"Once." He replied and leaned back to keep the space between them. He saw the amusement and surprise in her eyes and smiled a little."How old are you?" Sara asked in curiosity. If he knew her mother then and was still the same now, he must be older than her.Aldophus flicked her head playfully, "I'm older than your mother, to me a nineteen years old girl is just a pup."Sara lifted her eyebrow in a mocking expression. Werewolves live longer than any other mythical creatures next came the vampires. Pure blooded werewolves were known to be stronger and aged longer than ordinary werewolves. It didn't come as a surprise to Sara that he was older than her mother, in the human realm, he would look like those in their twenties and his handsomeness was beyond description. No wonder the alpha's daughter was as protective as a mother hen."Well... Ahem... What should I call you then?" She asked."Aldophus will do," he replied and smoothen her hair. "It must be hard for you growing up alone wi
The next morning Sara went to the kitchen where she met the butler. He wasn't friendly as his characteristics portrayed him to be. Sara felt the world would come to an end as he taught her how to act in the presence of people.What made Sara more taken aback that is the fact that if any man want to have sexual pleasure with a maidservant, they were in no position to disagree.Sara made mental note of all he said and was taken to the slave quarters. She was introduced to other maidservants.Aldophus had gone to Sara's room and couldn't find her, he asked the guards that were stationed there and discovered she went to the kitchen.On his way to the kitchen, he was taken aback when he saw Sara sneaking into her room. She had no idea he had been there before her. He returned to her room and got inside without her knowing.Sara was packing the few things she brought when Aldophus' voice made her jolt in shock."What are you doing Sara?" Sara blinked at him innocently and bit her inner che
"Hey! Wait for me, it's steep here so I can't run," Sara shouted and tried to increase her pace on the steep ground that went upward into the sky. She watched large grey wolves run fiercely upward to the top of the mountain while she ran on her feet. Aldophus decided to punish her by running on foot to the top of the mountain while carrying their training materials."I'm going to sit here until someone comes to get me," Sara was tired after walking to the middle of the mountain. A cold thing touched her hand and she turned to see a large white wolf with black eyes staring at her."Alright alright I'll walk," said Sara and she starts walking while Aldophus trot behind her.The questions Sara was dying to ask suddenly popped inside her head and she let it out, "what type of werewolves are you, I mean all of you including Lane? "Fitting the large bag to her shoulder that had dropped to her hand Sara waited for his answer and kept walking. Then it dawned on her that Aldophus was in his
"Now go inside and do me and Aldophus a favor," Lane said in order to convince Sara to stay in her room. He had seen his friend's affection for the girl and could tell Sara was comfortable with him.Sara stepped backward and took a glance at all the guards stationed in Aldophus quarter. "Can you take me to see him?" She wanted to see him."I can't do that Sara, you don't know Alpha Calhoun....""The alpha doesn't know me... and certainly can't judge me. Where's he? We've been on the mountain. How could he sneak without me knowing? " Sara shouted.Lane suddenly pulled her behind him when he saw Alpha Calhoun walking towards them in regal steps. Sara felt cold shivers run down her spine as the alpha stared intensely into her eyes."I'm here. I'll give you thirty minutes to have some time with him after then visit me in my quarter." Alpha Calhoun said and walked away.Sara glanced at Lane and rushed towards another direction."It's this way." Lane said, pulling her attention from the wro
"Five days? I thought I fell unconscious a few minutes ago." Sara said and leaned on his body. Her muscles felt weak and tired. "I'm hungry." She uttered quietly.Aldophus was about to climb down from the bed when the Alpha walked in. His domineering and prideful aura filled the room making Sara pressed herself against Aldophus impulsively."I've ordered the maids to bring in your meal. First you'll tell me what you saw," he said with authority. His eyes staring deep into hers and Sara felt he could see through her heart.Aldophus took a glance at Sara who was beside him with a confused look, his eyes were asking her what the alpha met by that.Sara stared daggers at the Alpha for sometime before replying, "I fell unconscious for five days but I saw nothing."Aldophus knew what the Alpha asked was true because he was the one who sent for the healers. Healers were magical creatures who wore black veils and hats. It was rare to find a healer except someone of high position. "Sara, the
Sara looked away in embarrassment and warm red shades crawled in her skin up to her scalp. She didn't expect that from both of them. She felt her skin burn bright red and thank the goddess it was night.Lane also blushed heavily and he quickly left the tent. As for Aldophus he was the still expression man and his action didn't change. Though he was upset by Lane's intrusion when he was about to have a precious time in his life."I should go to my tent." Sara said hurriedly and scurried away from there.Few minutes later, Lane walked into the tent with pleading eyes, he scratched the back of his neck nervously and said, "I didn't mean to intrude, you know instinct.""And you did intrude on Lane, she's embarrassed and would take time for her to return back to normal." Aldophus replied with nonchalance and raised his head to look at his clumsy right hand man. "Raphael would do a better job sniffing than you to smell the different scent Lane," to Aldophus Lane was a pup unlike Raphael wh
The eyeless man walked towards her and Sara shouted even louder than before. She missed her footing and fell backward to be caught by strong arms.Glaring at the man with no eyes Aldophus ran his claws on the man's neck sending his head flying to another direction.Sara breathed in relief and embraced Aldophus tightly. Who would've thought that the man in her vision could be so scary."Alright there?" Aldophus asked and raised her head to look at him. She was still shaking all over and saw the fear in her eyes. Aldophus and his men were ahead and knew Sara was behind them. When they got into another street, Sara was nowhere to be seen. Sighting a shadow, Aldophus asked his men to go on while he came back to search for the shadow.Walking passed a small house, he saw something move inside. He had come to Grooveshire town knowing there must be a little evidence.He opened the small door and saw the house wasn't big. It was a storehouse which was now empty. Aldophus doesn't need a lig
Alpha Calhoun heard of Aldophus return with another set of werewolves who left after bringing the Demon to the palace. Along the corridor his hurried footsteps echoed loudly sending fear down everyone present. The demon killed by Aldophus was sent to the examination room. The examination room was one of the important parts in the palace. There various kinds of creatures brought in where examined or people who died without sustaining injury or disease. Over the years, if a strange creature is killed or found dead it is brought to the room like a laboratory. The giant door swung open as the alpha walked in. A plump man with red eyes and a bald head was seen busying with a body laying on a large table. When he saw the Alpha he quickly dropped his work and rushed towards him before giving him a ninety degree bow. "Alpha Calhoun." "Hmm." Calhoun humed and strode towards the table. He took a look at the dead man laying on it and lowered himself to see the man's eyes. "What happened
What Sara did wasn't for the benefit of the her. She had revealed their position, killing only two injured soldiers, the surprise effect could be considered wasted. Yet, she would rather do that then charge alone on the enemies, hoping for the group behind him to follow. 'If they think like me, they will use me to identify their abilities and then charge. I won't risk my life for them.' She had already obtained a headstart , she couldn't care less if it was to fail because she was unwilling to risk his life. Sara didn't believe that this group was the only force deployed by her father. She knew that Alpha Calhoun was a cunning man,he had spies set up after all so there was a high chance that there could be hidden troops too. The soldiers from Alpha Calhoun's pack reacted quickly and set up a battle formation with their bodies turned toward the now exposed cave. They were prepared to attack since their task was to stop Sara from entering and attacking the Alpha. Since they ha
After explaining the final arrangements to Ivor, Sara made her move as they bother rode the carriage out of the Sect's premises and into the gown as they travelled towards the outskirts.Thirty hooded figures exited a tavern together and ran toward the mountain path, outside of the capital.Meanwhile, right outside the city, on the opposite side from where the group from the Royal family went.Sixty men wearing the emblem of the Aldophus pack marched at a steady pace inside the town.Aldophus was in the center of the group, he was wearing an anxious expression and his eyes darted every time he heard a loud sound."Young master, please calm down. It's just a low rate pack it shouldn't be any problem for our team."Lane was right at his side, whispering with a soft voice to his ear.The soldiers around them were simple guards, unaware of the reasons for their being assembled.If they knew that they were against Alpha Calhoun's pack, their determination might crumble and they might even
"You really like being mysterious."Yaoyao sighed, giving up on probing more about her past."When you find out about me, you can give me your opinion on what I should have done."Sara said, receiving another poke from Yaoyao.They continued to talk and drink for the whole night, enjoying their peaceful time together.As the first rays of the dawn entered the room, Sara interrupted her line of thought and focused back on her surroundings.Yaoyao had long fallen asleep on the couch, uncaringly stretching her legs over Sara's waist.'Is this a habit of her? She sure doesn't care about appearances.'Sara shook her head, carefully moving her legs away in order to stand up.Yaoyao didn't wake up, it seemed that the wine had relaxed her so much that she didn't even pay attention to the environment around her.A bitter smile appeared on Sara's face as she stared at the girl quietly sleeping in front of him.'If my situation was different, I wonder how our relationship would have evolved.'Sh
To create an inscribed item with the Elemental forging method, there were many hurdles to surpass.The cultivator had to endure the absorption of the "Breath" with his sea of consciousness that comported a big risk for that center of power.Then, she had to set her will on a specific meaning and imbue the "Breath" with that, otherwise there would be no effect attached to the finished product.After that, it was time for the choice of the materials.The compound had to be something that didn't conflict with the element of the cultivator and that could sustain the activity that it was meant for.For example, you couldn't use a hard material to create a whip, it would simply conflict with the purpose of the item.At the same time, you couldn't use something too soft either, a whip forged that way would just fail to inflict any damage when wielded.The last hurdle was its form.The item had to be shaped according to its future usage: you could forge a sword but, if you didn't manage to sh
'What the fuck is that?'The guys had an excited smile when they looked at her.One of them gathered courage and stepped toward her."Ehm, dar-, Lord Sara, would you like to accompany me on a trip to Arolyac forest? I'm willing to give all my merit-"He couldn't finish her phrase since Sara interrupted her with a cold answer."No."Silence enveloped the area.Sara uncaringly passed the boy and moved through the crowd to reach her habitation.Yet, she couldn't help but hear the whispers of the boys as she walked through them."Kyaa, have you seen how cool she is! It's the complete opposite of Lord Daniel!""Yes, but Daniel was unreachable for us. Lord Sara doesn't care about noble status.""I want her to scold me so badly but I can't even face her, I feel like fainting every time I look into her eyes."'These boys are crazy!'Sara thought as the unlocked the door of her house."Dark Queen! Would you mind if I came inside and served you some tea? My family is famous for-"Sara didn't wa
It's not that Samuel didn't have techniques or spells to avoid the attack but the surprise effect paired with the fear that he felt due to Sara's presence left him defenseless for a moment.And that moment was exactly what Sara exploited.The head of the noble dug the terrain and a faint trace of blood came out of it.Sara raised Samuel's head from its hair and waited for his reaction."Why did you do this!? Who the fuck do you th-"His phrase was interrupted since Sara smashed the head back in the ground.She raised it again and waited."You better be care-"Sara slammed it back in the pit and pulled it out."Wait! I'm sorry! I will never talk behind your back again!"Samuel's face was covered with blood and terrain with some trace of tears in his eyes.Sara released his hair and smiled toward him, lightly patting his shoulder."Was that so hard? Next time I catch you doing something like this, I will gladly test at what depth the ground becomes harder than your head."Samuel shivere
'This should be the best that I can hope for with my current experience.'Sara thought, analyzing the "Breath" in her sea of consciousness.'Let's try to forge with this.'Another bone of Sun tiger appeared in her hand.Sara carefully manipulated a small part of the "Breath" in her mental sphere and slowly inserted it in the bone.It immediately started cracking, the piece of the beast was opposing that foreign substance.However, Sara controlled the "Breath" to force the item to stay still, using her mental energy and "Breath" in the dantian to envelop the bone.A black membrane appeared around the item in her hand.That was one of the incubating methods described in the forging procedures.With the membrane around it, the bone could not break toward the outside and was forced to mix with Sara's "Breath".Its color changed, from a pale white with shades of red, it became darker, turning gray with purple tones.Sara then controlled it to change shape.Inside the incubating membrane, i
She had a lot of memories of her battles.From the first time when he fought the rank 1 Four-eyes wolves to her recent fight in the arena, her combat style has always focused on two qualities: speed and sharpness.She tried to imprint her meaning of sharpness on the dark lake, concentrating on the memories where she killed her enemies in one blow.The refinement process took a long time.She had to first synchronize her mental energy with her idea of sharpness and then mix more mental energy in the dark lake to align the nature of the "Breath" with the one that she had set.Another week passed, with Ivor calmly standing right next to her, waiting for the results of her refinement.On the night of the seventh day, Sara opened her eyes and stretched and her arms in front of her.Over her palm, a blue liquid floated peacefully.Every drop in the small pond resembled a small blade and a faint sense of sharpness was exuded from it.Ivor immediately neared the liquid and carefully inspected
Manuel was astonished!'How did she manage to hit me through the barrier of lightning?!?'His martial art focused on defense, logically speaking, it had to match Sara's attacks.However, Sara still successfully hit him.He didn't know that after her second time witnessing that technique, Sara could clearly see through its weak spots.'Being a rank 2 beast is wonderful. The speed of my thoughts increased drastically and I can notice details that I was completely ignorant about!'She felt that he could see through everything!Some merit must be addressed to her battle experience though, seeing a weakness and exploiting it were two different things after all."Do you surrender or you want to see if my "Breath" will last till I hit your throat?"Sara mocked him with his own words.She was holding back, not using any of her new spells.Sh was sure that, after that match, her name would be widely known so she wanted to hide at all cost her power and, most importantly, the nature of her elem
