I hid the letter in my pocket and helped the old man; with one jug on my right shoulder and the carrier on my left. I could carry more than one jug even with the carrier yet my supernatural strength might alarm them. I tried to ignore some of the Moon's Order pack werewolves who were cleaning the whole bar. Trouble shall surely arise when they figured out I am where I shouldn't be! The old man has been joyfully thanking me while tapping my shoulder. "I think I'll need an employee now!" he said. "Huh? Me? Well... that's..." I'm hoping for a better plan yet I felt I shouldn't turn down an opportunity! Adulting is not exciting! "I think he's a full-time father," Matheo came into the picture, "and he's the one in need of an employee, don't you think?" "
Haiban's advice for me to sleep was adjourned again. My time is more than gold to waste, consequently, I tasked Lanasia and Zaeramil without taking a break to publish a book that will brainwash the people. I entrusted the task to them and need more hands than this to do my work. Shouldering the whole fate of werewolves is the most formidable job I have ever had and I even deserve to retire in the end! After leaving the task to them, I requested an appointment with the mages in Venduque Academy to organize an occasion I implemented. Other than that occasion, Manjiro and Linly invited me to be one of the bridesmaids at their wedding to be held a few weeks ahead! But I can't tell when humans will ambush this city and I'm the only one who knows it! Inside the palace a few days after, I've created a giant glowing sphere levitating above me while underneath it are my messy books and blueprints on the table. "This is the initial globe of my creation. And the migration shall commence toda
I drank 3 glasses of water with Acro's assistance on the table. I fixed my clothes when I could breathe normally again. I read the newspaper for the nth time 3 years ago wherein the legend about werewolves was stated in an article written by Ciarra. I've never seen her in person but because of her books, the people around me forgot about the existence of werewolves even in faraway cities. But that saves my time from the trouble hunters give me.As a matter of fact, humans live more complacent than before this article was published. Ever since the day the strange light turned the night into day, I've never seen my kind again nor heard anything about them. I've never received replies from Dandeline regarding my letter to her."I miss her... I miss them... They're probably in the world where they belong now. And meanwhile, we're still here." I drank the 4th
(Dandeline's POV) 5 years passed and I stayed at 23. It's twilight at this hour in this world, 3 pm. I was sitting on the mattress on the floor of a quiet room to perform an enchantment; I closed my eyes, opened an enchast in front of my face, and opened my eyes again in a different body. I looked around the house—the home where I was supposed to be. What fascinated me was the paintings on the walls, stairs, and foot sketches on the floor that were unfamiliar compared to my last visit. I jumped down to the floor to visit my twins sleeping tightly on their bed. I stared at their peaceful faces, I reached for their hair to feel them, and my eyes went teary all the time I thought about my boundaries. Hessuel wasn't spotted on his bed. I walked back to the dining table to look around for him. The door opened and here he is with a teacup on hand. Locking my gaze at him, I'm consistently impressed with the figure of his body. He's 27 now. Adulthood hit him fantastically! His short bea
Dayana volunteers to enchant one of my shirts to make it a dress for Hrista. Her fatigue knocked her out shortly so I laid her in my bed after the kids dried her hair. It's time for twilight but the resting dark clouds are hiding it. Our two visitors took the chance to come outside."Classes are suspended tomorrow. We'll have our next session after that!" Dayana said to my kids before she left. She praises their math skills once again and when she leaves, these two are silently screaming whilst slapping each other's arms.Ophelia says her goodbye in a piece of advice, "I'll stay in an inn until the reunion. You can call me right away once you meet my requirements."I have successfully ciphered her peevish gaze at me. "No, I won't make that woman their mother.""Oh, loyal
(Dandeline's POV) I watched the pathetic crews in the airport inspect the airship Zaeramil piloted. He landed in a strange city that holds the branch of Cardozen Vil. The spring made the place lively. Or I might describe that it's more full of zeal than Plandreas now. After a few interrogations from the authorities for piloting an unlicensed airship, we donated the airship—we've transformed into a shining gold—to them. To my surprise, I saw Eleus and his minion in the city. Looks like that started a new life. Luckily, they didn’t see me. We walked to the village. The boys and my dogs proceed first to Otakwen’s Bar whereas Lanasia comes with me on my way home. The increase in the population of the residents here made the village—which looks more like a town now—busier than the last time I have known it. My clingy
Out of my control, a smile escaped my lips followed by my tears. "You recognize me." I opened my arms for him but he drew farther, shaking his head."No... Go away.""No? I won't hurt you.""... You do. You hurt dad. You hurt my brother!"What the fork!? "I would never do that. Hed, it's not true—""WHY DID YOU COME HERE!? WE DON'T NEED YOU!"From that moment on, I recognized how hurt they were because of me. Danteleon is still clinging to Dayana's waist, looking at me with sting and hatred. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry it took me so long. But I'm here now!""You never cared for dad! You never cared for my brother!"
"Looks like your dogs can't tame you whenever this happens," he provokes. All of them are barking at us. Slowly, I bend on my knees and he follows. He pulls me to recline on him, still locking me in his arms, while he's leaning his back on the door. His breathing is tickling my nape as he carefully pulls my sleeve down. "What are you doing!?" "The same old sedative." My berserk reduces as he freezes my bite mark. "You should pay me for this job." All I could do was cover my face under my hair. "I want this to be over... This..." "I know right, it's killing you." He smears his thumb on my cheek and expands his hand in front of my face. "It's bleeding this time." I smeared my blood on his palm and upon doing so, I found my hand partially wrinkled. The curiosity automatically made my hand grope my face resulting in my sigh. When Afvshaganifs notices I'm not resisting, he loosens his arm. I'm still surprised as he lifts me in his arms and lays me down on the bed. Impatiently tapping
If you’re here because you’ve finished reading the book, you have my deepest gratitude. To anyone who gave their best to read this book, in any legal way (or not through a 3rd party beneficiary), I salute you. Will there be a book 2? -None. Please? -No. This is the end of Hessuel & Dandeline’s story. Seriously, I just tried a werewolf genre and finally proved to myself that this isn’t my cup of tea. We Asians prefer vampires. *chortles* Will the twins have their own book? -No. They will stay kids in your imagination. Will Hrista & Andrew have their own book?-Yes. Their book is part of the contemporary romantasy series I’m building. Which means this book is a side story of that series. It wasn’t the plan at first, this was planned to be a stand alone book, but midway I fell in love with the characters of this book & decided to connect them to the universe of this beloved series. I have big dreams for this series & I want this book to be part of it. Meaning, some of the scene
At the hotel, I remove my outer garments and tight clothes, loosen my shirt and lie down prostrated on the huge bed. All night digging for the newlywed's honeymoon isn't real! I'm too tired throughout the preparation and the whole day of the great day! Dandeline is taking her time in the bathroom and I nap while I wait.But, my waiting took longer than her time inside the bathroom, the squint of sun rays was coming inside the room already! I fell asleep facing her, she fell asleep facing me. I stare at her face for a while, then reach for her nape and hair. She woke up with my touch."Hey…""Why didn't you wake me up last night?" I asked."You seem so tired I don't want to disturb you, so I postponed my plan." She stretches her arms and thighs shortly.
I still woke up late when I am supposed to be the one waking up early! A folded bathrobe is prepared underneath my feet. Wearing that, I squinted in the living room and found Hessuel getting himself ready to leave while holding a bouquet."Where are you going?"He is too occupied. He turns his face to me before looking with his eyes. "I have an errand~"I skip steps and help him fix himself, but then he requests me to hold the bouquet while he fixes his shoes. He seems lively, probably because that's what it feels when money is expected on the way."Where are the twins?""Back to school.""Ugh, sorry, I woke up late."
The day finally came when I sealed the spellbook that contains the power of the moon in front of the pulpit of another mage school. My strength is even lesser now, but it doesn't bother me if this is equivalent to an increase in time with my boys."Is this your final decision?""Yes.""From now on," an enchanter declares, "you are a retired moon priestess. Your name shall remain eminent throughout the mages' history. You have done a good, and quite risky job. Hence, we are grateful for your services." He made me sign the declaration which all the witnesses in this chamber have signed as well.Shortly, I left the solemn room and met Lanasia waiting outside. At first, she taps my toga, and then she hugs me tight. "I'm gonna miss you on duty! You have no idea ho
Afvshaganifs is imprisoned in the main forest castle in an empty room guarded with tough magic. The door is only a messy sketch on the wall and only my power can make it work. I expect to be surprised since it's the captain who's inside. But not at this level— "What the..." Supposedly, the room should be completely empty but she provided a royal chair, a gallant coat dress paired with a big hat, and eye shades for her own while sipping a luxurious wine in front of her levitating spellbooks! "Great. You look more like a lady now. Do you have to dress like that in prison?" "What, would you rather see a hot captain than a glamorous queen?" she replied with the flickering of her painted nails. Her dead personality somewhat mismatches the fashion. The confidence blinds me! "I just hope this has nothing to do with Tanya's influence. Anyway," in front of her, I flipped my skirt first and then sat in the air as if there was a visible couch, "I came here for confirmation after I prosecu
"You're gay?" Hessuel asked."No. A real woman." He magically makes his hat appear in his hand and wears it, later, his tied hair grows longer and as he crosses his legs, his features change into a woman. "I am not a queen of pirates for nothing," she said and her voice was an actual woman!Unable to close my mouth, I can't believe a woman has been flirting with me! She adds,"But I became converted to my male version that even in this body," she approaches me and smells my hair, "this woman in front of me still attracts me.""Shoosh!" I drove her away like a fly!Hessuel pulls me behind him. He is calm compared to me. "Then it means you killed my mother to claim my father? Because of jealousy?" he questioned. I looked at his
(Dandeline's POV)"What? Lanasia is not here!?""She's not in your house? All I know is she visits Hessuel to have his statement regarding the ongoing investigation.""She's not. All of them are gone.""That's alarming."Eventually, instead of Lanasia, I brought Matheo to their old house to ask for his help in the gateway. He opened the door of the dark cellar and told me that "Unfortunately, I am not the guardian of this world anymore. What is your intention there?"Pinching my chin, I stare at Acro in case she can give me an answer. Unless I see them safe, I will not be at peace. Hessuel is not in the condition to go anywhere without me. Perhaps I shouldn't have left those dogs!
A candle is the only light inside. In a blink of that sudden darkness, he turns into an adult again. An ax is hurled at me coming from the darkness and I tilt Lanasia with me to dodge it."Good reflexes," he praised. The ax flies back to his hand. He stretches his hand and grips his clench. I felt a powerful hand strangling my throat and I was pulled onto the table. I am far beyond the reach of his hand but its shadow on the wall—because of that candle—reaches me."Stop this! This isn't going to solve anything!" Lanasia slams the table, and when she is about to do magic, Afvshaganifs casts her out of the room and locks the door.Given that idea, I pushed the table until he was dragged and jammed into the wall behind him. I ran to him on the tabl
I'm lucky to find records about the pirate in my father's journal here in his office. I've spent hours reading to my advantage during our travel whilst the pishnies have been counting my yawns."Look! A big fish~!""Get him!""Hed! Danteleon! Don't jump through that window!"My father and the pirate are indeed friends for a long time ever since their school days up to their mage career. The most helpful record is my father's gift to the pirate in exchange for a reviving spell because this is what we've been looking for. A pishney gave me the blueprint of the architectural design of the ship."Kids! Stop—!"I heard a splash of water.
