Finding You, Again
Us 17 - Traitor and Releived

Uncle Rex spilled the coffee in his hand when he heard Abel's statement.

"You're kidding me!" abugn. But Abel shook his head with a smile.

"I'll try to accept if it's Abel's other werewolf pack, but a vampire? I think you're out of your mind believing they'll help with this. They would dance happily if they could freely slaughter a human like Crispin" I said, loudly.

Imagining me having to cooperate with them disgusts me.

In addition to the vampires I used to kill, I also had the chance to meet other vampires in slightly better circumstances - - without the need for any blood to be spattered - , but I will not be able to forget the nausea in my stomach, each time remembering the scent of blood that filled the room where we met.

Ughhhh... And now Abel wants me to repeat it?

"You're wrong about that! Believe it or not, there are some of them who really do not like the frenzy caused by Crispin. But like us, they can no longer stop him, because Crispin's power has developed beyond their shadow" he argued, steadily.

"Don't tell me you're friends with vampires other than werewolves" Faust said, accusing.

"You're Faust's smart, I'm so happy to have you as a grandchild" he said, lightly.

Faust did not feel happy at all, he let out a snort of disdain at Abel's praise.

"And how did you survive, without getting a bite on your neck?" I asked, ignoring the fact that the sharp-mouthed woman was Abel's granddaughter.

It's enough for me if he's human, I don't want to know him any further.

I'm more interested in Abel's explanation of the civilized vampire.

"They are a very modern vampire clan. They created a preying system without having to kill humans"

"What system? Did they drink animal blood? Or they make synthetic blood?" Faust insinuated it with annoyance.

"They would die if they drank the blood of Faust's beasts, and synthetic blood was the most beautiful fantasy they could imagine" he replied patiently.

"They no longer drink blood directly from the neck. Drink it from donors. They pay people to give their blood" The explanation makes me stupefied.

Vampires are not calm creatures when faced with blood. Instincts will take over, driving them crazy. There are no survivors from their hunt.

The only thing that makes humans not extinct despite being their food, because they do not need blood very often. Vampires only need to drink blood once or twice a year.

But because of an addiction to killing that they found pleasurable, they end up slaughtering humans for exercise, not out of necessity.

Therefore Hunter is still actively hunting them until now. But apparently not all, Abel has a lot of surprises behind the folds of his clothes.

"At first it was a little difficult, they had to practice to suppress their killing appetite. But after decades, they have become accustomed now" Abel continued.

"For vampires who haven't been able to resist perfectly, they drink the blood from a glass like wine. But some of those who are experts, will drink enough blood from donors" he added excitedly.

"The vampire clan knows that vampire life is very dependent on humans. They realized that no matter how many humans they slaughtered, the thirst in their heads would never be satisfied. In addition, they are also tired of the life that continues to be an escape. With that system, they no longer needed to run away from the hunter. They could live peacefully in hiding for several centuries"

Abel ended his explanation in a satisfied tone.

Hunter tracks the existence of vampires with a multitude of mysterious corpses and murders. The absence of a corpse certainly hides the existence of vampires perfectly.

"Are you going to make me believe, if there's a human who would willingly give his blood to them?" ask me again with doubt.

"Of course, they pay a hefty price. And again they provide complete facilities so that the donor humans are always healthy" he replied with a smile, while I imagine a line of people lining up to sell their blood like a blood donation center in a hospital.

"They treat humans like farm animals, Grandpa!!" Faust shuddered at Abel's explanation.

"Yemindang, but I think it's better than any other option" Abel kept it slow.

I agree with Faust, it's kind of sad. But with the other option being death, I think the idea for a farm sounds more beautiful.

"So what's after this? We're gonna get together and attack Crispin?" ask Uncle Rex. He quickly accepted the situation, and no longer wanted to discuss the disgusting thing earlier.

"It won't be that easy Rex. We must meet to unite vision and mission. You're not going to go to war with someone you've never met, are you?"

"Yes, I have to believe they won't turn around and break my neck, when I'm nearby" I said sharply.

I still don't like Abel's idea.

"Frankly, well, I've managed to meet some Alpha and they've also agreed to meet and have a discussion with the vampire clan though" Abel said, ignoring the sarcastic tone of my speech.

"They must have gone crazy too" I can't imagine them agreeing, to meet the leader of the vampire clan.

I have a good reason to take revenge and protect Bee, but I don't understand their reasons for agreeing to this.

"Not crazy, but they're desperate, Duke. Their current choice of only 2 is to fight and die in the hunt by Crispin or join to be the bearer of destruction for both races on earth. And like us here, Crispin's idea of world domination sounds like an apocalypse. Of course they would choose to meet with vampires if it reduced the risk of the destruction of the world order" he explained.

"And where exactly are we going to have this meeting and when?" faust asked, his countenance no longer showing a rebellious face, only resigned and tired.

"Blackmoon Pack, belongs to Duke" Abel replied, pointing at me with his hand.

"You're telling me to put Hunter, werewolf from another pack and vampire into the pack?!!" I could no longer hold back, and shouted.

Has he started to get senile due to old age?

"You're crazy Abel, I almost got down on my knees to convince the Elders that Lui could stay in the pack. And now--this?" Uncle Rex was at a loss for words, as it was indeed very impossible.

"It would have been easy if Duke had been an Alpha. They can't resist!" Tangkis Abel with agile.

"I'm not yet an Alpha" I growled, angry.

"Then be an Alpha, you already have Zhena" Abel replied in surprise. "What else is stopping you? We have to move quickly Duke, I don't want Crispin getting stronger"

"It's not as easy as you think!" I lost my patience.

If I can, I want to make Bee into Zhena right now. But....

"I hope you've done the Alpha coronation before next week, I'll schedule that meeting next week. They have all agreed to hold a meeting at Blackmoon" he said as if it would be easy.

"And why Blackmoon? There are still many other places we can use" Uncle Rex tried to propose another path.

"Because Blackmoon is currently the most prosperous pack. Of course they were all eager to see how things were" Abel smiled as he said them.

Did he just make a joke at a time like this?

"It's not funny Abel!!" Uncle Rex is now also angry.

"Didn't you misunderstand? Maybe they don't want to work together, they just want to investigate the circumstances of Blackmoon" Duke said, starting to get suspicious of the other Alpha's intentions.

"No, don't get me wrong. They were already willing to meet before I mentioned Blackmoon. I chose the place. Blackmoon is the pack that has the strongest protection magic among all the current packs" Abel replied seriously.

"And of course I want the safest place to invite Alpha and the leader of the Vampires. If Crispin smelled a little bit of the meeting plan, he would have made plans to derail it. That's why I want maximum protection from their witches" he continued.

Abel's reasoning is very plausible, but not mean-------

'DRTTT'S'

The phone in my pocket vibrated because there was an incoming call. I took it in annoyance. Who called me at a time like this?!

Tita's name is on the screen, what's wrong?

"Yes?"

"Scion, we're under attack!!" tita's panicked voice made my body cold..

Bee...?

"Who.." I couldn't finish the question, because I only heard the noise of something slamming into my ear.

"F!!!!!" my soul with all my might.

"What's wrong?" ask Uncle Rex

"There's an attack on the pack" I replied briefly as I undressed, and left the trousers for politeness.

It will be faster to return to the pack in the form of a wolf. Anyone who attacked the pack would have no desire to see the sun. They attacked at a very precise time, which was when I was absent from the pack.

The word traitor came to the surface of my brain, like a lighthouse.

"El!!' I called out to El who was waiting outside the room.

El ran with a surprised face, seeing me bare-chested.

"We're back with a run, there's an attack on the pack!" my clear.

Without hesitation, El immediately turned out and undressed her. I walked towards the forest, Uncle Rex appeared bare-chested behind me.

"You coming home Uncle?" my many.

"Roan was there, of course I went home" he replied, without looking at me.

He's worried about Roan, which I don't think is necessary. Roan would chew anyone who approached him to pieces.

The three of us entered the forest and transformed, and immediately ran at full speed. I'm not gonna stop for anything.

At full speed, it would take at least less than 20 minutes to arrive at the pack.

\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~

I howled with all my might as soon as I arrived in front of Manor.

And so some goddamn werewolves scattering out of Manor. They were scared to see me coming.

You werewolf scum!!

El and also Uncle Rex who saw it immediately darted chasing them towards the forest.

I snatched the unlucky werewolf that was closest to me, and pounced on it without hesitation.

My fang pierced through the soft back full of feathers easily, my claws stepping on his head to keep him quiet, not moving. His feeble snoring made me stop, I don't want to kill him right now, not before I question him.

From El ''s mind, I saw him pouncing on and knocking out one of the Werewolves who tried to escape earlier, and he quickly started chasing the others

Along the way here, I saw flashes of Roan and Mom's thoughts. They fought fiercely with the werewolves I unfortunately knew.

They're werewolves of Blackmoon, my rough guess is very on target. That fact besides making me angry also makes me happy, because the traitors have come out of hiding.

Two werewolves ran up to me, they were warriors guarding the Manor.

"Tell me!!" I'm still in Alpha mode. I need to hear their thoughts.

Not long ago the stream of memories coming from these two werewolves flowed into my mind. But unfortunately their memories only revolved around when they got a call from Mom to fight.

After that, only the memories of when they were injured, and lost consciousness. They woke up when they heard my howl.

"Pathetic!" el said in my mind. Since we were connected to the mindlink, he also saw the thing I had just seen.

"Roan fainted!!" exclaim El, suddenly.

I can't see Roan's mind anymore, and neither can Mom. F*ck!! What happened to them?

"Uncle Rex, find Roan. I'll see Mom!!" I opened the mindlink channel with Uncle Rex.

"I'm doing it. For Zhena, you don't have to worry. I saw some omega taking him to the hospital. Injured but not dangerous. You go find Lui! Your life depends on the circumstances"

He's right, I couldn't concentrate so much because I was worried about Bee's situation.

At least I know Mom's safe in the hospital.

"Go to the hospital and take care of your wounds!" I looked at the two werewolves, who had bowed before me, regretting their defeat.

"We're fine, Scion" replied one of them stubbornly.

"You go there, or I'll make the pool of blood on your legs bigger!" my hardik.

Blood droplets from their front legs begin to form puddles on the ground, they should be treated immediately. The wounds from the scratches and bites of werewolves suffered by them are quite deep.

With no other choice, they moved slowly towards the hospital.

With my heart pounding I walked into the manor.

Not a single werewolf was seen there. But a blood splash decorated some of its parts. The aroma that was mixed in, made my search even less easy.

The Omega that used to exist in Manor must have been displaced, because it is clear from the circumstances, something extraordinary has happened in Manor. Almost all the furniture was destroyed, sofas and some ornaments of glass crumbled without any shape.

I closed my eyes to concentrate and look for the scent of Bee. After a while I discovered the faint aroma of the coffee and chocolate forest coming from the dining room.

The dining room had also turned into a battlefield. The large dining table, split into two, shards of glass coming from broken windows, was scattered in several places.

The aroma of Bee spread to the side door of Manor. I'm a little relieved, that means Bee got out of this room. And if he comes out that door, I know where he is.

"Els? What did you find?" my question was, after I found Bee's trail, a series of sights that El saw began to look clearly again in my mind.

"Traitor!! and many" he replied with a fury. "You can handle it?"

El did not reply, but his mind showed the sight of some werewolves screeching and getting injured in front of him, I need not doubt El's fighting ability.

"Roan is hurt but he'll be fine! He was just unconscious from losing too much blood. Uncle Rex took her to the hospital just now!" El Report.

"The living drag into prison, and throw away the dead. I want a full report on who initiated this! I'll be in the hospital after this"

I'll see Mom, after confirming Bee's condition.

"Okay, Scion!" el replied, officially.

Well, whoever becomes a traitor who gets caught, won't live much longer. I'll tear his neck myself.

I went to the spare clothes storage area near the dining table, then took off the transformation. Bee's place would not be accessible to werewolves in the form of wolves.

I put on my lightning-fast trousers, then ran out to Bee's hideout.

It was a basement deliberately created to hide a young Alpha family member in case of an attack.

From the outside, the room was nowhere to be seen, as the door was perfectly nudged with a low cliff behind the Manor. But with a touch in the right place, I opened the panel showing a row of numbers, waiting for me to type in a combination.

Only a few people know this combination of rooms. And from the strong smell on the door that brought Bee here was Tita. I'm glad my decision to bring Tita and Id home, was sweet.

I could see the traces of the fight near the door, but the door itself was still intact. The door was made of steel with a thickness of over ten inches, I doubt there werewolves who could forcefully open it.

I pushed the heavy door.

In addition to the musty aroma typical of the basement, I also smelled the clear aroma of Bee, without any scent of blood or anything. An incredible sense of relief surrounded me. He survived unharmed.

I went down the stairs slowly, but I still didn't see it. My gaze traversed every inch of the small room in wonder. I can smell it here strongly.

He's right here!

"Bee?!" call me slowly.

I can't help but smile now. Hiding under the bed will not deter a werewolf from finding you Bee, my mind amusedly.

But I appreciate his intentions. Now what am I supposed to do? It's obvious Bee will come back scared if he sees me. Do I have to call someone here?.

"The Duke? You're that?" The sound of squeaking slowly made me dumbfounded.

Did she just call me? my mind, still not believing.

"Duke?" the second call convinced me, Bee did call me.

I slowly stepped up and knelt next to the bed. I peered down and saw the mound that I was sure contained Bee. She wrapped her whole body in a blanket.

I stood up and shifted the bed with a single breath, so that Bee could more easily get out of the undercarriage. Bee slightly jolted feeling the movement around him.

"Bee? Are you all right?" ask me as slow as possible while kneeling with one of my legs beside him. I have to be careful not to scare her.

Hearing my voice, Bee woke up abruptly and tried to open the winding of the blanket on his body. I am grateful to have gotten rid of the bed, if not, his head will hit the bed hard.

I reached out, to grab the blanket and help her out of the entanglement. But it turns out it's not necessary.

As my hand approached, the blanket slid down on Bee's thigh and revealed a pale face with messy hair. And believe me, Bee still looks beautiful with such circumstances.

My hand stopped awkwardly next to Bee's cheek. His blue eyes looked at me without blinking.

For a few seconds we just looked at each other.

A feeling of relief once again overflowed my heart.

Without me noticing, my hand moved stroking her delicate cheeks. I'm really happy he survived without one less thing.

But then, a tear came down Bee's cheek.

"Don't cry" I whispered automatically, wiping away those tears.

He must have been very scared, to be alone waiting here.

Suddenly Bee hit me hard, she hugged me tightly and started crying. His shoulders shook in rhythm with his sob. I'm torn between joy and anger right now.

Excited that Bee hugged me willingly, and was angry at anyone who had frightened her.

"They.coming.ddan injuring......"

"Stt...." I stopped the stammering explanation, which Bee voiced among her cries.

"Calm down, they're not here anymore. Be calm!! I whispered slowly, to calm him down.

I rubbed his back, hoping it would comfort him.

I miss this Bee!! my mind, while tightening my embrace.

Drifting in comfort and the sound of Bee's heartbeat so close to me. My mind is filled with spring coming sooner.

Warm, while cool and soothing. I haven't felt like this for so long. I really hope time stops, I don't want this hug to end.

But a moment later, Bee's body squeezed in my arms and the sound of her sobbing was no longer heard.

Bee fainted!!

Without wasting time. I carried her body and took her running to the hospital.

Dr. Sidra's carrying Bee's drug supply. Under these circumstances, it would be inappropriate for me to call him here. I'm sure he's busy dealing with injured patients.

Bringing Bee to the hospital is probably a risky act, because it means that his existence will be known to all the pack residents not only the gentry and the Elder.

But fuck the people. I'm tired of hiding all this.

If after this, they no longer want me to be an Alpha, I'll get out of here. I can hunt Egon and Crispin myself later.

---------- *0o0*----------------

Love crashing my feelings without warning, drowning out my other emotions.

The fear that had been gripping, as long as I was under the bed evaporated quickly after I saw the Duke's face. The eyes that looked at me offered a million warmth that seemed to be waiting for me to reach.

The warm touch of her fingers on the cheeks, made me fall asleep and opened up my other channels of feeling.

The feeling that made my entire body suddenly melt, and my stomach was filled with fine tickles. My heart can no longer hold all that.

The overflowing feeling, no longer able to hold back, my tears immediately race to find a way out.

"Don't cry" she whispered softly, wiping away my tears that had fallen.

The fear, the relief, the happiness and the sense of what else I could not recognize, as if racing to find an opportunity to flow out.

I don't care anymore!! I just wanted her to know, I was so relieved and grateful for all the things she did for me, then I hugged her with all the power left in my body.

"They.coming.ddan injuring......" I tried to explain everything that happened, but my tongue and brain couldn't connect perfectly.

"Ssssttt. Calm down" Duke's voice whispered right in my ear as if finding a path straight towards my heart. His voice made my heart beat move regularly.

Slowly, the Duke's hand hugged me tighter and tighter. I felt stupid for accusing him of being a monster when he always treated me gently.

And at that time, the feelings that had been mixed up without me being able to recognize, seemed to melt and form a feeling that was so pleasant and comfortable. I can translate this feeling easily.

I happy....

I am happy to be in this man's arms. The man who never walked away, after all the bad things I did to him.

All I want now is to drown in this sea of warm comfort....

---------- *0o0*----------------

"Give me a bed, and call Dr. Sidra" I called out to the origin, a group of nurses who could only be stunned when I saw me coming while carrying Bee.

Ck.. shouldn't they be busy because many werewolves are injured?

One of them immediately ran while nodding. He led me to one of the rooms and pointed to the empty bed.

The atmosphere of the ER that had been noisy and busy, seemed to be extinguished when I entered. They glanced at me and Bee in turn curiously.

This sucks!!

"Is there another empty room?" ask me about Dr. Sidra who rushed over, when I entered.

Without saying much, dr, Sidra pointed at the room next door. Two nurses pushed the bed containing Bee into the room he had pointed to.

The room contained only 3 beds, and one bed contained Roan who was being accompanied by Uncle Rex next to him.

"How's uncle doing?" I asked, while walking up to him.

"Fine, he's only asleep now, he can already curse so well when he woke up earlier" Uncle Rex smiled slightly.

Very typical of Roan. I stroked the hand that was still wrapped in bandages proudly. "Good job, Roan" I said with satisfaction.

"You're gonna be here, aren't you?" asked Uncle Rex while getting up from his seat.

I nodded, looking towards Bee.

"I have many questions for the traitors" Uncle Rex said furiously. "I'll give you a report if it's all clear" he added.

Uncle Rex then passed by without waiting for my answer.

"I think Ms. Delmora just fell asleep, Scion" says Dr. Sidra turned around and smiled.

"What??" I cried in shock, as I walked closer to Bee's bed back and touched her forehead.

The temperature is normal and the breathing is very regular. She was asleep, I didn't check on her. I just assumed Bee fainted when her body was squeezing.

"Maybe he just felt relieved and finally the whole feeling of fatigue and fatigue attacked, thus making him fall asleep. It's common when someone manages to escape something scary" explains dr. Sidras.

I nodded in understanding and relief. This is certainly better than fainting.

"I have to go back to the ER, Scion" he said goodbye.

"Wait on! Where's Mom?" my visit to the ER was short, but I'm sure he wasn't there.

"Zhena Myra is in the nursery, along with Elder Victor, I will have the nurse escort you there" he replied as he rushed out of the room.

Answer dr. Sidra stupefied me. Did I not hear wrong? Who was she with?

This must be guyonan! I went out of the room and met Dey who was about to get out of the ER, his legs were a little limp, but other than that he looked good.

"Good timing" I said.

I cut her greeting with a wave of my hand. "Can you stand guard in this room for a moment? I have to see my mother's condition" I asked. Maybe I was too polite, because Dey was a little surprised to hear my request

"Of course Scion" he replied as he stuttered. "Don't leave this room before I come".

He nodded and then entered the room

The nurse assigned by dr. Sidra took me to the second floor of the hospital, she stopped in front of one of the inpatient rooms, then left me after bowing in respect.

I tapped softly "Come in!" Mom's voice came from inside.

"Oh..Duke!" he said happily, stretching out his arms as he looked at me.

Without hesitation I welcomed him. I'm glad he wasn't hurt. One of her legs was still wrapped in bandages, but I could smell the medicine from her body. He may have been injured in some parts of his body.

"I'm fine, just a few scratches on my back and chest" she explained, as she looked at my probing gaze.

I'm gonna kill whoever did all this to her. How dare they hurt him!

The slow movement in the corner of the room caught my attention. Elder Victor lay with more severe injuries than Mom, most of his face covered in bandages.

"He saved me" Mom whispered, not wanting him to hear it.

"You're kidding Mom! He hates you!" I said, without trying to lower the volume of my voice.

"You're right boy, I hate him". A heavy and rough voice came from where Elder Victor lay. He turned out.

I'm sorry I didn't mention anything worse about him.

"What a shocking news!" sindirku hard.

Elder Victor chuckled loudly. Dry and bland laughter. Mom held my hand tightly, preventing me from talking any more.

"He was the first one to come to Manor, he saved me from Amon" Mom said, trying not to speak harsh words to him.

"Amon? Amon did all this? Amon's working with Egon?" I cried with anger.

I concluded this because I only saw a traitorous werewolf with a low level. I'm not sure they dare to attack, without the incitement of someone of a higher rank. And as soon as the name Ammon was called, all became clear.

I hope Roan hasn't killed him yet, I want to feel his blood on my hands.

"I suspected him from the start, when I didn't see him at all when the vampire came here to kill your father. The reason he gave me afterwards, it just doesn't make sense. From then on, I watched him closely. And this morning she disappeared the moment you left the pack. I knew he was going to do something" Elder Victor told me as he looked up at the ceiling.

"And you kindly told us after all this happened? Don't you think it's too late now?" I beat with annoyance.

I can't believe he kept all that information, without telling me. Uncle Rex and I racked our brains to find out who betrayed the pack. And he knew the answer all along.

I stopped cursing him, because Mom's hand was squeezing my finger slowly to warn me.

"Because I want to know who the pack members are loyal to him, boy!" he stood up from his sleep and sat on the bed.

"If I had said it right then, they would have disappeared back into the shadows. I'm glad they decided to exert their maximum strength today, now we can easily eradicate the pests in this pack right?" again, with a proud tone.

He certainly felt that he had the upper hand because his plan had succeeded.

Once again Mom squeezed my fingers tight. He knows me so well to know when I'm going to curse.

"I thought you were a traitor!". I think it would be natural if I thought he was the mastermind of all this.

That thought had clearly crossed his mind, let alone seeing his closeness to Amon as well as his words a few days ago. Amon can be an Alpha if I'm not around, he has Alpha blood with a complicated pedigree, just like Roan.

"Your mind is so naive, boy! You shouldn't just believe what you see on the surface" he said, looking at me with one eye still healthy.

"Well. the thing on the surface is very difficult to ignore, because of the strong hatred that emanates from your body" I replied scathingly.

I can do this discussion all day.

"You and your mouth are sharp!!" he was muttering with annoyance now.

"I hate your mother and you, but I also built this pack with my blood and sweat. I would never betray him. Take that, kid!!" end with a snatch.

No longer wanting to hear my answer, he lay face to wall, turning his back on me and Mom.

"Do you want to move into Mom's other room?" ask me out loud.

Mom just shook her head while looking at me in disbelief. He fiercely nodded in disapproval of my words which he surely judged to be very disrespectful.

But I don't care. He hurt Mom's feelings for 25 years!! It took a cut to the face to make me forget what he did.

"I have to go see Bee and finish some other things, Mom" I said in a soft voice now.

"Oh, how's it going? Is he hurt?" ask her with worry.

I shook my head "She was just scared and now asleep, I picked her up in hiding. He's fine" I'm sure.

"Yes, go" he said, calming me down.

I hugged her at a glance, but suddenly Mom patted my back.

"Use some clothes, are you wandering around with that look?" He said while pointing at my body that had been bare-chested.

Oops.......I forgot!!!

It's only fitting that people look at me strangely from now on.
