Chapter 19
Eros entered the office accompanied by two people, who bowed to the queen.
“Your Majesty, they are Aragne Boss, who came with a message from the nymph colony, and he is the alpha of the Regen pack. They request a meeting with the queen urgently.
Danna rose from her seat and politely expressed.
“I’m Danna, the queen of the Northlands, I’m here to listen to you.
“Your Majesty, a new danger has arisen to the herds, and it is imperative that you should know it,” Eros said, pointing to the seats to the newcomers. Then he continued. Queen, this is Tithonus, the alpha of the Regen pack. Their people were attacked last night.
“Nice to meet you in person, Your Majesty. “I’m a faithful devotee of the queen,” the man said, his eyes downcast.
“Just tell me, Danna. “Tell me what happened and how your people are,” replied the queen, looking at Tithonus with concern in her eyes.
Titono heaved a great sigh of pain, and in a trembling voice began to relate:
“My pack is close to the herd of the tyrant Edon. Last night, my people were attacked by a lion-like creature with wings and large teeth with pronounced fangs. We tried to attack it, but it was a monster that killed wolves with a single bite. I had to get my people out of the pack so I could save them from a painful death. I lost a lot of wolves and here I am in the alpha leader’s pack to ask for help.
“Queen, I have already conversed with Alpha Tithonus and will provide him with a plot of land so that his pack can stay while we find a way to defeat that beast,” Eros explained from his seat, with a hint of disappointment in his heart, as he had not yet allowed him to tweet it.
Danna was worried about this new danger affecting the region. If he didn’t come up with a plan to defeat Edon, his people might also be affected by this creature.
“Alpha Tithonus, first thing tomorrow morning one of my warriors will lead you to the Kingdom of Dawn. My wild wolves guard the region. They will be safer there than they are here.
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for being a kind and compassionate queen. I retreat to check on the wounded wolves.” The man came out with a hopeful smile.
Aragne didn’t take his eyes off Danna. She was amazed by the aura emanating from her. When she saw that Tithonus had gone, she said, in a warm voice:
“Your Majesty, let me introduce myself. I’m Aragne Boss, nymph of the colony. I come on behalf of the Morgan, the Sylph who is in charge of the colony until the queen of the forest nymphs and fairies takes her place.
“Hello, my pleasure Aragne. Just tell me Danna. What brings you here?
“Danna, I have come to warn you to protect the queen empress from the fairies of a mystical creature. The colony is not safe. We were almost wiped out by a creature called Maticola. She was imprisoned for years in a cave by the god Helium but has been freed by Edon. It is a monstrous animal with a human face. Its body is like that of a huge, towering lion, and its tail carries a sinister scorpion sting. It moves perfectly through the darkness. He is not a being endowed with the slightest intelligence. He takes orders from Edon, whom he considers his master.
Danna’s eyes turned into a pair of night-black stars. I was furious, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing at the time.
“I’m not going to allow this. It’s the last time that evil one does anything against his race. I’m going to send for the wild wolves to track down that creature and prevent more deaths.
“We had a she-wolf infiltrated in the Vilkas pack, yes, Danna, in your father’s pack. From that she-wolf we learn of Edon’s plans with the creature. Since he has no will of his own, he does not resist his master’s wishes. He uses it every night to drive wolves off their land in exchange for providing him with plenty of food. We also learn that he wants to destroy empires and be the sole ruler in the wolf lands. Humans have supplied him with souls with silver bullets and aconite poison in the tips of their arrows, so you have to be careful with that,” Aragne finished recounting.
“Your Majesty, after the introduction of the alphas and their warriors, we will meet alone with the leaders of the packs to come up with a plan of defense,” Eros said, clearly angry. You’ll take care of keeping the pack and my puppy safe. I will command the wolves in battle.
“Not at all, Eros. You can’t stop me from going. I’m not going to let that wolf achieve its goals. My beasts will be with you and it’s not the first time I’ve fought in battle.
While they were talking, the door suddenly opened and a small figure rushed into the office and threw himself into Eros’ arms to say.
“Handsome Alpha, take me to the wounded who came to the pack today.” Eos has to help them heal their wounds.
A shiver ran through Aragne’s body, and she put her hand to her mouth in astonishment. He couldn’t believe his eyes: an energy that gave him a sense of submission and tranquility. There she was, the one the magical creatures had always been waiting for. She was silent, amazed. His people would be happy when he told them that he had met the Empress of the Forest.
“Daughter, what are you saying?” Why do you go into the office where the adults are talking?
“Mommy, excuse me. It’s just that the pretty lady in my dream told me that some wounded wolves arrived and needed my help. You know that my little hands can heal them, as I healed you. Do you remember, Mommy? He said, pouting monumentally.
Danna was incredulous at what she heard. He didn’t want his daughter to see disastrous wounds, but he couldn’t do anything against the designs of the goddess Selene. He heaved a sigh of resignation and, with concern reflected in his eyes, said.
“Alpha Eros, take the princess with the wounded. She’ll know what to do.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Eros was stunned by what he heard, and at the same time, he was afraid for his puppy. She didn’t understand why her little daughter was so magical. She didn’t know what they were going to face and her puppy was in the middle of it all. With her large, muscular hands, she held her daughter like a feather and rose from her seat.
“As your majesty orders, I promise you that I will take care of you with my life,” he left restlessly with his daughter in his arms.
Danna could only watch as Eros and his daughter left. He gave a big sigh and then asked Aragne for more details about the people of the colony. After getting the information he needed, he left the office and accompanied Aragne to one of the rooms so he could rest.
