ELVA'S POVI had neither been able to communicate with Ruya nor shift since I got hit by the dark werewolf. It felt like he had suddenly disappeared.Three days after Lu had finally decided to come out, Mother called the two of us for a meeting in the throne room.The dark werewolf had captured Selena when he came, and no one knew why. No one knew who the dark werewolf was or the reason why he had killed Father and taken Selena with him.I pushed the door open and walked in. The throne room was vacant. But Mum and Lucius joined soon and then the door was sealed off."You two must be wondering why I called you together today," Mum said."A meeting at a time like this isn't out of the ordinary," Lu answered Mum, "it is one of the things that are meant to happen.""I guess you might be right," she said. "However, if you're thinking that I called you here today for us to find a way to have revenge on the enemy who killed your father, then you're totally wrong."Mum could sense the taste f
ELVA'S POV"I'm the one who has a problem with you standing there to address us," one of the servants raised her hand and spoke.I gazed at her with a bit of surprise in my eyes. It wasn't like I hadn't expected that such would happen after they had all witnessed me being banished from the kingdom. But I wasn't in the mood to entertain any revolution."What problem do you have with me standing here to address you people?" I asked her.She was snappy."You were banished from the kingdom. So, it's only natural that you have no right to call us together, let alone, give us orders," she said. The other began to murmur at this and I quickly cautioned her."Don't say that when you don't know what goes on in the palace," I said to her."We all know. The queen only brought you back because the king was bedridden," she said, "if he was in good health back then, he wouldn't even let you cross the gates of our kingdom. You're not the first to be banished from this kingdom. We've seen other peopl
ELVA'S POVThe announcement horn was blown and it reached the castle all the way from the entrance gate as usual. The Alpha King had arrived.I slid into my shoes. I had been waiting eagerly for his arrival. I bathed early in the morning when the crickets were still whistling, and wore my dress. And I had been seated in the room since that time till daybreak.I didn't rush to the mirror for a final check before heading out. And even when my stomach growled, I didn't think of going to have breakfast because it was already too late.I briskly moved on, descending the staircase with quick light steps.Once I got to the front of the castle, I met with the soldiers there who were waiting for me. Mum and the chief of warriors were already there, standing side by side. Lu was coming out of his room at the same time as me.Soon, everyone who was needed there assembled and then we waited for the guards who were escorting the Alpha King to the castle.The distance from inside the kingdom to the
ELVA'S POV "What you did last night is unforgivable, but I'll pardon you," I said to the Alpha King in the morning as I came to his room to wake him up. "Our mission is more important than anything now, so I'll let it slide for now." I still couldn't believe that he had the audacity to attempt sleeping with me. "Yes. Our mission is more important than any other thing now," he grumbled. He stood up from the bed, his tight white underwear revealing the length of his member which was I couldn't tell why it was looking excited that early morning. "I was only trying to know the level of relationship between you two," he said, "throughout our discussion yesterday, you never mentioned that you were in love with my brother." "That excuse is very lame," I said to him, turning my eyes away from him as he dressed up, "it was disrespectful of you to try to go into the same place your brother has gone. If you really wanted to know my relationship with him, you should have asked and I'd have
DARIAN'S POV I opened my eyes and the incoherent memories began to flash into my head. I started to remember everything from that day when I was just some meters away from the pack. I had wanted to visit my brother before I got attacked by a dark werewolf. I could remember how he easily gave me a blow that made me throw up and lose consciousness immediately. Where was I now? The last thing I remembered seeing back then was the dry leaves on the floor of the woods. Where was this place now? As my eyes opened, I began to register everything around me in my head. The ceiling, the wall, the door facing my foot, the color of the bedsheet I laid on. But the next thing I saw was someone bending over me. I sat up immediately and my head clashed with that person's head. "Ouch!" I heard a female groan. She bent down immediately and covered her face in pain. "Sorry," I quickly apologized on the realization that it was a lady. I tried to jump down the bed to help when I suddenly felt my
ELVA'S POV The North wind blew violently as we made our way to the West from the East. The apprentice priestess' magic orb had directed us to the West. But there was an encroaching storm in the West which was possibly triggered by the violent North wind. And usually during storms, there were raiders waiting for travelers on the way. Although we were many in number, we couldn't tell what lay ahead of us, so the Alpha King suggested we waited for the storm out before delving into the West. However, I lacked the patience to do that. "We are getting closer," reported the apprentice priestess, "a few more kilometers and we'll be where Princess Selena is." I turned to the Alpha King, "We need to keep moving. There's no big deal about the storm." "No. We're camping here!" He pointed to a cave side, "Our horses will be terrified to move under the storm. And if we get attacked by natives, it may not turn out well for us." "Are you that scared?" I asked, laughing as my voice vanished into
DARIAN'S POV The four ladies carried me from the room to a door which one of them opened and we walked into a steaming room. There was a tub which was filled with lathered water. I had been doing what Bulma advised me to do; observing them. And from what I had observed so far, they weren't werewolves but possessed strength that could rival a werewolf's. As for other physical feats, I was yet to see. "I like the way you easily understand your situation," one of them said to me, "To find calm and calculated men these days seems very difficult." "Do you also understand your own situation?" I asked her. "Yes," she answered, "if I don't bathe you and present you to the master in time, his anger will be upon me." I turned my face to the side with disappointment. It seemed they had no idea that they were dealing with an immortal. However, being mortal or immortal was no guarantee that I'd escape this hell of a place I'd found myself. "Please, get into the tub," one of them said to me
SELENA'S POV "Thanks for bringing him, devas," I said to the four women who had brought Darian into the castle. "You can leave now." "What did you call them?" Darian asked as he pushed past the ladies. The boldness he displayed even when he was at a point where he was meant to show fear was stomach upsetting. "They're devas, special female servants of my father," I said. "Your father? Are we in the Haelstrom kingdom?" He asked me, his eyes clearly spelling confusion. "Don't tell me you think that the Lycan king is my father," I said to him, "It should have been clear from the color of my hair that I wasn't his daughter." "Whoa! This is new to me," Darian said. "Uhm… So, you're saying your father has his own castle as well. Then, why have you been living in the Haelstrom kingdom?" "My father is a brother to the Lycan king and this is a forte he had been protecting for several years for the Haelstrom kingdom," I let him know. But I stopped when I remembered that he was still sta
