"Let's go." Diane walked outside the hut but I didn't follow.
I was skeptical about moving. I can't find my diary. I don't know where it was. I am certain Sebastian won't bother taking such a thing like that but it's still important for me. I can't leave without it."Hey! Time is running out!" Diane shouted from outside. I closed my eyes. Sweat was all over my body, my hands were shaking. Should I just leave those memories here?I did not respond to her and continued looking for my thing."What is it?" Sebastian asked. He's frowning, wondering what I need in his small hut."I lost my diary. I can't find it." I told him."Forget it. You need to leave now." I was stunned when I heard what he said. That's the only thing I have, that's why I can't bear to lose that too. I looked at him and shook my head, then continued searching. The coat and the box containing the food that seemed to have been wiped are still here, but the diary is gone. I sat on the floor and sighed, it seemed that I was running out of hope. "I will give it back once I find it here."I looked up when I heard what he said, having a small hope I stood up from the floor. Maybe it's better for him to search because he knows every corner of this place better than me. I nodded my head. I also wiped the clothes I was wearing that were soiled from the non-stop search. I looked at the door when I heard footsteps, I was sure it was Diane who had been waiting for a while.I shifted my gaze to Sebastian who was just watching my every move. I intently looked at him, begging. "Promise me you won't open it." I only wanted one person to read the content inside that diary. But this time, I just had to bury him in oblivion. I thought it might be better if the diary was gone, but I wanted to make sure first that no one else could read it.I just smiled and breathed a sigh of relief when he nodded. I know he won't let me down, because he won't benefit from the contents of that diary either. He will just find someone's story cringe to deal with."Diane is waiting for you outside. You have to leave before sunrise." I looked at him, I still haven't been able to thank him for all that he did to me."Thank you very much. I didn't expect your help. You don't even have to let me stay in the place you keep safe the most because we don't know each other well yet. I can just find another place to stay." I told him.His facial expression seemed to change for a few seconds after hearing what I said. I saw a bit of surprise but it faded right away. I was just confused when he turned his back to me."Leave now." That was the last thing he said. Wait, did he get angry because he thought I didn't like the place where he came from? And I don't want to associate with people like him? Maybe not and I'm just thinking too much.I prepared myself, wore the coat Rose gave me. I was wondering what happened to them, I knew Levi won't let anything bad happen to her. I trust him, he is quiet but his loyalty was always with her. I just really hope they are safe and sound, besides Rose is still Argus' sister. Samantha can't hurt her.When I went outside, I saw Diane frowning, tired of waiting for me. She glared at me once she saw me ready. "I thought I needed to wait my whole life." She said, sarcastically. I just smiled apologetically at her.I followed her every step. I didn't see Sebastian anymore. He knew we were leaving and did not say goodbye nor see us off. I guess I'm seeing him again soon.I could not imagine that I would be with Diane for days of traveling until we reached their base. Perhaps, I don't want to go fast since I am still not ready to face those people inside their pack. Blood Moon pack was known as the dangerous and powerful pack alive, but they remained quiet for a long time. And no one dares to challenge them either. I can't believe I had the chance to meet Sebastian, who I think happens to be one of the heirs and now Diane who's leading me right from that place.I heard many bad things about the Blood Moon pack but there is no concrete evidence that it's true. I am not fond of believing rumors, so I might see it for myself.Diane was holding the basket she was carrying earlier. It contains our food for the trip.I was just following her until she stopped. "Wait." She told me to stay where I was standing. "I can smell something in here." She continues sniffing something in the area. I frown, I can't smell anything."What is it?" I asked. I can only see trees here since we are still in the mountains. The fresh air and different kind of animals roaming around was all I could smell."It's blood." Blood? I tried my best but I really can't find what she's talking about."What blood?" I was curious. She was so serious, touching every branch and leaves of trees around us."The heck?" She mumbled.I was about to ask again when I felt something coming to us, I could hear the wind getting fast in our direction. I maneuvered my body into the other side to avoid that thing. Diane immediately went beside me."Who's that?" She asked, looking around.A tree got hit by a bloody arrow. Now I could smell the blood in the place. Diane has a high sense of smell."I think it's an ambush. Be ready." I told her. I already encountered rogues in different places when I was away from my former pack, and I know that this will be an ambush for us.She nodded her head while still looking nonstop in the area. Any moment from now we can be attacked by many wolves. We need to prepare ourselves."How many?" She asked me. I concentrated, I still can't find the right number. I need them to move, that's when I can calculate.I closed my eyes to feel everyone around us, those moves, jumps over the trees, and even the way they breathe. "There are 21 on the left side, 13 on the right." We changed positions. I am going to wait on the left side."You think you can fight?" She asked me.I smiled even though she couldn't see it since our backs were facing each other. "I was born to fight."After saying those words, arrows started attacking our spot again and this time, they were on fire. These people want us dead.2 people went down the trees and attacked me. I immediately turned them down. They still lack the skills to fight and yet have the courage to do this kind of thing, they aren't sure what comes after death.The attack continued and while I was dealing with them and the arrows that kept on targeting us, I checked Diane and her fighting skills were admirable. No wonder she's from the Blood Moon pack. No one of us changed our form yet, I can do this all day without doing so. I felt like I haven't fought for a long time. I was so fed up with the emotions I felt recently.I saw a burning arrow coming to Diane's head and she's not aware of it since she's busy handling those other rogues so I come to her aid. I took my defenses up and shifted the air so the arrow went back to its sender. And there two of them fell from the tree. I just killed two birds in one stone.If we're not wolves. I can tell we will be immediately killed by them. Humans can't clearly see in the dark but we can, hundreds of times better of what they can see.Diane was shocked but I smiled at her. Her sense of smell is powerful and I admire her for that, but she still needs to improve her sense of danger. It can manipulate her when the time comes.The fight did not last for long and we quickly ended it. Others started changing their form but it didn't scare the one in me. I was known to be the bravest wolf alive in the Silver wolf pack and I will never be ashamed of telling the next generation that I was in wars."These little shits really tried their best," Diane exclaimed while holding one of the heads. Blood dripped down her arms, her nose kept on moving. I think the smell of it makes her senses sensitive."They are rogues, they hunt to survive," I said. I am just thankful insanity isn't kicking yet to me and that I still have self control or else I will be like them. I am afraid I will lose my mind soon."Not all."Diane and I both turned around once we heard someone speak.Diane stepped backwards when she saw the person so I got confused.It was a man. And scar was all over his face. He is not that tall but his body was built fine and strong."Y-you…" Diane's eyes were like a dagger, she's looking intently at this man. However, she seems nervous. I kept my mind focused on him, I won't let him do something inappropriate especially to her.He grinned, and it was so creepy. "We met again, my little fox."Something was wrong, who is he?"Who are you?" I asked. I can feel something strange about him, I am certain he is not just an ordinary man.His gaze shifted at me and grinned as he saw my face."I am not expecting to see the cat who got lost in this area." I frowned. Is he pertaining to me? What's the meaning of his words then?"I am asking you, who are you and what do you need?" My patience got shorter, especially when he smirked."You don't know me but I know a lot about you, and this little fox." He looked at Diane meaningfully. "I did not know Blood Moon pack would give way to a rogue like you. It's a shame, the Silver wolf pack just gave up on someone brave and respects equality, it's their loss. Don't you want revenge?" My eyes widened. How did he know about what happened to me? He is not part of us, the news isn't that fast to grow either since we are far away from others. "How did you know that?" I asked, pointing my dagger at him.He laughed, as if trying to piss me. However, I need to remain calm. I stil
"Blood Moon pack." I mumbled after seeing their base."Except for the members, you are the only one who knows this place." She's pertaining to where we are standing. "We can see the whole area right here," I guess she's saying that I need to shut my mouth and never leak what she trusted in me.I smiled. "My eyes are open but my mouth will stay closed." She then looked at me again with those eyes, like the first time we met. "This is the fastest route. I just could no longer wait to see my home. Don't ever think I trust you now." I nodded my head. I know what she meant after all since I, too, need to be careful of what I am trying to do. "Follow me." After saying those words, she didn't hesitate to jump off the cliff. I was shocked for a moment but when I heard her calling me, I looked down and saw her standing in a hanging stone.So this is what it takes to reach their base. They were really trying to keep the pack safe. Just by moving to their pack, it could take your own life. You
I left the room after washing my clothes, trying to look for Manang Theresa. She told me to rest but I can't do it in this place. I will feel like a prisoner if I do.The small table in the center with different kinds of foods was the first thing I saw. I am not that hungry but the way they made these can make me salivate. However, I still have someone to look for.I shifted my way and went to the door I don't know where I am leading to and opened it just to find a garden full of flowers, but I won't dare to touch any of them, they could poison me."Who are you?" A soft voice asked me. I flinched when I heard it behind me so I turned around, looking at the girl who's wearing very simple but long clothes with a lot of dirt on it. She looks so innocent, her face is small but she has big eyes. Her hair is still silky even though it was messy. I smiled at her. "Hi. I am Analisse, I will be the new servant here. I am looking for Manang Theresa." I think she didn't want to trust me at firs
Solana gazed at me right away after she apprehend what was being said to her. She bit her lips, nervous of the outcome she might face because of Diane.I wonder what she needs from her this time and the one who called Solana was in horror. I smiled at Solana a little. Maybe this is the chance to see the outside. "I will go with you." I told her, and once she heard that her eyes sparkled. It made her less nervous since she will have company.She agreed immediately and we both made our way to the house where Diane was staying.It's not that far from the servants' house since they really need to be here quickly once they are called. I raised my head as I stared at this big house, the entrance has engraved letters on it so I stare at it. Moon Subdue Palace, so that is how this place is called. The outside really has a strong foundation, no wonder royalties live here. Solana's eyes and I met as she nodded at me, telling me that we can go inside now. I followed her until we reached the bi
Not only Diane was found standing behind me, there's also Solana who doesn't know how she will react at this very moment."How dare you!" Diane's voice echoed inside the house, her speed was unrecognizable as she went in front of that lady who's shaking right now. The last thing I knew, she's already holding and gripping her neck tightly. Was she trying to kill her?"Please, Lady Diane. Let her go!" The old lady pleaded, crying out loud but Diane's pity was out of reach.She can't speak anymore, her face became pale while her hands slowly drifted down the gemstone."Die!" She was ready to break her neck when I held her shoulders, trying to stop her from doing so."Diane." I called her. She stopped for a moment and looked at me, her eyes were raging with anger."Did I tell you to mind the business here? Don't act like you're needed here." I nodded my head, slowly and sighed."I am not. But please let her go and explain." After hearing that from me, all she did was smirk. "There's noth
I woke up because someone tapped my cheek, I slowly opened my eyes to see who that person was."Analisse, are you awake yet?" I heard a soft question. When I opened my eyes, I was exposed to the light from the sun's rays. Where am I? I slowly stood up, holding my head when I felt a pain in it. While closing my eyes, the events that happened last night seem to come back to me little by little, are they really? I asked myself. I looked at the person who woke me up, I saw Solana looking worried, what happened? After I lost consciousness, I don't know what happened next. I looked around and saw that I was already at the servants' house, who brought me here? "Are you okay? Do you need anything?" Solana asked me worriedly. I looked at her and smiled, I just shook my head to ease her worry. "What happened?" I asked her. She sighed and sat next to me. "Some people found you unconscious at the entrance of the forest when they were back from a hunt, they didn't know you so they thought y
Rumors started around the moment Sebastian decided who he wanted to be his personal servant. I can't escape their judgemental stares, especially the ladies who I think are already killing me with their gaze."Who is she? Why is she here? Could she be a spy?" I just sighed to the side and shook my head. I didn't expect that it would be this difficult for me even with the low role in a pack."But we don't know her well yet, we don't know where she came from. It won't do the prince any good if she stays by his side." One of them said, I just ignored it because I know myself better than these people. I just hope for this to end. I saw the Alpha's smile that's why I couldn't figure out what he wanted to convey. However, it looks like no one here knows me."Are you sure of your choice?" The Alpha asked Sebastian. He just nodded, but no emotion could be read on his face. What was he thinking? If he wants to make fun of me and trip me up in exchange for helping me then, I will not allow myse
"What did you just say?! How dare you!" She was about to slap her when Diane grabbed her hands fast."Do you need me to repeat it?" She asked her, cold but dangerous. I would like to see this Diane more in this kind of situation, instead of her playing games with servants which have no match to her. Feroah pushed Diane's hand away, she even shook her hand and looked at it as if she was disgusted. "You are so arrogant now, you seem to have forgotten where you came from?" Feroah asked with a hint of insult. As far as I know Diane was adopted by the Alpha but I don't know what the story is other than that. I looked at Diane and noticed that her hand was clenched. She's ready to attack now. "Oh what? Did you remember?" Feroah asked her fiercely, little by little Diane's face changed into a silly smile that's why I held her hand to stop her from doing something that would get everyone's attention. "Get lost." I told her. "Maybe it's even better for you two to be together, you are both
