Part 28

It had been raining since that morning and showed no signs of stopping, even as the clock read 5:30 in the afternoon. Outside, Serena could see dark clouds decorating the sky from every window in her room, along with rainwater that soaked all the plants on the ground.

Since this morning she had locked herself in her room, she had never left it since she opened her eyes, ahe even had breakfast and lunch in her room, of course she was not alone in this room, there was Hana who served as her Loyal companion.

As the minutes passed, a worried expression was clearly visible on his face. Serena started pacing up and down in her room, occasionally biting her lip, sneezing, and rubbing her neck, trying to get rid of the anxiety, even though it didn't have any effect.

"Miss?"Hana called, staring at the lady she had been serving all this time, Serena didn't seem to hear.

"Miss?"Hana called again.

"Miss Serena?"

"Huh?"

"What's wrong, Miss? You've been looking restless since earlier."

"Is Maxel not here yet?"she asked back without answering Hana's question.

"You've asked that 5 times and my answer is still the same, Miss. Mr. Maxel hasn't arrived yet."

"Hahhh..."Serena sighed, throwing herself onto the bed and staring up at the high ceiling of her room.

"If I may ask, what is it, miss? Is something bothering you?"

"Hmm..."Serena nodded.

"Very."

"What is it? Maybe | can help you,"Hana tried to make herself useful, all the while Serena looked cheerful, as if she was living without the slightest burden. And this was the first time she saw that scared and angry on her face. Hana wanted to help her, not only in the woman's happy moments, but in every difficulty and sorrow. She had promised to serve Serena for the rest of her life,

"This is the 15th day, Hana,"she said. Hana frowned in disbelief.

"In this year, this day has come..."

Serena turned her head and looked at how hard it was raining outside.

"And this year might be different from the last 2 years."

Meanwhile, elsewhere...

From behind the large glass, Alcan could see how hard it was raining outside; it wasn't the first time it had rained so hard and for such a long time, but it was the first time Alcan had felt so uncomfortable because of this rain. Somehow he felt that something was about to happen. "Alpha Alcander?"

Alcan was stunned, he had been so absorbed in watching the rain that he had forgotten that he was about to introduce the first child and Alpha candidate of the Ecplise Pack, a pack led by Alpha Javas.

"You seem interested in the rain,"the man said. He is Daynen's schoolmate and a former Gamma, a middle-aged man who still looks as fit as Daynen. And now he is standing across from Alcan, sipping a glass of wine in his hand.

"Nat really, | I just feel like it rained for too long today."

"Yes. And it doesn't seem like it's going to stop anytime soon. By the way, it looks like it's not just the Redmins pack that knows the Blue Argentum royal family,"the man said as he looked at Alpha Javas, who had just welcomed another man Alcan knew very well. Maxel Alexander.

Alcan's eyebrows raised when he saw Maxel's presence in the Ecplise Pack. Why is this guy showing up everywhere lately?

"I heard he's free to join the Puerdern Pack, is that true?"the man said again.

Alcan Onty nodded briefly, his eyes still watching the interaction between Javas and Maxel. Unlike the atmosphere when Maxel was present at Alpha Ben's funeral, this time it was not as tense as it was then. The people in the Ecplise Pack didn't seem surprised to see Maxel's presence, who was actually 2 vampires, as if the man had been there several times before. Even Javas and his wife, holding their baby, became friendly and talked to Maxel.

Feeling noticed, Maxel turned to him, gave him a grin, and then raised his hand in a casual gesture as if to say hello. Alcan Onty nodded once, then looked away. He tried to ignore Maxel's presence.

"I didn't see your Luna candidate, Alpha. Didn't she come with you, Cartier?"the middle-aged man asked Agam.

Alcan finally realized that Ie had come to the event with Kalila, and the woman had asked permission to have a drink. It has been a long time since he left, why hasn't Kalila returned yet?

"I'll look for Kalila first, excuse me,"Alcan said goodbye and left immediately.

"Pandi? Haven't you seen Kalila?"he asked Pandi who had also come with them.

"Sorry Alpha, I just saw her near the drinks table,"Ire replied.

"What are you doing Pandi? Why aren't you taking care of your future Luna?"

"Forgive my carelessness, Alpha. I will look for Miss Kalila right away,"Alcan decided the mind!ink, he immediately looked around the hall.

"Use your sense of smell, Human! Damn, this woman is just annoying,"Ohan grumbled.

Alcan didn't pay attention, but he used his sense of smell to find Kalila's whereabouts. Alcan sniffed the air, trying to smell Kalila's strong body scent and follow her at the same time.

She started walking, past several invited guests, following her.fiancée's scent. Alcan's brow furrowed as he glanced back, trying to convince himself that he wasn't mistaking Kalila's scent.

Yes, Alcan was not mistaken. But why was that scent heading for the Alpha Javas main residence?

"pandi, position?"asked Alcan.

"I'm right behind you,"he replied curtly.

Alcan resumed his steps, walking deeper into the main residence of the Nayaka family. Alcan wondered, "Why did Kalila dare to enter Javas Nayaka's main residence? What is this woman doing here?"

After passing the stairs that led him to the tired 2nd floor, Alcan's footsteps stopped right in front of a bedroom door. Alcan sniffed once more, trying to confirm that Kalila's scent was indeed wafting behind the door of this room.

Just before he turned the knob of the bedroom door...

"Aaahhh..."

The sound was instantly caught by his keen ears. You you...

Alcan's heart pounded, a flash of pain hitting him.

"Ahhhh..."

Alcan's hands moved away, his body immediately felt a tremor. Even Dhan was still standing there.

"Mhhh... Ohhh..."

The voice sounded again, Alcan closed his eyes, the image of the events 3 years ago came back to his mind, making him unconsciously clench his fists.

"Open the door!"Dhan ordered in a growling voice.

"No!"Alcan refused.

"Open the door Alcan!"

Alcan turned around, wanting to leave this place.

"oPEN THE DOOR, STUPID ALPHA!"Dhan roared angrily.

"You idiot,"Alcan replied harshly. "You want me to open it and see what's going on in there, huh? You want to see the same thing as 3 years ago, you stupid wolft?"

"I don't care! You have to open the door!"

"DHAN!"

"ALCANDERI! Choose now, you open, or | wili take your body and open it myself!"he threatened,

"Bastard."

The door slammed heavily from Alcan's kick. And the shocking sight made his mind instantly flash back to the events of 3 years ago, when he saw with his own eyes Alzeita Seline making out with another man in her room.

"Traitor,"Alcan roared in burning anger.

The sound suddenly separated the lips of a man and a woman who were making out intimacy. The man glared in annoyance at being interrupted, while the woman was shocked at what was in front of her.

"Brother Alcan?"

"Alcan?"the half-naked man on top of him frowned in surprise. Alcan stepped forward and threw a fist straight at the man's face.

"Brother Alcan!!" Kalila screamed, immediately fixing her half-open clothes and getting up from the bed.

Bugh...

Buggghh ...

Alcan unleashed blow after blow, accompanied by the sound of Kalila's screams, trying to stop Alcan.

But Alcan didn't listen, he kept hitting the man, the man who was the same man to Alcan who had touched his soul mate. As if returning to the incident 3 years ago, Alcan vented all his anger, as if he was hitting Finod, his secretary,

"I won't forgive you? I won't."

Alcan dragged the man's body, then punched him in the stomach, dragged the man's body again, and kicked him in the chest. As if not satisfied, Akan dragged him again, forced the man to stand, then slammed his head against the wall until it bled,

"Stop Alpha."

Pandi immediately approached and tried to restrain his Alpha's body, which was overcome by rage,"let go, this time I will kill you, Finod! I will finish you!"

Alcan roared in his Alpha tone, one iris of his eye turned silver, a sign that Dhan had taken a part of him.

Pandi still tried to hold him back, overwhelmed by Alcan's enormous strength.

"Alpha, come to your senses,"Pandi still tried,

Meanwhile, Kalila stood with her body shaking slightly. She had seen Alcan go berserk once before, but he was not the cause of his tantrum then. And this time, when Alcan was controlled by his anger again, he was the cause of the anger. More anger than 3 years ago. In fact, Kalila was so afraid to see him.

"Mpha Alcan, he is not Findodi, he is not Findod!"

Pandi's words shook Alcan's consciousness. The aftermath of 3 years ago faded away, Finod's face changed into that of a man Alcan didn't recognize. The tense veins on Alcan's face and hands slowly relaxed, causing the Alpha's chest to rise and fall rapidly, making it appear as if he was breathing regularly.

Seeing that Alpha's condition was under control, he immediately let go of Ican's body.

"Alpha, are you okay?"asked Pandi to make sure.

"What is this?"

Ava's voice was heard from the doorway, and he was seen with his wife, Beta and several other people gathered there. Even Maxel Atso was among them.

"Resin?"Javas stepped in, approaching the man named Damar, and was surprised to see his condition.

"Alpha Alcan, what have you done to Damar?"Javas asked in his Alpha tone.

"Do you know her?"assked Alcan in a cold tone.

"Know her? She's my cousin, damn it,"he cursed.

"Tonda, call Doctor Pack immediately,"he ordered the Beta. Then he slowly supported Damar's body and laid him on the bed,

"You better come up with a plausible explanation for what you did to Damar, Alphal, I respect you as a fellow Alpha by giving you the opportunity to explain all of this."

Alcan turned around and immediately looked at Kalila, who was still standing in her place, frightened.

"Explain Kalilai, what are you doing here?"Alcan demanded.

Kalila was silent. "Do you know?"

Javas looked confused,"Kalla? Why did Luna ask Kalila?"

Alcan ignored him. "Kalila Ardhiani, answer?" snapped Alcan.

"You traitor."

"N-no!!"his tone rose,

"I'm not a traitor!"

"Yes. You are a traitor. Just like that woman."

"No Sis. I couldn't possibly betray you. I'm your future Luna, not that woman,"he said, trying to defend himself,

"Then what is my future Luna doing in this room with Alpha Javas' younger cousin?"

"You can't deny it. | I saw what you did with my own eyes."

"Trust me,"Kalila took Alcan's hand and shook it.

"I can't betray you, I love you."

"Bullshit."

Those were the words Maxel said. Everyone turned to him.

"You are a werewolf destined to have a soul mate. Everyone knows that you are not Alpha Alcan's soulmate, how can you love him?" Maxel said mockingly.

"Don't listen to this vampire sister. I really love you. Even if I meet my soul mate, I will still love you.

"Nai Several people stared in disbelief when they heard Kalila's words. How could he say that? The term "soul mate," which is glorified by most werewolves, is disparaged by Kalila.

"Oh really?"Maxel said again.

"Then how do you explain your treachery?"

"I did not treachery!"Kalila shouted.

"Yes, you are a traitor!"Maxel replied to Kalila's words.

"Just like Seline. She was found alone in her room with another man. You too-"

"Seline was under the influence of magic then!"he said suddenly.

"He is under the influence of the magic that | gave him and made him confused, then he thought that the man who entered his room was Sis Can,"Kalila continued unconsciously.

"Just like me,"he pointed at himself.

"I... I, I was also in an unconscious state. Earlier, my head hurt a lot, then... then this man suddenly came and pulled me into this room, and everything just happened. Just like Seline. I thought he was you, Sister. I thought she was Sister Alcan, so I complied. I returned all her kisses, and I..."

Deggg...

"Got you,"Maxel whispered. Kalila immediately let go of Alcan's hand and stepped back, her eyes widening as she realized what she had just said.

Kalila's body suddenly shivered, especially when she saw silver irises flashing sharply at her. "Magic? You bewitched my soul mate?"

"I can explain. All of this..."

"Damn girl!"

Plague...

Kalila's head turned to the left until it fell.

"You, Aaarrggghhh..."Alcan screamed loudly. It deafened the ears of everyone present.

"I've said it before, Human. One day... you will regret it,"Dhan whispered.
