"Mom! Mom! Where are you?"Melisam shouted along the palace hallway. She ignored all the glances that were directed at her. Melisam felt concerned because the hound didn't say anything else. He just told Melisam to go back to the palace.Melisam barged into the bedroom where her mother had been treated earlier. She was surprised when she didn't see anyone in the room. The panic inside her was getting the better of her. Melisam couldn't think clearly."Mother! Where's mom?" Melisam walked out of the room again. She darted her eyes around the hallway of the palace. She finally found her mother's whereabouts.Rula was sitting in a wheelchair and looking at the bright sky this afternoon. Her body was still weak, so she couldn't walk around or meet her daughter yet."Mom?" Melisam approached Rula. "Are you okay?" she asked.Rula turned her head. A smile blossomed when she looked at her daughter's beautiful face.Rula spread her hands. "Come here. I missed you so much.""Are you getting bet
"You haven't answered my question, Alpha.""Do you have an intention to kill your biological daughter?"Melisam was standing behind the door. She was about to knock on the door, but after hearing Xabar's voice, she decided against it.Xabar was not the only one curious about Alpha Rondolf Blackton's answer. Melisam was also interested. Deep in her heart, Melisam continuously denied that her father was trying to kill her.Repeatedly, Melisam tried to think. She just hoped that it was all a nightmare."What do you think?" Rondolf's voice interjected.Melisam strained her ears. Without the hound's presence, she could eavesdrop as much as she wanted."Do you think I want to kill Melisam?" asked Rondolf.For a few moments, there were no sounds to be heard. In the room, nobody was speaking. Melisam became curious, and she frowned, attempting to guess what was happening inside."I'm not sure," Xabar said.Melisam tapped her ears again. She eavesdropped intently, not missing a word."Why aren
"Have you decided to stay here, Luna?"Xabar was stunned to hear Rula's affirmation. He was surprised, naturally. Before that, Rula had been the first to oppose her daughter's return to NorthWulf.Rula nodded her head. She had a great deal of conviction. Her decision was absolute."Luna?" Xabar called out softly. "Have you been thinking about your decision?" he asked.Rula shrugged her shoulders. "I will accompany my daughter here, Xabar.""I cannot take her to return to the Therians, so I will accompany her to live here," Rula replied steadily.Xabar sat at the edge of the sofa. He scrutinized the expression on Rula's face, which was so confident. She had already made her decision."I'm sorry, Xabar," Rula added later.Xabar sighed. "I will not be disappointed if you have made an absolute decision, Luna.""I will respect your decision," Xabar said.Rula gave him a sweet smile. She respected the man's statement."Luna, I have something to talk to you about," Xabar said. He changed the
Zloe felt brimming over with anger and disappointment. He intended to bring Melisam and Rula back to Therians and live peacefully with them. However, Melisam had disappointed him. Zloe never expected the girl would go so far."Zloe?" Xabar met with Zloe. He was walking towards him when Zloe stopped and glanced back at Xabar.Xabar smiled. " I see you're in a bad mood," Xabar said.Zloe sighed. "Melisam has become different!" He grumbled. "It's like I don't recognize her at all. Melisam has been blinded by revenge."At the sight of Zloe, who was grumbling incessantly, Xabar laughed. Zloe was speechless with wonder."Do you think what I said just now is a joke?" Zloe asked again. He was also annoyed at Xabar.Xabar led Zloe's footsteps away from the few hounds keeping watch in the palace hallway.Xabar and Zloe were on the palace's back terrace, watching a fish pond in front of them. The gurgling of the water fountain was like a calming melody for both."Zloe." Xabar made the conversati
Zloe and Xabar have left NorthWulf. It hadn't gone well; Zloe was reluctant to make eye contact with Melisam. Deep in Zloe's heart, the anger and disappointment had settled firmly.Melisam would be satisfied with Zloe's lack of support. Melisam would understand that Zloe was concerned about her."You have no shame!"When Melisam was about to go to the peak of the Grimmwolf shield tower, Yarusoyya intercepted her halfway.Yarusoyya's stare was fierce. The flames of her anger were so intense.Melisam smiled with a knot. "I don't know what you mean, Yarusoyya.""You should know where you went wrong!" Yarusoyya spoke angrily. Her rough voice gave the impression of a mild argument between them.Melisam furrowed her brows. "I don't understand what you mean, Yarusoyya.""You and your mother should return to the Therians with Xabar and Zloe!" said Yarusoyya. "Instead of staying here and causing trouble."Melisam chuckled. "Do you mean the trouble in your heart?""Do you feel threatened when I
"I will not tell you because it is my secret.""Whatever you want to do, please do not destroy NorthWulf, because this place witnessed the first love between Rula and me. I appreciate it deeply."Rondolf's voice lingered in her mind. She never seemed to be able to take her mind with her with every step she took.Melisam was anxious. She knew she could not wholly become villainous to fulfil all her planned revenge. However, Melisam had stepped far; if she went back, her sacrifices would only be in vain."Melisam!"Melisam turned her head. She saw that Alletis had become a mature boy. A werewolf's development was much faster than an ordinary human's.Melisam smiled kindly. "I'm pleased to see you today, Alletis.""Me too!" Alletis approached Melisam. She appreciated Melisam's presence here, unlike how his mother felt."What about your health?" asked Melisam. The two of them stepped together.Alletis presented herself, referring to his health. "I am better.""Some days, I feel like I've
"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
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
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
