle blue eyes, he was a good-looking guy. And Silver couldn’t help but wonder if he was a Warian (Hounds with bluish-purple fur)

"Welcome! I hope you didn’t have much difficulty reaching here," he somberly walked towards Silver and both men curtly shook hands.

"Not at all," Silver was to the point as always.

"Please! Have a seat," he led Silver towards the seater sofas and both men settled down.

Mayor then dismissed the guards and called his secretary to send refreshments. He then turned his attention to Silver.

"I am Kirlian Hunington, you can call me Kili for short or address me as Mayor Kirlian when in public," the Mayor introduced himself.

"Noted. I am Silver Wolf, you can call me Silver."

"Thank you for arriving so quickly Silver. Being situated on the border of Anthos and Druhias, we have been having quite an influx of these strange creatures which have been cooked up in some lab."

Silver understood what he meant, he simply nodded and listened on:

"So far our forces, police and people themselves have been fighting them but recently the invasions have increased by ten folds and our citizens are being targeted and abducted. For now, we are keeping these abductions under wrap to not spread panic. But the situation is escalating, that’s why I asked for someone capable, who could assist us in keeping control of the city."

"I understand. Don’t worry I will stay as long as you need me and I will assist your forces in every way possible. But mostly I like to operate alone, I am also more productive that way," Silver added with a straight face, noticing there was no change in Kirlian’s expressions.

"Sure, I don’t mind as long you can capture or kill the culprits and keep the civilians safe," the secretary arrived with refreshments and both men helped themselves.

"Here, these are the keys to the flat I have assigned for your stay. My secretary will take you once you are ready," Mayor handed him a bunch of silver keys.

"That’s alright. Just share the location with me and I will find my way," Silver took out his phone and shared the number with the Mayor who in turn shared the location with him.

Silver Wolf then asked for a detailed map of the city and asked Kirlian to mark the areas where attacks were more frequent or were expected to be attacked.

The Mayor was impressed with Silver for he had jumped straight to work without wasting any time. They discussed at length the plans and strategies before Silver decided to head out and take a round around the areas he had been assigned.

He parked his jeep in a secluded neighbourhood. Taking out a scent-masking serum, he drank it before taking off his clothes and transforming into his hound state. He began to roam the streets. Sometimes he jumped and climbed the roofs of houses and hid there to observe any suspicious activity.

It was the middle of the night when he heard screeches and running sounds as he keenly watched from the top of a roof. A man came running into the street, his face was a show of horror as he peeked back over his shoulder as if running away from something.

The street was very dimly lit and there was no moon today. He staggered and fell and was pounced by something moving viciously fast. It was a woman, she grabbed him by the neck and lifted him before sinking her protruded canines deep into his neck. He screamed but she held on.

The woman had her back facing Silver so she couldn’t see him as he swiftly landed behind her, ready to pounce and rescue the man. But as he jumped the woman turned, dropping the man she was holding and punched Silver with full force in his stomach.

Though the woman couldn’t see him or smell him she had been able to hear his faint heartbeat.

Silver staggered and fell a few meters back and let out a gruelling sound as he steadied himself to attack the vampires again.

She faced him with her protruding teeth bare, the blood dripped down her chin and dyed the front part of her white dress. Silver attacked her again but she was able to dodge him and they began to dance around each other. Pouncing and trying to tear each other apart but none was able to catch the other.

Her cobalt blue eyes were fierce and she acted as if she was protecting her territory. Silver snarled at her and attacked again and was able to sink his teeth into her arm. She screamed and jerked him away and he flew a few feet before safely landing on his paws.

Shuffling and running of several feet were heard from a distance. As a few men came into view and Silver observed they were all in police uniform.

"Ma’am, are you alright?" one of them asked and she responded:

"I am, one of the rogues has been killed while I am fighting the other. He is some kind of a hound not sure if he is a mixed breed or a pure Silver one but try and catch him alive," she ordered and turned to look at Silver Wolf but he had disappeared in the meanwhile.
