~(Y/n) POV~
"(Y/n)! Come quick"

"Lidia what's wron- oh no, no no."

"I'm so sorry (Y/n), I wasn't fast enough"

"You did what you could, if only I were there for them... goodbye my sweets"

Lidia then proceeds to throw away the burnt (f/p) I had left in the oven when Angie was using me

"You'll get to make more, don't worry but you should enjoy your time off."

I nod but I keep having a bad feeling about today. I go to my room and look out the window. I'm starting to get a little homesick but in the end, I have to keep pushing forward. As I lay on the bed I soon smell a certain scent, I get up and look out the window again. I look around and try to follow the scent, but they all lead to the edge of the castle.

I call out my eagle Raiden and send her towards the forest. as soon as she's above the forest she flies in a circle, our indicator that she's ready. I close my eyes and open them up with one eye changing as I start using the eye of clairvoyance. One of Raiden's eyes also has the same eye as I can see what she is seeing.

She lowers closer and lands on a branch as she looks closer to a bush. Seeing it more I focus the view and see traders.

"Shit."

I start running out and looking for the family, and as I was about to turn a corner. I see Lidia opening the main outdoor exit, behind the door was a hidden trader with a crossbow with some poisonous darts. Going out the door is the dark weaver.

As time goes slowly I shifted to my werewolf form and pulled Donna onto my chest and slam the door shut with my back. Once it closes I hear a thud on the door, indicating something got stuck in it

"Traders are here! Lidia gets everyone to a safe place!"

Lidia nods and tries to hurry everyone along

"Are you ok Lady Donna?"

she nods but soon a window was heard being broken. I growl and start to rush everyone to safety, putting donna on my back. Soon as everyone arrived at the cellar I gave Lidia a whistle to summon me in case one of the traders come in.

"Now everyone stay here, If anyone comes in blow on the whistle and I'll come running back. I going to show them all why I'm called a predator"

I close the door and started to shift into a Balor demon. As my wings form, I rush out the window before my body finishes the transformation as an immense heat is produced

I light up my fire whip and electrical sword, before flying out toward the Traders. As soon as I land the floor starts to char black and the heat becomes too much for some of the traders, those who can't handle it start to faint, and the others who try to pursue through will start to feel their skin burning. I crack my whip before using the Balor distorted voice

"You have intruded on my home, now Judgment day is here"

I roar and start to tear through the traders, hopefully, the others will be ok.

~Timeskip~

I finished up the last trader that surrounded the castle, pushing them back towards the lycans, many tried to rush in but I was able to stop them in time. As I take my sword out and start to head back while detransforming. I sent a mental message to Lidia that the coast is clear now but as I walk away I heard a voice

"I've been waiting for you Commander (L/n)"

I aim my sword at the person in the cart

"How do you know my title?"

"Anyone who is anyone has heard about you, the infamous dog turn leader. Though that 'master' of yours does arouse suspicion."

"I hope you don't mean Mother Maria, 'cause you're spiking mine."

"Of course not, I'm referring to the one in the castle. After all, I'm just a humble merchant"

Humble my ass, he reeks of deception

"Forgive my manners, call me the Duke, Now to business. Weapons, ammunitions, healing salves-Anything you desire, I can provide, I even have Glammer to hide your ears and tail if you wish."

That comment irked me, getting a feeling that he was insulting me but I look the other way.

"I don't need anything, Farewell."

I start to walk away till my ears perked up and hear his next comment

"Of course, however, I do have a special present for you, from Ethan Winters."

I stop and look at him, I slowly approached him before I grab the note and read it (after paying him of course Merchants).

Commander (Y/n)

If you are reading this that means you found the Duke. He was able to give me some information about my daughter, he talked about the castle and how the owner will be mostly responsible for her disappearance. I will wait an entire day for you to come to the castle's outpost, if you don't arrive I will take initiative. Hope you get here to back me up.

From Ethan

I immediately grab the Duke's collar

"When did he write this."

"Now madam it is rude to-"

"Answer the fucking question" My voice lowered and slightly distorted as my eyes flashed a familiar red

"A day and a quarter ago"

Fuck no no no.

I let him go and immediately ran to the castle, hopefully, Ethan doesn't do anything rash but after rethinking the cabin situation with the other survivors, I'm sure the worst will come.

Shit, I got to get back before I lose one of them. Ethan you better not fuck this up. Faster bitch!

~Timeskip~

Once I arrived at the castle I smell the gunpowder. Knowing only one person will carry that around I rushed through the doors.

"Lidia! Where are ya'll!"

I keep running through the castle halls till I heard 3 familiar laughs. Hoping nothing has gone to shit, I'll have to see them at my lady's quarters.
