Here is part 2, ppl...

Thanks for reviews/comments/faves/follows! I love them all!

Ayase's residence, early morning;

Nozomi woke up carefully from her long slumber, at first she was all calm until she realized— her lover isn't next to her. She also just realized that her ring is gone from her finger, she quickly jumps out from her bed.

"Ericchi?" Nozomi called.

No response.

She tried to walk out to the kitchen— she could see a plate with rice, vegetables, and meats placed on the table neatly along with a bowl of soul food. She approached it and noticed a piece of letter slipped under the plate. Nozomi took it out.

I have to go somewhere with Arisa, don't worry about me, ok? Please eat your breakfast and help others when they need.

Love you…

The letter said.

Nozomi smirked,

"If I can smell another's scent on your body when you got back, I swear I'll look for them and kill them at sight…" Nozomi mumbled as she took the plate and bowl to the dining table. She began to eat her breakfast quietly and paused as she could see another letter placed on the dining table. She took it and read it carefully,

It's been a while for you to stay at home at your own, right? Why don't you do some chores? If you do that, I'll praise you when I get home…

P.S Don't forget to pick up the laundry!

Nozomi smiled slightly,

"Well, at least you promised me something good…"

She said as she continues to eat her meal.

After she finished with the chores,

She decided to go out to pick up the laundry. As she got to Wash and Clean Laundry Center,

"I'm from Ayase residence, where's the Laundry?" Nozomi rudely barged in.

"Ah, Nozomi…. hi… you surprised me…" Umi said.

"Looks like someone is not in a good mood…" a man said.

"Skip the good talk, I just need my Laundry…" Nozomi said.

"Yes mam…" he replied as he quickly searches for it.

"Nozomi, aren't you a little impolite? I believe Eli won't like it…" Umi said.

Nozomi remained quiet for a moment,

"She didn't even ask if I like it to be left alone… and she never told me that… so who cares?" Nozomi said.

"Here is your Laundry mam…" the man on the counter placed it on the table. Nozomi took her wallet and placed some money on the counter and quickly leave without any words.

"That was rude as hell…" The man said,

"I'm just glad the worse doesn't happen… but either way, now I can see how bad it is…" Umi said.

"Yeah man….but at least she gives me plenty of money…" The man sighed.

Umi sighed too.

"Thanks for today, Prosecutor Sonoda, you'll give the right justice to him for my sister, right?" the man said.

"Will do, Clerk, but I just hope we can catch him today…" Umi said.

"I'm counting on you….and… your…detective friend…." Clerk said.

As Nozomi got home,

She opened the front door and walks in quickly, she could see a sticky note placed on the coat hanger with a flash disk hanging near it. Nozomi picks them up,

This is the files that were left in the police station, Umi sent it this morning. A few polices finally willing to cooperate with us to look for Leon, the big boss. Apparently, they're paid handsomely. I'm sure he is struggling now since Lilith isn't here to support him anymore.

The letter ended.

Nozomi smiled faintly before she heads to the bedroom to pick up her laptop. She opened her bag and once again, a letter stuck in it.

To think about it though, maybe you and him shares something similar? Both of you are alphas… and both of you can't live without someone specific…like, Lilith….or me?

Joking, Nozomi is capable of doing things on her own, right? I don't remember to know the Nozomi that can't do things on her own…

The letter ended.

"Ericchi is so proud, it's you that can't live without me, right? You need someone to help you maintain your territory—and of course, your daily service…." Nozomi giggled.

She decided to look through the files she just received and began to do a quick reading through it. apparently, Honoka and Umi already investigated the room and did an interview with Meg to help them finding out about Leon and his plan.

They even found the list of Police names who got themselves joining Leon's project to create a world with Chimeras domination, on the good side, he has been trying to expand jungles and planting trees all over the town—creating a good environment idea for the living of all chimeras.

Nozomi tried to browse through more files— there's a lot of sketches and blueprints of new home building in the future that Leon wanted. A home that always surrounded by trees, planted with it on every level even for apartment— Nozomi took an interest to it. She was then trying to get through a few more pictures and stopped when she reads,

A Home for My Dearest Mother

A title that placed on a mansion with gothic styled decorations and lavender flowers planted everywhere. Most of the house is colored with dark purple and shadow black. It's not a bad house, but it just looks gloomy for Nozomi's taste— though she likes the idea of it being mysterious.

She tried to browse further and found a sketch of a castle with plants all over the area, it says

A King's home

Then as she continues to browse again, she found blueprints of the castle. Apparently, Leon is aware of her mother's hobby. He planned a brothel to be placed inside the castle and a few rooms that specially built for 'boyfriends'. But he also not forgot about laboratory.

Nozomi continued her browsing and once again stopped at a familiar building, it says,

Nishikino Clinic—Future Looks

He is redesigning the clinic into more lively and comfortable, but still with plants dominating the design overlooks. When she got through those files, she found that Maki's parents rejects the agreement with Leon, it was seen from the documents that captured with camera— apparently Leon offered the design to their parents and telling them about the future of their clinic, but they said that it would be too complex for some patient and the natures aren't that easy to control, they would cost a lot more too since they will need extra gardener. It's a good design but not effective and they are always looking for effectiveness in their clinic.

Nozomi is sure this one is related to what happen with Maki at later day when she is called to the photo studio and forced to be a Chimera.

As she remembers that moment, she also remember how she was so focused on solving the case and she also remember that she have a few written documents somewhere in her room. She started to wonder, when did she become careless about the case and why did she start to forget about the reason of her as a werewolf to begin with. Her head is always filled only eat, sex and having some other fun with specific someone.

She also wonder, perhaps she has been very selfish and aggressive with everyone. Maybe she should try to control herself more often, not just to take control over her transformation which she is able to control at ease. There are just so many things that get in her mind as she thinks about what she has been doing.

She decided to keep going on and once again stopped at a folder named 'the execution of Lilith'

She tried to look through it, there's a lot of picture of the broken machine and also a few other pictures which apparently was taken before everything. Leon documented the making of the machine as well. The documents say, the machine named Lycaon Executor— a special machine that was supposed to be used to kill a werewolf as horrible as it could be. Though Nozomi remember the machine's cage weren't even able to hold her for a second as she could crash it down at ease. The machine is clearly a failure.

But then as she look through it, she could also see that he is indeed documented the time when he caught the fraud her in werewolf form— but it's still somewhat sickening to see herself being caught by the police and put in into the cage. Then she could also see that he made a video of the process… the machine warped her in chain, squeezed and impaled with a lot of metal stakes at her. It's a very horrible death.

Then at the end of the video, Leon started to speak,

"See, Ayase Eli? That's your wife to be…. she is weak as hell… how could you like her? What a come down for a Mistress of succubus…"

"I'll send her body to your home, ok? But I had to take her heart… because I need it…" he continued before the video ended with her werewolf form transformed into a skinny woman with dark purple hair and no fashion attached to her.

She began to wonder… where was she during that time? How could she let that happen to someone and how could she think horribly about that someone before? Lilith was her friend and even though their friendship was started with something alike, it was still fun to talk to Lilith in person— plus the fact that she and her often talk with each other through chats.

Then Nozomi tried to browse for another and found another folder with name 'a message for Nozomi-chan'

Nozomi opened it and found a recorded audio. She started to play it,

The audio started with sound of Eve yelling about something, then a voice of Maki trying to calm her down and said that the recording is starting,

"Ahaha…Nozomi-chan! How are you? I hoped that I could talk to you directly but you were asleep on Elichika's arm as you came to visit me… did you go berserk when she heard she want to visit me?" Lilith's voice followed with a chuckle from herself.

"I know you'll be very jealous, I can't blame you though, because that is what growing in you…."

Lilith giggled again.

"I don't know when or how you will listen to this but… Nozomi, you know what? I've been watching you from long ago. Maybe you can call me a stalker but, to tell you the truth, I always can't help myself when I see you being so passionate with Elichika. It tears me out… but then I realize, you were the one that she chose… not me…. and I shouldn't protest about it…"

Lilith sighed weakly.

"Anyway, this is just a coincidence, but… when I know you're an alpha werewolf, I know that it means I have to watch you more often… and to remember that Elichika is like….a cousin….to me…no…. a sister…. To me… all that I wish is to keep you safe and happy so that Elichika will be also proud of me to be her…. cousin…."

Nozomi could hear her sobbing slightly.

"I know it's horrible of me to leave you early…and to not finish my research… I wish that I could give you a solution about your terrible traits that growing inside you… I want to know about how to make you less troublesome for everyone… and for Elichika… I've asked Elichika to try to tame you with a few special training…but I'm not sure how you will take it… I hope you're not thinking that you're being humiliated…but either way, you like being punished by Elichika, right? Have she ever use strap on to punish you, I heard it's fun?"

Lilith continued.

"Sis…. That's not an important detail to mention…" Eve said, she sounded a bit further from her.

"Ah, right..I should've talk about BDSM tips… I've got plenty you know!" Lilith said cheerfully.

"Don't make me regret bringing this recorder to you!" Maki's voice said.

"Joking! Joking! Anyway! My point is, Nozomi-chan… Elichika… Maki-chan, or anyone else…. None of them can change you… they are only able to help you to change… but the only one who can change you is yourself… but perhaps if I could give you a few tips…. The time when your wild side tells you to do something anarchy… or just… selfish… you can always try to remember the one you love… try to remember what they say about it and what they think about it… I believe Elichika already give you a lot of lectures before?"

"I'm not sure how your wild sides work though, did you just happen to want to do it at your own? Or is it because of a specific voice makes you go crazy? Not sure… basically… to listen or to remember how love is like is something you can do to tame yourself… to be honest, I'm a little scared when I say this kind of thing to you since… you're a masochist…. You could've taken word 'love' differently…"

"Speaking of which, how's your sex life? Did you try what I told you in the beginning? Like… moan and tell Elichika that you want her? I'm not very sure about how you did it, but if your sex life is amazingly addictive, then you're doing it right… some people doesn't like it though because it sounds slutty, but how else to boots someone's libido? Especially when they're a dominant type like Elichika?" Lilith chuckled.

"I know we often talk about sex all the time, but I never get to ask you about if the previous tips works or not… I think Elichika is a little tricky but… I guess you know her much, yes? Either way, you have to research about it on your own from now own… we can't discuss about it anymore…I'm really sorry…" Lilith said.

"I'm sorry that I can't get to see your baby too… even though… I know you're aborted by an irresponsible specific someone… ah—if you ever want it again, why don't you ask Elichika to grow a stick or something and tell her to ejaculate inside you? It's amazing!" Lilith said.

"Lilith! What the heck you're saying! That's disturbing!" Maki yelled.

"Sis…I'm imagining it now…I'm imagining it now… You're ruining me!" Eve yelled.

"Ehh? But we can always use our common ability to add more pleasure, no? Besides, it is fun to have something hot pouring inside instead of just from outside and poured in… the warmth level is decreased… less pleasure…"

"T-That's because you like males!" Maki yelled.

"You're gay?" Lilith said.

"Wh-what the hell?! Did I ever say I am?" Maki yelled.

"So you're gay or straight or both?" Lilith asked.

"None of your business! Just…Stop this conversation already or I'll stop recording!" Maki yelled.

"Yeah! What Maki meant is that Nozomi might enjoy that kind of talk but Nozomi might not enjoy it because she is gay… we never know! Some woman already got disturbed by imagining male's part, you know!" Eve yelled.

"hnn… but I think Nozomi-chan is fine with that, right Nozomi-chan? Ah! maybe I should also tell you, after every sex, you should always remember to tell your partner that—…."

"I'm turning off the recorder…" Maki cuts in.

"Ahhh! Maki-chan! Don't do that! I still want to talk!" Lilith begged.

"Just say your prayer and be gone! Pervert!" Eve yelled.

"Aaaa-a-a-a! I still want to talk to Nozomi-chan!" Lilith begged.

"Basically, Nozomi… Sis wants you to take care of yourself from now on, because she is gone and she can't share anymore perverted talks with you— but it was fun for her and it's nice to have someone who can talk with about it…. because I'm simply very disgusted with it!" Eve said.

"That's boring Eve! Let me say good bye on my own!" Lilith said.

"Do that properly!" Eve yelled.

"Nozomi-chan! Be well, ok? Take care of Elichika too! Also, this beautiful world! Be honest to yourself, ok? I know you're a good girl deep inside! Ah! One more! If you want to do a good cunnilingus—…."

And with that, the audio stopped. Nozomi remained quiet… part of her want to laugh for the silliness, part of her is sad because she is losing a good friend, but part of her also saying that she should be happy that there is no more competition for her….

She started to wonder, which part of her is her true self... there's so much feeling mixed in one as she heard her talking and also so much memories going around her.

Suddenly, as she began to think more about it, she could hear a voice,

"Humans destroy the nature, you have to take over the control to stop them…"

Nozomi quickly turns around, she couldn't see anyone…

"You're the chosen alpha, you have to take over the control to show your mightiness…"

She could hear the voice again from somewhere. She wonders where it actually comes from until she look into a mirror, a transparent giant wolf standing beside her, she quickly jumps out from her place,

"The…elder spirit? How could you…." Nozomi said.

"Follow your heart, don't doubt… you're the chosen alpha… you have to show your mightiness… you have to grip on the control… you're a werewolf, the mightiest race… follow your heart, don't doubt…"

Nozomi remained quiet as the elder spirits started to disappear.

As it happen, she could feel something strange trying so hard to get a grip of her mind, she feel like her body started to burn and forcing her to transform.

She quickly grabs her phone and dialed a number,

She waited for the call to connect, but all she got was a message of out of service.

"No… I can't transform… I'm not going to do it… I can control it…!" Nozomi struggled as she keep trying to call the person she really need right now.

"That is your heart desire, seek for your missing lover, destroy every enemy on your path, this whole world is your territory, you're the mightiest…" the voice said again.

"No…I can wait for Ericchi…"

"Don't let anyone touch your lover… don't let her wander too far from you … and don't let her go from you…"

She knows part of her agreed to that and in the very moment, she began growl and—

The clinic, morning;

Eve returned to the apothecary and started to work as usual, the apothecary is quiet and calm as usual and costumers are going in and out. Medicines keep getting sold from time to time after the incidents, but most of them visit the apothecary during night time.

Kotori came in with her wheelchair along with Honoka.

"Morning…" Kotori greeted.

"Ah, Kotori…" Eve said.

"Morning, Eve!" Honoka said.

"Morning, Honoka…"

Kotori and Honoka approach the counter and placed a bouquet of flowers and a photo album.

"This….?" Eve flustered,

"It's for you, knowing you're currently mourning for your loss, we want to give you something to cheer you up…" Kotori said.

"Me? Mourning? Nah… not a chance… especially when it's about that goof head…" Eve said.

Honoka and Kotori smiled faintly,

"You don't need to act tough…" Honoka said.

Eve sighed weakly.

"Then I guess…thanks…." Eve said as she took the gift.

"We cried when someone we love gone…and at least we have a grave to mourn at too but as for you…. I heard she just disappears to the air…so…I thought, maybe a memento would be nice…" Kotori said.

Eve smiled faintly as she open the photo album. It's all about Lilith—most came from the magazine and their own photo session, there also some silly moments that they capture during the photo session…

"Such a goofball…" Eve mumbled.

Kotori giggled,

"That she is… she often messes up with the other idols, claiming herself to be a hungry lesbian in action and start chasing them around the studio…" Kotori said.

"I've never heard that from her…" Eve said,

"That because it was only told by one of our amateur model, she said the prank was pretty scary because Lilith touching everyone and she was so quick…" Kotori said.

"Should've just kicked her in the ass…" Eve said.

Kotori giggled,

"I think there's only you who can do that…" Kotori said.

Eve sighed,

"Well… now that she is gone… I don't think I can do that…" Eve said.

"Anyway, have you two heard from Rin-chan? I think Nozomi-chan is supposed to be already in second check point by now?" Honoka asked—she is currently holding her phone.

"Eh? No?" Kotori said.

"Ah, is that about the secret training you all planned last night?" Eve asked.

"Hehe. Yup, Eli-chan is going to be very busy today… she said she have business to do in her home world…" Honoka said.

"So we have to try doing this, it's a little risky but we made sure everyone is well guarded just in case Nozomi-chan getting upset all so sudden..." Kotori said.

"Umi-chan said, Nozomi doesn't looks like in good mood when she is arrived in her first check point, she might be getting worse at second…so we have to make sure Rin-chan is doing well…" Honoka said.

"Ah— that would be troublesome, yes… my sister said Alpha werewolf is just very hard to predict as they always act at their own will… and they're powerful too… but…according to the previous research though, the last alpha werewolf before Nozomi, he is sort of getting a mental issue—such as talk to himself and getting scared all so sudden… but that's usually happen during the full moon phase…." Eve explained.

"Does Nozomi do that?" Honoka asked.

"No…don't think so… she is always calm and collected—but maybe that only because Eli-chan is close to her?" Kotori asked.

"Probably…" Honoka said.

"Then, you probably will have to be alarmed since if there's anything happen, she won't be there to help you at all… and… it might be full moon too tonight..." Eve said.

"Uhnn...yeah, but we really wanted to help her, we really don't want her to do what Meg suggest…" Kotori said.

"Meg? What did she suggest?" Eve asked.

"She suggests Eli-chan to kill her if she get out of control…" Honoka said.

Eve frowned,

"I see… then this might be serious problem… I'll help you all out…ok?" Eve said.

"Yeah, that's another reason why we're here!" Kotori said.

"Oh…so the gift was just an excuses?" Eve asked.

"N-No-no! of course not!" Honoka and Kotori said.

"Joking… now tell me your plan…I'll see what I can do…" Eve said.

The city, morning;

A giant werewolf—wearing a stretchable sweater and trouser walking around the city, sniffing around with a bag on her arm, some people began to get frightened by the size—though they tried to stay calm as she pass by. She is really trying so hard to find her lover scent, though her search gets no result.

Suddenly a familiar scent attracts her. She quickly tried to track that one instead until she reached to a place–a yakiniku shop. She tried to walk in, luckily the door is big enough—but she will certainly hit the ceiling if she stands straight so she has to crawl in. There is not much customer inside the place—and some is close to scream but they are shushed by the shop keeper.

"Hey, don't yell at my customer…" he said.

They remained quiet and started to watch on the giant werewolf behavior. The giant werewolf thinking for a moment…

Then she pointed to a menu.

"Ah, ok, I suppose you will want the jumbo size too?" he asked.

She nodded.

"Right-gotcha…" he said as he quickly prepares the meal. She stared to look around—she remembers this is the place where she usually go with her lover. It's too bad that she didn't go with her today…though she still remember a lot of things when she is here—yet it's still feel nostalgic for her.

After a moment, her meal arrived. She is about to chow it down but then she remembers what her lover used to tell her back then…

Sheesh…Nozomi, when it's about yakiniku, you always get all messy…. Behave for me, will you?

She stopped and tried to look for chopstick. She picks it up and began to politely eat with chopstick.

After she finished, she was about to leave—but then she remember again,

Nozomi! Don't forget to pay!

She stopped and quickly searches in her bag for her wallet. Then she paid to the shop keeper.

"Ah, thank you! Hope to see you again!"

She decided to leave after she got the cash back.

As she walks out, she could see a vending machine— the machine that used to be old and rusty now already renewed. She remembers that her lover used to always buy her a can of hot green tea from it. She decided to head there to get the same thing.

At the other side of the town,

Rin, Hanayo, Niko and Maki already waiting under a tree…

"Hnn…. She supposed to be passing this way around this hour nya…." Rin said.

"Maybe she is using another way…" Hanayo said.

"Just quiet and wait… remember that we supposed to pretend that Maki-chan is out of control and we are all running for our life…" Niko said from the shadow.

"Uhn…Niko-chan… Nozomi can't see you if you're hiding in the shadow like that…"

"T-the sun is bright! You're going to kill me!"

"How she supposed to know you're in need of help if she can't see you….sheesh…" Maki said.

"I-I'll go out when she is close!" Niko said.

Maki sighed.

"Let's just wait for one more hour, ok? If she isn't here…mission failed… and I go back to clinic… we're still short of peoples, you know… there's not much applicant yet…" Maki said.

"Uhh..Maki-chan, can't you just smell her nya?" Rin asked.

"There's too much scent around here, I can't tell… and…. Niko…. Your….uh… sunblock smells too strong on my nose…" Maki said.

"You can just say your nose is useless…" Niko said.

"W-what's that? It's your fault for using a sunblock with strong scent…. and Hanayo… you have tuna Onigiri in your bag, right?" Maki said.

"H-how do you know?!" Hanayo said.

"I told you there's so much scent here and your tuna smells strong too… there's also chicken and roasted pork…." Maki said.

"T-that's amazing…Maki-chan…." Hanayo said.

"….and uh, Rin, you should wash your jacket…" Maki said.

"But it smells like ramen-shop nya…" Rin said.

"That's the reason… and it's mixed with your sweats too…" Maki sighed.

"Ah—Maki-chan don't tell them nya!" Rin said.

"The sweats one is kind of giving off though, I can smell it too…." Hanayo said.

"Heh—me too…. you really should wash that jacket…." Niko said.

"T-that's embarrassing-nya!" Rin said.

"You don't looks embarrassed…" Niko said.

"I am-nya!" Rin protested.

"H-hey! Wait! Shush! I can smell something else— a very strong scent…" Maki said.

"Eh?" Everyone quickly hides behind the tree.

"It smells like a chimera…. But I'm not sure…. But I know it's strong…." Maki said.

"That's probably Nozomi-chan! let's go!" Niko said as she pops from the shadow.

"W-wait! Niko-chan! It's not always—…."

And before Rin could finish her words… Niko is already in front of the tall figure…but….

"L-L-Leon?!" Niko said.

"Eeeeh?!" Maki, Rin, and Hanayo surprised.

"Shit…" Leon said before he quickly run.

"C-Catch him-nya!" Rin shouted.

"Call the others!" Maki said as she shoved her hand bag and quickly run to chase him along with Niko. Rin and Hanayo quickly make a call.

"Umi-chan! Umi-chan!" Rin yelled.

"W-wha? Ouch…my ear… it's a lot more sensitive you know…" Umi said.

"Umi-chan we found Leon!" Rin said.

"Wh-what?!"

The Apothecary,

Eve continue to work quietly behind the counter, listing the medicine stock. She stopped as she could feel someone coming by…

"Who's there?!" She said aggressively.

"It's me…" Meg said.

"Aren't you supposed to be in Police's custody? You're a suspect…" Eve said.

"I'm bored, so I want to go out for a bit… I'll be back there later…" Meg said.

Eve sighed.

"You just don't know how to be a suspect, huh? Very well…" Eve said as she return to her work and ignored Meg.

Meg fix her glasses,

"Eve….I…"

"Sister didn't say anything about you… she is just gone after leaving a message to Nozomi—which hopefully she listened to it…" Eve said.

"I…I see…" Meg replied.

"Say, do you know anything about werewolves? I believe you've been following up on sister's research…" Eve said.

"No… Not quite… but… I do know a few things about werewolf and the spirits… I recovered it when I went to check on that village… but I don't believe on such kind of thing… but Lilith insists that it might be actually true—but it's still out of possibility for me so Lilith still hold that in her research…" Meg replied.

"What do you mean?" Eve asked.

"Well, Lilith mentioned this research as the Alpha Werewolf and mental disorder, you may never heard it before but Lilith said, your ability might be a good key to solve this. If you can see it and you can communicate to it, maybe you can figure out something as well…" Meg said.

"Why none of you told me before? I could've done it earlier…" Eve said.

"Lilith still not sure of it since her test subject, never shows the signs and you never asked about it…." Meg said.

Eve rolled her eyes.

"Just…. Meg…. where is this village… I'll go…"

The Town center,

Nozomi wandered around the area and she found herself to be attracted with a bright reflection, she turned around and her eyes caught a view that she used to see before— and she really remember well.

She looks through the glass wall— and as her eyes meet the gardener who've been tending the garden inside…the gardener looks like screaming and then fall to the ground. Nozomi went a little panic and as she was about to break the glass…

Ahh! Ericchi! I really want to just come in from here… the glass is so clear and the garden looks tempting!

There, Nozomi, the entrance is on the other way, we should buy the ticket and get inside properly…

And with that, Nozomi quickly search for the entrance instead.

As she got to the ticket stand, the keeper just fainted in instant, luckily it's always rare to see anyone around this place— Nozomi pouts, she decided to take one ticket and left the money on the table before she walks in.

She searched for the previous gardener and as she walks through the garden, she began to remember a few flash backs in her mind. The time when she walks together, just her and her lover… she believes it was very gentle and sweet… and then as she focused on one of the vase with a hibernating plant above it,

Ericchi…Ericchi, just a wonder, why are you taking me to the garden in winter?

Hmm…? Why? Well…. Because I really want to see how hibernating plants looks like… because I'm sure, I'll see them bloom again when spring arrive…. And I'm sure too, they'll grow very gently and beautifully, like you….

Nozomi paused for a moment, then she turned to the reflecting glass— seeing herself in a giant werewolf form…

It really doesn't describe gentle and beautiful… she looks rough and scary….

Tough she tried to shake that off for now. She focused on looking for the fainted gardener.

As she found her, she placed her on a table very gently and starts to look for something to warm her up. She saw a leather cloth neatly placed on the table— she decided to take it and covered it to her. Then she also got a stack of towel nearby. She placed it under the gardener head as pillow.

She turned away from the gardener— and she just realized the gardener must not have finisher her job yet. She decided to see what kind of job she was up to.

She only could see a few empty pots…at first she is a little flustered, but then she remember…

During winter, a few species of plants are able to survive but some will die because they just aren't made to survive in the cold. Usually, gardeners would take these dead plants off the pots and wait for a few weeks before spring arrives, then they will replant the seed at a week before spring because it's already getting a little warmer by then…

Hmm…Ericchi, are you a gardener?

No… why would you think me as one, sheesh….

Nozomi turned to the floor, she could see a paper of plant list and a few bags of seeds fell on the ground, scattered. She turned to the fainted gardener—then to her surrounding…

The town's road;

Police cars running fast along with a few motorcycles, Rin already on a daring red sport motorcycle along with Hanayo sitting behind her,

"We're on the route, Honoka-chan…" Hanayo said on her phone,

"Really? I can't see you… I'm inside Kotori-chan's car…" Honoka said through the phone,

"We're on Maki-chan's bike, it's red…" Hanayo said.

"Oh— that bike…. Hmmm….Ahhh there there!" Honoka said.

"Maki-chan should be ahead along with Niko-chan… I'm not sure but I think she is in her werepanther form since Leon is using his Werelion form." Hanayo said.

"We can see her from here…" Umi said— she is connected with their calls. Umi is on a police helicopter and carrying a sniper gun.

"Ah, Umi-chan! Can you see Leon too?" Honoka asked.

"Yes, he is just a little ahead from Maki. Maki is going to get him soon—split up! We'll corner him!" Umi said.

"Got it!" Honoka said.

Umi hung her phone on her pocket.

"Now… I'll make sure he is paralyzed as he got caught…" Umi prepared her gun.

The mountain, abandoned village;

Eve and Meg searching through the rubbles, Meg is carrying a big bag on her shoulder,

"Are you tired?" Eve asked.

"Eve…. I'm a succubus… and a pure blood…. Same as you… I'm not weak... why would you ask that to me every ten minutes….?" Meg asked back.

"N-Never mind…." Eve said a little shyly.

They're awfully quiet again as they continue examining around the area.

Eve started to feel something is different on a specific spot, she decided to try approach it. There's a small foot prints that looks like a wolf footprints— and it's very fresh.

"Wolves…" Eve said.

"I knew that… you don't need to say it…" Meg said.

"I-I'm just saying in case you didn't know!" Eve said.

"Eve, I'm graduated from kindergarten, thank you…" Meg said.

"J-just shut the hell up, jerk! Let's investigate it." Eve said as she began to fly to follow the foot prints.

Meg sighed,

"What a strange woman…." She said.

The town,

Nozomi just finished with the glass garden— she decided to go out again to walk through some more nostalgic places. For a few minutes there, she wonder, why did she leave the house when she knows she is currently stuck in this form?

She believes it was to look for someone… but what if that someone doesn't like it if she is wandering around town in this form? That certainly be a trouble for her… not like she will mind if she gets punished, but then she started to wonder again— when did she start to enjoy something doing bad so that she could get punished? Or perhaps more like, when did she started to enjoy being in trouble?

To think about it, she certainly is being very troublesome… she realize that she has been a big burden— she knows that she will certainly be forgiven when she returns with troubles… because Eli that she knows always forgiving despite her protest and she will likely to praise her for something else. Maybe that means she needs to get something to bribe her anger? A chocolate? That would be nice…

Nozomi decided to go to the department store, but before she was able to go there, a few children started to shouts.

"Ah—Look! Look! A mascot!" they said.

Nozomi turned around. The children are running after her and their mother are following as they shouts,

"Don't run!"

Nozomi is a little flustered, though the children looks like really enjoying her furs and they started to play with her tail and some are starting to climb up to her head. Nozomi is about to retort roughly—but then she remembers…

I really like children, even though they're naughty at times, but their curious and innocent nature always make me feel soft… I wish I can have someone who can take care of my children softly one day so that they grow as gentle person too…

So does that mean Ericchi want a mother? That sounds like a mother!

Hehe… maybe? I like beautiful and mature girl too anyway…

She stopped and she decided to sit down instead. The children started to play around her cheerfully as their mother watch them. Nozomi replied every of their action gently and calmly.

The other side of the town,

Maki— with Niko sitting on her back managed to catch up with Leon, Niko quickly sank in to the shadow before Maki jumped at him. Leon retorted and the two big cats began to fight— taking attention of everyone around. Leon is clearly a very strong opponent as he could grab Maki at ease and threw her to the vehicle or walls, but Maki is a very quick opponent as she could stole a lot of chance to scratch her claws swiftly on Leon.

Umi tried to focus her gun. Niko swiftly move through the shadows and appeared with a scalpel— back stabbing Leon then she sank again to the shadow before Leon able to counter her. As he got staggered, a few polices began to shoot their gun on Leon, Maki could dodge them at ease while Leon reacts very slow to them, he pick up a vehicle and used it as a shield.

Umi is using that chance to try to aim her gun— Leon and Maki noticed the red dot from the sniping gun before Umi tried to make sure Leon is focused on it. He has been staring at it for a moment as it move to his chest and that was the time when Umi decided to shoot the gun— but unexpectedly, Maki is trying to catch the red dot and her hand actually covered his chest from getting the paralyzing ammo….

"W-what the?!" Umi surprised to see it.

Leon snapped out and he shoved the paralyzed Maki away from him before he used his other arm to throw the helicopter of where Umi was. In instant, Umi jumped down before the Helicopter blown up. Leon quickly escaped again through a building.

"The heck are you doing?!" Niko yelled at Maki who already turned back to her human form.

"Must…catch…the red dot…." Maki said before she fell unconscious.

"Are you an Idiot?!" Niko yelled.

Despite the silly drama, Umi keep on her focus to catch Leon. She tried to catch up with him— even though she isn't specialized on speed like Maki. But with her wit, Umi is able to boost her speed from time to time— using the environment and her surrounding tools. Leon stopped as she could see the group which Rin lead with Hanayo blocked his path.

Unexpectedly, he jumps up and started to climb the building— Umi quickly ran and transformed into a satyr before she decided to jump and hit Leon down with her horns. Once again, two chimeras fought with each other— but Umi is clearly not strong enough to oppose his strength. Leon threw Umi to Rin's group before he quickly tried to run to the other way— but Honoka's group caught up and blocked his path. He frowned as Honoka came up on his path— and he decided to look for another way again— yet he couldn't find anything but a big truck.

He decided to pick it up then throw it to Rin's group which still trying to recover from getting Umi fall in to them. Rin and Hanayo turned around as the truck flying to them… they're about to lost their hope as it right on top of them before a police officer suddenly showed up and held the truck—alone.

Umi quickly woke up as she heard Rin and Hanayo scream, but she is glad that what she see isn't anything gruesome.

"Papa!" Rin said.

"Nya!" He said handsomely as he smirks.

"W-wow…." Hanayo said.

Umi frowned and she quickly helps him out. As everyone focused on the heavy truck, Leon already escaped.

"Ah-dang it!" Honoka said before she decided to chase him with her feet.

She is a slow runner but she could defense against the many things he throw at her. Even though it's still unknown about what power she is actually holding, Leon surely knows that he really need to prevent a face to face battle with her.

Though as they keep on going through the town— Leon stopped when he is stuck between police vehicles that stacked in line along with the police with paralyzing gun, waiting for him. Apparently, he is been waited by the police.

Honoka caught up to him, her eyes glowing and she doesn't look very friendly as usual.

"Umi-chan… we cornered him…" Honoka said in her phone.

"Good job, we're going to be there in a few minute…" Umi said.

"M-Maki-chan still not recovered yet…" Hanayo said.

"Uhn…she should stay like that for a few more hours… it's a pretty strong medicine…" Umi said.

Leon began to panic, he tried to look around until he see another big truck parked on the road.

The town,

Nozomi and the kids are having fun with snuggling and taking pictures. Their mother seems to be glad that the kids are having so much fun but it's time for them to separate,

"Thanks so much for willing to play with them, they're troublesome at times…" said one of the mother.

"I wonder which company you're from?" said a mother.

Nozomi began to panic for a bit, but then she tried to look for something in her bag and she decided to take out her wallet and then a business card— Minami's fashion center business card.

"Ah…. Minami's fashion center…"

"I wonder what Minami fashion center trying to promote with a wolf mascot?"

"Hmmm…" The mothers trying to think…

Nozomi pulled her sweater.

"Ohh! I get it! They're trying to promote a stretchable fashion… it's very stretchy and will stay even when you're becoming big like a werewolf…" said a mother.

"Ahh! I get it! They really care for pregnant mother and fat people… that's so kind of them!" said the other.

Nozomi nodded.

"I should pay a visit to Minami fashion center soon…" said the mothers.

Suddenly— they all could hear a very loud bang followed with some explosion.

"W-what's that?!" the mothers began to panic, the kids quickly ran back to their mother. Nozomi stood up.

A few vehicles began to fly here and there— then they could see a big werelion running and Honoka is trying to catch up. The werelion started to keep throwing vehicles randomly and one of them is flying to the kids and the mothers.

In instant, Nozomi grabs the vehicle before it fall into them and bashed away another vehicle that is close to hit them. She roared in anger…

That was the time when the mother realized that she isn't a mascot— and the kids still cheering for her as she began to run to where Leon is.

"Ah! I see Nozomi-chan! Sh-she is in her werewolf form!" Honoka said.

"W-what? That-that's rare! I mean… she rarely be in that form lately!" Umi said through the phone.

"She is chasing Leon now…" Honoka said.

"There we go… a fight between alphas-nya…" Rin said through the phone.

Meanwhile at the mountain,

Eve and Meg found a wolf's cave… At first they're not very well greeted by the guards until Eve told them that she is only wanted to console about something that related to a werewolf. The wolves guide them in… though they're still not giving them a friendly looks.

They walk through the wolves that resting for their day. Some carcass kept inside the cave and some are still fresh. It looks like they won't be in the mood to eat for a while…

They stopped as Eve could see a giant transparent wolf, sitting on a throne-like stone. Eve bowed politely— Meg just followed although she has no idea what's going on.

"O-The great wolf spirit, I'm looking for a guidance…" Eve started.

The giant transparent wolf heard her,

"Speak…" He said.

"Great, he is talking in human language…" Eve whispered.

"Wh-what? I can't hear anything or see anything…" Meg said.

"Shut the hell up…" Eve whispered.

Eve tried to compose herself, then she made a respectful gesture,

"M'lord, we have a friend who embraced the power of an alpha werewolf… though as she grown and merge their blood in her, she has also grown corrupted. May I wish to know how to help her with it…?" Eve asked.

"First of all, my friend, the beast blood already merge ever since they took their oath, thus their power may not have been in a good control. As the time pass, they will slowly learn how to get a grip of themselves, a person with high level of discipline will more likely to get in control early. Then as about for one's traits— it just still depend on who held it and how the others treat them in life…" he explained.

"She is been treated with love, M'lord, I'm sure…" Eve said.

"Friend, aren't you aware that love isn't simply to agree on every occasion…? Even us, beast will scold our pups when they do a mistake… spoiling and loving are two different things— but, in all honesty, it also depend on how one takes one love. Some of our pups love to do a mistake as they loves the attention that given to them, they might also like to create trouble to show their might to others…"

Eve remained quiet to listen.

"But… those kinds of pups are more likely to be a wise alpha one day—as they learn through troubles and experience. For a reminder, it would be best for them to be let go as they about to make a big mistake, because they will learn their lesson and taking it deep to their heart… hopefully, they will survive through it…"

Eve nodded,

"I see… thank you, M'lord…" Eve said.

"Eve, can you ask about the truth behind Toujou-san's spirit wolf power?" Meg asked.

"The Great wolf has never gives a power to anyone— they borrow, but they do not give…" the great wolf replied.

"I heard from the others, our alpha friend was able to summon wolf spirits, she called it the elder spirits…" Eve said.

The great wolf stood up from his throne,

"Then, your alpha friend is not corrupted by her own will, she is corrupted by the sinister vengeful spirit who often call themselves as the elder spirit to trick one respectful and innocent's heart. They raise her desire, they raise her hunger, and they raise her power as they slowly and secretly drain her out. They can force her to a transformation, they will always make her feel insecure, and they will always make her feel jealous of others. She will never have enough. But they will not act as they know there's a greater power than them— but they will act as they know they're the strongest around… full moon with them can cause a town turn into a graveyard in one night…." He said.

"Damn… that means…"

And before anything, Eve quickly storm out without saying a good bye.

"W-what? What happen?" Meg flustered.

And the great wolf howled.

And that's part 2... I hope it's still exciting enough?
