(Doris' Pov)Everyone that was around us kept looking at me. Some were envious stares while some were states that anticipated my response to Elder Garrison."I think she's too happy to respond to the grand offer.""Yeah, I guess so. That's why she hasn't said or done anything yet."Others agreed to the speakers, while I stood still with no obvious reaction or response to Elder Garrison's offer.Unlike other students and those around, the one offered looked at me with a little unhappy eyes. Since he saw that I did not react to his news, unlike the rest of the students who were amazed, his expression and demeanour dampened.The dean who was also waiting for a response from me, subtly held my arm. "Why are you not saying anything? You should agree to the wonderful order." He urged gently.The surroundings became tense in anticipation as murmurs filled the air."She will agree now." I heard from my side."Yeah, now that the dean has reminded her. Who knows, maybe she has forgotten herself
Elder Garrison:I left the academy and soon arrived at a very luxurious and large private villa which also has a manor. It was the villa of Tobias, the second elder, and was also the place where the meeting was arranged to be held.Stepping out of the car, I saw Maximus who was just a few steps away from me. He was one of the Iron Claw warriors that were recently trained by whom I have no idea of. He was the most powerful among the warriors that were trained.After the training and his full recovery with the help of his trainer, his strength had reached a higher level which did not go unnoticed by many including myself. This had made him to be audibly grateful to his trainer and I'm sure hearing the news about 100 warriors has moved him to give it a trial, hence his presence here.As I took a step forward, his powerful aura suddenly got my attention. Maximus kept a smile on his face as he noticed my presence. He approached me immediately and bowed his head."You must be an Elder Garri
(Doris’ Pov)The second elder and I were still chatting the moment away when a very beautiful and elegant-looking woman got down from a car, a few steps away from where we stood."Lady Anya!" The second elder called out immediately as he saw her. She walked towards us with a cool smile on her face as her gaze fell on both of us, one after the other."It's good to have you here, welcome." He greeted them warmly and respectfully as they shared a hug."And I'm glad to be here." She responded with a calm smile as they broke the hug."You look really beautiful by the way." The second elder complimented her with a wide grin."Thank you." She blushed at the compliment, turned her gaze to me and stood elegantly at my front. "I know you. You are Doris, right? Anyways I'm Anya, but you can call me Lady Anya. I like it when I'm called that." She grinned stylishly and brought out her hand for a handshake.I raised an eyebrow and looked down at her hand, waiting for a proper introduction and not a
(Maximus' Pov)Everyone looked surprised when I released my aura and talked about myself. They could feel how strong I was as it did not leave their mouths. I was very proud of myself for that, and also for coming out as the first person in front of everyone, to challenge and defeat one of the recommended candidates.Still, on the stage, I decided to say something else. "Elder Garrison found me and also discovered my potential, which I'm very grateful to him. However, I would like to challenge that arrogant person, that man who thinks he is strong enough and can reject and disrespect Elder Garrison. I want to teach him a lesson, so if he is sure that he is man enough, he should come out here and fight with me."I knew I spoke in an arrogant manner, which was also noticed and acknowledged by Elder Garrison as he looked very satisfied when my gaze met with him. Murmurs and whispers filled the air as everyone began talking about whom I was referring to.There was still no one coming out
(Elder Garrison's Pov)Doris, having such identity and authority was not what I expected. She looked like she was only in her early twenties and that age is still too young to have such. 'There must be something wrong.' I thought inwardly as my brows creased, revealing my suspicion all over my face.The man noticed that I suspected something and shook his head. "You have doubts written all over your face, but I'd like you to know that she was also approved by the first elder. Besides, he even announced her identity to everyone at the banquet." He had a convincing smile on his face as he spoke.I had no choice but to believe it, no matter how suspicious it was to me. To think that I had to ask her to work for me, and also went ahead to threaten her that she would never be able to meet 100 warriors in her life otherwise, I would give up my position as an elder. Thinking about what I had done and said just made me want to slap myself."We should stop our little quarrel and be friendly to
(Maximus’ Pov)Although I was in pain after being defeated by Zane, I couldn't help but feel angered when he proudly boasted and called me a waste, also belittling the werewolf kingdom. I remained on the ground in pain as I had already sustained injury.Zane, talking about the werewolf king allowing the vampire elites to enter into the kingdom caused an uproar among the werewolves. Although I was not fully paying attention to their complaints and grievances due to my pains, I could hear the audible voices."Did our king allow the vampire elites to come into this kingdom?" An angry voice asked out loud."That's unbelievable and impossible. He wouldn't do that, not when he knows the enmity between both kingdoms."They all began to voice out in anger, saying that the vampire in their midst, Zane, was just saying nonsense and that no one would believe him. They added that he was only trying to get into them.Looking over at Zane, I saw that he was nonchalant about the attitude and disagre
(Doris' Pov)Turning to where the voice came from which was not far away, a group of people walked in majestically. I could tell the owner of the voice was the one who was in the middle.They walked in further and I could see that he was their leader. He was a vampire and appeared more powerful than the rest. I turned my gaze to the man who walked beside him and discovered he was not a vampire but a werewolf.I recognized him to be Ken, who was one of the Elders. Ken was not just an elder but also the younger brother of the werewolf king. He was also one of the five leaders of the Iron Claw warriors. He kept a stern look on his face as he stepped forward, fixing his gaze on the two people who were fighting."That's enough, Zane. Let him go!" He ordered immediately. Zane paid him deaf ears and continued to beat Maximus."You werewolf should apologize to him first so he'll let you go. That is if you want to." The leader who was by the side of Ken pointed out to Maximus.(Ken's Pov)'Is
(Doris’ Pov)Zane's portrayal of me as a nobody was not well received by the werewolves around him."The one you address as a nobody is not what you think she is." One of them revealed bluntly."If she's not a nobody, then who the hell is she?" He scowled in disgust."Well, she's the one who formed 100 warriors. So, in a simple sense, she is the reason why are gathered here." One of the recommended candidates close to him revealed.Zane glanced at me and the other werewolves and bursted out laughing hysterically. "Can you werewolves be any more ridiculous?" He asked mockingly in between his laughter. "Okay, okay, let me be serious here." He stopped laughing and straightened himself feigning seriousness."So the werewolf kingdom relied on a female werewolf to protect them?" He asked and raised his brows in disgust. "What can she do for you all? I mean, merely looking at her I can tell how weak she is. She's even too young for goodness sake! How do you werewolves, especially you old one
