Author's Note
The song really has nothing to do with this chapter, I just felt like adding it. If you hadn't noticed yet, I'm obsessed with kpop.

Here's chapter 39.

Sera's POV
The wolf and I stared at each other before he finally moved forward. I took a step backward and flinched a little when he growled at me. This wolf was obviously a rogue. It lunged towards me and I quickly shifted so that I could fight better. He jumped onto me, and his sharp teeth were inches away from my throat before I was finally able to push him back. This time, I attacked him first, and we fell onto the ground, both trying to injure the other. Nobody seemed to have the upper hand until three more wolves with the same red eyes popped out of the bushes. Internally, I cursed and started to retreat, even though I knew that they would never let me get away alive.
One of the wolves whose fur was a murky grey color leaned back, but before he could jump at me, I saw a familiar golden-brown wolf jump and attack him. I watched in surprise and disbelief as the humongous wolf quickly dismembered the grey wolf and then strolled over to me as if nothing had happened. Once the wolf grinned at me, I knew that it was Kurt. I let out a bark of laughter when he closed his eyes and smiled. He looked like a doofus, even in wolf form.
Harper told me what happened, you okay? he mind linked me.
I'm fine, but Nate's going to freak out when he finds out. Where is he?
Somewhere.
And with that, the two of us moved to attack the three wolves that looked decidedly less confident than they did a few seconds ago.

Nate's POV
I walked away from the dead body and continued to wander through the lobby, careful to always keep an eye out for anyone. The elevator seemed dangerous, so I opted for the stairs. I climbed them two at a time until I got to the next floor. My hand stayed on my gun holster, and I scanned the hallway before walking down it, looking for anyone who was hiding. It was eerily silent, the hallways were usually filled with people chatting, but right now, you could hear a pin drop.
"Hello," I whipped my head around and aimed my gun at a lone figure who was standing at the end of the hallway. As they walked closer and closer, I realized who it was.
"It's you again," I put my gun away and cracked my knuckles. "I thought you were gone."
"No," Liam answered. "I was able to use my last lifeline for this." I tilted my head to the side and raised an eyebrow. "I will die if that means you'll die with me."
"Where's that other guy?" I thought about how I wanted to smash their heads in when I found out that they had tricked my Sera.
"Derek?" he rolled his eyes. "I don't know, and frankly, I don't give two shîts if he's dead. Which he probably is."
"Mmm, so, do you want me to shoot you or do you want to fight me like a man would?" He paused for a second before I attacked him and we rolled on the ground as we fought. I bashed his face in with my fist, and his nose bled as he tried to choke me. I growled as he tried to scratch my eyes out.

Finally, I was able to subdue him, and I continued to punch his face over and over until it was barely recognizable. I heard a crack and felt his body go limp after a while, then threw his body against the wall. He was dead. Hopefully Sera was safe, I didn't want her to get hurt because of this useless piece of trash.

Sera's POV
I sighed and leaned against Kurt after we had fought the three wolves. I was still in my wolf form because I didn't want to be naked around anyone except for Nate.
I brought you some clothes. Kurt wandered behind a bush and threw me a shirt and a pair of pants. I hid behind a large rock and changed into them after I shifted. I sighed when I realized that he had chosen a pair of shiny green pants and a humongous yellow shirt for me. I don't even know where he got the shirt, it was so big that it would've swallowed Harper up. As I walked over to Kurt, he laughed when he saw what I was wearing.
"Why did you choose this?" I pointed to the shirt that went down to my knees.
"I didnt- HAH!" he stopped to laugh. "I just took something random!"
"You did this on purpose!" I punched his shoulder and tried to slap his face.
"Hey! Stop!" he grabbed my shoulders and held me back. "Sorry." He still had a doofus smile on his face, so I rolled my eyes and walked away without him. "I said I was sorry!"
"Shut up!" I stuck my middle finger up at him.
"Don't be angry, you look like a cute corn," he scratched his head.
"Gee thanks," I glared at him and felt the need to punch his face.
What an idiot.

The Emperor's Concubine
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The heroine is good and the villainess is evil. That was the absolute truth. That rule was undeniable as well as the fact that only the heroine would receive true love and her happy ending. Likewise, the malicious villainess would always suffer and leave the stage to clear the path for the perfect heroine in the end. So, for Blanche it felt like her world came crashing around her when she remembered the truth about her life. As the villainess in the typical romance novel “To Be Empress” she was fated to be condemned and abandoned by her lover. No matter how devoted she was to Theodore Estien, the emperor of Artias, she would only be the bratty concubine that would obstruct the heroine, who happened to be Theodore's lawful wife and the empress. In the end, the villainess would be deserted and executed. It was destined to happen like this, and yet she couldn't give up. She had to change the future. Preventing the romance between the main characters would get her killed. Much like trying to steer away from the enemies' intrigues, in which she was already caught up, would. But neither the heroine nor the emperor's political rivals would change the fact that Blanche loved the man that was supposed to be the heroine's. And no matter what happened she would always stay by her lover's side. So she wouldn't just follow the book's storyline and let her own doom arrive. Blanche would survive while trying to suppress all of the selfish desires that had made her the villainess. But was she truly fine with that? Did she not desire more than just surviving? Did she even have the right? Could the villainess ask for a happy end? Was she too brazen if she just wanted to stay with the man she loved and receive his affection? And wasn't there a bit more to this novel than she remembered? She didn't know and in the end that mattered little when the world around her changed with each day as more and more questions about the future and the past arose. "The Emperor's Concubine" will be updated thrice a week (usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) *The Profanity tag was added due to the characters' occasional swearing, which should not happen too often.

If I wasn't so pissed off I might've swooned over him. "How can I? When an angel is so close to me," He smirks.I fully turn myself towards him this time."Were you there? That night?" I have to know before I think about him in the light any longer. "No." He doesn't even hesitate, "But my father was,""If I may ask, what in the hell prompted him to take my brother from a car accident?"He plasters on a tight-lipped grin, a small tick in his chin.

8 161Artemis
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
