Runaway Alpha

Adventurers? What is he talking about? And why does he wear such… Clothings…

“We are not adventurers. We are-”

I hold her hands. It isn’t a good thing to state our names nor identity.

“I am achelois… She is Aylin. It is nice to meet you… You are a.. adventurer. Right?”

I started to speak not minding this girl beside me asking why I said such lies. I just hold her hand a little tight while I smile at the one talking to us.

Giving his hand, I hesitate whether I should hold and shake it. He isn’t some weird killer… Is he?

But I don’t sense any danger around him. Maybe that is because he is weak?

One of the snake like species move and suddenly, the man who was holding out his hand use his feet to kick the species which make him stop moving.

Alright, I will take back my words.

“You are strong… wow…”

I was surprised when Lhana mumbled that. But… Aren’t I strong too? What’s with her?

I frown as I can’t seem to understand her. Why so amazed by such simple matters?

“I am Draven, it is nice to meet you”

“I am Lha–”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She stopped as I pull her to my side.

“Aylin stop it. Sorry about her she is just amazed in many simple things. That is how she is so don’t think too much okay? It is her first time going out that’s why”

“What?? Em-”

I again press my fingers on her lips making her shut up.

I don’t know why but, letting her talk to this.. Draven, it makes my blood boil.

Putting my hand to make a distance between them, I didn’t know that Draven would find it odd.

“I see, so you two are a couple”

“No-”

“Yes”

Lhana was taken aback with my response. Well, she was surely the one who denied it and I am the one who agreed to it. Who knows, this guy named Draven would find it weird and wouldn’t believe in us.

To think that he would laugh after seeing such a sight, he is surely an odd person.

“Ah, I see, I see”

With that, we had a small conversation with him. He explain that he was in this place to hunt down this Naga. A half-human half-snake is called a Naga. The are generally depicted as a snake with the head of a human.

So, those things… I mean.. those species are called naga…

We ended up giving it to him since we don’t have any use of it.

I nodded my head stating that I understand it. Tp my surprised, Lhana was ther chatting with Draven about how amazing he is. Having a muscular body with scars all over his broad shoulders… I can’t help but compare myself to him.

But, no matter how I look at it, I am better than him a million times.

Tch, how funny of me to think such things.

But each moment that passed by, my blood keeps on boiling.

“What’s with that sour face?”

Draven asked me.

“Tch”

How annoying…

‘Emric, I think I like him’

I gulp as I hear Lhana’s words talking to me telepathically.

‘And so’

Luckily, my words isn’t shaken by my feelings.

Looking at them being so close discussing things… I can’t help but remember those scenes I saw when I was unconscious and having the perspective of Achelois.

What a load of shitty bull shits.

I want to fucking end that loophole. Everything are going according to the things that happened before.

I jolted when I heard Draven saying

“You know wolves? You should be wary about them. Those are the species that killed my adventurer father and mother. They are a frightening force”

Immediately having my way to distance them, I am afraid yo make the same mistake I did before. No… I shouldn’t stand idly and let things happen according to what it supposed to be.

Closing my eyes I mumbled,

“We have to go”

“Already? But we are near in my base. Letti was there waiting, I am sure that Aylin would be in good terms with him”

“It is an urgent matter. Giving you those Naga… I do think that it is enough to compensate you for annihilating those creatures you have set your mind into. Giving you some of our time is good enough to not be rude. Am I right?”

“Ah, yes”

“Well then. Farewell”

“Al… Alright”

Making her follow me, she was left silent. With us being far from where Draven and that Letti are, she started to speak.

“Are we really involve with his parents getting killed?”

“No”

I immediately mumbled. Not because I had a glimpse in the thing that happened between Aylin and Achelois before I should state that what happened today are similar to this. What I believe is that, us wolves inside the erhendem have no power to get out. Since there is a seal, the real forbidden grounds for normal wolves. The dome that is blocking us in getting out.

With Lhana and I breaking the seal… That makes us have the power to get out.

Wait… If my judgement is correct..

“Lhana”

“Yes?”

“The elders are wrong”

“You already said it before”

“No, i mean… The oracle did happen”

“But we never married each other”

“Because they are wring in their judgment”

“What do you mean by it?”

“Remember the odd ligt that escape when we both touched the seal?”

“Yes…”

“…”

“…”

She gasp in realization.

“The bond… It doesn’t exactly mean that we must…”

I nodded my head.

“Us putting both of our hands… Break the seal. We bond and make changes in our wolvendom. Because the whole erhendem is now freed from the seal…”

“Right… that was indeed the case”

She hugged me which is something that I never expected she would do.

“Then that also means that we are not those wolves that killed Draven’s parentssince the time that they were killed, the erhendem was closed”

I nodded my head.

“Yes that was surely the case”

Being excited with what we just realized, crowd of poeple charging to our direction as they hold arms and fire.

What the hell is wrong with them?
