"You're not the girl I want, we have differences." Ethan Anderson voiced his opinion in front of the woman he discarded, choosing a woman of his own kind left Alesha helpless and fallen. The lone girl held back tears that began to fill her eyelids, she felt as if she was struck by lightning when she experienced rejection from the lycan. Alesha clutched her chest that felt too painful when she was discarded and thrown away by the man who had taken the crown she had been guarding. Even though she lived alone, Alesha always took pride in her virginity that she kept until the Lycan was able to make Alesha surrender everything. Alesha, who just found out that her lover was a half-wolf man, shocked her, but misfortune befell her when she had been deceived openly and at that time Alesha was carrying the offspring of the Lycan. The Lycan King chose a Luna who had been arranged for marriage by his family in Traid Damh, the forbidden forest. He had to leave the human world to continue the leadership that had been entrusted to him. "I will make you regret your whole life, and you will eventually die at my hands." Alesha shouted loudly voicing the enmity between them. Since that day, the lone girl kept a deep wound living alone with a pregnancy that was so different from a normal human pregnancy, making Alesha struggle to survive. Alesha, who lives alone, is she able to give birth to offspring from a different kind? What will happen when the offspring of the Lycan king grow up?
That morning, precisely at 7 o'clock, Alesha made up her mind to search for a black lotus flower that had been announced throughout the city. It was said that whoever obtained the flower would receive a great reward and a luxurious house as an additional prize.
The orphan girl entered the forbidden forest area, stepping on the forbidden forest ground where a large banyan tree stood as a marker for the forbidden forest. Alesha looked around as she heard the roaring and hissing sounds of wild animals echoing everywhere. However, she gathered the courage to enter the forbidden forest that existed in the green continent of Australia. She steadied herself and took a step forward, passing by a large tree in front of her.
"I have to believe! Only I can change the course of life that is playing tricks on me." Alesha stared into the distance, and she began to walk into the forbidden forest. But as soon as she entered the forest, it felt like she was being watched by several pairs of eyes coming from the right and left sides where she stepped.
The forest suddenly changed its weather, from bright and sunny to gradually cloudy. "Is it going to rain? Isn't it too early for heavy rain today!" Alesha looked at the sky, starting to hesitate to continue her journey in search of a black lotus flower near the Traid Damh waterfall. The place's name was always feared because the forest had claimed many tourists who entered the forbidden forest.
Alesha ventured further into the forest, something was following her slowly, a pair of eyes disturbing her search journey. "Who's there? Is there someone else besides me! If you're there, please show yourself." Alesha scanned her surroundings, feeling a cold sweat due to her fear. But the girl continued her journey because everything was for the sake of changing her destiny by finding the black lotus flower that she would sell to a doctor in great need of the flower as a medicine for a certain disease.
Alesha quickened her pace, with a sharp gaze she could faintly see a shadow from the right and left following her every step.
Alesha was now in the middle of the forest, and she faintly heard the sound of trickling water in the distance. "I'm close, hopefully, I can make it safely until I find that black lotus flower!" Her determination burned even brighter, causing Alesha to half-run in order to exit the forest that very day.
The sound of footsteps could be heard on the fallen tree branches, getting closer and closer to Alesha's ears. The girl turned her body around and was startled by the sight of a large animal in front of her.
"Go away! Don't bother me, you'll only get a little bit of meat from my small body." Alesha shouted loudly at the intimidating big animal in front of her.
A striped tiger stood right in front of the girl, dressed in shabby and simple clothes. The fierce predator smiled cunningly, staring at the prey it had longed for. It had been a long time since a human had entered the forbidden forest, and the tiger bared its sharp teeth and gleaming white fangs. Alesha slowly backed away in fear. But her steps halted as she froze, watching the tiger leap towards her. "No!" she screamed hysterically, crouching down with her eyes closed and hands covering her face.
A loud collision was heard, and the teenage girl slowly mustered the courage to open her eyes. She saw something strange that she had never seen before, a wolf as big and terrifying as the tiger, two wolves of yellowish-brown and grayish colors blocking the tiger's path. The wolf and the tiger fought, their battle bringing a sense of relief to Alesha as she witnessed the tiger being torn apart by the large wolf.
"I'm grateful that I'm safe, b-but..." She suddenly realized that she would become the meal for the two wolves.
Alesha ran with all her might, terrified, running as fast as she could until she reached the edge of the waterfall, leading to small rivers.
"Ah! This is the waterfall, where is the black lotus?" Alesha searched for the whereabouts of the flower she was looking for. Her eyes stopped when she saw a black flower near a stretch of rocks beneath the rushing waterfall.
The girl entered the water, walking further until she saw a large, flat rock beside the cascading waterfall. Alesha climbed onto the rock and stood in the middle of it, intending to retrieve the black lotus flower. But she was startled by the arrival of two wolves behind her. "Oh God, why are there two wolves again?" Alesha was confused, taking a few steps back, breaking through the waterfall.
"Hahaha... She fell into our trap!" said the gray wolf gleefully.
"Aaaa..." Alesha screamed, feeling her body floating and falling into a steep ravine.
And indeed, the girl fell into the ravine behind the waterfall, and quickly the two wolves leaped and entered through the waterfall. From that moment, Alesha and the two wolves found themselves in the world of wolf-human beings.
The teenage girl's body fell near a pair of large twin trees, just like the two wolves who transformed into two humans, grinning at Alesha. "Tonight, we shall feast!" exclaimed one of the young men.
The girl, who was previously unconscious, was swiftly carried by the two wolf-human beings to a magnificent palace in the middle of the forest. Joy could be seen on the faces of several Lycans as they caught a whiff of the human scent, their enticing aroma. Some Lycans eagerly rushed into the special party room.
"Where is our delicious meal? I can't wait any longer to devour that human!" exclaimed the large-bodied Lycan, showing its sharp fangs.
The sound of footsteps echoed, and all the Lycans in the special room turned their heads instantly.
"What right do you have to feast on the human who should be an offering for the alpha? You will merely become consumers of their bones and remains later," proclaimed a handsome young man with golden hair. This handsome young man was the sole son of the alpha, and he always instructed his two servants to prepare a human as an offering on the night of the red full moon. The red full moon only occurred once every 10 years, and it was crucial for the survival of the alpha, who had been afflicted with a disease for several decades.
The Lycans immediately retreated, fearful of Matteo's son. Let's call this young man Ethan Stone, the sole heir and future leader of the Lycan clan. Ethan entered the room and approached the girl lying motionless on an intricately carved wooden bed. He was captivated by her face, brought by his two servants. Ethan gently touched Alesha's unconscious face.
"All of you, leave, and remember not to remain in this palace," Ethan asserted to his kin, giving a sharp glance at the Lycans.
The Lycans scattered and hurriedly left the room, immediately vacating the palace to avoid becoming victims of the wrath of the future leader of the werewolf clan. Alpha Matteo caught a glimpse of the scene and quickly made his way to the door of the special room. Matteo was taken aback when he saw his son, Ethan, kissing the neck of the human.
"Wait! Don't bite her first, Ethan. I intend to offer her as a sacrifice on the night of the red full moon. I have been waiting for this moment with the right chosen sacrifice, someone with a good heart, genuine intentions, and a body untouched," Matteo explained and emphasized to his son that the girl should not be consumed before being offered as a sacrifice.
Ethan turned around, frustrated that his intense desire had been interrupted by his father, the alpha. Matteo failed to realize that Ethan didn't want to devour the girl, but rather, Ethan had instantly fallen in love with her beauty. Ethan, who harbored anger, stared fiercely with his eyes ablaze. His clenched fist made Matteo, who was already aged, take two steps back.
"Why are you angry with me, my son? Why are you angry with your father?" he asked softly.
Ethan took a step forward, suppressing his anger, preventing the fine hairs on his body from transforming into a wolf. The Lycans in the forest had the ability to control their transformations into fearsome beasts at will.
"Father has disturbed me! No one can make her a sacrifice on the night of the red full moon. If anyone dares, they will be my first enemy!" Ethan asserted.
The alpha did not want to argue with his only son. He chose to think of a way to make the human girl a sacrifice. Matteo left the room with a frustrated look, realizing that he couldn't control Ethan's emotions.
After the alpha left, Ethan was once again overwhelmed by strange sensations coursing through his body. He had never felt this way about any other woman, especially a mere human. Ethan examined every inch of the girl's body, feeling his desire rise and wanting to touch her even more.
"You will be the first woman to make me fall in love. You are perfect, and you are my desire," he whispered.
Ethan lay down beside the unconscious girl, smiling to himself as he admired Alesha's face in awe.
The night arrived at the royal palace of Traid Damh. Ethan walked past his father's room, heading towards his own room not far from his father's. He faintly heard a conversation between two people inside and curiously eavesdropped near the door.
"I want that woman as the sacrifice on the night of the red full moon, which will happen in two days. How can we separate her from my son Ethan, who has fallen in love with that human girl?"
"Very well, sir. Don't worry, because I will devise a plan to deceive your son."
Upon hearing the plan, Ethan clenched his jaw, and in an instant, he changed direction, returning to the room where Alesha had been since noon. All his fantasies of marrying the human girl shattered. Ethan took Alesha out of the palace that very night, secretly. He dashed like lightning towards the steep cliff, determined not to let the woman become a sacrifice.
Some time later...
Ethan and Alesha were at the bottom of the cliff, where it served as a portal between two different worlds. Ethan confidently braved the rushing waterfall and brought Alesha into the human world. From a distance, Ethan could see the place where the woman lived, an old and dilapidated house that provided shelter from the scorching sun and the chill of the night.
"Wake up, you're home!" Ethan whispered gently in Alesha's ear, placing a sum of money beside her. The man could feel the unfortunate fate that had befallen the kind-hearted woman. He looked around at the old, crumbling house but noticed a photograph displayed on the wall, showing a couple with a young girl in the middle of them.
Ethan touched the display on the wall, smiling warmly as he looked at the beautiful young Alesha. He immediately felt a deep longing to possess her, wanting her to be his home, a place where he could pour out all his emotions.
"Uh... Where am I?" Alesha's voice sounded confused from inside the room. Ethan quickly darted away from the human's house.
Before the half-wolf man left Alesha's house, he looked back at the old house. "You will be mine someday."
That night Ethan returned to Traid Damh's castle, he didn't want the scent of his wolf body to be smelled by the chosen human who has been a wolf hunter since ancient times.
Upon arriving at the castle...
"Where have you been, Ethan, you've been missing from the castle since earlier?" asked the alpha suddenly, sitting in the chair in his son's room.
Ethan was stammered, he didn't know where to start the conversation. Because Ethan felt he couldn't hide his feelings at the moment. "I'm sorry, father, that woman is so perfect as a human. I fell in love with her and won't let you make her a sacrifice."
Matteo was furious, this was the first time his son dared to defy his orders. "Do you love that human so much, hasn't father told you if you have a relationship with an ordinary human then the existence of that human will be the trigger for the destruction of Traid Damh's castle."
"Why is that, father?" asked the lycan sitting near his father.
"Yes! Because your great-grandfather once advised that if one of the Lycans has a relationship or has intercourse with a human, then half of his power will disappear instantly and also will get karma from the ancestors of the werewolf humans!" the alpha explained to his son.
Ethan, hearing this, he just responded to it casually. For him, fate has been arranged by the Almighty.
