Chapter 23

"First, I'm not scaring you. You're the only one who thinks I'm scaring you, why not? You committed a crime. Scary right? But may I remind you Crisan, I'm not the same reign you used to know, you might be surprised You're the one on the brink of death. "
She glared at me, soon her palm quickly landed on my cheek.
"You can never do that! You're weak Reign! You're a loser and you'll never be able to do that!" He shouted angrily at me and stormed away.
My lips formed a slight curve as I wipe the blood on my lips.
We'll see, Crisanta, maybe I'm the one you can't handle.
I quickly walked into the room and no one said anything to enter, our instructor didn't say a word because of what I did. I looked at katelyn who was shocked to see me.
"You're okay now? Where are you from? Who took you? I'm worried!"
"Miss Ashley, quite!" sita of our instructor to him.
"Sorry."
The discussion goes on and right after our class I immediately left.
"Reign wait up ... where are you from? Who took you? I can't sleep last night to find you."
"Selene got me." he was momentarily silent.
"Selene?"
"Sage's older brother."
"A-what?"
"He got me to make sure I was okay."
"I didn't know that she cares for you?"
"Selene is really like that."
"Owkay! As long as us they're not harming you."
"They won't."
"Who knows."
"Are you suspecting them?"
"No, why would I? Hehe."
I couldn't even speak when we entered the Caf. Everyone was silent when they saw us entering, which surprised me.
"This is weird." I heard Katelyn murmured. I ignored that and just ordered something to eat, on my way to the corner when my eyes accidentally drifted on someone, he's not looking at me, he was quietly eating alone as if he didn't care about the surroundings. Of all the people here he became more noticeable because of his strange dating.
So he's really back.
I immediately averted my eyes before he turned around and went straight to a table and then sat down.
Katelyn followed me and we ate together
Even though I haven't eaten much, there is some liquid that has accumulated on my head. Damn! its a juice! and its fvcking cold.
I kept looking calm even when my hand was itchy from the person who made it.
Is there no one else? this is just a common way of bullying someone, bentang benta na tss.
I heard gasps and laughters that filled the whole cafeteria.
"Hey! Why did you do that ?!" Kately snapped out and screamed in anger. He was already standing and furiously facing the person who made me do this.
"The hell you care? Don't bother if you don't want the soup you're eating to be splashed on you."
"B*tch!"
"Katelyn ..." I threatened katelyn who stopped her at the beginning.
"Oh ... good dog, nice!"
I slowly looked at the woman standing next to me, I also slowly stood up and looked at my clothes that were also wet with the juice she poured on me.
Everyone fell silent at what I did. I smiled at him and quickly grabbed the handkerchief in his pocket and also quickly wiped it off my face and violently threw stones at his face.
"How dare you!" he angrily let me slap him but I quickly grabbed his hand and quickly took the juice in front of me then threw it at him.
"I don't like everyone who bothers my food, you even wasted juice. Oh, well I did too, but at least I used juice for you not water, in fact you don't deserve the juice, you're cheap." I heard Katelyn's laughter suppress, but she fell silent as I looked at her seriously. Then he turned to Crisan who was already simmering with anger.
"Whatever you do, you can't handle me anymore, Crisanta." I gave her my most cold stare as I look back to katelyn.
"Katelyn, lets go." When I said that, I took my gear and walked away, almost no one made any noise inside the caf. All that could be heard was Crisanta's furious scream and the sound of Katelyn and I walking.
Even before I could leave, I caught sight of a man staring coldly at me. I immediately averted my gaze and walked even faster.
"Are you going straight to the Cafe?"
"I'll go home first."
"All right, I'll be ahead of you."
"Hmm"
"Take care reign"
I first looked at him when he got into the taxi and I was left stunned in the waiting shed.
"Do you know where Katelyn works and lives?" I was suddenly startled to hear the conversation, they were a bit far away from me but I could hear their conversation clearly.
"That's what I heard in a cafe."
"Cafe, really."
"What are you up to?"
"Edi what's more, follow 'his' order to end that one and follow his treacherous family."
I never finished their conversation and quickly disappeared from where I was, in a flash I was in front of the cafe.
I tried to look around to make sure no one noticed me and when I made sure no one I hurried inside.
One of my staff greeted me, but my eyes are searching for katelyn.
When I did not succeed in seeing him, I was gradually swallowed up by some emotion.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"Where's katelyn?"
"Oh mam, after he opened the cafe, he said goodbye and left for a while and will come back, he said he forgot to bring something earlier."
Fvck.
I quickly ran out and hailed a taxi. I went straight home but I didn't find katelyn there.
Where are you?
I tried to call her but she didn't answer, I tried to call the cafe for update but katelyn is still nowhere to be found.
I don"t know anyone else where he"s going, to school? no. Only at home but without him.
She's in danger.
And this danger reminds me I need to find him. But how? who can help me.
Suddenly an image popped in my mind.
I closed my eyes tightly to see his face.
No, he will not be going to help.
but it's not bad if I try, is it?
I hurried to the place where I could go to him.
I was not mistaken.
I walked towards him, but even before I could get close, he quickly turned to face me, he was already in front of me and holding my neck.
When he recognized who I was he quickly let go of me as I fell to the floor.
"Leave,"
"I-I need your help" swallowing my pride isn't my thing but here I am and able to swallow pride for a wolf?
He looked at me the way he looked at those people he doesn't care about. The expression on its face soured as if I wanted to laugh.
"Why would I help you? You think this house is a police station, you'll ask for my help to find a missing dog?" That's when I finally looked up.
"How did you know that !?" he just smiled then turned his back on me.
"Leave this place, I am not going to help." and he quickly disappeared before me.
I felt heavy leaving her house.
Why did I even think he might help me, are you crazy reign? He's Sage! He will never help you.
But one more thing made me feel worse, how did he know that someone is missing?
Incapable...
I just hope you have nothing to do with this sage. Because I was ready to kill you when I found out you were behind it all.
I went back to the café selflessly. I waited outside hoping that in any minute katelyn will run towards me with her smile on her face like she will never see me in a year.
And I just end up disappointed.
The people were almost down because the night was getting darker but no katelyn came.
I closed the cafe with one of my staff, and one by one they said goodbye to me while I remained sitting outside and waiting.
Hours passed and when I was about to give up waiting and leave.
I heard a howl.
I listened carefully to the source then and quickly followed until I reached the forest.
It is far away from the town and there are very few vehicles passing on the highway next to the forest. I listened intently to its every howl and could hear the sounds that seemed to be fighting, the falling to the ground, the rustling of trampled branches and leaves. But sooner or later that noise gradually disappeared which made me even more nervous.
I tried to smell the air, and a kind of irritating smell filled my nose. A wolf. I quickly followed it and as I approached I heard a voice that seemed to be hurt and after I passed a tree the wounded and uncovered katelyn startled me.
"What the fvck? Katelyn!" I quickly approached him and picked up the clothes near where he was lying. She's not wearing her amulet anymore and that explain why I can smell her now. I quickly put on his clothes while listening to his every cry because of the wounds he sustained.
I tried to talk to her but she remained silent and I could only hear moans. He was so overwhelmed that he could hardly open his eyes. I tried my best to move faster, and even use my ability to bring her home in just a snap to be treated immediately. I could not take him to the hospital because of the unusual wounds he sustained. Like the reported victims I saw a few bites on the neck here. Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person because by chance he is also one of the headlines of the news today and his family is already supporting him.

But I also can"t say he"s safe because it happened.
I tried to call selene but it was busy so she preferred her cousin Zeus to go.
I first wiped him and dressed him, and soon I heard a series of knocks on the door. I quickly went to it and opened it, I was startled by the tall man with green eyes and brown hair.
"You might be Zeus?"
"Rexzeus Cooper Frost, nice to finally meet you Riley." I frowned at him and opened the door wide for him to enter.
"Katelyn is not okay, I hope you can do something to save her."
"I'll try my best, Riley."
"Its reign,"
"I bet everyone calls you that way, I prefer riley." I ignored that and walked first and he followed.
"Your friend?" I shook.
"Just a good classmate," He looked at me in disbelief.
"Really?"
"and she also works for me."
"I don't think so"
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing gorgeous, so let's see what I could do." He walked over to kately's side and sat there then took her hand and did something there.
I remained standing next to the door and just stared at him. Soon he stood up and frowned when he approached me.
"So how was it, How's her?"
"She will be fine now..but ..."
"What?"
"S-she's a wolf?"
"Yeah"
"You're keeping a wolf inside your house?"
"why is there a problem?"
"Are you crazy already?"
"Not yet"
"I am telling you riley, be careful, you are not an ordinary person but a wolf, wolves and vampires have never had a good relationship, who knows who the traitor is, both sides are both calling traitors. Wolves are traitors "And in their eyes, we are the traitor."
"I know, so if you're done you can go, thank you for helping." He just meaningfully looked at me and looked at Katelyn then came back to me again and quickly disappeared.
I feel like there is a lump in my chest that cannot be explained.
Suddenly something came back to my memory.
"Edi what's more, follow 'his' order to end that one and follow his treacherous family."
That exact line I've heard. And what zeus told me, just connected the knots I was trying to tied up.
I knew it, from the very start it was you.
I looked at katelyn again and quickly disappeared.
When I opened my eyes I was already inside a house I had been to several times. I immediately climbed to the top where I knew he was there and I was not mistaken.
"what the hell are you doing here again?" anger showed on his face but when he was angry I was more angry. Everything is enough, I will not let anyone fall victim to the next one.
"I knew it, all this time it was you." he raised an eyebrow and stepped closer to me, he's holding a glass of wine on his left hand.
"And what the heck are you saying?" He asked looking at his wine, he shook it slightly and sipped there and didn't want to look at me.
"Don't wake up Sage frost! I know how demon you are! So I won't be surprised you've been victimized and killed a lot." the corner of his lip rose as if amazed at what I was saying.
"What a confident little devil we have here, and since when did you learn how to judge someone without enough evidences?"
"Hah! I don't fvcking need it! It's really good that I didn't agree to marry you because you're a demon!" There the playful smile gradually disappeared from her lips and her gray eyes were replaced by red. What seemed to be black inks came out that looked like veins on his face and arm. He held the glass tightly with less wine and I was so shocked when he broke it with his own hand, I can see his blood oozing from the wounds he gets from breaking the glass, but he just didn't care. and remained staring at me. I winced as I witnessed, that was fvcking painful. He quickly threw some broken pieces in my direction which I quickly avoided and angrily stared at him.
"Right show me your true color Frost." I challenged him to make him even angrier.
"Don't make me harm you mcdemort, just fvcking leave my house and don't ever show your face or else I will make your blood ooze out of your body." He threatened so hard that I just laughed. How many times has he threatened me that nothing is happening, I was a little taken aback by the thought but that also disappeared when I saw his face.
"No, I won't do that unless I already killed you." I immediately ran our distance and quickly slapped his face, I saw the trace of nails there and little by little his blood flowed out of it. I was a little surprised that the wound he had healed quickly healed and went back to normal, I was about to grab his neck when he grabbed my neck first right before I made it. In a flash he lifted me into the air.
"How many times do I have to push you away ?! How many times do I have to tell you That I didn't !?" He violently threw me somewhere and hit my back on the wall, I immediately slid down and cried out in pain, I even cough and blood ooze from my mouth. He quickly approached me as his eyes glazed over and held me firmly by the jaw.
"I gave you chances to stay away, but I guess you underestimate me too much Mcdemort."
"k-whatever a-what do you say m-you! w-nothing a-I-have no one else to blame for everything n-happening k-but you !! you're the only one capable of doing all that evil!" I violently took his hand away and kicked him unprepared. He got up quickly and violently faced me.
"Shut the fvck up and quit your accusation towards me! Cause I am not the one who did any of that mess! How hard is that for you to understand ?!"
"Then how will you explain that bites and wounds ?!"
"The creature with the fang isn't just a vampire." it seemed like I was suddenly poured cold water on what he said. He chased after his breath and traces of anger were staring at me.
I step back as I tried to find words.
I looked at him again but he turned his back on me, even before he could leave he turned to me again and gave me a cold look.
"Leave reign, I don't want to see you anymore, I want this to be the last time you tried to fight me, because the next time I will regret it when I revived you."
I was so weak that the wind blew me away.
Fvck it! I was wrong all along? Your fool reigns.
I left quickly and hurried home.
I angrily opened the door and entered his room, but he was not there which made me more angry.
I quickly went down to the kitchen and he was shocked when he confronted me that I was already there. Even before he could speak I immediately grabbed his neck and he quickly leaned against the wall while lifting in the air.
I could see the gradual sharpening of my nails sinking into his neck.
"R-reign ... I-I c-can't ... b-breath..aack!"
"Shut up! I trusted you! I even let you in! In this fvcking house! Give you a job, let you stay by my sidetapos you just betray me ?!"
"W-what a-are --- ackk! Y-you s-saying?"
My eyes glazed as I stared at him violently stoned.
I could hear the force of the impact and her weak moan because of the pain.
I quickly approached him and violently grabbed his clothes approaching me.
"What's the real score huh? Katelyn? Did your family send you here so you could kill me? And you just let it out that you were kicked out ?!" I greeted my teeth as I saw pain drawn on her face.
"I didn't lied ... please let me explain..I'll explain to you everything." I was shocked to see her tears flow one after another.
I quickly let him go and then stood up and immediately turned my back on him. Her sobs filled my ears and remembered everything she have done for me. At times I was struggling because of the penalty made by the contract. She was there, she never leave my side, when I need her the most.
"Fix yourself, let's talk in the living room, I'll give you one last chance to be honest with me and if you dare to lie again, I'll kill you and send your cold body to your family." I coldy said and quickly exited.
I tried to calm myself in a way that I shut my eyes firmly.
Reign you're not like them, calm your ass. Killing is not the best thing, you only have to kill those piece of shits that made you suffer in hell and not that stinky dog.
As I closed my eyes, I heard his weak footsteps approaching me. I clenched my fist and forced myself to wake up. She was looking down when she sit infront of me.
She stared at me with her teary eyes. I felt annoyed so I sat up and folded my arms in front of him.
"Cut the crap and speak."
"I didn't k-know w-where to start."
I narrowed my eyes at him and was violently blown away by the wind.
"I want to hear everything, but before that I want to know about what happened to you, is that a show?" I said mockingly.
"N-no ... please I can't betray you." she tried to touch me but I immediately avoided, so she slowly returned to her sitting position.
"Really .." I tried my best to male my tone plain but it turns out to be sarcastic. Ewan, my trust for other people is really diminishing, maybe that's why it's too hard for me to touch certain people again.
"Those who tried to kill a-me t-they are wolves too." I showed no emotion to him, I just kept staring and listening.


"But we are different." that's where my attention was finally taken away.
"I admit, the reason why I'm here is all planned. Before I came here that night I was approached by someone." Frowning at what he said.
"Its not because I will harm you, but to protect and to guard you."
"My family works with vampires, in a very rich and powerful family, the family of frosts. It's been a few years since my grandfather reconciled with the then sitting king of vampires, Sage's grandfather. Reconciled. I still remember how sage's grandfather accepted that on one condition, my grandfather would fight him. When the fight was over and they both got wounded it was announced that of the sage's grandfather the reconciliation of two opposing creatures. "
"Until the death of both leaders and were replaced by the sage's father while ours was replaced by Dad. But like other things happening, there were wolves and vampires who disagreed with what happened, believing the wolf and vampire never There are others who just keep quiet in the distance, and can't be called enemies but can't be called allies. Only our family is left here to work in the frosts and my dad as the chief guard, who became a close friend of dad is a sage. "
"Like I said, there were those who disagreed with what happened and were angry with our family. They were the rebel wolves. They called us traitors and they never stopped us, they often made a fuss and tried to kill one of the family members are also not unaware of the fact that even among vampires there is conflict. And those wolf rebels are responsible for all the killings and riots in the town. "
"So they are the one who tried to kill you?"
"Yes,"
"Because you're an ashley, that's why" somehow I lost my temper with her.
To be continued...
