*Axel's POV*
"L-Lozen?!? What happened to you?" I was startled by Lozen's new appearance.
"Master I woke up and no one was around. I searched for quite awhile before I found your scent trail. As I was following you a power enveloped me and before I knew what what happening, I had evolved into what you see now."
Lozen explained the process to me and it sounded eerily similar to what I had experienced when going through my bloodline evolution. "Sylph show my Lozen's stats please."

Lozen had evolved into a Celestial Fenrir. This was amazing, with Lozen evolving possibilities are starting to open up. Her boost in cultivation and strength was beyond anything I could have imagined.
Wrapping my arms around her neck I spoke with happiness oozing from my body. "Lozen, this is amazing for you!" It was at this time that Sylph decided to make herself known again.
[Host, not only did Lozen evolve, she has also been recognized as a force with celestial power by the gods. You are incredibly lucky Lozen. As the Host's bloodline evolved it seems that you were affected as well.]
Nodding her head Lozen responded with pride in her voice. "The Celestial Fenrir is the hardest evolution to come across. I agree with you Sylph, I am incredibly lucky to have benefited from masters own evolution."
As we were becoming lost in our conversation I heard a nervous voice speak up from the side of us.
"Axel, is everything ok now?"
Silvara, Leah, and Mia all still stood by the side watching the scene between beast and master. Though they were quite surprised to see the Admin Fairy once again as the usually never come around and always try to trick their host into thinking the system is not sentient.
Snapping my head in her direction my gaze zeroed in on the beautiful Silvara.
*Whoosh*
With a thought I disappeared from my spot and reappeared in front of her and wrapped her in my arms. I couldn't explain it but I felt extremely close to this woman. Ever since my Bloodline Evolved my need for her kept growing.
"Silvara, thank you for bringing me to Lozen." I spoke sincerely while holding her perfect body against my own. I felt her arms slowly come up and circle around me as well and I felt her lean into my touch.
"Mm, of course Axel, it was no problem at all." Her muffled voice came from my chest as she had buried her face into me to hide her embarrassment.
*Cough Cough*
I heard a cough from the side and finally noticed Leah and Mia. With a raise of my brow I silently questioned the pair of ladies. Seemingly catching my unspoken question, Leah spoke up before things could get awkward.
"Umm, well you see we wanted to make sure you were going to be ok. You just went through a lot."
I listened to her and smiled by the end of her words.
"Thank you, you are both kind to worry about me. But I doubt that your friend Blaze would appreciate you coming and talking to me and hanging around right? He didn't seem to like me when we were all meeting with the Goddess."
I watched as the look of disgust became apparent on their faces. Both women seemed to dislike Blaze. Mia was the one to speak first, showing her feeling on the matter of Blaze.
"That guy is a scumbag. He tried to forcefully fuck us on the second day here. I thought he was going to be an easy way to survive down here. He was really gross always licking his lips while staring at us like we couldn't see the lewd look in his eyes."
"Exactly, but he got more then he bargained for when he tried to force himself on us. We left him months ago and have no clue as to where he is." Said Leah following up what Mia had been trying to say.
I thought to myself for a moment. I couldn't believe what I was hearing but I guess it had to be true seeing the look in both of their eyes. I took a breath to calm myself, anytime I heard about things like that I would feel myself wanting to demolish the ones committing such and act. It is atrocious.
"Well, I am sorry you ladies had to through that. How about we get out of here and go to my new home. I will treat everyone to dinner and we can continue our conversations there." I wanted to change the subject so I didn't dwell on it.
Everyone quickly agreed and we all got to see Lozen use one of her abilities. It was Size Manipulation. She shrank down to about my height so she was still big just much more manageable.
As we walked we made small talk about things. It was nice to have a conversation that just flowed naturally. Mia was the life of the conversation always bubbly and trying to make friends between us all. I could see she was a genuinely good person but she definitely had a past but hey who doesn't.
Before long we found ourselves back at the gates of Ruinton. I was pretty amazed by the sight of the towering walls and sturdy gates wide open letting the travelers in and out. Probably seeing the look on my face Silvara gently took my hand and gave it a squeeze before talking low so only we could hear.
"It must be a bit surreal right? Seeing these gates for the first time only after passing through them for the third time." I could here her tease as well as her concern for me. I just smiled at her making her give me that beautiful smile of hers right back.
She started scrutinizing me a little closer than and she seemed to come to a decision as she nodded her head and turned towards the girls to speak up about something I hadn't even thought of.
"Hey girls, let's take him to the barbershop and then we can finish our errands before meeting back up with my father at Axels new home."
"Sounds good." Leah nodded and just continued walking by our sides while the ever enthusiastic Mia bounced over to us with excitement all over her flushed face.
"Ooh let me be the one to cut his hair. I was in training to be a hairstylist in my old world. I promise you will be gorgeous by the time I am done!"
"NO" X2
Silvara and Leah both snapped at the bubbly girl making her visibly deflate. I couldn't bear to see her so downcast so I threw her a bone hoping that it would be enough to placate her.
"They may have said no this time but what about next time or the time after that? Cheer up Mia, no one wants to see you al-"
I was cut off as we heard what could only be described as a stampede. Looking over there were at least 30 men of varying ages all running towards us with fervor in there eyes. Looking closer I saw that they weren't looking at Leah or Silvara. No, their eyes were solely locked on to Mia.
*Hehe*
She giggled when she saw them all running towards her. With a wave of her hand I watched all of the men turn into fools with goofy grins on their faces like they had just seen the best thing ever in the world.
"Hey guys, what are you all doing here? I told you all that I was leaving the guild. I wont be coming back either. Leah and I will be joining Axel's party from now on.~" She spoke with a lilt to her tone but at the end of her words I felt a chill run down my spine as all the men turned towards me.
It wasn't that these men were strong no it was the look in their eyes. The pure obsession that they have for this doll like young woman. It changed quickly though and I saw something that made me fear Mia a little. All of the men dropped to their knees and started wailing.
"This is so unfair."
"Miss Mia no please don't go..."
"Please, please, please..."
"I will make them pay..."
"I told those bastards not to do anything..."
"Kill them all and just follow Miss Mia for life..."
"Yes kill all of them and then follow the Miss for life..."
Silvara and Leah had both put their hands on my shoulders already used to this bunch of super fans. They started to steer me away from the scene while I listened dumbfounded by the obsession these guys had for Mia. Some of the things that they were saying at the end of it though were quite disturbing sounding.
Quickly the ladies got me to a barber shop and had me cleaned up. My hair and beard both were trimmed and styled. My hair became short and styled into a suave upturned slicked back hairstyle. My beard was shortened to leave the dusting across my chin cheeks and jaw line. I felt it was major improvement.
When I turned to ask the girls how it looked I saw Lozen, Silvara, and Leah all just staring at me like they were caught in a daze. It was so bad they didn't wake up till I was walking out of the shop. Silvara quickly paid for my haircut, the 3 rushed out of the shop and drug me to a clothing shop.
Inside they had me measured and a few pieces of different clothing were promptly made right in front of our eyes. Silvara got me a casual set, a formal set, and an adventuring set to wear along with my white wolf armor. I was especially attracted to the trench style coat that she bought that went with all three outfits.
As we walked towards the spot where we had left Mia, Silvara's phone started ringing.
*Tring Aling Ting*
Without looking at the screen she answered.
"Hey daddy. Yeah we just finished up. Uhuh.. okay.. Yeah, we will wait for you at Drake Square. Ok.. Love you too daddy." Hanging up her phone she sighed slightly drawing my attention.
"Everything ok Sil?" I asked curious if she needed any help, not that I could do much.
"Huh? No, sorry. My dad is on his way to come meet up with us and take you to your new home. I am sad because I can guess that you probably don't want us to come over today." As she spoke she lowered her head in sadness and out of the corner of my eye I saw Leah doing the same.
Scratching the back of my neck I offered for them to come over.
"You know I will probably be too lonely tonight with just Lozen there with me. We may need some extra company if the two of you, including Mia if she would like to join, to come over and hang out for awhile." I wanted them to feel welcome. I am alone besides Lozen for family in this world.
I will admit that when it comes to Silvara I do want to get closer to her. I have been feeling closer and closer to her. But having more friends in Leah and Mia wouldn't be a bad thing either. Before I could get to lost in my thoughts though the squeal of the pair brought me back to reality.
"YAY!"X2
"Axel, definitely I want to come over!"
"Umm, me too I want to come and hang out I am sure Mia will too!"
"What will I want to do?"
A voice interrupted our conversation or I should say joined at the last second. Mia had somehow convinced her followers to leave her a lone and come join us when she over heard the enthusiastic responses of the two ladies. I wasn't even able to add my invitation into the mix before Lean and Silvara took Mia by the hand and excitedly started telling her about my invite to the three of them.
Lozen by my side nudged my side and gave me a small wolfish smile. I returned her affections just happy to have things looking up for me this quickly. I am feeling really grateful.
Before to long could pass Byron had shown up at the square in a sleek black limousine. Piling in quickly we started driving swiftly towards my new home.
"You are a lucky young man Axel. You have been given the home in the noble district just down the road from my own home. It should be plenty large enough for yourself and your companions." As he spoke he glanced at the mini sized Lozen who had shrunk down to the size of a doll and jumped into my lap so she could fit in the car. He then glanced at the three women who where excitedly talking about house furnishings.
Pointing his finger at the three of them he turned towards me with a raised brow to which all I could do was shrug my shoulders in defeat.
After about 15 minutes we finally arrived at my new home.
