Chapter 28 - Confusion (1/2)

The two embracing figures were in a world of their own, enjoying and savoring the joy of their union, completely unaware of the turmoil their actions caused.

Creatures of different origins looked at one another as they stared with gaping mouths and wide eyes at the spectacle unfolding before them.

”Did the werewolf king just say the ancient wolf-mate claiming to the serpentine?” A merfolk maiden asked with wide eyes full of disbelief.

”He did. He really did! Has anyone here ever witnessed wolf kings claiming serpentines as mates before?” Another creature asked curiously.

”There has never been a wolf king claiming a serpentine as mate in the history of the Nar realm before.” An elder demon declared with caution as he looked deeply at the two entwined figures.

”Well, whatever. It is not like this is the first time that a werewolf claimed a mate before. What is the big deal for everyone to be causing such a ruckus?” An ugly ogre, with acid saliva flowing down his chin, asked as he looked around at the gossipy crowd.

”The deal is, that there has never been a werewolf and a serpentine mating before, let alone a werewolf king mating with a serpentine. As everyone in the entire Nar realm is aware, snakes and wolves are the two most blessed creatures in the realm, with the wolves even having linage with two sacred races. Their mating could be anything but ordinary.” Luke declared to the three clan leaders with cold eyes as he watched the werewolf embracing the flame hair girl.

He could not help recalling the three's first encounter. At that time, the vampires were planning on preying on the wolves to make up for the shortage in their food source. Hence, they set up a trap to ambush the scavenging werewolves. What they did not expect was the fact that the werewolf king was accompanying that particular pack for the hunt.

Therefore, the well-thought-out plan had a flaw. The werewolf king personally charged forward to obstruct Luke from interfering in the battle between the vampires and the werewolf pack, resulting in the complete failure of the scheme. Just when they were about to engage in a fierce struggle, a golden light flashed past them, making the two assume it as one of the six clans.

Thinking that a member from one of the six clans was present to take advantage of their conflict, the two chased after the figure, which turned out to be the serpentine girl.

At that time, he saw the strange way the wolf king looked at the snake girl, and wanting to find for himself what the wolf king found interesting in the girl, he looked at her.

He could not find anything. However, there was a nagging feeling in his heart and mind that he knew the girl. But from where, he could not place. Just as he was thinking that it was probably just a trick of his mind, the serpentine girl looked at him. And he saw. He saw the shock, surprise, and disbelief with which she looked at him.

It was that look that confirmed his doubt that maybe the girl knew him as well. And if she knew him, then it was not possible for his mind to be playing tricks on him. What he could not understand, however, was when he had met a flame-haired serpentine before. Because he would vow that he had never encountered a serpentine, let alone a flame-haired one, before.

When he met the same serpentine again at the flaming cracks, he could not find that familiarity with which she looked at him on their first meeting in her eyes again. She either hid it well, or it was a figment of his imagination that he felt she looked at him in surprise on their first meeting.

Thinking to this point, he looked at the two embracing figures and the more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt.
