Julius and Shane enter the abandoned dungeon and close the thick barred gate from the inside. The two advance side by side until they reach the area where the cells used to be and look around looking for Lycaon. - You're looking in the wrong way – Lycaon says, making them both jump at the sudden sound. - Goddess, you scare me to death. – Shane says with his hand on his chest. - Pussy. – the older man says, making Julius laugh. – the entrance is this way. Come and memorize the path They enter a tunnel hidden by a rock wall, which obscured the entrance in such a way that anyone who didn't know it existed wouldn't find it. After 10 minutes of walking through a surprisingly wide and tall tunnel, two tall people walked easily side by side, they reached the door that led to the man's room. - the path is easy. Did you memorize it? - Yes. – Shane responds. - When can we leave? – Julius asks. - Calm down prince. It wasn't that long ago that you two separated. I need a few days to try t
- Julius, don't you trust your father? Julius looks at his father and his mind races. “How can I trust someone who hates the person I love the most in the world? How could I tell you that what makes me unhappy is being away from the man I love?” - Dad, of course I trust you. There is simply nothing to tell. The king sighs, lowers his head and looks thoughtful. His son didn't open up to him. When did things change between the two? Julius never had any secrets from him. At a very young age, he faced his father and the kingdom and came out as gay. He didn't even keep this secret from his father. As soon as he felt that this was his destiny, he shared it. What made Julius keep secrets from his father now? What important or serious thing had happened to Julius, that made him keep something to himself that was visibly killing him inside? Julius felt his heart tighten. Lying to his father hurt him, and he hated making his father feel sad, but he couldn't tell him that he had found his m
The sun had barely risen when Delilah got up, took a shower and got dressed to travel. She had just taken a packet of blood from the refrigerator and was enjoying drinking it when Lycaon woke up.- You are old my friend. Yesterday's activities made you sleep too much. – she says, laughing.- What time is it?- The sun has already risen. It must be around 6 hours.- You wake up early.- I have a mission, don't I? I want to get to the palace as quickly as possible, check everything you need to know and return. Will you wait here for me? – she asks seductively. – you still owe me some "somersaults" for the work you give me.He laughs.- Nympho. No, I have to go somewhere else, but I'll be back here soon after, to see what you find out.- Don't tell me you're going to look for that drunk? – she says, rolling her eyes.- Do not be like that. Like us, he turned away from the world because of this damned war.- But he's a drunk.- And you're still in love with him as always. – Lycaon says, l
- Specifically, what did the vision tell you? - Someone very strange. That I was him, and he was me, for me to look for Airon, for him and for me, and that his soul was disappearing without Airon. - My old friend is right. You and Julius must be the reincarnations of Lysander and Airon. The war started for them. Who knows, maybe it will end for you. – She stops thinking, but then returns to paying attention to Romeo – look, I need to know which room you sleep in. - On the second floor of the palace, on the opposite side to this one. - Let's walk there - I need to see what the area you have in view is like. But before that, I need you to be aware of one thing. Don't act differently or appear to be waiting for Julius. I don't know if he'll be able to get there in days, weeks, months or years. Our life is very long. You have to live as you have lived until now, but be aware that, if he can, he will come to see you. We, the adults, will help you. When there is a problem, we will help y
- What are you looking for, aunt? - A way for Julius to get up here. The walls look like they can be climbed. They have ledges, but he's a werewolf, not a climber. Romeo looks at the walls, and doesn't know what to say. - In turn, you have trees not too far apart, but the tops are very low. He will have to think of a solution. - Aunt. Is he really going to risk coming here? If anyone sees him… my brother must have people watching me. He hates me, and does everything to tear me away from my father's heart. She sighs. - I don't know. But you and he are not alone. I am at your side, and I'm not alone. If I know Lycaon well, he will convince Skyler, and that means you have 3 old people on your side. - Why don't you help me escape and go find him first? - Romeo, you can't take a step outside the palace without being followed. At least for a few months, until your father thinks you've forgotten about Julius, there's no chance of you running away. - Months? - Months or years… if you
- Prince Julius, beta heir, great to see you on the training ground. – the chief of the master warriors says. – are you here for training or watch training? - We wanted to do some exercise, so we came here to train a little. Can we join any of the groups? - Of course, my prince. Obviously, knowing your skill, dexterity and strength, I have to join you in the strongest group. Some are older than both of you, but I imagine that's okay. The master knew their strength, but as a coach, he wanted to give everyone equal chances. Julius and Shane nod and accompany the master, who takes them to his second in command, who was training a group of 20 young wolves, between 20 and 23 years old. They were the best and most were going to join the Royal Army soon. - Wolves, attention. – Shouts the right arm of the master warrior chief. The cadets stand to attention, many of them looking curiously at the two newcomers. The chief master warrior steps forward and heads towards them. - The prince a
“Pups, I’m home.”“You have news from Romeo?” – Julius immediately asks, waking up from his sleep at the same time as Shane.“Goddess, old man. Don't scream in my head. I was sleeping” – He says, rubbing his eyes. Julius laughs.- Lycaon's screams are worth hearing if they make you smile. You scared me this morning.- Thank you for everything. – Julius says, gratefully, and kissing Shane's cheek.- Hey, hey. I may have been naked next to you and slept next to you, but don't come with these sissies moving to my side. – Shane says, laughing.Julius hits him on the head, and jumps out of bed. Go into the closet and get dressed.Shane leaves Julius's room and goes to get dressed.- Wait for me here. It takes me 2 minutes.He opens the door and leaves, but as soon as he closes the door, he hears his mother's voice.-Shane? Those shorts aren't yours. What are you doing in the prince's room, dressed only in his shorts?- Jesus Christ, woman. You scared me.- Jesus Christ? – The mother laughs
Romeo walked from left to right in his room. He was nervous and anxious, and he couldn't calm down. He knew that if he left the room in that state, Orpheus would be suspicious, so he tried to calm down. He knew it wasn't worth being like that. Julius said he would visit him, but there was no estimate of when. He couldn't stay in that state of anxiety until that happened. Lorena had left the day before he found out about this from his aunt, and he feared that the girl would end up suffering his father's anger if he had ordered someone to follow her. If she had left two days later, he would have stopped her.He sits on the bed and takes a deep breath. Julius wanted to see him. Julius hadn't forgotten him. Julius loved him. Julius was ready to face the world for him. Romeo smiles. He just had to face the world at his side.Taking a deep breath to hide his emotions, he gets up from the bed and leaves the room. He goes down the stairs and as he heads out into the street, his father's secre
