"Your name is Simon Wade?"Simon nodded. "I am your mother's friend, Rula Whitey," he said. "I am her close friend."Melisam didn't believe him immediately. Her eyes were carefully scrutinizing Simon Wade's features. This man was not at all suspicious."Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Simon as he munched on the roast he had brought from town. "Do I look strange?""My mother said I should be careful with strangers, especially if it's a man," Melisam replied indifferently. " A bad thing could happen to me."Simon interrupted his meal. He looked at Melisam intently. Afterwards, he laughed crisply."Shouldn't I be the one on my guard?" Simon pointed at himself. "You are the daughter of an alpha. You're a werewolf," Simon said confidently."Even if I intended to harm you, I'd immediately cancel my intention when I knew who you were," Simon said with a chuckle."You could have killed me even if I had committed a crime against you." Simon ended his sentence and continued eating.
"My father killed my mother's friends."Melisam was filled with uncertainty in her mind. All her expectations about her father were jumbled. The delusion of a benevolent and loving father was effortlessly shattered."Simon might be lying to you." Zloe tried to put Melisam's mind at ease. "Wouldn't it be better if you asked your mother first?"Melisam did not answer."Or you could ask your father at least. That would be better." Zloe rubbed Melisam's back gently. "To be honest, I hate seeing you like this."Melisam looked at Zloe. "What do you see in me?""Can't you have a quiet life?" Zloe interrupted again. "I mean, let's enjoy our days of youth.""We can do crazy things, make reckless decisions sometimes, and then try to handle it like any other young person." Zloe mused. "That's how I want your life to be, Melisam."Melisam shook her head. She resumed her footsteps. "I can't do that.""What do you want to do?" Zloe followed Melisam's footsteps.Melisam fell silent. Her eyes were fi
Melisam finished her conversation with Rockley. Rockley was trapped there, and she was unable to free him. Additionally, Rockley advised her to refrain from bothering because doing so would worsen matters.Since Melisam had recently been problematic, she had little choice but to obey him."Melisam!"Melisam turned around when Alletis called to her cheerfully. The little boy ran towards her, carrying a bowl of his favorite candies."Would you like some of my candies?" asked Alletis. He handed Melisam the candy he held in his hand. His smile closely mirrored Rondolf Blackton's.Alletis and Melisam had similar face types. If someone looks closely, they both inherited their father's smile.Melisam crouched down. "Where did you get this many candies?" asked Melisam."I'm sure Alpha Rondolf wouldn't allow you to eat so much candy," Melisam chuckled.Alletis pouted. "Don't tell my father about this. He'll scold me."Melisam took the candy that Alletis handed her. "How about if we swap candie
"Alletis ate a poisonous lollipop?"Yarusoyya was furious. She had let her emotions get the best of her. She was the only one who had almost fainted after getting the news that Alletis had eaten poison.Yarusoyya sighed harshly. She circulated her eyes, looking at every person in this room.No one dared to return Yarusoyya's gaze; they avoided eye contact like they feared getting a cursed"Tell me, who allowed Alletis to eat something from outside this palace?" Yarusoyya asked in a firm voice."Who has given my son sweets that could damage his teeth?" Yarusoyya snapped.A Mirha without fear. The woman's stocky body trembled violently. She was the culprit—the one who gave Alletis a bowl of sweet candy."Is that you, Mirha?" Yarusoyya noticed the suspicious behaviour.She approached Mirha. "I ask you one more time!" She snapped. Yarusoyya lost her sanity. As a mother, this was a natural response."Mirha!" Yarusoyya snapped again. "Answer me, or I will execute you!"Mirha knelt and crie
"Did you intend to kill Alletis?" Rondolf regarded his daughter pitifully; he didn't want to believe it, but all of the evidence was on Melisam's side.Melisam concurred. Additionally, she gave Mirha the candy bowl back. Melisam said it was her responsibility.Melisam lowered her gaze. In a dungeon, she was imprisoned like a prisoner.Rondolf couldn't face the thought of his daughter being imprisoned in a hot, dark place without ventilation. However, this was the law—a proper response to someone trying to harm the royal family."Melisam, I have a question for you right now." Rondolf attempted to coerce Melisam into speaking. The girl has been silent ever since she was locked up."I think I can help you if you clarify with me, Melisam," Rondolf persuaded. "I will try to place your punishment ....""Zloe." Melisam looked at Rondolf. "Please keep him out of this."Rondolf frowned. "Melisam, are you thinking about others more than you think about yourself?"Rondolf caught sight of the fig
"NorthWulf's cursed Alpha has returned!""The cursed Alpha is receiving an executed!""The hottest news! Please come to the palace grounds to witness the execution of the returned Princess Alpha!"Rondolf was filled with anxiety. Melisam had caused him to be sleepless all night. Negative feelings, especially about his daughter's punishment today, stormed his mind."Who instructed NorthWulf's people to come to the palace?" Rondolf whispered to Rockley.Rondolf added. "Remember how I said this matter needed to be kept under wraps?""Nobody should be aware of Melisam's whereabouts." Rondolf let out a long breath. "Now all the chaos will explode."Rockley was speechless. He wanted to know about Rula's plan. Until this morning, when her daughter was seated on the execution chair, Rula had not shown herself."Should I expel all the people who come, Alpha?" asked Rockley.Rondolf shook his head. "They already know. We were too late to stop this from happening.""Alpha!" A werewolf shouted fr
"You can't kill my daughter!"Rula appeared with tremendous authority. She was wearing a warrior's armour, a long robe, and a sword, causing all eyes to be on her.Melisam was smiling crookedly. The girl's head was nodding then. "I expected that my mother would be awesome!"Yarusoyya was silent suddenly. Her mouth couldn't speak because her body had frozen.Rula gestured to some bodyguards who had arrived with her. Shortly after, two bodyguards dragged the battered man's body.Everyone was whispering. All of the people were wondering about what was going on there."I came to retrieve someone with the antidote for the poison your son consumed, Alpa!" said Rula.Rula swung her sword, aimed at the neck of the kneeling man before her now. "The one who poisons must have an antidote."Rondolf frowned. He looked at Rula from afar. Rula's speech and appearance underwent a significant change. Therians had entirely made his ex-wife peerless."Tell them the truth!" Rula bellowed. However, there
"Rula, I appreciate you coming here." Rondolf wanted to hold Rula's shoulders, but Rula kept her distance from him.Rula smiled faintly. "I came to pick up my daughter.""Melisam has been in this place for too long. Your people also know of her whereabouts, and it would be dangerous for Melisam." Rula spoke formally.A hierarchy had formed between them. Rondolf and Rula had gone too far to get back together. Rula had harboured a profound love for Rondolf that she could not dig out anymore."Thank you for giving my daughter a proper place, Alpha." Rula bowed politely. "I also apologize for ...."Rondolf could not contain his longing. He hugged Rula suddenly. The warm embrace felt like it melted them into the same atmosphere."Don't create any restrictions with me, Rula," Rondolf murmured. "My love has never diminished."Rula didn't answer, and her body stiffened. Rula's memories wandered to the past, to the scene where she was banished. Rondolf only cared about his position as Alpha an
One week has passed. Melisam witnessed a significant transformation in her life. She didn't need to hide her face, and her attendance had been blessed.All the people of NorthWulf were praising her. Everyone claimed Melisam's greatness."Alpha Melisam!"Melisam turned her head. An older woman was running towards her. She was carrying a basket of fresh meat for Melisam.She instructed Melisam, "Bring it home and eat it with your mother."Melisam smiled sweetly. "Call me Melisam," she replied. "No need for an Alpha title.""Hey, who are you?" The older woman shook her head. "You are the Alpha of this place, and you will take your father's place."Melisam replied. "My father hasn't retired yet," Melisam said. She insisted. "I am his daughter, but I am not an Alpha yet.""This is the same!" The woman insisted. She forced Melisam to accept the basket of fresh meat. "Eat this with your mother."Melisam laughed. "Thank you, Lady."Melisam grabbed the woman's hand just as she walked away. "Wh
"Your father will be fine."Melisam was relieved to hear that. She looked at Thalius hopefully. "Then, how about my mother?"Rula caught up after all the chaos in the palace."Fortunately, they quickly carried your mother to the nearest hospital in the city. So, she can be rescued." Thalius patted Melisam on the shoulder. "You do not need to be worried, Melisam."Thalius smiled kindly. "Rondolf Blackton is physically strong, and the poison in the needle has not spread throughout his body. We have responded quickly."Melisam was nodding. She sighed once more. "Thank you, Thalius."Melisam was about to leave, but Thalius grabbed her wrist. "Melisam?""What's wrong?" asked Melisam. She let Thalius finish his sentence again."Aren't you a little curious about how Alletis has been treated?" asked Thalius.Alletis was not dead. He was only suffering from a severe wound. Thalius struggled to treat these wounds. He had spent all night working intensively on Alletis' injuries.Melisam smiled w
The sun has risen. Warm sunshine shone as morning broke. However, the attack was not over. Melisam was constantly struggling to protect the ailing Alletis. Alletis' wounds began to worsen. He had an infection in a few of his body areas.Melisam began to weaken. She couldn't raise her sword anymore. However, Melisam had become the only hope to save the NorthWulf people who survived. She also had a significant burden of guilt in her heart. This mess was all her fault."We will leave NorthWulf if you give him to me." A werewolf from Man-wolf aimed a sword at Melisam.All the people of NorthWulf were terrified and could only hide while watching it from a distance.Melisam had spent the night struggling to protect everyone and the NorthWulf palace."I will not do it," Melisam said softly. She was breathing deeply. "You're the ones who need to get out of here."The man grinned. "Alletis belongs to Owein! He's part of Man-wolf! Then he'll come back with us!"Melisam had defeated all the wild
"Did you think you could kill me, dammit!" Yarusoyya kicked Rula's body away from her.Yarusoyya pulled out a dagger from her pocket. She pointed the dagger at Rula's heart. However, Rula dodged nimbly. The dagger stuck to the floor.Rula caught her breath. She was ready to counter Yarusoyya's stab."You've deceived us all to believe that you're crippled!" said Yarusoyya as she walked towards Rula.Meanwhile, Rula struggled to get up as best she could while grabbing her stomach because the dagger had pierced her abdomen."Why did you decide to kill me when you knew an ordinary human like you wouldn't trounce me?" said Yarusoyya.Rula began to take a stance. She pointed the tip of her dagger at Yarusoyya. "Back off!""You started the war with me. Why should I back off?" Yarusoyya laughed."I will kill you," Yarusoyya said. She quickened her footsteps."Kya!"Yarusoyya and Rula attacked each other. Rula was agile in deflecting Yarusoyya's attacks, while Yarusoyya used all her strength t
Melisam shot her arrows at every werewolf she felt was dangerous. Melisam noticed the chaos in front of her was increasing, and she didn't just let it happen. Melisam's empathy couldn't be lost entirely.Melisam looked at the place where Alletis was. The boy seemed overwhelmed by facing the encroaching werewolves. Alletis was dragged out of the palace and was exposed to the people who trusted Alletis to lead NorthWulf in the future.Melisam paused, then she picked up the last arrow."I can't allow it," Melisam muttered.All the chaos had engulfed every corner of this place. The fire was raging, burning everything in its path."Let him die." Marcco's voice suddenly caught Melisam's attention. The man finally appeared before her.Melisam shook her head. "The battle is over.""Everyone in NorthWulf has witnessed their Alpa's defeated performance," she said. "They have decided that the Alletis are not worthy of taking the throne."Melisam had a sense of the situation. She concluded how sc
"Melisam!" Alletis shouted. He tried to find Melisam's whereabouts."Melisam! Where are you?"Unfortunately, Alletis did not get any response. However, he did not give up. Alletis was about to exit the palace gate. However, a bulky werewolf suddenly intercepted him. He suddenly appeared in front of Alletis.Alletis was terrified. It was the first time he faced a bulky werewolf directly."Who are you?" Alletis tried to grab her sword. Unfortunately, a werewolf in front of him kicked the sword away.Alletis began to scream. "Help! Somebody, please help me!"Alletis's scream attracted the hounds. Hounds immediately battled the werewolf with all their strength. The more wolves went into the palace. It was in contrast to the hounds remaining in the castle."Who are you?" Alletis snapped. He stood up and instantly grabbed his sword. Alletis used the martial skill he had learned, but his strength needed to be more powerful. Alletis could have been more proficient with a sword.Alletis fell a
Six hours she had passed.Melisam walked out of her room. She changed her clothes. A suit of armor protected her body with a long sword in her left pocket. She prepared for tonight's war.In the middle of her footsteps, Melisam meets with Alletis. The boy stopped her steps and his look of astonishment at Melisam's appearance tonight."Do you want to have a battle?" asked Alletis.Melisam did not answer. She released Alletis's hand slowly."Mom and Dad have left, so I don't have anyone to talk to," Alletis added. "I know that our conversation earlier ended badly."Melisam continued to stare at the boy's face in front of her. She couldn't bear it, so she tried to look away. However, the wild werewolves were on their way. Chaos was about to ensue."Melisam?" asked Alletis again. "Why are you so quiet?"Alletis tried to persuade Melisam."Are you still angry with me because of my statement yesterday?" she asked again. "If you are angry about that, I will apologize."Alletis smiled sweetly
Rondolf and Rula had left NorthWulf with the best hounds Melisam had instructed to guard her mother and father.Only Melisam and Alletis remained in the palace. Rockley would also be left to guard the border tonight, and Simon was back in town to meet his family.Thalius could not help much, and the older man was not qualified to fight against all those wild werewolves.Melisam looked at the flower fields in the distance. As long as Rondolf and Rula were away from NorthWulf, the Grimmwolf Shield Peak was under her control."Melisam?"Thalius approached Melisam. He brought a cup of hot tea to the girl on a tray."Do you feel lonely even though Rondolf and Rula just left?" he asked. Thalius smiled.Thalius handed her a cup of hot tea. The palace seemed to be quiet as some of the guards had left with Rula and Rondolf.Melisam shook her head. "I just enjoy loneliness.""I never felt like this after all the troubles that always come to me." Melisam turned to Thalius. "Aren't you returning
"Was the boy with you earlier Alletis?"Melisam nodded her head. "We are finally reunited after the incident that happened yesterday." The girl turned to Marcco. "You have gotten the story from the letter I sent you."Marcco nodded his head. "I saw him for the first time.""What do you think of him?" asked Melisam. "Isn't he a cute boy?"Marcco shrugged his shoulders. He did not answer Melisam's question."Marcco," Melisam called softly. She grabbed Marcco's shoulders to stop their footsteps.Marcco looked back at Melisam. He waited for her to continue her sentence."About our plan ....""Are you thinking of stopping in the middle of the way?" Marcco asked.Melisam was silent. She stared at the young man."Have you forgotten I warned you that you cannot suddenly change your thoughts?" Marcco asserted. "Everything has happened. You can't just stop."Melisam sighed. She had doubts in her heart after having spoken with Alletis earlier."I have provoked them," Marcco spoke again. "That is
