Rylie watched as Lina poured the first bottle of dust and mold it into a circle. Then the nails, fur and roots was sprinkled on the dust and inside the circle. Then Lina chanted a spell.

Uldiralalu hikitdirakankul pararit erbasullaitba. Muldirakanbasulkul dira etraut ulp'ar. Utlaetba luitbadirakulba'er dirakan'er utlaetba kuldiratrabakan. Kulmiklasul lasul kulmikba suldiraluitlaetlaluba la mikdira'er hiklarikbakan. Hikitdirakankul ul'ar erbasullaitba.

(Magic grant our desire. Manifest a full moon. Life created and life taken. This is the sacrifice I had given. Grant my desire.)

She repeated the language that they can't quite understand, until the circle glowed into a yellow then red and then blue colors. It was such a magnificent thing to see.

The children clapped their hands and Lina only smiled at them. Even Kelly was happily clapping along.

Lina put a drop of blood on her pointing finger and made a gesture. She wrote 31 in the air with the blood. The blood floated in the air and slowly disintegrated with yellow colors. Then the materials from inside the circle started to clumped together until it became a marble that looked like the moon.

The children were about to swarm Lina but the other black robed figure lead them away and nodded to the high priestess.

Lina nodded back and turned towards the circle, gathered the marbles and put it inside a pouch. Took one marble out and showed it to her.

"You want a demonstration?"

"H-How do you know the spell for a pseudo full-moon?" Rylie couldn't help but asked.

Lina looked at Kelly as if the latter didn't tell her why.

Kelly scratched her head. "Of course before the witches and the werewolf got along. The witches are doing the werewolf pack a favor in turn for the drop of blood they would have."

"One of them created a pseudo-moon." Lina added. "So about that demonstration?"

Rylie nodded her head. Lina then put the pouch in her hands. She closed her hands around it.

The high priestess walked a few steps back and looked at the two of them. "Kelly, do you know how to use a pseudo-full moon?"

"N-No." Kelly swallowed and looked away.

Rylie's eyebrows furrowed. She knew that Kelly trained under the heretic witch to awaken her Lobo form. But maybe Kelly wouldn't say that she knew that because Lina will eventually question her.

"So. Basically, this is how you use the pseudo full-moon. Just step on it until it cracked. Or use your strength as a werewolf to crack it using your hands."

Lina stepped on the marbles and when they heard the crack it created. The whole place where they are suddenly turned grey and the full moon can be seen above them.

The high priestess proudly smiled at them. "Easy as pie, right?"

Rylie smiled back. "Thank you Lina."

Lina nodded her head. "Well, now I can prove to you that I am not the traitor. I will never be. I want the same thing as you. I want peace for all of us. Where there is harmony among all of us. If the werewolf clan will allow it. Maybe we can also live in harmony with the were-witches."

Rylie shook her head. "The werewolf told me that were-witches are taboo of nature. We can't let them live."

Lina sighed. "If they are taboo or not intended by nature. They won't happen in the first place---"The high priestess put up a hand when Rylie was about to open her mouth. "Hep, I am not finished yet. I mean isn't it like creating something new?"

Rylie shook her head. Her eyebrows furrowed. But she chooses not to say anything, least the high priestess will be offended.

"T-Thanks for this." Rylie awkwardly lifted the pouch and smiled.

Kelly bowed and also thanked the high priestess.

Lina's mouth lifted in a corner. "I guess you disagree with my opinion, Rylie."

"But we don't have to argue about it." Rylie added.

Lina shook her head and smiled. "You are right. We don't have to argue about it."

Lina then showed them out of the mansion. Kelly and her bowed one last time before walking back to where they came from.

"So, what's your plan now?" Kelly asked her.

Rylie bit her lip. Should she say it to Kelly? They both knew that Nora can see and hear through the tall woman. But if she doesn't, Kelly will feel hurt that she didn't say anything. Despite the fact that Kelly was the one who told her about the attack on the pack she would still lie?

"W-Well...." there was hesitation in her voice that it made Kelly's smile faltered.

"I-I'm sorry I should not ask. I know your mission and I shouldn't really meddle." Kelly bowed her head. "I'll get back to the pack. Be careful."

Rylie grabbed Kelly's arms that made her stop. "I'm sorry, Kelly...I-I know I should have answered that there's nothing wrong with that."

Kelly bit her lip. "It's ok, Ry."

Rylie shook her head. "No. It's not ok. I'll probably go back to my mother's house."

"Oh." Kelly's mouth formed into an 'O'. "D-Do you want me to go with you?"

Rylie was taken a back. Should she let Kelly accompany her? What about the safety of her family? The only reason why her grandma and her mother is still safe is because only Aly was the only one she allowed to go with her. If Nora knows where her mother and grandmother is, the heretic witch won't hesitate to use them as a leverage.

"I-I'll just go with Aly. She will be able to keep up with me."

Kelly opened her mouth but closed it again. There was a brief flashed of emotions in her eyes and she nodded her head. "Let's go back to the pack immediately."

Rylie nodded her head. 'Let's transform into our werewolf. It would be faster to go back.'

'Ok.' After that they sprinted and transformed into a werewolf in mid-air.

It only took them a minute before they reached the pack's location. It was already dark when they reached it.

"I'll get going then, Rylie." Kelly waved her hand and smiled at her.

Rylie sighed. At least Kelly didn't get offended by her not letting the latter accompany her. Maybe Kelly got what she was trying to convey with her silence and the hidden meaning behind what she said.

Now, where's Aly? Rylie walked in the whole area but there was no Aly in sight. She must have been in her cabin.

So she walked towards the direction of the cabin she knew so well. Rylie bit her lip and looked around. The whole pack is grieving again. Her hands closed into a fist. She wished that they would know peace. A long lasting peace and not waiting for another attack again.

Her heart jumped inside her chest when she saw the front of the small cabin. She knew that Aly and her is not in good terms. Well, in her part at least. Aly wasn't the type to bear a grudge but she was still nervous to ask her mate for a favor.

Maybe because she was too harsh? But it was what she felt at the moment.

She went to the front of the door and put her hands in mid-air. Should she be asking Aly a favor? She closed her eyes tightly. She was about to turn around when someone spoke.

"Aly?"
