When Two Beasts Fell in Love

Chapter 18

“What you have done was still not enough,” Serio said when they reached the top of the mountain. 

The air on the mountain top was denser than a while ago. But Angelique managed to control her breathing and made some techniques to help her. 

Every stepped she took while climbing up was so hard. She couldn’t even lift her feet. It was like there were ten tons of metal balls connected to her. 

She didn’t answer him, instead, she just sat down and collected herself. She didn’t know but she felt that the air became heavier. 

“Wha-what are you doing?” she asked Serio, having a hard time speaking. 

“I didn’t do anything. It's nature who did this. As the sun sits down, it gets darker, the air also becomes denser.” He put a lot of weights on the table. “Bring all of this on the foot of the mountain. I will wait for you.” Then Serio left her. 

Angelique touched her neck when she couldn’t breathe anymore. As time passes by, it becomes harder and harder. 

“No! It can’t be.” With her remaining strength and will, she stood up and got one of the weights. 

She almost fell down because it felt so heavy. She couldn’t carry it in one go. Even just one piece, it felt so heavy, what's more, if it's all of them. 

She struggled to get up until she managed. It was so hard. She never imagined that it was so hard if she never experienced it. 

Hard work and determination really made a fruitful result. Angelique never gave up even though it was so hard. She never complained to anything about this. She knew it was the training she needed to undergo just to be the self she wanted. 

When she was done, collecting all of the weights, it was already morning. The sun was rising and people were looking at her. She was laying down on the foot of Serio because of exhaustion, but she felt satisfied. 

She smiled for the last time before she fell asleep. Serio smiled at her as she signaled a woman nearby. She nodded and carried Angelique home. 

Angelique lost a lot of weight, so it was easy to carry her now. The girl blushed as she saw a little skin of Angelique. Little everyone knows was that Angelique became attracted to women and dominated the men. 

They went home and Clark took them in. The woman who carried her looked around her room and her face was painted again by red colors. 

“You can leave. I can take care of her.” He wants the woman to leave. He didn’t want that look she was giving to her big sister. 

“You… you know, I can help you. I can change her clothes and wash her for you.” The woman suggested and bit her lower lips. She was excited to do it. For sure, she will have more points than the other female in their pack. 

Maybe it was the right thing to do since Clark is a man. But he won’t let her sister be molested. 

“I can wake up my sister,” he said while looking at the woman intently. He knew what she was thinking and the other woman around them. 

“It will be a hassle,” she interjected. No one should spoil her plan. 

“We can take care of our sister. Just go home, woman.” Kimberly walked inside with Pink in tow. 

Pink smiled seeing her elder sister. She ran fast and climbed up the bed. She saw how dirty her sister was and how tired she was. She frowned. 

“I can clean her up,” she said. 

The woman's face got red, not because of excitement but because of embarrassment. Her plan was not working and it will not work. So, she was pushed to leave the place. She stamped her feet while walking home. 

Clark shook her head in disapproval while looking at the woman. Her sister was already unconscious but they still wanted to take advantage of it. 

“Let’s clean our Big Sister.” Pink's voice woke him up. 

“Okay. I’ll just take some water while you prepare her clothes. I will leave the rest to both of you.” They both nodded to what Clark said. 

He walked out and fetched some water while both girls prepared Angelique. They got her clean clothes and undressed her. They just covered her with the blanket. 

Clark came back and left again. Both girls tidied up Angelique with all their hearts. They were happy to do it to their sister. 

When they were done, they came out. They saw that Clark already prepared their breakfast and the siblings were seated on their chair. 

“Let’s take our breakfast." They nodded at what Kimberly said. 

They didn't have any class now, so they will help on the farm. They planned to leave Pink to accompany their sister. 

It became like that for a few weeks. All her training was on the mountain and every time it was so hard. One of them is dancing with her sword while climbing up the mountain. It becomes harder to breathe when you are moving. 

On her first day, she didn't even get to the middle. It was so hard and strength consuming. 

But she's a woman full of determination. She won’t give up until she gets what she wants… and that is revenge. She will work hard just to get it. 

She didn’t attend their training session, instead, she slept early at night then early in the morning she will do her special training. Day by day, she became better and better. She understood how to preserve her breath and only took it sometimes.

She never stopped until she made it on top. She also got control of herself. Her training helped her to attain this restraint. With just a breath, her werewolf side was in control. Even when it comes out, she was still thinking straight. 

That’s not at all because even her speed was incredible. Serio tried her once, and he couldn’t keep up. Not because he was old, but because Angelique is better than him. 

“You are doing great, Angelique.” Conor and she just finished their one on one fight. Conor could also see her improvement. He was amazed and proud of her.

But…

It was still not enough to defeat her father. He was old which means he has more experience than Angelique. With just strength, you can not fight with him. 

“I know what you are thinking, Uncle,” Angelique said, interrupting him. She knew better than that. Her father is not just an enemy. He is cunning and a devil above the land. 

“But I know, you will exceed your father. Before White Fang Pack slowly vanishes, they’re best in fighting. They’re also cunning and vicious that was why the Goddess punished them. But now, they have changed and found their purpose.” Conor sat down near her. “Don’t worry. Serio has many training techniques under his sleeve.” 

“I know. It is just the beginning." She looked at Conor. “I have many years to cultivate myself. They are preparing for something else. So, I will take that year as a chance of improvement, Uncle.” 

Conor tapped her shoulder. “Don’t worry. We are just here to support you.” 

“I know,” she said then nodded. 

“So, I have to go. I have an appointment with my son. He will introduce to me her mate. At last, he already found the only person that can make him happy.” He was smiling, really a happy father

“Congratulations then, Uncle. Please, tell him my regards.” 

“Don’t worry. I will,” he said. “Bye for now.”

“Bye. Take care.” 

Angelique looked at him as he went home. She wished, for once, she had a father like him. How would it feel if she had a responsible father? Will her mother still be alive? 

She didn’t know. She signed. 

“Big sister, are you sad?" Pink asked, innocently. Angelique took her and let her sit on her lap. 

“I am not. I was just thinking about my mother,” she said and arranged Pink’s ponytail. 

“You have a mama?” There's a big smile on her face while remembering her foster parents. “I have mama once. But they took her.” 

Angelique looked at the young girl. They went through the same way and the difference is their age. But it was a traumatic experience for a young girl. No one can heal that wound. They will carry it until they grow old. 

“Do you want another mama? Someone on our pack now wanted to take you in.” Pink pouted at what she said. 

“Are you giving me to them?”

“I'm not,” Angelique replied fast. She didn’t want to upset the small kid. “It’s just maybe, you want a complete family.”

“I have a complete family now. I have Kimberly, Clark, Kevin, Hanzel, and of course, you." You can tell that she is proud of her family. That she chooses them than the others who can give her a mother and father figure. 

“Thank you for choosing us,” Angelique said. She kissed Pink’s head and hugged her small frame. 

The forest was in peace and the only noise that could be heard was coming from the running water. They stayed like that for a few minutes. A sisterly bond can be felt in both girls. 

Few more minutes, a voice interrupted them again. 

“Pink, I told you to get Big Sister because we are going to eat lunch. Also, elder Serio called for her.” It was Kevin. 

Pink lifted her heads up. “Oops! Sorry, Kevin. I forgot." 

Kevin just sighed. He couldn’t be mad at a small girl. 

“It’s alright.” He ruffled her hair. “Sister, let’s go back."

“Okay.”

They all went home and had a wonderful lunch. The kids were all happy and content to where they are now. But still, in their heart, they wanted to be with their family again. Still wishing they will see them again. Not now, but at the right time. 

Also, from that day, Angelique’s training got more challenging. 

She has training on water that almost drowns her, to the raging fire that almost ate her alive, and in the desert, cave, and mountain that almost made her crippled. It was so hard. Changing from one element to another, is like returning to the basics.

She also went on many dangerous adventures that made her werewolf side excited. For how many times, she almost lost. She also wanted to consume more meat because of this, and she was hungry, her werewolf side will come out to look for food. She almost killed the other if not for the tranquilizer that Conor ready for her. 

Every time, she felt sorry. But no one blamed her. Instead, they motivated her to do more. Which she really did.  

She also went through a great distraction. While she was meditating, loud music played around her. Her werewolf side finds it noisy and she wanted to stop it. It was so hard to control at first until she got the knowledge of how to shut down all noises around her and focus on just one sound. 

Because of her achievements, some also wanted to go through her training. So Serio gave the lesson to another instructor, but the same technique with Angelique. Serio gave them an explanation on what to do up there. But even though they have, it was still hard. A day of training for Angelique, took them six months to fulfill and they couldn’t stand long. 

They all went through it, together. Angelique was so grateful for it. She never thought that she can be a motivation for someone to work hard. Before she was just an insecure fat girl and now everyone admired her. She was changing not only her physical but also her mental. 

But of all the training, the hardest she went through when they corrupted her mind. They tied her up to make sure everyone is safe.

On a speaker, an evil laugh echoed around her. Her eyebrows knitted. She didn't know what was happening. 

“I will kill your sister,” said the man on the speaker. Then he laughed and at the same time, the cries of the kids were heard. 

“Sister, please, help us." Angelique got confused. She knew it was Kevin. 

“Sister," it was Kimberly. 

“Ahh, stop it hurts!" She knew it was Clark. 

“Please, stop!" cried Hanzel. 

“No! No! Sister!” It was Pink. 

It played again and again. Angelique became livid and wanted to cut off the tie and went out to save her family. 

“I will kill you!” she screamed as she rocked the chair. She needed to go get out and kill those who hurt her family. 

They all get ready their tranquilizer to shoot her. They all became afraid. Didn’t know what to do. 

Angelique kept on screaming. She became stronger. That was frightening. 

What will she do to save her family? Or she will harm people around her? What will they do to stop her?
