The rain didn't stop even after the aftermath of the invasion. As soon as Varick arrived, it didn't take too long before he decimated the remaining rogues in his house, including Heinfield. It was a one-sided battle as they tried to escape from his wrath and failed as Varick was in his complete wolf form.He tore their limbs when they were fleeing and those brave enough to fight couldn't last a second as soon as he struck them. For Varick in his full-form was larger, stronger and faster than any of them combined.Heinfield was the last one in the vicinity, never having the chance to change his form while he was on the ground as the cold icy stare of Varick's wolf glaring at him. If anything, his wolf was kept its namesake as the descendant of Skoll.A war wolf and the bringer of Death."Sc-screw you…if you don't have Skoll's blood…we b-be…be…come—" were Heinfield's last words before he died, succumbing to his wounds.With no one to lead them, the remaining rogues had long fled befor

We drank to our hearts’ content in silence as we waited for Varick’s return. Phineas gave me time to mourn and I appreciated his way of letting me drown to my sorrow, drinking what was once a banal existence to my nunhood.Varick showed up, entering the wine cellar and his expression changed to that of a somber look as he stared at the collection of the finest liquor.“I am going to have them disposed of.”Phineas returned to his usual self as he gave him a sheepish grin. “I can do that with no complaints.”“Do what you must.”I gave the head mage the look as he shrugged. He was definitely going to take all of them for himself.“Varick,” I called out to him when he turned his back. “How are things with the Hatiist Church?”I knew I shouldn’t speak about Hati in front of him yet I was so curious. He didn’t say a word and he exited the wine cellar.“Varick!” I called out again as I tried to catch up to him.“Wait, Luna!” I turned to the Head Mage and he looked a bit guilty from the way

Perhaps the way he knelt down before me gave me a startle. My thoughts were all over the place that I hadn’t given myself enough time to absorb his words. While Phineas lost all of his weariness at that instant and was applauding from the sidelines and Varick finally stood up and returned his stoic expression, I was standing there—speechless— that a whirlwind of events happened in a span of a day. The invasion, the truth about Lenalee, her death… … and now, I was pregnant with the Alpha Leader’s child. Now it made sense why I was having a nauseating feeling last night and while I was grieving, I didn’t sense a new life in my womb. He held my cheek, and I stiffened from his foreign caring gesture. It felt warm and assuring to be touched by him. “You were hurt by those rogues. How were you feeling?”“I-I’m fine, r-really. They didn’t hurt me that much. Also, my regenerative ability helped me feel better.” I was not used to his kindness that my face burned up, glancing away from t

“I believe you have questions longing to be answered,” he stated, and I confirmed from his eyes that he had long observed me in silence.The dining room brought a feeling of normalcy that I didn’t expect from a wolf of prestige. Just like the hall where we had our greetings, the ambience felt homely. After he caught me in my own thoughts about my worries, my eyes dropped to catch sight of a bowl of porridge before me. When did he place a meal without me getting a whiff of its delectable smell? I felt foolish and obvious from the lack of focus around my surroundings and the Seer called it out.“Oh,” I said as I grabbed the spoon that was neatly placed next to the bowl. “Sorry, I have been rude, despite your hospitality.”“Well, I don’t blame you for the confusion of all things that happened to you. For instance, you were forced to marry rather than become a devoted nun to your Church.”“Yes, about that…” I gripped on my dress as I mentally brace myself to speak what came to my mind.

"That was a nice nap!" Phineas stretched his arms when he came out from the bedroom. ‘But I am impressed. The Seer doesn’t have any maids around and with a weak affinity to magic, he definitely had a lot of time to clean here.’He arrived at the living room and spotted the Seer reading one of the books he lent months back. Up until now, he hadn’t returned it to him but it didn't matter. Samael didn't know how to return what he borrowed, after all.His head perked up and his eyes lit. “Oh, about time you’re awake. You slept like a log for five hours.”‘That long?’ He thought. He yawned again as he stretched his arms. "With the events yesterday and some renovations in the aftermath, would you really blame me if I wanted to take a break?"He gave him an odd stare. “The current Alpha leader hasn’t rested until now.”Phineas ruffled his hair. “Well, I need more energy to gain more mana. Do you mind if you cut me some slack when I’m this tired?” He yawned again.In fact, P
