The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven novel Chapter 631

Chapter 631: Oppositions Arising (I)

[Third Person].

Later that afternoon, Dennis strode into the palace still dusted with travel and battle.

He bowed briefly. "Your Majesty. My Queen."

Draven gestured for him to rise. "Report."

Dennis did not waste time. "We eliminated most of the Vampires at the border. But a small group escaped." His jaw tightened. "They moved with coordination. Like they were protecting someone."

Draven and Meredith exchanged a look. Then, Draven spoke evenly. "The female vampire who escaped... was likely Estella."

Dennis blinked. "Estella?" His brows furrowed. "That was her?"

Meredith nodded once. "She led the attack on the palace."

Instantly, understanding dawned slowly on Dennis’s face. "No wonder," he muttered. "They knew exactly where the palace was located. And how to move around Stormveil."

Draven nodded. "She grew up here. That was her advantage."

The weight of that settled heavily. Then, Dennis exhaled sharply. "So, she came home to wage war."

"Yes," Draven replied. "And she will return in the future." He continued calmly, "We will go to war with her and the vampire factions that stand behind her."

Dennis’s eyes hardened. "If that is what she wants," he said through clenched teeth, "then she will get it."

A brief silence passed, then Dennis asked, "What happened when she invaded the palace?"

Draven leaned back slightly. "She challenged me directly."

And so they told him in detail about the invasion and the duel. Of how Meredith stepped into the hall and subdued Estella and her factions.

Dennis listened without interrupting. But when Draven mentioned Meredith nearly crushing Estella’s heart, he turned to her sharply.

"You revealed your fae powers?"

Meredith held his gaze steadily. "Yes."

Dennis exhaled slowly. "The Elders will not like that."

"They haven’t made a move yet." A faint smile tugged at her lips. "They are waiting for their King’s summons," she added calmly.

Draven nodded. "Fortunately, we have a few days to rest and think before I send for them."

Dennis looked between them both, thinking that while there was war outside, politics played inside.

~Oatrun Estate~

The moment Dennis stepped through the doors of the Oatrun Estate, Helena was already hurrying toward him.

She didn’t slow down until she got to him and threw her arms around him.

Dennis caught her easily, holding her tightly, and briefly buried his face in her hair as if grounding himself in something real after blood and steel.

"You’re safe," she whispered, pulling back just enough to look at him.

He cupped her face and kissed her deeply. When he withdrew, he stared into her eyes deeply. "I told you I would be."

But she didn’t release him immediately. "I heard about the invasion," Helena said softly. "The entire capital is talking about it."

Dennis nodded. "The vampires didn’t just infiltrate Stormveil. They attacked the palace."

Her eyes widened. "The palace?"

"Yes." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
