When the night passed, the sky became brighter, and the beasts and monsters who had a carnival night in the mountains and forests enjoyed a bloody night and returned to their lairs.

The spring sun is warm and bright, casting rebuttal light and shadow in the woods.The breeze brushed over the green leaves spattered with blood droplets, and the faint fishy smell lingered at the tip of the nose, making people even more irritable.

The werewolves had wounds of various sizes, among which the one on the abdomen was the most serious. The silverware soaked in holy water and engraved with spells could always deal a severe blow to these dark creatures who were born with extremely strong defenses.

"It's so ugly, you who almost died under the hands of the exorcist." Joseph swept the werewolf's bleeding wound condescendingly, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, with obvious sarcasm: "Stay with the she-wolf for too long, you Can't even move your claws?"

"I'll kill him sooner or later!" The werewolf pulled out the silver arrow on his shoulder violently. The wounds and bloody smell on his body stimulated his nerves, and the words "exorcist" and "estrous period" undoubtedly made the werewolf even more irritable.

He almost died at the hands of the exorcist, and the werewolf who loved to kill felt very shameful. Although the exorcist was also seriously injured, Killing Heart kept clamoring for him to catch up and bite off his throat.

"So, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Joseph carelessly rolled his gray hair around his ears, he was not interested in why the exorcist entered the cursed land, or how the clansmen fought with the exorcist.

"The night of the full moon, the day of sacrifice." The family's task made the werewolf barely calm down: "I want to find that human --- do you think that joining forces with the exorcists can escape the fate of being a sacrifice? Dreaming!"

The werewolf summoned the wolves and ordered them to continue looking for the human girl in the forest, and suddenly thought of something: "Speaking of which, I saw her near your residence."

There was an indiscernible pause around the gray-haired fingertips, and Joseph gathered his fingers in a leisurely manner, and smiled inexplicably: "Really."

The wolf family is a family system and has always lived together.However, Joseph likes to be alone, especially during the estrus period. In order to avoid those restless clansmen who can make noise almost in a second, he always avoids his family and comes to live in a solitary place.No one has ever seen him in heat, and the instinct flowing in his blood seems to have fallen asleep. He is always elegant and calm, powerful and restrained.The werewolf glanced at his companion beside him. With his exquisite and decent attire and his luxurious and graceful demeanor, he felt more and more that he couldn't understand this fellow.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Joseph's mouth. The wolves respected loyalty and had always been monogamous. However, this deviant wolf had obviously not met anyone who could restrain him.

The news brought by the return of the wolves was disappointing again. It stands to reason that such a powerless girl could not run out of the forest by herself, but the werewolves could not find her again.

The injuries on his body made it impossible for the werewolf to continue. Fortunately, Joseph's castle was not too far away. Joseph was silent about this, and glanced at the wound on his body: "Whatever."

It didn't take much effort to treat the wound. If it wasn't for the little rabbit in the castle, he wouldn't mind taking in his seriously injured fellow.At this time, the girl should still be resting in the room... It's just that there are some things that the werewolf gentleman can't predict, for example, after pushing open the castle gate, the little girl who knows nothing rabbit.

"Joseph?"

The girl stood there, holding an apple in her hand, with doubts in her purple eyes.

The air seemed to be quiet for a moment, and the werewolf's eyes suddenly turned sharp, looking suspiciously at his fellow nobles in front of him: "Why is she here?"

It's bad.

The same clan, the exorcist who came to look for sacrifices... The little rabbit that bumped into it recklessly, was obviously marked, but the feeling that his prey was missed by many people still made him feel uncontrollably. A trace of displeasure.

Joseph smiled calmly, and casually loosened the neckline tied with gemstone buttons: "Are you questioning me?" He tilted his head, looking a little mischievous, but his blue animal pupils were cold. Of course, even the words he uttered were tinged with cold mockery.

"It's not me who accidentally lost the sacrifice."

The werewolf was at a loss for words.

Like a gun barrel that is about to explode, it is extinguished alive and well. Although wolves in estrus are always particularly easy to fight, this time it is obviously not wise.He took a few heavy breaths, and stared coldly at the girl who didn't understand what happened: "I think you know that a pure girl is the best sacrifice."

Beth Fenley couldn't help shrinking back under the cold gaze that seemed to be sizing up an object.

She couldn't feel any kindness from this werewolf, so she turned her eyes to him as if asking for help, as if she wanted to hide behind him.Joseph held the corner of his mouth: "Of course, there is no doubt about it."

After getting the promise he wanted, the werewolf snorted coldly, and went out directly instead of staying to treat the wound.

The girl who couldn't understand what they were talking about looked at him blankly: "Excuse me, what is going on?"

But the words that followed made her at a loss as if she had been poured with a basin of cold water.

"Tomorrow, I will send you to the altar of the wolf tribe."

The girl froze, and looked at him in a panic: "Are you serious... What is that place, and what are you planning to do to me?"

Joseph tapped the cane with his fingertips in a leisurely manner, and smiled: "Let's not talk about what we are going to do, Miss, what are you doing?"

Why do you want to run out at this time?

His eyes fell on the apple in her hand, the bright red one contrasted with the white fingers, the round nails were neatly trimmed, and with the sound of belly sounds, the fingers shrank involuntarily.Beth Fenley blushed: "I'm a little hungry, so..."

Joseph raised his eyebrows, remembering that he did not prepare food for the girl, and werewolves love meat, so there is usually no ready-made food in the kitchen.

"It's my fault, since that's the case," he took the apple from her hand, and turned it around in his palm playfully: "Miss, please wait for a while."

He tilted his head, his ears moved slightly, the blue Youyou's animal pupils were dimmed for a moment, and his lips curled up: "...It's really time to treat Miss well, it just so happens...I'm hungry too."

... Until Beth Fenley sat at the dining table, looking at the steak cake in front of her, and the gentleman opposite her who was cutting the steak gracefully with a knife and fork, she couldn't recover for a long time.

The young man moved slowly, holding the knife and fork with his slender fingers, and divided the food on the plate very skillfully. If it weren't for the overly long and sharp nails and the gray animal ears on his head, no one would compare him with the terrible werewolf get in touch.People always have a natural fear of dark creatures, but Joseph always breaks her inherent impression of werewolves.

"Don't you have an appetite?" Seeing that she hadn't touched her hands for a long time, Joseph put down the tableware slightly: "There is not much food in the house, and there is no preparation in advance. It's a bit rough. Please forgive me, miss."

Beth Fenley came back to her senses: "No, I'm just... thinking about something."

Her eyes fell on the fragrant cake on the plate. The exquisite decoration and fresh strawberries dotted in the cream looked particularly appetizing, simple? ?Of course, it can't be compared with the recipe of the noble lady's meal, but for her, it is already very good.

At least she couldn't make such an exquisite cake.Beth Fenley took a bite of the cake, and the sweet taste came from the tip of her tongue. She silently ate the whole cake, raised her head, and realized that Joseph had finished eating at some point, with one hand propped on her cheek, smiling stared at her.

"Miss." He reached out to wipe off the cream on her lips, with an inexplicable smile: "Next time, don't just eat the food given by others."

The girl looked at him in bewilderment, puzzled.

However, Joseph just smiled and didn't mean to explain.Beth Fenli could only change the subject: "Well, what altar did you say you were going to send me to..."

She looked at the plate in front of her, and her voice gradually lowered: "This can't be, the last supper."

Joseph chuckled.

"My lady, maybe from the moment you set foot in this forest, you have no other choice."

(To be continued)

The author has something to say: Joseph: Don't eat what others give you.

For beasts, if the object of courtship eats the food they send (especially the prey they catch) (and maybe share the food with him), it is basically equivalent to agreeing to beg...
