Chapter 18. Kidnapped
Right now Rose was alone in the room. Tom was gone 1 hour ago. Her feelings were very worried, she was worried about what Tom was doing.
Rose glanced at the clock on the wall that hung cutely in her room. The clock shows 1 in the morning. But she couldn't fall asleep at all.
Especially when Millie is still at home. She's scared!
Rose thought Millie was an ordinary human, how could she not? She is a werewolf who of course can pounce on her child and herself at any time when she wants or Rose is off guard.
Rose took Leo into her lap, Leo's calm face was able to warm Rose's heart, just like Tom's. Rose kissed her son's chubby cheeks to reduce his anxiety.
But her activities stopped when she found Millie opening the door to Rose's room.
Millie stopped when she found Rose staring at her in fear.
Millie tried to lighten the mood, the woman tried to smile at Rose, but Rose ignored her.
Rose hugged her child even tighter as if she was protecting her.
“Hey, calm down. I won't hurt you," Millie said to the mother of one.
Rose didn't pay attention to her anymore, the woman was still standing Millie as if she was on alert.
Millie exhaled tiredly, what way should Rose not be afraid of her anymore?
"May I come in?"
Silence! No answer from Rose. Millie who saw that was a little annoyed. She's not a bad person, so why is his female friend so afraid of her? Even though Millie just wanted to be friends with her.
"I won't hurt you, Rose, I also don't want to be killed by my husband if I know you're hurt because of me," Millie explained.
Rose looked at Millie who was in the doorway with a frown. What did she just say? After all, Tom could also pounce on her at any time!
Rose still didn't want to answer Millie's words. But Millie got closer to Rose, the woman entered Rose's room which made Rose even more alert, and hugged her child tightly.
“Hey, calm down. I won't hurt you, don't act like I'm a criminal. I swear I will not hurt you, Rose, I promise I will protect you. Oh yes, let me introduce myself Millie, and the man who went with your husband earlier is Nathaniel, he is my boyfriend,” explained Millie even though Rose had not paid any heed to her earlier.
“I know, you must be very surprised, shock might also hit! But what you should know is that your husband loves you, Rose,” said Millie again.
"Is it true you are wolves?" asked Rose in the end.
Rose had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but those questions seemed like they didn't want to come out. Her mouth felt tight and scared, afraid that one day they would pounce on her. No matter what their true form is a wolf.
"Yes! Finally, you want me to talk to you, Rose! We are half-werewolves, and we also have a kingdom in Megana. There's a werewolf guild over there, and you know what? All of Megana's residents left the palace, as well as Tom, me, and Nathaniel," explained Millie, which made Rose even more confused.
Confused, of course!
Megana? Palace? Werewolves? What does it all mean? All Rose knew was sheer fiction. It won't happen in the real world. But this time what she experienced was beyond expectations. How can half-werewolves live in the real world?
It was her husband!
She also saw her husband changing form from human to wolf. Isn't that so terrible? So who wouldn't be surprised if something like this happened right in front of your eyes?
"Then, why did you go from where? Megana?" asked Rose to make sure.
Millie then took a comfortable position, the woman sat on the bed, right next to Rose. "You know? it's unpleasant there! it's as if we are enslaved by Arcyl, the ruler of the palace” Rose explained soberly.
It's true, the werewolves were fed up with Arcyl's arbitrary behavior, therefore some of them chose to run away from the palace. It's better to hide than to be open to Arcyl all the time.
Being Arcyl's slave was not a problem, it was just arbitrary, and as if with power Arcyl did whatever he wanted.
Some of them also want to know the activities of the human race. Want to know what human life is like? Besides that, they also easily accept if they want to drink human blood, even human flesh.
Live freely, and lots of food can be eaten, such as chicken, goat, and so on. They could steal it and suppress it voraciously without having to wait for Arcyl's decision.
"So that's why you came here?" asked Rose to make sure.
Millie paused, it wasn't this, and it wasn't us they were like this. Once every 10 years, they would go out to hunt for sacred blood. Which blood is capable of making anyone who drinks it stronger and invincible. It can even prolong life and cure all kinds of diseases.
So many werewolves are after the holy blood, and right this year, the holy blood is in Rose's body. Rose has also been made completely by Tom to be hers. Nothing more to look forward to.
It still is! But the possibility is small because only Tom can take the holy blood. After all, that man already has Rose completely.
Even the two have love!
So what else to expect with holy blood? The chances are already very small. Only Tom!
Tom has power over Rose.
"Many, ah! Where should I start telling my story?” asked Millie, confused.
Look! The two of them are now very close, right?
Even though just now the two women looked very awkward, only Rose to be precise. But somehow both of them have started to get along with each other. Of course, Millie is happy, she has a new friend, moreover, her friend is her best friend's lover, Tom. Precisely the woman.
"Is my son also like you?" she asked carefully.
Rose is thinking about the fate of her child, will Leo be like her husband?
Because Rose saw Leo as a duplicate of Tom. Very similar! It seemed that the male gene was passed on to all Leo.
“Y-yes! your child is still a human,” said Millie nervously.
How to explain this to Rose? What if Rose doesn't accept it when her child becomes a descendant of a wolf?
"Is it true?" he asked to make sure.
Rose didn't believe Millie's words either, she was just making sure. Because the look on Millie's face is so unconvincing! Rose knew Millie just wanted to calm Rose down.
“Erm, your child is still a human. But wolf blood flows in him,” said Millie carefully.
Gosh!
Rose's heart was beating twice as fast as usual. The woman couldn't imagine that Leo would turn into a wolf-like Tom. Millie, who saw the change in Rose's facial expression, felt uncomfortable. Because she just wanted to talk to her. But now she was silent again with a strained expression on her face.
“I-is he also a-going to eat meat?” asked Rose with a hunting breath.
Millie chuckled trying to lighten the mood.
Plus Rose's question is so cute!
Whether humans or not, they can still eat meat. "Yes everyone doesn't like to eat meat, Rose?" asked Millie making a statement also to Rose.
Rose, who heard Millie's words, took a deep breath, feeling that she was still dizzy, and talking to Millie made her even dizzier. "Rose, rest. Tom will be mad at me later if you get sick,” Millie said with concern.
Rose breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that Millie wasn't as evil as she thought. At least Rose can rest in peace. Rose put her son back to sleep beside her. She was really worried about Tom. She wants to hear how Tom is, but what can she do?
She couldn't do anything, just waiting for Tom to give her the information.
“Your son is handsome! I feel like I also want to have children,” Millie said, looking at Leo with sparkling eyes.
“That man, who? Your lover?” she asked
"Yes, his name is Nathaniel. Didn't I explain to you already?" Millie asked with a light laugh.
"I'm just making sure, then when will Tom be back?" she asked
Millie smiled seductively, “Do you miss that husband of yours? He just left, Rose. Just 3 hours ago, maybe they haven't arrived yet” explained Millie.
"Is it very far?" she asked again.
"Hmm, not bad either. Come on, rest, I'll take care of you and your child," said Millie.
Rose smiled faintly, it turned out that Millie was very good, not as bad as she thought. But still, Rose had to be on guard. "You are not resting?" she asked.
Because the woman said she would take care of herself and her son. So what about Millie? Is the girl not resting?
"Don't worry, I'm used to being on guard like this," Millie said with a sweet smile.
Rose was very grateful to that woman, she was about to get ready to rest, but when she was about to sleep, suddenly the howling of a wolf was heard again, which made Millie tense up.
“W-who is it? Has Tom come back yet?” asked Rose nervously.
"I don't know, but I'll take care of you, Rose. Calm down," Millie said.
Suddenly the bedroom door opened, revealing Robert who smiled grinning at the other end of the door. “Roberts!” Millie shouted frantically.
"What are you doing here?!" asked Millie frantically.
"Obviously for the holy blood," said Robert with a scary smile.
Robert came back again with a battered face, Millie thought Robert had gone far from here. But nothing! Robert is back again.
Suddenly Robert drags Rose from his bed, Rose struggles, but her strength is not as strong as Robert's. Millie quickly wanted to help Rose, but unfortunately, she was also not as strong as Robert.
Millie bounced until her back hit the wall hard enough. Because she heard the noise, Leo, the little man, woke up and cried loudly.
"Leo!" Rose said while trying to get rid of Robert's grip.
But quickly Robert grabbed Rose's hand and led her away. Robert ran as fast as the wind. Within seconds, Robert and Rose were out of sight. "Unlucky!" Millie cursed, and quickly the woman walked towards Leo who was crying.
