Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 86
“…I will suffer wherever I go?” Randell asked.
Randell trembles as he feels ridiculous from all that is happening to him now, but he feels relieved when Ranz finally talks to him again inside his head.
“Randell.”
“Ranz! Finally, you’re here! Didn’t you come back at the same time as me? ”
“We come back at the same time, but I hesitate to talk since I don’t want to be discovered by the goddess. Good job on not telling her about my existence. ”
“Of course, I’m not going to let anyone have their way with us!”
“Yes, thank you, but you must be very confused now.”
“Yes, didn’t you tell me we had just transmigrated into another world? I didn’t know that we were wolves.”
Randell thought that the wolf that did attack the school was just another thing that possessed their bodies that made them both lose control of their physical bodies.
“So it’s really us who do the killing.”
Ranz let out a long sigh and was thankful that this time they couldn’t see each other physically or that Randell could see his grimace.
“We are actually werewolves.”
“So we aren’t human?”
“We are partly human.”
“Then tell me, what is happening?”
Randell is getting frustrated as everyone keeps living out the explanation for him.
If only his adopted parents had explained to him that he was a wolf that would go berserk, he wouldn’t have gone out of the house.
It’s the same with Ranz. If only Ranz had told him the full details of their situation, he wouldn’t have come out and played with Nida.
Ranz became silent as he still organized his thoughts on how he would explain it to Randell, who he thought was still too young to know something as gruesome and complicated as life.
Once the goddess spoke, they stopped to converse for a moment.
“No, it’s not that.” The goddess bit her lip as she held onto her own words.
Isn’t she the same as others who are also hiding things from me?
Why does everyone keep hiding things from me?
to protect me?
garbage! They even put me more in danger by the more they hide things behind my back!
He grumbles internally.
Even though he is fuming in rage, there’s nothing he can do because what happened happened.
“Aren’t you going to tell me the truth?” He soullessly asked the goddess, but he didn’t receive any answer, nothing but silence.
Knock, knock, knock,
The room’s silence was broken when someone gently knocked on a door.
“Door?” Randell looked around, checking around the enclosed room, but he could only see black walls.
“Your family is here. You’ll be fine even if you come to them. They won’t harm you again. That’s the only thing I could promise. From now on, you will be safe. ”
The goddess said as she snapped her fingers, and a door creaking sound echoed around the room, but Randell still couldn’t see any doors.
“Hmm?” He looked up as he felt ridiculous if there really was a door on the ceiling.
“Why would a door be in your ceiling?” He looked down at his side to ask the goddess a question, but she vanished without saying goodbye.
“How should I even get up to go outside? The ceiling is too high!” He felt betrayed again as he was left alone inside.
“AHH!” He screamed once he saw a large hand getting inside the door and picking him up.
“What is going on? Get off of me! ” He flails his body around to get away, but then he gives up and lets the hand take him.
‘Here or there, it would be the same.’ Randell reflected as he lost his desire to fight.
“AAH!”
He covered his eyes with his arms once he went out of the enclosed room because a beam of light lit it up.
“My son!” Someone instantly hugs him once he reappears outside the room.
“Who?” he asked as he looked around to see where the large hand had gone.
He does not see the person because he abruptly hugged him before he could adjust his vision, but he soon frowns once he recognizes the people around him, looking at him worriedly.
“You all looked worried,” he bluntly said, as he pushed the person’s shoulder to break off his embrace.
“We are really worried about you, brother.” A girl who is about two years younger than him said in a very pitiful voice, as if she was about to cry.
‘Funny, your acting skills won’t work for me. ‘ He scoffed in front of the family in front of him.
“R-Ranz, do you know us?” The man who hugged him asked with a shaking voice.
“Ranz?” He repeated the name they called him, as he got confused about why they knew the name Ranz.
“Ranz, that’s your real name.” An old lady interjected and explained, acting that she was very sad.
“No. My name is Randell Lobo. ” He sternly responded and was about to walk away, but the man held his hand to stop him.
“They really brainwashed you!” The man shouted angrily. “I am your father! They steal you when you are an infant! That’s how you were separated from us! Please Ranz, let’s go back home. ”
“Home?” Randell slapped the hand of his biological father.
“Why suddenly have an interest in me? Why? Is it because the rest of your children, despite being born female, are quite weak? You didn’t even bat an eye at me once you knew that I was a boy! Now you want me to be back home just because I went berserk? ” He shouted in a rage.
Ranz told him why they were abandoned. He told him their biological parents wanted a daughter, not a son.
He knows well that they were abandoned and will not be easily swayed because they will act remorseful in front of him.
“No, Ranz, we are your family. How could we do that? ”
Randell was sickened by his biological father’s hypocrisy.
Like his previous father in the other world, his current father was also prophesied but with different content.
In a previous life, the prophecy was:
“The leader of the pack will have an exceptional son who will be the most powerful alpha.”
the prophecy in present life:
“The leader of the pack will have an exceptional daughter who will be the most powerful alpha.”
The only difference was the gender required, which affected Randell’s life greatly.
‘Why the heck listen to this foretelling and let the prophecy dictate your life?’
He grumbled internally as he didn’t like how his previous and present parents were both stupid and gullible.
“Please give us a chance to stay with you,” his father begged.
He looked down at his father, who was working extremely hard with his act.
and thought of what was behind his father’s act.
“Did they discover that I may be of any use to them that they wanted me to be back?”
“Ranz, what should I do? Where can I escape? ” He asked Ranz for an escape route since Ranz knew how to use their wolf body while Randell could only control the human level functionality of their body.
“There’s no way out. It seems we are at the werewolf head quarters. I could smell more than a hundred werewolves. ”
“Then we can’t escape.”
“Just act submissive, fake that you believe them, and just escape once they let us freely move around. We cannot fight this many wolves unless you want to die. ”
“How could I even act submissive again when I was angry and I even rejected them! Are they going to lock me up instead? ”
“Calm down, just be angry now and slowly act like you understand them, then let’s escape once they lose the guard.” Ranz advised.
“Okay, I’ll trust you, but once we are done here, you need to tell me the entire truth. Please stop hiding things from me! ”
“Yes, I will, sorry.”
The two surprisingly got along again, and then they planned on how they could go back to their peaceful life.
“How can I even trust you?” He said awkwardly, but the others didn’t notice his sudden awkward acting.
“Please stay with us and return to our home! Please give us a chance to show you that your kidnappers made you believe it was not true. We will prove that they only brainwashed you! ”
“Of course! father was right! We’ve been looking for you for years! “a lady in her twenties interjected, which he guessed was his elder sister.
“We are sorry that we have given up… it’s been eighteen years… we are sorry that we gave up looking for you! ”
“Brother, please come back!”
“Please forgive us!”
He and three other younger kids talked one-on-one, pleading, which he believed his younger sisters that the leader tried and tried to have daughters to have what he desired.
“I guess he failed to satisfy the prophecy.” Randell concluded as he looked into the group of daughters.
“Okay, I will believe you all, for now!!” he shouted out of desperation.
“Yehey!”
The girls rejoiced, and their father’s eyes sparkled.
“I will come back, but it doesn’t mean I will fully trust you all.”
“It doesn’t matter what the reason is, the important thing is that you’re back! My son!” his father happily stated as he held his hand tightly.
Randell looked at his father disgustedly.
“What kind of scheme is in his mind?”
