Chapter 76
The Queen’s entrance caused a shock in all present. Euclid, visibly nervous, felt cold sweat bead on his forehead. Uncertainty hung in the air, for the messenger was supposed to deliver the parcel sent to the queen today. However, Euclid, with an innate ability to dissemble, rose from his seat with an enigmatic smile, he said.
“Your Majesty, we did not expect you in our pack to-day, what a pleasant surprise you have given us! Welcome. Confidently, he walked to the other side of the table and pulled out a chair. Sit down here, please. He added, inviting the queen to take a seat.
Danna, showing no trepidation, replied firmly.
“Don’t worry, I’ll sit next to Ares.” He walked forward with an elegance that was impressive, his gaze reflecting seriousness and courage. Ares, who was standing, relinquished the presidential chair instantly, allowing the queen to take her place.
“Sit here, you’ll be more comfortable,” said Ares, who helped Danna to her feet and stood next to her. The room was filled with anticipation as the other men waited anxiously to find out what was going to happen.
Danna broke the tense silence with a defiant statement.
“Hello, gentlemen, I know you weren’t expecting me, but I invited myself. His cold, haughty gaze swept over the men present before turning to Euclid. On the way I met the messenger who delivered his message to me Euclid, but I came personally to have him explain its contents to me.
Euclid, with a sigh of resignation, cleared his throat to say.
“Your majesty! He took a deep breath before continuing. We’re sorry you’re here at a bad time. We were discussing Ares’ mismanagement of this pack. Terrible things have happened, not to mention the Moon Gina. “She imagined that she was imprisoned right now and is probably dead, though she couldn’t mention it without confirmation.” She’s not a worthy she-wolf for that position of Moon of the Dawn pack. She’s very insecure, she’s put the pack looking for her because she felt like chasing a rabbit and she’s fired employees with years of service in their positions, on a whim.
Danna settled back in her chair, still keeping her gaze fixed on the documents in her hands. The tension in the room was palpable when he finally spoke.
“That’s not irrelevant. I was hoping for a better answer. What does this all mean?
Euclid, aware of the gravity of the situation, began to detail the contents of each report in a firm and precise voice. The meeting continued under the watchful eye of the Queen.
While this was going on in the offices of the ruler of the pack. Gina was being pushed into the barn; a sudden turn of events surprised everyone. A sword pierced the neck of the man who was leading it, who fell heavily at the Omega’s feet.
“You thought you were going to have fun alone,” Helena blurted out with a mischievous look in her eyes as she threw another sword at Gina. The latter received it with enthusiasm.
Confusion reigned on the scene, while Iris, confused and enraged by Helena’s intervention, signaled the men to attack. Tensions rose, and an imminent showdown was about to break out.
Two men drew their swords and advanced toward Gina and Helena, who exchanged daring glances before launching into combat. One of the men, with malice in his voice, scoffed.
“Boys, I think we’ll feast on these two tender beasts.
Gina, full of courage and adrenaline, grunted excitedly.
“You’re going to know the sound of steel entering your flesh.
The man in front of Gina was part of one of the so-called disgraced families, he muttered contemptuously.
“I don’t care if you’re the moon of this pack. I love Omegas like you.
Without hesitation, Gina responded with a defiant smile and began an attack with her sword that left the man completely shocked.
“Well, you’ll love to fight me.” “His prowess in combat was evident as he faced his adversary with courage.
The second man, with a more sinister tone of voice, declared.
“My intention is to test you before I kill you.
Helena, without hesitation, replied with a firm and defiant tone.
“Dare to lay a hand on me and you’ll know what I’m capable of.” Wasting no time, Helena rushed to the attack with impressive ferocity. His skills in combat were worthy of admiration. The man tried to fight back, but his sword flew past Helena. At that precise moment, she seized the opportunity, quickly crouched down, and plunged her sword into the man’s stomach with lethal dexterity.
As Gina wielded her sword with the skill Jonah had taught her, she managed to finish off the man in front of her, mercilessly thrusting the sword into his heart. The mastery of his action was a testimony of self-improvement. The scene was a true reflection of both women’s power of survival. Gina looked around and saw that Helena had already defeated two men with the ferocity of a wild she-wolf.
Just as two men approached Gina with swords in hand, a surprise figure appeared out of nowhere. It was Jonah, who drew his swords and grunted in anger.
“That’s cheating, two men for one woman. They don’t seem to have any balls. Jonah shouted as he kept his gaze fixed on the men. Without hesitation, he lunged towards them to face them face to face as he said. Gina! Go get Iris before she escapes. We take care of these men.
Iris, watching from a distance the scene in which there were already four dead men and a warrior helping the women, made a quick decision. He ran out into the shed and yanked open the door before hurtling into the nearby woods. She held out hope that those wolves would pounce on those present. Then he ran without looking back.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Suddenly, three towering creatures emerged from the darkness of that shed: two of a shade of brown and a third of black fur. They emitted a deep growl that showed their sharp fangs, making the skin crawl of everyone present at the scene.
Paralysis gripped everyone, including Gina, who didn’t have time to chase after Iris. The six men, in confusion and terror, chose to flee precipitately, but the ferocious beasts soon rushed upon them, tearing them apart without giving them time to transform. The brutality of the attack stunned Gina, Helena, and Jonah, who slowly drew the two women to him. They didn’t know what to do, you could tell that these creatures were hungry and at that moment they were just abused animals.
“Don’t worry, girls, don’t show them fear. His words were an attempt to remain calm, Jonah was aware of the gravity. The three beasts were out of control and had to avoid an impulsive reaction.
However, the beasts, having eliminated the men, turned their attention to them. At that moment, a fourth beast emerged from the forest and quickly positioned itself in front of the people, emitting intimidating grunts. The other three animals also showed signs of aggression, growling frantically. The situation was far from resolved, and the danger remained imminent.
Gina, excited and grateful, gently stroked the beast’s fur and murmured.
“Million, you came to save us. His gesture of affection seemed to calm the animal.
The other three beasts, observing this act of kindness, softened their grunts and relaxed their posture. It was then that, without warning, all the beasts rushed into the forest.
Helena, with a disgusted expression on her face, questioned.
“A million?” Poor animal, wasn’t there a prettier name?
The animal turned to Helena and grunted at her words. Helena raised her hands in peace, ready to gain the animal’s trust.
“Okay, if you like it, so do I.
Million, come on. Come with me hunting. Gina commented, eager to go after Iris. However, instead of continuing on foot, Million crouched down as a signal for him to ride on his back.
Gina, somewhat surprised, climbed up carefully, holding on to the animal’s neck. Million picked her up and ran through the forest, taking her on a thrilling run through the dense trees.
