Chapter 729: Courage?
Kate mind was firing up in all cylinders. She was definitely scared so much so that her legs were wobbly but she stood up because of the huge adrenaline rush.
" Lady Amanda! Run away! I will do something to save him!" She only yelled loudly and ran without even looking back.
" Miss!" Amanda tried to stop her. She realize young master must have kept her in the dark and Kate must have taken the tackle of Luna as a life threatening event. She tried to stop her but she tripped because she was wearing long maid dress.
Meanwhile, Kate rushed to Samuel's rescue. She didn't know what to do but she could just sit back and watch the love of her life being eaten alive. She was barely hearing his scream which meant he must be unconscious after the takedown.
She could see the white wolf swaying it's head from side to side, thankfully other wolves didn't seem to go after him probably waiting for their turn. She didn't care, she just wanted to save his life.
She could only use her tiny body to slam against the wolf to try to get it off of him. Her mind wasn't even thinking about what happened to her. The only priority was to somehow get him out of here, even if she lost her life it would be a success if she was able to see that he was safe.
" Arrrrrhhhhhh, motherfucker! Get off him!" She used all her force to hit it's head from the side but her attacks landed on the side of it's neck. The only thing that she could feel was she was hitting a pillow, her attack barely worked!
" Sami! Sami!" She started clawing and using her whole body but the damn thing just wouldn't budge! Beside it was completely ignoring her! She started panicking with tears in her eyes, she wasn't ready to lose him! They were just started to get along! Now that it came to this, she was ready to surrender herself without looking back.
There was no way she could live without him. In her mind, it was better to perish along him. There was no way that he would be enough for all six of them.
" Sami! S-Sami?"
Suddenly she saw, his face pop up from the corner wolf's head to look at her sobbing uncontrollably.
" Waaahh....Sami!" She leaped into his arms without caring about anything. On the other hand, he was confused seeing her like this. He was busy fending Luna's playful attacks while busy listening to her excited panting.
" W-what? A-are you scared?" He didn't know what to do other than to hug her tightly. He could feel her whole body was shaking. He never wanted it to happen, that's why he asked her to stay back. He thought Amanda would be enough to calm her down but it looked like he inadvertently scared her to death!
" Owaaaahhhh!" She started ugly crying just hearing her voice. Even Luna seized her action and sat beside them quietly. She was smart enough to know there was something wrong with this human!
" Shh...calm down. I didn't know you were so scared of wolves. I was only planning to surprise you." He sat up with her in his lap as she buried her face in his chest.
" I *sob* thought you were...you were.... *sob* dead..."

" What? Are you talking about Luna? She is a good girl but a little bit mischievous. I am sorry you have to go through it." He patted her head and rubbed her back to calm her down.
" See? How many times I have told you not to do that? I brought some high quality meat but I am not giving it to you! Same for you guys too!" He exclaimed.
Other wolves also gather around him while Luna tried to appease his anger by growling in a low tone. He could see that she was sulking.
" Young master...they are just playing around. Isn't it your fault that you didn't warn her before bringing her here?" Amanda came and made an important point. Titan walked beside her as she brushed his head.
He was the one that constantly followed her around so it was not a surprise to see him getting chummy with her. Beside he could clearly smell the food she brought with her. It had became a sort of ritual for her to visit them when she had a day off.
" Even so..." He didn't have anything to retort her with. They clearly looked like they were feeling sorry for their actions. Samuel knew it was hard to get rid of their wild side no matter how much he was able to understand their feelings.
" Kate...open your eyes. They are not bad kids." Following his appeal she slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the noble white wolf looking curiously at her from the side. Luna was close enough to blow gentle warm breaths at her face and honestly it didn't smell good.
She turned around to notice all the wolves sitting in circles around both of them. Only a single wolves was rubbing it's head against Amanda's waist while she happily pet him.
" They are just like dogs, a slightly larger one but once you get acquainted with them they wouldn't harm you." he whispered.
" A-are you sure?" She still couldn't believe her eyes. It was too bizarre and world shattering for her to be among the wolves. It's not she never saw geographic channel where they showed similar feat but even them they would strongly against it because wild animals were dangerous.
But here, she was seeing submissive wolves gathering around them clearly listening to what Samuel like he was their parent!
" Here." He grabbed her hand and slowly led her toward Luna's head. Kate hesitated but with him being so close to her, she had sufficient courage to to with it.
" It's alright. I promise she will not bite, right Luna?"
Kate who was on the edge immediately felt relieved seeing Luna voluntarily come forward to meet her palm. Her soft white fur brushed against her giving her a tingling feeling. She instinctively moved her other hand and grabbed Luna's big head looking straight into her milky yellow eyes.
Luna went past her hands to come closer to smell her face. Even though it was smelly, Samuel told her not to move and let it greet her. Other wolves also came closer smelling the new stranger on Samuel's lap.
Kate felt them towering over her but for some reason she wasn't scared. They were making all kind of noises but they were patient and waited for their turn. Samuel introduced them one by one that's when she got to learn that the greeting ceremony was in hieratical order with Luna as their leader.
Kate was caught off guard when they started kissing her face. She could feel their rough tongue brushing against her teeth.
" It's their normal greeting. Don't worry it will be over in a minute." He whispered. Kate didn't even notice when he brushed her aside to make room for other wolves. He was standing at her side looking at her playing with them.
She seemed to have same affinity as Amanda as the wolves didn't mind her presence for some reason. While Amanda was like a respectable elder for them, Kate felt more like equal when it came to standing.
" I was so frightened to see her rush in suddenly. They are generally wary of quick movements but since Luna was engrossed in licking you face, she ignored her otherwise this could be a lot worse." Amanda added. Even she knew not to approach them carelessly, usually she would wait for them to come to her.
" Thats..." Samuel didn't know what to say. One slash from her ginormous paw would have heavily injured Kate, regardless, she rushed in because she felt he was being attacked? What was she thinking?
" At least she seem to enjoying herself. I don't know about her mental state though." He didn't want her to be scarred for life!
" Should I bring their snack? It would be easier for her to get rid of that fear if she personally feed them."
" That's a good idea."
Kate suddenly felt getting dragged out from the center. Amanda handed her few slabs of meat and instructed her to throw them around. She wanted to be there when they feed but Samuel advised against it. It was better to leave them alone since they tend to fight during their meal.
Three of them sat some distance away looking at them chowing down on it. The sound was not horrendous and unappetising especially for a newcomer like Kate but she still watched it with mesmerization.
" Kate, never do that again! I understand that you are worried but you shouldn't put yourself in harms way!"
" What? Why are you scolding me for it? I just tried to save you."
" Promise me you wouldn't."
" I can't. I can't see you get hurt, I might not die watching from the side lines but my heart will. I don't want to regret it in the future." She said with a serious face.
" Kate..." Samuel didn't know what to say. He didn't know if he deserved such affection. They stared at each other's eyes for a moment before Amanda interrupted them.
" I know that you love each other but we have people watching. Beside, I am more worried about you clothes Miss Kate."
" Clothes? Shit!"
" This..."
There were clearly some stain marks around her pants. She didn't even realize that she soiled her pants because she was scared shitless!
" Pff~" He shouldn't be laughing but it was hard to control it looking at her agape face when Amanda informed her. Fortunately, it was liquid so she didn't need to tend to it immediately but at the same time because of the colour of her pants, the wet spot was much more visible. Considering it's place, it wasn't hard for onlooker to guess what happened!
In the end, Samuel made sure that she returned home safely without anyone finding out about her embarrassing discharge!
