“I can’t be certain of what lessons he teaches at Petrovic Academy. Violet only mentioned that Phill is a figure who saved her and Mali before,” I explained.“Oh God, I’m grateful you still create creatures with good hearts like them,” Hannah murmured with gratitude.Shortly after, maids came in carrying a change of clothes and several bowls of water.“Luna, may I clean Miss Mila for a moment?” she requested permission. I granted it.Not long after, a pack doctor arrived accompanied by a Healer.“Luna, has she suffered significant injuries?” he inquired.“No, Dr. Gomez. There are no serious injuries. But she’s unconscious,” I explained.“Allow me to examine her first.”“Please, Dr. Gomez.”Doctor Gomez stepped forward to examine Mila’s condition. After a brief check-up, she turned to the renowned Healer known as the messenger of the goddess and requested, “Please make a potion to heal her internal injuries. When I examined her, I couldn’t feel her abdominal muscles working properly. I
“What’s on your mind, Mate?” I asked, leaning in.“I managed to twist the arm of that creature to reveal Holly’s hiding place,” replied Alpha Matthew before taking a sip of his coffee.“Blimey, you really can capture them?” I exclaimed in amazement.Alpha Matthew handed me his coffee. “Drink up, you’re not even paying attention.”“Good Lord, you’re right. I’m not focused at all. I’m too worried about Mila’s condition,” I muttered.“Drink up,” he whispered. “You’re really knackered from constantly thinking about this.”“Of course, I’ve been in Hannah’s shoes before. Especially with my condition that’s not perfect anymore,” I whispered.“I don’t see you that way. You’re more than perfect in my eyes,” he whispered back. “I must say, old chap, I’m grateful for your words of assurance,” I nodded and smiled at Alpha Matthew.“This creature claims to have attacked someone,” Alpha Matthew whispered. “Perhaps another creature who disagreed with its ideas. I don’t know, but it said the creatur
"You've got to go there. Let's surround them so they take out their whole rat army. We have to make him surrender." Jamien said in a stern voice."But how do you get them to give themselves up?" My question was nervous."By attacking them together," Jamien muttered."Well. We must beat up the rats. They've been stealing our food all this time," Charlotte said, ready with her iron stuff.A brief time later, Charlotte shouted out, "Look at those thieving fat rats!" Jamien and I jumped as we saw the horde of rats approaching. They had a ferocious look in their eyes, red as hell. Charlotte swung at them while Jamien lit the incinerator on top of his shoulder."Why aren't they dying, even though we keep beating them until they bleed to death?" I said to Jamien."Good heavens, that loony woman appears to have mutated these rats into something else entirely," remarked a flustered Charlotte.As one of the rats sank its teeth into his leg, drawing blood, I desperately tried to free himself a
Alpha Matthew held back his anger as he asked Holly once again, “Why did you come to the Ethereal Hunters and ruin everything?”“You’re curious about my reasons, but you’re not curious about history, are you? Why don’t you dig deeper?” Holly retorted.Alpha Matthew growled, “Throwing around the word ‘history’ to defend yourself. Do you have any sense of history at all, Holly? You’re clearly not a werewolf.”Holly responded with emotion on her face, “Who calls themselves a werewolf? We’re not werewolves, but we were the first to discover this place before the werewolves came and ruined everything.”Alpha Matthew narrowed his eyes as he listened to Holly’s words. “What are you trying to say?” he asked in a low and dangerous voice.Holly laughed bitterly. “I’m saying that the werewolves have no right to be here. This land belonged to our kind long before your kind ever set foot on it.”“That’s ridiculous,” Alpha Matthew snarled. “This land belongs to no one. It’s a free territory for all
"W-What? Holly's dead?" Hannah stammered, shocked by the news."Yes, she was shot by Agent Kim," I whispered."Why did he shoot her?" Hannah asked, her voice trembling."Holly refused to answer our questions, Hannah. I believe she was trying to hide something," I explained briefly."What could she have been trying to hide?" Hannah's face was now filled with confusion.I took a deep breath and ruffled Violet's hair, who was also listening to our conversation."Sweetheart, why don't you go play with your brothers?" I suggested with a smile."But, mum-""Take them to have some of the chocolate truffles Uncle Charlotte gave you last week," I added."Well, I'm going to finish them tonight." Violet immediately ran away from us."I'm still curious about why Holly was hiding her reasons, even until her death," Hannah murmured."We don't understand Holly's intentions either, Hannah. Jamien and Agent Kim are still examining her in the lab. I hope this isn't related to anything else," I said, fo
“Good morning, I didn’t expect you all to leave so early today,” Agent Kim greeted as he saw us in the main lobby.“Well, this morning snow was quite surprising,” Alpha Matthew chuckled.“Did you let the children play in the pouring snow?” Agent Kim asked.“Well, of course. They were very enthusiastic about it,” I replied.Agent Kim chuckled before handing us each a sheet of paper. “This is a report I obtained from some neighbouring packs, as well as from border patrol guards.”“Are these reports legitimate?” Alpha Matthew inquired.“Of course, they are, Alpha Matthew.”“Wait, why is it only the Ethereal Hunters’ territory that is shrouded in mist?” I asked, sensing something amiss with the black dots on the map.“That’s what worries me, especially if the children are playing under a snowstorm. I’m not sure if it’s a genuine snowfall or due to Holly’s actions,” I replied.“Oh, bloody hell. Isn’t snow supposed to be natural?” Alpha Matthew sighed and handed the map back to Agent Kim.“
“Where did he go, dear?” Dad asked me.“I don’t know, dad,” I replied absentmindedly, as I truly had no idea where Alpha Matthew went after instructing us to stay home.It had been two hours since he left. Suddenly, as we all waited anxiously, the doorbell rang. Mark ran to open the door. “Am I interrupting?” I was sure it was Troy’s voice. “Come in, it’s dangerous out there,” muttered Mark. They entered and approached us.“Hey, I’ve noticed that the snow has suddenly started falling,” Troy said.“That’s right, it’s snowing all of a sudden. Is there a problem?” Dad nodded.“To be honest, there have been many problems lately,” Troy said while shaking off the snow from his cloak.He then showed the withered and bluish plants without any reason.“Ever since you captured Holly and those rats, all the vegetables in our field have turned out like this,” Troy explained.“Is everything destroyed without any apparent reason?” Mark asked.“Exactly, it’s all ruined without any clear cause. W
“Make her a hot drink first,” Alpha Matthew asserted in a hushed tone.I offered a warm drink to the unexpected visitor.After giving the girl some tea, Alpha Matthew asked, “Which school do you attend, Everly? And why did you get lost here? This is the outermost part of the Academy.”“Um… I took the most direct route through the forest,” she murmured.“Strange. Do you remember where your home is?” Hannah asked.Mark was listening in on our conversation.“Are you being honest with your testimony?” I asked, feeling suspicious. “Guards outside, won't they understand?”“Mate, calm down. Don’t be so rough with the kids,” Alpha Matthew whispered.“Actually, she’s not a child,” I snapped.“Be gentle, can’t have it both ways, can we?” Alpha Matthew rose from his seat.Dad and Mum, who heard the commotion, woke up and came over to us.“What’s happening? Why are you still awake at this late hour?” Dad inquired.“There’s a mysterious girl who strayed all the way here, Dad.” I replied.Dad glanc
