Chapter 31
Aesthelia goes back to the training ground. She sat on the lowest branch of a large tree. For the first time in a long time, the wind blew, which made her eyes shut tightly to let herself relax for the first time.
"Custos, can you tell me the future?" Aesthelia asked the spirit who was quietly standing right beside her.
Aesthelia summoned Custos for a reason that she wasn't sure of. She may have wanted to have someone beside her. She'd love a quiet, peaceful place, but every time she has it, there's no doubt that she is uncomfortable and at unease.
Aesthelia already knew the answer. Her death, Flo's fate, and more, proved that there could be change. Aesthelia just wanted to hear from Custos what his answer was.
"I'm afraid I can't."
"I don't have the ability to foresee the future," Custos responded with all honesty.
"But there's one thing that I know: the future can be changed accordingly, and it follows the present, "Custo

The loud sound of mourning erupted through the hall. The funeral is happening. After a day when the warriors returned, Aesthelia didn't waste any time making this happen.Gior and Flo were having a hard time with the news. They are tough guys, but, of course, they also have emotions. They are probably alone and weeping.Aesthelia felt the need to comfort them, but she couldn't. There's something she must do before that. She needed to stay strong for the pack. Aesthelia became the third-in-command. She didn't want it to be official. She was still hoping that the high-ranking wolves would escape from the vampire grasp.Aesthelia talked to Alpha Rou before their departure. She thought that it would change even a bit of the trade strategy.Most warriors recovered, but unfortunately, some took their last breath and came back as lifeless corpses. The only thing they could do was prepare a proper funeral burial to pay tribute to their bravery.

The weeping alpha didn't notice that someone had already walked to the area he was in. He didn't bother wiping his tears because he thought he was all alone. Gior wished he could go back in time and reconcile with his father, but he chose not to because he believed it was what Alpha Rou deserved.It's awkward for him to even call him "normally" father. His mind hasn't changed. Alpha Rou was the worst father in his eyes, but what Gior regrets is the fact that he hasn't forgiven him, but his father is gone now. The hatred that grew within him finally disappeared in an instant. He found himself yearning for his father, but Gior knows that it's too late now. It can never be changed. They can't travel back in time either. It has already happened. Aesthelia stood there as the misery seeped in through her heart. That was the same feeling she felt when

The pack gathered in the training grounds. As they waited for the new alpha, the wolves felt lost in the midst of chaos. They have been waiting for someone to lead them.Then they waited for Gior. They respected him because they knew he wasn't ready. Though everyone was anxious about what the pack would become. They decided to put their trust in Gior.The pack was relieved when Gior finally showed up for a pack meeting. The thought that they hadn't been abandoned by Gior made them hope for something.For some unknown reason, the vampires that attacked the outsider became less active, and it seems that the vampires quieted down for awhile, but that doesn't mean they won't attack again. If that's the case, at least they got someone, and it's Gior Frauzon.Werewolves won't be fooled the second time. The second war against them would be different. The warriors who survived vowed to tear vampires apart.The chattering can be heard from

Aesthelia looked around as the training grounds became more lively than the other day. The warriors who survived began attending the training again.They are determined to avenge their loved ones. Although they are in the middle of recovering from the tragedy, they push themselves to do something more than just mourn and sit around.Fortunately, no one has shown hostility or disrespect towards Aesthelia ever since that day. It looks like the werewolves finally recognized her hard work and accepted her as the third-in-command."Do your squats properly," Aesthelia commanded as she saw someone slacking off again.Well, unlike before, the trainee purposely does things that would annoy Aesthelia, but right now, the trainee who was slacking off was just exhausted.It seems that the trainee has been working hard. Even though the trai

The pack meeting ended a while ago. Aesthelia was the last person who went out, as she insisted on helping with cleaning and other stuff. She'd done that, so she could've had more time with Marie as Aesthelia told her everything that happened.Since the vampires have been leaving signs that they appear in certain parts of the outside, Aesthelia came up with a conclusion, that they were trying to lure the werewolves outside again and were ambushed just like they did.So, Aesthelia suggested that they should also be traced to some places. They bait the vampires as they hide like shadows. Aesthelia wasn't sure if that would work, but they had got to trust something.They won't be able to take a step forward if they let doubt get in their way."Well done, my lady.""You did great," Marie praised Aesthelia, which gave a hint of blush to Aesthelia's cheek."I just stood there and strategized," Aesthelia mumbled with a grin. It wa

Aesthelia frantically tried to search for the old woman's whereabouts. The old woman's disappearance confirmed that she was involved in witchcraft or so, but it wasn't important right now. evenif the old woman is a witch. Aesthelia didn't plan for execution. This story clearly said that witches and vampires have been conspiring to take over the world, but that sounded a little exaggerated to Aesthelia.It wasn't like the witches and vampires were good friends and allies. The empire made it look that way, so everyone has been hunting those who they thought were witches.Those who are naturally endowed with powers such as divine power are destined to be saints and saintesses in the cathedral, while those who possess powers through enchantment and summonings are hunted.Aesthelia wanted to ask for more answers to her questions. Why was she helping

The pack house was almost turned upside down when another issue was detected. It seems like the drought has come earlier than they expected. The high-ranking wolves are now allocating the remaining resources, and they have been discussing the best method to execute. The supplies have decreased, which has troubled them greatly. Gior and Aesthelia looked like each other. They agreed to keep their conversation last night secret. There was no doubt that Gior felt somewhat betrayed. He did not know what to do. Merideth is his childhood friend, and he promised Merideth's mom that he would protect his daughter. It has become more complicated. Both of them have not slept a wink since getting back into the pack house. Aesthelia planned to at least sleep the moment she got home. A human servant was ordered to bring Aesthelia into the pack house, and the same case with Gior. Aesthelia chuckled at Gior's growing eyebags, but even after h

The smell of cinnamon bread lingers in the air as it reaches Aesthelia's nostrils. When Aesthelia identified the bread, she almost immediately rose from the bed she was laying on.That was one of her favorites. So she sat up straight, even though she hadn't flitted her eyes open."Cinnamon... bread," Aesthelia said in a high-pitched tone, but her words trailed off.Aesthelia's heart almost dropped when she saw Gior sitting in front of her. Gior was comfortable sitting at the table located on the open balcony.Gior sipped his drink while looking at Aesthelia's path. I was wondering if this was her sleeping habit."Cute," Gior mumbled.Aesthelia immediately scanned herself. Aesthelia has been wondering why she is in bed right now when the last thing that she remembered was that they were on their way to the capital's market."What happened?" Aesthelia squinted her eyes at Gior's approach. Aesthelis didn't bother hiding
