Louisa's POV
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I'm afraid I have other engagements tonight. Doctor Jafar and I have to take His Highness Zabel to the Moonlight Cave. The salt in the cave is considered to be helpful for His Excellency's condition." Lucian stood in front of Zackery and said. "Moonlight Cave? I have never been there before. Can I tag along?" Zackery said. Jafar frowned and said, "Your Excellency, it's getting late and we'll have to spend the whole night in the cave for His Excellency's treatment." "A whole night camp out beside the bonfire? I'm in. Let's go." Zackery looked quite excited. Lucian looked reluctant and said, "Your Excellency, it's a dark cave with sulfide. We can't set up any bonfire inside." "OK, so no bonfire. I'm OK with that. Do you want to go, little girl?" Zackery looked at me and asked. "I've heard it's a beautiful cave with thousands of stalactite and crystals. We can go inside and explore while Zabel'Louisa's POV Akela's tent was in the western part of the camp, which was close to the mountainside. A stream was flowing down the mountain, through the aqueduct, and into the camp. All the bushes of plants around the tent were maintained neatly, but only a small bush of sedge adjacent to the back of the tent looked a bit messy. As soon as I walked into Akela's tent, I smelled something salty and fishy. It reminded me of the fish market that I had been to. "Did you smell it?" I asked Zackery. "Yes, and it's like a shark rotting inside of a puddle of water," Zackery said. "Soldiers, open the window right now. I can't stand the stench of this place." "Wait!" I stopped the soldiers and said to Zackery, "Let me take a look at the window first." Zackery walked towards the back window of the tent with me staying in his arms. The window was completely shut, but I noticed that it had been tampered with because there was a piece of clot
Louisa's POV As soon as the soldiers poured the hot oil into the well, I heard screaming and screeching coming from it. Then, I heard the splashing sound of things getting into the water. When the sound disappeared, I quickly ran to the other side of the canal. Just when I arrived there, I saw two dark shadows shooting out of the darkness in the water. "We caught them!" the soldiers shouted. "Cover them with sacks! Now!" I raised my voice. Several soldiers jumped at the two creatures and covered their heads with sacks. As we walked closer, I saw their hairy legs kicking in the webs. "Ahhhh! I can't see anything!" "Shut up, dickhead! You're stepping on my feet!" "We are trapped in the webs and me stepping on your feet is the only concern on your mind?!" "Let's kick the webs and get out of here!" "Strap their legs! They try to break the webs!" I told the soldiers. They used ropes to tie
Louisa's POV "Are you going to touch my brother?" The tuna head winked his giant eyes and stared at me. "Are you sure? He's pretty slimy. Your hands and dress will be dirty," he added. OK. So he's the one who's having priority issues. I thought to myself. "Your brother's life is on a thread. You don't have to worry about my dress and hands getting dirty. Come on, he's too big. I can't move him by myself. I need your help," I said and pulled his brother's arm. The tuna head looked at me as if he was about to cry. Then, he moved right in front of me and gave his brother a push. The tuna head's brother rolled over and started to cough violently. I patted his slimy scaled back, trying to help him to cough it out. After another episode of coughing, he finally spat out some pus-like sticky fluid on the ground. Something was shining in the fluid. I picked it up and saw it was a diamond ring, which I saw Akela wearing earlier t
Louisa's POV "What did you just say?!" I was shocked. "On our way to this place, we heard some traveling druids talking about their plans to kidnap a man called Alpha Lucas from the White Walkers." "They broke a street lamp and tied up some rope on a road. Then, they were hiding in the dark and waiting for his arrival." "But halfway into the operation, they suddenly called it off." "We didn't know why, but we heard that they wanted to kidnap Beta Lucian's wife and brother." "Are you sure about what you've heard?!" I asked. "People can't hear us, but we've got good ears." Both of them shrugged and said. Lucian seemed to notice something wrong must have happened according to my facial expressions. He asked, "Miss Louisa, what did they say?" "Lucian, where is Gianna right now?" I asked. "She's on the way to our camp with Leo," he said. "You need to call Gianna right now. They said that those traveling
Louisa's POV "Don't say that to yourself. You aren't stupid. The real stupid people are those who try to bully others for a living," I said. Mana looked at me with sadness and said, "I don't think they're stupid. They're living a very good life. They've got everything. Those traveling druids live like Kings on islands in Agier Sea." "Nobody will live a good life by making others' lives miserable. In their consciousness, they know they aren't doing the right thing and they will be punished for what they've done to others," I said. "Well, Miss. I agree with you," Mana swallowed his saliva and said. "But the thing is, not everyone has consciousness as you do. Those traveling druids are mad right now. They have been mad ever since we were driven away from the mainland." Mata heard our conversation and said, "Thousands of years have passed. Some of us have already started to evolve, to move on with our lives. But some of them just refuse to let it go.
Louisa's POV "Yeah. You didn't know about it?" Mana asked. He looked very confused. "No! I know nothing about it!" I said emotionally. "Well... You've lost me..." Mata asked. He looked twice as confused as his brother. "Do you know that you can talk to animals?" "Yes! I've already known that," I replied. "Do you know that werewolves can't communicate with animals?" Mana asked. "Yes, of course, I know that!" I said. "And you don't feel anything suspicious about being able to talk to animals?" Mata asked. "No! I mean... Yes! But..." I couldn't even articulate my thoughts properly. "Well, You've lost me as well..." Mana declared. "But I'm a werewolf!" My eyes were wide open. "I don't have magic power!" Both Mana and Mata covered their heads and said, "OK, OK! Maybe we're wrong. Please don't be angry at us! We're just two stupid tuna heads..." Who am I? I thought to myself. In despair, I looked a
Louisa's POV "Where's their camp?" Lucian frowned. "Take us to their camp." The rogues looked reluctant. "Sir... Are you sure you want to go there? It's very bad luck to see dead druids..." "Take us to the camp, or I'll rip off your arms and feed them to my friends here," Lucian said and pointed at Mata. Mata looked very confused and looked at me for help. "We're vegetarians, for your information. We get lactose intolerant when we eat meat products..." he said. "Show them your badass look now, Dickhead!" Mana shouted at him. "Do I really have to...?" "Do it now! Dickhead!" Mata sighed. Then, he opened his giant mouth and snarled. He had got a tentacle-like tongue and the inside of his mouth was covered by hundreds of spike-like teeth. "Ahhhhh!" Some of the rogues passed out whereas others literally pissed themselves. Mata closed his mouth and looked up at Lucian, who frowned at him. He covere
Louisa's POV The melancholy and tenderness in his eyes made him irresistible. No woman on earth could stay angry at a man for long with that kind of look in his eyes. "You want to toast me in a moat?" Lucian drew himself closer to her and asked. "Well, if you don't come closer, you won't get burnt," Gianna whispered while entangling her fingers in Lucian's hair. "That's not possible," he whispered. Then, he pressed his lips against Gianna's mouth. Gianna moaned quietly and knocked her hands softly on Lucian's back. Then, she ran her hand gently into his hair and held his head. The way they held each other was like a missing piece of a puzzle was finally placed back into its position. Every curve of their faces and bodies was glued seamlessly together. They became one. Nothing seemed to be able to penetrate between them. Then, Lucian looked down at Gianna's stomach. "He kicked me," Lucian said with s
