Rage was cursing for him, everyone made its way to flee his path, even his second in command had hidden after telling him the news, Rufus hadn't been able to control himself and had punched him in the face.
A howl escaped from his mouth, relieving all the anger, Patricia had fled, Schirouca had escaped and on top of all, he had Morgaine on his tale bickering about the team of vampires that had been destroyed.Flavius was nowhere to be seen and everything was resting upon him, they had overconfidence they had underestimated Zulcan's pack and the harm had been done. With the rage of this realization, he trashed his tent, right in time to see Flavius entering, "Where have you been? We are being crashed here! I have two wolves missing, weaponry destroyed and Morgaine has a team of scouts ambushed the other night! And you've been playing hide and seek with the Queen and the Prince!"Flavius looked at the enraged man, with an arched brow, making the werewoThe night was calm and the full moon high in the sky, but every single creature in the forest hid in fear of being found by the biggest predators that roam the forest. Its footfalls made no sound as its wicked claws patiently coiled waiting for the best moment to attack and sink its sharp fangs into some flesh and tear it apart. Multiple eyes shone in the forest as they searched for the thrill of catching prey.This specific forest was surrounded by a high wall, so no creature could come or go while the big iron and silver gate was closed. Just in case, outside guarding it were two soldiers making sure nothing would leave. They trembled in fear when the howls came but didn't dare move a muscle to leave their post, because that would be treason and the sentence would be death. Worse still if they were to leave and something would escape the forest they would be held accountable. They couldn't live with themselves knowing they caused a massive slaughter, so they s
Even if Morgaine insisted that Edwin take some soldiers, the two thousand year-old general decided to leave alone. He picked up some supplies and left before the sun went down.When the sun touched his white skin he remembered to check if he was taking everything he needed. The blood-red cloak that covered his body hid what his hands touched under his clothing. When the verification movements had finished he had already crossed the frozen forest and reached the Emerald River. The point where the frozen sun, the great legacy of Vladimir ended. As he dismounted at the river Edwin remembered his father, who had sacrificed himself so that the vampires would no longer suffer from the presence of the werewolves.The icy sun was built beneath the earth with Vladimir's blood. A spell, cast by a merchant. Every werewolf who stepped on this earth would instantly be killed. Not to mention that the abilities of vampires under its light wer
Alexa spoke without thinking, but as soon as the words came out of her mouth a conviction seized her. She knew she could not let anyone else run the risk of accompanying a vampire. She did not know if any member of her pack would have enough willpower to not attack the vampire. It was also not known how long this journey would take. If caught out under a full moon, none of the others could maintain human form, especially with a vampire at their side.Edwin looked at her, disbelieving as if he thought the woman in front of him would not be up to the challenge. He thought she was crazy to leave her kingdom without a queen and go on a journey with no end. His lips formed a thin line as he tried to unravel what was in Alexa's head.He looked away, with a smug smile, "Your Highness, not to disrespect you, but have you lost your mind? Will you leave your kingdom without a leader? Not that I have anything to do with it, but it sounds too risky!"
Alexa set out with him on the journey to find out what was going on, which was an idea that he didn't like very much.Since she was a woman, and Zulcan's queen, he thought it would be wiser to send a warrior werewolf to that.His arguments were not good enough to convince her.They decided to keep it a secret, for the time being, their union could cause even greater rebellion, than the one that seemed to be happening.He stopped near a stream and sat under a tree to rest, although he was a creature that could stand for days without sleep and rest, unfortunately, he had spent a lot of time in the place where the heat emanated in the kingdom of Zulcan had affected him in a very negative way.He bent down and wet his fingers in the water. He had made the same route, not long ago and the temperature change had already made drastic changes. The water that had to be chilled almost to the point of frozen was already only fresh.
Alexa climbed on her dark horse, along with her travelclothes the only colorful thing in that scenario was her blond white hair in a braid and the silver pommel of her sword. By the corner of her eye, she could see Charles and with her sight of a werewolf, she could tell the disapproval on his crossed arms in front of his chest, the line that his lips made, and a wrinkle on his forehead. She didn't want any goodbyes so they wouldn't alarm the villagers or the rest of the kingdom. As soon as she crossed the gates into the open road she motioned her horse into a gallop until her castle was nothing more than a blurry point in the horizon behind her she let the horse calm down to a quick pass without anyone to talk to during her travel Jax became an excellent confidant.Her thoughts were a mess about the decision that she had made, she still had doubts if it was the right one never before in all the history of the kingdom a move like the one she had made were ever attem
Edwin felt nothing as he passed the Barrier. He had a very strong body and over time learned to control the pain he felt when he crossed the border. And it seemed, from what he had seen last week, more vampires had learned to create this force and were crossing the border to kill humans. He was not sure yet if Morgaine was consenting to all that, but at no time did she denied her involvement. It worried him because she was the only person he could trust after his father's death.He approached Alexa, looked at the horse she was bringing, and then into the woods behind her, "Where should we go?" She asked.Edwin stared at her intently and his attention flew to the tips of her right hand that were in a purplish tone, "did you try to cross the Border?" He asked, pointing behind his back, where he had come from.She became visibly bewildered and hid her hand behind her back, which meant a great weakness in front of him, "even though this is my part of the
There was no better feeling than freedom, as she galloped with Jax, even though she had a vampire, over her head, leaping from tree to tree. As she had feared, he had spent the brief moment when they were talking insulting her, or at least trying, nothing very serious, but her inner wolf did not like it very much, she knew that if the offenses climbed, she might not be able to control the wolf but she also didn't feel comfortable with Edwin, to give him the volume she carried with her, wrapped in a leather and velvet bag, trying as much as possible to keep it away from her skin.The night gave way to the day and although Alexa did not want to give the weak part to Edwin, Jax was beginning to show signs of fatigue and would be reckless to continue pulling him, so she stopped the horse and waited for Edwin to realize that she needed to stop, a thing he made, just a few trees ahead, going back over the land he had a smug smile on his face when he said, "So, Queen,
Edwin stared into nothingness, thinking of his life and his kingdom, "living in Elatre is normal!"Alexa stared at him, she had given him too much detail. She knew she was more exposed than he was, though everything that had been said would not affect her at all."Well, it must not be like Zulcan, so I do not know what's normal for you."Edwin rolled his eyes, he didn't want to tell what it was like to live there, because that would make him remember his dark past, "I also ran with the children of the kingdom while I was younger and without responsibility," he began, his lack of detail irritating Alexa, "but despite everything, everyone there was antisocial, even the children.""Do you have any kind of transformation?" Alexa's curiosity about him was funny, he thought everyone knew how vampires lived."I only survive if I take a jug of blood a day at a minimum" he went on. "Well, that's since I've known myself, so I should not have a
