Chapter 31: Provocation.

Exalia's POV Lucia's face turned red, her jaw tightened, and her eyes blazed with fury. “You dare!” She uttered through gritted teeth, glaring at me with a hint of red in her eyes. She had probably not been treated in such a manner before due to her status, but I didn't care. I never provoked her, and she decided to do so herself. Moreover, She expected me to bow to her, for What? Who was She? Although I had always endured all this bullying, that doesn't mean I was a pushover, not even when Axel's reputation was at stake. It wasn't clear to me why I was worried about that brute's reputation, but that was something to think about some other time. “Why won't I dare? Of course, I do. To be honest, you've committed a heinous crime worthy of death by calling the Queen by such names, but as a fellow Luna, I will be lenient on you. What do you think your punishment should be?” I questioned, crossing my arms with a smile tugging at the corner of my lips. Lucia's lips quivered, and he

Chapter 32: Who wronged you?

Axel's POVI stood before the polished bronze mirror, reaching for the linen undershirt as I pulled it over my shoulders. I had never fancied being attended to, so I preferred handling my things on my own.Well, that's how I grew up, before my old man left me to look after his legacy.My fingers moved to the leather vest, securing each straps and buttons with precision, and practiced ease. After, I squatted lightly to put on the dark-colored tunic, and wound the belt around my waist gently. After one last look in the mirror, I nodded in satisfaction. Actually, the reason I took time to groom my looks was because of Exalia. Just when I draped the crest of my forefathers on the chest pocket, a knock sounded from the door.“Yes?” I called out, busying myself with my hair.“My Lord, all the Alphas from different Packs and districts have arrived. And, they are already waiting for you in the Audience chamber with their Lunas.” Ronan's voice rang out, but I didn't bat an eyelid. With a no

Chapter 33: Aura oppression.

Exalia's POV "Who wronged you?" He asked softly, as if he's coaxing a kid, and I pressed my lips together. As his fingers intertwined with mine, I felt a strange mix of electricity and warmth seep through our conjoined hands, and into my already wavering heart.My gaze shifted to our hands, lost in thought at the intimacy of his gesture. And, the fact that he didn't care even though there are several Alphas and Lunas present in the chamber.I could feel the weight of their stares - every pair felt judgemental and surprised, and I could understand why.My heart raced against my rib cage, loud and strong, confusion mixing with a strange glee, one that had me clenching my teeth to stop myself from smiling foolishly. Definitely, something is wrong with me. I am certain I detested Axel, I was sure, I…That was when our previous interaction emerged in my mind. As a timid woman, I should have his from his scrutinizing gaze, especially after hearing all those bad things about him, yet I di

Chapter 34: Lucia's disqualification.

Exalia's POV The once fearless Alpha, seemed almost fragile under the weight of Axel's oppressive aura, he recoiled backward without being able to counterattack in the slightest. His bravado crumbled, and his confident smirk a while ago had twisted into a painful grimace. He curled and unfurled his fists, trying to meet Axel's gaze, but cowered at the last minute.He cast his head down, like a subject in the presence of his King. The room fell silent, none daring to speak up, probably fearing that Axel would direct this crushing pressure on them. Even those Lunas from earlier could only dip their heads down. I didn't have an opportunity to worry about why I wasn't affected by his aura, but I could feel it when I saw how Lucia wasn't affected as well.It seems Axel's target was only Richard, he probably didn't want to stoop low as punishing a male by himself. “Richard!” Lucia exclaimed in worry, as she reached out to support her Alpha.She didn't dare to blame Axel, and merely gla

Chapter 35: My mate.

Exalia's POV All heads turned to follow Lucia as she left the room, her Alpha, Richard hesitated slightly. A look of hesitation flashed past his eyes, but he remained still.After a while longer, he seemed to have made up his mind, steeled his mind and without looking into Axel's eyes, he walked back to his seat with his head lowered. He gestured towards the two servants behind him, and both of them nodded in sync before rushing out of the room as well.Even though Richard and Lucia were proud couples, they genuinely cared for each other, and I appreciated that. With all these, my anger had been appeased, and I no longer thought about it.Turning around, I noticed that Axel had been staring at me for a while, he also didn't let go of my hand.“They are gone now, let go.” I demanded softly, feeling my cheeks burning due to the gazes plastered on my body.Earlier, I was angry, so I really didn't feel anything. But now, I couldn't help but feel self-conscious and I shifted uncomfortabl

Chapter 36: Discussion.

Exalia's POV The Luna choked on her next word, her expression turning ugly, but she didn't utter any other word. Truth to the rumors, Axel seemed to be an unreasonable Alpha, who only does what he likes. Yet, his actions contained an undeniable charm, fatal to maidens. The thought made me strangely displeased, but I pushed the feeling away. “Exalia is my mate, and I will not condone any acts of disrespect towards her. Disrespecting her is similar to disrespecting me, and without telling you, you should know the consequences of going against me. I won't say much, let's start discussing the reason for our gathering for today.” A stillness fell over the chambers, and the Alphas seemed to organize their thoughts, before one of them spoke up. “Alpha, the Border Exchange this time will take place in our lands, there shouldn't be too many casualties. And, as usual, we should be in the leading position.” Axel nodded, “I know.” His frown deepened, “What I am worried about is this new

Chapter 37: Up against a witch. 

Axel's POV “Even if witches are said to be undefeatable, shouldn't we, at least try to make preparations, should in case she attacks? This matter is not a joke, both our prestige, reputation, and existence is at risk here. Imagine losing a piece of land to these people, wouldn't we turn to a sheep, whose wool is ready to be exploited?” Exalia suddenly chimed in, speaking for the first time.Truthfully, her words were reasonable, and no one could refute it.It was true that witches are overpowered beings, with magic under the tip of their fingers. Moreover, that Alpha King must have sacrificed something in return for help from the witch.One thing about witches was their persistence. They would do anything to achieve their goals, and I'm not sure if I can handle an attack from a witch at the moment. Moreover, we don't even know what they have in their plans. Assuming we have a clue, it would be easier to take precautions. “Then, what should we do to prepare? We should not forget tha

Chapter 38: Conclusion.

Axel's POV Exalia spoke up at this moment, “Also, our movement is being monitored by our enemies as well, so we should be careful of what we do. I advise we do everything secretly, lest they get news of our plans. Most of them should have gotten the news of the witch, so they must be preparing, and they might want to imitate us. If they do, our plan will definitely be exposed, and we would have even more enemies. So, it would be better if we keep our plans inside.” She explained calmly. This time, no one refuted because she was utterly right. Our lands were at stake here, and if those people get hold of them, it would be a massive catastrophe as others will begin to stretch out their claws.Furthermore, if we don't retain the position of the Victor, we would have to give out three portions of our lands, that's almost the same thing as giving everything out. To make things worse, they would be the one to choose the portion of land they wanted, and we must agree or else, the remaini

Chapter 39: Strange news

Axel's POV“Ignore that.” I instructed calmly, not bothering to glance back at the door. I didn't have that much patience to bother about who could be.The Alphas nodded without rebutting, and I turned to the Alpha who just spoke up, “Increase the vigilance in all the packs, the patrol guards should also increase. We must be vigilant at all times.” I stated in a grave tone, and they all nodded in agreement. Bernard spoke up, “The weapons and equipments are ready for use, we can handpick the better ones after the gathering, and allocate the weapons to the warriors.” I nodded in satisfaction, the blacksmithing chamber had never delayed, and it was no exception this time when it's a crucial moment. Just then, another persistent knock rang out once again, and a commotion from outside the chamber fell into my ears.“I need to go in, this is very important.” An anxious voice rang out, and I knitted my brows in displeasure. “No, you can't go in. There's an important meeting going on insi

Chapter 40: Connection.

Exalia's POV An ominous feeling took place in my chest, followed by anxiety that made my palms clammy with sweat.A strange death? Why does it sound similar to the dream I had last night?An Alpha spoke up doubtfully, “It's different from an ordinary chronic flu? How?” He asked, staring at the man named Julian fixedly. The memory from the dream emerged in my mind once again - the way those people dropped to their death without even knowing how, and countless graves that signifies how several people had already died.I pressed my lips into a thin line, before turning to look at Axel, I parted my lips, but no words came out. What could I say? I dreamt people were dying, but so? I didn't dream of how I could be of help.Moreover, it's just a pack, and it's only a few people who lost their lives. It might be simply an ordinary flu that was left untreated for many days, according to Axel.I didn't dare to say anything, and merely watched on with knitted brows, while numerous thoughts flo
