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
Sniffling resounds around the room's corner. The air turned colder leaving Aesthelia to mourn for something that only happened in book pages. "What a lonely soul." Aesthelia commented as she let the grief climb its way to her heart.Gior Frauzon, a morally upright fictitious character that stirred Aesthelia's emotions, lost his father.Gior's father was murdered in a battle against the cursed bloodsuckers creatures in the novel, pushing the protagonist's character development to lead a pack at such a young age.Gior's father was the Alpha of the Western Wolf Pack, who died in the most unthinkable and unbearable way.Aesthelia felt the sorrow of the character as she continued to read line after line. She is related to the emotion of loneliness."It's painful to know that someone has left.It's not because they abandoned you. He sacrificed until the last breath. " Aesthelia read it out loud. The paragraph alone made her eyes
Heavy breathing and resounding footsteps overwhelmed the room where Aesthelia was. It's been an hour or so but she is still not waking up-she isn't back in her original world."Aesthelia! Sit down for a second. My eyes are hurting because of you, "Antoinette exclaimed as she had been eyeing Aesthelia's movement for hours."You've been going back and forth. What are you thinking right now? I swear if it's about your obsession again, I would literally slap you back to your senses. " Antoneitte asked. She stood up from the infirmary soft bed where she sat just to question Aesthelia."No, it is something more important than that. I need time to think. Can you please remain quiet? " Aesthelia whispered, her thumping heart becoming louder the longer she stayed in this unfamiliar place."Okay, but make it quick. There will be an assembly in an hour, "Antoneitte said, reminding Aesthelia of the scheduled event.Antoneitte continued to voice her
In the aegis of the tree, a duel began between Aesthelia and Gior. That event stirred every wolf's attention. Gior launched at Aesthelias' way, not minding everyone who gasped in shock, and some cheered in excitement.Alpha Rou, who was shouting in disapproval, was ignored by his son. His heir is fighting with the pack's strongest warrior, and he knows that someone would have to end up in a bad state. None of them, Alpha Rou, wishes to die or get injured.Everything happened in a flash, in the blink of an eye. Gior, who was almost two meters away from Aesthelia, managed to close the distance between them in a matter of seconds. Gior raised his sword and swung."Woah chill," Aesthelia said, surprised and in a calm way.Aesthelia, who managed to grasp the situation at the last second, defended herself with her still seathed sword from the attack. She planned to withdraw from the duel, but she could not even have time to speak up without Gior att
Aesthelia's eyes flutter open. Her eyes roam around the place to examine the surroundings. Once again, she woke up and was greeted by another unfamiliar place. This time, it was not the infirmary or her room. She noticed that the room she was currently in was rather simple and wooden. She wondered if she had transmigrated into another story she had read before. She just wishes that's not the case. Good thing there was a small mirror at the side table wherein she checked her reflection. She breathed heavily. "What time is it?" Aesthelia wonders aloud. She immediately sat up straight when she remembered she had been knocked unconscious the last time on the training ground. Aesthelia flinched as the pain struck her shoulder, as if the wounds were reopening because of that sudden movement. "Ouch." Aesthelia touches her shoulder and notices that someone has put a bandage on it. A red liquid began soaking the bandage. "I should'v
Aesthelia blinks a couple of times before she gets used to the light that comes from the torch. It had been an hour after she was dragged by the sentinels to be locked up. Aesthelia sat quietly in the corner of the cellar all alone. The underground dungeon she was locked in stank with the scent of blood and dirt. Aesthelia hums to distract herself from thinking of something that she fears will scare her in the dark. She has not been fond of darkness ever since she was a child. She tried closing her eyes, but whenever she did, images flashed through her mind. It looks vivid and terrible. Aesthelia wonders if it's the old Aesthelia's memories, but it looks like nothing of today's reality but a nightmare. The images show wolves bathing in their own blood and many more scenarios. They flash through her mind fast. The images caused her discomfort and fear for an unknown reason. They are currently the most powerful compared to any other superna
Aesthelia was struggling in her sleep when two hands grabbed her cheeks. Trying to soothe her out of her nightmare. "It's alright. It was just a dream, a nightmare. " A comforting voice said. "I'm here," Flo assured her. His soft voice woke Aesthelia up. He quickly helped her sit, and patted her back. Aesthelia panted heavily as her eyes fluttered open. She's sweating real bad. Aesthelia looked around her surroundings. Her eyes landed on the cellar in front of her. The cellar where the old man was locked in, ever since that night when the old man was dragged out by the guards. He never came back. Aesthelia choked in her sobs as she imagined what might possibly have happened to that tortured man. "Are you alright?" "I shouldn't have let that bastard do this to you," Flo said in a shaky voice, seeing Aesthelia in this state. He couldn't maintain a steady posture. Whether he shakes in worry o
Aesthelia looked stunned at the sight before her. The worried voices of servants echoed through the air. Mr. Rasc's eyes kept on changing since the wolf spirit was fighting for control. "Get Aesthelia out of my sight, right now," Mr. Rasc's voice changed as he commanded the servants who were idle, watching from the back. He was trying to fight his wolf until Aesthelia was out and safe. "Bring the lady inside now!" Someone from the crowd shouted. Everyone seems to be panicking at this time. "What's going on?" Aesthelia asked desperately. She moves around trying to be released from being tied up until a servant comes to her rescue and quickly unties her wrists. "Let's go. "The servant said in a calm voice. The servant eyes were staring directly at Aesthelia's eyes, and they were filled with concern. "Why?" Aesthelia asked, but the growl became louder this time, which made the servant drag Aesthelia by herself without bein
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.

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
