Humans have come to believe that no event in their lifetime happens for the first time. They believe no humans live once. There would have been someone in the past who acted nearly in the same manner as you are. Appearance might be near similar or might not be. They believe in reincarnation. They also believe that angels exist.

What about creatures that are beyond human genes? It could be that their genes are augmented with that of humans and some animals to create a new hybrid. Such as the werewolves. And what do the Werewolves believe?

"You! My dear, are the most perfect. There is no being like you. There has never been anyone like you, and there will never be," that's the perfect praise everyone from Noguchi gives to a beautiful woman. An astonishing woman that makes men drool. 

And Ashina will never be tired of hearing such. After all, she knows how rare of a gem she is. She knows her worth. Even though she tried being humble, men never stop letting her know that they would prefer if she was proud. 

"Ashina!," Amoux called her from behind. 

"Ashina, my beloved" he smiled and ran towards her. He got to her place within a few seconds. 

Even if Ashina loved being praised by men. She appreciates the lostness of men's sanity in her eyes. She loved how they became humble just at the sight of her. Their thirst that they want to be quenched by her presence and love. Even though she respected their readiness to go beyond their limits just to have enough time with her. She hated it coming from Amoux. 

"Oh, Amoux! How are you?" She greeted with a facade smile

"Oh! My wolf luck has greeted me with pure luck today. It says I will either be at my happiest today or see what would make me happy for the rest of my life," Amoux smiled, his face oozed with confidence.

"And isn't that lovely? And have you seen it?" She asked with interest even though she knew his reply. 

"Yes! And here you are my beloved. You are the one my wolf luck told me of." 

"That's… mph!" She sighed

"I am short of words. But that's reassuring" she smiled. She looked away immediately. She looked at the maids with her. 

"So where are you going? The woods or the city?" Amoux smiled.

"I planned on going out alone today. Just to be with my maids and not anyone else." She replied

"In Noguchi, there are two laws that attract heavy punishment from every pack. No pre-marital sex and that every male who knows his mate must treat her respectfully." Amoux said, appreciating his vast knowledge of Noguchi's law.

"That's exactly why I will appreciate it if you will leave me alone. Let me…" 

"And you think Lord Olcan would let that slide?" Amoux said. He knew what her father would do if he heard she rejected the son of his friend. The future alpha of the Hudun pack. 

The Hudun pack is a friendly pack to her father. Recently, there have been more Alphas coming to see her father. Even Alphas who have been hostile in the past have been visiting more often. And ever since the Huduns have been coming, Amoux has become unnecessarily close. And her father hasn't been complaining. She knew her father already accepted her to be a mate for the future alpha of the Hudun, but she doesn't want him.

And she couldn't deny it. The last time she had brought home someone she thought would be a perfect mate, her father had done a blood moon on him. The Noguchi punishment for pre marital sex is blood moon on the male part, and her father had accused him of seducing his daughter.

Since they believe the female werewolves were not capable of thinking for themselves not till they are a hundred and fifty years old, Ashina was spared of punishment. 

"So after you my lady," Amoux said. 

In Noguchi, a world dominated by werewolves. The apex predator. A world that was once part of the open earth but shrunk for some reasons best known to people of the old days and the sages of the modern day. In Noguchi, werewolves are the prevalent creatures, hence it's no surprise to see wolves who are either in their werewolf form or shifted to their human form. 

Ashina is always in her human form. In this form, she is able to show off her beauty. She could move around and let people marvel at her. They were other beautiful female werewolves in Noguchi. Ones more beautiful than her, but only in their human form. Every single one of them looks just as ugly as a monster comes, once they shifted to their werewolf form. 

Ashina in her human form ran towards the city without informing Amoux. She would try her best just to get out of his presence. 

"I knew it. The daughter of Lord Olcan is not someone to tamper with," he praised her speed. 

Even though he praised her speed, she knew he was faster than him. If not, how did he catch up with her even though she left before him?

"You should give a cue the next time you are about to take off," he said. 

"I am sorry. It's a bad habit that grew old." She apologized. She is not just tired of his presence, but that there is nothing to be done to get rid of him. Her father had warned her never to keep him hanging.

"Be friendly to him. He is a good one," he had ordered her. Even though she was the only daughter, the difference between her and her maids is just her name. 

They arrived at the city after ten minutes of running at super speed. Ashina's feet felt sour because she had to run at speeds she doesn't usually run, just so she could outpace Amoux.
