New law of Beast Taming

Stella remained tense the whole time they were in the government building. She only let out a sigh of relief once they were out in the open world again.

Somehow, Stella could not feel like a huge burden had been lifted after all this time. It helped her feel more relaxed and accomplished to be out of the government than to be in it.

"Ugh, thousand years of service and I fumbled it in a second. But then again, these people made me so mad that I had to quit. This is not the government I had joined at the start."

Stella was not one to complain about such things. But she could not keep her frustration in check this time. She had to let out all the words she had been keeping inside.

She was not sure how much Yoko would understand her, but Stella had to hope to gain a little sympathy from her side.

"I understand that you are suffering a lot, Stella. A thousand years is a long time for an organisation to change its interests. You should have gotten out of there as soon as you noticed them changing."

Amane advised Stella. This time, her advice was genuine, and she wanted Stella to let go of her regrets.

"You are right. I don't know why I held on to my position in the government so hard. Those people did not even like me that much. But I feel much better now that I am out of there. It feels like I can breathe properly for the first time."

Stella admitted before she took in a deep breath. Amane was happy to see Stella happy. But she could not help but feel like she was forgetting something.

'Ah well, if it's essential, then I am sure that I will remember it. For now, I need to win over Stella so that she will fight the next election for me.'

"Let's go and get something to eat. Tasty food can make you feel better in an instant."

Amane advised before she started to walk away. Stella was stunned in her place before she followed suit.

Time passed while having fun. Amane was beginning to forget all her worries when she received a call.

And that call reminded Amane of what she had forgotten about.

'Ah, I forgot all about meeting Moony. Oh shit! I forgot that I asked her to go to the government house and then forgot to update her on what happened.'

Amane had made a big mistake this time. But she was sure Moony would understand her worries and forgive her.

......

"So, what did Yoko say? Where is she?"

Crescenta looked at Moony with a sorry expression. She knew that Yoko had stood up to Moony, but there had to be a good reason behind it.

That did not mean Moony would be happy to know the truth. So Crescenta had difficulty deciding what to tell Moony about this situation.

While having trouble thinking about things, Kiana was not in the same boat. She had learned that honesty was the best policy.

"Looks like Yoko had trouble here, so she walked out with her friend. She texted us her new location, so you both will be heading out now. I need to head back now and take care of something for my higher-ups."@@novelbin@@

It was a lie, but Kiana did not want to run into Yoko Tsurugi. She was afraid to face Yoko after what she had done for 'The HIVE.' Somehow, Kiana was sure that Yoko could look through her if she showed up in front of her.

"Aww, you are heading back, Kiana? Well, take care of yourself and your drake as well. I hope you have a nice time."

Crescenta waved her away, and Moony continued to look at Kiana in silence. Her human form did not have sharp senses, but she felt she had seen this human before. And now she remembered where she had seen this human before.

The human Yoko had helped tame the drake such a long time ago. It was nice to see that she was still alive and living well.

Even if Kiana's whole body reeked of blood and guilt, Moony was not the one to judge her.

"Moony, let's get going now. I will drop you off to where Yoko is now."

Moony was excited. These words made her forget all about her worries and what she was thinking.

The ride to their next destination was short, making Moony excited to reach Yoko. She got out of the car as soon as the doors opened. She could smell Yoko from outside.

Moony walked into the establishment with an excited jump in her step. But she felt a disturbance in the air as soon as she noticed Amane's scent.

Her insides were bubbling with heat, and Moony suddenly had trouble breathing. Her instincts told her to attack and claim what she needed from Yoko.

"Yoko, we are here. Here, you asked me to bring your guest, so I did. I hope you are satisfied with me now."

Crescenta asked the question with a nervous voice. She looked behind Yoko to see Stella, and she waved in acknowledgement.

Stella was not used to getting recognised, so she was stunned. But it felt good to be talked to and acknowledged. It made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

"Crescenta, you brought Moony here? But where is she? I do not see anyone behind you."

Amane looked behind Crescenta's shoulder, but there was no one there. Moony had disappeared in seconds, and no one had noticed.

"Huh? This is odd. Moony was standing behind me just a second ago. But where did she go suddenly?"

Crescenta was worried now. She did not know what happened there. But she felt responsible for the situation. She turned toward Amane to apologise, but Amane had a severe expression on her face.

"Yoko, is everything alright? You look worried about something."

Crescenta asked this question with a hesitant expression on her face. She did not want to know the answer, but it felt wrong not to ask this of Yoko when seeing her current look.

"Things are not alright, Crescenta. I need you and Stella to empty this place as soon as possible. Everyone in here and the whole block is in danger. Seal this place and head out now."

Amane ordered, causing Stella and Crescenta to look up in alarm. They had seen Yoko this seriously before, but it had been for emergencies.

They did not dare to ask her what made her stand on edge. They knew they needed to get out of there and follow her orders.

"We understand. I will call the emergency ward and have them start the evacuation. It might take some time to get everyone out, though."

Crescenta warned Yoko, but she was determined to follow through on what she had said.

"I don't care if it takes a day or a few hours. We need to get everyone out of here so that they can remain safe. Stella, we will discuss things once I take care of this place. Now, head out of here and follow my words."

Those were Yoko's last orders before Stella and Crescenta were pushed out. Crescenta quickly made a phone call while Stella informed all her people about a looming crisis.

They did not want to cause a panic, but it ended up being the case anyway. But it did not matter when it came to people's lives.

Soon, everyone was running out of their homes with their precious belongings. People were worried about what would happen to their homes. But they were concerned about their lives more.

Moony had been hiding in an alley all this time, and she noticed all this happening. She knew that it was likely because of her and the unsettling energy she was letting out. But she could not help herself.

As soon as she had laid her eyes on Yoko, an unsettling feeling had overcome her. Her instincts had asked her to kill Yoko and to retrieve Rabelais's power.

Moony's instincts yelled at her to take that power away even now. It should not belong in a human's hand, and it needed to be brought back to the dragon's side.

'No, don't overthink about it. It is not right for me to think about these things. Yoko did nothing wrong. She is as much a victim here as I am.'

Moony firmly believed this. But her instincts and her power spoke differently. They wanted her to cleave Yoko's chest and bring her heart out. She needed to devour that heart and regain her powers.

And these instincts scared Moony enough to make her run away. She ended up hiding in a small and dark alley with nowhere to go. But this was the best place to get herself under control.

"So, this is where you were hiding, Moony. You might have been able to run away physically, but your leaking power indicates where you were hiding. Now, why don't you tell me what is wrong with you?"

The worst-case scenario happened. Yoko walked into the alley and looked at Moony.

Yoko looked worried about her, and that made Moony feel even worse about what her instincts were telling her to do. She could not harm Yoko, and Moony would not allow herself to.

Moony would restrain herself, even if it ended up harming her. And this was a risk Moony was not going to take.

She would end herself before she allowed anything to happen to Yoko.
