LOVE ME KILL ME

01: THE FESTIVITY

Twigs snapping, in a muddy ground with stones that are stepped on and thrown. A night in the wild forest has noisy footsteps. Under the crescent moon above.

"Alice, Alice, "
Calling that name repeatedly in a soft voice. So that other shifters who are living nearby can't hear him.

The Beta name is Bagalto Marasigan.
is in haste to find his princess. He had to find her before the other shifters got her ahead.

"Grandpa,"
Finally, the little girl shows up.

"Alice, are you alright?"

Bagalto Marasigan looked around first and sniffed to confirm that no one had seen them this time.

"Come here, sweetie; it's alright, everything is alright; come to grandpa."

As the little girl walks naked to her grandfather. Wounds and mud covered her face and body. But, even though she was in human form, three sharp blades shines on her right hand.

Bagalto kneeled down and cried. He was surprised by the sudden deformity in his granddaughter; as a human-wolf, it is so early for her to deform her body. Most shifters got a sickness as a sign at the age of fourteen. The sickness will not be at ease until the first deformity happens when they reach the age of eighteen but, except for Alice, who is just 10 years old now and has no idea what she is doing, her innocent life might be in danger.

Arriving at home, Bagalto immediately bathed the girl, and after that, he brewed tea to calm himself down and think about what he was going to do, to keep his grand daughter safe. He can't stay at home for a long time, because the shifters in the border camp need him as their general.

"Grandpa,"
The little girl shows up again, but this time she is coming from her room.

Bagalto got her blended cocoa and milk from the cow. It has been her regular milk since her mother died. Then the little girl gave her grandfather a sweet smile while holding a glass of milk. Bagalto's heart melts in that way.

The old maid came in the kitchen and said

"Master, I am sorry I fell asleep."
This maid is a human who has lived in Bagalto's house since fifteen years ago.

"Starting today, your eyes will be on Alice while I am not around. The back yard, make sure that it is locked. Don't intercept anyone out there."

"Noted Master,"
The old maid nodded at him. She knew that this family was human-wolf. Same with her she was surprise for the early development of wolves in her age.

Six years later, in the Capital City

The sky appears more clear than blue as the sun is rising. Today's big celebration is keeping the city's busiest location busy.

The city hall was attended by two royal carriages. The carriage was being watched over by a few shifters, indicating that an important person was inside.

It would receive sideways glances from onlookers.

When the Marasigan family was spotted on the first carriage, a sense of contempt could be seen in their expressions, but otherwise they carried on as normal.

A young woman riding the second carriage was wearing enormous, flowing gray clothing. Her hair was twisted in an intricate layout and fastened back. She has stunning beauty. possesses pale skin referred to as "a large snow.

However, they were unaware of her hands, which could have made shifters doubt the girl. Despite having little hands, she constantly wore thin gloves over them. Because when she gets hurt, five sharp claws that shine like a blade grow right away on her distinctive nails. This gal is not an ordinary human wolf.
