Joel Serge and the other guards became more curious about the girl.
There was a glint in Tobias' eyes as he commanded, "Go and investigate the girl who was survived from the attack." Through all the clues he had, he suspected that the person who survived the attack could be the same person who stole his robe.He fixed Joel with a steely gaze. "I have my suspicions, and I want you investigate it. If she is innocent, then she has nothing to fear. But if she is guilty, then she must be held accountable for her actions."Joel nodded, sensing the gravity of the situation. "As you wish, My King. I'll send my best guards to search for her and gather any information they can."Tobias leaned back, his mind racing with possibilities. He knew that this girl was hiding something, and he was determined to find out what it was.As they were about to walk away, Tobias called out to them. "Be careful, Joel. There are forces at work here that we don't fully understand. And she may be more dangerous than she appears."Joel said, “My King, I just checked that the Alpha of Dark Valley Pack didn’t just seem the way he was. In the end, it wasn't the silver sword that killed him, but because of his broken spine.”Tobias narrowed his eyes in bewilderment as he heard the report. "Are you sure about this?"The death of the Alpha of Dark Valley Pack was not caused by being stabbed with a silver sword, which was a common way to kill a werewolf. Instead, his spine was broken, which suggested that someone used a different method to kill a lycan. It could imply that the Alpha might not be a werewolf but a lycan.This information was significant because it implied that the Alpha's death may not have been a straightforward attack by merely another lycan, but rather a deliberate and calculated murder.Tobias had heard stories about the Dark Valley Pack's legendary Alpha, who was said to be a formidable opponent. Hardly no other pack's Alpha ever dared to take him on. Knowing that the Savage Fury Pack was involved in Alpha's death piqued his curiosity, leading him to speculate that someone had sought the Alpha's death. It caused him to wonder: who was that fellow, exactly?He suddenly realized something and said, “It seems that fellow hid something fishy here and the young girl could be a very important person considering her extraordinary skills. Joel, have you found out about the girl?”Joel replied, “I checked, but I didn't find anything about her. There were many she-wolves in the pack, but no one had seen the girl who seems…”They had no further leads at that point. After a moment of silence and consideration, Joel and the other guards turned to their king."Interesting! It's really impressive for such a young girl to have that kind of ability!”The dark eyes of the Lord lit up with a gleam of amusement. As he elegantly twiddled his fingers, he said, “Let's just call it a day. You don't need to look into anything anymore.” He wanted to play games with the girl who had stolen his robes because he rarely met somebody so interesting recently…***The death of the Alpha of Dark Valley Pack and his pack members had led to widespread unrest.The Royal Court, the Intelligence Bureau, and the Department of Justice were preoccupied with investigating the massacre, but there were some who were secretly celebrating the events.A few days later, the night was very quiet in the king’s palace. The moon shone brightly in the sky, casting a silver glow over the palace grounds. The guards patrolled the area, their footsteps echoing softly in the stillness of the night. Inside the palace, the halls were empty and quiet, as most of the residents were asleep.Tobias, the lycan king, sat in his chambers, surrounded by maps and documents. He had been working tirelessly, trying to piece together the clues of the recent attacks on the werewolf and lycan packs. As he studied the papers in front of him, he couldn't shake the feeling that there was something important that he was missing.The silence was only broken by the sound of rustling papers and the scratching of his quill as he made notes. He worked late into the night, his eyes fixed on the documents before him.A sudden gust of wind entered the chamber, catching Tobias' attention. He turned his head towards the source of the noise and was startled to find a dagger lodged in one of the pillars. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that there was a letter placed underneath it.As Tobias held the dagger and the letter, he walked towards the nearby candle to read the message. When he read the letter, his face changed from curious to grim. His face became gloomy, and his eyes flashed with anger and concern.Tobias slammed his fist onto the table with a loud thud as he finished reading the letter. The force of his punch was so strong that the table shattered into pieces beneath his hand. His expression was one of anger and frustration as he tried to process the information in the letter.“Guard! Summon Joel and Rowena to come here right now!”The guard immediately sprang into action, rushing to find them.Scarlett stood back, a wicked grin spreading across her face as she watched. She had deliberated over this, fully aware that her plans would bring about turmoil and destruction. She anticipated Tobias' wrath but was prepared to deal with it.As she listened to the commotion outside, she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She had waited for this moment for so long, and now it was finally here."How dare you, lycan king! You'll face consequences for the slaughter of my pack!"“There’s no way this can be tolerated!”Scarlett had given her best effort and now had no choice but to wait for the outcome.She glanced up at the crescent moon in the sky and realized it was almost midnight, prompting her to rest. Without a second thought, she vanished. Despite the tight security in the palace, she was able to sneak past the guards undetected. No one would even notice her.After Tobias summoned Joel and Rowena, they arrived in his chambers with haste. Joel had a look of concern on his face while Rowena seemed calm and collected. As they entered the room, Tobias stood up from his desk and gestured for them to approach. Joel quickly stepped forward and spoke first. "My King, did you summon us?" "What's the matter, My King?" Rowena asked later, bowing respectfully. Rowena Hayes was a striking figure in the room, with long dark hair cascading down her back and piercing blue eyes that seemed to hold a hint of mystery. She stood tall and confident, her posture exuding a sense of strength and authority. Despite the tension in the room, Rowena remained composed and unruffled, her expression betraying no hint of fear or concern. Tobias knew that he could rely on her to keep a level head and provide sound advice, even in the most trying of circumstances. Her presence brought a sense of calm to the room, and he was grateful for her unwavering loyalty and dedica
Scarlett felt her heart was pounding in her chest as she tried to think of a way to explain why she was there. She knew that if the man found out she was the thief who stole his robe, it could mean the end of her life. She forced herself to remain calm and cool-headed. Her mind raced as she tried to come up with a plausible explanation. She struggled to come up with a convincing lie, but her mind was blank. She took a deep breath before responding with as much confidence as she could muster. She spoke in a measured tone, trying to sound confident, "My name is Scarlett and I’m just a traveler passing through. I stumbled upon this place by accident and got lost. I was hoping to find someone who could help me find my way back." The man's grip tightened, and Scarlett could feel her heart racing. She knew that he didn't believe her, but she held his gaze, determined not to show any sign of fear. "You expect me to believe that?" the man scoffed. "I think you're lying. What were you reall
Scarlett had been tracking the lycan king for few days, close but never close enough. She was determined to seek justice for her family and now she had a chance to exact her revenge. Her anger and hatred fueled her as she tracked him through the dense forests and rugged terrain. She was relentless in her pursuit, driven by the memory of her family and the desire for revenge. However, as she closed in on Tobias, she realized that the task before her was not as simple as she had thought. Tobias was surrounded by a loyal group of followers, all of whom were fiercely protective of their king. She knew that taking him down would not be easy, especially since she had never seen his true human appearance before. When she was dragged away in his chamber, Scarlett realized that her chances of exacting her revenge were slipping away. She was filled with a sense of hopelessness and despair, knowing that she was now at the mercy of the lycan king. Despite her fear, Scarlett refused to give up.
As Tobias leaned in closer to Scarlett, his eyes held a penetrating gaze that seemed to see right through her. Though he had let go of her hand, his presence was still palpable, and she could feel his warm breath on her skin. The overpowering scent of his fragrance filled her senses, and despite trying to maintain her composure, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and frustration boiling inside her. His close proximity made her feel vulnerable and exposed, and she began to feel trapped under his gaze."Little traveler, there is something else that you need to know. Before I caught you, I just received a message, a warning from an intruder who has infiltrated my palace. This intruder sent me a note, along with a dagger, as a sign of their threat."Scarlett tried to keep her expression neutral, not wanting to reveal her true intentions for seeking revenge. She knew that if Tobias discovered her true motives, he would never let her go."What does this have to do with me?" she ask
Scarlett knew that she couldn't afford to be swayed by his charms. She had a mission to complete, and she wouldn't let anything or anyone stand in her way. With a steely resolve, she stood tall and faced him head-on, determined to uncover the truth about her pack's massacre, no matter the cost. Her gaze was laced with bitterness and her fists were clenched tightly. She was growing increasingly frustrated with his insinuations and attempts to seduce her. "I have no interest in your idea of 'fun'," she spat out, her eyes flashing with anger. "I just want to leave." Her words were sharp and firm, conveying her determination to not let her guard down around him. His face darkened. "You're in no position to make demands, little traveler. You're in my palace, and you'll do as I say." Her hand tightened around the hilt of her dagger, ready to defend herself if necessary. "I won't be intimidated by you, Tobias." As Tobias took another step closer to her, his eyes flashed with anger. "You
Tobias paced back and forth in his main chamber, his mind racing with thoughts and plans, his eyes flickering with uncertainty and suspicion. He knew that he couldn't keep Scarlett confined forever, but he also couldn't risk letting her go until he was sure of her intentions. A few moments earlier, he knew that the intruder who had sent him the message was still lurking in the palace, and he was determined to catch them. He had stationed guards at every entrance and exit, and was monitoring the palace closely. The intruder must have had no time to escape, and he was determined to catch them before they could cause any more trouble. He ordered his guards to be on high alert and scoured the palace from top to bottom, searching for any sign of the intruder. But as the hours passed, it seemed as though the intruder had vanished without a trace. Tobias couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in the pit of his stomach. He knew that whoever had infiltrated his palace was not
Joel nodded thoughtfully as he asked, "I understand. What do you want us to do, My king?" "I need you to investigate this intruder and find out what her intentions are. Find out everything you can about her!" Tobias said firmly. "I need to know more about how she managed to get past our security measures. I also need your help in figuring out who she is, what she wants, why she's here, and if there are any others involved. I cannot let her roam free in my palace, especially with all the recent incidents that have been happening. I want to put an end to this before it becomes a bigger problem." Joel furrowed his brow, a hint of concern in his voice. "What about the intruder? What should we do with her in the meantime?" Rowena spoke up, her voice calm and measured. "My king, may I suggest we question the prisoner directly? We may be able to gather valuable information from her if we approach her correctly." Tobias pondered for a brief moment before answering, "I've confined her to th
One night as Tobias stepped into the chamber, he found Scarlett stood defiantly in front of him. Tobias crossed the room, standing in front of her. He couldn't help but admire her courage and determination. "Good evening, Scarlett," he said in a smooth voice, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I hope you're finding your accommodations to your liking?" Her eyes narrowed as she faced him. "What do you want?" she asked, her voice cold and unyielding. "I've come to question you," Tobias replied, taking a step closer to her. "You see, I still have no idea why you were sneaking around my palace. I want to know why you came here," he said, his voice soft and dangerous. Scarlett remained silent, eyeing him warily. She met his gaze and didn't waver, her heart raced with fear and anger. She knew that she had to get out of there, no matter what it took. Tobias smirked. "But maybe we can find some... common ground. Perhaps there's something I can offer you in exchange for the truth?" She bri
