Chapter 309 - Irritation

"I-It's Mythical Aura!", Ruston said in surprise.

The black figure's body is radiating with immense pressure that can even pressure a Werewolf like him, it has no other explanation besides that.

In order to suppress an Alpha like him, the other Werewolf must possess a higher bloodline.

Since his bloodline is the current highest one just like King Baralt, the only thing that can suppress him should be a Prince which should be standing in front of him.

The Werewolf beside Ruston started to get pressured to the ground,

Each step of the black Werewolf in front of them amplifies the aura coming out of him, the Werewolf's steps are slow and powerful.

But even so, Ruston kept standing even under the pressure, "Who are you?"

"Zegrath...", the black Werewolf replied with its baritone voice, he looks down on Ruston with an even bigger physique than him.

It was the Werewolf that fought with Rex in Zrolis City,

If Rex were here, he will be shocked to find that Zegrath has changed so much since then.

Ruston frowns upon hearing this name, it sounds familiar before he suddenly remembered, "You're Jarvald's pack Omega?! How did this happen?"

"I'm no one's Omega", Zegrath replied shortly but firmly.

Hearing this, Ruston looks around the room before he asks, "What happened to Bertolf?"

"I ate him", Zegrath replied again without a hint of remorse in his tone.

Crack!

After saying that, Zegrath's right arm suddenly creates a cracking sound.

His right arm started to transform becoming bigger than it used to, and seeing this Ruston widen his eyes in surprise, "Devour..."

"You-You possess the Prince bloodline from the Fridolf Family!", Ruston said in surprise.

Growl...

Zegrath growls lightly making Ruston's heart tremble, he exposes his fangs as he looks at Ruston intently after what he said.

Redline appear below Zegrath's right eye,

The red line started to go down to his chest lighting the dim place in red, it went on to Zegrath's stomach creating somekind of a symbol on his body.

It makes Ruston's eyes lit up as he marvels at the red line,

The Werewolf beside Ruston was surprised upon hearing this, he then said amidst his pressured state, "If the King know this, we will be-"

BAM!

Before he can even finish, his face got planted to the ground heavily.

It was nothing but a wave of Zegrath's hand, but even so, he manage to silence a powerful Werewolf with no sweat.

Even after Zegrath did that, Ruston didn't do anything to help.

There's a maniac grin on Ruston's face as he glances at the Werewolf that struggles to raise his gaze, "Don't you still not get it?"

"King Baralt is not befitting of his throne but since he's the most powerful it's fine to let him sit on the throne, but now..."

Ruston glance at Zegrath who stands in front of them mightily, "A Prince has Awakened!"

Hearing this, the Werewolf widened his eyes in surprise before he looks at Zegrath with red linings decorating his body, "A Prince..."

After saying that, Zegrath looks to the sky before he sniffs the air.

"Lunar Eclipse is coming", he mumbles lightly.

Then he looks at both Ruston and the Werewolf before he said, "Help me prepare myself for the Lunar Eclipse, and I will help raise the Werewolves to power!"

Meanwhile, 

"I see you that you're well, Edward", a voice said from the side.

Adhara and Edward look at the person that said this before their eyes widen, especially Edward who held his arm unconsciously after seeing the person in front of him.

The snake-like smile on his face makes Edward grit his teeth,

He put his arm in front of Adhara signaling her to get back as he said, "Hans, I'm surprised to see you visit so late at night"

"Aren't you bold coming here alone", he added with a frown.

Rex just explain to them about the situation with the Atkins, but Edward and Adhara didn't expect them to come at them so soon and bold as Hans did right now.

Hearing this, Hans chuckles lightly that sounded more like a hissing than a chuckle.

He then said, "How's your arm? I see that it got better than when I saw it last time"

"Considering that you're the one that put the bug in my arm, you sure are quite caring", Edward replied sarcastically with a big of anger in his tone.

Adhara stands silent behind Edward as she inspects Hans,

She looks around the place and finds that the place was empty, Adhara was aghast since there should be some lecturers around them.

But when they needed them the most, the lecturers are not present.

"Come on, It's just a friendly prank no need to take it to heart", Hans said as he approach them slowly while shrugging his shoulders.

Seeing this, Edward shouted, "Stop! Don't get any closer!"

"Fine, If you're scared of me that much then I'll stay back", Hans said with a grin.

After saying that, his small eyes landed on Adhara behind Edward who is looking at him intently with careful eyes, "I must say, I didn't expect you to be here"

"Same for me", Adhara replied coldly.

Hans then suddenly widen his eyes playfully and said, "Don't tell me...You're having an affair with Edward? Is this really happening?"

"Shut your mouth!", Adhara shouted as her eyes glowed with purple fire.

Hans raised his hands playfully before he said teasingly, "I know that you must be heartbroken by what Rex did with Rosie in that train, but an affair with his best friend? Now that's just low"

The words that came out of Hans's mouth makes Adhara's breathing start to get heavy.

Edward notices this as he whispers, "Don't listen to him, he's just trying to provoke you. Just get out of here right now, I'll handle this"

When Adhara was about to turn her body to leave,

"You should've heard what the witness told me, Rex really enjoyed her that night"

Hearing this, Adhara's stopped as her body started to tremble. She glared at Hans hatefully, "You're lying! They didn't manage to do anything that night!"

"How naive", Hans said playfully.

"Do you know that the train hostess has to evacuate the whole cart because of the two? Rosie's moan is too loud so they have no choice but to do that. Doesn't this mean that Rex also loves Rosie or in fact maybe he loves her even more tha-"

BOOM!

Adhara's body exploded with purple fire as she grinds her teeth hatefully.

The ground cracked right after the purple fire exploded from Adhara's body, but when she was about to lunge towards Hans, Edward stopped him.

"Stop it Adhara! Get out of here right now!", Edward said while holding Adhara back.

But Adhara didn't hear him at all as she struggles to break free, her eyes are fixated on Hans as the urge to skin him alive clouded her mind.

Adhara's hand gripped Edward's arm trying to make him let go but Edward won't let her through that easily.

"Rrghh!", Edward grunted when suddenly his arm got stabbed.

Edward looks down at his arm and saw Adhara's fingernails become weird, it's growing sharper than they should be.

"Fiesty", Hans said with a wide grin.

After putting more power, Edward pushed Adhara back before punching her on her stomach.

BAM!

The punch makes Adhara's body bend as the air on her lungs got pushed out, it was the only way to make Adhara snap out of her anger, "Stop!", Edward shouted.

Hearing this, Adhara snapped out of her anger unwillingly.

She looks at Hans one last time before she spits towards him making Hans chuckle playfully.

Edward lets go of Adhara after he found that Adhara is already calmed down.

He then looks back at Hans and asks angrily, "What do you want?"

The alarm has already gone off since Adhara's purple fire exploded from her body, it won't take long for the lecturers and security to arrive here.

"I want to know where did Rex knows about the scandal", Hans asks.

Edward frowns since he somewhat expected why Hans is here, he then said, "You know that asking me will be useless right? I won't tell you a damn thing"

Hans looks directly on Edward's eyes seriously,

"You can still walk away from this Edward, We can still let you go", Hans said seriously.

Hearing this, Edward frowns in confusion before Hans added, "Just think about it, Supernaturals paid him a visit a couple of times. And he even knows how the Demons manage to infiltrate us after they manage to infiltrate us, don't you think it's safe to say that he's a Supernatural Spy trying to gain trust from humanity?"

While Hans is saying this, the sound of footsteps can be heard.

"Just tell us what you know, and you can just walk away", Hans said one last time.

Right after he said that the lecturers and securities came with Linda leading them, her eyes caught Hans talking to Edward before Hans' body turns into the air and disappear.

Linda approached both of them and asks, "Are you guys okay?"

"Yes, We're okay", Adhara replied as she retracts back her aura.

After hearing, Adhara said that Linda glanced at Edward who is looking down in thought.

She touched Edward's shoulder before Edward snapped out of his thought, "Oh? Yes, I'm fine don't worry", he replied hurriedly.

Linda sigh before she looks at where Hans left, "That's definitely Hans...", she mumbles.

The lecturers and securities checked the place, 

Linda dismissed them from asking questions to Edward and Adhara, so both of them went back to their own rooms after getting checked by a healer.

In front of Edward's room, Adhara and Rosie stopped for a moment.

Adhara was troubled by something before she asks, "Did you see it?"

Hearing this, Edward frown but before he can even answer Adhara immediately shakes her head and said, "Forget about it"

"Goodnight, Edward", she added before she left.

Edward waves his hand stiffly while seeing Adhara's back walking further away, 

After Adhara's figure disappear from his sight, Edward looks to his arm where three punctured holes and a few scratches were left from Adhara's gripping his arm.

But then, he shakes his head before he looks back where Hans disappeared to.

Although it's expected that Wesley would want to know where Rex got the information from, Edward didn't expect Hans to pay him a visit.

He even manages to rile up Adhara with his words, it was also a surprise to him.

Since Rex doesn't like to talk about this, he didn't tell Edward so the only ones that know this is Kyran who found out about it, and Adhara who Rex must tell.

Edward can only shake his head with a sigh upon knowing this matter.

"I hope Adhara will be okay since she knows then Rex must've cleared the matter already", Edward mumbles as he opened the door.

But nevertheless, he got quite a bit of information from the exchange.

Hans said some interesting things in the exchange they had just a moment ago.

It makes Edward realize something, "So that's what he's saying to the others huh... I need to tell Rex", Edward mumbles before he went inside his room.

Back in Rex's room,

The door opened as Adhara walks inside making Rex jolt from the bed.

Since Adhara just gave Rex the green light just before she left, Rex already becomes excited but then he saw a weird gloomy vibe coming out of Adhara.

"What happened?", Rex asks in confusion.

Just when Adhara left the room before, she didn't have this kind of mood so what changed this.

Adhara crawl to the bed before lying down facing the other way from Rex while covering her body with the blanket, "Nothing, I'm just tired"

"Have you talked with Edward?", Rex asks.

Hearing this, Adhara buried her head in the pillow deeper and replied, "Yes"

Rex was confused about her sudden change, but then he takes out a map that the Vampire before marked and said, "I've been thinking, after the banquet, we will attack a Vampire City. A low-rank one, of course, just to test the water"

"I also got an information that there's a fire spirit there for you, it'll be great. We can think of this as preparation to try and save Rosie", Rex added.

But upon hearing Rosie's name, Adhara gripped the blanket harder.

Rosie's name irritates her because of what Hans said before, she then mumbles, "Maybe we sh-"

"What did you say?", Rex asks since he can't hear her mumbles.

With a deep breath, Adhara then said again but a bit louder making Rex's eyes widen in disbelief, "Maybe we shouldn't save her...."
