Chapter 12: Disappeared
Chapter 11
Kira’s face instantly fell. Her expression turned cold in an instant. "You don’t trust me?"
"Want me to be honest?" Hawk asked, his face turning expressionless.
She nodded once, hesitantly.
"I don’t," he said flatly. "There’s a high chance someone is behind all this, the hunters disappearing, beasts showing up with human traits and skills, these are no coincidences. Tell me, Kira... who sent you?"
She froze. It wasn’t even a question she expected him to ask. Not this early. Not so bluntly. He’d seen through her, completely. He was damn smart as always.
"Draen, I... I’m in danger," she muttered, voice cracking slightly. "If I don’t bring that gem back, I’m dead."
’i’ll just tell him to truth, he loves me, he’ll definitely help me.’

Meanwhile...
The house was dead silent. It was past midnight and everyone was asleep. Every normal person, excluding the night owls among humans. (Author’s note: This could have been counted as humor but well, night owls, we know ourselves)
Kaizen lay on his side, blanket barely covering him, his breathing slow and even. He looked like someone deep asleep, relaxed, calm, like always. Infact, his expression seemed a bit more calmer than usual.
