The authority has been placed over Aesthelia for several days now. It wasn't pleasant at all. She had to wake up early in the morning, and now she had to train a hundred wolves without even knowing what to do.
Aesthelia was clueless. She was even thinking that she could propose yoga, but, of course, that wouldn't work either. These wolves like to use their claws and they like to draw blood. Aesthelia doesn't have any idea what kind of training they do. She attended the assembly twice; the first one, a duel, and the second one, a hunting event.
Aesthelia wore a comfortable suit. She asked her human servants to make her a modern t-shirt and pants. It was a new fashion, so everyone looked at her weirdly, but she didn't care. Her sweats rolled down her face as she kept shouting at those wolves who were slacking off.
They don't train seriously. They find it hard to obey a word that comes from Aesthelia. Wolves are prideful beings. They felt much bet
The training lasts until it gets dark. Aesthelia granted some of the wolves' wishes for a sparring session. She paired them according to their strength and ranking.Aesthelia sat back and watched carefully as the wolves moved at incredible speed and fought like they were on a real battlefield. Well, werewolves can heal faster than normal human beings, and plus, their salutary skills are excellently skilled. So they don't have anything to worry about, except if anything goes wrong and they end up going for each other's throats.Aesthelia shook her head, silently complaining. Why did she have to be assigned to manage this stubborn creature?"Did you see that? That's amazing! " A wolf cheered from the crowd. All of them were having fun, watching in envy. To Aesthelia's surprise, it caught Aesthelia's attention. She stood up unconsciously when she saw a spurt of blood. This was a fight between women; she anticipated that they would take it seriou
The night has passed by. Aesthelia's eyes saw the light that came through, which meant that the sun had already come up. Vampires have always been sensitive to the sun. They can't withstand it, but if they have enough energy or drink enough blood, they can. They can roam around freely underneath the blazing sun.Aesthelia was trying to distract the vampire with their conversation all night. It was a success because it was already dawn.No one came to rescue her until now, though it might actually be hard to find her. Aesthelia was still hoping that the others could smell her scent at least; that's the only trace of her being there."What do you say, Ivan?" Aesthelia asked what his answer was to her proposed deal. She said she would lend a hand in assisting his purpose of breaking through the territory.She learns that his name is Ivan.Aesthelia was curious, even if she was faking it. Even if it was convincing enough, the vampire was he
The silence engulfed the whole place, the library overwhelmed with the smell of book pages. If Aesthelia knew that this place was the most relaxing one, she'd be here all the time. She felt like dancing through the clouds as the books piled up.Since the day Aesthelia was abducted by a vicious and dangerous creature that they needed to be wary of, she spent her time inside the library searching for more about the wolf spirit.Aesthelia was given days off as a trainer, and Gior has been filling in for her for a few days now.Aesthelia was so fascinated just by imagining what happened back then. She couldn't believe what she saw. It looks divine and pure; no wonder she can't rid herself of the image out of her mind.'I need to stop spacing out,' Aesthelia thought as she slapped her cheeks to keep herself in focus.Aesthelia abruptly stood up, which startled the other bookworms in the room. No one dared make a sound, not until now. Aesthel
The three stared at the empty hallway before them, and just like that, it was empty once the clock passed 9 o'clock.Aesthelia was the one who initiated taking a step forward, and the two followed after. The creaking sound on the wooden floor can be heard whenever they are taking steps."What are you planning, if may I ask?" Gior whispered as they approached even nearer the library's door. For some unknown reason, he had this urge to stay with Aesthelia, especially when he saw this young lady standing on the railing of her balcony.Aesthelia was perplexed as to why they were breaking in through the door; was this what they meant by "politely sneaking" when they could break in through the open window, but it would be difficult with three of them. The window was too small compared to the buffed wolves she was with.Gior was puzzled as to what was interesting in that room. Everyone's allowed to enter the library and read books as much as they can
After a moment of silence, Aesthelia found herself staring way too long as the train of thoughts ran through her mind. That is why she decided to keep that piece of paper without saying anything else to the two people she was with. It's a good thing the two didn't seem to push the topic further."Why did it get here?" Aesthelia asked herself that question. She remembered everything Flo had said about the traveling merchant who spent his time traveling from one location to another with the book itself.If that book was from somewhere outside the pack, why would a piece of it be inside this library's restricted area? It is a mystery that she has to unlock. She just hopes to find some clues or so.Now is not the time to dwell on it since they have limited time to wonder around here before others notice. It worries Aesthelia, even though the whole place is empty.Aesthelia began to explore one more time to find anything useful and effective in sum
Aesthelia stayed up all night reading the book she got from the library's restricted area. She was escorted back home by the two werewolves she was with.The book was about summoning a wolf. She was wondering why they would hide it there when it is normal for a werewolf to summon their wolf spirit. There must be some sort of reason why, like how it's not safe, or that the book was so important that they placed it in there. Aesthelia was too confused. She was trying to rack her brain for an answer.'I don't know,' Aesthelia thought as her eyes scanned the book. Even if she wanted to just ask to make things easier for herself, she can't because she'll have to face the consequences for allowing her curiosity to win.She had never been like this before, except if there was a book, interesting enough to make her stay up all night.Aesthelia's eyes widened when she remembered a certain piece of information. She's read it in every wolf novel she's read. If a
The wind was so strong that it made Aesthelia's hat fly. She tried to catch it, but no, she couldn't as it was now unreachable.Marie wouldn't let Aesthelia go without proper clothing that would protect her in cold weather. Aesthelia was shocked earlier to find Marie frantically searching for her.Aesthelia clutched the fur coat, which was said to have belonged to her late mother.Aesthelia was so caught up in it that she didn't notice Gior's stare while he was still carrying her suitcase. He wore a white top and khaki colored pants.They are in an open field right now because Aesthelia needed to do what the book instructed her to. Gior, who couldn't let Aesthelia wander around after the incident that happened with the vampire, tagged along."Oh, shoot. I got distracted, "Aesthelia mumbled as her eyes diverted away.Aesthelia felt like they were out on a picnic, which was uncalled for to imagine. They might be on good
Aesthelia felt as if her body had gone through tremendous training for her to feel this heavy as she squirmed in her sleep.She was breathing heavily as she gained consciousness and the memory of summoning a wolf spirit came crashing into her mind, which made her sit up in a sitting position.Aesthelia immediately let her eyes examine the place she was in. It's a surprise for her to find herself in her own room."I guess I was brought back by Gior," Aesthelia mumbled as she massaged her temples. Her headache isn't a joke, and it hurts like hell.Aesthelia wonders if the magic circle is still there. She'd have to try again. She almost succeeded, but the mana from that time was too much for her to black out. Does Aesthelia need to do some physical work before doing it again? So she will last a long time, at least until they do the summoner and spirit contract.Aesthelia felt as if someone had been staring at her since earlier. Even
They stood there in silence. No one dared utter a single word. They were waiting for someone to break that silence.Gior was staring at Aesthelia. It had been so long since the last time he stared at that beauty. He lasted a year and it killed him, but now, he could feel himself tearing up in happiness as he once again met her and was reminded by her face. He did not forget her. Gior smiled as he laid his arms wide open, waiting for a warm hug from Aesthelia. Even though they were two Aesthelia, he recognized the one that he had come to love and the one who transmigrated into their world.Aesthelia, who got teary-eyed, rushed over to Gior and asked, "How did you get here?""Love finds its way," Gior answered vaguely as he kissed her forehead.The one thing he always imagined he must have done, he always regretted how he didn't cherish her."I thought that the Alpha wouldn't change," The other Aesthelia stepped up with her arms crossed, and when she noticed that all eyes were on her, s
Gior felt himself falling from an average height, which caused the pain he was experiencing to lessen. The portal appears to be hanging in the air. The shivering cold air seized control of the burns he was already feeling.Gior attempted to close his eyes in order to concentrate on shifting, but to no avail. He found it impossible. Gior plummeted to the ground face first in a couple of seconds before he can even even think of a solution.He quickly raised to his feet and massaged his nose. The mud on his clothing was brushed off. His wandering gaze discovered him encircled by tall trees.After him, there was another deafening thud.Gior asked with wide eyes, "What were you guys thinking by following me here? Do you guys know how dangerous it is?"Without really caring about the enraged Alpha, Flo assisted Marie in getting to her feet and checked on his mate. He turned his head to face the Alpha after making sure Marie was in fact fine and had no scratches."Let me ask you, Alpha, what
The relationship between humanity and supernatural creatures has greatly improved. Each person has a certain task to complete. Despite the setbacks, they are driven to continue living. Despite the fact that the werewolves had nothing to do with the humans, the war was won. They offered to assist in relocating the bodies and properly buried them. countless unforeseen tragedies.Time flew by.And after a year, the empires that were on the edge of collapsing from the vampires' attempts at oppression are now little by little recovering from the casualties caused by the war. Everyone is in a state of grief for the losses, but they know that sooner or later they have to embrace everything that happened.The empire that was once sparkling with elegance was left as an abandoned and hunted castle. No one dared to stay in it as it reminded them of how tragic it was last year.The survivors once again built new infrastructure and repaired what was destroyed.The supernatural beings who were hidi
The strategic defense of Aesthelia is like an iron wall. No vampires could pass through, and by the time Aesthelia decided to go—it started crumbling a little. The absence of a strategist made the team hesitate."Keep pushing, warriors!" Flo shouted, which made everyone snap out of it. He took over coaching immediately.Flo quickly stood on his feet as he transformed back. As a beta, it is his obligation to lead. "Do as he says," Marie commanded her fellow-humans.Marie grabbed the sword. She was about to go, to protect her lady, but Flo intervened and said, "Marie, snap out of it." When Flo touches Marie, a flash of spark flows through him. He knew at that moment that Marie was his mate. The sudden realization took him seconds as his eyes drowned deep in his own mate's eyes. He momentarily forgot the situation they were in— not until Marie struggled to get out of his touch."Aesthelia has the blessing." She can defeat him. " Flo stated, and he added, "You are much needed here to k
Aesthelia collided with Gior's arm. That is when they clearly felt the spark when their skin touched. It only means they are fated to be mates—mates with an uncontrollable bond. Gior snapped out of his anger. He became relaxed under Aesthelia's touch, and he almost lost all of his reasoning earlier when he saw Aesthelia's being injured and just mindlessly attacked.This is the first time Aesthelia realized it. Now that explains why Aesthelia shows that behavior. The hostility against Merideth, how her wolf disappeared, and why her emotions are affected by anything that involves Gior."We are mates?" Aesthelia asked in confusion. However, Aesthelia already knew the answer. "Yes." Gior said, straight-staring at her eyes. His eyes became soft; the relentlessness that he felt vanished in an instant."What a sweet reunion that you have forgotten about me," The vampire king muttered amused while clapping his hands, trying to gain everyone's attention. "How can I forget about you?""When
The more her breath hitches, the more her heart beats. Lurking inside the enemy's dangerous teritorry can be nerve-wrecking and terrifying. Aesthelia felt like she will bath on her own nervous sweat. She wanted to ignore how her knee trembled for a second when the vampire stared down at her earlier—she felt as if the vampire could have snapped her neck in a minute. The eyes of predators who carefully observe their prey's movements are far scarier than any horror films she has seen."The difference is—I am one of the people who's on the death list now." Aesthelia was lost in her own thoughts. She voiced them out with a sadder-chuckling tone. At least Merideth is with them right now. They can get closer and interrogate the vampire to plan the escape. Aesthelia can relax, but she remains vigilant—a traitor who has betrayed you once can betray you again.For some time, Elliot managed to walk little by little until he could perfectly walk without limping. Aesthelia's worry is reduced. "
There's no window, no light, and nowhere to escape to, except the tunnel. There is an escape route, but there is a high chance that they will end up in the ocean and drown.Aesthelia stayed hidden unbelievably for at least two days, waiting for Elliot's recovery along with Custos', who had exhausted his mana to its limit.Goodthing. The vampires didn't seem to eagerly check the underground, or else they'd die without much fight. The smell of dried blood of deceased prisoners masked Aesthelia's and Elliot's scents. The awful and wrenching smell helped them, even though it made Aesthelia vomit. It seems the situation made her overcome her fear of blood. She doesn't have much choice at this point."AGH…" Elliot groaned in pain as he was slowly gaining consciousness.Aesthelia swiftly goes to Elliot's side to assist him. "W-where am I?" Elliot asked worriedly. He's unable to get up and his visions are out. "We're hiding in the underground dungeon." "We are safe for now, but I don't kno
The gathering took place at the pack house. They are getting ready by informing every warrior wolf, even the wolves who are not yet trained, want to participate and protect their pack. The quiet and serious vibe going around was interrupted when human servants came running and barging. She's demanding for an answer."What do you mean, Aesthelia didn't come back with you?" Marie questioned the wolf who happened to go with the mission. She grabbed him by the clothes near his collar. Her strength seemed to match the wolf's. Marie just got the news of their arrival and came running as if her life was at stake. Aesthelia was like Marie's family. She lived most of her life taking care of Aesthelia and dedicated her life to Aesthelia's safety."Third-in-Command Aesthelia escorted us as soon as we were within the shield. She dashed off and disappeared. " A warrior wolf said patiently with more details. The disruption caught almost everyone's attention, including the higher wolves and the a
The sense of impending doom had vanished. Gior found himself panting as he attempted to awaken from a deep slumber. His wounds still cause him some discomfort.Unlike the grass and rough stone where he had fallen while unwittingly fighting a vampire, the bed where he was presently felt soft.The memories of the recent fight came crashing into him as soon as he recalled the bloodsucking creature—one more deep breath as he sat up with sweat flowing all over his body. "W-where am I?" He asked in a hoarse voice. His throat became dry, rendering him unable to speak.His eyes scanned the familiar ceiling and everything. It looks like they've gone back to the pack, at least that's what he thought. It means that they successfully completed the mission, which solved the pack storage shortage. "The Alpha is awake!" As soon as she saw Gior move, the salutary announced. A couple of howls soon followed, and they can be heard outside of the place. The werewolves who were terrified and heartbroken
