"If we want our innocent people to be protected from the wrath of that beast, the only option is offering him the Princess of Vrishnya" King Richard looked broken as he uttered the words.
"He is a Beast and all he is going to do is make Princess Alora his slave, he will have the maniac evil satisfaction of torturing humans. You can't trade the life of your daughter, believing in his word of sparing lives of innocent people" cried Arthea.
"Arthea, the Kingdom now barely has any man alive. The Kingdom Vrishnya known for its joys, fertile lands and blooming life now has dead bodies everywhere, the Castle is in flames, people are going to starve to death, the treasury is nil and the only way to be alive is to agree with the Beast's deal" King Richard felt heavy.
He was never this helpless in life, he has ran several expeditions in his life, he was hailed as people's ruler and protector of Kingdom, all of that vanished now and what remained is his dead son and his grieving daughter who lost her soon-to-be husband just minutes ahead of her marriage.
"Princess Alora won't be alive, she shouldn't be put at test" Arthea shook her head looking at Princess Alora grieving beside dead body of King Joshua, whom she would have married by now had the Beast not attacked their Kingdom
"What is with this sudden invitation? I think it's in our previous century we had some sort of relation with humans, now all we face is wars and threats then how come we received an invitation for the annual celebrations of their Kingdom's formation? That's a prestigious event for them, what makes them invite the Werewolves they despise?" Alexander quizzed her father.
"Reasons are unknown, I would love to see you attending the celebration. King Gabriel is one of the most powerful emperor's guarding humans and good friendship with him might help things work in our favour. Maybe a good bond between you both will help in mending the strained relations between humans and Werewolves" Emerson spoke, his words very clear and authoritative voice gave in that he wanted this to happen at any cost.
"As you say Father" Alexander accepted.
"Get our troops ready, be well prepared for anything" Emerson asserted.
Nodding his head Alexander made a mental note about the wolves he will be tagging along.
"Why am I feeling so restless? What is messing me up?" Alexander can't help but question his restless mind giving him all negative thoughts.
Walking towards the Practice area reserved for Beta's and other Wolves, Alexander went behind a tree. Shedding his clothes he shifted in his Wolf form, it was a painful experience to him at the start with time he got adjusted to that.
Alexander's personality when he is human form to when he gets into his real wolf form are poles apart. He is dominant, aggressive and maniac as a wolf. Once his huge golden wolf form walked to the centre, all other gazes lowered.
His silver eyes scrutinized as all the wolves assembled in the line, his rough paws crunching the ground beneath, he howled catching attention and turned to his most trusted Beta Alith.
Alexander howled at Alith and he got what he master wanted in minutes.
Alith sprang into the business and quickly picked the best in their wolves to accompany Alexander to the human territory. Growling loudly Alexander instructed the thirty warriors his beta picked. Diving them into five troops, he assigned them basic roles.
Alexander's heart pierced at the sight of his mate having sex with some other. His wolf wriggled and cried to take control over him.
Unable to stand there watching the sight, Alexander turned his heels back and the horses kept in the stable echoed loudly as they saw Alexander exiting the place.
"Nooo…" screamed Arthea.
"For heaven's sake Arthea, keep your voice low" King Richard requested.
With the barbaric incidents that took place, he lost every bit of his energy. His caged hands and swollen eyes conveyed the despair.

"Princess Alora has to be his bride and that's final Arthea. However…" he looked away.
"What is that King?" sensing King Richard's apprehensions Arthea pushed him to speak up.
"You are now aware of our Kingdom crushed under his hands and the deal to make Princess Alora his bride and you might know where our Princess will end up if we send her with him" King Richard sounded too weak
