My hand firmly gripped the hem of the clothes. I turned my attention to other objects and used the time to think quickly. The drastic drop was not what I had expected. I hadn't prepared a coping plan to deal with this. This project was one that I worked on starting from 0. Even so, it didn't mean I could use the excuse that it was the first time for a failure."Luna, are you okay? Your face is very pale. Should I step in to replace you?" worried Zora. Her eyebrows drooped with a deep gaze."I came to you today to submit a report on a project I'm working on for another reason. I wanted to get to work and help you." Zora looked down and said that hesitantly. But a second later, she immediately straightened her gaze and moved her palms to the right and left."No, please don't take offense. Luna, I didn't mean to belittle you at all. I... I just wanted to help when I heard that your aunt passed away and you were feeling very down. I want to work on finishing your many tasks that must be
Spontaneously, I rose to my feet. I stared intently at Adam who walked over to me. It seemed that he sensed my worry and anger because the mind link between us was still linked. Realizing this, I immediately broke the mind link."Luna, even if you are worried, you must not make any rash decisions."Alpha Theron looked at us in confusion. His secretary, who seemed to have figured out what was going on, immediately whispered some news to Alpha Theron. He rose to his feet and immediately approached me."Forgive me if I'm presumptuous. Luna, you should not interfere in the fight between the Wildfire pack and the rogue pack," Alpha Theron said. He cast the same worried look as Adam.Wildfire pack under attack? The first thing I thought of was one word: help. I have to help them. After all, Wildfire Pack is my birthplace, my father's birthplace, and the place where my mother and father's love blossomed.It's enough that their presence was swept away by fate and their memories burned away be
"Luna, it's not too late if you want to come back." Adam looked back then back straight ahead.I, who was busy arranging the rifle, then turned my attention to the side. One of my eyebrows raised. A sense of wonder surfaced when I was looking at Adam."Are you scared right now?" I asked sarcastically. He, who was moving restlessly, immediately became still and looked at me sharply."If not, then shut up. We're too late to go back."Adam let out a long sigh. He leaned his head against the car window and turned to stare at me intently. His gaze seemed to be asking how powerful the rifle in my hand was."If you're asking how powerful the attack from this rifle is, the answer is that I don't know. This is the latest rifle that I made together with the expert. I've tried it out on experimental animals, and it works great. It can kill a wild animal in one hit.""I hope this rifle can also work well to finish off all our enemies. Be grateful that you have the opportunity to use this great ri
"Luna, it looks like we're running late."I glanced around. It was a tragic scene with piles of mangled corpses. Their bodies were torn apart. Their blood was flowing profusely, even forming a small river on the ground."So, are the rogues who attacked us the rogues who left after destroying the Wildfire pack?"Adam gave a weak look. "That seems to be the case, Luna.""Split up! Find anyone who's still alive! If you find a rogue, destroy it on the spot!" Adam ordered in a high tone."Yes!"The warriors, carrying their respective rifles, immediately went around the neighborhood. Some of them kept watch around the car which was an important transportation for us.My heavy legs forced themselves to take a step. My blank gaze tried to scan the surroundings even though I didn't know what I was looking for. The building that was once colorful with tall, shady trees was now just a gray, burnt-out-looking building and trees with fallen branches and scratch marks on their trunks.The green gra
"Luna, we should go through the eastern border. They haven't surrounded that part of the border yet." After Adam decided on the mind link, which I didn't know who he did it with, he immediately reported it to me. I just nodded approvingly. After all, Adam wouldn't make a wrong decision that would jeopardize me."Have they attacked in other parts of the border except the eastern border?""Yes, Luna."I bit my lower lip as I thought hard. If all the borders had been captured apart from the border Adam had mentioned earlier, it meant that the rogues and black witches had quickly pushed in and surrounded the Celestial Dawn pack.Were they so powerful and numerous? If you think about it carefully, of course, they will prepare a careful plan before attacking the largest pack in this country, the Celestial Dawn pack. If they didn't do that, they would be at a great disadvantage themselves. They wouldn't be so stupid as to cause harm to themselves.What if it turned out that there were quit
"It looks like we've wiped out all the rogues on the southern border."My breath was ragged and sweat was pouring down my forehead, but a satisfied smile rose from the exhaustion. The blood that stained my hands and face was no longer a stain, but a source of pride.I know I look like a crazy person who is enjoying someone's death right now. However, they will understand my feelings if they find people who deserve the death penalty. Eliminating one of their existence will save hundreds of people. Isn't that worth doing?This is the just law for me, at least at this moment, in a situation of war."Your face is dirty with their blood." Zacharias walked closer to me and rubbed my cheek gently. His brows furrowed and he suddenly brought his face closer to mine."They still dare to fight and hurt you even though their lives are at stake." Zacharias let out a long breath."It's alright. Besides, a small wound like this will close quickly." I grasped Zacharias' hand that stroked my cheek."I
The sky turned dark with smoke from the fire. Corpses, with burns that had almost consumed their entire bodies, lay on the streets. Leaves and grass that were once green now turned charred black and littered the ground.This was so bad.My footsteps stopped. My eyes were fully rounded. Before I could correct my choked breath, my feet had taken a step towards someone who took all my attention."Wh-what happened? Oh no! How did you get these wounds?" I panicked as I stared at the burns that covered almost the entire length of Zaire's right shoulder."How is this? What do I do with this wound?" I panicked. My hand repeatedly stretched forward and held back. I was overwhelmed with doubt and anxiety even if it was just to help a warrior who was bandaging Zaire's wound.Zaire continued to frown. An occasional sigh of pain escaped his lips. The sight hurt my heart.I was only gone for a few minutes, but why had things gotten out of hand?Zephyr suddenly confronted me. "Why are you here?"He
"Zair!" I shouted.Zaire released the embrace between us and straightened up. His soft eyes and sweet smile took my breath away. But that didn't last long when Zaire suddenly pulled out the arrows stuck in his back one by one."Zair! What are you doing?" I panicked. I hurriedly turned his body to look at his back. The wounds from the three arrows closed up perfectly, leaving only the cloth torn by them."Now, who are you worried about? These three arrows are ordinary arrows that can't hurt me. I only fell because I was startled.""More than that, what about your condition? You're still not allowed to use magic but you've forced yourself and even gotten hit by arrows. Perhaps the arrows are poisonous. We need to go to the hospital immediately. You need to be examined," Zaire continued. His hands settled on a pair of my arms. He was about to guide me to my feet but was held back when I didn't respond.Tes!"Wh-what did I do wrong?" panicked Zaire. His long fingers rubbed my cheeks care
