"Blood Moon pack." I mumbled after seeing their base.
"Except for the members, you are the only one who knows this place." She's pertaining to where we are standing. "We can see the whole area right here," I guess she's saying that I need to shut my mouth and never leak what she trusted in me.I smiled. "My eyes are open but my mouth will stay closed." She then looked at me again with those eyes, like the first time we met."This is the fastest route. I just could no longer wait to see my home. Don't ever think I trust you now." I nodded my head. I know what she meant after all since I, too, need to be careful of what I am trying to do. "Follow me." After saying those words, she didn't hesitate to jump off the cliff. I was shocked for a moment but when I heard her calling me, I looked down and saw her standing in a hanging stone.So this is what it takes to reach their base. They were really trying to keep the pack safe. Just by moving to their pack, it could take your own life. You can go, but it's not guaranteed that you will be alive or dead. I wonder what trick they used on other routes, if this is the fastest one to reach this place, is this the hardest or not? I will wait to see that.After calculating the distance between the cliff and the hanging stone, I jumped. She's waiting for me when I landed. I almost broke my leg, I did not realize it would be that deep. Even my calculations almost failed. One wrong move and I will fall to death. I think they also used a hallucination trick here. What you can see isn't always right. As for Diane, she is mostly aware of that, she can easily do whatever she wants here.While we were at the hanging stone, Diane mouthed something I did not hear and the stone started moving. I stood steadily and balanced myself, the stone can carry two persons at a time because of the space. I watched it moving until it got connected with the edge of the cliff, then a door opened. I looked at what's inside and there's a cave."A cave?" I asked and entered it. The lights lit up before I could think about it, then there I saw what's inside. There's a pond and three doors. "Which one?" I asked her."It depends on what you think is safer. It's not always the same door to enter." She told me. It puzzled me that I frowned looking at those doors.I tried feeling each one of them but I can't sense anything but danger. "One wrong move and you will die." Blood Moon pack is really something. I thought the hanging stone with hallucinations is the only way, but here I am standing in front of these doors."Which door do you think is safe?" She asked. I am certain she can easily tell, but for me who just went in here for the first time. I could not just pick quickly.I went in front of each door and tried listening to what's behind it. I can hear some strange noises on every door, noises that I never heard before. But there's one door I could feel is safe. I just feel it, and there's no explanation why."Which one?" She asked, crossing her arms while waiting for me to decide. Is this really the fastest way? I asked myself."Third door." I told her then pointed my finger at it."Then try going inside." She looked at the door without emotion."Did I chose the right one?" I asked her."We will see after you enter." I nodded my head. Maybe I should give it a try. I guess she's not wanting to kill me. I walked towards the door and slowly opened it, my arms extended and my body got swallowed by the energy of that door. I fell non stop in the dark until I felt the gravity pulling me. When I opened my eyes, I saw Diane beside me. The force slowly put us down, then there I saw a beautiful garden full of flowers."Don't touch anything, they are poisonous." She told me. Even these beautiful flowers are dangerous. What more to expect from the Blood Moon pack?"So tell me, did I choose the right door?" I asked her. I am not really that sure about that door earlier."To tell you the truth, there is only one door. It's just the human eye can see three doors. You can enter any of them. However, the door will decide where to take you. The door saw you don't have any bad intentions going inside so it let you in." I blinked fast when I heard it from her."So what if I have bad intentions?" I asked out of curiosity."It can take you to the jail right away, the guards will kill you after three days, or worse to the dungeon where monsters are hunting for food. You can be eaten the moment you step your foot there." After saying that, she walked and I just followed her. I looked behind me and there's no door anymore but a high wall. Blood Moon pack is really something.I stared at her back, she tested me. She knew the trick behind the doors and wanted to see my intentions of going inside their pack. Because if not, she should have tried to kill me on our way here.While I was trying to look around, I realized we were in a maze and Diane kept on turning around. The wall maze was made of grass. I tried recalling the way until we got out of that place.I was busy wiping the leaves on my clothes when I heard a voice."Lady Diane!" It was a kid, maybe he's 16 years of age. And he is coming to us."Lady Diane! You're back!" He smiled at her, while she patted his head. The boy looked in my direction and frowned. It's a natural reaction since he doesn't know me. "Who is she, Lady Diane?" He asked.Diane looked back at me and gestured to me to go nearer. "She's Analisse. Prince's new servant." I almost forgot that's going to be my role here.I smiled at him and waved my hand. "Hello, I am Analisse."He smiled at me at last after looking from head to toe. "Hello, nice to meet you sister Analisse. I am Inueh!" He joyfully exclaimed.I touched his shoulder. "Nice to meet you too, Inueh.""But Lady Diane, she doesn't look like a servant. I would be happier to serve her instead." I smiled because of what he said."Stop fooling around Inueh, go back to your class." He pouted his lips and waved his hands at me."Okay. See you around, sister Analisse!" After that he ran away from us."Who is he?" I asked her."Son of one of the officials." She answered. I nodded my head. I am starting to meet the people here."I see.""Let's go." We continued walking and passed by a group of men practicing swords, some of them were dueling." So they also fight with swords and just not mere fangs and claws.I also saw Inueh there, but he didn't notice me since he was busy practicing. So they have a class here.Diane walked towards a small gate of a house, I don't think she lives here. She entered the house, and I just followed her. "Where are we?" I asked. This house is old, the classical design of every area is rare to see in a pack."Servant's ward." I nodded my head. So this is it. Am I going to live here?An old woman approaches us, she bowed her head to Diane. "Greetings, Lady Diane." When she raised her head up, she saw me and a smile plastered on her face. "You brought a guest.""She will be Prince Sebastian's servant, give her new clothes and let her take a bath. We will wait for the Prince to decide, for the meantime let her stay here."The old lady smiled at her. "I understood.""Go and follow her." Diane told me."Thank you." She just nodded her head. I smiled before following the old lady.She entered a small room. "Stay here, you will find all the stuff you need in this room." Once I saw the room, I somehow felt I was in my former pack. It's just cozy and comfortable. Sure they have a life here.I thanked the old lady and she held my hands. "I am Theresa, you can call me Manang. What's your name?" She asked.I smiled and held her hands back. "Hello Manang Theresa, I am Analisse." I miss the person who's taking care of me at the Silver wolf pack back then. But I heard she died while I was away. I did not have the chance to visit her grave since I could no longer stay there."Take a bath and rest for now, Analisse. The food will be ready for a while so you can eat." I smiled while she checked on me. "You don't look like you will be a servant." That's what Inueh said a while ago too."I just want to say something." I nodded my head at her and focused on what she would say. "I don't know where you are from and I will not ask about your background anymore. It's not my job. I trust Young Master for bringing you here. Although, I want you to be careful around here. It's not like what you think. There's more than that.""What do you mean, Manang?" I asked."You will see it." And she left me wondering after that.What worst could it be?I left the room after washing my clothes, trying to look for Manang Theresa. She told me to rest but I can't do it in this place. I will feel like a prisoner if I do.The small table in the center with different kinds of foods was the first thing I saw. I am not that hungry but the way they made these can make me salivate. However, I still have someone to look for.I shifted my way and went to the door I don't know where I am leading to and opened it just to find a garden full of flowers, but I won't dare to touch any of them, they could poison me."Who are you?" A soft voice asked me. I flinched when I heard it behind me so I turned around, looking at the girl who's wearing very simple but long clothes with a lot of dirt on it. She looks so innocent, her face is small but she has big eyes. Her hair is still silky even though it was messy. I smiled at her. "Hi. I am Analisse, I will be the new servant here. I am looking for Manang Theresa." I think she didn't want to trust me at firs
Solana gazed at me right away after she apprehend what was being said to her. She bit her lips, nervous of the outcome she might face because of Diane.I wonder what she needs from her this time and the one who called Solana was in horror. I smiled at Solana a little. Maybe this is the chance to see the outside. "I will go with you." I told her, and once she heard that her eyes sparkled. It made her less nervous since she will have company.She agreed immediately and we both made our way to the house where Diane was staying.It's not that far from the servants' house since they really need to be here quickly once they are called. I raised my head as I stared at this big house, the entrance has engraved letters on it so I stare at it. Moon Subdue Palace, so that is how this place is called. The outside really has a strong foundation, no wonder royalties live here. Solana's eyes and I met as she nodded at me, telling me that we can go inside now. I followed her until we reached the bi
Not only Diane was found standing behind me, there's also Solana who doesn't know how she will react at this very moment."How dare you!" Diane's voice echoed inside the house, her speed was unrecognizable as she went in front of that lady who's shaking right now. The last thing I knew, she's already holding and gripping her neck tightly. Was she trying to kill her?"Please, Lady Diane. Let her go!" The old lady pleaded, crying out loud but Diane's pity was out of reach.She can't speak anymore, her face became pale while her hands slowly drifted down the gemstone."Die!" She was ready to break her neck when I held her shoulders, trying to stop her from doing so."Diane." I called her. She stopped for a moment and looked at me, her eyes were raging with anger."Did I tell you to mind the business here? Don't act like you're needed here." I nodded my head, slowly and sighed."I am not. But please let her go and explain." After hearing that from me, all she did was smirk. "There's noth
I woke up because someone tapped my cheek, I slowly opened my eyes to see who that person was."Analisse, are you awake yet?" I heard a soft question. When I opened my eyes, I was exposed to the light from the sun's rays. Where am I? I slowly stood up, holding my head when I felt a pain in it. While closing my eyes, the events that happened last night seem to come back to me little by little, are they really? I asked myself. I looked at the person who woke me up, I saw Solana looking worried, what happened? After I lost consciousness, I don't know what happened next. I looked around and saw that I was already at the servants' house, who brought me here? "Are you okay? Do you need anything?" Solana asked me worriedly. I looked at her and smiled, I just shook my head to ease her worry. "What happened?" I asked her. She sighed and sat next to me. "Some people found you unconscious at the entrance of the forest when they were back from a hunt, they didn't know you so they thought y
Rumors started around the moment Sebastian decided who he wanted to be his personal servant. I can't escape their judgemental stares, especially the ladies who I think are already killing me with their gaze."Who is she? Why is she here? Could she be a spy?" I just sighed to the side and shook my head. I didn't expect that it would be this difficult for me even with the low role in a pack."But we don't know her well yet, we don't know where she came from. It won't do the prince any good if she stays by his side." One of them said, I just ignored it because I know myself better than these people. I just hope for this to end. I saw the Alpha's smile that's why I couldn't figure out what he wanted to convey. However, it looks like no one here knows me."Are you sure of your choice?" The Alpha asked Sebastian. He just nodded, but no emotion could be read on his face. What was he thinking? If he wants to make fun of me and trip me up in exchange for helping me then, I will not allow myse
"What did you just say?! How dare you!" She was about to slap her when Diane grabbed her hands fast."Do you need me to repeat it?" She asked her, cold but dangerous. I would like to see this Diane more in this kind of situation, instead of her playing games with servants which have no match to her. Feroah pushed Diane's hand away, she even shook her hand and looked at it as if she was disgusted. "You are so arrogant now, you seem to have forgotten where you came from?" Feroah asked with a hint of insult. As far as I know Diane was adopted by the Alpha but I don't know what the story is other than that. I looked at Diane and noticed that her hand was clenched. She's ready to attack now. "Oh what? Did you remember?" Feroah asked her fiercely, little by little Diane's face changed into a silly smile that's why I held her hand to stop her from doing something that would get everyone's attention. "Get lost." I told her. "Maybe it's even better for you two to be together, you are both
This is the day that I will start being Sebastian's personal servant, Solana woke me up early to remind me and so that I could prepare early. I got up from the bed and prepared myself. Who would have thought that the brave woman fighting the war then would become a servant in time? As I straightened myself up I laughed out loud at my thought.This is who I am now, that's why I'd rather just accept it than go back to the past that only caused me pain. I missed the memories I had, but it's time to forget those people. After a while, Solana suddenly entered the room. I looked at what she was carrying."What is that?" I asked her. She smiled and handed it to me so I could see it.When I looked at it, it was a white dress, the embroidery design was very beautiful. I even heard Solana's laughter, so I looked at her with surprise. "Manang Theresa is giving it to you, she didn't say who it came from. You should wear it now because she said the clothes I wore before don't suit your complexion
"Death Wish?"They all nodded."Yes, and some bottles were missing then. Still haven't found who took them." Lore said. "I thought that medicine was just a myth." Maybe my face is a mess now that's why they laughed at it. "Our ancestors studied that strange medicine for a long time and that's why it became perfect through millions of attempts. That medicine is kept because of its ability, others make experiments with it to bring the dead back to life but no one succeeds. " Ruby's story."The only thing it can do is kill a person and bring him back to life after a few hours, stopping the heart from beating, but one has to be careful because when the dead body faces some circumstances it may not come back to life anymore. It is very dangerous to use that drug also because of what it can do to a person." She warned. Then it is true that there is such a medicine. But why would Nicolas want to take it? Where does he intend to use it?"How can someone take that kind of medicine?" I asked
