14. Simon is Back

The year 1701.

Simon is a Rogue of the werewolf nation. He is so wild, cruel, destructive and very dangerous. A lot of blood has been spilled because of his actions. He could kill quickly without the slightest bit of remorse. He also has a great passion, both for fellow werewolves and the human race. There have been many girls who have become victims to satisfy Simon's desires. Once his lust was satisfied, he could quickly finish off the girls without feeling.

Simon was thirsty for blood, like the nature of a beast. If he weren't in a good mood, anyone who met him would never survive his sharp canines. For Simon, there is no day without killing, and he will not stop until he is delighted. He has no fear of anyone.

Because of Simon's actions, the werewolf nation became restless because their image became terrible, and they were labeled as destructive creatures. His people are hunting Simon, and the werewolves want Simon's death. They don't know what power Simon has, even though he is only a Rogue.

"Anyone who can catch Simon, either dead or alive, will be given a great reward!" The announcement resonated in every werewolf pack.

However, when Simon heard the announcement, he just laughed, feeling proud of himself because the werewolves were afraid of his existence. But even so, he increased his vigilance even more.

One night, the moon was perfectly circular. Humans were fast asleep and heard a long howl that made anyone who heard it shudder. Not only howls but there were also the growls of beasts.

A wolf is drinking by the lake where the water is apparent. He enjoyed the cold water that passed down his throat so much that he didn't notice a beast lurking behind the bushes. The creature's eyes watched intently without blinking as it didn't want its prey to escape.

The wolf by the lake seemed to sense that danger was lurking. After snorting a few times, he decided to leave immediately. However, just as he took a step, he heard a growl approaching him.

Shortly after, the creatures, who were both wolves, were already involved in a fight. The prey wolf howled when he was in a state of urgency. The predator, who looks savage, looks impatient to devour his prey because he is starving.

Simon is in the form of a hungry wolf after he hides in a cave. Since he knew he was being targeted, he couldn't roam freely to hunt prey. Humans also choose not to leave the house if there is no urgent need. They will only leave the house if they go in groups armed with sharp weapons.

Simon was ready with his sharp fangs and hooves. A wolf is enough to quench thirst and hunger tonight. However, when Simon's prey is in his control. He heard a rumbling sound getting closer to them. Simon is getting more alert because he smells hundreds of other creatures approaching.

Simon's prey stands back up after Simon releases him. Simon was amazed when he saw hundreds of pairs of wolf eyes staring at him, barking. Werewolves are surrounding Simon.

"Shit! I haven't had time to enjoy my game yet." Simon cursed.

Howls and growls echoed each other, adding to the tense atmosphere of the night. Simon paced back and forth while maintaining his position by puffing out his chest. Even in dangerous circumstances, his haughty and arrogant nature is still visible.

"Guys, look at him still daring to look at us with such confidence!" exclaimed one of the werewolves, greeted with a howl from the herd.

Simon snorted and replied to the wolf's words earlier. "Of course, I should be proud that you cowards feared me," he said.

"How dare you insult us! You're a savage wolf who doesn't know manners and rules."

Simon laughed at the insults thrown at him. He was making the wolves even angrier because Simon seemed to mock them.

"I'm curious about the reward you all will receive if you beat me. It must be worth very little because it has to be divided equally. I'm telling the truth. You are all cowards. To catch me, you need to lure me with this stupid wolf. If you dare face me one by one!" Simon challenged them loudly. He was so sure he could beat them all.

"We accept," said their leader, without thinking.

And fights are inevitable. There was nothing Simon could do but oppose them. He couldn't have run away like a coward when he was surrounded like that.

After fighting dozens of wolves, Simon still looks strong without serious injuries. But when he had killed many wolves, his strength was getting weaker. A day without eating made Simon's strength not as good as usual, but it did not make Simon flinch. Already many wolves were dying and dying on the spot.

The battle between Simon against hundreds of wolves is getting fiercer. Finally, the energy and strength Simon has run out. He lay on the ground gasping for air. He had no more strength to move his body than to open his eyes.

"Don't kill him! We'll hand him over to the king first."

The remaining werewolf finally dragged Simon away, and he could only resign himself to the punishment received later. However, when Simon came to his senses, the one standing before him was neither an Alpha nor a king. Just an old grandpa.

"You are greedy and cruel, Simon. You have caused wars and destroyed innocent creatures. You must receive the punishment."

Simon groaned as he tried to get up, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He could only lie weak and thought it might be time for him to die.

He then looked at the older man who was looking at him. With a smirk on his bloodstained lips, he said, "Punish. I'm ready to die!"

"Dead? No. Your punishment is not death but the pain of loss. And when you meet your offspring, he will be cursed for the rest of his life."

Simon chuckled at the older man's words. He didn't have anything of value in his life, so why was he afraid of losing? Besides, Simon hasn't and will never love a woman in this world, so how could he possibly have children."

"That is easy." Simon grinned before finally closing his eyes.

And now Simon appeared after hiding for so long. They both came because of the curse that Zalina received. Then who is Zalina for both of them?
