"He is my father" she lied smoothly.Eros bit back his laughter when he heard her. 'Thomas would be horrified to find out that he now has a daughter ' he thought with mirth. Thomas is not mated yet. He dedicated his life only to serving Eros till now. He is loyal to Eros.Morris looked at Iris with a narrowed gaze filled with distrust."What? He is a werewolf and you are a human. How can you be his daughter? Are you lying to us human?" he asked Iris sceptically.Iris already expected this question. Initially, she doubted that they might be dangerous, but the longer she is in their presence, the more unsettled she is feeling. "Why will I even lie to you? I don't know who you are and why you are kidnapping my father. We are not rich to give money to you. You look like you have a lot of money of your own. You might not need anything from peasants like us. So why do I have to lie to you about my father?" She retorted confidently.She can see that they are not convinced. Nazar took a st
On the farm, near the northern borders, Eros, Iris, Dimitri and the Were warriors are silently looking at an unconscious Thomas. Each of them has the same thing going on in their heads. That is their enemy, the Golem. All of them fainted when Morris released the Golem gas intended for Iris. But it did nothing to her but made everyone else unconscious. None of them knows what happened after Iris began to confront them. Thomas is rubbing his heavy head with a deep painful frown. As he was the closest to Morris, he inhaled more gas and is just waking up from his induced sleep. "Ah, my head" he groaned with pain, as he slowly began to come out of the effects of the Golem gas. Eros looked at him with pity. He knows how much once headaches after they inhale too much Golem gas. He had experienced that and overcame from its effects, thanks to his stepmother Tasha. He began to get an inkling of doubt about what happened two years ago. 'Did she really murder my father?' he began to become
Iris is waiting for Morris near the same place where she met him. Her palms are sweaty and she is tensed. Eros explained who Morris is and to which race he belongs. She doesn't know much about the people of this world. But based on what she understood, they can be dangerous. Before knowing who Morris was, she was not this scared. But now, their mere thought makes her shiver with fear. Even though Eros wanted her to agree to go out with Morris, he was not at all willing to let her go when the time came for her to come here. She doesn't want to come either. But the lives of hundreds of Were warriors are hanging in the air. So she pretended as if she is completely fine with the idea of going on a date with a Golem man. One thing that is giving her a little solace is a fact that she is not affected by the Golem gas. She doesn't know why that is, but she is grateful nonetheless. "Hey" she is so lost in her head that she didn't notice Morris until the moment he came and stood right in fro
The night passed by uneventfully for some and a few had to go out of their comfort zone for something good. The next morning, in a huge cave-like structure that is hidden from everyone, Ojas, the leader of the Golem race is searching for his brother Morris. He searched the entire cave, but there is no sign of Morris anywhere. He saw Nazar coming out of his room while yawning. His face looks sleepy as if he just woke up. "Nazar, where is Morris?" Ojas asked. Nazar is shocked to hear that Morris didn't return yet. "What? He is not in the cave? Didn't he come back last night?" he muttered to himself with a frown. Then a thought crossed his mind. "Oh my, did he get lucky on the first date? Why is he always lucky with women? Why did i threaten that hot human? If i didn't, then i could have asked her out. i am an idiot" he scolded himself and became jealous of Morris. Ojas became impatient when Nazar began to talk to himself without replying to his question. "Nazar" he snapped angril
"Are you sure they are going to come for him?" Iris asked Eros sceptically. They are looking at morris, who is tied to a chair and is unconscious. Dimitri and the other warriors are securely covering their noses so that they would not be affected by the Golem gas. As Eros and Iris are not affected by the gas, they didn't bother to cover up their faces like the rest. The camp is silent, and everyone is tense. They know they are going to face the Golem soon. They don't know how many people are going to come for morris. They are only 14 men and Iris. They are uncertain about the odds. But they know something huge is going to happen today and they are going to witness something that is going to change everything for everyone. "They will" Eros said confidently. He read more than a few things about the Golem race that night. He learned that the Golem are very loyal to their people and never abandon one of their own if he is in trouble. No one knows what position Morris holds in their g
Eros walked out of the camp with long angry strides. He stopped when he couldn't hold back his anger and when his instinct demanded him to turn around and punch Morris for trash-talking against Diandra."Why did you stop me, Iris? He was accusing my stepmother without knowing how kind she is. These Golem are beginning to irritate me" he said angrily.Iris stepped closer to him and turned him so that he is facing her. "Eros, I can understand your anger. I would have reacted the same way if someone said something nasty about someone I love. He is not important here. We are here to find out where our warriors are and to end whatever this is all together. Killing or hurting him would only complicate things further. That's why I stopped you. I know you are angry about everything that is happening for the past couple of weeks. But we cannot escalate things just because of something he said to make you mad. You are here as the king of the Were kingdom, not as the stepson of the Royal mother
"Hello, old friend" Ojas greeted Eros, who is teasing Iris. Both Iris and Eros snapped their heads in the direction of Ojas. Iris frowned looking at the stranger. Eros on the other hand has mixed feelings regarding Ojas. They lost touch over the last few years. They once used to be close friends, but now they became strangers. "Friend? Is that why you kidnapped hundreds of my warriors?" Eros asked sarcastically. Iris understood that they need to clear things between them. She can see that the leader of the Golem came alone and he doesn't hold any ill intentions to hurt Eros or any of the Were warriors. So she silently slipped away, leaving them alone. Ojas smiled sadly. "I never wanted to do that. But you left me with no other choice. I am all but begged your guards to let me in so that I could talk to you. But you refused my request every single time. I had to do something to help my aunt. I cannot let her suffer for something which she didn't do" he explained. Eros gritted
After what Ojas claimed about Dorothea, Eros became furious. He wanted to make Ojas see for himself about how kind his stepmother is. So he agreed to what Ojas proposed. Now the Golem leader would stay inside the Palace for one month. If he couldn't find anything against the royal mother which proves that she is involved with her brother Waldo, then he will be hanged to his death. Ojas released all the Were warriors whom he held hostage. Eros let go of Morris as well. After making sure that he will not face any trouble from the Golem, the camp in the northern borders is again filled with the Were warriors, who are stationed there to protect the borders from intruders. "Your highness, do you need me to send a message to the Palace about your safe return from the northern borders?" Dimitri asked respectfully. After everything he witnessed and heard here, he began to suspect about the people inside the Palace. Especially about Waldo. Eros rarely witnessed Waldo interacting with peopl
