Megan who has been through her life in Norway for three days can only take a deep breath. It wouldn't matter if she was in 2010, but in reality she was stuck in 1945.
Now Megan really understands that she is not dreaming or hallucinating, but rather her life is completely thrown into the past. During her time accepting the reality, she preferred to spend time at Ann's house.
But today differently, Megan decided to go along with Ann and Rudo to one of the markets selling various food needs.
The market mostly sells wheat, seafood and fruits. It happens that spring makes the garden on the high ground fertile.
Megan even borrowed Ann's dress which was below the knee-length. But when she wears it, the waist size of the dress is quite narrow. She usually sees dresses like that only in Little Women or Jane Eyre movies. Very classic, but also graceful.
Ann even styled Megan's hair and tied it up with a ribbon, making Megan instantaneously like a girl who actually lived in 1945.
Megan doesn't talk too much when she's at the market, because Ann is very reliable when it comes to shopping. But her eyes caught a group of boys who appeared to be staring at her.
"Who are they?" Megan asked, making Ann follow her point of view.
Anna immediately pulls Megan's hand to another place, the part that sells food that looks crowded.
"They are the children of officials in this area and like to do their best," Ann said in Norsk. She certainly understands that Megan's presence looks alien in the area.
Dasford, however, is not a large and densely populated area, so some observant eyes may capture Megan's awkward-looking figure there. Megan squinted as Ann's hand continued to hold her away from the market. "Even this era in power will always be the possibility of abusing his power," she murmured quietly.
"Colonization makes people try to survive on their own. One of the leaders we used to know was wise and responsible, in fact giving up when his family was put in prison," Ann said, recounting a story of colonialism that took place in the Dasford region that is still a Norwegian territory.
Megan listened well. She has only known the story of the colonization of a nation to another nation through books, documentaries or Thomas stories.
"Prison, it's not as bad as how genocide is happening elsewhere," Megan replied with a deep sigh. She remembers the famous Holocaust that killed millions of people.
"Genocide?" Ann repeated, who did not seem to understand or was unfamiliar with the term.
Megan noticed, a little chuckle. "It could be a mass murder."
Ann nodded her head understandingly. Along the way home, she asked Megan a lot of questions. Especially what happens in the future.
Megan realized one thing, that during her time at Ann's house, she felt that the day passed quickly. What's more, it's not Ann's activities that always attract her, starting from how to cook by collecting firewood, cutlery dominated by wood or porcelain and like the afternoon now. Where Ann is busy growing vegetable and fruit seeds in her backyard.
Such things would have never been discovered or seen by Megan if they had been in 2010 in London. She lives in modern life with all the metropolitan problems that exist. Having stayed for a few weeks makes Megan slowly remember the roads she went through in Dasford. Moreover, the area is not too wide, it's just that the lush trees plus steep cliffs make Megan have to be extra careful when walking alone.
Everything in Dasford in 1945 always amazes Megan, except at night. She always heard the wolf howling and somehow in Ann's large bedroom window, she seemed to feel that someone was secretly watching her.
◇◇◇
Today Megan decided to return to the place where she initially came to her senses. It just so happens that Ann is away accompanying Rudo to pick up the goods at the port. Rudo, who works as a merchant, keeps the man around Norway.
Megan decided to wear a brown fur coat that had a hood, especially seeing the sky was cloudy. She walked slowly down a completely unpaved road, so the pebbles were still so felt when she stepped on it. Megan's breath always does when she starts entering the Jazmore forest. She certainly remembers that Rudo once said that the forest was forbidden, but she who came there in 2010 found no strangeness. One of the things that made her want to go to the well where she was found was the bag she was wearing, not on it.
Whereas Megan felt that the bag was slinging on her body tightly, so that even though it fell into the well it was difficult to escape from her. She felt the bag was so valuable, not because of the contents of her wallet or mobile phone, but Helena's diary inside.
The drizzle started to drop as Megan felt it was getting closer. The trees are also increasingly lush with uneven plains of land. Her eyes became slightly wide-open when she began to see the well. She with her feet stepped faster, but suddenly she stopped.
Megan's mouth was slightly open when she saw a wolf approaching the well. It's not an ordinary wolf that she often sees on Nat Geo Wild's channel, but rather a big wolf. Megan's body was shaking with fear, especially as the wolf turned her body towards her. She remained stunned when her eyes met the wolf's golden eyes.
The greyish-white fur looks sharp, but also exudes the formidable and graceful aura seen by Megan. Slowly the woman's fear turned to amazement.
Suddenly a whistling sound was heard and made the wolf move from near the well. This surprised Megan, as the big wolf is someone's pet.
Megan's legs spontaneously walk in the direction where the wolf goes, but she sees that it leads to a deeper part of Jazmore forest. She is certainly still afraid to go further, especially with the presence of the big wolf figure. She could be eating by that wolf.
Megan tries to focus herself on the well that's nearby. But there was nothing she was looking for, especially the well was full of water, plus rainwater was falling. Feeling disappointed and desperate to make it back out of the Jazmore jungle. But as soon as Megan turned around at first glance to see the well once again, it was like seeing a human figure peering behind a large tree not far from the well.
Megan can't see the human face, but one thing's for sure. The figure is a shirtless man who makes Megan immediately run away to get out of the Jazmore forest. Various negative thoughts begin to haunt her head, ranging from men who may be bad people or cannibals living in the forest.
"Where are you from?" Ann asked, whose body was almost drenched in rainwater.
Megan could see that Ann and Rudo were back. She flashed a fleeting smile.
"Take a walk and... looking for my bag," Megan replied telling the truth.
"What?" Rudo seemed surprised to hear it. She certainly understood that the woman meant to have just visited the Jazmore forest, where the well is located.
"You can't go there. It's very dangerous in the forest," Rudo said, who insisted.
Megan nodded quietly. "Right, there I saw a big wolf."
Rudo and Ann exchange glances with a stunned look at each other's faces.
The reaction from the father and daughter left Megan confused.
"Wolf?" Rudo repeated, showing a face of fear.
"Yes, isn't that natural? The forest became one of the wolf's places," Megan replied, not seeing what to fear with the presence of wolves in the forest.
"Father, does... maybe it will happen again?" Ann Ann with a desperate tone that further confused Megan.
Rudo, who was standing at first, is now sitting down sighing. "Full moon is about to appear. We have to be careful from now on."
"What the hell is going on?" Megan asked curiously.
Rudo stared closely at Megan. "In the past, there were times when nights were so scary in Dasford. The sound of wolf howls that are heard will always be accompanied by the smell of carnations and the sound of screaming for help."
"Wolves pouncing on citizens?"
This time it was Ann who shook her head slowly. "If it's just a wolf, one bullet will knock him out."
Megan's eyebrows were raised. "Then what is it?"
"Monster," Rudo replied in a tone without hesitation.
Megan became silent on the spot. She digests Rudo's words slowly, after starting to accept that she was in the colonial period, now she must also prepare to face the monster figure.
Megan then remembers the man she also saw, not only in the Jazmore forest, but the night she was first at Ann's house.
"What does the monster look like?" Megan asked, making Rudo keep his saliva up.
"No one has ever seen for sure, except for the victims whose bodies were torn apart with no remains and can be confirmed dead," Rudo replied with a serious facial look.
"But isn't the rumor that the monster is like a beautiful human being? Except for a few different parts of her body?" Ann added with a dreamy look.
Megan's with her saliva. If she were in London now and told by her friends, then surely she would be laughing out loud now. But seeing Ann and Rudo's expression and the fact she was in Norway in 1945 makes her now shiver in horror.

Thank you, if you reading this story ^^
No matter how much she understands and adjusts, in fact Megan is still fixated on what happened to her. Her days are nothing but trying to be a girl like Ann doing homework, while occasionally visiting plantations or ports. She missed the morning where the first thing she did was check the timeline on every social media account she had.The only striking thing Megan notices is Rudo's anxiety every time she comes home. Usually the man will only read a few books borrowed by Ann from the local library while enjoying a brew of unfected coffee. But this time she could see Rudo who seemed to be sitting face down with his eyes down.Megan tried to get close to the man. However, she is indebted to Rudo and Ann who are ready to accommodate her. She didn't imagine being anywhere else, not sure if it would be as good as she was at Rudo's house.Megan's buttocks sit on a wooden bench in the living room, where Rudo is currently. It just so happe
Megan's feet kept paddling with Ann until she reached the last village. They stop after Anna says that their route will be steep and difficult to travel by bike. Therefore, the two left their bikes to one of the traders who is still Rudo's business partner.Before Megan and Ann left the merchant's house. Both were given headgear on the forehead which is said to be a shield from attacks by wild animals. Although Megan doesn't really believe it, she still wears it as respect and gratitude."The sun is about to set... and in front of it was just a wilderness," Ann said looking at Megan who seemed to exhale her eyes while taking a deep breath.Megan wears a bag behind her back, just like Ann. Bags made of knitted fabric contain robes that prevent the cold of the night or at times of rain, food and drinks and matches to warm the body after picking up twigs and flashlights that have limited batteries.Megan and Ann stand
The roar of Megan's breath is increasingly audible. Her eyes were beaming forward, a light flashing among the trees. Her hand kept holding Ann's hand in the cold of the night."What do you know about this place?" Megan asked with her eyes constantly on alert.Ann came to see the light up ahead. "As far as I'm concerned, it's just a trade route that people don't live in. It's near the Swedish border."Megan then turned to look up at the sky. "It's been a full moon for a few days."Ann flashed a thin smile. "I've heard people say that it's time the moon would shed blood."Megan became gasped to hear it. "What?" She found it a little funny that the moon would shed blood."Rudo has also said that at that time monsters would go out looking for prey, so in the past people were often lost and ... just left a drop of blood," said Ann in a slow tone, but it sounded serious.
Nothing scarier than being cooped up alone in a room that doesn't even know who the owner really is. Megan, who's been locked up for three days, always can't sleep well. She realized that she was in a castle-like building. A place he didn't really think existed.During those three days, especially at night, Megan felt that someone was constantly paying attention to her. What's more, it was the sound of wolf howls that made her curl up in her filter.One thing that also makes Megan wonder is that she was only given water and fruits during her captivity. She did not know why she was being held at the site. But today she is determined to escape and try to find Ann and Rudo.The only gap Megan could use to escape was a window covered by a fairly long curtain.Megan's brain is trying to figure out how long the curtains and height are now. However, it was a little disturbed as soon as the sound of the room doo
The sound of wolf howls was unable to beat the roar of the waves that rocked the cliffs along the fjords of the Movaro region. Megan still freezes silently with what she has just seen, however she can see and feel her torn top. With her hands shaking, s he tried to cover the area of her chest.Yagur looked around, then turned to stare at the still-happening lunar eclipse. He then looked at Megan again and immediately grabbed the woman's body holding her."Sir, it looks like it's from the Alpha Eden pack," Eslor said, approaching Yagur."I know. I'm not going to let Eden be that easy to meet with her," Yagur replied, glancing at Megan at a glance."Command our whole flock to locate Eden and his flock. I'll take Eden away."Like a gust of wind, Yagur then moves away Megan's body by entering a forest area. His running legs seemed to float and were painless as he walked on steep rock
Eden's arrival brings Megan to be welcomed by all the Werewolves and their Mates in the castle owned by the Eden family. They were in human form bowing when Eden climbed the castle steps."Sir, let me clean her body," Silvina said, Mate of Perol who is half human and half Werewolf.Eden nodded briefly. "I'll leave it to you.," he said, leaving Megan's body in a tub made of wood. The tub is in a semicircular place with a hollow roof to get sunlight or the moon to sneak in and the place is at the top of the castle. A place where Eden used to clean himself without anyone having the right to use it.Silvina then calls a mate from another Werewolf to help her. Megan's eyes kept closed despite the flow of water and Silvina's soft touch that cleansed her body.After finishing Megan put on a dress with some layers of fabric to ward off the cold air tonight. Her body was then laid on Eden's bed. A night without a full
Megan had been in Eden's castle for over a week and never had the slightest thought of wandering, other than trying to find a way to escape. She still does not believe in the fate that mentions her as the eternal partner of Eden. Especially considering that Eden is still one type with Yagur. Something that's beyond her senses. Something that looks both dangerous and thrilling every time she imagine it.But Megan has always found it hard to find a way to escape. During the day, Eden often goes with some men who are often referred to as Megan's subordinates. But Megan has to face Silvina and Mate from another Werewolf who is watching her.There was nothing Megan could do but walk around the castle or curl up in her room all day, unless she was called to eat.But today Megan feels different, because Eden has not left the castle since this morning and chose to sit by the room window reading a book. She did not expect that the man also looked like a man in general wh
"The Rogue herd led by Furgo begins an invasion of Movaro's borders. Since Yagur died without an heir, the whole herd split up and made it easier for the Rogue to take over the place," Perol explained to Eden who had just returned with Herol."What is Furgo's purpose? Isn't he powerful enough in the forest area of Reèmor?" Eden asked, who knows clearly about one type of Werewolf, a Rogue who is not bound in a pack or has territory like the Alphas."Reémor clearly wasn't enough even if he controlled the entire forest, but he wanted Movaro to own the castle," Herol replied."Has there been a pack he's bothered with?" Eden asked, not wanting to interfere if Furgo wanted to take over Movaro, who actually had heirs from Yagur's lineage. That would be a matter for both of them, not Eden's business.Perol remembers thinking for a moment. "I don't think so.""All righ
