Chapter 3 - -3-

Shut up, that's what Ares is doing now, he can still feel the weak aura from Maria who looks so scared. For a moment, Ares closed his eyes, trying to relate his strength to the events that had just happened from Maria's side. It's true that a human figure entered the forest due to curiosity about the black shadow created by the two werewolves in front of him. However, Ares also knew that the young man's entry into the forest was due to Maria's screams. Yes, Maria was injuCred, and Maria asked for help, she was in pain, unable to return to the Eterno forest. Thinking of Maria as a human in general, the young man finally tried to help Maria. And sure enough, the help was done by accident, the wound suffered by the young man on his arm made the blood of the young man drip, and accidentally the drop of blood from the young man fell on Maria's wound, which made Maria's wound heal instantly.

This is actually quite strange for Ares, how not, a thing that is quite confusing actually. Because Ares knows more than anyone, if a werewolf who has the highest level like her and Maria, if injured will only heal if they get pure blood from humans, pure blood vampire blood, or blood from their own circle. And all this time when Maria was injured, only Ares's blood was able to heal Maria's wounds, now how come Maria's body has flowed the blood of someone other than her.

Ares' jaws hardened, how could it not… in this matter the matter of the drop of blood and who healed whom was a sacred matter to be reckoned with. The werewolf nation is the nation that understands the most whose name is dependence and reciprocity, that's why in terms of treatment and whose blood they use for rituals, it must be carefully thought out and should not be arbitrary. Because not just anyone who is able and who is allowed to heal their nation, especially for Ares and also Maria herself. Like dependence, half memories become intertwined and even seem to have a bond that's what happened, and Ares really didn't want that the pure blood of a human who accidentally helped Maria would continue to flow in Maria's body until it reached Maria's heart. Because if not, all his plans will all fail.

"Brother, everything that young man said was a lie. I had absolutely no intention of destroying their plans to lure even the victims to be sacrificed, really! I cried in pain and asked for help, no one helped until finally there was a human who came to me, that's where the human appeared, and suddenly I felt my wound heal suddenly just because of the drop of human blood. Then the two young men came, they scared the young man, so I immediately pulled the two young men away and into our realm, because I didn't want to make the humans chase and make things more complicated. If humans know that in the forbidden forest there is another invisible forest as our home, then our people will truly be destroyed. I don't want that to happen, brother. Didn't you tell me to be careful with humans yourself because they are evil creatures?"

Ares immediately grabbed Maria's wrist, then both of them instantly disappeared invisible. Go somewhere, and it managed to make the two werewolves who had been kneeling look at each other. The night of the red full moon will soon pass, all things related to their strength will disappear with time. The refinement of power had just passed, so they had to wait for the next night of the red full moon. While roaring after the two of them turned into two whole wolf figures with red eyes, they ran, through the Eterno forest and then just disappeared behind the black hole that seemed to be the barrier between their world and the human world.

This morning, a young man who had been lying in the middle of the forest since last night seemed to start blinking his eyes. The sun was getting high and was starting to penetrate the gaps in the trees in the middle of the forest. Nathan seemed to be frowning, slowly his black eyelashes began to move restlessly, until his gray cornea was perfectly visible. Nathan narrowed his eyes again, covering his eyes with his hands from the glare of the sun. This really made Nathan feel annoyed, this was enough to make Nathan feel uncomfortable. Until the end ….

Nathan immediately woke up perfectly, his eyes wide open now. How not, the remnants of last night's memories that he had just remembered and filled his brain perfectly.

What did you see last night? What figure did you see last night? Are werewolves real? And… that woman, where on earth was that woman?

Nathan immediately stood up, he staggered slightly as he tried to regain his balance, spread his gaze perfectly, then he winced in pain.

"Ouch!" he complained. He also just remembered that his arm was torn apart, even now the cut on his hand was filled with several ants who were starting to be tempted by the smell of his blood. Nathan slashed his arm to clean it, then he ripped the hem of his shirt and tied the wound to prevent infection. Although he himself doubted whether it was possible the wound wasn't infected after the pain got worse. While picking up a fairly long branch, Nathan finally walked through the surrounding forest. He didn't dare to go far, because he was alone moreover he wasn't a brave knight either. He was the most cowardly man in this world.

"Miss, are you still here?" shouted Nathan. Hoping that the woman he met in the middle of the forest was still around, and wasn't torn apart by werewolves last night. However, after a long search Nathan did not find anything. All the things that make him start to feel and think that is not.forest Bellisima is not a good sign, in fact it is a sign of the opposite. Because most of all the people who are lost in this forbidden forest, will soon return in a different form, namely the bones with the most terrible conditions in the world.

Nathan ran as hard as he could every time he realized that it might happen to him too. He had to save himself, he had to run, he had to find freedom over himself, before the two ghastly figures with fiery red eyes came after him, just like they did that night.

Nathan jumped from the bushes to the road, a speeding car almost hit him, the screams of cursing sounded so real. But Nathan didn't care, he just ran with all his might. Go home, and try to forget all the events that just happened.
