The Secret Of Werewolf
Chapter 2: The True Self

one day before -

- Frost\ City, night\, cloudy

There was a young man in a black robe suit, walking around as usual, on a quiet night in a large urban area.

None other than he is Stephen, walking alone in the middle of a big city with a purpose known only to himself.

The atmosphere of the night is not crowded, only seen people who occasionally pass by, not usually like this.

Stephen walked quietly while watching around, this calm atmosphere made him able to relax, a feeling he wanted to always feel.

His presence in a big city like this with a closed appearance should have made him suspected by the security forces, but somehow the story is that he can roam freely in this city.

"What am I supposed to do?" The young man muttered, as if the burden of thought was still in his mind, which disturbed his current calm.

Stephen slightly raised his right hand, there was a fairly large dry scar, similar to a burn.

"This sign ... can it be removed?" Again Stephen pondered, the look on his face does not look so good now.

A sign that will always be there, whenever and wherever, whenever he sees it Stephen feels not okay.

A little while later after going through the main area of the city, he arrived at the residential area where so many houses existed.

The young man's footsteps came to a halt when he saw a large house, so beautiful and luxurious, of its shape and structure it was certainly not the house of an ordinary person.

Surrounded by a large gate, this house seems to have its own characteristics and that is what makes Stephen stop to look at it for a moment.

Stephen looked closely at this large house, unlike most houses he saw before, he felt interested in this one house.

"The Reiss family." Stephen saw that there was a signboard of the owner of this house in front of the gate, next to it was a sign of the moon and two swords.

"That sign...." Stephen was speechless, he felt bad when he saw such a strange sign, let alone there was a picture of the moon there.

Stephen's eyes were still glued towards the moon emblem and the two swords beside him, his curiosity peaking curious as to what the emblem meant.

And it wasn't just the emblem he was thinking about, Stephen felt he had heard something about the Reiss Family.

"It seems that the name is not foreign.... Where have I heard it?"

Putting aside his surname as well as the foreign symbol, Stephen tried not to assume too much as he sought to find out the truth.

And then after Stephen took another walk, he heard two women talking to each other near the other house.

"Hey you know what? The Reiss family was about to send their son to a Magic Academy far away in the city" said one of the longhaired women.

"The Reiss Family of Sorcerers? Why did they send their children out of town? Aren't there a lot of good magic schools?" comments of short-haired women.

"It seems they have their own reasons, otherwise the school's name is 'Wolfden Magic Academy'" said the long-haired woman.

"Ah, I've heard the name of the school, indeed the school is famous for its many magicians printed there," said the short-haired woman.

Stephen overheard the two women chatting, and in the end he came to know that the Reiss family was indeed a famous family.

And again he could assume the foreign emblem he had seen could have been a symbol for the family or anyone who had become a sorcerer.

"Ah is right too, the Reiss Family," muttered Stephen, he then continued his journey leaving the two women still chatting there, with misgivings slowly coming at him.

Stephen became not as calm as before, in the end he knew his arrival to the big city was not a good idea, even very risky for him.

Seeking tranquility for himself, but his efforts were not as easy as imagined.

Meet the sorcerer here? That was the thing Stephen wanted to avoid the most, at least that's why he visited this city.

"I don't want to deal with anyone here" Stephen murmured as he accelerated his footsteps towards another area of Frost City.

He just looked forward ignoring the few people who passed him who looked at him with a sharp gaze, in the end Stephen as much as possible to avoid contact with anyone after knowing there was a magician in this place.

After some time passed, he left the residential area of the city, he arrived at a shady tree area where the area was very quiet, even impressed no one was here.

Stephen lifted his gaze over the area and then looked at the cloudy night sky, there was no moonlight at all, even the stars were reluctant to reveal themselves.

His lips slightly rose, he felt calmer and more comfortable with this kind of atmosphere, slowly but surely he began to be able to enjoy the atmosphere of calm that he now felt.

He closed his eyes for a moment to enjoy the shade of the tree.

"If every day were like this...."

Stephen walked slowly while closing his eyes, enjoying every calm and peaceful atmosphere he now felt.

Srak.

Without realizing it, a sharp branch from one of the trees hit his right cheek as he walked while closing his eyes, fresh blood slowly flowing unstoppably.

"What's this?" And accidentally he swallowed his own blood, he was astonished at the strange taste in his mouth suddenly.

Stephen immediately wiped his cheeks with his hands, his eyes wide open to see what was in his hands, so red that he could even see the shadow of his own eyes.

"HUH!" Stephen immediately used his black robe to clean the cheek from the wound.

"Damn, I don't see things around...." Stephen couldn't help his panic.

Slowly but surely the young man's eyeball underwent a change, becoming somewhat yellowish with a taper shape, completely invisible to humans in general.

"U... Uh...." Slowly but surely now Stephen began to feel bad, he held his head, feeling something different was happening in him.

His head felt heavy, and what he did not want to think sprung up all inside his head.

"Why did this happen? Shit! ... I just want to calm down here!" Stephen tried to control himself, but what power instead he became calm instead he thrashed and could not stand what happened to him.

What happened to Stephen? No one knows for sure except himself, but even so can be drawn Stephen's conclusions now feel not okay.

"Hc ..."

"... Ha ...us...." Stephen's entire body trembled violently, his saliva slowly dripping unstoppably.

A desire so strong and deep appeared instantly in Stephen, a feeling he had always wanted to avoid now even happened to him again.

"House! Grp...."

Blughs.

Stephen fell down while holding his throat, an irresistible sense of thirst engulfing him, truly a feeling that could not be anticipated.

"Ukhs... Uh...." Stephen groaned withstanding the thirst that existed, but after a while passed his feelings did not subside, even more strengthening.

"A... What am I supposed to do?"

***

Meanwhile in the same area, not far from Stephen, there were two little girls playing together.

They both had similar looks, blond hair and pretty faces, they both laughed and joked with each other.

"Mayhaha ...."

"Huahaha ...."

The two girls continued to play and occasionally laughed, enjoying the time they were currently living.

Near them were his parents, a man and a woman accompanying his two children who were playing.

You could say there is one family who is spending time outside enjoying this beautiful night, not far from the existence of Stephen in the same area.

"Dad, isn't it time we went home?" The young mother had a pretty face and long black hair said to her husband.

Indeed, for some time this family spent outside, if only they did not go home soon maybe the two daughters could be cold because of this late night.

"Ahaha, is it time? All right then let's go home." The father quickly agreed, his appearance handsome with a thin mustache and beard, looks dignified and full of hospitality.

"Aah!" Suddenly the mother screamed in pain, holding her big belly, which she was pregnant with her third child.

"The cylene?! What's up~?" Of course, the father was surprised by his wife's situation, and approached her slowly to see her condition.

Anxious face adorned the man, because he was worried about the state of his pregnant wife.

"What's going on?" he asked once again for the second time after a while his wife was in pain.

"It seems like soon there will be a new family joining," said the young mother named Cylene, a sweet smile engraved with a sign of happiness decorating her heart today.

The father was stunned and felt proud, gratitude and the feeling of longing for the presence of his prospective family strengthened and he felt as happy as his wife.

In that happy state they were both unconscious, his two daughters who were only one year old were no longer near them.

"Rossa, Fredirica mari pu-" The father's words came to a halt when he saw that his two daughters were no longer near them.

"Kids?!" Cylene was surprised to see the same thing, just from being distracted for a bit, her two daughters were suddenly not there with her.

"Cylene can you go home by yourself?" asked the father to his wife with a heavy heart, because he felt bad leaving his pregnant wife.

But what power, he must soon find his two daughters, and there is no way his wife must continue waiting outside in this increasingly late night.

"Sure, please find our son!" Cylene held her husband's hand, after a while she immediately left the forest area, while her husband walked around looking for his two daughters.

"Rossa! Fredrica!"
