At the kingdom of Renada.
It had been a few days since Louis and Travis had arrived at the kingdom of Renada again along with the warriors from Ideni accompanying them. However, they had been unable to enter the castle, let alone meet the Alpha of the kingdom. Every time, they sought his presence, the old Alpha would refuse their request on the pretext of handling important court matters.
At first, they had only suspected of lying to them. But now, after consistent rejection from him, they were sure that he was avoiding them on purpose. His guilt was gnawing him alive and their sudden presence in Renada had only made him all the more nervous and alert.
Louis and Travis stood outside the castle as they waited for the guards to convey their requests to meet the Alpha again. While they waited for the message to reach the man, they looked around, not even caring about the blazing sun that was burning their skin.
