The cow-eye eggs on my plate, stiffened without any warmth.
I stabbed him lazily, trying to make him look more delicious.
Meat is my favorite breakfast menu of choice, but the state of my stomach is still uncertain, making dr. Sidra forbade eating anything heavy in the morning. I had to settle for eggs and vegetables for breakfast.
In front of me, Oscar also stirred his breakfast with a sour face. It was too early for breakfast because we left before dawn, but Mom didn't let us go, before she put 2 breakfast plates in the car. He even packed practical supplies for El who would drive.
Oscar sneered unhappily "I haven't said goodbye to Lui yet"
"You can call him anytime now"
Although Blackmoon is in the middle of the forest, our signal reception is still good. Dad specially built a transmitter tower around here. At first it was only because Monath campground needed it, but now almost all the residents of the pack also enjoy it.
The modernization was accepted with open arms, especially by Roan. He did not want to go to the city to be able to use his favorite things.
With all that gear, I never thought, if Bee would have needed a phone before. Bee was very different from Roan. He hardly cares about cell phones.
"After all, you won't be allowed to see Bee before she wakes up" I added, to Oscar.
"Allowed? By who? Aren't you the master of the pack?" ask Oscar in a dismissive tone.
"Well, the one who was guarding Bee, had a little more power than me. I don't want to argue with him" I smiled wryly.
This is a fact, I'd rather swallow the spoon in my hand right now, than have to argue with Mom about taking care of Bee. He gave me a murderous look, when I proposed that Oscar go to Bee before he came home.
Mom is against it, because it means Bee will lose sleep.
Mom's obsession with keeping Bee, however, is approaching the unhealthy point of Charlie and Oscar. But perhaps this was also one of Bee's charms, she could always get people around her to fall unconditionally in love with her. Except for his stone-hearted father.
"Why are you blushing?" Oscar looked at me in wonder. My daydreams about Bee turned out to make me blush.
"Nothing!!" quickly answer. There is no need to share such thoughts with him.
"You're really the master of this pack, aren't you?" oscar asked, stabbing the cow's egg in the eye.
He looked at me with narrowed eyes.
"More or less. I haven't had the rapture ceremony, because I don't have Zhena yet"
It will be a long conversation.
Oscar raised an eyebrow asking for clarity, according to what I was expecting.
"Zhena is the partner of Alpha, Alpha's wife. One of the conditions for being an Alpha is to have Zhena, because an Alpha must provide a guarantee to have offspring"
"That kind of rule?" sergeant Oscar.
"Well I can understand. Because an Alpha without a descendant means civil war. It would be bad for the survival pack".
The seizure of a position without direct Alpha blood ties was a disaster. Blackmoon is lucky enough to have a legitimate successor thousands of years ago, either Scion or Damsel.
"But the old man doesn't agree you're with Lui, because she's human" Oscar is still dissatisfied after that long explanation.
"Yes, he is one of the Elders here. He was an Alpha before my grandfather. He no longer had power, but still had some influence in the pack. Usually the important decision Alpha takes, must seek approval to the Elders before doing anything. To prevent Alpha from doing something stupid"
"Grandfather of your great-grandfather ?" Oscar seemed surprised, hearing I had a blood relation with Elder Victor..
I nodded wryly. "Yes, one of the most annoying"
"It's a pity that we can't choose from whom we'll be born, you see for yourself how my father is" Oscar said.
I can only nod. For that I totally agree with him.
"But you're right to leave the pack and the job, if they don't agree with Lui?"
A question I've heard a million times, and I still don't like it until now.
"Yes, I'm going to throw it away. And please don't discuss this anymore" I pleaded with you.
The breakfast that had not gotten much into my stomach, seemed to want to go back up when I thought about it.
"How long are we gonna be, El?" . We returned to our usual camping car for this trip.
"About 2 hours" he answered short.
Perfect---- I still have to answer all Oscar questions for 2 hours. It will please, my inner self with an unlimited level of irony.
"I have a request for you. ah not an order!" Oscar's tone became serious and his eyes looked at me sharply..
I ignored the resentment that had arisen, by his courage to command me and choose to listen.
"I want you to say nothing to Lui about you guys being mate. At least until Lui's feelings are clear. It's clear that he will choose you or not" he said.
I'm pissed off. "I'm not that stupid, by explaining the magic to him. You think Bee's gonna believe it?"
It's only been a few days since Bee found out about an inhumane creature like me. It still takes a little time, for Bee to get used to all of her strangeness. And the matter of mate, is the last thing I want to explain to her.
This mate problem is a little more magical, even for me who used to walk on four legs.
---------- *0o0*----------------
"Myra, are you a werewolf?" my question, without a stale base.
I kept this question last night. It's not that I don't believe Oscar's words. But I just wanted to make sure.
This curiosity even defeated the disappointment of the news brought by Myra, about Oscar had returned to London early this morning.
Myra looked a little surprised, as she did not expect that I would ask about it.
But then he smiled, and shook his head. "It's almost true, I'm a siewolf, I'm a female wolf" she answered correcting the term I mentioned.
"Why? Are you afraid of me?" ask her while looking at me.
I quickly shook my head. "Of course not! You're so kind, I can't possibly be afraid of you" I replied steadily.
After my conversation with Oscar yesterday, I reflected a lot on this matter.
I've been so mean to Duke. He was guilty of lying, but he saved me from those evil werewolves.
I shouldn't scream in fear when I see another form, even if it's creepy.
Myra walked up to me, then sat down next to me. "Who told you? Did Oscar?" tanyakanya.
I'm nodding. "I'm sorry, because I've been so bad about it. I call you guys-monsters" I took a long breath of regret.
"It's okay, you never called me a monster" Myra smiled brightly. He looks happy.
"I know, but I'm so scared of............"
I can't pronounce Duke's name correctly, the pounding of my heart beats my tongue and makes him moody. Not for fear of course.
"I screamed and called it a monster! It's a shame, I've been so bad to her"
I said it quickly, before my courage receded.
"Oh.. Luis. It was so sweet" Myra suddenly hugged me with a big smile.
What was? What makes him so happy?
"I'm sure the Duke will be happy to hear that. But baby, he's off to take your brother to town" he added.
She's happy because I'm not afraid of Duke anymore? Butwhy?
"How about we have breakfast together downstairs today?" myra proposes, while pulling me up.
"Hmmm.. okay" A pretty interesting proposition. And I won't have the heart to resist, Myra looks so happy.
"Good!! For a moment" Myra passed by with a flash of lightning coming out of the room.
What made him suddenly so excited?
I'm a little relieved that Duke isn't around, because I don't know what to behave towards him after all that. I scolded her, yelled at her, and more. To be sure, I've been very disrespectful.
That's shameful!
Especially with the new fact I know, if Duke is the 'ruler' here. I bravely scolded him.
I doubt Myra's guess, if Duke would be happy to hear I'm no longer afraid of her.
I called him a monster! I had to try hard to apologize to her after this. But imagining me talking to Duke already makes me flutter.
My heart is hearing more and more commands from my brain, which tells him to calm down, every time I think of Duke.
I hope it happens just because I feel ashamed of everything I did to her, nothing else!
Myra opened the room door and waved to me "Come on down"
I nodded and got up following Myra who had walked in front of me.
He took me to the dining room located in the western wing of this house. Dining table that enough to accommodate more than 10 people has been neatly arranged in front of the window.
My breath stopped in my throat when I saw who was waiting for us.
The black haired beauty sat there!!
Suddenly I regretted accepting Myra's offer to have breakfast together.
Other than the girl, there were two other people sitting there. It seemed like their married couple were sitting side by side and talking familiarly.
"Id, Tita, I'm glad you guys are willing to come" Myra greeted them with a smile.
He hugged the woman named Tita warmly.
"You don't have to bother yourself like this Zhena, we're on duty" The man called Id by Myra, said with a slight doubtful face.
But Myra flicked her hand, a sign she didn't care.
But why did the man call Myra with Zhena? Is that his family name?
Seeing me not moving, Myra pulled me closer. "Well! Meet this sweet girl named Eluira Delmora"
I can't believe, Myra just introduced me by saying the word sweet girl.
I look like a jellyfish, compared to that black haired girl!! I could feel my face blushing with embarrassment.
But Myra didn't stop "Lui, introduce. This is Roanna Ewaldo, and this is Idonea Magnus and his wife Tita"
I stretched out my slightly shaking hand at the girl, she looked at me closely from head to toe, before receiving my hand. "Hi..!" sweep without spirit.
I can only nod. It's so awkward.
I extended my hand to the couple, who greeted me more warmly.
"It's nice to meet you Ms. Delmora" said.
"My pleasure Mr. Magnus, Mrs. Magnus" I took them in turns.
"Ah. Just call me Id, and my wife Tita, Ms. Delmora" she asked officially.
What?!! They are obviously older than me
"That's a little.." I hesitated to say it, because their faces confirmed they didn't want any rejection.
"Alright, and please call me Lui" I said, trying to reduce the awkwardness.
But their faces now looked doubtful and looked at Myra as if asking for permission.
Myra nodded slowly before they finally agreed to my request. A slightly strange sight in my opinion, do they need permission from Myra just to call me Lui?
Myra didn't give me a chance to think, because now she told me to sit next to Roanna. I don't like this show any more.
Id and Tita sat in front of me, while Myra took her place at the end of the table adjacent to where I was sitting.
Myra chatted lightly with Tita asking about her state, I guess they haven't seen each other in a long time.
"Oh.. Does your area live close to Lui?" ask Myra suddenly.
I was a little surprised because my name called out suddenly, raising my gaze from the plate in surprise.
"Oh, not long ago they were living in London Lui" Myra explained.
"really?" my many.
"Right Miss, we live in Barnet" replied Id.
"Oh, North London. That place is a little far from my house" I explained as I looked at Myra, who now nodded in understanding.
"Auntie, when's Duke coming back?" suddenly Roanna who had been eating in silence, asked while looking at Myra.
Myra looked at Roan with widened eyes, "Tonight Roan, didn't she tell you?". Despite her astonished face, Myra still answered while scooping food into her mouth.
"No!! And that sucks. Though I was eager to meet her, I missed her, auntie" Roanna said, sulking.
And soon the cut of savory cheese in my mouth was like paper.
Right now I have an absurd desire, which is to put a fork in Roanna's hand, which is now right next to my left.
But the choking sound of Myra distracts. Myra coughed violently while holding her chest. I grabbed a glass of water, thrusting it at Myra.
Myra drank it in one breath and finally her cough stopped.
"What do you mean..."
BUUUM..... Brakk!!!
Not yet had Myra finished her question to Roanna, the loud clashing sound made us all jump.
Then out of nowhere, something floated across the middle space, then landed behind Id and Tita with a loud thud.
It's werewolf!!!
The werewolf was in wolf form and was seriously injured. Blood spilled from some parts of his body.
I reflexively opened my mouth to scream at the terrible sight, but Roanna smothered my mouth before I could scream.
"Don't scream!" whispered.
"Your!! Take Lui to the hideout and call the Duke" The firm-pitched voice startled me.
Myra yelled at him. His usual friendly face full of smiles was nowhere to be seen anymore. Myra now looks a little horrible.
"But Zhena.."
"Don't argue!! How dare they disturb the peace of the pack" Myra again yelled cutting off the objections from Tita.
Tita immediately got up and grabbed me standing up. He pulled off the curtain that was attached to the window and slid the curtain at me. I who had been able to see everything in front of me could not say anything, shrieking in surprise.
But before she could protest, Tita had dragged me away from the dining room.
"Rohan!!! destroy them!!!"
I still used to hear Myra's voice sounding like a roar in my ear, before Tita dragged me further and further.
"I'm sorry. I have to hide the identity of the lady. The color of your hair is very striking here and I hope your scent is somewhat disguised by the presence of this curtain"
Tita's apologetic voice sounded muffled, as my head was now closed.
It was only a moment when we stepped up that a screeching sound was heard from Tita.
His hand that was holding me was released. My body immediately slammed because of the hardness of the impulse that hit Tita. The cloth that covered my body was pulled down and I could clearly see what was really going on.
A werewolf with dark brown fur stood in front of us, while Tita fell under the wall while frowning in pain.
The werewolf began to growl while looking at me. I need not doubt what his intentions were, his gaze was extremely savage.
Suddenly I felt sick and angry.
What's my fault that they chase wherever I go? I've left home, and they keep coming here. This reality is exhausting.
"Whatdoyouwant? " snuffled.
"What's my fault that you chase wherever I go?!! " i asked while shouting with anger at the wolf.
I stood up and looked into his eyes fiercely.
The werewolf looked surprised to see me yelling at him. For a moment he looked at me, but then he snorted again until his mouth was pulled back. Her sharp fangs seemed to be impatiently wanting to tear my body apart.
And of course I was afraid, my anger was again defeated by fear
It was then that from the side of another gray-haired wolf with a hint of black on its tail, lunging at him making it throw away from me.
I looked towards where Tita fell, but there was only a pile of clothes. And I got it. The werewolf that helped me was Tita.
I cheered more and more, when one more werewolf came and helped Tita. The werewolf was slightly larger and black on most of its body, which was gray only on its legs.
Werewolf Tita left the fight and walked up to me. Maybe he thinks the newly arrived werewolf doesn't need any help to defeat the evil werewolf that tried to pounce on me earlier.
The Werewolf Tita looked at me for a while, then the magical scene unfolded quickly before me.
Tita's wolf body shrank followed by a noise. The dense fur all over his body disappeared into the pores, slowly his face started to look normal. Then Tita who was like me this morning stood before me, and was naked!!!.
I bowed in shame. My eyes were fixed on the pile of clothes near the wall. I ran to get it and handed it to Tita who had been following me.
"Thank you Miss" he said with a smile, and quickly put his clothes back on.
"Lui!" My correction.
He just nodded and took my hand.
"We have to get away from here" he said as he looked towards the two wolves still attacking each other behind him. I see blood splashing flying now.
They're hurt!
But Tita did not let me look further, she grabbed the curtain that was on the ground and closed my body again.
Tita then took me running at full speed. My breath is a little stingy right now. I think Tita forgot to consider that I'm a human being.
Not long Tita slowed down, then I heard the sound of buttons being pressed in turn. I think he opened something that had an automatic door.
Afterwards I heard the sound of something heavy sliding, and Tita pulled me forward slowly.
Tita led me slowly, for she went down the stairs while pulling off the cloth covering my head.
My eyes were slightly closed due to the glare by the light of the lamp that was right in front of me.
I looked around, and realized we were in a basement. The room was comfortable, complete with a refrigerator and a bed. This room looks like a relaxing room.
I went down the stairs while looking around.
Tita now reached into her pockets nervously when we got to the bottom.
He found his phone, then swore. "**, I forgot we can't get a signal here"
I grabbed Oscar's phone in my pocket, and saw it was in the same state, too, because we were in the basement.
"Sorry Miss Delmora, but I have to contact Scion now. I've got to leave you here for a minute"
"I'll be fine, go and be careful" I replied, without asking again.
Although I was curious what Scion meant, but I didn't want to get in the way of his duties.
Tita nodded "I beg you not to open that door for anyone who knocks on it. The person who picked you up definitely knows the combination for that door" he said.
He looked satisfied to see me nod, then immediately ran up the stairs. He stuck his ear for a moment on the door and then pulled it open and disappeared.
Being here alone tormented me, I was anxious to find out what was happening, but I also realized that getting out of here would only bring disaster. Anyone who attacks us has the power to throw and severely injure werewolves.
Whoever it is, just need to snap his finger to kill me.
But what exactly do they want from me? The anger hit back. I saw how the werewolf was so eager to kill me.
And even more annoying, Oscar won't even explain anything to me. I usually managed to get him to talk before.
But Oscar had prevented it before I could start my usual whining drama
It was his attitude that made me stop. Because it means only one, Oscar didn't say it because he protected me. I recognize the Oscar characteristics for something like this. He won't say anything I don't need to know, even if I insist.
But if I really need to know, even if it hurts me, he won't hesitate to say it.
I used to really dislike this, but after a few times I regretted not believing his judgment, I became used to not asking if Oscar refused my whining.
The sound of a slow thump at the door made me jump in shock. Soon my temperature dropped from fear.
What was that? There was something or someone at the door!
The shadow of the wolf that had been blocking me began to haunt me. This is not a good time to think about Oscar.
I looked at the door and hoped it wouldn't open. I slowly inched backwards while pulling the blanket from the small bed in the corner of the room. A brilliant idea came when I saw the bed.
I lowered my head and checked the room under the bed. Narrow, but it's not a problem for me. Today was the first time I was grateful, because my tiny body made it easier to hide.
I shifted slowly entering the undercarriage after wrapping my body in a blanket.
---------- *0o0*----------------
"You're very punctual like your father" Abel shook my hand warmly when we met.
As promised, we met at an inn for hunters, which was scattered in several places around Quebec. According to El, this hunting inn also belonged to Monath. The facts that do not surprise me.
But there was another surprise waiting for me inside. Uncle Rex was sitting in front of the fireplace, with a cup of coffee in his hand. I didn't know he was going to meet this.
"Uncle.." I said, Uncle Rex stood up and hugged me briefly. "I thought you were going to stick to the girl now, not leave her alone on the pack" she smiled teasingly at me.
I can only smile wryly hearing that. I haven't told her about Bee and me, who are far from familiar at the moment.
Something else is bothering me now. Uncle Rex is not alone.
Someone was standing next to the fireplace. The problem is, I don't smell anything from him. As a result, I cannot guess what kind of creature he really is.
This sucks, I've never experienced this. My nose has never failed before. I wanted to take a deeper breath to look for a little scent from her, but I also didn't want to look too curious.
The girl also looked at me with interest, before finally turning her attention to the cup in her hand, as our eyes met.
The girl was probably the same age as me, her hair was cut very short and neat. She wears tight black pants and a black turtleneck. The aura around him emitted the same thing as Roan.
That is the aura with the warning 'Touch it, and I'll kill you!!'
"Include me, this is Faust. He's a hunter just like me" Abel appeared from behind me and walked up to the girl. I reached out politely, but the girl just looked at him lazily.
"Faustine!!" Abel gave him a little hard reprimand.
His face turned sullen. But finally he reached out even though unwillingly.
What a polite attitude!
"Begging you to forgive him, he is always on guard when he meets a new inhumane" explained Abel, with regretful eyes looking at me.
I nodded in understanding. I would have acted the same if I had never met or heard of Abel. Hunter and inhumane are not the right combination to gather in a fireplace like this.
"And you brought him here because...?" ask Uncle Rex.
"He was one of the hunters who also believed, if Crispin could only be stopped with the help of inhumane" Abel replied as he sat on one of the sofas.
He beckoned all of us to follow him sitting down. The girl immediately, taking her place next to Abel, as if not wanting one of us to sit next to her.
Trust me, it will be the last thing I want. I only need one Roan in my life.
"It is now clear that Crispin is a threat to all creatures, be it human or inhumane. But until now, I had not managed to convince the Hunter Supreme Council to seek help from Inhumane" Abel immediately began the discussion, without wasting any time.
"They were vehemently against my plan. They say hunters cannot rely on inhumane alignments that can change at any time" he continued, with a face that does not like.
"Signature?!? Do they think I'm going to side with my father's killer? They're more stupid than I thought they turned out to be" I said, exasperated.
What a ridiculous opinion!
"Hey.. Watch what you say! They argue like that because dealing with creatures like you never ends well" Faust snapped, glaring fiercely.
"Pff.. !! Miss, your presence here proves that you think the same as me. They don't have enough brains and guts to accept change. No need to defend them blindly!!" I returned while looking at him sharply.
I won't budge on him.
Abel raised his hand, stopped our debate. I threw away my gaze and turned to look at Abel, waiting for further explanation from him.
"I managed to convince a few Hunters like Faust, but that wouldn't be enough. Therefore, I finally decided to carry out another plan. And for his success, I need a little help from you, Duke"
"What?" Uncle Rex responded quickly and was cautious.
As if you know, what Abel said next is not an easy thing.
"I plan to enlist the help of other inhumane creatures, some other pack werewolves and vampire clans" Abel replied in a confident tone.
Vampires?!!
Is he drunk?
I wouldn't be surprised if Abel had drunk a bottle of whiskey before coming here. Unfortunately, I didn't smell a speck of alcohol from him. That means he was very serious when he said we would cooperate with the vampires!!
