Arguing A Cause

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-24 16:52:39

"We should declare war on Elyria for this!"

Alpha Prince Reyes stood before his father in the throne room pacing and trying to argue his case. He hated the fact that his father was being too lenient about handling this matter that had been dragging on with Elyria. If he were the one on the throne, this would not be an issue, he would have gone to war with Elyria long before now and conquered them.

Alpha Korvin Thorold sat tired on the throne, resiting his head on his fisted hand which rested on the arm rest. He was tired of having this conversation, or argument, with Reyes every now and then, despite making clear to him what his stance on the matter was and will continue to be.

"Reyes, I have told you this several times before and I will repeat it again for your understanding," he said to him with a sigh, "I will not be the first to... Nyxoria will not be the first to strike. As long as neither kingdoms attack, we will remain in peace."

"Peace?!" Reyes was amused and he chuckled, desp

    Dathan smirked and remained humbled before him. He was Alpha Prince Reyes right hand man, a delta werewolf, and just like Reyes, he too wanted to declare war on Elyria. It was in support of Reyes wishes, even though he had something selfish up his sleeves that he planed on revealing, but it would all be in due time. For now, he would help Reyes achieve his aim in any way that he could."I feel you are delaying on that aspect, Alpha."Reye smirked, he liked being addressed as Alpha. He shook his head, "Skip that, are they all gathered?" he asked him."Gathered and waiting your presence so you can address them," He replied with a nod, bowing even lower and maintaining that sly grin on his face."Good," Reyes let out a forceful breath and turned to walk out the room with Dathan following him closely.For months, he had been gathering men faithful to his own cause, feeding them with what the new Nyxoria would be like under his rule. Knowing his father and his soft and meek ways, he knew t

    Her room was at the far end of the castle, with the window facing the sables. Beyond that was the village, and beyond that was the forest. She stood there, by the window, leaning in to rest her elbows on the railing with thoughts in her head as she fixed her eyes on the forest. The sun was still up in the sky, but it was beginning to set."Too slow," she thought to herself, talking about the sun still holding up in the sky. She let out a sigh and turned away from the window, walking to her bed then said it out loud, "Too slow."She wanted to get to Ivone right now and it wasn't just because she wanted to tell her about her brother's plot, it was a little bit more than that. The last time they had seen had been days ago. Or weeks? She hadn't been keeping count but she knew it had been a long time ago. Her wolf howled and her body craved.As she sat on her bed, she allowed her fingers climb up her shoulders to the nape of her neck and caress the marks Ivone's teeth had left there. She b

    "What is wrong with you?" she asked him, "Seriously! What is your deal?!""Everything I do is for the good of the kingdom, Maya!" he said out loud in frustration, "Everything I do is to protect you!""No!" she lashed back at him, "Everything you do is for your selfish interest!""So I should have allowed you be mated to a commoner who can not and does not have the resources to take a proper care of you?! Is that is, Maya? Is that what you want?!""What I want is for you to act like a brother to me!" she said and threw a pillow at him. He caught it and set it down on the table, bringing his attention back to her, "What sort of a brother would cause his sister to remain unmated! What sort of a brother would kill off anyone who makes their intentions known to me?!""The sort of brother who only means well for his sister!""No you don't!" she screamed at him, "You do not mean well for me at all, Reyes!""I see," Reyes said in a low voice and frowned. He fisted his hand and squared his sho

    She was laying down lazily on the bed with her eyes fixed on the ceiling when she heard the call. Immediately, she jacked off the bed and ran to the window. She held her breath and her heart in her hands and fell silent, listening again for the call just to be sure.And then she heard it again."Maya!" she screamed in her heart.Her heart fluttered and raced and she quickly ran to her wardrobe to take off the night wear she already had on. Filtering through the dresses she had come to own, she chose something simple from the wardrobe to put on and she quickly got dressed, the excitement of seeing Maya again tonight drove her on.Just as she finished dressing, she made for the door, paused to calm herself down before she placed her hand on the door knob. In that moment, a knock came to her door and her heart skipped several beats. She felt like she had just been caught doing something she should not have been doing and her heart refused to settle."Ivone," came Triston's deep baritone

    "Well done!" she commended herself and then transformed into her small brown wolf. She paused when she saw Jaxon making his way from the stable to the main building, he was cradling something in his arms but she couldn't make out what. She wasn't interested in finding out, she just needed him to walk faster so she could sprint out of this place undetected.She watched him walk into the main building and disappear down a corridor before she dashed across the courtyard, heading for the section where the fence was the lowest. She looked around once more before leaping over the fence, making her way stealthily through the village and towards the forest to her lover.Maya sat uneasy on a tree stomp by the clearing, rhythymically shaking her legs and rubbing her palm against her arms as she looked around the darkness. She was not afraid, no. It was not fear that moved her but her eagerness to meet with Ivone.It had taken her only a couple of minutes to reach the forest from the castle and

    "You are a long way from your castle, aren't you?" he smirked micheviously, "Maya Thorold."Fear settled in Ivone's heart as she read the look in Triston's eyes. She heard a bark from behind her and the huge wolf they had initially thought to be Reyes settled down into his human form. She recognized him, he was Jaxon, Triston's delta."I was right to follow my instincts and trail you," Triston said, speaking to Ivone who brought her attention back to him, "I wanted to know where it was you were constantly running off to, I never did expect you would lead me right to a Thorold.""Triston, listen to me," Ivone began. Her hand left Maya and was held out in front of her against Triston. Knowing where his mind was going to, she tried to reason with him, "Maya is not her brother, she is not Reyes.""You should step aside, Ivone.""Triston please!" Ivone said in desperation, "I know you want your revenge, so do I but she is not Reyes!"Triston shook his head, "No Ivone, you do not want this

    Reyes settled down into his wolf form when he neared the clearing. He stopped and allowed the others approach the area while he stayed behind with Dathan, observing and looking around the forest for signs of anyone outside their group hanging around."It's quiet," Dathan mentioned as he looked around, "It is much too quiet."Reyes only nodded in agreement. The place was much to quiet to be occupied by anyone, let alone two giggly girls supposedly in love with each other. The man he had sent out to trail Maya had returned later on to tell him he had seen her with Ivone, although they had not set out immediately, Reyes was sure they had not delayed so much either, so why was he not seeing anyone here as the man had said?"There's no on here, Alpha!" one of the others yelled out to him and Reyes let out a sigh. He could already feel his frustration starting to build and he almost immediately could tell that all was not going to be well in a couple of minutes.His wolf growled and so did

    But then, if Triston had wanted to exert his revenge on him by killing his sister, then he would have made a big show of it in the same manner or similar to how he had done with his own mate, Damaris. He would not have taken her to Elyria to be killed there, because he was sure that Triston knew that if Maya's blood, as the princess of Nyxoria, was spilled on Elyria's soil, drawn by an Elyrian, it would mean war.He groaned and stood still, bowed his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. Right now, he just had to believe that his sister was alive. Safe? he wouldn't know, but at least, she was alive. He took in a deep breath, let it out heavily and stood straight with a frown on his face."Back to Nyxoria," he said and transformed.Dathan narrowed his eyes at him, a little bit confused, "And what about the princess, Maya?"Reyes turned his head to Dathan and produced a low growl from his throat in annoyance. Dathan bowed his head a little, lifted both hands in the air and took a cou

    "That is impossible," Alpha Ardon said lightly and turned away from his son, walking back towards the window, "There is no way they could be mated, right?""You have called for war with this, and Nyxoria would be sure to respond," Triston said but that was not what was really bothering his father right now.Alpha Ardon looked at Triston in disbelief and then pointed a finger at him, "But you had called her yours the other day. You had called Ivone yours."Triston sighed and placed both hands on his his, looking at his father in unbelief, was that really his problem right now and not the war that was now inevitable?"Should that really be the issue bothering you right now, Alpha Ardon of Elyria?" he asked but his father was unfazed."You had called her yours, what about that?"Triston gritted his teeth, "Ivone's scent is muct too similar to her sister's, Damaris, who was my mate, it confuses my wolf into taking her as my mate."Alpha Ardon chuckled and clapped his hands once, wearing a

    Alpha Ardon stood in his room facing the window, he was fully dressed like he was just about to head out but he had remained in his room when one of the workers had come to tell him that his son had requested an audience with him. He had found it strange because Triston almost never requested an audience with him, if he wanted to talk with him, he usually would just find him and talk, but this time he had requested?He had considered it too much of a hassle to go down to the throne room, so he had sent back his message that Triston meet him in his room instead, and now he waited for his son to come, he was intruiged to know what exactly it was that his son wanted to talk to him about, although he could guess that it had something to do with the Nyxorian princess he had killed earlier.The sun was high in the sky, Alpha Ardon had planned on going to Goral to see how the people there were faring after the attack yesterday. He might be seen as a cold, unloving and hard to please person,

    Reyes smirked and his head rose in pride as one by one, the other Deltas fell on their knees and pledged their loyalty to him and his head swelled for a moment before his frown returned. He strolled up to the throne, stood in front of it and turned around to face the people in the room with him. He took one look at his father's body lying in the pool of his own blood and he smirked then scoffed, and his eyes went to Maya's body and his anger returned as memories of that scene replayed itself in his mind."I, Alpha Reyes Thorold of the Nightshade pack and ruler of Nyxoria, declare war on Alpha Prince Triston Valtor, on every member of the royal family of Elyria and on the kingdom of Elyria, for the brutal murder of my sister Maya Thorold, princess of Nyxoria," he announced in a deep baritone voice as he stood tall and proud, "For the sins of their Alpha Prince Triston Valtor they all would pay, every man, every woman, every child, every animal, every livestock.""Yes Alpha!" they all c

    Zina had retreated to the back with her ladies in waiting, standing behind the Deltas who were now rallying in support of Reyes' ambition to bring war down upon Elyria."We will take one of theirs, we will take all of theirs and we will take more!" she heard him shout out in anger and zeal, and then the other Deltas yelled out in support.She could not get the image of Maya's dead body out of her mind. Although she and the girl really didn't see eye to eye, one reason being the fact that she herself found it repulsive that she was mated with a girl, and that girl was Ivone and Maya stubbornly refused to reject her. She disliked her for that."Enough of that, Reyes," Alpha Korvin finally spoke up and everyone went quiet. Reyes turned to face his father with a look of confusion on his face. His eyebrows furrowed in anger and he slowly approached his father."Enough of that?" he said and pointed a finger to his sister's dead body, "That is the result of you saying "enough of that" to me

    Murmurs broke out from among the people in the room following their gasps of shock, it was still very early in the moring, the sun was just beginning to shine and most of the citizens of Nyxoria were still asleep in their beds, yet this tragedy had come to the royal family of Nyxoria.Maya's body laid displayed on the table in the throne room before her father and the Delta's in high positions in the kingdom. The sight was gruesome, she had a gaping hole in her chest and was covered entirely in her own blood. Her hair was in a shambled mess, soaked in her own blood and clinging to the skin of her face.Reyes stood a couple of distance away from the table, he had his eyes fixed on his father who was shocked to the bone staring at the lifeless body of his only daughter. He had one hand stroking her hair while the other shaky hand hovered over her abdomen, slowly making its way up her body where it stopped at her chest, right over the hole in there and he trembled even more."How did thi

    Alpha Korvin Thorold sat on the throne of Nyxoria with his his Delta, Kaiser Archon beside him, he had the other Deltas in the throne room as well and even Zina had been invited. None of them in the room were sure of why they had to be here but Dathan, under the command of Alpha Prince Reyes Thorold, had requested that Alpha Korvin and the others who held positions of high authority in Nyxoria be present as well."What did you say this was about, Dathan?" Alpha Korvin asked Dathan. They had been in here for almost thirty minutes now and he was already running out of patience, the only reason he was here was because his son had requested the meeting, but still it was just too early in the morning.Dathan turned to Alpha Korvin and bowed to him in respect, "I do not have all the details, Alpha, only that Alpha Prince Reyes had requested for this."Alpha Korvin sighed and reclined against the throne on which he sat. He turned to face Kaiser who forced a smile, signaling for him to remain

    Triston tried to reach out to her in worry but she held a hand back to stop him from getting closer or touching her."Did you see her off to the edge of the Nyxorian forest then?" he asked her again and Ivone again shook her head.She was gasping now and the discomfort she was feeling in her heart grew into a painful squeeze and without thinking, she reached out to Triston for support as she felt her legs begin to grow weak."What is happening to me, Triston?" she asked him in between gasps. Triston held on to her as she slowly gave her whole weight to him, and gently he lowered them both to the ground with Ivone protectively in his arms. She grabbed the dress around her chest and squeezed, feeling the pain build until it was most unbearable for her so she let out a scream and started rolling about in his arms.Triston held her to his chest now and cradled her head in his hand. He shut his eyes as she begun to cry from the pain she was feeling in her chest. Already, he knew what it wa

    The morning was close by, she could feel it in the air and she could tell by the weather. The forest had been dark and cold and lonely, she was torn between emotions, being happy for Maya finally set free to return home, and sad about the fact that she might not be seeing her anytime soon. She consoled herself with the fact that as long as they both were alive, there would forever be chances for them to meet again.She rode her horse in a slow gallop out of the forest, heading back to the Elyrian castle, it was possible that both Triston and Alpha Ardon would have returned by now and she wondered if Alpha Ardon would immediately notice Maya's absence. She doubted that because he ever since the day he had captured her, she had never seen him go down there. But whatever be the case, by the time he would come to learn of her absence, Maya would have already been long gone, probably enjoying a refershing hot bath in her room.She chuckled at the sight in her imagination and it warmed her

    The forest was silent of human noises and all that reached their ears were the cacophony of the forest night life and the sounds of their own breathing. Both girls sat atop their horses facing forward, they had just crossed the border seperating the two kingdoms and the realization of them having to seperate weighed heavily on them."I guess this is goodbye then," Maya was the first to say. She didn't lift her head to look at Ivone, instead she played with her fingers grasping on to the reins of the horse.Ivone turned to look at Maya and a smile slowly came to her face. She reached her hand out and pushed Maya a little on the shoulder and then she chuckled, "Why are you saying it like we would never see again?"Maya chuckled and a tear dropped from her eyes, "Right?" She didn't lift her head to look at Ivone still, it was too heartbreaking to say goodbye.Ivone sat up on the horse and lifted her face up to the skies, she took in a deep breath and let it out forcefully, then chuckled
