The wind in La Eterno Forest hit the leaves, causing the sound of leaves rubbing against each other. Valko was pensive in his room while staring at the top of the pine trees from behind the window.
The man was longing for his lover. The relationship is in a very concerning stage this time. Valko can't keep this up. He really misses being with Luna.
While busy reminiscing about the past while with the lover, suddenly his phone rang. Valko smiled broadly when he found out that it was Luna who contacted him. Valko immediately shifted the green button upwards.
He prepared to greet the lover with his loving voice. However, his happiness was lost instantly when he heard Luna's words from the other end of the phone.
"Help me! I want to be betrothed to Draco!"
"What's? You speak calmly!" pinta Valko's.
"I was forced to marry Draco! Uncle Diego lied to me! He made a pact with that bunch of demons!" There was sobs beginning to escape from Luna's lips.
"Where are you now? I'll be there!"
"I'm on ...."
Luna told Valko where she was. After the phone call closed, Valko rushed down from the room. He asked his father for permission to use a pride motorcycle that Alarick had not used for a long time.
"Where are you going?" ask Alarick.
It's not usually Valko to borrow his bike. He even chose to walk out of this forest every day. However, this time Valko looked so anxious and rushed.
"What's wrong with you, Val?"
"Luna was asked to marry Vlad's first son, Yah!"
"Vlad?" Alarick.
It has become an open secret for Canis people. The Vlad family is one of the strongest vampire races in the country. For this reason the tribal elders forbade them to face Vlad.
"Val, you know, who's Vlad's family."
"Know, Dad. But I can't do this! I don't want to until Luna is actually married to Draco!"
"Well, let's make a deal with them!"
"Yes?"
Alarick starts to reveal his plans to Valko. After a long discussion, Valko finally agreed to the idea of the father. For their safety, Alarick brought along some Canis people who were competent in the field of negotiation and martial arts.
Once all was ready, they all walked towards the forbidden forest. In that place there is an old well whose hole has been covered by wild plants. Some residents cleaned the well, and after the hole was seen Alarick advancing.
He began to cast a spell. Shortly after, a white light shot out from inside the well. Alarick orders Valko to enter first.
"Come in, imagining Luna's whereabouts."
"Good, Dad!" Valko immediately closed his eyes, then plunged into the well.
After that, Alarick ordered the same to everyone who participated. They were asked to imagine the face of a friend who had previously entered the well. Alarick came in last.
At the Jazmin hotel, Luna now sits back in the room where she had been. The girl failed to escape from the pursuit of Valko and security officers. Luna is currently in a dispute with her uncle. He did not accept the attitude of the uncle who had made the agreement without his consent.
"I don't know if their intentions are like this, Luna."
"Then what should I do, Uncle? I don't want to be shackled for life with that bloodsucking thing!" Luna continued to scream while looking at her uncle.
"So, that's a bloody deal. If I deny it, I'll ...."
Diego took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He remembered the contents of the agreement. The man thought that everything would be normal.
"Dead." Diego's shoulders slumped and the man's head bowed in lethargy.
"Gosh, Uncle! How can it be like this?" Now Luna was sitting limp on the soft chair below.
"Luna, I'm sure you want to marry Mr. Draco because he's handsome. He's a good kid too. As time went on, I was sure that you would fall in love with him. So, I approve of all that."
Diego recalled how Vlad showed the picture of his only son. Draco has a handsome face, and also looks good and simple. So, Diego is convinced that Luna will definitely love the man soon.
However, Diego's confidence collapsed today as well. Especially the Vlad family. They were immortal bloodsucking creatures that could attack Luna at any time.
"Uncle, I actually already have a lover."
"Who's the guy? Why do I never know?"
"Valko, the first son of the chief of the Canis Tribe."
"What! Didn't I tell you to stay away from him? They're the same as Vlad's family!"
Shortly afterwards, I heard a knock on the door. Rosella smiled flatly as she reached out, inviting Luna to immediately enter the ballroom. Luna had to follow Rosella. He has no other choice.
His second step stopped in front of a room with a two-meter-high door. As the door opened, Luna's eyes blinked several times to adjust to the incoming light.
The room looks very bright. The ceiling is decorated with dangling crystals. Left and right all the way to the engagement stage, decorated with a variety of white flowers.
"Calm down, honey. You'll always be fine and safe with us." Rosella smiled as she glanced at her future daughter-in-law.
Luna no longer paid attention to Rosella's words. He looked at the room one by one. There was a hope that suddenly occurred to him.
Val, aren't you coming? Are you willing for this engagement to happen?
Shortly after, from the direction of the entrance appeared an oval-shaped portal with a light that surrounded. Then, Valko came out of there followed by a few others and also Alarick.
Luna slips. He did not expect Valko would come to the hotel in such a magical way. Vlad stepped forward to them. He smiled kindly, and let the group in.
"Come, please! Enjoy the dishes we serve."
Alarick replied with a smile and then stepped up to welcome Vlad's hand. "We're actually here because we want to bring Luna home."
"You mean what?" Vlad was still trying to carve a smile on his lips.
"Let Luna come home with us. In exchange we will give you another girl to marry Young Master Draco."
"Do you insult us?" Vlad squinted his eyes.
"May we exchange Luna for a normal girl? You guys are mocking us? Luna is the goddess of Artemis. He can be a source of strength for our nation, by simply coexisting together." Vlad glanced at Luna.
"Luna's energy will dim for a long time if you continue to make it a source of energy." Alarick tries to remind Vlad of the bad impact Luna will have if they are determined to do so.
"At the very least, he'll stay alive for a long time. Instead of being with a pack of wolves. They'll pounce and tear his body, so it ends horribly." Vlad squinted his eyes then smiled obliquely.
Suddenly Alarick growled. Followed by the people he brought. Same with Valko. Slowly their bodies turned into a pack of wolves. Luna looked up to find another reality from the Canis tribe.
The girl realized that what her uncle said was true. They're all the same as Valko. It's a creature that looks terrible when angry.
