"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 still don't know his capabilities."I'm telling you, I know more than you knew." He stepped forward so I made my defenses up. Diane remained in her position, and she's also ready for what this man can do next. "Although I am not here to fight, I can give you some advice instead."I was confused, but I waited for what he would say."You should always look behind you as your friend isn't always someone you need to trust. They might put a dagger on your skull." I gulped. That's what I exactly experienced, so what he meant is useless to me now. It already happened.After that was his creepy laugh. He looked at the both of us again and turned around to leave until we couldn't see him anymore, he just faded in the woods.I heard Diane gasp so I shifted my attention to her. She's holding her right eye, it seems like she's feeling pain. I went near her to check but she immediately ran away from me."Diane!" I shouted her name then started following her. We found a lake, she went there and quickly washed her face. "What happened?" I asked, concerned about her."Don't ask." I am worried about her, but she doesn't want to share anything with me. I am sure she knew that man earlier. I did not even have the chance to ask his name. But sure, once I see him again, I will not let him leave my sight without knowing who he really is and what's his reason for coming to us.I waited for her to relax and followed her way since she knew it better than me. I don't know how many days it will take for us to reach their base."You're from the Silver wolf pack." I looked at her, it's already morning and she already broke the silence between us. We decided to rest under the tree, she threw a fruit on me and I caught it easily.We are much safer traveling in the dark since we can't stay in one place. Wolves and other dangerous animals were waiting for some prey at night. We can encounter more than what we had last night."Yes." I answered her question. I miss the bond between me and that pack, the time when everything's still fine. However, I don't regret helping her either. I can't ignore the fact that until now, Samantha still has a tiny space in my heart. All of them actually. Even though she did those cruel things to me. I just can't hate her that much. What we experienced together isn't something I can throw away quickly.Maybe this is my destiny. Moreover, I still want to have a home to go back to."I heard that the Alpha was engaged to a soldier female." I smiled. It was a long story ago, a lot has changed. I am not the one he loves anymore. But the story will remain.However, I guess Diane doesn't know that the one she's talking about was actually me."I am busy doing my work and I can't really recall that much about them. I just know the Alpha is strong, and that soldier loves him more than herself." I felt like my words were a weapon to open wounds in my heart that trying its best to heal, I bit my lips to suppress the emotions that can be shown."What's your work then?" She asked while biting the fruit. I looked directly at her eyes and smiled.Rankings isn't the one we're trying to follow in the pack since then. We can be way better than we were born, we just need to prove ourselves. And it started because of my lead. I thought Argus loved the fact that equality began to rule the whole pack. Or maybe, just maybe, that's also the reason why Samantha got my spot. Equality, I did not know then that what I took care of was also the one to break me.I was ordered to lead the soldiers of the pack and lead the battles because of my strength and I am happy to do that too. I want to maintain the peace, but my heroism led me to my own downfall."I am just a lowlife wolf, I managed things on my own." I told her. Not who I am in the pack but who I am right at this moment. I don't want to complicate things anymore."Liar. Your skills aren't something held by a lowlife one." I chuckled, shaking my head. She knew many things but I am certain I can easily fool her, as long there's nothing more to trigger the curiosity."I told you, I managed things on my own. Being alone made me stronger. I can do whatever I want." And I am right, she seemed to believe it right away."What kind of people are there? What does your pack value the most?" I don't know that she's also curious about other packs."Like what I said, equality was the one we value the most." I told her."What did you do they kicked you out? You're a rogue now. Feels like it's peaceful there since they value mighty equality as what you said. Did you kill someone? Stole something? Or turn against their rules?" Her eyes shine brighter than the morning sun while she keeps on learning things.None of them. I just did what I needed to do but was betrayed by someone I truly care about. I smiled recalling the scene in the past."Maybe because I was too weak to fight for what was mine. I can't speak for myself that much. One mistake and I decided to go and free myself." I lied. I can speak, but they did not let me.I stood up, I might spill something I don't want if she continues asking these kinds of questions. I don't want her to know what happened to me. I won't bother anyone from them. It's my personal problem, and it has nothing to do with the Blood Moon pack.I heard her sighed. I saw her standing then carried the basket again."It will take more than 2 days before we reach the pack. Let's move." I took a deep breath before walking. We need to go now. 2 days isn't that long anymore. I will soon see those people.I want to know what kind of people they really are, and if the rumors about them were true.On top of that, I would like to learn more about their skills, having the title of the most powerful and dangerous pack intrigues the hell out of me.Days have passed and we did not get to relax ourselves anymore, even though we were trying to rest one at a time. Diane said we are running out of time, I would like to ask but she did not bother to tell me the whole story. She just said something big was waiting for us. However, they need Sebastian there. In the meantime that I was with her, I realized that she's not that bad, she just really wants to protect Sebastian. I also learned that Sebastian was the only heir, however he is under observation if he has the power and quality of being the next leader.I sometimes think that their pack value rules more than anything. Old wolves were the one to decide if he is qualified to be the next generation Alpha. It's not about their bloodlines but their characteristics to lead. When I get there, I need to be careful about those oldies.One thing still bothers me, and I don't want to ask about it. I just also shook it at the back of my head. I am certain I will also know the answer for that sooner or later."We are near the area. Let's move quickly." What Diane told me gave me shivers. This is it, I am already coming to their base."Stop." Diane stopped me using her hand. I am behind her so she can easily tell me what to do. I am just following her the whole trip."Are we here now?" I asked, curious about the place since I can't see anything here."Yes." She then looked down, we were at a cliff at this moment so I followed what she did.My jaw dropped after seeing the different houses down there, it felt like I was seeing a city in a civilized area.Is this the Blood Moon pack?"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
This is the day that I will start being Sebastian's personal servant, Solana woke me up early to remind me and so that I could prepare early. I got up from the bed and prepared myself. Who would have thought that the brave woman fighting the war then would become a servant in time? As I straightened myself up I laughed out loud at my thought.This is who I am now, that's why I'd rather just accept it than go back to the past that only caused me pain. I missed the memories I had, but it's time to forget those people. After a while, Solana suddenly entered the room. I looked at what she was carrying."What is that?" I asked her. She smiled and handed it to me so I could see it.When I looked at it, it was a white dress, the embroidery design was very beautiful. I even heard Solana's laughter, so I looked at her with surprise. "Manang Theresa is giving it to you, she didn't say who it came from. You should wear it now because she said the clothes I wore before don't suit your complexion
