Chapter 30

"Tch!" Leo groaned in annoyance. He couldn't believe that he had to be placed in such a difficult choice. On the one hand he couldn't break the pack rule. But on the one hand, he couldn't just ignore his family who was in such a state of danger.

"I know this is very hard for you, Leo! But right now the only thing you can do is entrust everything to Sera!"

"How can I trust him? When he's the one who needs help the most right now. Nathaniel, he must have possessed her. Forced her to do everything he wanted and in the end, he just took advantage of Sera's feelings for him!"

"A demon like him is truly second to none, that's why I marvel at your prowess for repeatedly defeating him. Therefore, Keith! This time try to believe in yourself. Because only you can defeat him!"

"Leo? Jean?" Sofia said calling the two men.

"Sofia? What's wrong?" Ask Jean.

"Father asked me to call the two of you. We need to have a meeting to discuss a possible attack plan that David and his pack will carry out!" Sofia said. Keith and Jean looked at each other for a moment. They seemed to have guessed what was going on.

They then walked towards the hut where Claude and their herd had gathered. The atmosphere was tense, there was concern that clearly radiated from their faces. It seemed they already knew how tough their current opponent was. David, who has managed to unite the three flocks, is certainly a difficult opponent for them. Especially if it was true that Charles and his vampire family teamed up with them, this could be the most difficult and the most impossible battle for them to win.

"Are you feeling any better, Keith?" Claude asked while looking at Keith seriously. He knew that Keith had thought several times about returning to town.

"I'm fine, Master Claude!" He said while looking down for a moment to show his respect.

"Thank goodness for that! I don't want you to even think about returning to town when this ritual isn't over yet, Keith!"

"I see! I'm sorry for causing concern. I'm really sorry!"

"I understand that you are very worried about your family, Keith! That is natural. But you must also remember the risk that you and all of us must bear if your predatory instincts get out of control while you are in a human environment. think we're part of a fairy tale. Therefore let them think that we are not real because it will only harm us. But now there are things that are far more important, David and the vampires decided to work together!" he said. Everyone in the room looked shocked and scared even though they had known the possibility.

Five years ago they had won the battle against David and his gang. But in the last few years, David has become so much stronger that he is almost overpowered. He defeated the leaders of the three famously strong flocks. I don't know what made him so strong, but what is clear is that he managed to expel Claude's herd from American soil.

"I really don't understand what made Charles and the vampires decide to work with them. I'm sure David already knows who Charles really is. He is a very cunning creature and has the heart to eradicate anyone who dares to oppose his ambitions.

"I'm sure they already know each other's goals. So far the relationship between werewolves and vampires has not been going well because we both have certain goals. Charles, he is very strong. I don't want you to let your guard down. very sneaky, he can get into your mind and wash your mind into submission to him. I'm sure once he gets what he wants he will definitely betray David. That's why I hope you all stay alert because we don't know, anytime we attacked!"

Elen is sitting in the waiting room of the hospital, since Rosie died yesterday at the lake, mother's soul is still so shaken that she has to be hospitalized. Just two days after her husband died, now her youngest daughter is also gone, which breaks her heart even more, Rosie died by suicide. All of that was proven by the letter he left on the table in Elen's room, the letter was clearly his handwriting.

Dear mother

Mom, I really miss dad. I'll go after him. Don't be sad, Mother! Because from now on, I will accompany Father in heaven.

I love you.
Rosie


And to further substantiate the suspicion that Rosie committed suicide, she took her beloved teddy bear with her and on the night of her death, there was no screaming at all.

Elen looked down sadly, beside her, Sam sat without saying anything as if he still couldn't believe what had happened. Jimmy was still at home with his grandmother and Uncle John and Aunt Margarth.

"Ellen?" Sam called him to break Elen's daydream.

"What?'"

"You are okay ?"

"Yeah, I'm fine!" he said in a weak voice.

“Elen, now I just realized that I really am a useless big brother. I can't take care of mom, you, Jimmy and Rosie. I really am a useless man.” he said.

"But at least you're much better than me."

"Why is that?"

“Before father died, when our family was fine, but I very rarely spent time with you guys. I was selfish, now I'm sorry after dad and Rosie left." Said Elen with a dreamy look.

"Never mind, it's not all your fault!"

"Sam, I killed Rosie's father and father!" said Elen suddenly, Sam was surprised he didn't believe what Elen said.

"W-what do you mean?"

“I killed them, I cut the power lines and spilled water on the floor until dad was electrocuted and died. I also drowned Rosie in the lake, I did it! I killed them!" shouted Elen losing control, she was so stressed and depressed.

"Stupid!" Sam shouted while giving Elen a slap in the face, the girl was silent for a moment.

"Because father and Rosie's deaths were so urgent, now you want to blame yourself?"

"You don't understand Sam, you don't understand!"

“That's enough, Ellen! I don't want to hear anymore."

"Sam, please!"

“Elen, if you say that again then I won't hesitate to slap you again. You understand ?" Sam said, he decided to go calm down.

"Where are you going, Sam?" asked Ellen.

"You wait here, I want to buy food!"

"B-but I-"

"Elen, this time I beg you to listen to me! Just this once! After that, it's up to you! I don't care anymore. But I beg of you this time, please listen to what your brother has to say! Do you understand?"

"Yeah, alright Sam! I understand! But please don't be away for too long and if you hear anything strange, get as far as possible and save yourself!"
