Chapter 269

269 The Wolf And Its Cub

Selma Payne’s POV:

I stayed in the lounge alone, and no one disturbed me. Everyone else’s rooms were closed as they tried to create a safer and quieter environment for me.

Finally...

I could feel that the moment that belonged to me had arrived. the moment the moonlight reflected in my irises, I broke out of the window and faced the white light, looking up to the sky and howling-

“Awooo...”

Hair broke out from my itchy skin, and my sharp nails tore my shoes and socks. My limbs were more powerful and slender, and my cold eyes could easily see the bird flying in the sky.

I’d completed the transformation in the time it took for my eyes to close.

The wolf’s vision was a wonderful vision. The wolf’s huge body did not reduce the field of vision because of its four feet on the ground. Its superior vision allowed all details to be seen. As far as a cloud on the horizon, as close as the dust floating in the air, this feeling of nothing in the world could hide gave people a sense of security.

The only thing that surprised me was that something that should not have appeared on my back-

It was a pair of black and gold wings that I was very familiar with.

Didn’t this thing only belong to kin? Why did I have one too?

I flapped my wings gently, and I was shocked. It took me a few seconds to realize that I was controlling it.

Wait, why was I the one controlling it?

Where was Maxine? Where did she go?

I tried to call out to her in my heart, but I didn’t get a response. This time, I panicked a little. After trying to no avail, I subconsciously wanted to ask Tracy and Master Mary for help.

However, I heard a weak whimper from where I was standing before I could run a few steps.

“Ah... I can finally breathe. You’re so heavy. I was almost crushed to death by you.”

I turned around and saw a furry little wolf cub sprawled on the ground. It couldn’t even open its eyes, but its round mouth could already make a howling sound.

What was this?

I was a little confused.

Where did this wolf cub come from? Shouldn’t the training ground have been cleared?

No, who was talking just now?

It?

If anyone could see it, the scene would be very funny. A two-meter-long giant wolf stood stiffly in place, and the thing that made it look like it was facing a great enemy was a wolf cub that was not even the size of its claws.

Suddenly, the wolf cub spoke again, “The ground is really cold. There’s not much hair on my belly. Selma, what are you doing? Pick me up quickly. I don’t want diarrhea to be the first thing I do after obtaining a physical body. That would be too embarrassing.”

It knew my name.

A certain whimsical thought gradually surfaced in my mind. I asked, “Are you... Maxine?”

“Who else can I be?” The wolf cub howled unhappily. “Hurry up. I’m freezing!

It was really Maxine!

I quickly picked up the wolf cub, but there was no place to put it on the cold concrete ground. I had to lie down and put it on my stomach.

By the way, my fur was a beautiful silver-white color. Coupled with my soft belly, even I wanted to bury myself in it and take a deep breath.

Maxine didn’t seem to be surprised at all. I asked, “What’s happening? How did I turn into a wolf, but you are separated from me?”

“I don’t know, but I have to say that I’ve always had this feeling,” Maxine said. “Do you still remember when you blocked me at the Rocky Mountains? Since then, I had a vague feeling that we differed from the average werewolf. Although we are twins, we didn’t seem to be closely connected. I could even occasionally feel an obvious rejection.”

“I swear I don’t hate you,” I immediately clarified.

Although the wolf cub couldn’t open its eyes yet, I somehow felt that Maxine was looking at me as if I was an idiot. “Of course, do you remember that we share the same thoughts? If you dared to hate me, I would have let you have a taste of schizophrenia.”

Back to the matter of leaving the body.

“In short, I think our separation this time is still out of your own will.” Maxine said, “Although you may not have such thoughts, the depths of your soul express such thoughts.

I thought it was ridiculous. “The soul wants to separate, but I don’t have such thoughts. Isn’t that contradictory?”

“Yes, it’s very contradictory. But haven’t you experienced enough contradictions?” Maxine sighed. I had to admit that the wolf cub’s actions were very cute. “Even after your physical body was destroyed and reassembled, and you became a god, you still couldn’t see the secrets in the depths of your soul. In that case, I don’t think there’s a need to think about such things now. Just accept reality with peace of mind.”

“How can we do that? It’s very dangerous for my soul to have an independent consciousness.”

“You know it’s dangerous, so what? How do you think I can solve it? If you, a god, didn’t notice the problem with your soul, it meant that it was something that even gods couldn’t solve. What can you and I do with our current strength? Instead of worrying unnecessarily, it’s better to solve the current problem first. I feel I can’t go back as a wolf cub. What should I do?”

What?

I suddenly felt a headache coming: why was I always encountering rare incidents like this?
