"You told me that you're going to give me my parents and let us live together quietly if I stab Alpha Jeric with a poisoned dagger," Lany said in a hard voice again when she heard no answer from Mondrei.
Mondrei faced Lany with his serious face. But even before he could answer her, she immediately spoke again.
"And I also didn't forget what you said that you never broke with your words," Lany continued.
"Yeah, I said that and I'm going to keep that, Ms. Barnes. So, don't worry," Mondrei said when he got a chance to speak.
"Then why are you just leaving? I'm not a fool, Mondrei. We're still inside your territory even though it's a bit far from the center of the camp. And I know that we can't get out of here easily."
"Don't be scared. You're safe now," a male voice said, who provided Lany with the protection she needs and temporarily removed the fear she was feeling. He even gently caressed her head, which was soaked in the rain, to comfort her and let her know that she was not alone in that forest.Lany tried to open her eyes again and lift her face when she heard that familiar voice.She wanted to confirm who it was but the sky released a loud thunder again together with the lightning. She can't open her eyes and just tightened her embrace to him even more instead. She felt so scared thinking that she might get struck by lightning or that whoever she was embracing, which served as her protection against thunder and lightning might suddenly leave her.The man didn't move and stayed in h
Dylan slowly stood up after the leader of the group approached him. He faced him and at the same time, he's observing what the others around him might do to him."I'm Dylan Jones, a friend of your leader Mondrei Basco," Dylan introduced himself in a calm voice. "I just need to get something inside the Mariano Forest, that's why I'm here.""I am Ramil, the one who's guarding the Mariano Forest," the group leader introduced himself as well. "Don't you know that Mariano Forest is sacred and Alpha Mondrei strictly forbids anyone to enter?""Didn't you hear what I said?" Dylan replied in a hard voice as he didn't like what the group leader said. "I said, I am a friend of your leader, Mondrei Basco." There's an emphasis on every word he says in front of Ramil.
"What do you mean by what you said that I should know?" Lany asked seriously after she heard what her mother said.Mrs. Barnes gave her daughter a serious look as she faced her and then she began to speak."The attack that Mondrei did to our camp was part of the war that was going on between our pack and Night Walkers Pack," Mrs. Barnes seriously said."A war?" Lany asked, still wondering."We didn't tell you about that thing on purpose as we want you to live quietly and not think about the threat of the war that was going on. We believed that it wouldn't last long and will end soon. But it turned out that we were wrong," Mrs. Barnes continued."What do you mean? I don't understand you, Mom," Lany said, still wondering and barely understands what her mother was saying."Listen carefully to me, Lany," Mrs. Barnes said seriously as she held the hands of her daughter. "There was a reason why Mondrei attacked our camp. He did it not because he just thought of doing it or he wanted to show
When the rain stopped, Dylan didn't waste more time and immediately took steps to find the herb called Wolf's Tail that would help his brother Jeric recover.Mariano Forest is vast and he doesn’t know where to find it. Fortunately, he knew what that herb looked like.As he began to search for it, he barely felt as if someone was following him. Then he remembered what the guard of the boundary of this forest told him, that there was a Goddess who was guarding the natural resources of this forest. That's why this place is sacred and no one is allowed to enter this forest.They have beliefs that when someone touches something here in the forest, he or she will definitely experience the revenge of the Goddess who is guarding this forest.Even though Ramil told him about it seriously and seemed realistic, he just considered it as bullshit. The truth is, he doesn’t care who the Goddess that's guarding this forest is. He is ready to face and fight him, ad long as he gets what he needs in thi
Dylan fought with the wolves who attacked them and it looks like he was right in what he said earlier, that this fight is not going to be easy and will going to be bloody.The two soldiers of the New Moon Pack who are with him even transformed into their wolf form and gave all their strength to fight the opponents. While he, on the other hand, remained in his form as he could still deal with them using his inherent strength and two daggers that he was holding in both hands.He already killed one and his comrades have also killed one each. But they soon fell and died immediately.He is now all by himself and he has seven more opponents. They temporarily stopped attacking him and surrounded him again."That's right. You still have to respect my ability as one of the strong and valiant warriors of the New Moon Pack!" Dylan said in a hard voice to the wolves surrounding him. "You can't just ignore me. You have to make a strategy."Then he positioned himself in a fighting stance again. It'
Dylan felt as if he was somewhere else. He was in a vast desert and he couldn't see anything but the sand and the sunlight above the sky that was hitting him directly. But he found it strange as he doesn't feel any heat from it.He began walking, although he doesn't know where to go, nor did he know if he could go anywhere in the middle of that desert.He already walked for about an hour, but he didn't seem to be able to leave that place where he was. He quickened his pace but nothing seemed to change in his movement. He seemed to slow down even more instead. He tried to run but the opposite happened. His movements seemed to got to be in slow motion.He just sat down and eventually lay down in the middle of that desert. He was in a place where he seemed to be the only one who was alive. Even that place was already dead. He was all alone there and not once in his life did he dream it to happen as this was his greatest fear in his life. Being left alone, walking in emptiness, and not kn
“Mondrei was controlling Lany and he took her to their camp after what they did to you,” Mr. Jones immediately said.“Why are you still looking for her? Will you still try to defend her despite what she did to you?” Mrs. Jones immediately said who seemed to dislike Jeric's asking questions about Lany.“Yes, Mom,” Jeric replied immediately. He was determined to defend Lany and still protect her at all costs. He knew that everyone would be mad at her as they all believe that she stabbed him even though he was the one who did it to himself. “Because the truth is, she is also just a victim here. Mondrei was just controlling her.”“Do you hear what you're saying, Jeric? What does that omega feed you that you’re acting like that, still trying to protect her?” Mrs. Jones continued in a voice full of disappointment. “Anyway, you can't do anything else. I’ve already assigned soldiers to catch her, including Mondrei.”“Lany is not really at fault here. Mondrei was just controlling her as he has
Lany tried to get away from Mondrei when he suddenly grabbed her hands. She felt annoyed as she didn't ask him to teach her the right position on aiming the target board with an arrow. But he didn't let her get away and tightened his grip on her even more."Don't move too much. How can you score a perfect ten if you keep on moving like that?" Mondrei said as he still insisted on teaching Lany even if she didn't want to."Excuse me! I didn't ask for your help," Lany immediately answered in a hard voice, obviously annoyed by Mondrei's stubbornness and insistence on teaching her. "You just touched me without asking for my permission. That was considered harassment.""Harassment right away? That's too much." Mondrei even smiled as he answered what Lany said to him. "Anyway, I have to teach you until you perfect the techniques on aiming the target. Because if you use that on me one day, I want you to hit me only once and die right away. Because if you want to kill me, I don't want to suffe
