Chapter 258: Arriving at the wolves' den.

After half an hour of a crazy run, Sierra slowed down as she approached a forest with blue and white trees. These trees were big enough to make Sierra look like a normal wolf.

The weather was still the same snowy, windy, and stormy, but the temperature was clearly warmer. Still freezing cold, but not as cold as before. Even then, the vegetation in the forest was flourishing as a wide variety of blue, white, and green plants grew normally.

Evelyn could also see small animals looking at them curiously. Evelyn was impressed, "Wow. Even in this weather, life is flourishing in the forest."

Sierra said, "That's true. Even in the cold season, there is plenty of prey to feed one pack."

Evelyn's face froze, "What do you mean in the cold season?"

Sierra answered with slight confusion, "Hm? I mean, when the temperature stops being so warm."

Evelyn almost fell off Sierra's head because of how surprised she felt, "This weather is warm!? I'm almost freezing out here!"

Sierra snorted with laughter, "Freezing? Then, you would maybe freeze to death when the weather becomes cold, even for some wolves of my pack."

Sierra suddenly stopped and looked left. Evelyn was seated on her head, so she moved with her. Evelyn asked, "Is there something in that direction, Sierra?"

Sierra said coldly, "A group from their pack is approaching. They must have picked up my scent since I'm not hiding it on purpose."

Evelyn asked, "Why?"

"So that they guide me to their den. After dominating this whole area, they don't stay put in one place since they have to find food."

"How far are they?"

Sierra said, "Three and a half hills away."

Evelyn made a confused face before smacking her forehead, 'Am I stupid? How could a wild wolf know about the metric system? I will have to teach her about it in the future.'

After waiting for five minutes, a group of ten wolves jumped out of the woods and landed in front of them, showing off their auras and fangs.

However, they all froze when they saw Sierra, who was almost triple their size. Sierra was already bigger than a normal wolf before breaking through, so after doubling in size, it was similar to seeing a normal wolf beside a puppy.

Sierra looked at them with her icy blue eyes and sneered, "Weren't you so imposing just a moment ago? Appearing before me as if you were above me? Why are you suddenly frozen?"

Yet, the ten wolves were so terrified of Sierra's aura that they couldn't even answer. They were all frozen stiff with their tails between their legs. Evelyn almost laughed aloud.

Sierra didn't lose time and ordered, using her aura, "Get me to your pack leader. It is time I put an end to this."

The ten wolves didn't say anything, and they made way for Sierra with their tails between their legs.

Evelyn was barely holding her laughter, "Why are they acting like that? Shouldn't they try to bar your way? You are clearly going to fight their leader, right?"

Sierra then gathered energy in her throat and lifted her head, a powerful howl exploding from her. "AWOO!!!"

Her howl spread through the surroundings like a tide, making every creature in the surroundings know about the return of the Wolf Queen.

In one of the biggest caves, a three-and-a-half-meter-tall wolf stood up from its nap with a start.

This wolf was clearly more intelligent than the others. His fur was grey colored, but it had some red symbols over it, resulting in a beautiful but ominous beast. 'What a great surprise. She has finally returned! I thought she would just die alone somewhere in the mountains. Did she regret it after feeling death coming after her?'

He immediately gathered his pack and rushed out in the direction of the howl. However, he had some doubts. 'According to my calculations, she should have died two or three days ago. Even if she managed to return, the curse should have already weakened her immensely. '

He reached the area, and his eyes automatically locked onto the wolf that was almost thrice the size of any other wolf.

At first, he was scared since he thought it was a wild, powerful wolf that had come here, but the snow-white fur and those blue eyes were impossible to miss.

This grey wolf only knew about a single wolf with these qualities, the one that he wanted to make his mate at all costs. He was doubtful and didn't rush forward. His dulled instincts were screaming that something was very wrong. 'What happened? How did she become so big?'

Evelyn shouldn't be able to understand the next conversation as they spoke in their own beast language, but her connection with Sierra translated it for her.

Sierra also didn't miss the wolf with red glowing markings. Then, she declared with a powerful tone, "I've come back to take my pack with me. Release them, or I will have to kill my way out!"

He was at first surprised and then angered. He snarled and barked, "You've become so confident after being banished! Do you think that with just your strength, you will be able to escape?"

Sierra looked at him coldly and let her aura burst out. The weather seemed to become stormier as an explosion of energy burst forth from Sierra.

Yellow electric arcs coursed her body as her presence seemed to multiply before all the wolves eyes. "Since you are so determined. I challenge you to a death match to become the alpha!"

The wolves that were scared of the red-grey wolf were completely paralyzed before Sierra's imposing aura.

It wasn't just a matter of strength now. What these wolves were feeling was bloodline pressure!

Sierra hadn't been a Wolf Queen since birth. It was a mutation that happened after being near a lightning treasure from the heavens and earth.

Because this transformation happened when she was already in the third rank, it didn't change her completely, and traces of her previous self remained, creating a murky "Queen" aura.

However, Sierra's transformation when entering the fourth realm eliminated all these imperfections and let her become a complete Beast Queen, similar to Cecile before and after her rebirth.

Taking all of this into account, the current Sierra would be able to even fight against the whole pack of wolves since her aura suppresses them.

Evelyn was standing beside Sierra with a proud smirk. She felt a slight resemblance to her dragoness from Sierra when Yasenia went all out. 'Sierra also has this natural monarch vibe around her. Aren't I lucky to get a companion like her after getting a wife like Yasenia? I will become the Beast Queen tamer- *Cough* The Beast Queen companion!'

That red-grey wolf and those near him were different from the rest because they had gone through strengthening rituals that had changed their physiology to that of a mixed wolf. Therefore, Sierra's aura just suppressed them in the sense of a fourth-ranked beast facing a third-ranked beast.

After showing off her new might and intention to fight, Sierra didn't waste any more breath and pounced forward like a yellow lightning bolt.
