~KAEL"The Moon crest is right beneath your noses!"Ocean spurred to life at the news and just like that, Tyler was gone. I did not know what she meant. I knew that it was a clue to finding the place where she had hidden it.My heart was pumping as adrenaline coursed through me. We were very close to finding the crest now, we just had to searched deeper.Another roar resonated through the woods and it caused the birds of the air to take flight. They had become too close. The ground began to shake and I realized that we might have gotten ourself into something bigger than we imagined.My fear now, was not just for what was coming but for Zira's safety."Red! Come on girl!" Zira screamed.The horse neighed and I waved the reins hard. It immediately began to race through the woods at a speed that I did not think it possessed. Again, I had underestimated another creature, just as I had underestimated Zira. Yet here it was, leaving me bewildered.The trees started whooshing past us and whe
~ZIRA"And for the record, I am not Tyler. I am Zira Dragon," I said, my voice surprisingly confident despite the pain in my body.The White Cobra stared back at me in amusement. I had been scared of her before, this was mostly due to the large wolves that she had chasing us but after seeing and confronting her, I realized that there was nothing to be afraid of. The worst she could do was kill me. I had already been there.Death was cold and lonely. I feared it no more. If I did not fear death anymore, then there was no reason to fear the woman standing before me. She was only but a werewolf at the mercy of the goddess, just like the rest of us The White Cobra looked from Kael back to me before approaching me and looking into my face. She gasped and staggered back. Fear seized her for a split second and I could tell that everyone was patiently waiting for her to give the order and kill us all.Then she snapped her head toward the nearest man. "You told me that she was Tyler. Your man
~ZIRANow thatbi had her where I wanted her to be, It was finally time for me to lay out my next demands.Kael was no longer talking. He never had to because I was handling everything smoothly. Somewhere at the back fo my mind, I wished that my mother was here, so she could see that my duty to my pack wasn't limited to looking beautiful and giving heirs. I could handle major situations just fine.A few times, I caught Kael staring back at me in awe, obviously surprised that I was able to make all these things work on my own. He probably still saw me as an helpless princess, just like my mother, who saw me as her little baby till date. Now that I was pulling all these on my own, it was leaving him stunned.I turned my attention back to the White Cobra who did not seem so intimidating anymore. She was nothing but a mere werewolf, a mere subject who was to answer to her Luna and that Luna, in this situation was me."Have you made your decision or you still need some time to make up your
~KAELAs White Cobra stated her stand, my wolf immediately marveled at Zira's abilities. I had not expected her to win this and against a woman who was tagged as the most dangerous in town. I remembered the way Tyler trembled when she talked about The White Cobra yet Zira had single handedly fixed the problem.It had not even led to violence, a show of physical strength on them. It was just her speech against all odds and it got them losing control of their scary wits.Zira exhaled with satisfaction as White Cobra's men began to murmur in disapproval. White Cobra immediately shut them a stern look and they could not resist. They cowered away under her gaze and dipped their heads towards the ground.Ocean could not stop marvelling at Zira's ability to control the most dangerous woman. She truly was one of a kind.Ocean twisted as our bond sizzled within me. It wanted to hold her close to no other person could look at her without bowing, not even my brother.All the nervousness that I f
~KAEL"I've been missing out on this beauty my entire life!"I chuckled at her enthusiasm. She reminded me of a child who was being taken to a festival for the first time. She was so excited and someone how, we had both forgotten that we were hungry."I only ever witness this on festivals!" She exclaimed. "Although, the ones for festivals are ore sophisticated than these lights but I would give anything to witness this every night!" She exclaimed.I could not stop laughing at her reaction. She looked a lot like a child and my wolf kept twisting with excitement at her reaction."At this rate, you're not going to eat anymore. Aren't you hungry again?" I asked.She widened her eyes at me. "Of course I am hungry. I want to eat and watch the beautiful lights. Is that possible?" She asked.Again I laughed at her. She suddenly grew silent and took in my face. She did not say a word again and she listened to me laugh.I stopped laughing and stared at her. "What? Is there something on my face?
~KAELThe first thing that hit me was the delicious aroma of the food as the waiter dropped our plates. It floated into my nostrils and made my wolf dance with excitement. The hunger within me came alive and I could not withstand it anymore.There was a huge plate of baked turkey in the center while I was given my potato fries and lamb soup.I threw a glance at Zira and saw that she also had an excited expression. I could tell from the way her lips quivered that she only wanted to dig in already."Enjoy," the waiter wished us before walking away from our table.Zira smiled and stared at me. "It looks so good already," she said in a light voice.I took out a fresh plate and cut out some turkey before offering it to Zira. "Here, you would want to have this with the fries."She stared at me for a while with an emotion that I could not read before accepting it from me. Then she tasted her soup first and her eyes went wide open as she swallowed it.She first threw me a shocked stare befor
~ZIRA"Where do we tell them that we went then?"I exhaled sharply and allowed Kael's warmth to sip into my body before letting out a shudder."That you followed me out because I asked you to." I shrugged and leaned into him. I was well aware of his hands beside my waist but I tried to ignore them."And?" Kael asked in a husky voice.My wolf danced within me. I was coming up blank. "I can't think of anything. It'll come when we see them. Who knows, they might be too busy to ask," I muttered.I felt Kael inhale deeply before I heard him sigh heavily. The gates came into view. The guards from earlier had moved from the main doors to the gate. They let us through without any difficulty. It was when we got into the main court that the real difficulty began.Arden was waiting on the porch while sipping wine from a small glass cup. He rose to his feet immediately after he saw us and began to descend the three steps that led up to the porch.Kael dismounted from the horse first before helpin
~KAEL"Let's face it, you're just jealous!"I walked into the building to Zira's words. I looked from her to Bella and my wolf suddenly felt compelled to stand up for Zira, without caring who was wrong or right."What is going on here?" I demanded.Bella suddenly shot her gaze at me. Zira threw me a short glance as well before turning back to Bella."Maybe you should ask Bella, she's the one who seems to have a problem," Zira broke the silence that had sipped in and folded her arms right after.I turned to the Bella in question and sent her an inquisitive stare. She moved her eyes from me to Zira before coming back to me. Then she broke into a short chuckle."I think I understand what is going on here," she finally said.I furrowed my brows at her and the disgust I usually felt whenever she was in my presence came back to me in ten folds and I tried not to show my irritation on my face."She managed to fuck you so hard that you can't even think straight anymore, didn't she? She has ma
