epilog In the woods surrounded by night silence, a scream was heard in the castle, which was quietly silenced. The king's best friend and adviser betrayed him and, covered in the darkness of the night, slipped into the castle to kill him and everyone else. He and his soldiers did not spare the people around the castle. He could not afford the luxury of leaving a witness. His jealousy prevented him from thinking clearly. The king of the castle refused to reveal the secret of how he managed to curb his animal instincts especially during the full moon. How he managed to hide the smell of his wolf and control the transformations so that he could turn into a wolf whenever he wanted and vice versa. The king sensed that he was not asking this to himself ... but he expected the best betrayals ... so he gathered a handful of the best soldiers and sent his pregnant wife and a couple of years' daughter with them, leaving himself to defend the castle and his people. He knew full well that it was suicide ... but the hope and opportunity that those two beings brought him allowed him to hope that all would be well. The king last kissed his wife, a part of her round belly, and a crying daughter. He hugged them tightly and accompanied her eyes quietly, gripping. He turned and approached the gate and took a deep breath several times to allow his wolf to escape. His limbs transformed into paws as the body grew white as snow fur. He heard the remaining soldiers join. Entering the deadly silence, the castle gates suddenly opened and a deadly duel between the two men began ... Until the great war of nations in the world, everyone tried to keep the peace. And I'm not just talking about the people's people ... You heard me right ... All the nations prospered in this world. The earth was divided by humans, vampires and werewolves, elves, nymphs, fairies walked in the woods, mermaids and sirens swam in the water, and dragons flew in the sky. There were many other creatures hiding here and there. All of them had their own kings and systems of government. Each time problems arose, they gathered in the center of the world and discussed them. Of course, the people of nation were the most troubled. While the king of the people was wise in the eyes of others, the people were a poor adversary. No one knows, or maybe does not remember why and who started the war ... Everyone only remembers the end of it. This world was no longer what it used to be. The trust of nations in each other was shattered and ties and bridges united to break them. The wolves retreated to the northern region and its worlds. People stayed in the southern region. Witches and sorcerers stayed on the fringes of the southern region because living among the people was too difficult. Elves, fairies and nymphs hid in the green worlds, and mermaids and mermaids in the water. Dragons .... no one has ever seen dragons again, and if anyone knows where they will take this secret to the grave. Rosemary Beep beep beep beep !!! Like every morning I woke up shedding cold sweat ... The same dream ... The same forest ... The same crying scared woman. As always, my eyes were swollen from crying. Standing on the cold floor, I did several stretching exercises. I walked quietly on my fingertips across my small attic bedroom. I took off my school uniform and descended even quieter. Bypassing all the squeaky parts of the floor, I approached the bathroom door. I quietly opened them and hung my uniform on the hanger. I quickly ran to the kitchen and took out the eggs and fruit. The coffee machine turned on the sides reminded that the bath would be occupied after half an hour. I hurriedly put the eggs in the pot and buried them. When I got back to the bath, I took a quick shower. Finally I got dressed and let my hair lightly dye. I never painted, but today it was a celebration for me because I would get a graduation diploma and finally be able to take it out of here. After hearing the noise at the top, I realized that the woman and her daughter had woken up. Taking my lip gloss and eye mascara from the ledge ledge, I returned to the kitchen. I poured the eggs with cold water and the juicer had already squeezed the juice. I left everything on the table and hurried to the door. Grabbing a mini backpack, I tossed a couple of apples, a wallet, a phone, and keys into it. Finally, with a smile, I walked towards the bus stop. There was no need to wait long for the school bus. After boarding, I settled in my usual place at the back of the window. I was quietly glad to finally start a new life. I bought an old model pickup a few months ago. Of course I bought it myself, I hired someone I paid in cash. I have been planning this getaway for the past year. For a while, I had decided to quit everything and come to terms with life in that woman’s house but ... after one guest visit, I made up my mind. Remembering his predatory piercing gaze, cold ran through my spine and a suffocating bump got stuck in my throat. When I returned from school that time I just crossed the threshold I felt like there was something in the house. I crossed the corridor and I was already climbing the stairs when I felt a distracted look and I turned my head. And here he was sitting on the living room couch and sipping something. I saw him stand up and start stepping towards me. The voice shouted in my head that I was pulling away from him as far as possible. That's what I did. He steps towards me while I step up. I didn't take a look for a moment. When I was at the top of the stairs he was already standing at the bottom of them. Suddenly he began to wrap his head like a drill bit. Lauk !! Lauk !! Lauk !! Laaaauuuuk !!!! The voice screamed in my head. I saw a surprise in his eyes for a moment, but it quickly disappeared. My legs, as if regaining energy, carried my body to the only safe haven known to me ... The attic. Suddenly the bus stop brought me back to reality. We all gathered in the main hall. Ribbons were tied everywhere, balloons and flower garlands were attached. When I approached my group I looked around, but I didn’t find a chair with my name that way. Everyone seemed confused, and anger and despair began to boil in me. - That's where you are Rosemary ... I already thought you were sick and I wouldn't be present. - Panel Trelon? She smiled lovingly and relief was clearly visible on her face. Gently taking my hand, she pulled me to follow me. Finally, I sat right in front of a few other students. I sat quietly and waited, looking out the window. I watched as birds fluttered in the nest in the nearest tree. Still small unhealthy ... who still need parental care. I can’t say Lotte (the woman I live with) didn’t care about me at all. No ... I was dressed, I always had a roof over my head, a bed to sleep on ... but I had to earn everything. She kept repeating, “In Rosemary’s life, I get nothing for nothing ... everything has to be paid for and everything has to be earned. Especially for people like you ... ” From the moment I started to realize how someone had stopped hiring a babysitter. I remember my first prepared food ... it was a boiled egg. I reacted repeatedly when I was called by name but eventually the girl sitting next to me shook her leg and brought me back to this world. After climbing the podium, I took my diploma and accepted the king’s own thanks for his excellent learning, excellent exam results, and achievements to the school. How much I cried for such attention. I stood with the director for a few seconds, posing for a photo. When I got off the podium I didn’t sit back in my seat but went out. I put the diploma and letter of thanks nicely in my backpack. The weather was great so I decided to go. On the way I went to the store. As every day the shopping cart was very similar to one other item was for my needs. I behaved normally. I didn’t want to arouse unnecessary interest. When I left the store in the distance I saw dark storm clouds. I hurriedly walked towards the house. I didn’t have an umbrella today on purpose. It rained just a few meters before the door. After unloading my purchases, I started preparing as usual. I knew Lot with Etala would not return home. For several weeks now, Etala has been talking about celebrating graduating with her friends at the club, and Lotte made a new friend and left a couple of days ago. I prepared everything for tomorrow. I locked the doors, closed the windows. Everything is like every day. Climbing into my room, I changed clothes and took a bag that I hid under the floorboards. After going down to the living room, I lifted the tiles by the fireplace and pulled out a bag of money and reloaded about half of them into mine. Finally, after sorting everything out, I double-checked the contents of my backpack. New phone with a new card and number .... other documents with a new identity .... I was ready. All you had to do was walk out the door. As I walked past the parades, the sky mixed with the earth, slamming them outside. "Everything will be fine ... Go and don't turn back ...." Encouraged by the inner voice, I quickly climbed over the fence and threw away the keys. As soon as I crossed, I started running towards the place where I hid the car. To my surprise, I didn't breathe ... on the contrary, I felt great. My body radiated that wonderful warmth that made me not feel the cold. When I reached the old shed, her roof was already collapsed. After panicking, I ran through the wreckage and climbed inside. It was easier to breathe when I heard the engine start. I pulled my dry clothes out of the bag. Finally when I felt dry the machine moved slowly. I quickly drove off the highway. I pressed as much as I could. I didn’t stop anywhere except at gas stations. I need to drive as far north as possible. So said the inner voice. As I approached my eighteenth birthday, I heard it more and more often and clearly. At first it was like intuition, but the farther away I start to doubt it. It wasn’t the same as talking to yourself .... it’s pretty hard to explain. But simply put, it felt like there was something else in me ... And that someone had their own opinion. A sudden relief of relief forced the machine to stop. As I looked through the glass of the right mirror on the sign I read the inscription "YOU ARE COMING TO THE SOUTHERN REGION" - I finally left the southern region ... I'm free. gabriel I heard someone enter my room. From the smell I realized it was Katerina. Suddenly retracted curtains let in light into the room. I was more reminded of my presence here. I hid my head under the bedding and tried to fall asleep. I felt her standing by my bed and my body tensed. After yesterday’s fiasco, I realized that everything could be expected from her. I waited for her to leave, but she just stood there. - Katerina, what do you want? I waited patiently until she said something when I heard something like the snort of the material. Sticking his head out from under the blanket I saw her only with underwear. I jumped out of bed in an instant. - What the hell are you thinking here? - I do not understand what you are so surprised? After all, we will be a husband and wife ... - I'm not going to marry you .... My wife and Luna will be the woman I love, not the other way around. She took a few steps towards me and I turned back. She stopped and threw her hair back, completely exposing her chest. Her eyes kept changing color and it was a sign that her wolf wanted to take over. - Are you angry about that girl? ... Well she got what she deserved ... Her voice was full of grief, and her eyes shone with satisfaction. Remembering how a poor girl I knew when she hadn’t even been able to walk, lying on the floor bloody crying started boiling blood for me. My wolf tried to grip, but it was close to the surface so my hands started to change. - You disgusted her with Katerina's face, and she just came to say goodbye. Yesterday evening she had to be the last one here. She just rolled her eyes and sighed as if my explanation annoyed her. I felt like after a little my whole body tensed. Her mere presence here has annoyed me, and that bloat ... I've known Catherine since childhood. Then we agreed perfectly, but as we grew, our outlook on life began to differ. She was raised like a princess and with them everything was put on a gilded plate ... When in the meantime I achieved everything myself even though my dad is our gang Alpha. After thinking about moving to the snowy mountains, I finally managed to calm down. I approached Katerina and grabbed her by the arm and began to continue towards the door. - What are you ... !!! Along the way, I gathered all her clothes and when I opened the door I threw her out with all the rags outside. - Katerina ... Listen very carefully, because I will not repeat it again. I wouldn’t marry you even if you were the last living creature on this page ... and that’s the point. Now I will wash my clothes and when I go down for your sake I very much hope I will not find you here. When I slammed the door a few times I took a deep breath. I looked at the clock and sighed and decided that going back to bed didn't make sense so I did as I said. I went to the shower quickly and changed clothes. As I looked out the window I saw my young sisters returning from the forest. Tonight my sister Elna joined our clan for good. When a wolf emerges, what happens after the eighteenth birthday, a ceremony is held to welcome the new wolf into the gang. The youngest Silė happily followed Elna from behind. In a few years, it will be her turn and we will finally be able to have a feast. I still landed with a smile on my face. When I heard Silė's baptism, I hastened the pace and saw what I really didn't expect. - Layers .... When did you come back buddy? My brother Claude ... a free soul. He has relinquished his claims to the Alpha title and travels regions and worlds virtually all the time. Sometimes one sometimes with a gang. We only see it a few times a year. Mudu hugged her carefully so as not to squeeze between us, Silė, and we finally sat down at the table. As always, the food was cucumber tastier when you shared it with someone. Claude began to recount the impressions of the trip. This was followed by the distribution of gifts and travel stories again. I enlightened him about my situation with Katerina. And while we were talking I heard a commotion outside that was getting closer. The sudden opening of the door made Silė flinch. Catherine, who came in, stopped for a moment and took a quick step towards me. “How dare you block your card?” She shouted, throwing the card at me. - This card is mine, and you don't ... - I used it .... you have no right to block it !!! - This card is mine and only mine !!! And spit on me as you promise to pay for everything !!! You are not my sister, not my wife and not even my girlfriend ... Catherine's face began to turn red with anger. She trembled and shone like a playful child. Inside me, after a little anger, it began to throb again. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down when I heard Silė and Elna crunch. Catherine's eyes immediately pierced them with a killing look. Maybe to shut them up, but they started shouting in a voice and at that moment I saw something break in her eyes. Within a moment, Catherine's wolf appeared and attacked Silė. When the deer was closest, he reacted faster and blocked the young man. I smelled the blood and realized that Elna was hurt. Behind the wolf dancing on my back, I hugged her neck and started pressing. - Korile !!! Either you release Elna or I will strangle you to death !!! I screamed but the wolf didn't listen to me so I pressed harder until I heard the bones crack. Both the wolf and my sister cried out in pain, but finally Elna's body fell to the floor. As Corillion retreated, Catherine's body sagged. I attacked my sister at the same moment. As soon as I picked her up, I started running to the medical center, and Claude ran after him, carrying Catherine. Just entering the door we were met by a doctor and a few nurses. Elna and Katerina were put to bed and pushed out the door. Claude returned home and brought Silė to be examined by a doctor. An hour later, the doctor finally showed up. - So .... - Will Elna recover? - Ms. Elna will be able to travel home. She paid off only with crushed forearms and scratches. I’ll remove the plaster in a week, and don’t let it move too much until then. The trough is healthy only scared. I will prescribe mild sedatives to make it easier for her to fall asleep. For Ms Katerina, I would like to speak in private. My face fluttered when she heard her name, but the doctor looked worried so I nodded to Claude and followed the doctor from behind to his office. With a wave of his hand urging me to sit down, he sat in front. Then stretched out a sheet with the results of the research. I read each graph carefully and caught my eye at several parameters. - What does all this mean? - That means Katerina is seriously ill. I heard that her parents are coming today ... It will be best if we start the treatment right away. I looked at the results and couldn’t believe it. When I left the office, Elna was waiting for me. When the two gazes intersected, she smiled and turned around to follow suit. Mudu stopped for a moment at the window of the intensive care unit. There, Katerina slept peacefully in bed. Her bruises could be seen from afar. I looked at my hands and clenched my fists. - Hey .... if you hadn't clicked her now I would be lying next to her with her hand broken. You did the right thing ..., ”Elna said, stroking my shoulder. Her voice was gentle and soothing, but anger boiled inside me. If not for my anger I might have been able to see that something was wrong with her. When we got home we were greeted by Dad. When he finally calmed down I closed the office between the papers. Page by page, reports and messages were declining. As a gang alpha, I had a lot of responsibilities. I had just finished reading one of our last gang business contracts when I heard a knock. My sister Silė's head came out the door. - What happened to the princess? She went inside, but said nothing. A quick run put a note on my desk. Then she stepped back and the staring contest began. I know full well that she only does that when she thinks of something. Looking at the note, I took it in my hands and started reading. “Central region, cocktail bar 10 a.m., today. Dress normally because it’s a club and you need a break. DON'T BE LATE !!! ” Somewhat surprised by this statement, I smiled at Silei and was already starting to object when I confronted her murderous gaze. - You will go to that club and have fun, because if not I will be your personal nightmare. Did I say that clearly? I watched her lose her word and was able to just nod. After a moment, she turned and walked out the door. Before I could sit down, I heard another knock and the doctor and Katerina's parents entered through the door. Showing a hand gesture to them, I sat down by myself. At that time, the doctor handed them leaves with the results of her daughter's blood. "I don't understand ..." the woman spoke first. - Alpha Gabriel, you said we need to pick up Catherine as soon as possible ... And now you're showing us her blood results. There was confusion on their faces. And then the woman froze looking at the leaf again. The trembling hands squeezed harder for a moment, squeezing the edges of the sheet harder. Her eyes filled with tears while the man looked more and more confused. And when the wife showed a finger in several places his face palms. - I am very sorry Alfa Micheli and Luna Dera but ... Katerina is a drug addict .... "How dare you ... !!!," exclaimed Michel. - It's a mistake .... Our daughter ... “I’m very sorry, but such amounts of silver and wolverine can only accumulate over a long period of time,” the doctor intervened in a calm tone, “but apart from that we can start treatment and your daughter has a really good chance of getting scarred. michel hugged his weeping wife. I couldn’t imagine how they felt. Still, Katerina was their only child. And the loss would be unbearable. The doctor explained in a calm tone the treatment plan, which would last for more than a year .... but kept reminding that Katerina has a very high chance of surviving it all. It would help her a lot if she could find her other half, which was destined for her by fate - the Goddess of the Moon Selena. Saying goodbye and thanking them, they finally followed the doctor from behind to the hospital where their daughter was lying. When I was left in the office alone I sighed and looked at my watch. Remembering Silė's message, I quickly ran from the office to my room and hurriedly started to prepare. As I traveled to the central region I dressed thin. The white short sleeve fit snugly against my trained body, and the slightly looser dark blue pants allowed me to move freely. I put on my sneakers and put on a black leather jacket. Looking at my image in the mirror again, I left the room and landed in the garage. The last time I left I looked at the house. After pausing the car a little, I waved at Silei, who was sticking to the window. Silė was a little girl ... but it is better not to joke with her ... yes she is cute, funny but ... if you anger her then pray to anyone who wants it she will be able to turn your life into a real hell. The trip to the central region takes a bit, but it’s worth it. The northern region where I live spring, summer and autumn lasts for five months. When in the meantime there is only summer in the center. When I finally reached my destination I saw a few famous faces a little further afield. - What the hell does Elna mean? I came to believe she was here. Even today, she is almost over, and now, with a smile on her face, she is telling today’s impressions. - Ooo, my brother has finally arrived ... we already thought you wouldn't be able to ... The deer’s voice kept ringing. With each word she uttered, she retreated more and more. Well known why I was angry. Slowly she approached me and knocked me on the shoulder. She never knew how to put it into words. From an early age, it was a gesture of her apology. I just smiled and put my hand on her head, curling her hair. Finally, slapping me in the arm took a few steps back and started to tidy my hair. I looked towards the bar and saw how much people were waiting outside and how much I was alarmed and started to follow. Finally, breaking through the crowd of people, we entered. We were greeted by the waitress and led to a table reserved for us. Once we settled down, we started talking and the tension in my body started to subside .... but when the waitress brought our tray of drinks, a strange smell flooded my nose. I first approached the tray looking for the source of that scent and here lay a paper lotus flower in the middle. After taking it, I sniffed it again and I was convinced of that. When the waitress accepted Claude's order and was about to leave, I caught her by the hand. “Touching the waiter at this club is forbidden,” she shouted, clearly showing dissatisfaction. - Excuse me, but I need to know who made this flower. - Run the wolf and I'll tell you ... For that moment, I released the girl. She was still rubbing the skin of her hand while looking at me. The whole body language of the girl was repulsive. And what you might want from a vampire. - They are made by one of our bartenders ... you are very lucky that she works today. The girl disappeared and I was left standing. My heart was pounding like crazy ... my wolf Trela ​​mask and jumped out of happiness .... finally after so many years we finally found her ... finally found our Luna.
