Chapter 46 For Vagen
Chapter 46 For Vagen
Third–person POV:
In truth, waiting for the reinforcements led by Holt had been the safest option, but everyone was beyond famished.
Supplies were running out faster than moonlight slipped away!
Before they tore into each other like starving wolves, they had to tear open the enemy’s city first.
But before the true plunder began, Laila still had one more task…

High–ranking Alpha warriors had to infiltrate the battlements first and destroy the poison–coated ballistae and the boiling–oil mechanisms on the walls.
Only by completing this task could they effectively reduce the casualties among ordinary soldiers and raise the chances of a successful siege!
Samuel would personally lead this strike team of fangs. No one objected because in wolf law, the sharpest fang was always aime at the hardest shield.
At three in the morning, they gathered beneath the city walls, merging into a silent shadow.
Samuel’s gaze swept over every face like an icy blade, pausing on Laila for a brief moment before moving on.
“No matter who completes the task first, go down immediately and open the city gates.”
His voice was low, yet it seemed to tear through the cold wind. “The rest will use howls as the signal and provide full cover.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Samuel nodded.
In the instant before he leapt onto the wall, his gray eyes swept over Laila again, but this time, he didn’t look away until Laila lifted her chin and met his gaze in the way of a wolf warrior.
“Move out!”
The siege began!
Samuel surged onto the wall like a streak of silver lightning, his appearance instantly igniting enemy howls and a storm of arrows.
In that split second of chaos, Laila and the other Alpha wolves slipped into the shadows like phantoms.
After swiftly destroying the defensive ballistae and other equipment, Laila immediately jumped down to open the city gates.
As she leapt, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye–Prince Samuel, surrounded by Alpha wolves, was still holding his ground.
His deep blue wolf fur bristled amid the slaughter, faint blue white arcs of lightning flowing beneath his pelt.
What was that?

Third–person POV:
Samuel stood on the small hill, not approaching any closer.
Once the battle had ended, he had already come to pay his respects.

He had chosen to bring Laila here because he saw in her the same near–stubborn resilience as General Conlay. Given time, this young she–wolf would never fall short of her father.
Once, he had believed she was destined for that path; the brightest Alpha wolf at Moonlight Academy, a future female general who would command armies.
Until she suddenly withdrew from the academy, swiftly formed a mate bond with Holt of Ironclaw Pack, and even announced to the outside world that she was merely a “docile Omega.”
He had thought she had chosen the den and cubs, rather than the battlefield and howls.
Yet she had appeared at Vagen…
Five days and five nights, crossing the territory of three hostile tribes, just to deliver intelligence that might have been dismissed as madness!
It was truly remarkable.
But strangely, during this reunion, he never once saw on her face that fiery, unrestrained smile she used to have at the academy.
In its place was a restraint that had been tempered by hardship, almost painful in its endurance.
Aside from losing her father and five brothers, what else had she endured?
Had Holt treated her badly?
The thought made Samuel’s gaze freeze instantly.
Deep within his smoke–gray pupils, a glimmer belonging to a lead wolf guarding its prey began to burn faintly…

Royal Court.
The battle report from Vagen was relayed back to the Royal Court by three werewolf messengers, passing it hand to hand over the course of three days.
When the Alpha King saw Laila’s name in the report, he froze for a moment, then immediately sent people to investigate Silvermoon Pack’s den.
Only then did he learn that on the very night he had reprimanded her, Laila had quietly rushed to the Vagen battlefield to deliver the warning herself!
Facing the uneasy members of Silvermoon Pack, the Alpha King did not assign blame.

Instead, he was overjoyed.
“Good, good. As expected of General Conlay’s daughter!”

He immediately summoned the four Beta aides. As king, he had four Beta deputies who assisted in governing the Royal Court.
