Chapter 33 – Children
Yelena smiled to see Yuji asleep. She was relieved that she didn’t see her back at that moment. However, it would soon happen.
She touched his shoulder gently waking him up.
“Come on. Mr. Kim wants to talk to everyone.”
“Good morning.” – he smiled.
“Good morning, love. I want to show you something before we go.”
She removed the white shirt and showed black roots scattered across her back.
“Yelena what is this?” -Her omega cried scared.
“Stay calm.” – she said caressing his face. “I’ll heal. That’s one of the reasons we’re here at Wolf Paws.” – she smiled. “Trust me. Do you?”
Yuji smiled and waved.
“Of course.”
“So, let’s go. As much as I wanted to see your beautiful legs for longer. We have an appointment.”
Yuji blushed with the comment and put on the uniform as soon as possible.

Everyone was already in the meeting room, this time without the director present.
“Can anyone tell me what uproar happened yesterday?” – Yelena asked, sitting quietly.
“Sera and Karim returned, but Lord Kim’s crows attacked them and he had to take them away.” -replied Kyria, loving to share the gossip.
“That’s right, Miss. Sera and Karim are fine, don’t worry. However, we have other matters at the moment.”
Jae Hyun came in and sat next to Kyria.
“Kallias should now be after Sera, probably. But she’s very well protected. We have to take advantage of that time. And finish the part you.” – he said looking at Joshua and Nayssa.
“What’s the next step?” Nayssa asked.
“I think we can go together to the two clans. Since you are united. It can save time. But I must warn you. After that mission is done, the biggest one will come. And it won’t be as easy as that. There will be war. In fact, it’s already having.”
He looked at Yelena and she knew what to do. The woman stood up and took off her shirt to her shoulders. Everyone was amazed to notice the marks on his back.
“Kallias attacked our clan before school started.” she said dressing again. ” Not everyone is immune to his powers. However, my family is also stronger than ordinary people. So we had no deaths.”
“Are you okay, Miss Petrova?” – Kyria asked, worried.
“Of course, we are here to heal that. But we need you to solve the curse. If not, I and many others will have no more hope.”
The silence was made by a bookcase until, Thomas signaled:
“When do we leave?”
“Soon. But I have one more thing to show you.”
A light came from his hand and a raven appeared.
“We wolves, we can make contracts with like-minded beings. You will still learn this, if one day we return to our old, Gloria. The beings that Kallias has contracted are ancestral wolves of the shadows. Not all of them look on the bright side of things. Sure enough, they’ve taken over my husband’s mind. I’m not trying to rid him of his guilt. But surely the fact that he has no mercy is part of their influence.”
“Do we have a chance against them?” – Joshua asked.
“After regaining the powers of their ancestors, yes. But with caution. So I’m accompanying them. We leave in 1 hour, get ready.”

The group decided to split into two cars. Even if it had space, Nayssa was definitely with Kyria and Raissa.
Jae Hyun smiled to see little Elisa smiling at her parents. This reminded him of his own son.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Do you have children, Mr. Kim?” – Joshua asked, curious.
Jae Hyun smiled, starting the car.
“Yes, I have a son. Kian is his name. But, he is well protected from his father. Not to be used in this war.”
“How would it be for us if this happened?” – Thomas signaled and Joshua translated.
“Terrible, to be sure.”
“Does Kallias know about this?” – Tom asked.
“Yes, and I fear that even the son is more important to this new person than he has become.” – Jae Hyun responded sadly.

Kallias found himself in his territory near Wolf Paws. Jae Hyun’s anger at hiding Sera from him tormented him.
Around him were the wolves of the shadows, howling. When the Mother sat beside her son, the creatures moved away.
“Are you sure about what you’re doing? If not for me, or Jae Hyun… think about your son. The child you didn’t know.”
“I think!” – Kallias looked at her angrily and the wolves growled.
He stood up and looked into her eyes. Mother showed no fear, neither of the children or the creatures beside him.
“Our world is destroyed. I need to change it. I need to be the force that makes it change.”
“Even if your family hates you in the process?” – she asked.
This made him hesitate for a moment. But the Wolf’s voices around him spoke to him.
Mother looked at them with a stern and dominant look that made them cry and cry. Too bad she couldn’t always do it for them to get away from Kallias. He was supposed to drive those beings away.
“Son. Do you remember when this started? That’s how you wanted things to happen?” – she asked solemnly.
Kallias remembered Mother crying for her children. Her being forgotten and the wolves losing their powers. He remembered the chosen ones corrupting the sacred Tree of their ancestors.
Anger consumed him and more intimate memories came to his mind. Where he tried to help them, but the wolves did not want to leave that life. They did not wish to leave ignorance behind and ascend into who they really were. They preferred to be trapped in their comfortable world.
“I will not let our world lose to those who do not want to see it. That is the only way, with fear and strength.”
“No! The way is with love and teaching.” – she stood up, imposing herself.
The water began to turn into a hurricane and the cave shook.
“I’m not afraid of you, Mother. You’ll have to arrest me or kill me to stop me.”
Mother looked at him with a pious look and was gone. She knew what the son was expecting, when he finally realized his mistake.
