Bound of Destiny with Wolves
Eve

Luella with her two friends had arrived at the water clan settlement. He carried Xavier walking behind him, while Thea was in Xavier's arms. The girl was too weak to walk on her own.

Arriving at that place, they were greeted by the wary gazes of the inhabitants of the water clan settlement. Some people are already prepared with their weapons that can be used at any time.

Xavier's steps turned slow, with a gaze that was no less wary.

“They came with me. Relax, they are harmless.” Luella calmed her watchful people.

“Which clan are they from? Why did you bring a stranger, carelessly enter here?” Asked one of the men who blocked Luella's steps.

“They're good people. They helped me pick up the ave, until he finally got hurt.”

Luella pulled out the ave that she had stored in a bag. The light instantly fluttered and made the glare of the eye that was looking.

The men lowered their weapons when they saw the light and focused on watching the ave that Luella was carrying.

“You got it?”

An old woman looks out of a cottage. He walked with a stick in his right hand. His body had already bent down because of the sepuh. People immediately lowered their heads when they saw the woman. It seemed like he was one of the elders in this clan.

"Eve.." Luella paid her respects to the woman.

“Iya, I got it. And that's thanks to both of them.” Luella looked at Thea and Xavier who were behind her.

The old woman with the name of Eve's match approached Luella and noticed the fruit in Luella's hand. Looking at the response, it seemed to be true that it was the fruit they were looking for.

“Bring this fruit in. Also them.” Said the old woman. He remains wary of Xavier who he thinks is no stranger.

After Luella and her two friends died, the elder looked pensive. He did not expect that Luella would find the fruit. Because, not everyone in the Water Clan could see the rare fruit that was the key to the lives of the people in the Water Clan.

In one of the residences Thea and Xavier are located. Xavier is still faithfully accompanying Thea who has not regained consciousness while Luella is with the old woman. He was explaining what happened to him and Thea.

The woman looked at Thea from within with her eye-catching gaze.

“You're sure he's human?” The woman asked as she looked at the bluish aura within Thea's body.

“Iyaa, I'm sure he's human. Just look at how she dresses. He also had no clan mark on his hands.” Luella clearly felt confident.

“If he is a true human, how can he have a blue aura, not an orange like humans in general? And how can he also give his energy to close your wounds and make you see the ave?” Ask the old lady in succession.

“What? So he can heal my wounds not because of the medicine he made, but because of his inner power?” Luella looked at the elder in disbelief.

“Iya.” Said the woman.

He walks out of his room and checks on Thea. Touching his hands and stomach while closing his eyes.

“She can cure others but others can't just cure her.” Say that woman again. He looked at Thea curiously. He had met some humans but there was nothing like Thea. He could even feel his clear blood flowing all over Thea's body. Blood that is not shared by humans in general.

“Are you sure? Then how do we cure it?” Xavier looked at Eve questioningly.

“Eve, What do you mean? How could they go to the fire clan?” Not only was Xavier shocked, but Luella as well.

“Your ability is still low Luella. You don't even know that this man is the cursed prince of the fire country. And the arrow that wounded this girl, the poison came from the fire clan. He should be able to treat this girl there.” The elder stared at the reddish mark on Xavier's left arm. Although it was not the mark of the Fire Clan, it did recognize the curse mark given by the elders in the fire clan.

"WHAT?!" Luella was really surprised.

Instead of responding to Luella's shock, the elder preferred to approach Xavier and stare at him intently.

“How dare you come here. Don't you know that if you've been freed from your curse, then the clan elders will hunt you down?” The elder placed the tip of his wand on Xavier's right shoulder and pressed it until Xavier bent his knee and was in pain.

“I don't know.” Xavier's voice stammered with pain.

“Stupid!” Decik the woman, the more pressing Xavier's shoulder.

“Klan who managed to hunt you down and get your heart. It was a multifaceted condition for him to become the ruler in the four clans. He could replace your father. Don't you know that?” The woman grinned, showing her neat and sharp rows of teeth with a look that threatened Xavier.

And Xavier just fell silent, his entire strength seemed useless for now.

“Don't Eve, please!” Luella immediately held the elder's wand and threw it away from Xavier.

“He helped me, please don't do anything to Xavier or Thea. If they hadn't helped me, I might have died in the woods. And we will never be able to heal my mother. So, please let them go. I beg.” Luella implored in front of the old woman.

The woman looked at Luella in annoyance. This should be an opportunity to take Xavier down and gain more power. But he realized, if Thea and Xavier did not help Luella, maybe the two precious lives in his clan would just disappear.

“Well, this time I give some of my energy to the girl and will free you as a form of thank you water clan. Go as far as you can, lest we catch you again. Because on other occasions, don't expect me to let you guys go.” Threaten the elder.

“Thank you, Eve.” Limpal Luella who can breathe a sigh of relief, as well as Xavier.

The woman approached Thea, put her hand on Thea's chest and closed her eyes. He tried to drain his inner energy into Thea's body.

A white light seemed to enter Thea's chest and the girl began to sweat. Unfortunately, not only Thea was sweating but also the elder. He seemed to grimace as he felt Thea's body pulling energy from within.

“AKH!” The woman immediately pulled her hand. He fell from his place while trying to pull his hand from Thea's chest.

“Eve! Are you okay?” Luella immediately approached the elder. He helped her to get up and sit down.

“I can't continue. He can take all my power.” Said the elder who immediately got up from beside Thea.

Luella took the elder away without taking her eyes off Thea. It turned out that the body of a human like Thea could unexpectedly attract the might of the strongest elder in the water clan.

“Do not approach the man again. If he managed to obtain the inner power from the water clan family, his strength would return and he could destroy anything like the time he killed his father.” The elder's message to Luella, before he left Luella with the two strangers.

Luella could only peek in place. I don't know what he should do. Maybe it was silent for a moment waiting for Thea to wake up.

Will he tell them both to leave?
