The Wrath of the Werewolf Nation
“What are you looking at?” asked Laura when she saw Helena looking behind her.
"I feel like someone is watching us," Helena answered.
Laura immediately looked back. She couldn't see anyone behind her. There were only people enjoying eating with their families and those closest to them. "Don't scare me, Helena."
"I'm not scaring you. I'm just speaking the truth," replied Helena, looking back at Laura.
"But the reality is that what you see in a normal human like me is different," said Laura.
"You think I'm not normal?" Helena pursed her lips.
"Yeah. You are an indigo, someone who has advantages and can see things that others cannot. Oh, my God! I get goosebumps being around you," grumbled Laura, who immediately received a pinch on her arm from Helena. Seeing her friend's annoyed expression made her apologize while laughing.
“Why are you laughing? Not funny! Do you think I like being an indigo like this?" Helena looked away from Laura.
“Oh my, sorry. I'm just teasing you. In fact, I have imagined having advantages like yours. Who knows, I might meet a werewolf prince or a handsome vampire like in a fairy tale." Laura smiled at her friend. Her attitude is still the same as before. It has not changed. She really likes to annoy Helena.
“If you were me, it would be impossible to see handsome creatures. In fact, they all look scary." Helena resumed her eating activities.
"Wow, it wouldn't have happened then," said Laura, making Helena laugh.
In a campus warehouse, Stevan and Reynold stared at each other for a long time without saying a word. Gabrio, who saw them, felt confused and frightened. The gazes of the two of them were so scary, as if they wanted to attack each other.
"How long will you two be silent to each other like this?" Gabrio asked, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
“Shut up!” Stevan and Reynold snapped simultaneously. Gabrio immediately became silent and chose to leave the warehouse.
"Hopefully the prince doesn't tear up the male student's body," muttered Gabrio when he was outside the warehouse.
“What do you want to talk about, Crown Prince?” Reynold asked, starting first. He wanted to leave this place immediately and find Laura's whereabouts. He had been detained for half an hour in this damp and slightly dirty place.
"Stay away from Laura," said Prince Stevan firmly and matter-of-factly.
Reynold smiled. "As long as Laura has not officially become crown princess, I still have the right to keep her as my fiancé." His facial expression looked cold again.
"I suspect Laura has already returned her mother's debt to you. So, there is no reason for you to keep her. Let her be free.” Stevan didn't expect Reynold to be so persistent in pursuing Laura. He thought he should be more firm with the man.
Stevan looked disappointed and held back his irritation. "Oh, you gave Laura the money?"
“Yes, I gave the money. So, it's true, Laura returned the money to you?" Stevan smiled faintly, seeing Reynold's facial reaction. He could guess what really happened between Reynold and Laura. "Seeing your face, I became even more convinced that Laura had ended the relationship between you and her."
Reynold's face turned red, holding back a surge of pent-up anger. "If there is nothing further to discuss, I beg you to leave first." Reynold turned around and walked towards the door.
"No matter how hard you try, you will never get her," said Stevan as he watched Reynold leave.
Reynold stopped in his tracks. His eyes were closed, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and his lips were tightly pursed. Anger surged within him. However, he held back as hard as he could and did not reply to the crown prince's words. He then opened his eyes and continued walking. At least he still respects Stevan.

That evening, Laura had guests. They are the Reynolds family. Reynold's parents looked at Laura closely, while Reynold himself could only lower his face. He seemed to be resigned to what Laura would say later.
"What really happened? Why were you suddenly chosen as the future crown princess without our family knowing?" asked Yasmin.
Yola and Laura looked at each other. They were both confused about how to respond to Reynold's parents. Laura dared to look at the Reynold family. “I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Regarding the issue of selecting a candidate for crown princess, I also don't know, and I was also very surprised to find out. I'm still trying to talk directly to the king. Tomorrow, I also have an appointment to meet the queen," said Laura.
“That's good. After all, you are already Reynold's fiancee. It would be very impolite if you accepted that decision without consulting us first," said Yasmin, looking a little annoyed at Laura.
“Sorry, regarding the matter of my engagement with Reynold..." Yola immediately pinched Laura's arm so she wouldn't continue what she was saying.
“Ahh, sorry. We should not discuss this issue before there is clarity. We also have not directly received the royal decision. There's still a lot we need to consider," said Yola.
Reynold breathed a sigh of relief. Laura did not reveal anything about the relationship between the two of them, which had ended. He didn't want his parents to be disappointed in Laura.
"I also think the same as you. Besides, Laura didn't know about the sudden decision from the kingdom. Right?” Martin still sympathizes with Laura. He really respects his late friend (Laura's father), whom he always misses.
Laura smiled while nodding her head in response. It seems that she should not be careless in her actions because her decision will have an effect on many people.
Before long, an hour had passed. The Reynold family said goodbye and went home. The atmosphere between the two families gradually improved and returned to being as warm as before. Yasmin's attitude towards Laura is also better, and there is no cynical face like when she first came.
“Laura, I'm going home first. Sorry if tonight makes you uncomfortable," Reynold whispered before getting into the car.
"Ah, no problem," answered Laura with a smile.
Reynold's car started to leave the area around Laura's house. Yola immediately looked at her daughter. "Who do you think you will choose?"
"I don't know. My brain can't work well," answered Laura, who then stepped into her house. Yola also followed.
Not far from Laura's house, there was a man who had been observing her for a long time. He is a member of the vampire race. "That woman is so special that the vampire king told me to follow her."
However, suddenly, another man arrived. He also stakes out Laura's house. He was in front of the vampire man. “Werewolf nation? Why is he here?” The vampire man immediately hid. Their nation had not appeared for a long time and had never looked for trouble in front of the werewolf nation since the defeat of the vampire nation in the great war that occurred 18 years ago, killing the previous king.
"Finally, I found where the woman lived. I will tear her face apart and will not let her live. The position of crown princess is only suitable for the werewolf nation to occupy," the werewolf man muttered. His eyes were yellow, and he had a sharp gaze like a wolf, ready to pounce on its prey.
“That's bad. It seemed like he was stalking Laura. I must immediately report it to the king.” The vampire man immediately left.
