"My lady!" Cathulf called out to Ashina. She couldn't hear. She walked away from Farkas. Unaware of her environment. "Lady Ashina!" Dinar called out. But she heard this time around. She didn't want to listen to them. Right now, the only thing she wants to do is what her heart tells her to do. To leave the Town. Nothing was interesting about it anymore. It's become a place of pain. "Grandmother said that I will always get what I want, as long as I put my heart and mind into it. Grandmother, you lied to me. I prayed for Beowulf.""Lady Ashina," Cathulf grabbed her hard. She brought her back to consciousness and made her aware of her environment. "My Lady, I know your fears. But it's not worth it. He hasn't picked her yet. He hasn't accepted his daughter yet." Cathulf comforted her. "It's all the same, isn't it?" Ashina said. Her voice faded. It's shaky. It's a bit croaky and not lively. She had lost her spirit. 

Amoux looked behind him. He saw the guards approaching. They were guards from the Ultimate pack. They weren't rushing. People were trying to get away from where Amoux was standing. He dropped Ashina who was nearly gaining her consciousness. He realised the situation he is in. Market guards who are definitely weaker than him, are before him. He could fight through them, but the Ultimate guards would have caught up with him by then. "Don't come closer," he warned. He held his claws at Ashina's neck. His eyes showed desperation. "I am Amoux of Hudun pack. Son of the Alpha. And there has been a misunderstanding," he explained. "She is my Felan to be. It's only an argument between us. Look, those are people from my pack. They dare not deny me," he pointed to Farkas and others he knew were from his pack. "Lord Amoux, you have disrupted the edict binding this market. It's a neutral place and no form of violence. We understand who you are. We know your father, but even he is not above the

"It's not easy. I am tired. I can't wait to get freedom," Bollo mourned. It's been days that he has been coming to the woods to pick sesame seed for the Ultimate Luna. She told him it was important for her childbearing process which is scheduled to be in days. He feels tired and angry at the fact that he is alone here. He misses his friends. He no longer gets to go back to his family. Most of the time, he is always hanging out with the Ultimate Luna and Edon. But now, he isn't with them but just to get sesame seeds. He has gotten enough and needs to return. But something else was getting his attention. Earlier on, he heard a grunt and a light thud. He disposed of the thoughts of that. He thought it was just some animals or his thoughts. But the sounds keep coming as low moans. It sounded like someone was in pain. He dropped his bag of sesame seed and tiptoes towards the direction he thought it came from. He saw a snake curled up near a rabbit hole. A cobra. "Such a vile and disgus

Beowulf's first reaction to the appearance of Bollo was to attack him. He did that on impulse. His instinct sensed danger. His beast sense tickled really harder than usual. He knows having a premarital is against the culture of the land he was brought up in, but still, he does it because it's fun. Also, what's fun about having youthful days without disobeying the law. But he has just gone overboard.He feared what would happen if his father or other people should hear of what just happened. What he was caught doing. He doesn't know Bollo on a personal level, but he has seen him with his mother and Uncle Edon countless times. He is the one usually supporting his mother alongside two other maids. But now he is at the right place at the wrong time. Beowulf had killed him else his reputation would receive a punch. Killing Bollo wasn't the hard part. He is just not expecting Sassaba's reaction this way. She seems down, shocked and broken. He wouldn't blame her. This is her first exposure t

Welcome Beowulf, you have come to check up on her," his mother said. She revels in delight at Beowulf's presence. She looked at him from the top of his head to his feet. "Yes Mother, I am here," "You didn't tell me she is such a beautiful lady. It's unfair on your part to have left me out of full information about her,""At least now you are seeing her," he smiled. His head hurts now that he is in the same room with his mother. He feels tired and needs to leave. Ashina lies on the table, she lies weak and unconscious. "Why isn't she healing?" He asked his mother. It's rare for them to use this medical room. If it's an injury gotten from battle or any form of violence, it heals on its own. Most times the medical room is used for sick people. Not those who got the injury from fighting or even abuse, in her case. "She was on her period before he punched her. Her systems are weak already. So her imm
