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
ELVA'S POV The closer we came to the location that the magic orb directed us, the more the place looked familiar to me. But I was very sure that I had never been to a place like that before. My wolf growled suddenly, "The memories of the late Lycan king are manifesting inside of you." "Father's memories?" I asked. "Yes. It seems he has been to a place like this before," Ruya said to me. My horse continued with the rest of the soldiers before I suddenly started to develop a headache. I was beginning to see a lot of the memories and the landscape was getting more and more familiar to me. My wolf noticed that I was getting sick and immediately called out to me, "Elva, tell someone to hold you!" My lips quaked as I tried to mutter Demian's name. His name was the first to come up in my mind. But before I could do that, my whole body went numb all of a sudden and I started to slide off the back of the horse. Luckily for me, Demian noticed me falling immediately and came to my rescu
ELVA'S POV We passed through the gate and headed into the kingdom. I was shocked when we walked beyond the gate and realized that there were people inside the gate; soldiers, precisely. As we walked in, eyes stared at us with utmost curiosity. Yet, none of them dared approached us. "Are these people normal?" Demian laughed. But what felt abnormal was the way we came into their kingdom without anybody's permission. "I think they're scared to approach us," I whispered, "maybe, they think we came for war." "If that's what they think, then they aren't quite far from the truth," he chuckled, "If their leader refuses to release my brother, then it's war." "You better keep yourself composed," I warned with a frown. "And you better get yourself disposed," he snickered, "everything about this place feels off." Suddenly, a man came up to us and Demian signaled our men to halt. As we stopped, the man drew closer to cover the gap between us. "Welcome to the Maelstrom kingdom," he said t
DARIAN'S POV "Elva… Demian… You guys came," I heard myself say. My heart melted at their presence and I could feel the hope for an escape. "I can tell the intent of a man by his heartbeat," Selena's father suddenly said. He stood up from his throne and headed toward Elva and Demian. "Welcome to my kingdom, princess of the Haelstrom kingdom," he said to Elva, "and you the juvenile Alpha king." "Thank you," Elva said. But it felt like she had forced those words out like a foreign object in her stomach. Suddenly, Elva's feet began to quake and her face squeezed up. She fell to the floor immediately and Demian rushed to her. "Oh, it seems we've met before," Selena's father said to Elva. "What did you do to her?" Demian rushed at Selena's father to grab him by the collar. However, Selena's father slapped his hands off before they could reach him, and the next thing I saw was the arms getting ruptured. "Argh!" Demian screamed out in pain. "My hands... Argh!" I felt an impulse to
