Chapter 541 How To Stop Feeling Pain?

Dozens of people were gathered around a few stacks of burning logs. Viktor, Taya, and Umilia were standing behind them as they saw these people singing some kind of ancient song that seemed to reach the depths of their souls.

The song sounded sad and melancholic, and Viktor could see how Chief Tamo, Aelita, and their people were looking quite devastated as they saw the bodies of their people turning into ashes.

Considering how their community was quite small, consisting of not more than a few dozen people living in the same place, each of them must have been like family to each other.

"Thank you for joining us…All of your presence certainly helps us feel better. Every one of us feels grateful for all of your help in protecting our temple today," Chief Tamo said with a moved smile.

"We are glad we could be of help. Again, I am sorry about your son and your people," Taya said with a subtle bow of her head.

"At least let's pray the Ancient One would forgive him and grant him a happy afterlife," Chief Tamo said though his grip on his walking stick tightened when he thought about Dark Phoenix.

Chief Tamo added as his voice turned cold, "We all will pray that you and your people will make Dark Phoenix and his allies pay for their sins. If only we could do it ourselves, we would have already set out to do it."

"Don't worry about it. We would definitely stop those assholes before they can mess with our family or us," Viktor said in a determined tone. He knew if Dark Phoenix and his allies like the Death Queen were allowed to gain more power and influence, then soon it would be quite difficult to stop them and might even destroy the world people like Tiana and Sayana live in. Since Taya and Umilia wished for them to live normal lives, Viktor felt he couldn't let them down.

"Good. Without you all…we couldn't dare imagine what might have happened to us all. I hope I can come up with something to give you to show our gratitude," Chief Tamo said with a veiled light in his eyes.

Viktor softly chuckled as he said, "There is no need for all that. We did it because we wanted to."

Chief Tamo subtly nodded, "May the Ancient One bless you all."

The death ritual was soon done, but Aelita suddenly walked away, making Chief Tamo sigh and say to Viktor, "She is too young to handle so much death of our dear ones. Can you please go and talk to her? I would have done it if not for the fact that I am not in a state to tell her what she needs to hear."

"Leave it to me," Viktor said with a strong nod before glancing at Umilia and Taya, who gave him a nod.

Viktor saw Aelita walking up a hill and followed her at his own pace. The skies were dark, with radiant stars lighting up across them.

He was able to easily walk through the dark forest by using his powerful werewolf vision. And finally, he saw the trees clear up and lead a path towards a cliff opposite to which there was a large, beautiful waterfall.

One could hear the crystal clear sound of a river at the bottom of the cliff. It sounded so soothing and relaxing enough for one to feel like spending the entire night here.

And on the top of a cliff, a caramel-skinned beauty with spools of her silky chocolate brown hair falling over her back was sitting on the edge with the radiant light of the full moon reflecting off her smooth, buttery warm skin.

Viktor couldn't help but yet again admire her amazonian figure that sat well on her lithe, curvy body. He had only come across very few women who could maintain a pleasing, athletic body with lean and toned muscles.

She had changed her dress, but it was still the same simple, sleeveless midi dress but white color. The dress clearly displayed her long slender legs and accentuated her E-cup breasts to the point Viktor could see a glimpse of her side breasts spilling out.

'Uhh, I should focus…' Viktor couldn't believe he was feeling aroused by looking at a woman who was clearly in pain. He blamed it all on the full moon hanging up in the sky, triggering certain primal instincts inside him.

If Talia had been here, he wouldn't dare imagine what would have happened.

He immediately shut off his werewolf bloodline and returned to his human form as he walked up to her.

"You mind if I sit with you?" Viktor asked as he stood behind her.

"V-Viktor…" Aelita was startled as she quickly wiped her eyes, making Viktor wonder if her mind was elsewhere all this time.

"Of course, please….I had no idea you were…"

Viktor smiled as he sat down beside her with his legs dangling over the cliff, "I am sorry that I followed you. If you prefer to be alone…"

"No…not at all. Your presence is greatly welcome," Aelita said with a brief, shy smile without looking at him.

She then asked after some hesitation, "But…why did you come? I don't want to inconvenience your wives by keeping you here."

"Don't worry about them. They know, and besides, it's a sin for a beautiful lady like you to enjoy this beautiful scenery without a companion," Viktor said with a smile.

"I…" Aelita felt at a loss for words and didn't know what to say as her cheeks turned a faint pink.

Why was his presence so overwhelming?

"You seem like you want to ask me something. What is it?" Viktor asked after closely observing her expression.

Aelita raised her brows, wondering how he knew that, and then asked in a low voice, "It's just that…I wanted to know how to stop feeling this pain inside me? I feel as if I failed not only my brother but a part of my family, who died as well. All of them were like my fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters…which only makes me feel worse…" Aelita's tone became fragile as tears trickled down her wet cheeks.
