Chapter 105
In the mansion, that day, a commotion was unleashed with the simultaneous arrival of Ares, Gina, Sofia, and Duncan, each escorted by their own warriors. The excitement was palpable in the air. While they were all talking, surprised and furious at the attempted poisoning of the queen. Eda remained in her father’s arms; Suddenly, she broke away from him and turned to ascend the stairs but stopped at the sound of a loving voice.
“I’m fine now, thanks to our life carrier, poor to fight against that black witch who wants to wipe out our family,” she said with a strong look.
When Eda heard her mother’s voice, she took a few steps towards her and hugged her tightly; I needed that affection at that moment.
“No, Mommy! You and Daddy aren’t going anywhere. You two stay here with the guys, protecting the southern empire. Eda and I will be ready to prove that we are daughters and nieces of great warriors,” she blurted out firmly, setting a courageous tone in the conversation.
“You’re not going to leave us behind. Sorry for the delay, Don Draco had to leave the desk tidy,” Dylan said with a tone of amusement.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Stop talking stupid things, and yes, cousin, we’re going with you to this battle,” he said decisively. Heracles remarked, rolling his eyes in annoyance.
Eda separated from her mom and went outside to hug her cousins. I hadn’t seen them for more than two years, and I’d missed them many times: their conversations and their games. When he reached them, he threw himself on top of them, leaving the three of them united in an embrace that reflected the reunion after such a long time.
“Guys, how I missed you. I’m glad to see you,” Eda said excitedly as tears rolled down her cheeks as she parted from them.
“This is the last straw, Eda. Your mom was about to die and you don’t cry, but you see this pair of vermin and you get like this,” Gina blurted out with a hint of sarcasm.
“Auntie! These two big guys.” He looked at them fondly, wiping the excess tears from his face. I missed them so much: our conversations, our three-way moments, our games. He walked over and ruffled Heracles’ hair, adding in a playful tone. I missed messing with this grumpy guy. I see that Dylan knew how to fill in for me.
“We’ve missed you, too. I was surprised that the mischievous Eda had allowed herself to be dominated by her mate,” Heracles added, amused.
“Me too,” Dylan laughed. He tightened your leash, that wolf. You have to tell us about your life in the city and why you stopped communicating with us,” he finished with narrowed eyes, showing curiosity.
Eda blushed. It wasn’t because Magnus had forbidden him to, but because his life had changed. Now it wasn’t just her; there were also Magnus, Mateo, and the veterinary clinic, which left him little time for the others.
Those present were amused by the boys’ comments, but Eros intervened, marking the beginning of a new twist in the conversation.
“Guys, we’re glad you’re reunited, but we have a battle to fight. I have been informed that the Vilkas herd is being closed, practically impenetrable. They have only seen renegade wolves and mercenaries enter. “Morgan and the mystical creatures are coming this way,” Eros announced in a serious tone, and looking at his daughter with regret he continued. It seems that the nature around the Vilkas herd is dying, and some creatures have been affected. I’ve already given the order for them to move into this empire until we put an end to this plague that’s going to consume us if we don’t act.
“Eos proposes that Eros, Duncan, Ares, Gina, Sofia and I stay in this empire strengthening this region so that Sofia doesn’t infiltrate wolves and attack us, as in my case with poison,” Danna said, contributing a strategy to deal with the threat.
“I agree. It’s my brother’s life that’s in danger, and I want to participate in this battle against that woman,” Ares blurted out, his eyes dark, revealing his anger.
“Dad, as Eos said, let us show you that we can handle this battle. If you need help, be prepared. We are the future leaders of these empires, and we want to prove that we are worthy to rule like our fathers,” Heracles blurted out with a serious look and a haughty forehead, expressing his desire to prove his courage, and put into practice what he learned from his grandfather.
Ares didn’t agree that they were going only against that witch. They were just young people who had not lived through wars and evil until now. He went to protest when he felt his hand being squeezed.
“My love, our son is right. How do you want them to be a good leader if you don’t let them make decisions and fight alone? We will be from a distance supporting them. If we see that they can’t, we’ll all step in. But let’s trust the good wolves we’ve raised,” Gina argued, proud of the brave boys in front of her.
“I understand my friend, I’m also afraid that my daughters will face that evil alone,” Danna said with a resigned sigh, exposing her maternal concern, “But I want to trust them and the power that the goddess Moon has given them. I support them, the guys. Maya and I were her ages when we faced great challenges. It’s time for us to trust our puppies.
Duncan, who had remained silent, looked at everyone and intervened wisely.
“Guys, we’re proud of the wolves they’ve become. Now it’s up to them to put their skills into practice and others to find out what they are. So, we’re going to organize ourselves on how they should intervene in that herd. That witch is planning something ugly, and you must act as soon as possible. So, let’s go.
Danna gently took Eda’s hand and led it to a secluded corner; She needed to share a few words alone with her daughter in the midst of the turmoil. Meanwhile, Eos withdrew with Galilee, Aragne and Dionysia, they were to talk about the powers of a nymph empress.
At the other end, Dylan and Heracles moved forward toward the battlefield, accompanied by Maya, Eros, Ares, and Duncan. Seriousness was reflected in their faces, as they prepared for the battle that was about to be unleashed, they were aware of the importance of their mission and the danger that stalked their family.
