Semua Bab Under the Blue Moon: Bab 51 - Bab 60

After lunch, Rem begrudgingly left me alone with Ken to take a tour of the mansion. We kept our mind-connection open just in case Ken tried anything funny, though so far the man was being kind enough to me. He showed me around the living room, the gym and the indoor swimming pool, both of which were large enough to fit an entire pack of werewolves in them for a good workout.After that, he showed me their training yard that was cut off from the garden, so the werewolves had no access to it. Ken was keen to show me some of the training weapons there.“We should get you into learning how to use some weapons too,” Ken was saying as he dragged me over to one rack, which held several wooden weapons hanging on it. “I’ll even train you personally if you like?” He then asked, taking one of the wooden swords and showing off some moves.I watched him curiously and then rubbed the back of my neck. “Would your grand

The sudden kiss from Ken had me dumbfounded. I was slow to register exactly what had just happened. I hesitantly pulled my head away and opened my mouth to tell Ken to stop, but before I could respond, Ken himself pulled away sharply. His own expression was just as bewildered as my own. He let out a half-mumbled apology before he scrambled to his feet and fled the training yard.As he exited through the courtyard entrance, he stumbled back, obviously almost bumping into someone. He hesitated and then pushed whoever it was out of the way and continued on his way. Still, on the floor, I watched in complete confusion.Rem came into view, his attention still in the direction Ken had fled even as he moved over to where I was. He seemed irritable about Ken bumping into and pushing him. “What’s got him in a tizzy this time?” He questioned me without actually looking at me.“W-well,” I stumbled over my own words befor

With the four packs accepting me and Rem as their new leaders, I felt a strange sense of belonging wash over me. Though I wondered how my mother would react to this whole thing. I hadn’t had time to message her in a few days, though I had made sure that she knew I was safe and that the Hunters had more or less not killed me. However, I hadn’t mentioned their acceptance nor their choice to make me a pack leader. Everything was moving so fast.Tonight would be a full moon and the time at which the ritual would be reversed. I was nervous and excited all at once. I would finally belong to a pack of my own, even though it had come under such strange circumstances. Honestly, it surprised me that the packs had even agreed to go through with it, so to say I was nervous would be an understatement.While we waited for the time to get closer to the event, Rem was going over some of the defensive lessons with me. For now, he wanted me to focus on

The sound of wood hitting wood continued to echo throughout the training yard as both Ren and his cousin Ken fought with all their might against the other. They impressed me with their endurance, though I could tell that they were growing tired from the exertion. Mrs Emerson was quietly watching the two now, though I wondered who she was hoping would win. If she had a preference, then this fight probably didn’t matter too much in the end. Did it? As though reading my mind, Mrs Emerson said, “you’re wondering who I wish to win and shall pick.” “A little, maybe,” I admitted and glanced her way. However, the woman offered no answer. She remained silent as she motioned for me to keep watch. “You will want to know the outcome to this fight far more than me as this will see if Rath’s resolve for your affections is as strong as you claim,” she said with a calm, yet uninterested voice. “Well, regardless of

After Rem had cleaned up, the two of us headed towards the main area of the mansion. Although only a few of the Hunters from the meeting were about, each one of them congratulated Rem on the victory against Ken. However, it seemed none was yet aware that he would be the successor of their family yet. Perhaps they wouldn’t be told until after the grandmother made it official?I wasn’t sure of the Hunter’s protocol, so I remained silent on the matter for now.As Rem led us to a long corridor, he seemed to hesitate for a moment or two. I could tell that he was nervous, so I placed my hand into his and offered a gentle squeeze in comfort. He glanced towards me and offered a small, humble little smile of thanks. He then knocked on the large doors at the end of the hallway.“Come in,” came Mrs Emerson’s voice.The two of us glanced at one another, nodded, and then opened both doors and headed inside Mrs
