Finding You, Again
Again 1 - Blue Light Wings

The night has been rolling for a while, but that doesn't mean the day is coming to an end.

In the field that had been covered by a large tent, hundreds of pairs of eyes were still looking forward excitedly.

They were watching the pronunciation of the promise by Scoin and their future Zhena. The usual events are actually, but the fact that their Zhena is human, is certainly more attention-grabbing than it should be.

But not everyone present in the field was enthusiastic, especially a group of Gentry siewolves who were clustered on the edge of the altar. They feel the opposite.

Some of the girls, stood looking ahead while holding wry smiles.

They were annoyed, because their Scion had finally chosen Zhena.

Not because Zhena was human, but rather because Zhena was not them. For several years, they waited for Scion to return to the pack. But the wait was useless.

Their Scion did indeed come back with a more dazzling figure.

He is more mature and of course more fierce. But they don't mind his bad temper, because he's still handsome and most importantly he's going to be an Alpha.

But now, they had to swallow a bitter pill, when it turned out that Scion preferred the petite girl who was now standing next to him.

In one glance everyone knew, Scion's eyes would never turn away from him. And also Scion's statement, which says he won't back down even if the werewolves oppose his decision, is enough to give a deep picture of what Scion's love for the blonde girl is.

And after the loud pronunciation of the binding promise a few minutes ago, their Scion was no longer on the list of 'Most Wanted Bachelor'.

Their hopes have drowned, as the loud words of the promise that Scion said a few seconds ago.

"With power in my hands, I declare you lawfully married" The old man who presided over the ceremony, exclaimed in a hoarse and heavy voice.

The sound of cheers from the audience filled the air hearing the statement. The couple standing in front of the old man smiled broadly at each other.

The groom grabbed the face of the girl in front of him gently. Their height that was adrift a little far made the girl look up. As if understanding with his predicament, the man grabbed his waist and lifted him off the ground with one hand.

"Duke!!" protest the girl.

His hand automatically removed the bouquet of flowers that he had grasped earlier, switching to hold the sturdy shoulder of the man.

But the man just laughed, then brought his face closer. "I love you Eluira Ignes Delmora" she whispered softly, as she floated a soft kiss on the girl's lips.

The duke only wanted to kiss Lui lightly, but as soon as his lips touched Lui, he knew it was impossible. Because Lui's lips are a sweet opium to her.

Slowly the Duke enjoyed the intoxicating sweetness, which filled his entire five senses. The world around him had been reduced to a meaningless dust grain.

And the Duke was getting happier, because those lips were kissing her softly.

Lui moved her lips involuntarily, as her body immediately closed the flow of common sense to her brain when Duke's lips **********.

No longer felt the winter wind that had hit him. There was only warmth as well as an ever-increasing flame in his body. A small groan escaped from Lui's mouth, which immediately made the Duke stop.

"Don't make that sound right now Bee, or I'll take you away and ignore the coronation after this" he whispered, sticking his head against Lui's forehead.

"You started it!" Lui protested with a small smile.

The world around them slowly began to appear real.

Cheers as well as mischievous screams approached the Duke's ears. Lui's face turned red hearing it all.

Especially when he realized the gaze of all Blackmoon residents was fixed on him, and of course witnessed a hot kiss between himself and the Duke earlier.

Slowly the Duke lowered Lui to the ground.

The only thing Lui wanted right now was to hide. But of course the Duke would not allow it.

The Duke clasped Lui's hand tightly, with no desire to take it off. He waved casually to calm the citizens.

The wide smile on Duke's face, clearly illustrating how his current mood was.

With a steady step the Duke guided Lui down from the altar, and led her to the center of the field.

Soft music immediately indicates the start of the dance. The Duke placed one of his hands on Lui's waist and pulled her closer.

They moved back and forth in rhythm with the music circling around with the sumringah.

The citizens who were under the tent, finally began to contract seeing a cheerful smile on the Duke's face. They involuntarily smiled watching the scene.

Undoubtedly, this was the first time, they saw Scion smiling that wide. And all because of Lui's existence.

Lui's body was indeed tiny when compared to the size of a werewolf, but her existence being the center of the Duke's world, clearly made everyone present know, Lui was not a person who could be ignored just like that.

However with such a face and body shape, anyone would be unlikely to ignore Lui.

Several young werewolves had secretly glanced at him with amazed eyes ever since he appeared on the field.

They had only seen clearly their Zhena figure for a long time, and they had come to understand why Scion had chosen him.

Her beauty was not much different from that of Roanna. Maybe even more, according to some of them. But for sure they really hope the nature is much different from Roan.

Of course all the praise and admiration they are silent in the heart, they do not dare to open their mouths. Just to whisper to each other, talk about it.

The attitude they took was very clever and showed sanity.

It's no secret that their Scion is a jealous werewolf.

Voicing an interest in the future Zhena, it could be inviting their deaths sooner than they should. They all knew it well, and would not test the guts to try it.

They had to keep Duke smiling as he was now.

"Are you happy Mrs. Theobald?" seductive Duke with a mischievous smile.

"I just became Mrs. Theobald was five minutes ago. So I'm not too sure" said Lui not to lose. The Duke laughed loudly at the answer.

"Don't worry, I'll only give you happiness after this Bee" she whispered gently right in Lui's ear.

Whispers are not very useful, because the ears of wolves around them are very sharp. It is very difficult to hide the whisper of love near a pack of werewolves.

But for the sake of manners, they pretended not to hear all those conversations.

After a few minutes, Myra joined Rex, and then Roan and El joined in. They don't usually get along, but it's a special day. A day that could make them forget all the fights, and dance together.

The atmosphere became more fluid after the dance. Everyone enjoys the party with a light heart. Food and drink disappeared from the table quickly.

The dishes are dominated by meat raw materials, adapted to the taste of werewolves of course.

Nora had worked hard for three days to prepare the perfect dish at this feast.

"Congratulations to you both!" Myra kissed Duke's cheek and gave Lui an enthusiastic hug as they stopped dancing.

"Thanks Mom" Duke smiled. "Thanks Myra" Lui answered almost simultaneously.

"Well, there's someone who wants to talk to you!" myra said as she grabbed her phone in Rex's pocket. Myra's dress did not leave a gap to tuck the phone in.

On the phone screen, a face full of tears Charlie filled the screen.

"Charlie! You can't cry on my wedding day!" reprimand Lui.

"I know, but I'm so excited to see you guys together" Charlie said, filled with emotion.

"There's no need to cry like that just because you miss me Charlie, I'll be home soon" Oscar appeared from behind, leaning his face on Lui's shoulder.

Charlie laughed at Oscar. "Of course I miss you brat!" charlie wiped away his tears.

"All right, enjoy your party Lui. And don't forget to pay a visit to London once you have time" With a stern face he spoke to the Duke who had also approached Lui.

"As you wish, My Lady" the Duke lowered his head in exaggerated respect.

"Huh.. . You fucking woo!!" While saying that Charlie disconnects the call.

Lui chuckled small. "She must be very disappointed not to be able to attend this event" Lui said slowly, her heart heavy with guilt.

"That's because you chose to marry an inhumane" Oscar said viciously.

"Stop!! You're going to make Bee sad" the Duke exclaimed softly in annoyance.

Obviously, they will never get along at any time.

"Stop you two!" Lui reprimanded in a slightly loud voice, tired of hearing their quarrel.

"I'm fine, Duke. Don't get lured in by Oscar's words" Lui said, rubbing Duke's face so that the fight doesn't get bigger.

Oscar piqued his lips at the sight. His sister had been completely overpowered by the Duke.

"Dance with me!" oscar said as he reached out to Lui.

The duke looked objected, but Myra had pulled his hand and started to ask him to dance. Having no other choice, Duke follows his mother leaving Lui and Oscar behind.

"That's your husband's possessiveness!" oscar grumbled while pouting.

"Indeed, but I love her" Lui replied steadily.

His feet slowly followed the song.

"Ck. You don't even hesitate when you say that" Oscar sounded disappointed.

"Because I'm so happy right now Oscar. I was so happy, that my heart seemed to swell five times. If it's not because I love her, it means I'm out of my mind"

Lui desperately wanted Oscar to accept his decision with a light heart. He has to work harder for Oscar to get Duke.

"Don't say that" Oscar said. "You're normal, and I really believe that you love her. It's just---- I still don't like you coming into contact with this wild world, Lui" he continued riled up.

"I'll be fine, Oscar. The incident that brought me here was a bit horrible, but nothing bad happened to me afterwards. I think your worries are excessive" Lui explained as she twisted her body once.

"I hope it will continue like that Lu" Oscar said as he exhaled heavily.

Oscar then pulled Lui into his arms.

Lui knew releasing herself into the inhumane world was the toughest decision Oscar had to make.

If possible, Lui would like to take another path. But it was impossible, therefore he could only thank Oscar for accepting his decision. Lui returned Oscar's embrace wholeheartedly, hoping that Oscar would be a little relieved afterwards.

Oscar then took her to a corner and sat her down at the table. They began to talk lightly about Delmor which Lui had long abandoned.

For the Charity Division, the current one in charge is Jovi. After Lui left, the proposals that came in number never reduced, it was sometimes more. Because of this, Oscar finally told Jovi to hire two more people.

According to Oscar, Jovi abused his power a little. Because the two servants who were then hired, were handsome young men.

Lui could only laugh when she heard that. Jovi didn't waste a chance apparently.

Their familiarity, cut off by the greeting of someone behind Lui. "May I dance with you Mrs. Theobald?"

"Oh.. Elder Firmo, of course!" Lui was a little shocked by the invitation, but she did not refuse.

He liked Elder Firmo more than any other Elder, he most often invited him to speak. After apologizing to Oscar, Lui followed Elder Firmo to the dance floor.

Elder Firmo starts the conversation with a congratulatory greeting to Lui, then starts asking her favorite thing, which is life in the human world.

Elder Firmo has never been out of the pack environment in his entire life. And Lui knew, therefore she answered at length all Elder Firmo's questions willingly.

After that continuous dance invitation, Lui's legs started to feel hot and sore. Elder Firmo who noticed it, stopped his steps while apologizing for taking too long to ask Lui to dance.

Lui was a little awkward with that respectful attitude, but it was fortunate that Duke who saw them stop, immediately came over, saving Lui who did not know how to behave.

"You tired?"duke asked as he thrust out a small plate filled with meat pie. Lui accepted it with gratitude, she realized, her stomach was filled with only breakfast bread and eggs.

"No, just a little bit sore" he answered, cutting the small pie to make it easier to eat. Her makeup should not be damaged, because the row of events is still long.

"I'll ask for the event to speed up" Duke said as he looked at Lui's feet anxiously, he could not believe Lui's statement of not getting tired.

"Don't!" prevent Lui, she doesn't want to be a burden just because she's human.

Not yet had Lui explain, Elder Camille's sharp voice sounded aloud beating the sound of music.

"The coronation will begin soon" he said firmly and flatly. Within seconds the atmosphere changed.

The Duke smiled as he muttered in satisfaction "It's time".

In accordance with what they had trained yesterday, once the voice of Elder Camille's cue was heard, Lui immediately moved closer to Roan and Tita.

The two of them, with a quick movement pulled the veil and also the tail of the back of Lui's dress. While Lui pulled a long hairpin that held her hair loop.

Now Lui's appearance had changed to be simpler. Her hair was long almost reaching the waist, with small braids on both sides.

Flower ornaments and diamond-studded flops are still attached to the hair, but a small crown perched on her head is removed by Tita.

From the corner of her eyes, Lui saw Oscar being escorted by several warriors out leaving the place along with the small werewolf children who were still unable to transform

Oscar was allowed to attend the wedding ceremony. But the Alpha enthronement ceremony remains off-limits to him. Because of that some warriors drove him to the car. He will return to Manor and wait for the ceremony to be completed.

Meanwhile, the Omega ran around to clean up the scattered table chairs and leave an empty room in the middle of the tent. The scattered pack citizens began to march back in order, and the Gentry formed a large circle around the changed altar.

The flowers that had adorned the altar, had been replaced with the flames of several torches, as well as a wide expanse of leather carved blackmoon, wolf and crescent emblems.

After all the preparations were done, the Duke brought Lui up back to the top of the altar. The two of them stood upright at the center of the tree stump circle.

Elder Victor appeared from behind them, then stepped forward near where Duke and Lui were standing.

He then began to say some very foreign words.

Lui listened with slowly widened eyes, she understood some of the words she said.

It was an ancient Latin that his mother used to learn. Lui becomes amazed to meet the person who still uses it. Lui could see if it was the mother tongue of the werewolves, as everyone present listened to her reverently.

Duke moved slowly to undress his upper clothes and left his trousers.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lui stared ferociously at the crowd of siewolves who were looking at the Duke with wild eyes.

Lui recognizes him as a horde who stares at him with dislike when Brawl takes place first.

Lui used to not understand why, therefore she let him. But now she knew for sure the reason, and would not let them stare at her husband insolently.

Someone in the mob caught a dislike look from Lui, then gestured to her friends. And finally they all looked polite.

It was better, inner Lui, satisfied.

Next to him the Duke stared straight ahead, while Elder Victor began drawing intricate symbols all over his body with Alpha blood. His index finger moved fast but accurately.

Miraculously, the blood scrapes did not dry up but vanished as if they were seeping into the Duke's skin. Lui looked at all those processes in amazement.

The duke tightened his hands, when he sensed how a warm stream had penetrated his body.

The familiar scent of his father's body enveloped his nose, and immediately threw his mind into the past. The duke tried to prevent the emotions coming, blankly looking ahead.

Not a good time to be overwhelmed, fool! his curse, in the heart, was against the emotions of his soul.

When Elder Victor's painting reached its final point right in the Duke's heart, an invisible burden seemed to befall him, making his body feel heavier. And Duke knows what it is. Alpha's power and also the responsibility that follows it.

"Faxo omnem animam sanguinis mei, dum spiritus semper tueri maxime adpetit"

The Duke uttered it aloud, which more or less meant that he accepted his duty as Alpha and would carry it out with all his soul, until his death came.

Elder Victor nodded in satisfaction and told him to kneel down.

From behind him Elder Firmo appeared while carrying a beautifully engraved box.

An empty bottle as well as a small knife, were removed from the crate.

The Duke nodded in understanding then grabbed the knife. With a single swing, Duke made a scratch on his arm. Lui frowned dislikely, but it was tradition, she couldn't possibly protest.

The Duke's blood started dripping and filled the bottle. And when it was full, El came forward wiping the Duke's wounds with a cloth. It was seen that Duke's wounds had already begun to close. Duke's healing power grew even faster after he received the Alpha's power.

His blood will be kept safe, until later if one of his descendants becomes an Alpha.

Elder Victor took out another object from the wooden box, a jet-black hairy robe and a small bottle of yellowish liquid.

The robe was very ordinary, but it is said that it was made by the first Alpha in the pack, which means that it is thousands of years old.

The robe became a symbol of the uninterrupted Alpha blood on the pack.

While the bottle, containing a potion that will weaken the werewolf poison, preparation for the event of insignia later.

Without talking, Duke immediately downed the contents of the bottle in one breath. It tastes much better than Alva's potion. The potion will last for two hours on his body. To be safe, he had to finish the ceremony before two hours.

Elder Victor then placed the black robe on the Duke, complete with his head covering. Then the Duke stood firm and stepped forward near the altar lip.

The Alpha aura as well as the authority emanating from it made the several werewolves around the altar subdue involuntarily.

"Blackmoon!!" his roar was loud as he raised one of his fists into the air.

And the sound of cheers and applause broke out to welcome his call. The field that had been quiet, rumbling was drowned by the loud screams of excited pack citizens, welcoming their new Alpha.

It's official! Blackmoon has a new Alpha. Eleventh generation Alpha, Duke Pacian Theobald.

After lowering his hand the Duke turned to Lui and gestured for her to close his eyes. The duke was about to transform, he did not want Lui to see that terrifying sight.

But Lui shook her head with a smile. With determination Lui opened her eyes wide. He was once very afraid of the Duke's change in form, but it was foolishness.Therefore he was determined unanimously, today he would see the Duke's change of form boldly.

The Duke did not actually like the decision, but El's move of having removed his robe of greatness left him with no choice. The duke finally summoned his wolf according to the plan.

A magical sight once again occurred before Lui's eyes. Duke's body began to grow dense fur and enlarged. His pants were torn without a fight, when it could no longer accommodate the Duke's body size.

And a flash later, the huge black wolf standing with four legs embodied perfectly on that stage.

Duke signaled for all the pack citizens to transform. And of course it happened, in less than a minute, the whole field had been filled with wolves.

The wolf that was another form of Duke, looked up at the sky and howled long.

"AUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

The atmosphere changed drastically, as all the werewolves began to mute, looking at Duke then lowered their heads obediently. Hnaya there was an excited snorting sound from their mouths, as if waiting for the Duke to give the order.

Lui blinked her eyes slowly at all of that, but she was not afraid. An unusual sight, but he's not afraid, just stunned.

Slowly the Duke approached Lui and bent his legs. As planned, Lui would follow the defile while riding on Duke.

Relying on her previous experience, without any awkward movements, Lui climbed up the Duke's body.

It was a little different because she was wearing a dress, but the design of the dress had been specially made for this event, so Lui did not encounter any difficulties. Gracefully Lui sat down while her dangling dress covered a quarter of the Duke's back width.

The sight, again inviting a silent admiration from the audience.

A union between something very much different, a beast, with a beautiful creature that looks fragile. But from the combination it actually gave birth to a beam of perfection that was never imagined to happen.

Enchanting at once magical.

After feeling the position of Lui comfortable, the Duke got up and started to step away from the tent.

Followed by Roan and El. Then followed Rex and Myra, the Elders as well as the gentry. And the last one is the line of omega.

Arriving outside the Duke's tent jerked his head slowly, and Lui immediately tightened her grip on the Duke's fur. It was a gesture the Duke would start running.

After once again making sure Lui's position was safe, Duke set foot and darted towards the border pack.

The defile will follow the entire border line of the pack, as the real goal is for Alpha to mark the pack region with its scent.

That scent would be a warning to any kind of inhumane to stay away from this region, unless they really wanted to find trouble.

The duke sped up at full speed, leaving the group of pack citizens behind him. The Alpha power that fused with it, made Duke become much faster than the previous one.

Duke who is a descendant of Mate already has more power, now coupled with the power of Alpha, he really became the strongest Alpha Blackmoon ever had.

Behind him two wolves tried to catch up with him with great difficulty. Roan and El. As Beta and Gamma, their strength increases, following Alpha. But they are still no match for Duke on speed.

In his mind Roan was already cursing a short length, annoyed at not being able to catch up with Duke.

El was silent, but his heart was full of pride and happiness, seeing Duke finally grabbing what he wanted. He becomes Alpha Blackmoon and Lui's husband.

"Stop that extravagance of El, you're embarrassing me" Duke said directly in El's mind.

"And you Roan, stop cursing, you know for sure your speed will never surpass mine" he added, mocking.

El did not answer, nor did he obey, for his mind remained full of sincere joy for his friend.

While Roan, instead increase the volume of his curse as if to beat the taste of haru shared by El.

The Duke could only resignedly enjoy the glaring difference that was in his head at this moment.

"Will Lui be okay if you run that fast?" Roan still did not give up trying to make Duke slow down, so that he could win.

"of course! believe me, he had just screamed happily when I jumped high through the narrow abyss earlier" Duke's reply shattered Roan's expectations.

Lui was obviously very enthusiastic.

If he used to be a little afraid when Duke invited him to run, then today all he felt was pure joy without a single speck of worry and fear. The adrenaline pumping in his body reached its maximum limit so he exclaimed with endless joy from earlier.

The new world he had known brought more excitement and sparks of excitement than he had ever felt in his entire life. Making Lui almost forget the grief and sorrow that is always close to his past life.

A new world that will be his life with Duke.

After halfway around the pack, Duke turned sharply westward. He had to do his first job as an Alpha, which was to renew the magic protection pack.

The protective magic on the pack, prevented inhumane, especially magicians, from finding the location of Blackmoon easily. Witches can't just barge in.

For a physical attack by an inhumane other than a mage, the Duke as Alpha, would be able to sense if there were inhumane beings other than pack dwellers trying to enter the pack territory.

Unless their presence has already received permission from Alpha.

Therefore the work of renewing the protective magic is very important. Without it, the intruder can enter freely.

And actually, without a clue from the pack member, usually inhumane from outside the pack will have trouble finding exactly where the pack is.

The presence of vampires who attacked first, of course because there was Egon who guided him.

With galloping steps Duke dashed towards the watchtower, the same tower where he and Lui were staring at the stars a while ago.

Duke stopped his run right in front of the tower and bent his legs low. Lui slid down, she knew only Alpha was allowed into the tower at this time.

Before long, El and Roan appeared behind Duke. "Take him" said Duke.

They just agree without much comment.

The Duke stepped slowly into the tower. Under the stairs leading up, there is a special room that was not visible to Lui because it was dark.

It's not a secret thing because all the pack citizens know. But the room can only be opened by an Alpha.

The duke took off his transformation and approached the stone door under the stairs. The door was more like a stone wall, due to the absence of the handle that became a marker.

But what makes it special is the shallow carvings of the Blackmoon emblem that are there.

The duke pulled a small knife from the niche that was near the door. This was the third time he had injured himself today, and definitely not the last.

Alpha blood, let alone one that had been passed down for thousands of years without being cut off like Duke's, possessed magic power that could not be underestimated. It could be said that blood was the main lead for most of the show tonight.

After slashing his index finger with a knife, Duke traced the sculpture in front of him with blood. Once all the carvings were flattened covered in red, the door shifted open.

Inside was a stone pillar as tall as the Duke's stomach, located at the center of the room.

Around her pitch-black surroundings, several crystal stones of various colors that were the size of an adult's fist, circled the stone's bollard.

On top of the stone pillar, there was also a crystal form that was pure white.

Putting aside the unsymmetrical shape of the crystal, all of the crystals were standing upright at the ends. When viewed carefully, the crystals did not stick to the stone floor, but floated a few inches above the floor.

Duke stepped towards the milestone with a white crystal. And when she was about a meter away, the floor she was on lit up.

A circle with a red color appears with a center on that milestone.

A wide variety of shapes and symbols surrounded all the stone milestones in one large magic circle.

The Duke gasped in surprise, no one told him about this.

But it's no surprise, because the former Alpha - his great-grandfather - who guided the ceremony, loved to surprise him.

The colored crystal stone that was on the floor. Slowly rising, drifting with a buzzing sound. The stones, now in the same high position as the white crystals that were on top of the pillar.

The duke recognized the circle, as a magic circle. Even though he only saw her a few times.

Complex and dense symbols adorn the circle.

The duke did not know how the magic circle could exist here, because the magic circle could only be created by elves or witches.

There is no record of the origin from which this room could exist. It is likely that the note was deliberately destroyed or deliberately not told.

El will be very interested to learn this, but Duke no, he will just do his duty and get out.

The Duke looked at the wound on his finger that was still bleeding. The potion he drank just now was already working.

The potion he drank earlier, in addition to suppressing the poison also made his healing power slow down.

But it was good, he no longer needed to injure his hand. The Duke squeezed the wound, dripping a speck of blood on the surface of the white crystal.

The Duke's blood did not splash on top of the crystal that was supposed to be solid, but it penetrated into the crystal which immediately changed its color to blood red.

Simultaneously, the magic circle lit up increasingly brighter.

A second later, a new crystal formed next to the yellowish-colored crystal. The new crystal was dark green.

A new understanding entered Duke's brain, the new crystal was a symbol of his blood power.

The total number of crystals was eleven now. Each crystal symbolizes one Alpha ruler at Blackmoon.

The Duke looked at the yellow-colored crystal for a moment. It was no mistake that the crystal belonged to his father. His instincts knew it.

At the next breath, the party of the luminescent magic light had ended. The red circle disappeared, and the crystal stone in the middle of the room was again pure white.

The room turned dark and normal again.All the floating crystals, had returned to their original position.

Duke blinked slowly, his task was done.

He then went out and re-transformed. The Duke had to surround the rest of the pack he had not touched with Lui.

-----------0O0----------------------------------0O0----------------------------------------

The duke stopped his run in the center of the city in front of the bronze statue of a wolf. The place that is at the heart of pack life, this is the final location of the defile.

Usually the defile will end up on the cliffs of Moonrock which are the highest cliffs in the pack.

But since Lui was a human, by the coercion of Myra, the Elders were finally willing to change the place where the end of the defile became closer to the settlement.

The duke stood still and howled to the sky, his voice echoing throughout the entire forest.

The Inhumane outside the pack may move away if they hear the howl, as it means challenge and intimidation.

Less than a minute and two wolves followed Duke. And before long the gentry troupe and also the residents of the pack had filled along the thin snow-covered field roads.

The duke lowered his body, giving Lui a chance to descend. Then the two of them stood quietly in front of the statue.

Duke stepped a little forward and opened the mindlink groove to the rest of the pack.

"Today I'm so excited that I'm finally able to fulfill my promise to Dad to become an Alpha at Blackmoon. I promise to act justly and protect the entire pack together with Eldred Halcynon and Roanna Ewaldo"

"After this we will face a considerable battle challenge, once again I will ask for your help to win it"

The call was greeted with a simple howl from the warrior and also the gentry, who seemed impatient to go to war right now.

The wild atmosphere symbolized by their current form, made them drift away in the wild nature of werewolves.

The duke barked loudly stopping the irregular speech, and began to speak again.

"And one more thing, I want to thank you, because you received with open arms my choice of Zhena" 

The duke turned his head towards Lui who was now slightly paled, in suspense. He did not hear the conversation that was going on in the Duke's head, but Lui knew for sure they were discussing him. The werewolf crowd in front of him, was now looking at him.

Duke was relieved, as the warm sense of understanding coming from the citizens flowed into his mind, and also the awkward feeling because usually Alpha never shared feelings this strong on the citizens of the pack.

The awkwardness was a warning for Duke to decide the mindlink even though he actually still wanted to talk longer. But he should not get swept up in feelings or would make them all confused.

A pure white wolf came forward towards the Duke, then lowered his head. And the Duke put his forehead on that white hairy forehead.

"I'm so proud and happy to see you as an Alpha. Now it's your turn and Lui's to live this challenging life" Myra said, with a proud, happy mind.

"I understand Mom, I will carry out my duties according to what father has taught me" the Duke promised with determination.

"I wish Lui could hear my words" Myra said as she shifted in front of Lui.

"Don't worry, I'll deliver your message intact" Duke said.

Myra chuckled softly, "No need to bother, I will deliver it myself later" Myra said as she bowed her head low before Lui.

At this time, Lui was supposed to stick one of her hands to Myra's forehead, as a symbol of the switch of Zhena's title, but Lui instead went forward and stuck her forehead on Myra's wolf forehead, then hugged her tightly.

Lui did not care how the Elder behind reacted, she just wanted Myra to know how she doted on him.

Their meeting was only a short while, but the affection Myra gave her, as if closing the hole caused by her mother's death a few years ago.

"I love you Myra" whispered Lui filled with emotion and held back tears.

His hands hugged almost the entire head of Myra.

"I love you too, sweetie" Myra replied, wholeheartedly, even though Lui could not hear it.

Therefore Myra gave a gentle header on Lui's cheek as a gesture. Lui smiled brightly, understanding precisely Myra's intention despite being expressed without a word.

Myra retreated and sat neatly together with the other pack citizens. After this, according to tradition, Myra as well as Rex Ewaldo will enter the ranks of the Elder, along with Elder Victor and the others. The Duke could imagine how 'fun' the atmosphere would be when the next Elder meeting occurred.

The touch of Elder Camille's head made Duke growl. No need to remind him! inner Duke with annoyance.

The duke walked around Lui standing still in the snow, like a beautiful ballerina statue stranded in the wild.

"I'm ready!" whispered Lui with quivering lips, gathering determination.

After the Duke position closed his body perfectly, Lui slowly lowered the zipper on the back of her dress, to half.

After which, she shifted down the right part of the dress, so that her right shoulder and a small part of her chest were perfectly exposed. Lui slightly shivered as the cold air directly hit her skin.

"Hurry now!! Are you gonna let it freeze?" Roan exasperatedly replied, because the Duke was instead quietly fascinated, seeing the sincerity of Lui's normally hidden skin.

While El tried hard to divert the scene from his mind, by starting to read the book of sutras memorized in Indian.

"Shut Up!!' hardik Duke tells Roan, but Roan's powerful remarks bring him back from inappropriate daydreams.

The duke gently touched his muzzle on that shoulder, and soon Lui's intoxicating scent seized his mind again.

With great difficulty the Duke turned his eyes and looked at Lui's eyes, asking for permission to scratch her. Lui smiled slightly and nodded, a sign that she was fine.

Duke opened his mouth slightly, slashing his gums with his lower fangs. And then quickly scratched the thin pale shoulder of Lui with one fang. A slightly difficult job, given the large size of her fangs, when compared to Lui's petite shoulders. But the Duke succeeded.

The striking red color flowed down, forming a long line and finally ending at the end of Lui's white dress.

The red-colored stain on the white dress widened even more, as the Duke buried the tip of his fangs making sure his blood entered Lui's body, as it should.

Lui gasped slightly, but recovered quickly. While looking at Duke, he smiled slightly

"Absolutely not bad Duke, your worries are excessive" Lui murmured, tidying up the blood-stained dress.

The Duke smiled seeing Lui recover quickly. Her mother was right, Lui was not a weak girl, she accepted the pain easily.

A moment later, Lui's eyes suddenly widened. A strange chill spread throughout his body.

Cold froze, enveloping his entire body and slowly turning off the light in his eyes.

"Bee!!" the Duke shrieked in his mind, as all he saw was how Lui's body had slumped on the ground all of a sudden.

Has the potion's one hour period been exhausted? Did the werewolf poison hurt Bee? Duke was full of anxiety. Myra who was looking from the Duke's mind ran over.

But then his steps came to a halt, stunned to see a faint blue light gleaming out from Lui's body.

The duke who was also shocked, retreated a few steps away from Lui's body.

The blue light was slightly more concentrated than ordinary light. Like a thin mist but glowing blue. That strange fog of light now enveloped Lui's body, and in a slow motion lifted the body into the air.

The horror scene left the entire pack residents gasping, as Lui was now hovering about two meters above the ground.

His long hair fluttered and his eyes closed, but his hands and feet were in a reasonable position, invisible if he was fainting.

Even though they were all inhumane, the sight still made them horrified and confused.

Slowly and surely, the blue light began to gather behind Lui. The fog extended and glowed on both sides of Lui's body, making Lui as if she had giant wings that were currently making her float.

And just like the moment of appearance, the fog suddenly seemed to be sucked into Lui's body and disappeared. The body that floated in that air, plunged freely into the ground.

"Bee!!"

The duke swiftly pounced on Lui's body with his front legs, then rolled on the ground, preventing the body from slamming down in a crushing manner.

The Duke slowly laid Lui's body in the snow. Lui was completely unharmed, and there was no more light or strange glow, just the body of Lui as usual.

"What's going on?" Roan asked in a confused tone.

But of course no one can answer it. But the Duke knew for sure, the werewolf poison did not have such an effect. He can remove it from the list.

The duke examined Lui's state more closely and realized something.

Lui's breathing was very slow, Lui's heartbeat heard in her ears was very slow, and also Lui's body temperature was cold, in contrast to her usual state when she fainted . Usually Lui will have a fever.

It just means one-----

"No!!. it should not be" roared the Duke desperately. The howls of wolves full of grief, splitting the night air.

"Oh no!!!" El exclaimed in panic, recognizing the sorrow that gripped the Duke's mind.

Without much thought, El immediately entered one of the houses nearby.

Myra and Roan shrieked softly feeling the overwhelming attack of grief from the Duke's mind. They closed their eyes while moving irregularly, as the pain invaded without any warning.

But a minute later, the pain disappeared.

Apparently Duke has unleashed his transformation. He understood that his pain would also bring tears to them. The duke knelt on his back to them facing Lui's silent body.

Three seconds later, El, wearing only trousers, slipped the wide robe he had taken, onto the Duke's naked body. The body that had now trembled violently with sadness.

"He-she-...." The duke tried to hold back the emotions with all his might, but he still could not make a normal voice.

"I know, I know Duke" muttered El, grimly.

She knew for sure Lui's state, because El had seen her for over a year.

Lui's current state is the same as her state when she was in a coma. Exact same!!
