King Geraden was begging for trouble and so he was going to get it.

Right after they disappeared, I continued to change into my lycan form and thereafter howled loudly, informing my people of their king’s anger and sadness. The ones that were inside the throne room: Elijah, William, and Farryl transformed into their were form and howled in response, in unison with the rest of the kingdom.

‘Prepare for a bloodbath!’ I mind-linked at all of them, gnashing my teeth and clawing out the marbled floor. ‘The King of Ehnrelil had robbed us of our queen and therefore his kingdom deserved our wrath! Are you with me, my people?!’

A louder howl reverberated all over the kingdom, and possibly, it had crossed borders to other realms, informing the rest of the leaders that Phanteon was in turmoil.

I was itching to run my claws on specifically two worthless people: Geraden and Hale, in no particular order of their deaths. I wanted them torn to pieces, rib by rib, limb by limb, gouge out their eyes and sever their heads. I took delight in the grotesque plans I had for them. I just had to get across the fae border and reach them…

Only when I tried to realm hop into their territory, I was the one surprised. It seemed they had prepared for my coming too and had blocked the portals again. Not only that, but I also couldn’t hear Serena’s thoughts and I couldn’t mind-link her, and again, I associate this to the spells of the faes.

Fuck.

But, this was only a minor setback, I thought to myself. My army and I were going to break their stronghold for good and I was going to take back my queen, save her whether she needed it or not…

‘What do you want in return, Nevannir?’ I looked back on the time when Ehnrelil’s guardian and I conversed.

Give and take, that was his motto so it seems. Since he provided me information about the bugs and gave me a bracelet to test Serena’s honesty, I was bound to give him something in return.

He curled up a smile in response and tipped his head down. ‘I only want to see a glorious fae realm, Your Majesty. Make that happen for me. I believe the new king is unfit to rule, and Queen Adna, she is too grief-stricken still to function properly.’

Wrinkles on my forehead formed.

‘All these centuries, she still mourns of Alduin’s death?’ I asked.

‘A fae bond is like a counterpart of a werewolf mate, Your Majesty. Complete emptiness reigns over the one left behind and could never be healed,’ he explained and I understood quickly. Although I didn’t think my mother was my father’s true mate, he was still left utterly depressed with her betrayal and eventual death. He never functioned well as the king thereafter, the same as Queen Adna’s case.

Fucking love. Such emotion was deadly.

Unfortunately for me, it had already made its tight dead grip around my heart. But was I worried? Hell fucking no. I was willing to be under Love’s control if it meant Serena as my true mate. She was worthy of my sacrifice.

‘Why ask me such a request when you know I care less of what the fae kingdom turns into?’ I questioned Nevannir again, returning to the original topic.

‘What if my hunch is right, Your Majesty?’ There was suddenly determination in his eyes. ‘What if your beloved queen turns out to be someone of importance in Ehnrelil? I told you already, these spirit creatures know their master more than a hundred percent. I myself felt some connection to her, but something hinders me from ever finding that out.’

I hastened to understand his words and hell, he had a point. He fucking had a point.
