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
The sound of someone running, the fallen branches that were being stepped on as a white she-wolf was indeed in a rush, ran the fastest it could.A strong wind blew on the wolf's face, making her howl as she experienced this new feeling. It felt like more than just running. Her insides were tingling with excitement as she thought that it was amazing. She felt somehow free.She always wondered why the other wolves liked transforming so much, even if they did not need to. At first, it felt like hell, but now that she thinks about it, It's worthwhile enough.The white wolf came to a halt when she saw the group of werewolves gathering near the territory's borderline.Everyone turned their eyes on that white she-wolf and gasped in surprise once they recognized who it was."Aesthelia?" Someone asked.Their eyes widened as they gazed at her wolf form. Everyone seemed to be dazed, as if a rare wolf was here.
Aesthelia is slowly regaining consciousness. She felt her hand wrapped in someone's warmth.She tried to lift her finger, but she couldn't seem to do it. Aesthelia hears loud whispering and chattering discussing what happened. Once Aesthelia fluttered, her eyes opened. She was greeted by a bunch of werewolves in the room. They were anxiously waiting for Aesthelia to wake up, and some of them were displeased as they misunderstood Aesthelia's. "Isn't it that she is making a fuss? It is so obvious that it makes me want to vomit, " unfamiliar voice said. "We're at a crucial time, but everyone has been paying attention to this girl," another voice replied, not bothering to hide the hint of annoyance in her voice. "But who wouldn't? Didn't you see what she had done? " Another voice chimed in, a more cheerf
The werewolves were marching their way toward the borderline. They were commanded to aid the people outside in broad daylight. They didn't transform because they were sent to provide essential items to those affected by the attack. The vampires were nowhere to be found once the sun rose. They were in their hiding places, and plus, they have been causing chaos outside the pack for days now. Aesthelia is sure that they are exhausted and will lay low to regain their energy for the time being. Aesthelia knows now is the perfect time to go, but she's still worried. Those who are outside the pack aren't wolves; they are different, and they have already refused the pack's offer to stay inside the shield. Not to mention, the shield also didn't allow other species inside the shield. It'll weaken them. Aesthelia was in the crowd. She was sent by the alpha the moment she woke up. Of course, at first she declined, but who is she to disobey an order from someone as
A few days have passed since the day they were sent and assigned to aid the people outside. They came back without getting injured, and fortunately, they didn't encounter a vampire or a rogue on their way. Aesthelia has been continuously going back and forth from Rasc's residence to the pack house with only one goal in mind. She continued to pursue the high-ranking wolves in order to assess how they would deal with the enemy once they returned. "No, don't concern yourself any further, Aesthelia. It's a no, "an elder said. The elderly man greeted Aesthelia with a sour face. Aesthelia pursed her lips tighter at the strong refusal from someone she expected would listen. They were supposed to be listening. Aesthelia felt like she was being treated like a child and an outsider by the elders. All she wanted was to take precautions and make advancements in terms of battling the vampires. "I am confused," Aesthelia whispered
The more silence passes, the more it gives Aesthelia reason to overthink. She wonders what they have to talk about, that it has to be in private.When they arrived in a secluded area within the woods, Aesthelia stood there unmoving as she waited for him to talk. Her eyes examined Flo's features, and she could see some sweat forming on his forehead.He's nervous.'It must be something hard to say, isn't it?' Aesthelia mumbled through her mind.A minute passed before Flo finally gained the courage to spill what had been bothering him ever since he went outside and got back inside."I gathered this information while I was fighting with a vampire. Fortunately, I was able to escape before it could get worse, "Flo said, the worry and terror visibly in his eyes. He couldn't manage to say that he was almost facing death."Someone within the pack has been in contact with vampires. I've been trying to search for more clues, but
The sounds of the forest, the fragrance of the trees, the sunlight beaming through the leaves, as well as the fresh, pure air, all soothe in a comforting sense. Aesthelia strided her way through the trees. The air blew from east to west. It had been peaceful ever since the high-ranking wolves and warriors departed to handle the situation outside the pack. Aesthelia was quietly going around as she closed her eyes to feel the fresh air. She was having some time for herself when she felt like she had stepped on something. She knew from the feeling that it wasn't a rock or anything that you could find in the forest, but rather she had stepped on someone. Aesthelia's eyes fluttered open as soon as she heard the sound of someone groaning in pain, and that confirmed it, that indeed she was incredibly rude. Aesthelia is panicking right now as to how she will deal with it. Aesthelia stared at the person underneath the tree of aegis. The train
Everyone fell into silence at that. They hitched in their breath as soon as the words left the wolf messenger's lips. The three of them hope that there's something wrong with their hearings and instead hope that the wolf was lying. even if Aesthelia already knew. "I—" The messenger wolf broke down, remembering what happened. The three of them fell into silence as the messenger wolf, who looked tough, was now crying. They were charging towards the group of vampires when the chaos broke through. It's a mess, and the werewolves are at a disadvantage. It seemed like the vampires had been watching the werewolves for days. They don't scent and they're unnoticeable, which makes it harder to sense their presence. Vampires planned everything and it worked out. "You need to rest. We will ask you more once you fully recover, "Aesthelia said, as she assisted the injured wolf. Gior was the first one who left the room, storming outside a
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
