Chapter 8: Part 8

"Seline, from today, this very second... I, who dwells within you, be united with you. There is no more me or you, there is only us. You are me, We are one. We are her descendants, We are the ones who have been waiting for millions of years."

"Setine, from now on... I will be your brother, your friend and your strength. I will always be with you. I will always support your every step and your every decision. Your happiness is my happiness, your sorrow is mine. You can live without me, but I can't live without you. When you're gone, I'm gone too."

"Waka up Seline! Feel my presence. Rise up,"she has been wasting away for us for many years.

"Wake up... and remember yourself, awaken our strength. Wake up and strengthen us, be Luna who will lead all your people. Wake up Seline! Remember me! Remember! Your Oriel...."

"Where does Alpha meet his mate?"the white-haired man asked, taking a seat across from Daynen and Mulan after leaving Sekne's room.

"At our company's anniversary. Why?"Daynen asked curiously.

"Alpha Alcan, are you feeling better?"this time the white-haired man looked at Alcan, who was sitting next to Aldrid. Alcan sat with his body and head propped up on the sofa in the living room, still trying to control his breathing, which he still had trouble controlling.

"She hasn't fully recovered yet, Uncle Eghar,"Aldrid answered in Alcan's place. Edgar nodded.

"What happened to our future Luna, Eghar? How could she emit such a strong pheremone scent? While she was just-"

"A human," Eghar interrupted. Mayia nodded in agreement.

"Let me tell you what I just found out. Our Luna candidate is not fully human."

This sentence made Alcan open his eyes and Irit lift his head from the back of the sofa, he straightened his body and looked at Eghar.

"What do you mean, Uncle? My mate is not human?"

"She is human, for now."

"I don't understand, Edgar,"Mulan said,

"Humans don't emit Luna's pheromone. But Seline has released her pheromone, a strong pheromone. The pheromone that should only affect her mate and the she-wolves who haven't found their mate yet. But it turns out that Seline's pheromone also affects she-wolves who have found their mates, like Alpha Daynen."

"But Uncle didn't seem to be affected by the pheromones after he entered Sis Seline's room,"Aldrid said.

"Uncle prepared himself, Uncle Aldrid. If you hadn't told Uncle about Seline's condition before, Uncle might have attacked Seline."

"Be careful what you say, Uncle,"Alcan warned with a growl.

Eghar chuckled,"that's why Uncle brought a bunch of rose petals, jasmine and orchids to put on Seline's neck, wrists and feet, I've told Mayla to put them on."

"So explain what you meant before, Eghar? What exactly happened to Seline? When Alcan managed to find her mate, there was no sign that she was a creature with special powers or abilities. Seline's scent is like that of an ordinary human, as is her aura,"Daynen said.

"There is something I don't know exactly what it is, Alpha Daynen. But one thing is certain, Seline is no ordinary human. The pheromones she emits indicate that there is something else in her, I don't know what it is. I can't read it yet, and I've seen it. All I know is... This pheromone will continue to spread from her body, not affecting humans, but she-wolves, whether they have met their mate or not."

"You mean Seline will continue to influence the other she-wolves?"Alcan asked, not liking the question himself.

"Damn it, Aican, I don't want my mate to influence other she-wolves. Do you know what Alcan's pheromone means? Pheromone means the lure that stimulates a male wolf to make love to a female wolf. You want our mate to charm every other male wolf and make her say... Girrr... Just thinking about it makes me want to break bones smelling her pheromone."

"Don't make me angry, Dhan. I know and understand. I won't let the she-wolf come near our mate. Damn, why does she have to emit such tempting pheromones?"

"Yes, Alpha,"Eghar replied.

Alcan's growl became louder, his hands turned white and his eyes became silver.

"Calm down Alpha, I already have a solution for our future Luna. I won't let another she-wolf get close to her."

"How?"Alcan asked with a sharp look.

"I have bouquets of roses, jasmine and orchids ready to place around Luna's neck, wrists and ankles. When the arrangements wear out, replace them with new ones. The floral arrangements will prevent Luna's pheromone scent from being smelled by other humans-"

"And maybe other creatures,"Eghar continued in his mind.

"Okay, Eghar, we will prepare it,"Mulan said.

"But how is Seline? She's fine, isn't she? I That means she's unconscious at the moment. Mayla said that Seline looked weak as soon as she arrived at our pride."

"She's fine, but like I said, Seline has something inside her. This something affects her body as well as the pheromones. Our world is different from the one Seline has lived in, and because of that... Her body is not used to the conditions in our world, making it weak as before."

"Are you sure she's okay?"Alcan asked, trying to be convincing.

"She's fine Alpha. Just don't let her remove the flower arrangements from his body. And I suggest you tell Seline about your identity immediately. This is just my hunch, she just arrived in Cir's territory, but her body immediately reacted strangely, what if she finds out your identity from someone else? Or worse, she sees your wolf form without being warned beforehand. It's a good idea for you to tell her beforehand to prepare her. We don't know what will happen or what reactions will occur later,"Eghar explained.

Selene opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a luxurious lamp hanging from the ceiling of the room. Then she looked around and realized that she was no longer in her rented room.

"You got up?"

Mayla's voice made her turn her head, the woman approached Seline and placed a glass of drink on the nightstand next to the bed.

"How are you feeling?"Mayla asked as she sat on the edge of the bed.

Dizziness immediately hit her head when she moved her body, Seline grimaced softly.

"What happened to me?"she asked.

"Sit down first Sel!"Mayla asked, then she took the drink she had brought and handed it to Seline.

"What is this?"

"Herbal drink, it will make you feel better. Drink it!"

As Seline held the glass, she noticed the flower arrangement around her wrist, not just one, but both wrists were decorated with flower arrangements.

"Why is there a bracelet of flowers on my hand?"Seline asked confused.

"Oh, that's a special flower bracelet for the new member of the Cirillo family,"Mayla replied thoughtfully.

"Special bracelet? Well, I decided to stay here only temporarily. I don't need to..."

"You are Alcander Cirillo's fiancée, Seline,"Mayla interrupted.

"Everyone knows that, you told me before to give my brother a chance."

Seline was silent when she heard that,"drink this first, your head hurts, right? This will ease the pain."

Seline accepted the drink, observing its purple color, without thinking, she drank the drink until it was finished.

"Mmm... Delicious,"she sipped deliciously.

"What kind of drink is this? It's sweet,"Mayla smiled stiffly and Ayla squealed happily in her mind.

"Sweet, May. Uncle Eghar is right, this drink proves that he is no Ordinary human. Extraordinary... If she were a human, she would spit out the drink immediately. But really? This is truly incredible."

"Yes, Ayla, our future Luna is not an ordinary human. Then who is Seline really?"Mindlink Mayla asked.

"I don't know May, I didn't smell anything other than the scent of a human dy inside him."

"May? May?"

"Huh? Yes? I've been calling you,"something suddenly occurred to me.

"Ohh... umm... Where are the others?"

"Who?"

"The residents of this house."

"A)can is in his study with Aldrid, Mom and Dad are on the back porch the view at night."

Seline nodded. Her head then turned to stare at the moon peeking out of the open bedroom window, the beautiful and bright moon reminding Seline of the dream she had just had. The dream where he was standing on the grass at the edge of a large lake, looking up at the night sky with a bright moon and stars decorating it. As she closed her eyes and enjoyed the breeze blowing through her hair... The voice appeared...

"Wake up, Seline! Remember me! Remember me! Your Oriel...."

"Oriel?"Seline muttered subconsciously.

"What?"

"Huh? No, it's okay, Um... does it still work even if I live here?"Seline asked.

"You have to discuss that with brother Alcan."

"Okay, then... What do I do while I'm here?"

"Do whatever you want."

"Hmm... This mansion is very large. Is there a reading room?"

"The library, you mean?"Seline nodded.

"Do you like to read?"

"Very much."

"Yes, ask Hana about it tomorrow. She will show you around and introduce you to all the things in this mansion."

"Who is Hana?" A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Come in,"Mayla asked.

The door opened and 3 women with shoulder length hair entered the room carrying a tray of food,"Good night Miss Mayla! Luna night."

"My name is Seline, not Luna,"Seline replied.

"Yes, Luna Seline, I know,"Hana replied.

"Just Seline, without Luna."

"Sel, they should really call you Luna,"Mayla said.

"Why?"

"Every pair of first sons in this family is called Luna,"Mayia said.

"Dad is the first son of our grandfather, so his wife is called Luna. Everyone calls her Luna, Luna Mulan. That's the rule."

"What kind of rule is that? How strange."

"Don't say it's strange, Luna Seline, it has become a rule and tradition in the family, just like the flower arrangements on your hands, feet and neck. Don't take them off until we tell you to. And don't protest when someone calls you Luna!"

Mayla took the food tray from Hana's hand and placed it in front of Seline,"now eat, it's past dinner time and your stomach needs to be filled soon. Hana will wait for you to finish."

"Where are you going?"

"I have something I want to do. Hana, go with Luna Selinet, you know what you have to do?"

"Yes, Nona."

"Good, I'm out of the cell. See you tomorrow. Good night."

Seline finally ate the food provided after Mayia lek Iver soon, while Hana pulled out a chair near the bed and sat there guiltily while watching Seline.

"Um... Hana?"Seline called in the middle of her meal.

"Yes, Miss,"she replied,

"Is there really a library here?"

"There is, miss, the place is next to Alpha Alcan's study."

"Alpha?"

"Uh... that... that... | I mean..."Hana began to stutter.

"Mr. Alcan means."

Seline looked at her a little suspiciously, "Oh, can you take me there tomorrow?"

"You can, Luna."

"What books are there?"

"Lots, Luna, books about education, business, cooking, fiction, history and much more."

"Ah, great, by the way, how old are you?"

"20 years Luna."

"You're one year younger than me. Um... Since I just moved here and I don't know many people except Mayia and Mrs. Mulan, would you like to be my first friend?"Seline asked with a sweet smile.

This smile dazzled Hana's eyes, she had never seen such a sweet smile before. "Huh? But... I'm just a junior warrior, Luna. How can I be friends with a Luna?"

"Warrior Junior?"Seline frowned in surprise.

"I mean, I'm just a young servant."

"I'm just an orphan too,"Seline said honestly.

"Eh?"this statement surprised Hana.

Seline smiled again.

"You still have parents?"Hana nodded.

"There's only one father left."

"That's good, at least you still have parents, whereas ! | lived and grew up in an orphanage. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Hana shook her head slowly, she felt sad to hear Seline's words.

"That means, as long as I live... I don't have anyone who cares or loves me, not even a close friend. Ah, there is one person... an office friend who is older than me, but I can't share many things with her. Older than me, but I can't share many things with him. At least you still have a father, while I don't have one at all."

"But Luna has Mr. Alcan and the rest of the Cirillo family."

"Yes, they're nice. But I'm not that close to them yet. Um... I'm not used to it and I don't feel comfortable. Besides..."Seline lowered.

"Mr. Alcan is a coercive and perverted type of man, I think I'm crazy for wanting to be forced to be his partner,"she joked. She couldn't help but laugh at Hana. "So, do you want to be friends with me?"

"Of course Luna, my pleasure. It's an honor for me."

"She's an extraordinary Luna, Wully,"Hana thought to herself. And Wully replied by jumping in there for joy.

"You're not staying away because of my weird tiredness, are you?"

Seline asked, feeling a little uncomfortable because Hana looked at her closely while smiling brightly. "You are beautiful, Lunal," Hana exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, she is beautiful! She is beautiful,"Wally shouted happily inside.

"Wow, this is the first time anyone has called me beautiful. Thank you."

"Tall me also called her beautiful and kind! Very nice!"Wully replied.

"Shut up Wullyi Luna Seline doesn't know that we are wolves,"Hana replied.
