Oath of the Blood Moon: Beloved of the Wolf King

Rain smashes glass like drums of countless fists.

Just after the surgery, Alyssa leaned against the wall to catch her breath.

"Dr. Alissa, this new emergency patient is in bad shape." The nurse came hurrying in a frantic voice.

Alyssa straightened up, her exhaustion overwhelmed by adrenaline. "What's going on?"

"Covered in blood, unconscious when they brought him in, said... Found in the woods outside. ' The nurse lowered her voice as if she could not say it. "It's a strange wound."

'Strange? Alissa frowned as she headed to the emergency room. "How strange?"

"Like... It looks like it was torn by something sharp, but the bleeding won't stop, and ordinary methods of stopping the bleeding won't help. ' The nurse followed her, speaking very quickly. "Besides, there was a heavy smell of blood on the patient. It was not like human blood."

Alyssa quickened her pace and pushed open the emergency room door.

The pungent smell of blood, mixed with the smell of disinfectant, made the stomach turn.

On a hospital bed lay a man, his body soaked in blood, his face indistinctly visible.

"Blood pressure? "Alyssa walked over to the bedside and took a quick glance at the monitor.

"Blood pressure is extremely low, heart rate is fast, breathing is weak." Another nurse immediately reported back.

Alyssa reached over to lift the bloody cloth covering the patient and gasped.

The man's body was covered with crisscrossing wounds, deep into the bone, the flesh turned out, like the bites of wild animals, but some of the wounds had smooth edges, like sharp cuts.

"It's not like a normal attack." Alyssa murmured, her fingers quickly examining the patient's wound. "Alert the blood bank. Get plenty of blood ready for surgery."

"Dr. Alyssa, his blood type... It's a specific type, we don't have a match at the blood bank." There was a slight quaver in the nurse's voice.

Alyssa paused and looked up at the nurse. "What blood type?"

"We did a cross match, and none of the blood types matched, like... Unknown blood type." The nurse was pale.

"Unknown blood type? Alissa felt something unusual, but now was not the time to look into it. "Top with O-negative blood for as long as you can, and prepare for surgery immediately!"

The lights of the operating room came on and thunder roared outside the window, as if to herald an unusual operation.

"Hemostatic forceps! Gauze!" Alyssa's voice, calm and দ্রুত, echoed through the operating room.

The scalpel sliced through the patient's skin, adding to the pungent smell of blood.

"Aspirator! Double down on the attractor!" Alyssa focused on the patient's wound, her brow furrowed.

"Doctor, there's too much bleeding to stop!" The assistant's voice was anxious.

"Electric knife! Quick!" Alyssa commands in a deep voice, her eyes fixed on the surgical field of view.

However, the electrotome was not doing a good job of stopping the bleeding, and the wound continued to bleed, as if by some force it was preventing the blood from clotting.

"Something is wrong..." Alyssa whispered, noticing that the edge of the patient's wound had begun to move strangely, like a muscle contracting rapidly to heal.

"Look, Doctor! The assistant exclaimed, pointing to the monitor, "The patient's heart rate... It's going up and so is the blood pressure!"

Alyssa looked up and saw that the monitor was changing rapidly. Her weak vital signs were returning quickly.

It didn't make sense! It's impossible to recover that much blood loss so quickly in such a short period of time!

She looked at the patient's wounds again. The wounds, which had been deep in the bone, had begun to scab, and new granulation was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's... How is this possible?" The aide's voice was filled with shock.

Alyssa's heart was racing, too. In all her years of practice, she had never seen anything so bizarre.

'Doctor, the pupil of the patient... "Another nurse's voice was tinged with fear.

Alyssa looked into the patient's eyes. The closed eyes were open, and the pupils stood upright, cold and wild, like a wild animal.

A low roar came from the sick man's throat, like the whimper of a wounded animal, or some kind of suppressed roar.

"Anaesthesia! "Alyssa shouted, immediately aware that something was wrong.

The anesthesiologist immediately increased the dose, but the patient's body began to struggle violently, and the anchor band squeaked.

"Hold him down! "Alyssa commanded, and several assistants immediately stepped forward, trying to control the patient's body.

However, the patient's strength was surprisingly great. As he struggled, the muscles in his arms became engrained, the blue veins were bulging, and he broke the restraints.

"Howler!!"

"A wild roar came from the patient's mouth, and the atmosphere in the operating room froze momentarily.

The patient's fangs protruded from his lips, his nails became sharp and long, and the hair on his arms became thick and rough.

Werewolf!

Alyssa's mind went blank as she watched in disbelief as science was turned upside down.

"Sedatives! Quick!" Alyssa forced herself to calm down, her voice shaking slightly.

The anesthesiologist immediately picked up the sedative and prepared to inject it.

Just then, the door to the operating room was suddenly flung open.

Two men in black suits burst in. They were tall and cold, with eyes as sharp as a knife's edge.

"We were ordered to take the patient," he said. 'One of the men said coldly, glancing around the operating room.

'Who are you?' "Asked Alissa, frowning, as she had never seen either of these men before.

"It's none of your business, doctor, you just have to do your job." The other man, in a forceful tone, walked straight to the operating table, ignoring Alyssa and her team.

"You can't take him! He's still in surgery and critical! ' "Snapped Alyssa, who could not stand by while the patient was taken away by unknown people.

"The surgery's over, isn't it? The man pointed to the monitor with a wry smile on his lips. "His vital signs are stable. Thank you for your skill, doctor."

With that, the man motioned to his companion, and the two moved quickly to lift the patient from the operating table, as if carrying a piece of cargo, roughly and casually.

"Stop right there! Alyssa shouted angrily, trying to stop them, but she was intimidated by the man's cold eyes.

"Don't be nosy, doctor, it won't do you any good." "The man warned, his voice low and menacing.

Without looking back, the two men carried the patient out of the operating room and disappeared down the hall.

The operating room was silent except for the sound of thunder outside the window.

Alyssa stood still, stunned and confused, looking at the empty operating table.

She looked down at the table, where the patient had lain, where a silver pendant lay still, gleaming cold in the light, in the delicate and eerie shape of a Wolf's paw.

Alyssa picked up the pendant, its cold metallic touch sending a chill through her.

At that moment, she suddenly felt the imprint of the blood moon on the back of her hand, and there came a searing tingle, as if something were burning inside the imprint.

She suddenly raised her hand and saw that the blood moon mark on the back of her hand was emitting a faint red light, strange and mysterious.

Alyssa's heart was racing and a strong sense of uneasiness came over her.

What was the connection between the Wolf's claw pendant and the blood moon mark on the back of her hand?

And those mysterious people, what is their origin?

This night is not meant to be peaceful.
