"Ah ..." Raline screamed, feeling pain in the wrist. Raline opened her eyes slowly and found one of the werewolves gripping Raline's hand tightly.
Raline tried to rebel, but that only made Raline's grip on her wrist even stronger.
Raline closed her eyes again when she felt the grip on her wrist getting stronger.
"Stop!"
Raline could faintly hear someone's voice as if interrupting the pack of wolves surrounding Raline. Either, Raline did not know for sure what and who it was. The girl kept her eyes closed.
"Alpha..." said the wolves. Some also bowed respectfully to the one he called Alpha.
“What are you doing? Quick, let him go!” he ordered.
“But Alpha Charles, we ju-“
"Let go!" said a person called Alpha Charles with absolute certainty, as if he did not want to accept a rebuttal.
Someone who held Raline's hand obediently immediately released her grip. How could they dare to go against the orders of their leader, their king?
If someone has become an Alpha, of course, the strength they have is not half-hearted. Raline opened her eyes slowly. It felt like she was in a dreamland. Raline backed away slowly when the crowd of wolves surrounded her again.
"What's wrong, Alpha? Shouldn't this be what we should be doing?" asked one of the wolves.
"This is my business. Quickly you guys go!" their leader ordered.
Of course, the wolves surrounding Raline did not accept their king's decision. Many questions seemed to pop up in their heads about the change in Alpha's attitude. But what can they do as ordinary people?
After all, Alpha's words were complete orders. Therefore, they inevitably have to let Raline go.
Raline breathed a sigh of relief when the wolf targeting her was now a little away from her.
"Get out of here. I'll take care of that girl," repeated Alpha.
"Okay, Alpha .." said the wolves in unison. A moment later, the werewolves changed back into beasts and then ran away from Raline.
Raline was still trying to regulate her hunting breath. She felt a little relieved when the crowds of beasts were no longer chasing her.
"I'm Carles..." said an Alpha who introduced himself to Raline.
Carles? Ah, who cares about the name of hell? All Raline wants is to leave here right now. Raline wants to disappear to avoid problems instead of finding more complicated problems like this.
"What's your name?" he asked. But Raline ignored Charles's words. The girl continued to stare at Charles with concern. Afraid that a new problem is now coming back to him.
After all, Charles is a wolf, and Raline fears the wolf will pounce on her. Raline once read an article about the nation of wolves having an Alpha or often called a king. And all Alpha's words they must obey. Don't forget that Alpha has ten times the strength of its people.
This made Raline even more afraid. What if, at this time, Alpha would tear her body apart? Blood, of course, is after Raline's blood. But what did he say? Holy Blood? Raline is confused by this.
What is the concept of holy blood that they mean, and why is it in Raline? Isn't that very strange and unreasonable?
Charles walked closer to Raline. It made Raline afraid. Raline kept backing away when she saw Charles, who stepped closer.
"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you," Charles said.
Won't it hurt? What's that bullshit? And who believes in such boasting? Of course, Raline doesn't believe it! Even his people almost accepted Raline and wanted to tear him apart, so what now? Won't it hurt?
"Do not come close!" Raline shouted with mixed feelings.
"I won't hurt you, don't worry," Charles said confidently.
But Raline doesn't believe in that at all. After all, Charles is a beast. Can it be trusted? But if you can, maybe Raline won't just believe it easily. It could be a trick so that Raline falls into the trap.
Raline searched all over to find the mirror that had brought her here. Raline had time to check the mirror right at the location when this unknown nature carried her away. But the mirror is not there at all.
So Raline keeps looking for it. Maybe the mirror is around here, right?
"What are you looking for? What's missing?" asked Charles as he stepped closer to Raline.
“I beg you, don't, come closer!” Raline shouted again loudly.
Carles' calm demeanor only made Raline even more afraid of him, but Charles kept moving his feet to get closer to Raline.
"Calm down, I won't hurt you," Charles said again, looking at Raline closely as if he convinced the girl that he would not hurt Raline.
But Raline didn't believe that. The girl walked backward and immediately turned around, leaving Charles still looking for the mirror that brought her here.
“Oh, come on! In Amna, the mirror, I can't stand being here anymore. I don't want to die ridiculously here," Raline said tremblingly. Of course, it didn't escape Charles' view. Charles sauntered behind Raline. At the same time, Raline was like a person who was confused and looking for something.
"What exactly are you looking for?" Charles asked again.
“Hey, I'm not going to hurt you. If that's the case, why didn't I pounce on you earlier? Have you forgotten that I saved your life?” asked Charles while walking, following Raline's small steps.
Raline stopped her steps and looked at Charles with a bit of courage. "What do you want?"
"Nothing, I just saved you," replied Charles.
"Then get away from me now!"
"You want to go back to being their target?" Charles asked, looking at Raline, confused.
“How is it different from you, who also targets me?” Raline asked.
Raline kept walking away, searching for the strange mirror; however, she had to return to her world. Yes, the world she was living in was extraordinary.
"I helped you, and why are you still afraid of me?"
How could she not be afraid if the one in front of her this time was a werewolf? Akh, it felt like Raline wanted to punch the face of the man in front of her and run as fast as she could. But all just wishful thinking. She still loves her life.
"You know the mirror?"
"Know," replied Charles with a look in his eyes that stared at Raline sharply.
