When Two Beasts Fell in Love

Chapter 16

A well-planned action will reward you with an excellent result… and that was what happened to White Fang Pack. After a year, their pack prospers. 

What they planned really helped them to progress, not only financial and physiological needs but also the life of the children. They became well educated even though it was hard to associate with other peers at first. 

They became friends with humans, which they really enjoy. They got the chance to explore places they never thought they could step to, which was hard for them before. But as time passed by, human children started to accept them. They play, study, do homework, and even small labor works, they do it together. 

They also realized that humans are not that bad after all. Whatever the King told them was just half-truth. In whatever race, there will always be evil and good. If there's a vicious werewolf, humans have that too. But so far, they encountered a good human. 

Angelique continued her study and took the course of her dream. She wanted to be an agriculturist to help her mother, and she still wanted that. 

Arcadia is a big land that is suitable for farming. She liked to enhance her skill to make new improvements in agricultural production. 

She also took a business course along with that. Her mind can work fast, so two courses were not the problem. 

Even with all the study and improvement of their Pack. Their physical training was not forgotten. 

They all undertook hard training in order for them to fight. Even the kids also have to take it for their defense. Kimberly’s team was always excited to learn new things, so it was not a problem for them. 

For kids, it was fun. But for adults, it was a little bit too hard since Conor was the one who trained them. Angelique joined them, the same as the other teenagers. 

But of course, Angelique has other missions. She had extra training with Conor or Serio. They gave her extra hours for her training and she didn't complain even once. She loves how her body transforms into a leaner one. 

“How’s training?" Clark asked like an old man, as he put Angelique’s food. He was the only one who was awake and the other kids already fell asleep. It was already morning and Angelique's training just ended. 

It was always like this. Her sleep will only last for 3 hours then she goes to school. In school, if she has a vacant time, she will take a nap. She didn’t have any friends, so no social life as they say. 

“Fine. I improve my hunting ability. I really need it in the future,” she said as she put a mouthful of food on her mouth. She was really hungry. All her strength was spent because of their activities a while ago. 

Clark took some water for her because she might choke the way she eats. He didn’t say anything and he just let her eat. He was like a mother hen, taking care of her daughter.

But in the middle of her meal, a small head peek on the door of the room. It was Pink and she was frowning. Angelique knew it was the nightmare again. Pink always woke up in the middle of the night with the same nightmare. She couldn’t help but comfort her.

“Come here.” Angelique gestured to her to come. Pink approached her and then she sat on Angelique’s lap, resting her head on the woman's chest. 

“Nightmare, again?” Clark asked as he sat down on the available stool. Pink just nodded her head. 

By laying down on Angelique's chest, Pink became calm. Angelique’s heartbeat served as a sound on her ear that really soothes her. 

Angelique continued eating as Pink started to close her eyes once again. In a few minutes, she will fall asleep again. The night was so peaceful but not for Pink.  

Once in a while, Pink will sleep with Angelique that’s why she was used to it. The other kids understand it. Pink saw the horrible death of her foster parents. She was just a kid and it’s a trauma they couldn’t erase from her mind. 

Angelique ate fast and when she was done, Clark cleaned the table. 

“Go to bed after that,” Angelique reminded him. 

“I will. I slept a while ago, but I will go back to bed." The woman nodded. 

She took Pink to her room. It was just a simple bedroom made of wood. A bed, a table, and a cabinet could be seen in her room. 

Slowly, she put Pink down on the bed. She took some of her clothes and changed since she already took a bath after going home. After changing, she laid down on Pink’s side. She saw how calm the child now. 

She signed then she closed her eyes. She didn’t have the time to think anymore. She only has a few hours to sleep. She needed to replenish her used energy. So, she fell asleep instantly. 

The next morning, Angelique woke up first. She cleaned herself and went to the big house in Guslar. Kids and teens always eat together, like in a pack. They did it to make them all acquaintance with each other, just like a true pack. In this way, they form a bond and their relationship will grow. 

The kids will follow their pace in time, so she went first. There, she saw some teenagers already started preparing their meal. They greeted her and she just nodded as a reply. 

“Need help?” she asked. 

A girl, two years younger than Angelique smiled. She was grateful that Angelique came. 

“Can you chop the meat in the warehouse? The meat on the freezer was not enough for our packed lunch." They all have packed lunch so it won’t be a hassle to go home. 

“Okay. I will call someone to carry the meat here. Just wait.” Angelique took the butcher and scimitar knife that was hanging on the wall before she walked to the warehouse.

The warehouse was full of different meat. It was a big freezer they built for their food storage. They also have one on the pack, but this one is bigger since they export some of the meat to the market. They have workers to do it and Angelique will just take the food they need. 

They have a two hectares poultry area, three for pigs, another three for cows, two for horses, and ten hectares for food production. It’s where they take the food for the animals and also for them. There are fruits that if rotten will be given to pigs; rice, and corn crops that the hay becomes food for cows and horses. They just brought feeds for chicken. Manure of animals became fertilizer to the land. 

They also have slaughterhouses and a big warehouse. Humans can also work here, to add more manpower, then they will go home in the afternoon. They were all thankful for the opening of the meat store, job opportunities were open for them.

They also knew that some of the kids were orphans and the master of the house took them to give them proper education. Some of the kids' parents worked here too. Humans admire the master because for them it was a goodwill

Angelique was used to it. She always heard them but never mind. 

She just walked to the warehouse and chose the meat of the cow. Man can do what she can, but they're also busy with feeding the animals. It was their task to feed them early in the morning before they go to school. 

Angelique put down the meat on the table and cleaned it. After, she took the knives, and with a swift move, she sliced all the meat, even the bones. 

The first time she tried it, it took her whole day just to finish it. She was having a hard time cutting the bones. But because of her training, it became easy. 

In just ten minutes, the meat was cut according to its purpose. Some were small, some were big. It depends on what dish they will cook. 

At the time she was done, kids came inside. They were all laughing and having fun. 

“Big sister, we will take this to the kitchen." These kids were Kimberly, Clark, Kevin, Hanzel, and Pink. They were all fresh and just came here to have their breakfast as well. They knew their sister would be here, so they wanted to help. 

Angelique knew they would come so she already parted the meat on the bucket. It was just enough for them to carry. The bigger bucket will be carried by her.  

She nodded. One by one, they took the bucket of their size. Even Pink took one after she greeted Angelique. 

Angelique cleaned her tools before she followed them as well. 

On her way, she saw the kids running everywhere. They were all cleaning the surroundings before they went to the dining area. 

Their dining area was like a canteen in school. Three long tables were placed in the center and with chairs on both sides can be seen inside. It was another building made for eating. 

When she came to the kitchen, the teens helped her by putting the meat on the fridge. The teen who talked to her a while ago was already cooking something for their lunch. 

Some of them took the cooked foods to the dining, while some of them packed their lunch. When all was done, they ate together while having fun. They were all excited for a new day. 

But not Angelique. 

When she got to school, all she did was study. She listened to the lecture and did her assignment in advance. She ate her lunch then back to class. That was all her routine and no one dared to speak with her. Because the first time they tried to bully her, the guy was in the hospital for a week. She was not suspended or expelled since it was the guy's fault. Since then, no one has tried it again. 

The afternoon came and they needed to go home. Human workers were already off duty, so they could do whatever they wanted. 

They locked the main gate then ran to the forest. It was hunting season, so they needed to go home. They were also happy about it. Kids can’t come but they can make a bonfire. It was fun for them. 

Angelique stood as their leader, so she ran fast first. But when they arrived in the middle of the forest, Angelique stopped and smelt the whole place. From a distance, she could easily identify what was happening, based on the smell and noises they made. Her group couldn’t hear them but they believed in her, whatever she will say. 

“Go that way,” she said while pointing the other direction. The other group reached them and stopped. They heard what she said and they all nodded their heads. 

“Do we need to call Conor or Elder Serio?" one of the teens asked. 

“No need. I can handle this.” They just agreed and left her there. 

But Kimberly was not convinced. She was more attached to Angelique and she can feel if something bad will happen. 

“Tell Uncle Conor that we are here. I won’t leave Big Sister behind." Clark understood. 

Kimberly saw how her big sister wore the mask she had given to her. It was made from clay but sturdy. It was painted black and blue that compliments Angelique’s eyes. 

Angelique sniffed the air, then in a blink of an eye, she vanished. She can move too fast now. It was one of the training sessions with Serio. White Fang has the ability to vanish in the air, it is like that but the truth is that they just move too fast that even a werewolf can not see. 

Kimberly was still small even though she was seven years old. She didn't see where Angelique go, but she ran in the other direction. She was not fast, so she didn’t see what happened. 

Angelique popped up on the roadside as a Lycans, five of them, zipped their pants. They were all laughing at the woman who was not moving at all. 

“She was so tight. I want to do it again but it seems, she’s dead," one of them said. With his words, Angelique's eyes brightened. She remembered her mother’s past. 

“It will be a bad reputation for us if they found her dead body on our territory,” another one said. 

“Let's throw her to White Fang Pack. They will be the one to blame.” They laughed with the idea. White Fang Pack for them was a worthless pack. With this crime, they will vanish for good if the king finds it out. 

“That's a good idea. If we make the White Fang Pack vanish, Alpha will thrill and reward us.” They think too much. 

They all agreed and were ready to take the woman’s body, but Angelique came out of her hiding place. 

“Not so fast,” she said while her eyes were shining. It was a blue color with a white dot on the center. They recognized her as a woman and their kind. 

“Hey, woman. It is not your business, so go back home and serve your husband so well. Or are you looking for some fun? We are game." They all laughed and mocked her. 

They knew she’s a Lycan because of the color of her eyes. Each race has a different color that symbolizes them. Lycans have blue, werewolf-sorcerers are brown that turn to gold, white fangs have white eye color, the king has gray, and so on. 

“Tsk!” she expressed her disapproval. She didn't like what she heard. She didn't need to hear anything anymore. Angelique didn’t care at all, and all she wanted was to kill them. 

She let her claws come out as her eyes became so dangerous. 

She never thought twice and attacked the Lycans. Her moves were like she was dancing with the wind, so fast that no one can see. 

They felt nervous and tried to escape or called for backup. But before they could, their head was not connected to their body anymore. They do not have a fight with a merciless Lycan. 

Angelique was in euphoria after killing them. She didn't know but she was already writing a name on their body. 

‘LILY’

That was the name that came out of her head. While she was writing, she felt like she was a predator. She felt hungry seeing the flesh of these men. 

With her long nail, she took a chunk of flesh and ate it. She felt that her hunger was filled. But still, she wanted more. She took more flesh and ate it. 

Kimberly saw how her big sister was enjoying her feast. She got frightened so she stepped back. But unfortunately, she stepped on dried leaves that made a noise. 

Angelique heard it. She looked to where Kimberly is and her eyes got brighter because of excitement. Kimberly’s heartbeat became faster and her body trembled. Sweats dripping on her forehead and her palm was sweating. 

She tried to run but her big sister was faster than her. She blocked her way. 

“No way to go, baby girl.” Angelique's voice became different. It was a little hoarse that was really frightening and her eyes were like a predator looking on its prey.  

“Bi-big sister," she called for her but it seems she was never heard. 

Angelique approached the small girl and ready to attack her. Kimberly was so afraid that she just sat down and waited for what next. 

She waited for the pain to come, but it never happened. She opened her eyes. 

“Boo!” Angelique startled her and followed by Angelique laughed. 

Kimberly’s eyes became red because of the tears that were ready to come out of her eyes. 

“Don't worry, I know you.” Her last words became soft and she fell down on Kimberly. She just fell asleep that made Kimberly nervous. She was ready to scream for help when a man came out. 

“Don't worry. She is fine. I just used some tranquilizer on her." Conor came out of nowhere. 

That’s where Kimberly cried because of her emotions. But most of all, she was really afraid a while ago. She thought her big sister would kill her. But she was just joking. For the first time, Angelique made a joke. 

A horrible joke. 

Conor made sure that everything won't point out to Angelique. He made sure that the scent will vanish, with the use of some special perfume made by Serio. 

When everything's alright, they leave the place, carrying Angelique. She didn't touch the woman because it might reflect on them. 

Few minutes after they left, a new group came and a woman led them. They stopped and looked at the dead bodies. They became livid when they saw the woman because she was one of their pack. 

They felt sad and angry. 

The Beta squatted down felt her pulse and he was happy that she felt a beat. 

“She's still alive," he said. 

“Took her," the woman with blonde hair said. She looked around and she sniffed something. It was so thin but she still can. 

“Impossible! She was already dead. Don't assume, Chiara." She said to herself. Her wolf wanted to follow the trail of the unique scent, but she just couldn't. She couldn't leave her group. 

“Looks like Lycans have a new enemy and it is worse than us," the Beta said again. 

They all looked at the name and chill crept to their body. 

Just a name and whoever saw it will tremble in fear.
