"I can't stop thinking about a jerk like him! How could he cut me off when the wedding was tomorrow? What about the guests who have been invited? My parents?" said a girl in a low voice.
The girl's face looks very sad. The girl has just been decided by her lover, and even worse, tomorrow their wedding will be held. Wouldn't that make Raline embarrassed?
"Where should I go? I don't think I can go back there when the event takes place tomorrow. Married without a groom?" muttered the girl in a desperate tone.
Unknowingly, drop by drop, Raline's tears rolled down her smooth cheeks because she felt embarrassed and also did not want to show her face again to her friends and relatives. The girl ran aimlessly into the forest area.
Indeed, before releasing her bachelor days, she and her friends wanted to build tents in a forest quite far from the countryside. Of course, Raline's future husband and friends also joined.
But suddenly Raline's boyfriend said that he had broken up with Raline. At first, Raline didn't believe everything was just bullshit. The wedding is only tomorrow, and how can her courtship say that? Therefore, Raline thinks it's just a joke.
#
But in fact, what her boyfriend said was true, ah, to be precise, ex-boyfriend. He asked Raline to break up her relationship, which had been going on for years. She doesn't know what made her ex-husband-to-be decide on her. It was clear Raline's feelings were sick, not to mention the embarrassment that must be borne by himself and her extended family.
Raline kept running more profoundly into the forest. Raline hoped she could disappear from this world immediately so she wouldn't be ashamed. Yes, it seems like disappearing isn't such a bad idea. Disappear from this world for a moment.
The girl's feet kept walking, hitting all the leaves before her. But Raline's steps stopped when she saw an apparent mirror. "Whose mirror?" thought Raline.
"Is there anyone here?" In Raline's monologue to herself, the girl's head was looking around for someone. But in this forest, there is no one. This made Raline more curious. Then whose glass? Who put the glass here?
The mirror also looked clean, like new. Raline, curious, just got closer to the mirror, which caught her attention. Raline looked at herself, who was messed up through the mirror, with puffy eyes, messy hair, and don't forget the sweat pouring down her face.
"Tomorrow should be my happy day wearing a wedding dress," said the girl.
But what can she do? Now it's all just wishful thinking. Raline exhaled heavily. After that, she was about to touch her face through the reflection of the mirror in front of her.
But Raline couldn't feel anything, as if her hand could penetrate the mirror. Raline immediately pulled her hand back and took a few steps backward to make Raline fall to the ground.
"What was that?" she asked herself. Raline saw her hand, which was still intact as usual, but Raline was sure that earlier, her hand could penetrate the mirror.
Raline, increasingly curious about us, got up from her seat and stood in front of the mirror again. Now Raline put her hand back into the mirror, and sure enough! The mirror cannot be touched.
Raline pulled her hand again, and her hand was normal with great curiosity. Finally, Raline entered the mirror. Raline didn't feel anything at all, but she felt like she was in a different world.
She doesn't know, but it's extraordinary. Raline stared at all corners of the forest. This time, the forest was different from a few minutes ago. This time the forest she saw was very dense with trees that seemed to have lived for hundreds of years.
"Where am I?" she asked with a hunting breath.
Raline timidly stepped her feet to investigate this forest. Her body was always on alert to protect herself whenever a wild animal was ready to pounce on her.
Raline tightly squeezed her clothes when she heard the howling of wild animals. Where exactly is she? Why is this place so scary?
The howling of the wolf was heard again, making Raline scared. Raline immediately put her body on alert. Raline's eyes suddenly caught a bunch of wild stars that were now walking toward her.
"Wolf!" Shouted Raline with a body that was already shaking. Will her life end here?
The wolf was getting closer to Raline with its increasingly clear howl. There are not only one or two wolves, but several. Will this time Raline be finished by the beast?
Raline tried to run as hard as she could, but the wolves didn't seem to allow Raline to escape. The hungry wolves kept coming towards Raline, following where Raline ran.
Raline's breath was running fast. Who knows how much longer she will be able to run like this? Her tears have also dropped while the beautiful girl's face has turned white. "God, please help me!"
Raline kept running while chanting prayers to survive the beast's pursuit. Raline, who felt she could no longer run, hid behind a big tree. She doesn't know. Raline is tired, for now, to run again; she is not strong enough.
If you continue to be forced to run, Raline might faint. But Raline's calm only lasted a few minutes. Raline stiffened again when the wolves found her. Now the distance between her and the wolf is not far. Oh, god, is this the end of Raline's life?
Raline kept walking backward to escape the wolves chasing her, but the conditions didn't support her for the news. Behind her, there were already several wolves. She could say the herd of beasts was now surrounding Raline.
"What else is this? Am I going to end up here?" she mutteretremblinglyce.
Raline was scared. The beast was also quite big, twice that of Raline's body, even three times that of Raline's. It seems there is no hope for Raline to run away from the pursuit of these hungry wolves.
The wolves were getting closer to Raline. The wolves compactly surrounded Raline, which made the girl limp in place. It felt like Raline was no longer strong enough to support her weight. Raline squeezed her clothes tightly. It seems that choosing to hide was a big mistake. Raline should have just kept running if it was like this.
"Y-you? N-no! Impossible!" Raline shouted hysterically.
"Y-you? N-no! Impossible!" Raline shouted hysterically.
Raline stared in disbelief at what she saw. The wolf had turned into a human. Isn't it horrifying? Raline is increasingly afraid of her current condition.
"Are you saying a prayer for God to help you?" asked one of the wolves with his scary smile.
Raline is afraid of her current situation. How can they change their shape as they see? Are they creatures?
"What do you guys want? Why are you chasing me?" Raline asked with a trembling tone.
"Holy blood," said one of the women looking hungrily at Raline. Of course, that made Raline even more afraid of them.
"What do you mean?" Raline asked.
The werewolves changed at will as if they were playing Raline. Some of the wolves compactly continue to change form from humans to wolves. This, of course, made Raline even more hysterical.
"What are you doing?" Raline shouted with fear.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time," said one of the wolves. Many werewolves surrounded her, and Raline was confused by their appearance.
"Please let me go!" Raline said, pleading with the crowd of wolves.
"Release you? Seriously! We've been waiting for a long time, and what did you say? Release? Don't silly!" said the wolf woman staring at Raline with a sharp gaze.
A lone wolf is now running around Raline, which makes Raline's nether follow the wolf's direction. Raline felt dizzy when the wolf kept spinning around Raline.
"Playing a little, we find it very fun, don't you think?" Raline could faintly hear the wolf's voice, but Raline was grateful to know who said those words.
When it was enough to make Raline dizzy, the wolf stopped and looked at Raline lightly.
"You like our welcome?" asked the wolf who had just circled Raline's body.
"What do you want? Please let me go. This is a dream, right?" asked Raline to the wolves.
"You can only hope that this is a dream." Raline was getting scared in her place.
The girl knelt on the ground because she felt dizzy in her head. Raline looked for a gap even though her head felt very dizzy.
She could see someone walking towards her, now that someone was right in front of her. The person immediately crouched in front of Raline. Actually, what do they want from Raline? It still feels like a dream.
Actually, where is Raline this time? It seems that God heard Raline's words that she wanted to disappear from her world, but why is the world she is visiting so strange this time?
Why are there so many wolves and changing human form? Are they werewolves? But isn't that only in fairy tales? Or just stories. It feels impossible to be in the real world!
Something is wrong here. Yes, something is wrong! Raline tries her best to wake up from her dream, but no matter how significant Raline's efforts are, it's all in vain. What happened to her seemed very real and not like a dream.
The man inhaled Raline's scent so profoundly, as if Raline was giving off a scent so fragrant that it invited them to chase Raline.
"Very fragrant..." said the person.
"It's useless for you to hide from us. Just look at your scent. It's so tempting, so delicious," he continued.
This, of course, made Raline confused. Aroma? What scent is being referred to? Raline didn't even use anything on her bandage.
"What do you mean exactly?" Raline asked confusedly.
"The scent of holy blood," he replied.
"What do you mean, huh? What holy blood? Don't be ridiculous! I don't know who you are. I was here by accident," said Raline, who ventured.
Afraid? Of course, Raline was very scared, but Raline wouldn't know if she didn't dare to say this to this strange human. Half werewolf. This is the first time Raline has seen this in her life. It still feels like a dream.
Raline didn't expect something like this to exist in real life. Even now, they were surrounding Raline's body as if they were ready to eat Raline's meat together.
"You are what we are waiting for," continued another wolf.
Wait? Why are they waiting for Raline? Raline's head was getting dizzy when she heard their words. Raline, who saw the gap, swiftly immediately stood up from her position and immediately ran as hard as she could.
Raline felt relieved when the crowd of wolves now only stared at Raline without chasing her again. Of course, this made Raline happy, and Raline used the opportunity as best she could to escape them.
Raline's steps continued to run through the forest, which was somewhere. Raline did not stop even to take a breath for a moment.
In the end, the girl's air supply continued to write, which forced her to stop. Her throat also felt very thirsty. Raline looked back and luckily found no one there.
But when he faced forward again, the wolf crowd was already in front of Raline. Of course, Raline was surprised by that. Since when were they there?
"Already exhausted?" mocked one of the werewolves to Raline. On the next street, the crowd of wolves laughed at Raline. That girl's fate is unfortunate. It looks like Raline has to say goodbye to the world.
"What do you want? Why have you been playing with me since earlier?" asked Raline breathlessly. So the run was in vain? If she knew like this, maybe Raline wouldn't run like this if this crowd of werewolves was still chasing her.
"You asked us to play, weren't you? You run yourself."
"Please ... let me go from here, I beg you," said Raline, joining her hands at chest level.
Raline wasn't sure they would just let Raline go quickly, but what's wrong with trying? Because there is no other way that Raline can do it. No matter how far Raline wants to run, they will be caught again.
Come on, let's respond, don't take too long! We have clocked up too much time to get that girl to play!" said someone not far from Raline.
"I beg you, don't kill me," said Raline, who kept begging.
Raline hopes they feel sorry for Raline and just let her go. Yes, let's hope. That's Raline's hope.
"I told you, don't expect us to let you off!" Raline closed her eyes tightly. Raline's hope was dashed to ask to be released.
It seems they won't just let Raline go. Maybe this is the end of Raline's life. Raline closed her eyes. It seemed she could not see herself being torn to death by the wolves.
"Ah..."
"Ah ..." Raline screamed, feeling pain in the wrist. Raline opened her eyes slowly and found one of the werewolves gripping Raline's hand tightly.
Raline tried to rebel, but that only made Raline's grip on her wrist even stronger.
Raline closed her eyes again when she felt the grip on her wrist getting stronger.
"Stop!"
Raline could faintly hear someone's voice as if interrupting the pack of wolves surrounding Raline. Either, Raline did not know for sure what and who it was. The girl kept her eyes closed.
"Alpha..." said the wolves. Some also bowed respectfully to the one he called Alpha.
"What are you doing? Quick, let him go!" he ordered.
"But Alpha Charles, we ju-"
"Let go!" said a person called Alpha Charles with absolute certainty, as if he did not want to accept a rebuttal.
Someone who held Raline's hand obediently immediately released her grip. How could they dare to go against the orders of their leader, their king?
If someone has become an Alpha, of course, the strength they have is not half-hearted. Raline opened her eyes slowly. It felt like she was in a dreamland. Raline backed away slowly when the crowd of wolves surrounded her again.
"What's wrong, Alpha? Shouldn't this be what we should be doing?" asked one of the wolves.
"This is my business. Quickly you guys go!" their leader ordered.
Of course, the wolves surrounding Raline did not accept their king's decision. Many questions seemed to pop up in their heads about the change in Alpha's attitude. But what can they do as ordinary people?
After all, Alpha's words were complete orders. Therefore, they inevitably have to let Raline go.
Raline breathed a sigh of relief when the wolf targeting her was now a little away from her.
"Get out of here. I'll take care of that girl," repeated Alpha.
"Okay, Alpha .." said the wolves in unison. A moment later, the werewolves changed back into beasts and then ran away from Raline.
Raline was still trying to regulate her hunting breath. She felt a little relieved when the crowds of beasts were no longer chasing her.
"I'm Carles..." said an Alpha who introduced himself to Raline.
Carles? Ah, who cares about the name of hell? All Raline wants is to leave here right now. Raline wants to disappear to avoid problems instead of finding more complicated problems like this.
"What's your name?" he asked. But Raline ignored Charles's words. The girl continued to stare at Charles with concern. Afraid that a new problem is now coming back to him.
After all, Charles is a wolf, and Raline fears the wolf will pounce on her. Raline once read an article about the nation of wolves having an Alpha or often called a king. And all Alpha's words they must obey. Don't forget that Alpha has ten times the strength of its people.
This made Raline even more afraid. What if, at this time, Alpha would tear her body apart? Blood, of course, is after Raline's blood. But what did he say? Holy Blood? Raline is confused by this.
What is the concept of holy blood that they mean, and why is it in Raline? Isn't that very strange and unreasonable?
Charles walked closer to Raline. It made Raline afraid. Raline kept backing away when she saw Charles, who stepped closer.
"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you," Charles said.
Won't it hurt? What's that bullshit? And who believes in such boasting? Of course, Raline doesn't believe it! Even his people almost accepted Raline and wanted to tear him apart, so what now? Won't it hurt?
"Do not come close!" Raline shouted with mixed feelings.
"I won't hurt you, don't worry," Charles said confidently.
But Raline doesn't believe in that at all. After all, Charles is a beast. Can it be trusted? But if you can, maybe Raline won't just believe it easily. It could be a trick so that Raline falls into the trap.
Raline searched all over to find the mirror that had brought her here. Raline had time to check the mirror right at the location when this unknown nature carried her away. But the mirror is not there at all.
So Raline keeps looking for it. Maybe the mirror is around here, right?
"What are you looking for? What's missing?" asked Charles as he stepped closer to Raline.
"I beg you, don't, come closer!" Raline shouted again loudly.
Carles' calm demeanor only made Raline even more afraid of him, but Charles kept moving his feet to get closer to Raline.
"Calm down, I won't hurt you," Charles said again, looking at Raline closely as if he convinced the girl that he would not hurt Raline.
But Raline didn't believe that. The girl walked backward and immediately turned around, leaving Charles still looking for the mirror that brought her here.
"Oh, come on! In Amna, the mirror, I can't stand being here anymore. I don't want to die ridiculously here," Raline said tremblingly. Of course, it didn't escape Charles' view. Charles sauntered behind Raline. At the same time, Raline was like a person who was confused and looking for something.
"What exactly are you looking for?" Charles asked again.
"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you. If that's the case, why didn't I pounce on you earlier? Have you forgotten that I saved your life?" asked Charles while walking, following Raline's small steps.
Raline stopped her steps and looked at Charles with a bit of courage. "What do you want?"
"Nothing, I just saved you," replied Charles.
"Then get away from me now!"
"You want to go back to being their target?" Charles asked, looking at Raline, confused.
"How is it different from you, who also targets me?" Raline asked.
Raline kept walking away, searching for the strange mirror; however, she had to return to her world. Yes, the world she was living in was extraordinary.
"I helped you, and why are you still afraid of me?"
How could she not be afraid if the one in front of her this time was a werewolf? Akh, it felt like Raline wanted to punch the face of the man in front of her and run as fast as she could. But all just wishful thinking. She still loves her life.
"You know the mirror?"
"Know," replied Charles with a look in his eyes that stared at Raline sharply.
