Chapter 399 – Loup
"Why not you?"
Loup was stupefied, his black eyes trembling sporadically as he watched the white eyes of the woman in front of him, eyes that seemed to curve into laughter.
"W-Who—!" He didn't even manage to speak, his words cut short by the rasping of his breath. Tears fell faster, and Loup abandoned the attempt to speak altogether.
Instead, he tried to put distance between himself and the woman, despite being blocked by the glowing pillar.
The pale woman didn't answer him. She crouched down and took something out of the pocket of her simple yet luxurious robe.
It was a crimson metallic box, runes slithering around it, forming a harrowing sight.
She placed it on the floor between herself and Loup, and instantly the young wolf felt as if the world around him became muddled, drowned beneath invisible barriers.
For some inexplicable reason, he began to believe that at that moment… he was truly alone.
All alone with a strange woman standing before him.
