Bridget warily scanned his surroundings, the silence so profound it tensed every nerve in his body. The pitch darkness of the forest revealed how dreadfully lost he had become.Indeed, he had lost his way. As Bridget and his subordinates were chasing a winged tiger, they were suddenly attacked by giant carnivorous plants, causing everyone to scatter. Unsure of his men's condition, Bridget used the brief moments of rest while catching his breath to think. He hoped that no one from his tribe had become lost in the forest like he had.For this place was perilous.A forest feared and respected by the people of the North.A forest of death.Even someone as confident in his strength as Bridget wouldn't recklessly venture here, let alone others.Thus, his nose continuously sniffed the air to detect any lurking creatures, and his ears stayed alert for the approach of any monsters. The slightest rustle would allow Bridget to react instantly.He maintained this high level of vigilance until a s
After Bridget dealt with the frog monster, he quickly followed the lingering scent of the girl and chased after her.He had determined that she was his mate, so there was no reason he couldn't bring her back to his tribe.Thinking of her face flushed with embarrassment made him smirk with satisfaction.Unfortunately for him.By the time he arrived, he only found his proud little wolf curled up under a large tree in the middle of the forest.In an instant, anger quickly swept over him, turning his once bright face dark and grim.He slowly approached the quiet little wolf. His hand gently touched the furry body, and fortunately, the warmth from the little wolf made him breathe a sigh of relief.His wolf was still alive; it was merely sleeping.For a moment, seeing his pet lying on the ground, he thought it had lost its life. His heart, which had been pounding fiercely, gradually calmed down."Hzzz"Look at that, he wasted his effort worrying about it, and this little creature nonchalant
Layla happily looked at the man sitting across from her, the one soon to become her life partner and step into the remaining journey of life with her. "Layla, you are beautiful." Leon, her destined partner, looked at her with a mesmerizing gaze, uttering the compliment from the depth of his heart. That whispered sentence made the successor queen of wolves shyly bow her head, too embarrassed to let him see her flushed face. Today is a special day for the Western wolf tribe, the wedding day of wolf queen Layla. Below the tree platform where Layla and Leon stand are several hundred wolf tribe members from the West. They cheer and celebrate the marriage ceremony of the Western tribe leader. The excited sounds urge the powerful couple to drink deer blood from a cup, like humanity's wine toasting ritual. Here, this marrying pair doesn't need anyone to officiate their wedding, for they are already the king and queen of this Western land. All they need is the witness of their tribe members
Layla is the only daughter of her father, and from a young age, she was raised to be a strong warrior. Therefore, her presence is felt in any battles of the Western tribe. A powerful, alluring, and determined she-wolf, that's how everyone acknowledges her. Moreover, Layla possesses a beautifully crafted face, with glossy black hair tied neatly behind her, and a set of animal-skin armor that makes her a dazzling hero admired by all.Certainly, no one would have expected such a noble wolf, like an angel from above, to end up in such a filthy state.Layla leans against the wall, her once bright blue eyes now soulless. Her beautiful hair is now crudely cut and sticky with blood. The lush red lips that once invited kisses are now dry and cracked. The charming face that attracted so many looks is now bruised and dirty.Her entire being emits a foul, putrid odor.How long have they kept her captive?She doesn't know anymore. In this dark and damp place, sunlight is a luxury.Layla stares bl
Layla suspected that she had died. She always felt her body floating weightlessly, neither in pain nor comfort. The emotion hovered ominously. She wanted to move her limbs, to open her eyes and see what the afterlife was like. But everything was in vain. Or was it because her sins were too great, and this was her punishment? To exist in this vague void. Ah, this is truly a cruel punishment. Layla chuckled at herself, thinking that if given another chance, the first thing she would do is to eliminate those wretched scum. Make them disappear from this world completely! But she knew it was just a fantasy. Ah!!! So cold?! Suddenly, a chilling sensation attacked Layla's mind, a relentless cold that made her feel extreme pain. At this moment, she couldn't understand why she was already dead and still had to endure such agony! Did she commit some heinous act that warranted such punishment from the heavens??? Layla was both resentful and angry at the injustice that the divine had impo
Bridget asked with confusion, "What's the matter?"Clara, tasked with caring for his young wolf, bowed nervously to her leader and stammered, "My leader, I was dressing your pet's wounds... but for some reason, it suddenly started howling…”Bridget frowned and quickly approached the wolf pup. Sitting down gently, his typically cold, golden eyes softened upon contact with the tiny, fluffy creature. His large, calloused hand lightly touched the cringing pup, stroking it very gently. However, it seemed the young wolf was not accustomed to being touched, so it tensed up, turning its small body to warily regard him.…There was something endearing about it.Bridget smiled, smoothing the pup's furry little head that was close to his hand."Ah!" Bridget's finger throbbed, and he looked down to see that the ungrateful wolf had bitten him. Truly ungrateful indeed.He was the most ruthless leader of the North, never before had any creature dared to defy him like this. If it had been anyone else,
After the day Layla heard the news that the Western territory had changed hands, time seemed to fly by, and before she knew it, the night of the full moon had arrived.She lay on Bridget's shoulder, appearing lazy but her eyes vigilantly observing her surroundings.Groups of fierce werewolves were seriously patrolling their territory. This tense atmosphere reminded Layla of rumors about this cold land.Unlike the peaceful Western territories, during the full moon, the Western werewolves held noisy festivals. At these times, single werewolves sought partners for passionate, fiery nights.Indeed, the Western tribe was unrestrained and lacked self-control. Hence, her father, the tribe leader Baron, had repeatedly warned his subordinates. He said: "We are warriors, our duty is to stay alert, not to indulge in desires."Her father constantly trained the werewolf warriors, rotating them between guarding and hunting duties.However, in the eyes of the elders of the tribe, her father's effort
Layla looked at the dark scenery outside the window, which was actually just a small hole in the cave wall. It couldn't be compared to a normal house window like those in the Western tribe, but at least it allowed for ventilation and a view of the distant sky.From the window, she could smell the strong scent of blood wafting in from outside. It was very pungent.This confirmed her suspicion. On full moon nights, the animals of the North went berserk and attacked the tribe living here.But why? She hadn't heard of such a problem in the Eastern or Southern regions. It could be that those areas were hiding it like the Northern tribe, or it might be that only the North experienced this issue.There were two possibilities: one, something about the Northern territory made this unique situation occur; two, the Western territory had something that protected it from these full moon attacks, so she had never known about it from childhood to adulthood.If possible, she thought she might investi
