As the mont ca for to answer… only one choice was left for .
"RAVEN!" I called out to him and my voice almost ca out in a girly pitch.
"Yes, sir!" Raven hearing the girly pitch, replied imdiately.
"How far are we from the place?"
"Only a few more minutes left."
'Shit! A few minutes… that's like a freaking millennia.'
Feeling the pairs of gazes bearing into , I called out to him again, "A- Anything I should know about?"
Raven obviously knowing what was happening inside, smiled and decided to help out, "Yes, actually. My pack of brothers has arrived at the place with their families."
I smiled, a worry vanishing away, "That's good."
"There's a problem with the housing, sir." Raven said rembering the forest area, "I was wondering, where would all of them stay?"
"Don't worry about that, I have an idea." I smiled before slightly tugging off my arms from both the distracted won.
"Alice about your studies, are you learning from those magic books I've got you."
Alice nodded, "Yes, master. They are very helpful to , especially the fact that almost all of them are books that tell you how to guide the spells through the sigmat ring."
Then she smiled a bit proudly, "But since I am a witch, I don't need one. My natural ability to use magic freely is making the learning process much easier." Then her smile faltered, "But my dark magic still hasn't gotten any better."
Anna put a hand on her shoulder, "It's okay, I suppose it would take so ti. Besides you are so much better at using all the other spells. Just being bad at one category isn't a big problem."
I looked at the interaction between them and almost forgot that they had a fight few minutes ago. They were always like that, they would fight sotis for no reason before coming back to being the happy little and older sister relationship they have.

The rows of carriages stopped as they ca before a large iron gate. In the middle of carriages, one stood out then the others with its distinct figure. Its door opened and a sowhat fat and tall person ca out of it surrounded by two stunning maids. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire
"So we're finally here huh… Screeching Forest." I said standing before the iron gate.
Behind the gate was the infamous large white mansion of this forest. Truth be told, the mansion was very big and the place too was quite good. The only problem was that the mansion was surrounded by a dense forest that seed very creepy at night.
Especially with the rumors of ghosts roaming at that ti.
Then my eyes gazed at the 10 feet tall wall protecting the mansion and nodded.
'At least this place has better security than that place.'
Raven jumped off the carriage and ca beside , "Sir, the mansion has been completely cleaned from the inside and is ready for use."
Hearing him, I look outside the place and see the mansions walls, windows and other external parts which were dirty, broken or even downright destroyed.
"Bring in the stuff and prepare rooms for everyone to stay. Also hire people to clean and fix the place first thing tomorrow, alright."
"Yes, sir." Raven nodded.
"Why don't you rest for a while, master? It was a long ride from Hyfelia." Anna suggested.
I shake my head, "No, I already slept in the carriage. I want to stretch my body a bit now." Then turning to Raven, "Bring to your pack and let's talk about your living circumstances."
Raven nodded and I said to Jacob, who steadily ca towards . His left leg now completely new as from knee below it was a replaced with a titanium prosthetic leg, "How's the leg?"
"It's great." Jacob smiled while demonstrating it by moving his leg smoothly, "I thought it would be a lot harder but it's actually quite smooth and has far less weight than I thought."
"Hmm, that's how it should be. Titanium is ant to be low weight while also being very sturdy." Then I smirked at him, "So you know what that ans, right?"
Jacob smiled, "I will start training again, don't worry I will be the best swordsman in no ti."
I smiled too while shaking my head, "As reassuring it is to hear that but I ant you should help the others with the luggage." I said pointing towards a large pile of clothes and items that the workers were already sweating from seeing it.
Jacob's face turned pale, "I haven't gotten used to my new leg yet and you're already giving heavy work."
"You can help out Anna and Alice with their stuff, if you want."
"Where do you want to put them?" Jacob said almost instantly as he went towards the luggage.
…
Walking through the forest, I asked Raven, "Why is your pack hiding here?"
"They didn't think that anyone would take it kindly if they were to be seen at the mansion." Raven said.
"Who's going to walk by this haunted place besides us anyway?" I sarcastically said as Raven nodded.
"I tried telling them but they had family so-"
"So they stayed away for safety." I nodded.
Then I heard chatter of small children as I saw a few groups of burly hairy creatures huddling around themselves. Hearing us, they disbanded and I was able to see them clearly.
It seed like a small village. There were a lot of wolfn of all ages - young, old, n, won and especially a lot of children who seed more like mutts than wolfn.
Raven stepped forward and scread, "Stand!"
In command, many male wolfn stood forward in attention as I gazed at them.
"When I first t you guys, there were originally sixteen of you, including you, right?" I turned to Raven who nodded. "And now how many of are here?"
Raven counted quickly, "Fifty-One."
"Wow! That's a big increase from the first count." I smiled then my face darkened, "Now among the fifty-one of you, is the fifteen who left to get their family back still here?"
Raven counted once more as his face darkened, "…There's one missing"
