"sir Zaghard..."

No one could do something about it. They must obey their commander's order.

-fuh-

-fuh-

Khall's heavy breath could be felt by her skin. He was very close to her now.

"-krrrrrrrrr- SMELL...GOOD...MINE..."

-creek-

Shanti dropped the black chain and moved her hand closer to Khall's face.

"GHH.... HURT...."

Shanti looked at Khall's appearance in front of her. It's far from what she could remember.

His brown fur became darker and his eyes were red as blood. His fangs and claws were bigger and sharper than any Half-beast could have.

The most obvious changing was his muscles. It already far surpassed the limit for the Half-beast race.

Every Half-beast in the Ohre tribe wore a pair of leather bands on their arms and the reason for that was to know their limitation when they used their beast mode.

When their muscles were forced to grow by the beast mode, the bands would become tighter and they knew that's the time to stop. It's simply for their safety.

If you passed your limitations, you would lose your rational thinking and became a fully beast. When that happened, you're not the ROGNIR's children anymore.

"so you're not betraying us Khall.. just looking at you now make me understand that"

Her eyes showed a very sad feeling. Her families were killed by humans and it's not end there. They also did an experiment on them.

"they are even not letting you die as the Half-beast from Ohre tribe..."

"SHAN...TI...."

She tried to hold her tears and looked at him.

"yes Khall, what's it?"

Ragha was feeling really worry when he saw that. He didn't want anything to happen with her. He already knew how dangerous Khall was in his current state.

"Shanti!! don't get too close with him! he's not the Khall that we know!"

Shanti looked at him and gave a signal that she would be fine.

Meanwhile, Yana observed that situation with his jacket on his hands.

"Ragha...Shanti.. both of you are successfully fulfilling your role. I'm really proud" He smiled

Khall was moving his head closer to Shanti. Her scent, her beautiful silver eyes, her long silver hair, her dignity.... all of them gave some nostalgic feeling for him.

"SHANTI....MINE..."

She smiled when she heard those words.

"i see. So are we doing this again?"

She took few steps back and put her hands to the back.

"i must admit it Khall. You are the first male who never give up to propose me every single mating season.. and that's really impressive"

"MINE... GET CLOSER...."

"I'm always wondering you know? why me? i'm a shaman and i'm just an unattractive and stubborn woman"

"SHAN..TI..."

"you always told me that i'm the only woman that you ever want... every single mating season"

"MINE.. TOUCH ME..."

"for more than ten mating seasons... you keep chosing me.."

"KHAAAAAA.... HURTS....SHANTI"

Khall lost his temper. The pain from his wounds and his dying state made him losing control of his instinct.

"Shanti!! don't let him regenerate again! aim for the back of his neck!! that the demon's shard last spot in his body!!" Ragha shouted

"KHAAAAAA"

Khall raised his claws, so did Shanti. Khall was the one who took the initiative to attack.

"back then... i keep rejecting you because of my duty. I can never imagine how to love and live as an ordinary woman"

-dharr-

Heavy slam to the ground, Shanti dodged that and closed the gap between them by dashing toward his back.

"WHY....NOT MINE..."

-dharr-

Another attack missed its target. Shanti jumped and used her skill.

[FIRE BLESSINGS I]

Her claws were shining red. Her aim was on the back of Khall's neck.

"but now i can properly reject you..."

"SHANTI....MINE!!"

-zraash-

Shanti's claws pierced Khall's flesh. It's deep enough to make Khall howling.

"KHAAAAAA....WHY....."

-zreeb-

She pushed her claws deeper before she pulled them out with all of her strength.

-zraash-

-brugh-

Crimson blood danced in the air. The beast body fell to the ground. Shanti last attack ended the fight between monsters.

"i'm sorry Khall... i can't accept your feeling. Because i've already give my everything to my true alpha"

-fuh-

-fuh-

Khall's breath became weaker. His eyes slowly became empty.

"SHAN...TI....."

She approached him and sat near Khall's head. She softly stroked his fur and closed his eyes.

"a little wolf starts to walk....ground is his first friend"

Shanti started singing her pray.

"a child wolf starts to run....wind is his close friend"

Her tears flowed on her cheek.

"a big wolf starts to hunt..... forest is his close friend"

Khall didn't show any movement. His breath also stopped.

"an old wolf starts to rest... earth is his only friend"

She ended her praying.

"by the blessing of our beast god ROGNIR, may you have eternal happiness in the heavenly green field"

She wiped her tears.

"from earth to earth"
