Fenja learned that her parents were still in the pack, they refused to leave before they could meet with Fenja and the warriors couldn’t do anything, aside from preventing them from coming closer to the alpha’s building. They couldn’t truly chase them out, since the other person was an alpha too and it could cause a battle between the pack.
The warriors needed Fenja’s clear confirmation to throw them out of the pack, because that was the only way to get rid of them, yet it would ruin the relationship between the two packs deeply.
Therefore, they needed Fenja’s direct order, a clear one, if that was what Fenja wanted, because after that, there wouldn’t be a turning back.
The relationship between two packs wouldn’t be the same. After all, this was a humiliation.
“What we should do now, luna?” Fern asked carefully.
“Let them stay.” Fenja then added. “But, don’t let them get inside the alpha’s building. I don’t want them around and do not allow them to roam the pack as they please.”
Fenja wouldn’t kick them out, but by limiting their access and movement, it would be enough to drive them crazy and they would leave the pack on their own accord.
Or at least, that was what Fenja wanted.
The next day, she learned from Fern that her parents didn’t budge. They still refused to leave until they could get a hold of Fenja, but of course, she didn’t have any intention to see them.
A week later, Kane came to visit her and check her condition with Arya. Both of them learned what happened, but they couldn’t leave the battlefield just yet because the constant attack from the Sakaris Kingdom.
Only when Kane led the warriors himself and killed another alpha, they finally retreated. But, it wouldn’t take sc long before they came with full force to get their revenge.
After all, within less than half a year, two of their alphas were killed.
“It’s amazing that you can kill their alpha,” Fenja said weakly, she was tired easily, even when she played with Jaxon, she couldn’t do it for long. She couldn’t even keep up with her son, because she didn’t have the energy now Jaxon started crawling.
“Nah, that’s really a miracle. I thought I was going to die.” Kane waved his hands, he looked grateful for his luck and he was serious when he said that he thought he was going to die in the battlefield. “If it was not for him fell into a silver spike, and injured his leg, I wouldn’t have a chance to finish him off.”
“Still, it is good to hear that…” Fenja’s voice trailed off as she fell into a deep sleep. She stayed awake long enough to have a chat with the two of them, but now her energy had depleted and she couldn’t stay conscious any longer before sleepiness took over.
“Is she fine?” Kane asked, the smile on his face faded away, as he saw Fenja’s pale face. “Why she is like this? Do you think, when Xaden returns, will she get better?”
“It doesn’t matter whether the alpha is here or not, even if he is here, but he still detaches himself from her, then she will not get better. This is the problem with the mate bond that they share.” Arya sighed deeply. “The mate bond connects to their wolf spirits, so if one denied it, the other would have felt it.”
Arya then made an analogy where their wolf spirits were being starved from affection.
“But, I don’t see Xaden feel any pain.”
“Because he was the one who denied it. I think he still feels the pain, but it is not as fatal as Fenja.” Arya then narrowed her eyes at the beta. “I think I have explained this to you.”
“Oh, right. Sorry, there are a lot of things in my mind. The explanation slipped my head. Now, I remember that.” “Have Xaden received the letter? Has he written back?”
“No. There is still no letter from him.” Kane clicked his tongue.
THERE IS NO EASY WAY
“I wonder if our people managed to get the message to him or he simply ignored it.”
***
Xaden sneaked out of the palace. His body felt weaker than usual because of the pain from the mate bond and the rune.
It took him more than an hour to tone down his killing intent towards the king, especially after his suggestion to take Arlene as his mate.
With him leaving the room, it did help Xaden to stop his train of thought on how to kill the king. He would have done it if he could, even if it was the last thing that he could do.
Unfortunately, with the rune on his hand, things were not that simple.
Xaden moved in his black beast quietly, the color of his fur blended with the night and he could easily leave the palace ground without anyone noticing him.
And once he was in the main street, he went to the alley and continued walking from there, blending with the people.
It was a quiet night, but there was a crowded market, which was a great camouflage for Xaden to walk among them. It helped because not many people in this capital city had ever seen him in person.
