His Regret, My Escape Chapter 74
Olympia and Xavier followed the senior Elder in front of them, with the Enclave guard contained on all sides by the Royal guard as they made their way to one of the private rooms available. "I'm terribly sorry for this outrageous intrusion, my Queen. He should have been stopped by the guards before he ever got this far..." The Senior Elder grumbled. He had briefly introduced himself as Bartholomew, one of the Senior Elders that oversaw the Enclave, before offering to escort them to a private room to receive whatever news it was that the man had brought. "It's not a problem, Bartholomew. If it is as important as I think it may be, then the sooner we hear what he has to say, the better."Bartholomew turned to look at her with an unreadable expression in his eyes, and she didn't miss the curious look that Xavier gave her either."Do you know what he's here for, my Queen?" Bartholomew asked as casually as possible, but there was a definite hint of suspicion in his tone.Olympia smiled

"The 12th Garrison?" Xavier asked, his expression one of deep thought, "How were you alerted to the convoy's demise?" "Generally we track the progress from the 11th garrison at the receiving end through the Ravine with spotters from our garrison. We hadn't heard from the spotters for longer than was normal, and had begun to mobilize a search party." Greyson explained calmly, "They were about to leave when a group of Aurochs, that we know are used for transport there, entered the bottom of the valley in a panicked state."Xavier nodded thoughtfully as Greyson explained, scrutinizing his face subtly and checking for any trace of dishonesty."As soon as the lookout at the Garrison reported it, we mobilized a force to intercept and conduct reconnaissance in the area. We knew that it meant nothing good as there was no trace of the guards or the convoy that they were supposed to be attached to, so support was requested from the 11th Garrison as well.""Did they call the wyverns in to help

The air positively hummed as her aura rippled through the room and the people dropped to their knees in front of her, including those that had done no wrong. Olympia felt a pang of guilt but did her best to brush it away. It was less than ideal, but if it was spoken of outside of this room, then it would be widely known that Olympia was no pushover, and would happily act before the Elders got a chance to do so.Perhaps Maeve was right and more direct action was necessary. Her father had been a weak ruler in later years and perhaps he had allowed them a little too much freedom in dictating how things were run.The Enclave was an ancient institution that protected the Kingdom from tyrant rulers.

Olympia and Xavier made their way back to their quarters under the escort of the Royal guards and once inside, Olympia gratefully closed the door behind her.It was glaringly obvious that they wouldn't be able to return to the palace anytime soon, so Xavier set about making arrangements to have some of their personal effects sent over whilst Olympia got herself changed out of the ceremonial attire and into something a little more comfortable.She wasn't sure that leggings and an oversized T-shirt were what constituted acceptable attire for a reigning Alpha Queen, but she was past caring at this point. She just wanted to be comfortable and free of distractions so that she could think clearly.She settled herself on the edge of the bed and sent a quick message to Mimi, requesting a few items of clothing that she knew she was lacking for official functions, diplomatic liaisons, and possibly for the meetings within the Enclave too.

The next morning with the haze of sleep still sitting over her, Olympia had briefly forgotten the events of the night before as she stretched languidly under the cloud-like duvet that enveloped her completely.As the reality of her situation intruded rudely on her blissfully unaware state, she groaned and threw the covers off, before carefully extracting herself from under Xavier's arm that had been lazily thrown across her stomach."Leaving me so soon?" Xavier murmured, his voice still thick with sleep."There's too much waiting for us, my Alpha." Olympia chuckled as his eyes opened wide suddenly and darkened as he gazed at her half-naked form perched on the edge of the bed."There's always time to squeeze in a little..." Xavier protested playfully as he lunged to catch hold of her and pull her back into the bed, but Olympia cut him off with a laugh."Little? Xavier, you know as well as I do that there's nothing little about you, or the time that we spend wrapped around each other."

Olympia frowned as she watched plate after plate of dishes being unloaded onto the table in front of them."I mean, at least we know you'll never be short of choice." Xavier chuckled.The seating arrangements were the same at the Royal Table as they had been the night before and Olympia found herself seated next to Bartholomew once more.She had already spotted Greyson and a few other faces she didn't recognize seated at one of the tables closest to theirs.

OLYMPIA'S POVI stood at the edge of the grand hall. My heart was beating, racing in anticipation. The air was electric with the collective longing of our pack. Twenty-one years of searching, twenty-one years of disappointment. Yet tonight, I could feel it in my bones: this would be the year I found him.The Mating Festival was ordained, a centuries-long practice—a holy ritual for our pack to collectively rejoice at the consummation of two spirits. The air held so much anticipation; pheromones hung heavy in the crowd. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, letting that animalistic energy course through me.My eyes met those of so many hopefuls in the room, each in search of his perfect match. Some were wriggling in anticipation and some had set their faces to imply expectation of winning—sureness in their eyes gleaming with a sense of entitlement.The drums echoed across the hall, signaling the commencement of the ceremony. There was silence in the room as all eyes turned toward the alp

Olympia's POVAs I looked up at him, my eyes, addled with intoxication, tried to keep up with his grandeur. He was a real behemoth, with chiseled cheekbones that could cut glass and arms that seemed sculpted by the gods themselves. His athletic frame radiated power, and his smirk hinted at a thousand secrets. I was entranced; my tipsy brain couldn't pull away from this sight."Like what you see?" he goaded, his voice low and husky, as he did so, raking me back to reality. My mouth was open, an embarrassing epitome of utter shock. I whipped my face away, trying to regain some of my lost dignity, but he would not allow me to just walk off so easily.He held my chin with a firm but light touch, twisting my face back to his. Our eyes met, and in those few moments, I felt the room spin with me. "Who are you?" I said back, my voice cracking like a brittle autumn leaf.He leaned closer, the mysterious aura surrounding him, like a moth into flame. "Just a passerby guy witnessing a beautiful l

The hum of chatter faded as soon as the Steward announced their arrival and every person in attendance stood and turned to watch the newly instated royal couple with interest. Olympia took a deep breath to steady her nerves as unobtrusively as she could. She forced a demure smile on her face as she and Xavier made their way toward their seats and tried desperately to ignore the countless judgemental eyes now focused solely on her.The Royal Table sat at the far back of the room, elevated slightly above the others on a beautifully sculpted dais. Two ornate chairs, crafted in Silver and decorated expertly with reliefs of the Moon Goddess and her first children sculpted into the metalwork, sat central to the table, flanked on either side by additional chairs for the most senior of the Royal Enclave.As Olympia and Xavier passed the many faces of the wide array of dignitaries assembled in the banquet hall, they held their heads high as the surrounding shifters bowed their heads or bared

Olympia and Xavier stood side by side on the balcony, waving down to the crowds that had gathered below.The noise from the crowd was almost deafening. It almost seemed as though they were fighting with one another over whose voice could shout the loudest and reach the newly crowned Alpha Queen's ears first.Xavier chuckled softly."All this is for you, my Queen." He murmured as he took her hand and brought her fingers to his lips, kissing it gently.Olympia giggled lightly, her nerves getting the better of her as loud cheers echoed through the air."Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for their excitement and the more than warm welcome, but I've done nothing to prove myself to them yet." She replied with a worried smile."Is that really what you think?" Xavier murmured quietly, "Olympia, take a step back and think about it for a second. These past few months have thrown so much at you and the accusations and lies that were thrown in your direction put you under intense public scrutiny.

The ground beneath them seemed to erupt as vile, twisted creatures emerged as far as the eye could see, bringing with them a stench that was so overpowering that a multitude of hands flew upwards to cover their faces with the masks of their attire as they gagged violently.The rotting flesh of the gargantuan beast that seemed to detach itself from the mountainside rippled disgustingly as it lumbered towards them, vile fluids oozing from the open sores and dripping down onto the mass of creatures swarming below it.The entire convoy seemed to freeze momentarily in pure, unadulterated terror as the scene that looked as though it had been ripped straight from a horror movie unfolded before them.In seconds, the Enclave's guards sprung into action. Those that couldn't shift readied their weapons and offensive magic as the sound of breaking bones whilst the shifters changed filled the air. An eerie symphony rippled through the landscape, filled with the cacophony of grunts and otherworldl
