[-In the Metro Hospital-]

Unconscious utility workers and other employees of the hospital were on the floor unconscious.

They were all knocked out by Freddie when they tried to stop him from entering the supply room.

A room were filled of oxygen tanks and other medical equipment.

Time passed by as Freddie prepared the right amount triggers for the explosion.

An explosion that will set the entire hospital into flames.

Killing all the entire witnesses to his crimes. 

Desperation took over his rationality and conscience.

His desperation to keep Selene to himself.

Unaware that Prince Ivan survived from his devious act.

The rogue werewolf intended to eliminate the rest.

Those who threaten his plans to be with Selene.

Prepared to do the unthinkable.

Cruel …

Evil …

And heartless it may seem.

He was ready to harm even the innocent ones just for his own desire.

Finally, he finished setting up everything to blow up the entire hospital.

All he needs to do now is leave the hospital and pull the trigger from the outside.

One spark of the explosion will set off a domino effect of larger explosions due to the bulk number of oxygen tanks piled around the supply room and all floors of the building.

Pure oxygen is a highly flammable substance. Once it is in contact with organic materials, including greases and lubricating oils, combined with flame or explosion within confined places.

It would set off a huge explosion depending on the amount of mass of oxygen present.

When there is a dielectric break in which it produces an electrical discharge. A phenomenon is so strong that it can break the insulation made by air by conducting electrons from one electrode to another through a current flow.

This was something Freddie was aiming for.

Gathering a considerable amount of two prime factors: The gas type and the pressure within the site.

As Freddie leaves the supply room, he was surprised to see that the entire floor was vacated.

Unaware of what just happened.

It became clear to him that the entire floor was cleared. 

In order to capture him or take him down.

His instincts immediately went into defensive mode.

But it was too late for him because the hunters have already secured every passage or exit points of the floor.

Disabling Freddie to leave the hospital.

"You are not going anywhere, bad wolf!" A woman filled with confidence and fury.

"Tess, just remember! We need him alive for interrogation. Don't kill him!" Ben reminded the huntress.

"Fine! But I cannot promise you that I won't hurt him. Creatures like him must be punished for endangering innocent lives." Tess' response to Ben's reminder.

Upon releasing her bladed whip.

Her own anti-magic weapon.

Freddie looked towards her with Ben behind her.

"So, I guess I am caught in the action?" Freddie feigned a nervous smile.

Though, he geared for an intense battle.

Lacking the right and sufficient information about his enemies, he geared to shift right then and there.

"Oh, I won't let you shift! You are not harming anyone!" Tess pointed out to Freddie.

She swayed her whip to constrict Freddie's body.

Wrapped around and preventing him to shift.

A physical contact with her anti-magic weapon disables any werewolves to shift into their wolf forms. 

Preventing them to go full force and tapping into their beastly form.

Immediately, Freddie realized the difficulty and danger of the situation he was in.

Realizing that he could not shift due to the weapon used on him.

'This is bad!' Freddie thought to himself.

He had no choice but to fight through hand-to-hand combat.

Using his agility and extraordinary strength.

Even Tess was surprised that Freddie could remain strong and agile despite his restrained condition.

"Don't underestimate him! He is a strong werewolf. Not the ordinary kind!" Ben warned Tess.

Getting pulled through sheer strength by Freddie.

An intense clash between Freddie and the hunters ensued.

One after another, hunters were dropping like flies.

Tess realized that this werewolf is trained in battle.

"A trained werewolf, hmm … Time to get serious then!" Tess became serious upon realizing the skills and capability of Freddie as a fighter.

Powerful lashes were sent towards Freddie.

Rendering him temporarily stunned.

"Painful, isn't it? My whip doesn't only constrict magical essence and supernatural entities. It negates and penetrates all types of defensive ability from any supernatural being. Making your regenerating abilities, tough structure or any defensive type you have on your sleeve … useless! Against me!" Tess emphasized her threat towards Freddie.

And elaborating the disparity of their position.

"Buckle up … it's whipping time!" Tess exuded in confidence.

Clenching fist in frustration and fear. Freddie could sense the gravity of danger he was in.

A situation he may not be able to escape.

Hours after waiting, Elle hoped for the best and not the worst.

[-In the hospital ward-]

The doors opened with Freddie covered in wounds and bruises.

A sight that surprised Elle.

"What the hell? Haven't I requested to bring him in one piece?" Elle reiterated her request.

Hearing the complaint and tone of Elle, Tess was irked.

"Excuse me? And who are you? Ben, I was expecting for some top ranking authority for you to issue a -No Death Call- despite the obvious crime exhibited by the suspect. You expect a member of the renowned and respected Rogers Family to follow this curly hair bitch?" Tess retorted and threw a snide comment towards Elle.

Ben informed Tess about the significance of Elle and her role at the moment.

Freddie was catching his breath and lowering his gaze.

Knowing his own fate at that time. 

Defeated …

Despondent …

And a hint of disgust for himself.

Elle noticed the look on his eyes and could still sense some hope.

A vision of Freddie being still in the crossroads.

"Humans are fragile! So as the rest. Everyone makes mistakes … and everyone deserves to be redeemed. Hunters are supposed to save lives and not terminate one. Am I right? Then why would you sentence someone to his death if there is a possibility of redemption?" Elle remarked as she looked Tess straight in the eyes.

Putting them all to silence.

They contemplated on the words uttered by Elle.
