The next day, I was awakened by the sound of a howl. When I went to check, it was coming from the wolf from yesterday."Why are you howling of a sudden? They'll find you if you keep doing that," I said with a yawn. "I guess you feel better now huh?"Then as I went to stand up, the wolf suddenly moved and I felt my body pushed down to the ground. Its face, although not friendly nor hostile, was full of curiosity as it just stared at me. "I'm a bit similar to you so there is no need to attack me," I told the wolf. Then I smiled unconsciously, my hand moving up as I began to pat its head like I always did with Lagand. "I'm glad you're okay. Do you feel hungry?"For a minute, the wolf looked horrified at my sudden action, probably due to the physical contact. I immediately retracted my hand and got up from the ground and began to pull out some food from my bag."Here," I offered, my hand open with the food on it. In the werewolf language, an open

The sun looked down and the wind became humid. Ajax moved closer as he looked at me with a pair of serious, blue eyes."Follow me." Waking up from my surprise and fear mixing in to freeze me on the spot, I slowly moved my hands and pushed Ajax away from me. I looked around, trying to calm my nerves down, only to have my heart dropped the second my eyes caught sight of something...There were about twenty or more wolves present. On the trees, behind the bushes, on the grass... And in a distance away, there was Lagand. Then there was Lena and the rest... All of them were knocked unconscious and unmoving. I felt my body began to tremble as I muttered under my breath, "Let them go..." I couldn't help but feel my fisted hands trembled vehemently as I shot Ajax a glare when he didn't answer nor moved. "I said let them go, you monster!" "You..." Ren exclaimed looking at me with so much anger and was about to attack me when Z

We both turned our heads immediately at the voice, finding an unexpected guest standing on the doorway of the highest floor of the tower. "E-Elder Zarah..." Looking away, I slowly let go of the servant. If there was another person aside from Ajax and the servants who always come and go in this tower, it was Elder Zarah. "You can go," Elder Zarah said as I felt the servant gave me a look before leaving through the door. "Claire," she called and gestured to sit in front of her on a table. For the past weeks, Elder Zarah had been trying her best to talk about Ajax, her beloved grandson, and the Moon Goddess. On and on she wanted me to understand fate, of all things, and everything related to it. And by all means, my heart refused to understand even a single bit of those things. If there was one word I hated the most, it was that―fate. "I heard you asking about marks and the ways to erase them. And here I thou

My eyes widened, horrified as I looked at Ajax. "No, stop him! Don't let her go!"  All eyes came to me as in an instant, Ren appeared and caught me, bringing me to Ajax immediately. Trembling, I almost kneeled to Ajax as I begged, "Stop him! Don't let Ether go!" Were they really planning to give her to the enemies? Why? Why would they do that? Ajax ignored me, much to my disappointment, as I turned to look and saw Ether being dragged to the center.  The Crown Prince, the royal blooded human, was silent for some time before he finally spoke. "And what of this person?" Ajax replied, "She will speak the truth to everyone." Murmurs began to rise and I held my breath, only staring at Ether who was standing at the center, face expressionless.  I wasn't sure if it was just me or I noticed Ether glanced at something from the crowd before she finally opened he
