Chapter 233 Unfortunate Beings

The Lycans finally arrived near the small town.

Now that it's past midnight, the town is very quiet. Though, there were still a few guards walking around carrying spears.

They were on an exhausting patrol. Reports about an increase in monsters around the town became the reason why the number of guards in the town increased.

The Lycans stared through the darkness of the forest with their wolf eyes.

Those eyes could see well even in the thickest darkness.

They did see the guards walking around. But the guards' faces look lazy and tired.

They wouldn't be able to handle the Lycans under those conditions.

"(Sigewulf, I'll go first and check things out,)" Grim, the Lycan with a slender human form spoke to Sigewulf - their leader.

"(Yes. You do that. Make sure that the bastard is there. And if he is there make sure how strong he is,)" SIgewulf said.

When he wasn't feeling angry, Sigewulf could think better. Grim was able to speak reason with him.

"(Alright.)"

Then Grim spoke carefully to Sigewulf, in a tone he had prepared and used many times so he wouldn't feel he was being ordered around.

"(For now, we'd better wait here. You saw for yourself how powerful the creature that attacked Bjarki's pack was. We can't just attack it right away.)"

Sigewulf threw his eyes at Grim instantly. His wolf eyes glowed in the dark.

"(You think we can't kill that thing?)" Sigewulf asked in a sharp tone. He even sounded angry at Grim.

Sigewulf was always like that. When anyone seemed to doubt his strength and abilities, he would immediately become defensive and intend to test his strength immediately.

Grim understood that and he really hated that trait.

"(No. I'm sure you can beat him. However, what about our other pack members?)" Grim said.

Even so, Sigewulf is a leader who loves his pack. He will not let them suffer and intends to fight all the enemies that approach his pack by himself.

And he knows that he is the strongest among the other Lycans in his pack.

Grim made good use of that side.

Sigewulf turned to his pack members. He looked at them in turn then nodded in agreement.

"(I'll handle it myself if it's that strong,)" Sigewulf said.

Grim nodded. "(Alright. I'll take a look. I won't be able to enter until tomorrow morning since humans usually start their activities in the day.)"

Sigewulf also agreed to the suggestion. So the Lycans now spent the rest of the night sleeping.

Grim waited for a new day to come so he could enter the town.

Grim's goal wasn't to sneak kill, so he had to go in early in the morning.

Because then he could ask the people living there and look for clues.

Even so, there was one among them who did not lie down to sleep. He is none other than Sigewulf.

Grim saw Sigewulf staring straight at the town as if he could see the shape of the creature that had killed his brother's pack.

Grim also knew that Sigewulf would not be able to calm down before destroying the killer.

Grim just let Sigewulf be like that because there was no point in persuading him to rest.

Sigewulf prefers to spend his time mourning the loss and magnifying his grudges.

Erend and Aurdis were still in the empty garden.

There were only the two of them so that made it even better.

They don't want anyone or anything to bother them. So this is the perfect situation.

The moon also shines on them. The wind blows gently with a somewhat regular rhythm.

Erend and Aurdis didn't feel cold. Because they are in each other's warmth.

They don't know exactly when this happened. Suddenly their lips met and kissed each other.

Aurdis lips that are soft and sweet pamper Erend. When their tongues finally met, Aurdis felt her mind drift.

It's too good.

The sound of their kisses seemed to be reflected by the trees and grass. Along with the wind that blows their bodies.

When a gust of wind brushed Aurdis's back neck, she shuddered, then deepened her kiss and her embrace.

Erend's hand crawled on Aurdis' smooth arm. Then it didn't take long for Erend's hand to reach Aurdis' chest.

Again driven by lust, Erend squeezed Aurdis' chest.

"Mhhh..." Aurdis groaned softly.

After that, her moans followed the rhythm of Erend's squeezing on her chest.

Suddenly, when Erend was getting into a faster rhythm, Aurdis' hand moved to hold his wrist.

Aurdis also broke the kiss. Their intertwined saliva fell when Aurdis took his lips away from Erend's.

"I think... I think we should stop now," Aurdis said.

Her face flushed. She looks like she's trying hard to control herself.

Erend actually still wants to continue. Maybe this is an influence of the ale. But he knows that he couldn't force Aurdis.

"Okay," Erend replied.

Aurdis could see that he was disappointed.

"Sorry. But... it's still too soon," Aurdis said.

"Y-Yeah yeah. You're right. I'm sorry." Erend smiled.

"You don't have to apologize. I enjoyed it. It's just that we can't go any further, yet."

Erend sighed. "I understand."

They stood up from the grass and stared at each other. Then Erend said. "I'm going back home now. I'll give you news about what happened later."

"Yes. Be careful," Aurdis said.

"You too. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have a problem or need help."

Aurdis nodded with a smile. Then Aurdis opened a Portal for Erend to return to his world.

Before Erend entered, he turned to Aurdis.

"I will contact you again to ask for your help in removing the Magic on that human soon," Erend said.

Aurdis only answered with a nod. Then Erend turned and stepped into the portal.

Aurdis sighed watching Erend disappear into the Portal.

There was a regret inside her that made her sad even though she had just experienced something fun with Erend.

"If only we weren't born in different worlds."
