Rula decided to stop arguing with Rondolf. After all, Rondolf had other jobs. He had some urgent issues that he needed to take care of.Rula chose not to follow the man. She was taking a walk in the region north of Lew-Longdon. Rula was unaware that this location was crowded. This village looked to have first vanished and then resurfaced. The last time she arrived, she was welcomed by a desolate atmosphere, and the destruction of the main palace was a wound in her heart."Is there a market here?" Rula took a step to the right. The atmosphere was much more lively, almost like a party."The Alpha invites some pack from the werewolf, Luna, to some sort of celebration on the weekend once a year."Rula isn't alone. She's with Mirha, a she-werewolf maid.Rula looked at her. "Some kind of gathering from every corner of town?" she wondered. "Who can attend is not restricted?"Mirha nodded in agreement. "All free for two days to NorthWulf's northern area, Luna."However, there is a limit they
Rula crawled in fear. She tried to stay away from the giant creature. It's useless to scream for help. People won't hear it."You can't run from me, Luna." The man's voice sounded so clear. Like a bolt of lightning, it sounded highly terrifying to Rula.Rula tried quickly to get up and run away from him, but her legs were forcefully grabbed. Rula's body is dragged outside the border area of NorthWulf."Help me!" Rula shouted."Help me! Help!" She thrashed.Tears streamed down her cheeks as she was dragged further into the thicker forest."Help!"The werewolf laughed in satisfaction at Rula's whining."Nothing can save you, Luna!" He burst out laughing. "I really didn't expect it would be this easy to kill you."Rula stared at the giant statue in front of her. "Who are you?"The werewolf crouched in front of Rula. His body still looked so muscular that it blocked the sunlight behind his back."You completely forgot about me?" he asked Rula. "You don't remember we met before?"Rula only
Rula is so traumatized. Since Rondolf had brought her home, Rula had not said a word. She was silent, frozen in place."The wound doesn't hurt?" Rondolf kept watching Rula from a corner of the room. Mirha, who was treating the wounds on Rula's cheek and neck, was also surprised because Rula didn't scream in pain when the medicine touched her wound.Rondolf has yet to receive a response from Rula. The girl is daydreaming."Rula? You're ignoring me?" Rondolf approached her. "I'm talking to you."Rula turned around. She glanced at Rondolf secretly—empty eyes have no special meaning."What's wrong with you?" Rondolf demanded an explanation. "I hope you will explain whatever happened to you before."Rula sighed. The restlessness in Rula's heart had not wanted to go away since earlier, even though the woman had tried to stay calm."You know what Rongue told me?" Rula could no longer contain the anxiety in her heart. She would make that anxiety explode in front of Rondolf.Rula sighed. "He
"Rockley?" Rula approached him. The man was sitting on the balcony of the watchtower, gazing into the deep darkness among the trees. Rockley looked up when he saw Rula approaching him. He greeted her with a respectful obeisance. "Luna, What are you doing here?" Rockley asked her. "Can I help you?" The hierarchy in this place began to frustrate Rula. She was greeted with respect and venerated as a goddess. In reality, Rula had the distinct impression that she came from the womb of a farmer of vegetables. "Nothing." Unceremoniously, Rula walked past Rockley. At night, the city will begin quieting down from people passing by. Only the light from large torches shines in the darkness. The atmosphere was typical of the middle of the forest, with the sound of crickets together in an irregular melody. "I asked Rondolf an easy question," Rula said suddenly. She glanced at Rockley, who approached her. Rockley did not want to jump to conclusions about the reason for Rula's arrival a
"He kills whoever he wants?" Rula's mind was always in a state of turmoil. It is difficult to predict the figure of Rondolf Blackton. He is an unpredictable man. Someone opens the bedroom door. Rondolf soon arrived in more comfortable clothes. The man was done with his work. He returned to NorthWulf; this was the first time anyone knew where he went. "Why aren't you asleep yet, Luna?" Rondolf took off his fur cloak. He glanced at Rula, who was silent. Rockley's statements about Rondolf still overshadowed Rula. "I asked you, Luna." Rondolf walked towards her. "Why are you silent?" Rula avoided the man's approach as she grabbed his arm. She stepped aside so Rondolf could pass and decided to sit on the bed. Rondolf became aware of Rula's anger with him. Afterward, he went over to her. "Are you angry with me, Luna?" Rondolf knelt before Rula. "Does this have anything to do with what happened earlier?" Rula caught Rondolf's eyes. Actually, this man always interested Rula's atte
"Who's Shore?""An old friend."Rondolf left his place. Without batting an eye, Rula kept her eyes on Rondolf's back. Rula was still trying to figure out who Shore was and how an acquaintance had persuaded Rondolf to get ready to meet him this morning."Close friend?" Rula approached Rondolf. "How close are you to the Shore?"Rondolf distracted him. He just stared at Rula. "We were hunting partners in our youth," replied Randolf.Even though Rula looked confused, she couldn't express her curiosity."Are you done?" Rondolf noticed Rula's style.The raffle-accented, embroidered dress looks so elegant for Rula's morning appearance. The fine fur knit runs along her chest until it covers her back. The lace collar style leaves Rula's shoulders exposed in the middle of summer. Her long hair was curled up, leaving a few strands beside her ears.Rondolf nodded after observing Rula's appearance. "You're wonderful, Rula."Even now, Rula could not understand why Mirha woke her up early in the mor
Rula looked closely at this place as if finding an object of interest, and she even ignored Rondolf and Shore."This place ...." Rula again watched in silence. "It's beautiful," she said in one sentence.Rondolf was enjoying tea with Shore in the meeting room. He didn't bother with how Rula enjoyed this place's scenery, far from being an authoritative Luna. Rula was just a little girl mesmerized by Owein's palace's beauty."It's good to see you here, Rondolf." Shore started the conversation. The awkwardness was trying to be overcome after decades of not seeing Rondolf.Shore pushed a plate of cookies to Rondolf. "Eat one. That's how you honor the modern traditions of this place, Alpha."Rondolf glanced at Rula. She was still wandering around with her eyes, not yet satisfied with admiring this place."She will adjust soon." Shore understood Rondolf's discomfort with Rula. "I understand her, Alpha."Rondolf returned his eyes to Shore. He was a guest, so he had to respect Shore, who had
"Are you mad at me, Rula?"Rodolf lost his vocabulary as he received Rula's disapproving look. Rondolf was curious to know if he had made a terrible mistake by keeping Rula at arm's length from him. He was only at fault for not doing anything when Yarusoyya insulted Rula."I'm sorry, Rula." This was Rondolf's umpteenth apology.He took Rula's hand and held it. "I know I was wrong for not fighting Yarusoyya. However, I can't do it as Alpha."Rula looked at Rondolf. A flash of anger filled her irises."I'll ensure something like that doesn't happen again, Rula." Rondolf grinned thinly. He shortened his vertical distance from Rula, creating a familiarity between them."I will pay for my mistakes, Rula." Rondolf persuaded Rula. "I'm taking you to the Republic of East Maddison."Rondolf did keep his promise. This man brought Rula over to the elite city with unparalleled charm. However, Rula's anger had already exploded in her heart. She was offended, and Rula feared her position would be r
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
