Erza POV I have had a long sleep since I arrived at the new pack. I had a strange dream; I met close people I hadn't seen in a long time, like my parents. They stood in the distance, looking at me in warrior clothes. There was still some blood on my mother's body; I don't know if it was her or the enemy's blood. For many years lived in the ridicule and contempt of others. I heard my mother's voice of comfort and recognition. I listened to her sobbing, blaming herself for not being able to take good care of me. She also doesn't want me to become a famous hero; She hopes I can grow up happy and healthy. But it seemed that even that simple wish of my mother could not be fulfilled. Even though I never wanted to, trouble kept coming to me. It messed up my life like a bunch of cotton candy. After a while, my mother's voice and the image blurred in my vision, I tried to chase her, but she disappeared into the night. I called her name and went to find her. Through a very long road, I almos
While I was fighting intensely, I heard Ryan's sarcastic tone again. "Think carefully before you leave here." Ryan paused for a moment and then continued with obvious joking implication. "Smart people should be aware of the seriousness of the problem, right?""I'm not going anymore," I growled small. After that fight, my brain won. Because it or I know well, life is more important than face.Ryan smiled, satisfied. "As expected, you are still a smart person. Now go to sleep."I stood there indifferently; Ryan didn't like my slowness; his displeasure was evident on his face.But Ryan didn't rush or complain; he patiently waited for me in bed.It wasn't until I lay on the bed that Ryan lay down beside me. He doesn't touch me, just whispers. "Don't waste time thinking nonsense. Or spend time and mind facing what happens the following days.""What can I do?" I asked again immediately.Ryan half-closed his eyes. "Performing the initiation ceremony, you become part of the pack."An uneasine
I walk in front of Ryan's yard for the next few days. And that was with his permission, and Evelyn led the way. Otherwise, I have to stay in my bedroom 24 hours a day under extreme boredom. I was initially upset, thinking that Ryan had left Evelyn behind to supervise me, but I later learned that he was only concerned with my safety. Although his caring way is a bit possessive, it comes from the heart, so I don't get annoyed anymore.Ryan is not often at home. I heard Evelyn say he was preparing to attack some pack in the West. I don't like war, but I can't intervene or advise Ryan. It was as if I was misusing authority and could be sentenced to death.Through Evelyn, I know some more information for me is needed next.When I recover a little, the harsh training will officially begin. And I only have two weeks to prepare. But the rules and things related to the initiation ceremony she did not reveal, only said when the trainer would tell me.A few days later, the wound on my body was c
I calmed my breathing a bit and then asked. "Can you tell me more about this contest?" I asked stupidly. I had never heard of any initiation ceremony before, nor had anyone told me how to pass it.Evelyn picked up a dry branch and scribbled it on the ground to form a mountain peak. "This is Moon Mountain, considered the holy place of Black Moon. Each new member must go to the top of the mountain to receive the moon goddess's blessing and a seal. But the survey is not simple. The mountain is divided into three, clearly divided. The first part will be vertical slopes, testing the speed and endurance of werewolves. In the second part, testing strength and agility, traps and other wolves will be everywhere; they are all carefully selected. The third part is the test of intelligence, pass and you will reach the top of the mountain. Everyone will gather there waiting for you. Alpha will be the one to carve your mark."I listened attentively, sometimes looking up at the giant mountain in the
Those words of Ryan involuntarily gave me a boost. Ignite the fire in me intensely. He was the first to tell me I wasn't different and taught me how to shine.I speak from the bottom of my heart. "Thank you very much."Ryan narrowed his eyes, and his eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon after a while. I was drawn to his eyes; I saw him when he smiled so gently. "You don't sound like a rumor at all."Ryan's smile faded, and he looked at me seriously. "You are wrong. Those rumors are true. Only because you are my chosen mate makes any difference. There are no other exceptions. The better you think for me, the more disappointed you will be when you know more about me later."I blinked my eyes. "But for me, you're pretty good." I have been looked down upon and bullied since I was a child. Ryan is one of the rare people who treat me with sincerity, even though it also stems from his misperception. One day if he realizes I'm not his destiny, I'll be kicked out of the pack. But that
"She..." Evelyn blushed furiously, but there's no way to say I don't have a wolf, I'm just an average human, and I can't keep up with the speed of a purebred werewolf.Diana despised. "Since when did my brother become so holy? Accepting a trash guy in the pack. Or the quality of werewolves here is getting lower and lower every day. Is your training poor? You alone are incompetent. Enough, don't create trash like you?"With those words of defiance, Evelyn lost her composure. Her eyes turned red, and she turned into a wolf. The first time I saw Evelyn in this form, she was beautiful.Her eyes are red like blood, all her white fur sucks, but her ears are black.Diana scoffed. "Want to fight me? Let me see how much you've improved in the past year."Saying that Diana's body glowed and transformed. She was a jet-black wolf with glowing orange eyes. Compared to Evelyn, Diana's size is slightly larger; her claws are also longer.To my surprise, Diana's wolf resembled the male wolf in my drea
I don't know Ryan’s punishment, but it seems very scary. The crowd around me talked more and more, and I heard people asking each other. “What kind of punishment will that be?”“Will be released into a place arranged with iron walls on all sides with no way to escape. Inside, lions, leopards, tigers, and countless wild wolves will be released into it. Each stage will meet at least one species; after winning, the next door will open. When you complete ten stages, you will be released. But I've never seen anyone come back alive….” The man shuddered.My back was cold; I saw Diana being dragged across the floor; she screamed hoarsely, in great agony.I stared at Ryan as if I needed his confirmation, and he raised his eyebrows as if telling me what I had just heard was true. I couldn't help but tell Ryan. "Don't do that, okay?"“Why beg for her? She just wanted to kill you.” Ryan coldly glanced at me.I was frightened by this indifferent expression of his, and I frowned. "Don't be so cruel
Innocent Max doesn't understand what's going on. “What work? The things in my pack have been handled well for a long time.”“What about monitoring nearby packs and preparing for the upcoming convention?” Ryan asked.Max glanced at Evelyn, finding Ryan very strange today. "It was done a long time ago," Max replied.Evelyn laughed, whispering in my ear. "The better Max does now, the more annoying our Alpha becomes, but he's so stupid, he can't understand Alpha's intentions."I chuckled, too, watching Ryan's pitiful expression.Moments later, he stood up, all his anger pouring out on poor Max. “Follow me for special training.”Evelyn clutched her stomach with a wry smile while waiting for them to leave. "Poor Max, he must have been severely abused by Alpha; I don't know if he will be able to get up tomorrow."I see her happy and feel better; remembering what happened to Evelyn that day makes me sad."Are you ok?" Evelyn circled me. “Alpha was here the whole time you passed out.”I am sur
