"Because… she is special to me," Aland answered, looking at Elmar firmly.
Elmar snorted in disbelief. "How can that girl be special? Even though you have only met once, not twice now," said Elmar.
Aland ignored Elmar's protests. He left his best friend and ran toward Marlyn Monroe's departure.
"Elmar is wrong if I think I've only met that girl twice. I met her weeks ago when she first set foot in this school. Marilyn Monroe, aka Miller Fallon." Aland grinned. "Or maybe not? I need to confirm it one more time. Just once! I introduced myself as Edison, but she called me Aland when she panicked. Maybe she didn't realize that her small mistake could have disastrous consequences."
Elmar looked panicked. He squinted and stared at Aland's back as he walked away.
"Aland can't have Marlyn Monroe. I wonder why Marlyn appeared here. But I have to protect her because she is… my girl! Since we first met at the hospital."
Elmar also followed Aland.
Behind the Kabuto, Jonea's reaction was entirely beyond words. Her feelings were mixed between shame, anger, and fear."What have you done?" Jonea said word by word with great emphasis on Edison."Who are you?" asked Ed, pointing a finger at Jonea.Jonea was so furious. She still had her arms crossed over her chest. Her dress was almost down because of the open zipper, and there was nothing she could do about it in the presence of Edison.Jonea turned quickly. With one hand holding the dress so it doesn't sag and the other carrying the hem, she suddenly kicked toward Edison's head.Edison was cornered. His back hit the dresser. However, he could dodge until the tip of Jonea's heel only hit Ed's hair."Phew!" exclaimed Ed.He was relieved that the high-heel kick had not bruised his handsome face.Failing to vent her anger, Jonea became even more explosive. Her appearance is not frivolous. Her head was also heavy because Kabuto w
"What is it?" Several guests began to wonder. "What is this?" They panic. "What happened?" and also curious. "Is that a fake? Why are they gathered there?" All the guests and participants who attended the night auction and charity event looked curious and enthusiastic. They all looked towards the stage and noticed the three members of B4 who were surrounding Miller Fallon, the honor student who was showing off the armor. Aland took a step closer and held Miller's left hand. Hunter did not want to lose either. He held Miller's right hand and drew the sword he was holding. Meanwhile, Elmar stood in the middle. He stared directly at the figure in front of him, who was wearing full samurai armor with a pair of narrowed eyes. "Open your fog!" cried Elmar calmly. Miller, who they were besieging, started to feel uncomfortable and panicked. He rebelled by pulling his hand from Aland's grip and Hunter's. "Let me go. What are you guys doing?" The guests pushed forward even more. They wa
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Jonea said in a soft and polite tone. She behaved like an educated and respectable woman. The three members of B4 became shy instantly. Each of them cleared their throats and fixed their previously emotional attitude. Now, they are calmer and more restrained. However, a lot of questions and curiosity raged in their heads. "Marilyn Monroe?" Aland said the name coldly and glared at Jonea. Elmar closed his eyes momentarily and seemed to hold back his anger. He stared intently at Edison. "You said she's... your mate? Then what about Ashley Simpson--the Luna you've been proud of? How quickly did you change your mate?" "Ha ha ha..." Edison laughed stiffly. He didn't know how to behave in front of his three best friends. "I was just kidding," said Ed. "Please, don't let Ashley hear this incident, or she will be angry." The one who was hurt the most was Hunter. It was as if he was the only one who knew nothing. Hunter didn't even know who Marlyn Mo
"Hunter, are you all right?" Ed followed Hunter back to his regular dormitory. "Please, Ed. Leave me alone," Hunter said, annoyed. "Sorry," said Ed. "Though I don't know why you're upset. But I think you need to accept my apology." "Fuck!" shouted Hunter as he hit the wall. His hand was cut, leaving a bloodstain on the impact mark on the wall. The wound had healed and closed when Hunter pulled his hand away from the wall. Ed was still waiting in the doorway. He also feels guilty for lying to his friends. But Ed couldn't tell them the truth. His own future is at stake. "I will accompany you tonight until your anger subsides. Do you want to go to the bar? Or do you want to hunt in the forest?" "Tell me how you know that girl–Sonia Fallon?" "Jonea Fallon," Ed corrected Hunter. Ed had already opened his mouth to explain, but he failed to say it and instead turned his head away from Hunter. "Actually, I don't know that girl. It just so happened that we met backstage just as Miller
"Jonea, what are you doing here?" Ed was utterly taken aback. "Ahem!" He pretended not to care and immediately straightened up. "You alone; why are you sitting on the side of the road?" Ed was scared. He felt threatened when he saw the girl. Jonea's appearance was like a ticking time bomb for Ed. He looked left and right. "I'm waiting for a taxi. What do you want?" asked Ed curtly and warily. "You want to threaten me again?" Jonea pursed her lips. "Wow, you keep prejudiced against me, huh? I saw you failing to get on the bus and refusing several taxis that passed by. Do you need a ride?" Ed was very nervous. He couldn't believe the girl in front of him. Jonea's appearance was very different from when she was wearing a dress. This time Jonea was only wearing jeans and a thick sweater. But she looks more attractive. "Ride?" Ed glanced at Jonea's scooter. It's a delivery scooter. There is a big box on the back of the scooter. "On that beat-up scooter? Huh, are you kidding me?" Ed ga
"Elmar? Ha ha ha…." Edison laughed nervously when he found his best friend appearing before him, hugging two girls at once. "You played so far? Have you had enough of the girls in town?" Elmar looks drunk and unsteady. His arms were each wrapped around the shoulders of a beautiful girl. The two girls looked even older than Elmar. "Is he your friend, El? He's so cute," said one of the girls while teasing Edison. "What are you doing here?" asked Elmar, pointing at Ed's chest. Ed was nervous. "Just like you, I guess. I'm looking for a new atmosphere. I was hungry and saw an interesting fried chicken restaurant over there." "Fried chicken restaurant? So far? You with your driver?" Elmar looked around, looking for the bodyguards who usually followed Ed. "Stay cool. I am alone. I managed to escape from them." "You want to join us? We're going to go karaoke. Come on, join us to make it more festive!" Elmar tugged at Ed's hand without asking for approval. Edison exhaled heavily. "Okay.
"Miller!" cried Elmar. He hugged Jonea from behind tightly. The girl gasped and froze. 'Miller?' thought Jonea. 'Who is this person?' "Miller, I'm so glad to see you here!" Elmar kept his arm around Jonea's neck from behind and rested his chin on the girl's shoulder. Jonea rebelled and tried to escape. 'I'm not Miller,' she thought. 'Damn it!' "Miller, I really missed you, my Underclassman." Jonea bit Elmar's arm around her neck. Elmar screamed in pain and let go of his hug. He shook his aching hand. "What is this?" Jonea shouted loudly and turned around. "You… want to harass me? Bastard, man!" "Oh, sorry!" Elmar froze for a moment. "Sorry, I thought you were Miller. Are you Jonea? At first glance, your faces are very similar. Moreover… your hair is also short. We last met at a charity night; you put your hair up in a bun." Elmar bowed apologetically and kept apologizing. Jonea became nervous. She lost orientation with her own identity. Jonea was determined to return to being
Hunter's running ability is unquestionable. He is a wolf. No matter how fast Jonea drives the scooter and how far she goes, Hunter can find her quickly with his running ability and sense of smell. Hunter cut his way through small alleys between shops and markets. Several times he saw the scooter speeding up at the end of the road. Hunter continues to hunt her. Until he arrived at an entertainment area filled with nightclubs, karaoke places, mini supermarkets, several small restaurants, and many ramen shops scattered there. Hunter slowed down and strolled. His breath was a little panting. However, he enjoyed himself so much along the way that the atmosphere felt so different from the city center where he lived. "I didn't think a small suburb could find a place as fun as this. Homes and places of business blend into one." Hunter's ears twitched. His tiny earrings glistened in the morning sun. He spun to the right to the sound of a speeding scooter. Hunter came running again. He lost
"Hunter?" Jonea was surprised. "Sorry, Jonea. My stupidity should not be forgiven. I always come late. I hope what I did at the last second didn't disappoint you." Jonea took Hunter's helping hand. The young man picked up Jonea and helped her out of the front of the truck. "Bring the leader of this rebel army to me!" shouted Hunter to his men. The masked man was forced to kneel in front of the Hunter. Hunter pulled the man's mask off and hit him hard. Jonea, who was standing behind Hunter, immediately looked away. Miller was already conscious even though the condition of his muscles which had been numb, had not fully recovered. "Why are you still hunting down the Fallon family? You heard the leadership of the Abraham Pack passed into my hands. Cassandra Abraham is no longer in power. I've even sent him into exile! Who gave you the order this time?" Jonea was stunned to hear that. 'So, Hunter really fulfilled his promise. He got rid of and punished his mother. Then, what about m
Aland glanced at Miller and nodded briefly. Aland commanded his troops to prepare to face the special forces sent by Mrs. Abraham.They all didn't care, even though Ares Abraham had announced that the leadership of Pack Abraham had now been taken over by Hunter Abraham. The special forces consist of trained people. They were personally recruited by Mrs. Abraham. Most of them are criminals and dangerous criminals."Jonea, seek shelter!" asked Aland."You asked me to hide? Do you think I'm a weak girl who needs protection? Do not dream. I will also join the fight with you!"Aland shook his head."You stubborn!" said Aland and Miller together. They were silent for a moment, then laughed together."What are you guys laughing at?" reprimanded the special forces leader, who felt offended.The special forces simultaneously turned into wolves.Aland and the leader of the special forces are now facing each other. The fight is done traditionally, like a fight between two groups of wolves. The t
"We've found Miller Fallon!" one of the warriors reported to Mrs. Abraham via radio telecommunications."Take Miller back to base. Did you guys find the twin sister too?""Yes, Alpha. The girl was with Aland Hamilton. What should we do with these two people?""Get rid of–"Bang!Before Mrs. Abraham had finished giving orders to her men, who had managed to surround and arrest Miller and Jonea, Hunter had entered the main tent and cut off the telecommunications line.Mrs. Abraham was surprised to see Hunter's sudden appearance."How did you get here? Have you recovered from your drunkenness?""Stop all these games, Mom! You've gone too far.""Why did you suddenly appear and oppose me? After all this time, you have always complied with all my requests and words, Hunter? I did all this for your future. Later you will inherit all this leadership. You will replace me as Alpha King."The two bodyguards who protected Mrs. Abraham approached when they saw Hunter's reaction, who was so angry an
The werewolf squad sent by Mrs. Abraham arrives at the shack where the Fallon family is hiding. They surrounded the hut from all sides. There are quite a number of them.Meanwhile, the hut was only guarded by two warriors from the Hamilton Pack. The two guards glanced at each other and smiled knowingly."We must protect this family even if our lives are at stake."The colleague nodded. "This is a dedication to our oath of allegiance to Aland Hamilton."The leader of the raid squad was approaching the hut."Leave the Fallon family to us! It's useless to dodge. This place is surrounded, and there is no way you can fight us."One of the hut keepers approached. "Perhaps you misunderstood. There was no Fallon family in this hut. There are only the two of us here.""You want to die?""You are free to kill us if indeed we are lying. But, it is just the two of us in this hut."The leader of the raid troops raised his hand to order two of his men to enter and inspect the hut.The two warriors
Jonea and Miller opened the notebook together. The paper inside looks so yellow that it's almost brownish. It was a notebook written by hand using special ink."What is this, Mom?""That is the only inheritance left by your birth parents."It's like being struck by lightning on a sunny day. They did not know they were not Mr. and Mrs. Fallon's biological children.Both Miller and Jonea thought that Mr. and Mrs. Fallon might actually be a lycan couple hiding their identities. Absolutely unthinkable if they are just adopted children."That book contains your family tree. On the last page, you will find out the names of your parents and who they really are."Jonea and Miller actually flipped to the last page. There are a pair of male and female names on it. The character looks so beautiful and foreign at the same time."Who are these two people, Mom?" Miller asked."Alarick Rawling and Bessie Raff? They are your biological father and mother."Mrs. Fallon tried to smile even though she wa
"Calm yourself first, Jonea. I'm sure they're fine.""What did you say? You say you're sure they're all right? Does that mean you haven't met and seen their situation firsthand?"Jonea was about to run, but Miller held her back."I'm looking for our parents to the village around the forest. I found their trail. So, I'm sure they are fine now and are hiding in a safe place.""Then let's go find your parents now." Aland suddenly appeared behind them.It's almost morning. They left the forest and headed for the nearby villages. Miller managed to follow in the footsteps of his parents. However, the trail disappeared once they were out of the forest."Of course, they erased and hid the tracks," Jonea commented. "If not, of course, the hunters will catch them.""Do any of you have any ideas? Where do you think your parents will hide in a situation like this? I don't think they would leave you guys without a clue." Aland gave his opinion.Jonea and Miller exchanged glances."Of course, there
"Then what do you think I can do? I'm even just an Alpha display in my pack. It looks like they think of me as a powerful Alpha on the outside, but my mother is actually the Alpha.""Listen to me carefully, Hunter. My chance to talk to you is only this time. Before the guards took you back to the prison, your mother created."The two bodyguards who had come to the bar with Hunter approached them. One of the bodyguards even tried to get Elmar away from Hunter."It's okay; he just wants to go to the toilet. I will help him walk. I also want to go to the toilet." Elmar supported Hunter's arm on his shoulder. "You guys just wait here."Elmar literally took Hunter in his arms and helped him to the toilet. The two bodyguards couldn't believe it. One followed behind and even watched at the door as Elmar and Hunter entered the men's room together.When they were alone in the toilet, Hunter returned to being himself. He is no longer drunk. No matter how much alcohol he downed, Hunter was still
"Joea, come with me. We're leaving here. We could go to Auckland until we find a comfortable place to live.”Aland's eyes twinkled with hope. He rubbed the top of Jonea's head gently and lovingly."You can go back to school there. I can continue my studies and work. Can we live in the suburbs or work as farmers? I have a plot of farmland and ranch that we can manage together."Aland whispered those sweet words in Jonea's ear after marking the girl as his."Right now, we are in a race against time. Blue Sapphire's condition is not good. It was only a matter of time before the rebels might fight back with much greater strength. Constantly hiding in the forest is not the right choice."Jonea looked back at Aland with a big smile and was satisfied."Sounds so cool and so perfect. It's as if everything you mentioned is like a dream to me."Aland's face suddenly turned sombre."I want to!" said Jonea. "Of course, I want to live happily with you, with the people I love. However, leaving the
Jonea let go of Aland's hand and went to Miller's side."I'm sorry, Aland. I must come with Miller to check on my parents at camp."Aland clenched his fists and swung his fists in the air. "Okay, we will go there together."Aland whistled for his comrades and subordinates. It was then that several young men and women appeared carrying their bags of supplies. The warriors and hunters gathered around the river.Jonea was a bit surprised because she didn't notice their presence earlier. Miller was being so wary."How did you manage to hide your whereabouts? I can't even get a whiff of your presence at all.""We train ourselves," Aland replied. "Because we also don't want to stand out after leaving the city life."Aland turned to his men. "Secure the roads and the surrounding area. We're going to camp to find Jonea's parents."They all bowed and received Aland's command by turning and crossing one arm over their chest.Miller took the lead at the front. Meanwhile, Aland walked beside Jone
