She walked downstairs to reach the living room, and she found other three people from Neleva. She recalled the first day she saw them at the ceremony they looked very serious but now did they smile at her?
One of them cleared his throat "From now on you are allowed to be formal with us, this is your home..."
"Don't you have anything to do?" they heard a strong voice from the upper stairs

They lifted their eyes and saw Dylan with murderous look.
"We do. A lot" saying that immediately dashed away
Radella lifted her eyes again which locked with Dylan.
He stared at her for seconds then turned to walk away.
'Are all neleva people this strange?'
'He is... somehow different'

'What different'
'Before him, we used to have a bastard and emotionless demon in charge here. He killed many of our fellow werewolves. We never lived this peaceful'
From those words, Radella turned her eyes to Dylan's room.
"However he made me clean this house that still cruel. if I will never cut his hair before I leave here then I am not a witch's princess"

'Why do you keep swearing to cut his hair?'
'I want to see how he looks like with short hair before I leave'
She put her hands on her waist as she stared at the huge house which she has to clean up.
"He is really joking with me"
At that moment she saw Juliette lingering outside. Radella smiled especially when was the one she called her.
She walked outside and looked at her
"You finally came"
Juliette gasped cause she thought a demon but even when she realized was Radella her eyes widened.
Surprised to see her at the demon's mansion and she witnessed what she could do during a match.
"You did great with your long legs at the tournament. I was planning to chop them"
Juliette averted her gaze as she couldn't dare reply.
'Would be more fun if Lysha joined her'
'You only care about your love rivals. But I love that idea'
Not so long they got in. Juliette was her first time so she hesitated.
"I will forgive you this once" said Radella as she turned to her with her crossed arms "After you made this house shine"
Her eyes furrowed "What?"
"clean the entire house. I can only help you by bringing you a partner"
Later on, Radella headed to Rebecca's house. She wanted to find a way to fix her mistakes so she thought might find something in the book.
She knocked a couple of times but was replied with silence. She pushed the door slightly and the door opened, so she stepped inside.
The house was silent with no one inside so she started searching for the book.
She glanced at the chair she sat on last night and found nothing then she made her way to the bedroom, but no matter where she searched wasn't there.
'perhaps you left somewhere else' suggested Elaine
"And where might be?. I will figure it out. Does this pack have a library?"
'Ye ... maybe'
Radella wanted to leave but her eyes landed on a table with many bottles. She got closer with a thought might be wine then she took one of them.
"Smell good" smile spreading on her lips
'Are you sure is what you are thinking? I told you this woman isn't a normal wolf'
"Poison never killed me" She took two of them and put in a bag she found inside and walked outside.
Not so long she arrived in front of a building and was told was the library. The small building that she almost thought wasn't. She stepped to the door to find locked.
She used her magic and the door opened then got inside.
Only after she stepped in started coughing. The room filled with dust seeming rarely visited and weren't a lot of books.
Her jaw dropped. "Do this pack read?"
'Rowan likes to read and has a huge library in his house'
She walked to one of the shelves and grabbed one of the books. He read the cover written 'Eclipse pack'
'That is our pack name'
She opened to random pages only to find talked about the glorious days ever happened years ago.
Every book she held were about things that happened at Eclipse pack. She glanced at the whole room and saw a book the cover wasn't about the pack but demons' invasion.
She started reading. The words explained demons' motives to rule the world, their incredible strength, and everything they could do.
From the book, demons could change into huge beasts and have magic which made them the strongest of any being.
That made her understood why werewolves worshipped them. They didn't fear them more to protect themselves.
At the end of the book written the author name Rebecca.
She recalled Elaine once told her Rebecca could see what others couldn't. She put the book in the bag.
Later on, she came out of the library. She wanted to find something helpful in books but the library had nothing.
She came to a halt as thought strayed in her mind. If demons were able to take over packs what about her home? as the book said their goal was to rule the world then sooner or later they had to face the same situation.
'I have to become stronger'
'You already you are'
She shook her head 'Stronger enough to fight demons'
Suddenly she heard a loud thud as if something huge collapsed. She was curious about what could be so she rushed to see what was going on. Only to find was Nala's house.
After the house endured for so long finally reached its limits.
Unexpectedly, her hand grabbed and pulled to land on someone's chest. She was caught off guard especially when the only two men ever hugged her in her whole life, her father and brother.
She freed herself but her ears changed color.
"Are you alright?" Rowan with a worried expression asked
"I... I am" for a moment she stammered but when her mind recalled who was Rowan she returned her mind "What are you doing here?"
Rowan's eyes deepened "Are you blind? what if you were inside do you know how much that thought terrified me?"
"I can..."
He grabbed her wrist dragging her.
"What are you doing? let go of me"
"You are moving into my house"
"What?! stop" struggling to set her hand free "Why are doing this?" frustrated she asked
Rowan stopped and gazed to her "I guess I didn't make it clear" he got closer and stared right at her "You... belong to me"
She was priceless and lost for words. "I thought you didn't need her"
"There wasn't a moment I never needed you and I still do and I don't think I can keep pretending not to anymore"
Radella could tell the man was sincere with his words but that was Nala's part. Besides no matter how sincere he was, were many things she thought he didn't deserve Nala.
"You are such a jerk..."
Before she could finish her words cut from something soft landed on her lips. Rowan face was closer to her. Her eyes went wide not trying to believe, was I kissed?.
