Chapter 26: Chapter 26

OWEN

"What do you ask of me? You want me to satisfy you, Jonea?"

I didn't expect it; Jonea pushed me so hard that I fell backward. I grinned at her.

The girl looks very annoyed. I really like it when I see her angry and desperate like that.

Staring at Jonea at this close distance made me realize how attractive she was. Maybe she didn't realize that there was an enormous power within her.

"Stop teasing and playing games with me, Owen! We just agreed not to tell Daran about tonight's events. You will also be at a disadvantage if Daran finds out you are not taking care of me seriously."

Asshole girl. She knows what she's doing.

I gave up too. Although from the start, I did not intend to report tonight's incident to my uncle. I'm curious who the man who saved Jonea was when she was attacked by a warlock in the alley. That guy is indeed an Alpha Werewolf, but I don't know from which pack.

I stood straight and pretended I was stretching the muscles that felt stiff after she threw my body away.

"Now I doubt if you're a girl."

"You-" Jonea was annoyed.

"Get some rest so that tomorrow you can immediately return to campus. You have to pretend like nothing happened. Prepare for whatever reason it is if my uncle contacts you."

I was already walking away when she shouted.

"That red mark! I also saw it on your forehead. But why am I still okay around you, Owen?"

I looked down and grinned. I still have her back. "So you noticed? So starting today, you have to be careful with me, Jonea. I don't know when it got out of control. Occasionally, I could just eat you like the warlocks out there. Maybe I'm not a bad influence on you because I'm trying to restrain myself."

"How... how can I be free from the threats of the warlocks with red marks on their foreheads?"

"Perhaps you mean, how can you be free from my threat? Don't you already know the answer?"

I turned my head slightly over my shoulder. Jonea was still sitting on her bed.

"Of course, your wolf must be awakened! The seal shackled to the wolf inside you must be released. That's why Uncle brought you here, right? If your power is still sealed, then your holy blood will not provide any benefit either. So, please take good care of yourself, and don't cause me any more trouble."

"But-"

I continued my explanation. "Even though your brood's blood has not been able to provide any benefits at this time, but not for predators out there. They don't care about whether your strength has been resurrected or not. They only follow the instinct that you are the Red Moon Holy Blood owner. "

"I'm sorry," the girl said softly. "I will try not to make you difficult again. In your opinion, can Daran take off the seal inside me?"

"I'm sure he will try. Besides, it is hazardous for a Lycan if the power of his wolf remains sealed."

She looked surprised. I think Uncle still needs to explain this to Jonea.

"So, how long can I survive with sealed strength?"

"A miracle if you can still last until now. Because, in general, someone who has a wolf in himself will rise at the age of 18 years. If more than that, usually he won't last longer. "

"So, how long is the time left for me? And what will happen to me if the seal is not separated? "

I really looked at her seriously this time.

Look at your current condition, which is easily influenced by the magic power of the warlock. You can only last up to six months until the twin moon eclipses come.

"What?" I saw her jumping out of bed and approaching me. Jonea holds my arm, trembling, and asks. "What will happen to me after six months pass and my wolf hasn't risen yet?"

I looked at her with pity. Maybe what I will say sounds cruel, but I have to say what it is. I don't care what uncle will be as angry with me later. Letting this girl be in ignorance is very unfair.

"Then ... what will happen if my wolf hasn't been raised after six months?" She repeated the question.

"You will die!"

Her face was pale, and she looked like someone who was confused. "What?"

With my face and flat voice repeated my answer. "Jonea, if the wolf inside you is not immediately resurrected within six months, the worst possibility is you will die."

She laughed stiffly. Although her lips laughed, clearly, her eyes looked so scared and worried.

"What do you mean, Owen? Is this the way you joke with me? It's not funny at all!"

I just kept quiet and looked at Jonea seriously. At that moment, Jonea understood that I wasn't kidding, and she didn't laugh anymore.

"What do you mean I will die? I can't die this fast. There's something I have to do! Whatever happens, Daran must be able to release this seal from inside me! Because that's the agreement that we have agreed upon."

"You don't need to worry, Jonea. Try to calm yourself. I just conveyed the worst possibility you can experience, so you are more careful and look after yourself. Besides, we still have time for the next six months. Everything will happen once the twin moon eclipse appears in half a year. "

"Twin moon eclipse, what is it?"

I just stared at her without speaking. I don't want to add to her worries.

“Why do you think my uncle suddenly came out of his nest just to get to you, Jonea? This is not a mere coincidence.”

"What is it for? Say, Owen. I prefer to avoid playing puzzles like this. Please just tell me what will happen?"

I grinned and whispered the answer to her. The girl gasped.

"It is late. Tomorrow you have to go to campus. Take your time to rest, Jonea."

I carefully closed the girl's room door and went to my room. I am exhausted. I've never even been this tired.

Why do I have to care for that girl amid my hectic activities and busyness? This is really a very unpleasant task.

Just as I was about to throw myself on the bed, my cell phone rang very loudly.

"Fuck! Why don't these people ever let me calm down and be alone for a while?"

I took my phone half-heartedly.

"Yes, Uncle?" I answered the phone call warily.

"Owen Rivers, why didn't you answer my phone right away? I would have almost gone there this second if Loko hadn't tried to calm me down."

"That… sorry, Uncle. Things are a little tricky here. But I've been with Jonea and worked things out. She was sleeping in her room. And she's fine. She just goes to the club with her new friends."

I heard my uncle groaning. "I can't tolerate the same mistakes, Owen. I'm sure next week come there soon. Until then, never make any mistakes again. You understand?"

I spoke to tell you about my findings today, but I failed.

"Have all the preparations been completed, Uncle? We don't have much time here either.

"I know, Owen. So you don't have to cause any more trouble. I'm trying my best to prepare everything. Your job is ensuring Jonea feels safe and doesn't run anywhere."

I massaged my throbbing temples and put my phone down carelessly. I rolled to the right while straightening my back. But something suddenly appeared on my balcony.

"What the hell–"
