"This is Joan.""Julie welcomed Joan's hand when the red-haired girl extended hers. Julie carefully observed Joan's alert appearance. She repeatedly moved her head to the right and left, as if sensing some lurking danger.Joan occasionally frowned as if she were hearing something. She even mumbled incoherently after their hands had slipped away from each other. Julie thought it was a bit silly, but she was still polite because she didn't want to make trouble with a witch anyway."She's often possessed; I hope you won't be surprised if she suddenly behaves unusually," Julian whispered in Julie's ear."Why did you bring her here? It's ridiculous," Julie replied no less quietly."She's trustworthy, and she's still a descendant of the five great witches.""I only trust you, Julian.""And I need your expertise to break into Dad's cupboard.""Hahaha, you're so funny.""So, can we get started?"Joan looked straight at Julie. Her grey eyes seemed to be searching for an answer to the question
"There will always be a loophole."Julie saw very clearly what Aleena did before she died. The witch pulled a thin thread from her temple. She created a small jar of empty air in front of her and put the thin thread into it. Aleena then removed the jar with a swift motion as Alistair shifted back into his human form."The time of witches is over; the glory of werewolves will begin from now on, Aleena the Great Witch.""Corpus meum tibi dedico matri naturae...tunc erit anima mea tranquilitas post effugium iter formatum.""I curse you; you and your bloodline will not live to be 40 years old. There will always be a creature I can count on to make the curse work."Julie saw Aleena's body turn into ash particles floating in the air. In front of her, Alistair stood proudly, staring at Aleena's death. Alistair's thunderous laughter was followed by the howls of the wolves who were still in the pack with him.Julie felt the pieces of the puzzle that had confused her at the beginning come toget
"From what I can tell, they're after you, Seth."Chris linked his fingers. It was not without reason that he could conclude such a thing. Given that the cases of attacking the Alphas in several major countries left traces. He found out that the ones who attacked them were rogues."Why did you come to that conclusion?""I read some cases that happened hundreds of years ago, based on your grandfather's description. One of those caught mentioned your grandfather and Red Crescent Moon. Be careful."Seth read the file Chris had given him. He analysed the information one by one. He found the descriptions of the Alphas from various countries who were victims of the massacre about 150 years ago. He also saw the names of his grandfather and Red Crescent Moon mentioned in the chronological details of the coup carried out by his grandfather.Seth read the testimony of his grandfather, who was a witness to the forbidden ritual, but he could not look into the details of the type of ritual performe
"I hope he can keep his mouth shut so as not to reveal our plan."One of the six people sitting around the campfire spoke. He turned down the volume of his voice so that their conversation would not be overheard by someone who might be passing through the forest. They had already gone through the night without one person from the group and it was really making things tense."Matt, I'm going to look for more firewood."The person named Matt nodded and got up from his seat. He walked into the tent and came out with a roll of parchment and a candle in his hand. By the light of the campfire in front of him, he read the writing on the parchment.Matt lit the candle, keeping the light steady with the help of one of his friends. After he repeated the words on the parchment three times, the candlelight went out.Suddenly, in front of them, came a female witch. She grinned at everyone around the campfire. Her frog-like face was so annoying that it made one of them snort.A soft plop sound was
"You look exactly like Jovanka."Katarina looked straight at Edith. It was like she was looking at a duplicate of Jovanka, except that Edith looked paler and had skin as smooth as a porcelain surface. Of course, Katarina knew that Edith had become a vampire. It was all because of her deed.Katarina had the scenario to turn her into a vampire because she wanted Edith's descendants to be tribrid. Her gaze shifted from Edith to Julie, who was still curled up motionless. A lopsided smile spread across her lips as she was satisfied to see the result of the plan she had devised for hundreds of years.She stretched her arms out in front of her, as if some invisible force had made Julie stand upright in front of her. Katarina stepped towards Julie and held her weight in place."Notavi eam meis viribus..."Katarina shone a black-colored light from the tip of her index finger on Julie's forehead. The light slowly entered Julie's forehead, making the little girl cry out in pain. A line that over
"She wanted to protect the Veela nation from extinction."Jovanka swung one hand towards one of the shelves. Edith saw a book come out of the shelf and fly towards Jovanka's hand. Edith approached, wanting to know what Jovanka wanted to show her.Jovanka walked over to the chair and sat down to read the book she was holding. She had opened a page filled with handwriting and held it out to Edith.Edith read it carefully. It took her half an hour to finally find what she was looking for. Edith raised her face and asked, "Am I the only one who can have descendants?""Yes. She felt remorse for slaughtering the Veela nation back then and continued to take care of me until you were born. Once she learned of your fate with one of the Alpha's of the werewolf race, she promised me she would keep you alive with a rather extreme scenario.""Making me into a vampire by cursing Seth while I was pregnant with Juliette...yeah, it was an extreme way.""She saw you with Hybrid Kai and had that idea. H
"We'll always be by your side, no matter how bad things get."Edith stroked Julie's blonde hair. She reassured her with every word. She had been through phases of fear and insecurity like Julie was going through right now. She had cursed herself for ever hurting a human just because she was too jealous."I've been scared like you are right now. I once hurt a human being just because I was jealous that your father was flirting with another woman. We can't avoid that kind of thing, but I tried to control myself afterwards."Edith told about her experience exercising emotional control so that she would not harm humans. It made sense to Edith when she felt jealous and angry, so she simply accepted it and made peace with it. She dealt with letting her human side live on in her heart and mind.Edith fully understood her daughter's angst. She thought Julie was too quiet and reluctant to express her feelings to others. Edith offered to train Julie to control her emotions when she was discussi
"Gau-tosser huh..."Seth teased Gautier to provoke him. He saw the wry grin on Gautier's face, which meant that he understood Seth's harsh words to him. Afterwards, Gautier was able to control his emotions again."Do you want to fight as a human or a wolf? I'll give you three seconds to answer."Seth raised three fingers in the air. He folded his fingers one by one slowly and got no serious answer from Gautier. After folding his last finger, Seth made a move to attack Gautier in human form.Seth ran quickly towards Gautier, but just before Seth's hand touched Gautier's face, the werewolf shifted back into wolf form and managed to bite Seth's hand with his fangs."Shit!"Seth instantly shifted his form back into that of a wolf. He immediately bit Gautier's tail because it was the part of Gautier's body that he managed to reach. With his strength, Seth bit Gautier's tail firmly and pulled so that Gautier's bite on his hand could be released.Seth managed to free his hand from the black
