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
Aesthelia goes back to the training ground. She sat on the lowest branch of a large tree. For the first time in a long time, the wind blew, which made her eyes shut tightly to let herself relax for the first time."Custos, can you tell me the future?" Aesthelia asked the spirit who was quietly standing right beside her.Aesthelia summoned Custos for a reason that she wasn't sure of. She may have wanted to have someone beside her. She'd love a quiet, peaceful place, but every time she has it, there's no doubt that she is uncomfortable and at unease.Aesthelia already knew the answer. Her death, Flo's fate, and more, proved that there could be change. Aesthelia just wanted to hear from Custos what his answer was."I'm afraid I can't.""I don't have the ability to foresee the future," Custos responded with all honesty."But there's one thing that I know: the future can be changed accordingly, and it follows the present, "Custo
The loud sound of mourning erupted through the hall. The funeral is happening. After a day when the warriors returned, Aesthelia didn't waste any time making this happen.Gior and Flo were having a hard time with the news. They are tough guys, but, of course, they also have emotions. They are probably alone and weeping.Aesthelia felt the need to comfort them, but she couldn't. There's something she must do before that. She needed to stay strong for the pack. Aesthelia became the third-in-command. She didn't want it to be official. She was still hoping that the high-ranking wolves would escape from the vampire grasp.Aesthelia talked to Alpha Rou before their departure. She thought that it would change even a bit of the trade strategy.Most warriors recovered, but unfortunately, some took their last breath and came back as lifeless corpses. The only thing they could do was prepare a proper funeral burial to pay tribute to their bravery.
The weeping alpha didn't notice that someone had already walked to the area he was in. He didn't bother wiping his tears because he thought he was all alone. Gior wished he could go back in time and reconcile with his father, but he chose not to because he believed it was what Alpha Rou deserved.It's awkward for him to even call him "normally" father. His mind hasn't changed. Alpha Rou was the worst father in his eyes, but what Gior regrets is the fact that he hasn't forgiven him, but his father is gone now. The hatred that grew within him finally disappeared in an instant. He found himself yearning for his father, but Gior knows that it's too late now. It can never be changed. They can't travel back in time either. It has already happened. Aesthelia stood there as the misery seeped in through her heart. That was the same feeling she felt when
The pack gathered in the training grounds. As they waited for the new alpha, the wolves felt lost in the midst of chaos. They have been waiting for someone to lead them.Then they waited for Gior. They respected him because they knew he wasn't ready. Though everyone was anxious about what the pack would become. They decided to put their trust in Gior.The pack was relieved when Gior finally showed up for a pack meeting. The thought that they hadn't been abandoned by Gior made them hope for something.For some unknown reason, the vampires that attacked the outsider became less active, and it seems that the vampires quieted down for awhile, but that doesn't mean they won't attack again. If that's the case, at least they got someone, and it's Gior Frauzon.Werewolves won't be fooled the second time. The second war against them would be different. The warriors who survived vowed to tear vampires apart.The chattering can be heard from
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
