"Melisam! Melisam!"Melisam whirled around to find Zloe, who was shouting as he ran towards her."Melisam!"Melisam gave a bittersweet smile. She looked at the surrounding situation, and naturally, everyone was giving the boy's behavior a strange look. Zloe seemed like a child who met an old friend, missing her after many years of no contact."Melisam?" Zloe was breathing heavily. "Are you okay?"Zloe pulled Melisam's shoulders suddenly. He examined every inch of Melisam's body. The guy confirmed that Melisam's body didn't have any severe injuries.Zloe let out a long breath. "I'm glad! I'm so glad!"Melisam smiled. "Where have you been?""Why couldn't I see you before?" asked Melisam. She glanced at the reddened wound on Zloe's wrist. "What's wrong with your wrist?"Zloe immediately hid his wrists behind his back. "It's nothing."However, Melisam already knew. Melisam grabbed Zloe's hand. She confirmed what she saw.Melisam exhaled loudly. "Did they keep you somewhere?"Zloe shook hi
Zloe and Melisam returned to the palace when sunset had come. There wasn't any dialogue between them. They were silent, trying to make sense of each other. The situation had changed. Both Zloe and Melisam think the other is awkward."I'm going to my room," Melisam said. "You can go to your room."Zloe just nodded her head. The disagreement between them still needed to be finished. The fight over who would return to the Therians had not ended. Melisam was still stubborn, and Zloe was no different. However, both of them silenced each other in the end. Zloe was reluctant to make things worse.Melisam continued walking before Zloe. She entered the palace and went towards the hallway of her room. Zloe followed behind Melisam. The man kept a comfortable distance."Why did you follow me?" Melisam stopped and turned her head. "Didn't I tell you I would return to my room?"Zloe was surprised when Melisam suddenly spoke. The young man just nodded his head."So, why are you following me?" Melisa
"We fell in love in this place."Melisam turned her head. She looked at Rula, who seemed touched by the atmosphere before her.Melisam expected this to be something other than the beauty that NorthWulf presented at night with such a cozy atmosphere. Far away from the sight of her eyes, there was a field of flowers that shone so dazzlingly. Its yellow light illuminated the surrounding area."Me and your father," Rula said again. She glanced at Melisam. "Grimmwolf's spire is both a witness and a place for both of us."Melisam smiled sweetly. "Does that mean you're going back to NorthWulf?""What can I do here?" Rula asked back. "This place has never accepted me or you, Melisam."Melisam changed her expression. She swore to stay in NorthWulf until she accomplished her desires, although she knew Rula wouldn't allow it."Melisam, you have to wake up soon." Rula turned her body to stare at Melisam. She held her daughter's shoulders. "That you're not one of NorthWulf."Melisam sighed. She re
"I would like to apologize to you personally, Melisam."Melisam was looking at Rondolf silently. She had different perceptions and assumptions about Rondolf Blackton than her mother, Rula Whitney.Melisam believed that her biological father was only an older man who wanted peace and love in his old age. He was a lonely man."So why didn't you tell me?" Melisam asked softly. "I would've heard."Rondolf grinned faintly. "I'm too shy."Melisam was silent. Her father and mother had opposing mindsets. Melisam needed to be of sufficient age to understand them.Melisam let out a long breath. "Then you don't need to apologize."Melisam leaned her chin on her lap. She looked at the scene before her. Melisam felt a little comforted in the quiet of the night when her father took her to the back of the palace."You need to apologize if you think it is your mistake." Melisam smiled bitterly. "If your shame makes you stop admitting it, don't do it."Rondolf laughed crisply. "Is that what your mothe
"Do you love Melisam?"Zloe choked when Rula approached him with a weird question. It made Zloe stiffen in place. The young man wasn't that familiar with Rula, just like Melisam wasn't familiar with her mother."Why are you looking at me in shock?" Rula laughed as she grabbed Zloe's shoulder. "I got my answer from the expression on your face this time." Rula teased Zloe.Zloe hides his embarrassment because he has never talked this intimately with Rula."Can I love Melisam?" Zloe asked later. He looked at Rula silently as if making a wish for the answer his heart desired.Rula nodded. "Why not?" she asked. Rula stood beside Zloe, leaning against the man's bedroom balcony."You always stayed by Melisam's side until now." Rula rubbed the top of Zloe's head. "You're better than me when dealing with Melisam."Zloe felt honoured. Rula's praise sent him soaring into the stars. Like a mother-in-law giving her blessing, Zloe gets the green light on his love journey."Zloe," Rula called softly
"Let me go!" Melisam pushed away the man's body before her. "I can walk on my feet!"The man looked back and saw that Melisam had stepped away from him. Both of them exchanged glances, comprehending each other."Why did you carry me here like you were dragging a thief caught red-handed?" Melisam scrunched her brow. She glared at the man."I am Melisam! I am Rondolf Blackton's biological daughter!"Rockley approached Melisam. "So, what were you doing just now?"Melisam furrowed her brow."Why were you standing there and eavesdropping on their conversation?" asked Rockley. "Do you not understand proper conduct?"Melisam was silent for a moment as she lowered her gaze. She was caught red-handed. Rockley was not at fault for taking Melisam away before Rondolf and Yarusoyya noticed her whereabouts."I wasn't eavesdropping!" Melisam tried defending herself. "I just happened to ....""Melisam." Rockley interrupted."Are you unwilling to take a lesson from past mistakes?" Rockley asked again.
"Alpha, Luna Rula wants to meet you."Rondolf looked back at the opened door after a familiar voice informed him that Rula was waiting at the entrance.Immediately, Rula walked into the room. She came formally and neatly dressed, preparing to leave this afternoon."Let's have a private conversation," Rondolf instructed the hound to leave the room immediately and closed the door. Now, he and Rula were the only ones remaining in the room.Rula smiled sweetly at him. "Do you have a moment to talk to me before I return to the Therians, Alpha?"Rondolf flashed a gracious smile. His head nodded confidently. He greeted Rula joyfully."I want to visit you after this, Rula." Rondolf walked towards Rula, about to hug her, stretching out his arms. However, Rula avoided him and chose to walk away from him.Rondolf understood the difference in Rula's demeanor. She kept her feelings to herself, acting like she was okay."What did you want to talk to me about, Rula?" asked Rondolf. He looked at Rula
"Melisam! Please wake up!"Zloe struggled to protect Melisam from the Black-wolf pack attempting to attack Melisam's body. They're targeting Melisam, which is evident from the many times Zloe has fallen to make an opportunity for them to kidnap Melisam tonight.Zloe used all his strength to defeat every werewolf that attacked him tonight. He is wounded. His arms are scratched and punctured, and so is his stomach. Although Zloe had become a full-fledged werewolf, the black wolf pack could not match his strength."Melisam! Please help!" Zloe continuously shouted. He tried to resuscitate Melisam.Finally, Zloe was surrounded. He was defeated. Everyone kept cornering him. Zloe made a slow retreat.Zloe walked back a longer distance each time, putting more distance between him and Melisam. However, Zloe cannot confront all the black wolves alone. Zloe hoped for someone to help him.Slang!Zloe jumped in surprise when a long sword slashed at one of the werewolves before him."Luna!" Zloe cr
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
