Henderson, Nevada

She could smell it, the pungent odor from Lucien's body. It had been too long since she returned to this world and she kept stalling to meet Lucien. She felt that she would never be ready to show this face in front of Lucien again.
What would Lucien say when he saw her face again? Will he actually not remember her anymore? No, she doesn't want to be like that. It didn't matter that Lucien had been looking for a replacement. She would definitely force Lucien to remember it again.
"You want to go again today?" Claude asked when he saw Sofia walking hurriedly as if there was something she wanted to chase.
"I've found him!" She said confidently. She had already smelled his scent right when she decided to return to this city.
"It's been almost three years, huh? I don't know what made you decide to come back here. But I'm sure you've found something interesting." Claude chuckled as if he could easily guess the young woman's train of thought.
"I think you've become too arrogant since you became Alpha, Claude. I'm sure you haven't forgotten that I was the one who brought you this far!"
"You are a hunter, Sofia! And you are destined only to be a hunter, nothing more. Forget about your dream of being an alpha, a fox will not be on par with wolves!"
Claude walked away arrogantly as if he had forgotten how miserable he was when Sofia found him five years ago. If not for her, Claude was just a useless old wolf.
She hated this place, it had been three years since she decided to hunt Lucifer's slaves to send them to this place and become part of the pack, she had almost forgotten her real goal, which was to kill Lucien.
She opened the car door when her sense of smell continued to pick up Lucien's smell, which felt very close. She didn't want to waste any more time, she had to find him now.
"Didn't you just come, Sofia? Are you ready to go again? Come on, how about we have a little fun?" Jonathan approached her and looked at her with those disgusting eyes.
"I want to meet someone." She said.
"Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No need!" She said as she got into the car and ignored Jonathan.
"How about a date this weekend? You're not busy, right?"
"Why should I date you? I'm not interested!"
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, come on! Can you not reject me for once?"
"Jonathan, listen! I don't have time to date you or anyone else. I'm too busy with my work!"
"As a hunter? Hahaha... it seems like you really enjoy your duties as a salesman and recruiting new members, I'm sure soon you will get the award for being the oldest member who hasn't been promoted, even though some of the members you recruited have become alpha or captain. Tsk, what a shame!"
"Keep laughing until I break your teeth! If I want, I can have you removed from this pack. Useless wolf like you are just a burden to the pack."
"What are you saying-"
"Hahaha...see you, loser?"
She immediately drove the car, leaving Jonathan behind. She really didn't have time to deal with an ordinary wolf like that.
She walked a long road even though previously, she was sure that Lucien's scent was very close. She had passed several hours until she arrived in Henderson City, strange, it was further than she thought.
"There's no way he's in this city if I can smell his body odor in Las Vegas. What's going on? Human body odor wouldn't be this strong." She started to get restless. Her mind kept guessing what happened to Lucien. It had been 11 years since she died and 10 years had passed since she was resurrected in her current form, she never met Lucien again.
She kept putting off meeting him, but what answer she would give Lucien if he asked, how could she come back alive? For too long, when she found out that Lucien had found a new lover, she felt very disappointed and decided to go as far as possible to a place where she could no longer smell his scent.
Her hands were shaking, her heart was beating fast. What is this really about? She had never felt anxiety like this since she was resurrected as a fox demon.
She decided to stop the car in front of a very quiet and dark forest door. She smelled Lucien's body scent coming from inside this forest.
"He's in this forest? What is he doing? Why does he smell like-"
Graooorrr...
She heard the sound of a wolf growling from inside the forest. It was a bad sign, a slave of Lucifer had appeared on earth and the smell of this slave was very similar to the scent of Lucien's body that he remembered.
"Impossible-"
Sofia changed her form into the form of a fox so she could have more easy to find and attack her target. Her premonition was very bad and she really hoped that her premonition was wrong.
"Lucien, there's no way he-"
She ran as fast as she could following this smell. In the middle of the forest, she saw a large wolf rampaging and destroying the trees around him.
The wolf had the exact same smell as Lucien's and that made her decide to subdue it. She attacked the wolf from all directions, as if he was not used to his body, he seemed to have difficulty controlling his enormous strength.
Grrrr...
Sofia growled and made the wolf lose in just a matter of minutes. His defeat made him return to his human form, leaving several bite and scratch marks on his arms and shoulders. Meanwhile, Sofia still maintains her fox form.
“I finally found you, Lucien!”
