Office Romance with a Werewolf

"Pull out their hair?

Randell repeated what Nida had suggested.

It is something he never thought of doing.

"Yes, why?"

"Do you even know how hard it is to do that?"

"Better than killing? Or do you all really love to kill? "

"I don't want to kill them, but taming them means riding on their backs and pulling their golden hair." Randell tried his best to make Nida understand that this was something difficult to do. "Even though the pack always listens to me, they won't love to ride a horse. When do you ever see a wolf riding a horse? "

"I didn't say that the wolf would do it. my dust will. " Nida smiled at him. She felt rather excited about what she was about to do.

She is not that adventurous, but this event is making her blood boil with excitement.

"Are you sure you won't get hurt from doing it? Don't be reckless. " He said, worriedly.

"Don't worry, I won't. My safety is my priority. My dust already told me it was safe and, by the way,"

Nida paused for a moment before continuing her statement, as if she was pondering her words.

"You and Daniel probably already know that I am Mila's priest. And you don't even tell me that your goddess is Mila." She gave Randell a sharp gaze, but she didn't give Randell a chance to respond.

"After this, prepare to explain. Daniel is sick. Let's go to his house after this. "

"Is he sick? Is that why his spell was repelled? "

"That's another story. Anyway, let's stop chatting. You need to go to Sir Wendell. He is angry that you left the top floor. "

"How did you know?"

"My dust told me." After Nida said that, she raised her heel and teasingly kissed Randell on his cheeks. Then her dust surrounded her and made her float up the building.

"Hey! You should come with me! Don't attack alone! "

Randell shouted as he followed behind Nida, jumping and crawling up the building.

"You look like Spider-Man if you go up like that." Nida teasingly commented and made her dust move faster.

"Hmm? So 10 wolves and 15 Tikbalang had already died. " Nida said as she listened to her dust report. She went up first while Randell was still busy climbing up.

The Tikbalang and werewolves did not have time to notice her appearance since they were busy fighting with each other.

"Sir Wendell, I am taking the Dark Priest role for the mean time." She approached Wendell, who was busy choking two Tikbalang.

Wendell looked at her with a frown, as if Nida wasn't welcome to show up.

"I can also help to take down the Tikbalang. But instruct everyone to stop killing the Tikbalang."

"What is this? You're siding with the Tikbalang? "

"No." Nida frowned and then decided to turn her back to Wendell. She forgot that it would be really hard to talk to Wendell because he hates Nida wholeheartedly. 

"Well, whatever. Just deal with whatever I am going to do. "

She clasped her hand and prayed, remembering what she had done to shield the ungrateful werewolves.

"My dust! I don't want any more killing. Please help me control this chaos and bring peace to both races. "

She keeps repeating her words until the dust forms a human shape. Each of the dust formations moved behind the Tikbalang and rode them at the back.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The horses cried and stomped their feet as if to reject the coming of their strange tamers.

The werewolves backed away and watched the Tikbalang flail their arms and stomp their feet into the ground and air to force out the unwanted rider onto their backs.

The top floor of the hotel building is starting to crack as the strong stomping of their feet makes the concrete start to crumble.

Before the building collapsed, Nida instructed the dust to hurry and anticipate the crumbling of the building, making sure that the people below wouldn't be injured.

Nida sweats a lot because she is using her dust more than she normally does.

'Why am I even working hard now?' She asked as she contemplated everything happening and how she had turned into a guardian of the ungrateful and mischievous wolves.

While she was busy thinking and talking to herself, her dust effortlessly took the Tikbalang's golden hair and tamed it into a good horse.

The dust immediately flew towards her and gathered around her with the golden hair of the Tikbalang.

Nida stuck her hands together and opened them up in the direction of the dust. Her dust immediately placed the hair in her hands until it became so thick that it ended up looking like a blonde wig.

She looked at the thin golden hairs before she looked at the Tikbalang, who was now calm and less hostile. The leader of the Tikbalang approached, which Randell blocked with his whole body.

"Oh Randell, you came back." After all his hard work to climb up, Nida casually greeted him.

"You made it too fast, Nida. What will you do now?" he asked as he dusted off his hand that had become dusty and dirty after he climbed up the tall building.

He was still blocking the Tikbalang's leader and pushed him on his shoulder to make him back away.

"She took our spine. You are now our master," the leader of the Tikbalang majestically said as he kneeled down with one leg and one of his hands on his chest. The rest of the Tikbalang followed their leader and also respectfully bent down toward Nida.

She is dumbfounded and didn't expect them to be this obedient.

Although she can't believe what she is seeing, the wounds and the injuries that the Tikbalang received from the fight worry her more.

"Ten, twenty, twenty-five... how many are you?" She asked instead, while she tried hard not to look at the werewolves that were also present on the roof top.

"32 were left, master."

"Stop calling me Master. I only hear those words in dramas and comics. "

"What should we call you, master?"

"Whatever, as long as it is not cringe," she said as she waved her hand. She absorbed her own dust and the cores that she picked up.

Absorbing the core brings back her energy.

Unaware that the wolves and Tikbalang were watching, they looked at her with anger and disgust.

She blatantly eats their family's soul.

And the most angry of those who saw this was Wendell. He was about to move forward and attack her, but Randell held his shoulder tightly.

"Wendell, calm down." Wendell can't say anything back since Randell, in his berserk form, is too intimidating. His stifling aura can make any creature cower in front of him.

Unaware of the tension and anger manifesting around her, she stretched her body to start her healing session.

Actually, Nida is the only human standing in the middle of a muscled and bloodied creature that was rampaging a while ago.

The werewolves didn't let go of their berserk form even though the fight was already settled.

It is more like they are gritting their fangs toward Nida and Tikbalang but choosing not to attack.

Not only did the Tikbalang receive blows and injuries, but Nida could also see the bloody furs of the werewolves. That is why she is more worried about their injuries than getting scared of the monstrous and dark image of the dark creatures.

She was about to cast her dust, but Randell approached her again.

"Nida. Don't do more things to trigger them. " Randell warned her as he grabbed her wrist.

"Trigger them?" she asked, clueless. "But what did I do?"

"Even though they are under your control, they still have emotions. They could get angry at you, but the difference is that they can't kill you."

"What are you talking about?" she asked, confused by Randell's words.

She's curious why he's concerned about the Tikbalang, as if he hadn't just planned to kill them.

"You absorbed the cores in front of them. You let the Tikbalang and my pack watch their family getting eaten up. " Randell whispers to her in a very serious tone.

After hearing Randell's statement, she realized her mistake and looked at Randell shakenly.

"I didn't know. What should I do?" She asked as she felt bad about her actions.

She wasn't aware that what she was doing was brutal in the eyes of others.

"Don't worry," Randell whispered, then kissed her forehead.

Randell released his berserk form and revealed his human body with torn clothes and shoes.

Randell held her hand gently and pulled her in front of everyone. 

"Wolves! Release your forms now! There is no harm to our pack anymore. Our priestess protected us against the Tikbalang. " He shouted as the werewolves followed his words with confusion while the Tikbalang silently remained kneeling.

"She will also return our family members that were killed this night. You may include the Tikbalang, but it will be limited to all of you."

The Tikbalang remained silent, showing no reaction or emotion while the werewolves cheered and some still doubted what Nida would do.

"Hey, what are you deciding on your own?" Nida asked Randell, but the only answer she received was a kiss.
