“Mom..? But why...?” Lily asked confused by her mother's reaction. Princess Hana also looked towards Lily's mother wondering why she's stopping her.
But her mother didn't reply to her question, instead, she grabbed her and started walking away. Her action made her daughter cry as she wanted to get her kite.
Princess Hana also wanted to ran towards her but was weak to do so. Her body can't handle the pain anymore, the man who caught her seconds ago also left not bothering to help her. Tears started pouring out her eyes, asking the moon goddess why this is happening to her.
All she did was help, but why? Why are all of them so distant? Princess Hana's thought become messy, after a few minutes, her consciousness started turning vague. And finally, she dropped on the ground weakly totally losing her consciousness.

“What did you slapped her? Are you mad?!” Beta Jack scolded glaring angrily at his daughter.
“I.. I'm sorry.. I.. I..” Cindy spoke stuttering, tears freely pouring out from her eyes.
Seeing her daughter crying, Beta Jack couldn't help but sigh and said. “Cindy, my daughter, listen... Although Princess Hana is wolf less, she's still the Princess. You acting like that will only put you on the edge of the sword. Alpha Broderick is very protective of her, if he knows about what you did, I don't know what will happen to you”
Cindy looked at her father in the eye and asked. “A-Aren't Alpha Broderick my uncle?”
“He is, but don't forget about supremacy, the strong one leads everyone” Beta Jack replied raising his head up in the sky, “Even if we're family, if one breaks the rule or commit something that's unforgivable, the Alpha will definitely punish them no matter what their status might be”
“But what about Princess Hana? She's a cursed princess, right? Why isn't she banished from the pack?!” Cindy asked again in frustration, she really wished for princess Hana to be banished.
“Shut up! She's your best friend and cousin, don't forget about that” Beta Jack shouted coldly, he really don't know why his daughter was like this. She’s acting different from what she used to be.
“I-I'm sorry” Cindy apologized with her head lowered, hiding her eyes that’s shining with hatred. Not directed to her father but to Princess Hana. 'What's so special about you that even father chose to protect you and even scold me? I hate you!' she thought as her hand unconsciously forms into a fist.
“Let's not talk about this, I'm only doing this for your own good” Beta Jack stated before leaving as he still needs to patrol the area.
Cindy gritted her teeth and also left.

“Ugh.” Princess Hana let out a soft moan of pain while gently moving her body around her bed.
“Huh?” She exclaimed in confusion as she saw the familiar scene in front of her. The soft bed, nice decorated ceiling and furnitures. She glanced to her left and saw everything very clearly, it was her room!
“What am I doing here?” She asked herself dumbfounded.
“Ouch”
Princess Hana exclaimed in pain as she tried to leave her bed, but since her body were hurt internally, even moving simply hurts.
“Beta Jack, it has been a day and a half but my daughter was still unconscious. What should we do?” Princess Hana heard a familiar voice of a woman coming from outside of her room. A trace of anxiousness could be traced from her tone.
“Don't worry Luna, as what the doctor had said, she'll wake up eventually when her body adjust with the pain she suffered” a strong male voice also replied which Princess Hana thought to be Beta Jack.
“But why is it taking so long? I'm dying just thinking about her situation, is there no other way?” Luna Dianne asked in concern.
“I know you're worried about your daughter but stay calm, she'll be fine, don't worry. As we all know, she haven't awaken her wolf, that's why her regeneration ability isn't the same as us” Beta Jack explained.
Then the door of her room opened, followed by Beta Jack and Luna Dianne’s appearance. When Luna Dianne saw her daughter that’s already awake, she instantly ran towards her and hugged her tight.
“Thank goodness you’re already awake.” Luna Dianne whispered, she then examined her daughter’s body. After a while, she asked angrily, “Why did you climbed that tree for?! You should take care of yourself and stop making me worry!”
Princess Hana know what her mother was feeling and so she stayed silent. After some time, she whispered to her mother's ear and apologized for making her worried.
“It's fine… Just don't do that again. Okay?” Luna Dianne said reminding her daughter. As if she was hit by realization, she asked, “Did you climbed that tree to commit suicide? Even if life is difficult, don’t ever do such a thing!”
Her mother's question shocked her. She hastily shook her head then said. “N-no… Why would I do something like that?”
“Don't deny… I know you realized that everyone was distancing themselves from you” Luna Dianne sadly spoke. “Listen, there's a reason why they are doing that and our ancestors teaching was the core reason of it.”
“It was already passed two century, a prophet of the silver moon pack gave a verdict that when a member of the pack turned 18 and was wolf less, they have to be banished from the pack.”
“The reason the prophet gave was that, if a wolf less 18 years old stayed in the pack and wasn't banished, the pack will face its demise. That's why people believed that those wolf less 18 years old are cursed being”
Princess Hana stayed silent after hearing her mother's narration. Her face furrowed, thinking deeply about something.
“But you don't have to worry about that, it's already been more than two century, that prophecy must be ineffective now” Luna Dianne assured smiling happily at her daughter.
“By the way Mom, who brought me here?”
“Did Lily's mother came back and helped me?” Princess Hana asked, it was the only reasonable thing she could think of.“Who?” Luna Dianne was confuse, who was this lily her daughter was talking about?“Ah... Nothing, maybe I'm just hallucinating” Princess Hana said shaking her head. Just seeing how her mother asked back only means one thing.“Take some rest sweetie, don't overthink yourself too much. Everything will definitely come to pass. Just remember that whatever happens, we will always be here supporting you” Luna Dianne stated then kissed her forehead.“Thanks Mom” She replied hugging her mother happily.***“Beta, summon this person named lily and her family” Luna Dianne ordered, her voice was cold.Although she looked happy while talking to her daughter, she was only hiding her real thought. That was her daughter, her beloved one, how could she be happy seeing her suffer like that?Luna Dianne sat on her throne next to Alpha Broderick's seat. She was currently in the pack’s ro
When evening came, Princess Hana who were bored to death inside her room left. She can't just stay there forever, she walked through the long hallway in difficulty before leaving the pack house.The place outside was brightly lit by torches, it was like a glistering stars. She walked happily through the lawn, her destination is the treatment house.Princess Hana thought that it was the best time to visit Gamma Sydric who had taken good care of her. But while walking through the place, she unintentionally heard the members of the pack whispering at each other. She felt weird and don't feel well thinking that everyone was talking about her.“Princess Hana, what are you doing here? You should be taking your rest”While Princess Hana was deep in thought, she suddenly heard someone spoke from behind. She quickly turned around and saw that it was Gamma Sydric, the person she’s planning to visit.“Why are you here? You should be in the treatment house..” Princess Hana asked in worry, staring
Everyone transformed quickly. Then a group of red wolves dropped coming from above, their sharp claws glistering in cold luster.Splash~Blood splattered in the air from the wound generated from the blood wolves sneak attack from above. Alpha Broderick's warriors howled in pain, some of them even got heavily injured. A few also died after being hit in the head.The silent forest turned chaotic as sounds of growling and pained cry echoed from time to time. Corpse started piling up as red and silver furred wolf dropped on the ground motionless.Alpha Broderick scanned the surrounding with a calm expression in his face, not even flinching for a second. He was the only one who stayed in his human form not bothering to transform.A blood wolf saw him and thought he was an easy prey. It happily pounce at him without hesitation, opening its jaw open wide, showcasing its sharp teeth. When it arrived a meter away from him, its eyes couldn't help but constrict as his target suddenly disappeared.
“You're so mean second brother” Venedict spoke without any emotion, his aura changed completely turning the air around him stagnant.His figure then transformed into a big wolf with blood red fur. Eyes shining brightly in red luster and his size was only a little smaller than that of Alpha Broderick.Alpha Broderick's paw reached his face but in that short span of time, he shielded himself with his front leg in an X form. Due to the impact generated from Alpha Broderick's strong attack, he was thrown thirty meters away from his previous position. His front paw had become bruised and released some smoke.“You've become much more stronger than before brother” Venedict complimented with his face turning solemn.Alpha Broderick snorted coldly, his gaze full of loathing. Without wasting any second, he again pounced towards Venedict. Everytime his paw hits the ground, deep footprints will appear.“I admit that you're stronger than me but...” Venedict paused for a while before scanning his su
“Luna, a problem had occurred in many places this past few days. Pests started attacking our farms making the genius farmers suffer great losses, their expected harvest are cut off to a fourth.”“Half of our livestock's had also died through unknown kind of sickness. The doctors are having a hard time determining how to solve this problem. If this continues, the market and our pack’s future will definitely face problems”Luna Dianne frowned deeply, she looked towards the empty seat next to her and sighed. Shaking her head a little, she calmly replied to the elders concern. “Go and investigate the reason behind it. Then come back with your proposed solution.”“Luna, there's no need for us to leave. The matter was already investigated and after some research, everything that happened was found out to be impossible to happen” Elder Justin replied, his face darkened.“Then? Are you saying that there's no solution?” Luna Dianne asked coldly, her eyes staring deeply at the group of elders.“
“You! You are...” it was only now that the man saw Princess Hana's face more clearly. A few seconds ago, he thought that the lady his slave was chatting with was also an omega, but he was wrong. His eyes constricted into a small dot, and at the same time trembling in fear.“What do you think you're doing! She might be your servant but that doesn't mean you can do everything as you like” Princess Hana scolded furiously, her beautiful white dress had a part of it ripped off with traces of blood.“I-I'm sorry... I-I didn't mean to hit you...” the man said stammering, his hand shaking nonstop.The residents of the pack heard the commotion and went to take a look. Their frequent murmuring buzzed in chaos like a marketplace. Some spectators that saw everything unfold narrated the event to the new ones arriving.Several meters away from the crowd, a man was patrolling the area with his two companion. When they saw a great crowd of people gathering, they went their to inquire what’s happening.
“Her parent's was imprisoned” It was like a clap of thunder when Princess Hana heard what Gamma Sydric said several hours ago. She didn't anticipated something like that to happen, she didn't hold any grudge towards Lily's parent's. Although she was hurt by what they did, she can't blame her for it anyway. But she clearly know how protective and caring her mother was, no matter who it was as long as it involves her, they'll definitely not leave without a scratch. 'So It's my fault again' She said inside her head contemplating everything that has happened. She lay down on the bed she was in and muttered silently. “Am I really cursed?” “No you're not” a woman's voice answered shocking her, Princess Hana look to the side only to see her mother. “Mom you're here” Princess Hana said planning to stand up but was stopped by her mother. Her mother looked at her gently, examining her figure searching if she was hurt anywhere. “I am fine mom. You don't have to worry about me” She said star
Elder's Council, Conference HallIn a long table that measures two meters by width and twenty meters by length, several people could be seen facing each other in silence, not uttering even a single word.It was so silent that an ant's cry can be heard. These people was none other than the Elders of Silver Moon Pack, the Gamma and Beta, including the Delta. In the right side of the lengthy table was Alpha Broderick with a sad expression on his face.Because of his current state, the elders sitting on their chairs couldn't help but feel uneasy. The air surrounding them was so stifled that breathing was hard. It was such a suspense as everyone wants to know what really happened in their journey that made the alpha like that. But who dares to ask him that? No one, they were all afraid of the outcome. A few minutes passed in silence before finally, Alpha Broderick stood up from his seat.With a dull glow on his eyes, he said, “Everyone, I, your Alpha has failed you. It was my fault why onl
Prior that night at the Blackburn residence, a huge event was happening. A few hours after Griswold left, Princess Hana that was unconscious had finally woken up. Esmond and the others immediately visited her room in excitement.And before their eyes, Princess Hana’s beautiful and innocent face enraptured their hearts. Renfield was the most noticeable as his eyes had turned into hearts, staring at her with longing.The patriarch and elders also arrived a few minutes after them. All having serious expression but after seeing Princess Hana’s appearance, their eyes couldn’t hide their surprise.“Where is this place?” Princess Hana asked in wonder. Confused why she’s not in the forest anymore.“Hello, you’re in the Blackburn residence of Winterfrost city. We found you in the forest while unconscious so we brought you here.” Alwyn timidly responded.Princess Hana found him adorable and smiled. But noticing that there are many people that she’s not familiar with, she cautiously hide her emo
On the second floor of the Alchemist Association, there are not as many people as that of on the ground floor. Moreover, the people here were well known figures in Winterfrost City and some were powerful practitioners.It is also noticeable that the items on display here are of high quality than those below. The price of the products here are also absurdly expensive. Also, the cheapest product on display were sold for a hundred thousand gold coins.Their group of three did not stay on the second floor for long and immediately moved to the third floor. Unlike the other floors, this floor have no products on display nor many people walking around. Rather, the place was full of rooms.“Hello dear customers, are you here to hire an Alchemist to concoct a pill?” a charming young lady went to their group and asked.“I’m here to see the Branch Manager, please show the way.” Scr
“Stop this meaningless aggression or I’ll be forced to hurt you.” Jake warned, completely blocking Griswold’s attack with his sword.At the same time, he also released his Martial King aura, pressuring his opponent in great multitude. Even the crowd present at the scene could feel the immense pressure. Except for the young man with red eyes and his servant.“Humans really are interesting beings. To attain such skill level, his comprehension ability are truly astonishing. Maybe there are people out there who can contend with my father.”“That would be dangerous. Moreover, their population are abnormally high. If among them, there are three people that can contend with your father, then it would be a disaster.”The young man smiled then looked at his servant. “If you fight him, can you win?”His servant didn’t reply
“Lylia…” Griswold affectionately muttered while caressing his wife’s thin hands.His eyes were misty because of both happiness and grief. After so many years of sacrifices of looking after the mysterious Sun Triad Flower, they had finally found it. Moreover, they found it on the day where his wife’s life was in danger.He clenched his fist tight before standing up. “Wait for me, this time I’ll definitely help you recover.”However, there’s no response from his wife. He could only sigh helplessly before leaving the room.“My lord, the carriage you asked had already been prepared.” the butler that welcomed him a few hours ago reported.Before visiting his wife, he specifically looked for him to prepare a carriage. He plan to visit his old friend who’s helping him take care of his wife.
“I also got this awesome scar” Esmond said, showing off the claw mark left by the big wolf he fought earlier.Everyone looked at his chest with disbelief written in their faces. They couldn’t believe it. How could a wound turned into a scar in just a few hours? Unless one had superb regeneration ability.Iris walked next to him and stared intently at his scar. Afterwards, a smile formed on her face as she looked at his brother. It was a look of contempt and disgust.Renfield wanted to say something but his sister was one step ahead of him.“Wow! Such great scar. You truly are talented compared to my brother who only knows how to look good. He's clearly older than you yet you're better than him”His face turned red in embarrassment. The mockery of his sister was like a knife stabbing him in his chest. He wanted to retort back but there's nothing
“The two of you stay here. I'll follow uncle Griswold as he might need my help”“What are you talking about? You can't just leave us like that!” the girl who was silent moments ago blurted out.“Iris! Stop acting like a child. Esmond is in trouble and I have to go there”Iris looked at her brother hatefully. Its not that she didn't want her brother to help save Esmond, it's just that if he go, no one will be here to protect them if a monster showed up.“Go if you want to go! If the both of us are attacked by savage beast and die, I promise I'll haunt you forever!” Iris furiously said, thinking that her brother didn't care about her.“Fine!” the young boy replied in irritation. He really wished to go and follow his uncle and see him fight in action against that big beast. But because of his younger sister, his chance of seeing it becomes nothing.***Swizz~ swizz~Swizzling sound of the wind could be heard as Griswold ran at an unbelievable speed. He was too fast that it was as though t
“Alright, alright... Stop dragging her like that” Esmond said seeing how determined his brother was in saving the girl's life.“You're going to help me right Big bro?” Alwyn asked sheepishly as if he was expecting him to say that.“What can I do? Do you think I'm that stone hearted?” “Yes” Alwyn replied to his question with a big bright smile.Esmond couldn't help his mouth to twitch. He could only shook his head thinking how honest his brother was.“Help me put her in my back” He said before crouching down on the ground.“Wait.. your sword is on the way. Give it to me, I'll hold it for you”“Oh right”Esmond took the sword away from his back and gave it to his brother. Just then, a huge shadow leaped out of the bush 20 meters away from them and released a thunderous roar.The two paled in fright seeing how big it was. The shadow that leaped out of the bush stood mightily, glaring at them with cold deadly eyes. It was a big wolf that has a height of five feet while standing on its fo
The preparations are done at exactly four in the morning. Alpha Broderick and his companions all kneeled on the ground, mourning for the deaths of their brothers.On the other side of them, Alpha Sebastian and his people were also doing the same thing as them. It was quite funny to look at that the two opposing packs were mourning in the same place. However, the atmosphere was heavy as everyone didn’t know the exact reason behind this war.But all of that didn't distract Broderick. He was fully focus on contemplating of what he’ll do next. The death of these people was because of him. Because of his command to declare war. He finally realize how heavy the responsibility he have as the Alpha of the pack.Moreover, Golden Hound Pack wasn’t the final destination, but rather the first step of his plan. He wasn't afraid of war nor fighting any strong warriors as he can handle them with his strength. However, his people doesn't have the same strength as him. In war, he can't guarantee everyo
'Don't be stubborn and go. He won't kill me so don't worry' Sebastian reassured seeing Terrie's hesitation.'What do you mean by that Alpha? How can you be so sure that he won't kill you?' Beta Terrie asked dumbfounded. Looking at how beaten he was and wounded under his enemy's feet. Who would believe that his enemy doesn't have any intention on killing him?'Trust me. Instead of putting yourself in trouble, might as well go and help my son recover. I don't know what his situation is right now. If anything bad happens to him, I’d rather follow him on the other side' Sebastian growled in the voice transmission. His face showed how saddened he was by what happened to his son.Beta Terrie looked towards the throne and saw Alpha Sebastian’s son on the floor whose breathing was faint and on the verge of death. After realizing the urgency of the situation, he reverted back to his human form and went towards the child.Everyone raised their guard up and stared at him suspiciously but didn't m
