Chapter Thirty-Five – The Visitors.
King Gerard had heard an unexpected news. One that he should be excited about yet scared him. He was having werewolf visitors. Alpha to add.
He had plotted a war and had asked for reinforcement. But Chan had convinced him to give it up as something else was going on.
The Blue Moon were and had always been within the Dark Dynasty. But never initiated an attack, even when their Omega was accidentally killed.
Chan knew it wasn’t because they’re weak but perhaps because they have some bigger plan that could be fatal.
He was confused by the response. What bigger plan could the animals be thinking off? And why didn’t he realize that werewolves shared border with him for years?
“Chan, are our visitors still on the way?” he sprang up from his seat when he saw Chan coming in with his sister Anya.
She was wrapping her hands around his arm but he didn’t seem like he minded.
“I believe it’s Scott and the Alpha of Blue Moon pack. Perhaps with his Beta. Forbidden Forest Pack is in good terms with Blue Moon Pack so they’d be the first he contacts” Chan reported with a straight face.
King Gerard seethed, standing from his throne, “Call my ministers and general. Surround this courtroom with soldiers. They’d be intimidated”.
The visitors strolled into the courtroom minutes later. The room was filled with ministers and soldiers armed to the teeth.
Red smiled, “We share a border. Is this how you welcome a neighbor?”.
King Gerard wasn’t having it as he stepped down from his throne, taking out his sword from his sheath.
“Is this a direct attack or you’re hear for something else?”
Scott smirked, “You are still the same insecure no, aren’t you? You raided my forest and now point a sword at me!”.
Gerard came closer, “Insecure boy? Don’t forget my soldiers are around you”.
Walt mind linked to Reece with one word, “Intimidate”.
One of the tricks of the Blue Moon pack was that they can hide their eyes color and play innocent.
Red began radiating Alpha energy, making the soldiers unconsciously drop their swords and fall to the ground. He’s eye color was red but a human wouldn’t see it.
Gerard looked in confusion as his soldiers just bowed and dropped their sword. The ministers became uncomfortable in their seats.
“Stop whatever you’re doing!” Gerard ordered, referring to Scott who was staring intently at him. He knew his eyes were normal but still fidgeted.
“Whatever am I doing?” Scott feigned confusion as did Red. Beta Jackson snickered and turned to the Ministers flashing his orange eyes making them cower.
Gerard channeled his dark energy into his surroundings and realized that they was a force compelling his soldiers to bow.
Knowing fully well it was one of the two Alpha’s in his courtroom, he threw his sword towards them but Beta Jackson stopped his attack with a sword.
Chan rushed to the King’s side with his sword.
Scott walked to their middle, “Now you can see” pointing at the soldiers bowing, “Your soldiers can’t save you, and you both can’t defeat us three. Why don’t you just be a good boy and let’s have a little talk?”.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Gerard looked over at his soldiers, and then at his Ministers and then at Chan, “Fine. Talk” he dropped his sword its sheath. Same with Chan.
Reece let go of the soldiers, mind linking to Walt, “Thanks for offer. It was fun draining their energy”. Walt rolled his eyes.
And another trick of the Blue Moon Pack was that they could take energy from the Moon as well as life force especially humans, not fatal enough to kill but enough to strengthen themselves.
“We might need it if the King goes haywire anyway” Walt said back.
Gerard rushed to the general, who had been victim of the Alpha’s control. The General looked wickedly at Scott before walking away with the rest of his men.
The King exhaled to cool off before strolling back to his throne, “One of the reasons I hesitate raiding that forest is Han being there”.
Chan’s eyes at Scott, wondering his connection with Han. He remembered his earlier talk with Gerard and clenched his fists.
“Same, my wolf hesitates because Han said you’re a friend and he had a sworn brother here as well” Walt came to the surface as Scott referred to him.
Chan stepped forward, “Let Han and his sisters go. Don’t drag them into this mess”
“Drag them. I am trying to save them. Save the werewolves and save your people from this mess. Caused by your King, if you didn’t know” Scott turned to the ministers.
Gerard frowned. Was his ‘little talk’ staging his Ministers against him? Alpha Red seemed to have read Gerard’s thoughts.
“Did you ever what started this war? Yes, cause of a gem that is beloved to be with the werewolves and holds great power” Red started the well known history story.
Chan was unaware of details, as Han had been. His major aim for fighting was because he was obligated to and because, all he knew werewolves as, were manipulative and evil.
If there’s a gem to make one party more powerful than the other, wouldn’t that aggravate the war? And end up wiping away one party forever.
“I bring an option of peace. My omega and his wife were killed recently but I’d bear no grudge”.
“It was an accident” Chan interrupted looking downwards.
Red dismissed it, “It may have been but to avoid less accidents fueled by anger and hate towards one another I ask; let werewolves live in peace. Let go of the gem that traditionally belongs to us. Practice your dark magic without it hurting any of our kind”.
They were mumbling and chattering amongst the Ministers. Chan was contemplating himself. He can have his life back, without war and planning.
If the werewolves were going to let them be, then there was no need for the war. And the gem, whatever it could do, should be left alone.
He turned to the King and saw content in his eyes.
“Your highness, why don’t we…”
“Never. Never Chan will I listen to a werewolf” King Gerard interrupted Chan.
“Then listen to your people” Scott had heard them with his werewolf hearing, “They want the war to end. To travel around with no fear of a vengeful werewolf killing them. Same with us, we want peace” Scott declared.
Some Ministers nodded in understanding, while some subconsciously smiled at Scott.
Gerard narrowed his eyes at Scott. Walt felt his glare and his eyes glowed red ready for any attack.
