As both of them were once again about to start. Shin immediately stepped forward.
"Okay, guys, just stop here. If you continue, the damage will be too much."
Both Aurora and Alice were silent as they looked at him. Looking at Shin's eyes for a second, Alice sighed, and undid her transformation.
After returning to her normal form, she glared at Aurora and shouted, "This time it's a tie! Next time, I won't hold back!"
With her actions, she made it clear that she wasn't going to continue fighting and was willing to stop here.
Aurora didn't care about that. Although she was angry at Alice but it was only a small matter. But Shin is a part of the Wolner Clan. No matter how good their relationship was or how much he helped her. It doesn't matter.
Because her hatred toward Wolner Clan could never be reconciled. It will only stop after the annihilation of one side. Either she dies or the entire clan is wiped out.
Before she acted on impulse due to her anger. But now that she had calmed down. She thought back to Shin's words and couldn't help but feel a little entangled in her heart.
There was silence as the winds passed by. In the end, her cold expression didn't fade as she continued looking at him seriously.
Not getting any reply from her, Shin wondered if she still wants to kill him. But soon he heard her say.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"...You said you were banished from the Wolner Clan, right? Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Hearing her question, Shin sighed. To be honest, he didn't want to talk about that now. So he said.
"It's a long story. It'll take time to explain." Then, looking at the barrier up in the sky, he continued. "Moreover, we have already wasted a lot of time here. So let's solve this crisis first."
Aurora didn't answer for a moment. But she also understood that they have wasted a lot of time here and this can't continue, so nodding her head, she said.
"It's fine if you don't tell me now. But there is something I need to know."
Hearing her serious tone, Shin's brows furrowed. Aurora focused to see even the minute changes in his facial expressions and asked a question.
"If I want to destroy the Wolner Clan, what will you do?"
Shin was a little dumbfounded. Although he understood that she had extreme hatred towards the Wolner Clan, but he never knew it was to this extent. He also wanted to know her story, but he knew it wasn't the time, as he needed to answer her question.
Then, thinking of his relation with the clan and his feelings towards them, only one answer came to his mind.
"Nothing." He uttered.
He didn't have any good feelings for that clan. Moreover, he and his parents suffered a lot because of them. Some memories he didn't want to remember started resurfacing. His expression was a bit uncomfortable.
From his reaction, Aurora could feel he wasn't lying. But she still probed him.
"Really? Aren't you going to take revenge? They are your family."
When Shin heard her words calling them his family, he couldn't take it anymore and snapped and said with a mocking laugh.
"Hah? What family? My only family is Alice and my parents, and we have long been kicked out of the clan. Even if you kill all of them in front of me, I'll probably just eat popcorn and watch the show."
"Hell! If you ask me. I'll probably help you kill them!"
Shin's words were full of anger and hatred towards the clan. He clasped his face with his hands and took a long breath, trying to calm himself.
"Yeah, so anyway. Whatever you do with them has nothing to do with me," Shin said calmly.
"But!" Then his eyes changed, while fiercely looking at her. He continued in a dangerous and extremely cold voice.
"IF YOU HAVE ANY ILL WILL TOWARDS MY PARENTS. I'LL KILL YOU RIGHT HERE!! RIGHT NOW!!!"
When he said that, a dangerous aura enveloped him, which proved that he wasn't lying.
Aurora didn't say anything, nor did she back down. But she could feel the pressure he was releasing. He was really serious. He was ready to kill her as soon as he finds her hostile towards his parents.
"What's your parents' name?" Aurora asked.
After a small pause, Shin answered. "... Alfred and Reina."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAurora didn't know about them and couldn't confirm whether they were related to the murder of her parents. But when she looked at Shin and Alice, so wondered, 'What if they were?'
'I know I shouldn't be doing this. I know it might be a mistake, but my heart is telling me to trust him. Why is it?' Aurora has been distrustful after her parent's incident. She didn't want to trust anyone, thinking that she might be betrayed, just like her parents.
'That has been the case for all these years. So why is it now? Wasn't I going to kill all the members of the Wolner Clan? Now what should I do? Although Shin doesn't like them. He still has their blood running inside him.'
Vampires care a lot about blood. Bloodlines and such are far more important than any other relation. It is also the reason she wants to destroy their lineage.
'Mom, Dad, what should I do? Tell me.'

Seeing Aurora struggling to make a decision, Alice had a frown on her face. Looking at Aurora's expression, she has a feeling of familiarity.
'What is this feeling?' She thought.
Suddenly, she heard Mia's voice inside her mind.
[That's the same expression you had.] Mia
'Eh, Mom, when?' When Alice heard Mia's words. She was surprised. Then she hastily asked. 'Tell me, if I know that maybe I'll be able to solve this trouble.'
After their talk just now, Alice understood that Aurora didn't have hatred towards Shin, but rather, the Wolner Clan. Of course, she didn't forgive her, but after some punishment; she was willing to let her go as Shin didn't seem to be angry with her.
But when she heard Shin's harsh words towards the Wolner Clan. She had already put the Wolner Clan on the top of her list of mortal enemies. Putting the matter aside, she was thinking whether to help her or not.
'Maybe after I punish her some more.'
But when she heard Mia's answer, she couldn't describe her emotions.
[The day we died. You had the same expression until you met Shin.] Mia.
