The Blue Eyes

Blue was crying. The reason behind her sudden sob was unclear, but tears started rolling down her cheeks. After her ears caught new information that she was created by Professor Joseph, she suddenly burst into tears.

Perhaps it was because she finally learned her origins after seventeen years of searching and got nothing, or perhaps it was because she finally confirmed that she was indeed not a human.

"So, I'm not a human and just a puppet that you created?" The blue-eyed girl looked gloomily at Joseph.

Joseph looked puzzled, but it didn't take long because he immediately chuckled as he waved his left hand that not holding the wooden stick. "That's not what I meant," he clarified. "You're human, but ever since you were born, I had injected a formula that triggered a DNA mutation in your body. Unfortunately, the formula was in a dormant state and it needed seventeen years to activate it in your body. Once the formula is active, it will turn you into the strongest werewolf on Earth."

Blue gasped in surprise at Joseph's long explanation.

"If I'm a human, then who are my parents?"

Blue had arranged many questions in her head, but that was the question uttered by her.

Joseph did not immediately answer the young girl's question. Instead, he secretly glanced at Mike for a moment, then looked back at Blue with a grim look on his face. "You don't need to know who your parents are because they had died a long time ago," said the old man in a distant tone.

Blue was astounded by Joseph's words. She had been wondering about her parents for a long time, but it turned out that her parents had indeed died. Blue was indeed an orphan who had never seen the faces of her parents. Never mind seeing, she didn't even know their identity.

Blue's tears were pouring down even more. She didn't even care that now many people saw her cry and saw how fragile she was.

"I think the pleasantries are enough now. The day will change in a few minutes, so we better prepare to welcome Blue's great power," Mike, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again. He turned his body towards the other werewolves and said, "I have indeed lied to you for seventeen years, but we are already here. We only need to wait for a bit more to get power and immortality from this girl. Are you guys going to back off just because you feel disappointed in me?"

The werewolves, who were still circling the bonfire, were whispering to each other. Mike had been their leader for decades, and during that time, he had done a lot to them. Although Mike had lied to them very viciously for the past seventeen years, he was a good leader in general. Therefore, they decided to stick with Mike.

Mike smiled with satisfaction at the decision of his people, but then realized that he had not heard an answer from someone important to him. "Jack," he called out the young werewolf. "What's your decision? Are you going to keep following me?"

Jack did not immediately answer the leader's question. He couldn't deny the feeling of disappointment and anger in his heart. He had been a dumb puppet running around to carry out Mike's orders without knowing the basis of the orders was a big lie.

The young man thought earnestly. He glanced briefly at Blue, who currently looked shaky after knowing the true story, then he also glanced at Joseph, who he had respected for so many years.

Joseph was his role model. He knew that Joseph was the one who created all the werewolves in the world. Sadly, the man he respected a lot also tricked him about the prophecy. It turned out that Blue was just the same as other werewolves. She was only the creation of the genius Professor Joseph Beischel.

Jack sighed before he looked back at Mike. "I will remain a loyal follower of you, Sir." That was the final decision of the loyal sycophant, Jack Madris.

Mike grinned at Jack's answer. "That's the right decision, Jack," he cheerfully complimented the young man. "Now, you can place Blue in the middle and add a chain to tie her neck, then tie the chain to a tree trunk. She will transform into a wolf soon, and to prevent her from running away, we have to tie her tightly." The man, who had the status of the leader of the werewolves, gave orders maliciously.

Jack looked hesitant when he asked, "But, isn't it enough to tie her hands and feet? The chains are so strong. I believe that she won't escape the strong bound."

Jack argued, but Mike shook his head in disapproval. "You have no idea how much power Professor Beischel put into Blue's body," he said while glancing at the professor.

There was still a hint of uncertainty on Jack's face, but he couldn't argue more. Finally, he walked toward Mike's hut to pick up a chain that was kept in that place. Not long after, Jack walked back to the location where they would witness Blue's transformation.

Jack pulled Blue into the middle of the large circle made by dozens of werewolves, then carefully began to attach a shackle to Blue's slender neck. Blue, with flowing tears, kept shaking his head at Jack, but the man didn't flinch and kept attaching the thing made of iron to her neck.

Afterward, Jack tied the end of the chain to the trunk of a large tree not far from where they were. Blue was now like a shackled dog.

Just a matter of minutes until the day officially changed. The werewolves waited with delight as if they had forgotten Mike's lie that made them upset before. Now, what was drawn on their faces was merely a felicitous expression.

Mike and Joseph plastered ecstatic expressions on their faces as well. They had waited seventeen years for this day, and the joy in their hearts was hard to describe. The mega project BLUE10122021, which was ruined because Blue disappeared that day, was about to reach the final stage.

Perhaps, the only unhappy person in that place was Blue alone. The girl continued to cry bitterly while lamenting her fate. Soon, she would turn into a monster. Soon, she would be the same as the werewolves that she hated. What would she do after this?

The stroke of destiny was like writing made in permanent ink. No matter how hard you tried to erase it, it couldn't be erased. No matter how hard Blue tried to change her destiny, it was now starting to come to her.

Her blue eyes started to give off a dazzling light, and a mysterious blue aura started to emit from the beautiful beads. The aura was extremely powerful, much stronger than what had appeared several times before.

The aura started to enter Blue's body, and she did not try to resist because resistance would only make her defeated by the aura. She received the aura, trying to calm down so she could control the blue hue.

Blue's small body emitted a blue light that was so bright and strong. It was so strong that the spectators in that place reflexively took a few steps back while closing their eyes. Even the children started crying as they were overwhelmed by the powerful aura.

Blue looked even more menacing as her fingernails gradually turned long and sharp. Her canines also experienced the same change. It looked like the complete transformation was coming soon.

Mike and Joseph beamed with anticipation at the process. The power that was long dormant in the blue-eyed girl finally active, and now they only needed to wait until Blue changed into a wolf with white fur and blue eyes.

"After Blue turns into a wolf, I can extract the formula from her body, then inject the extracted formula into the bodies of other werewolves. The injection will cause the werewolves to evolve. They will become stronger and immortal. That's the essence of the BLUE10122021 mega project," Joseph spoke proudly while observing the process. "The main point of the project is to have Blue become the host of the formula to develop until the formula is ready to use."

The process continued. Blue's blue eyes were still glowing, the blue aura was still gleaming. But, in a blink of an eye, the aura suddenly dimmed, leaving only a thin blue aura around her body. Only her blue eyes were still burning brightly. Her fingernails and fangs had also returned to their original size and shape. That was the end of the whole series of processes.

The witnesses in the place were bewildered. The result of the sequence of processes should have been Blue turning into a white wolf, but why didn't that happen?

Mike frantically looked at Joseph and asked, "What happened, Professor? Why didn't Blue turn into a wolf in white fur?"

Joseph was still frozen as he continued to stare at Blue, who was also staring at him with an indifferent gaze. The girl seemed to feel triumphant now that things ended up not meeting those bad guys' expectations.

"Pseudowolf. It must be Selena's doings," Joseph uttered weakly. His voice resembled a hiss, his face looked very angry, and his left hand, which was not holding the stick, clenched tightly.

Unbeknown to them, at the same time but in a different place, a young man turned into a white wolf with blue eyes.
