Upon entering the library, I see a tall, good-looking prince with a wide smile on his face. I grimace in recognition of the fact that I have informed him that we should no longer be seeing each other. There will be a time when I will be leaving, and he will find his true mate. We are already hurting too much by not being able to see each other; however, we will be all the better for having split up now.
Due to the importance of this event in the kingdom, we had to sneak around to see each other. This in itself indicates that he is only in love with me for a short period of time, since he has not had the courage to tell everyone he is in love with me. It is my responsibility to be strong and act as though I do not care emotionally for him at all.
I asked with a straight face, "Cadma, what are you doing here?"
Smirking and leaning against a post, he asked, "What?" Why can't I visit my favorite librarian?"
Sighing, I said, "Cadma, if you are just looking for research material or reading material. I will assist you in searching for the information you require on a computer. Once you have printed it, one of the ladies at the desk will assist you." Sighing, I left him standing there dumbfounded as I walked away.
At this point, he will grab a she-dragon and begin lip-locking with her, in an effort to make me jealous. It is truly sad that he is so childish. As a result, I do not turn around and act as if I did not notice. My heart goes out to the girl, she may think she has found a prince, but all it is was that he is using her as a means of obtaining me. The situation is really sad.
Then I proceed to my office, as I am the person responsible for doing all the genealogical research as well as for the instructors at the various dragon universities.
There have been many times when I have wanted to conduct research on the various packs using their private websites. In order to do so, I will need to obtain a code from Alpha verifying that I am a pack member. The information I provide about my pack will provide my enemies with a map to locate me if I state my pack name.
On the dragon's private internet, I did my best to research the different wolf packs. In order for me to be successful, I had to begin and find packs that would join me in my fight. The truth is that I initially did not want to pursue this, but after learning from the shadow warriors that the Kingdom indeed exists and that the new King is cruel, I decided to pursue it.
An innocent person is selected from a lottery each month by the new king. After the name is selected, the person has the option of choosing how they wish to die. Public hanging, guillotine, gunfire, electric shock, or poisoning are examples of public executions. In recent years, there have been a number of public murders that serve as a warning to those who follow not to deviate from the path. As a result, the kingdom is now hesitant to challenge him. As soon as a beheading occurs, he sticks the head on a spear and has the soldiers parade it to the various packs. The moment I saw this information, I couldn't keep the bile from rising in my throat. Over the course of an hour, I vomited.
As their true queen, I was selfish. While I may leave before my 18th birthday, I do not wish to leave my brother behind, and I still need to build a strong army before I leave.
It has been decided that I will meet with the King, Queen, My Shadow Warriors, Rector the royal warrior, and see how they can assist me. During my journey, I will be attempting to save my kingdom. As well as a sense of fear, there is also a sense of determination. Despite my best efforts, I have ignored the kingdom for much too long. The kingdom is my children who need me.
Two weeks have passed, and the meeting is at hand. We all sit at a long table, in a room that is sound proofed. I asked the King to have a projector set up, I had created a video of the events happening in the western kingdom under the now ruling king.
I put in my USB drive and the technician found the video I had created. This video shows the various atrocities the new king has been doing. I saw the queen take a trash can and throw up, especially when the little 3-year-old girl was beheaded, and her head was on a staff parading her head. The parents screaming for their child in the background and gunshots could be heard killing the parents. Leaving the remaining pups orphaned. The men also looked grey from such a sight. The shadow warriors had already seen this firsthand, and still looked disturbed.
"Your highnesses, I no longer can in good conscious stay here and let my kingdom suffer. I am asking for your help. I need to find out who my allies are most likely, and if I could take some Dragon warriors with me as well?"
The Queen began crying, "Dear I have always looked at you as the daughter I never had. I just kept baring boys. That king is horrible, and he could kill you just like those under his leadership and you are still so young."
"Due to my selfishness, I haven't looked for the truth about what happened to my people because I don't want to leave this kingdom. You're my family, but I've got to take care of my people too. Soon I'll be eighteen, and I know other young kings or queens who took over their kingdoms much younger because of losing parents in wars."
"I love you all," I try not to cry. "But we all have a destiny, and mine is to protect my kingdom. My parents' deaths wouldn't mean anything if I didn't come back and rescue them. They don't just look like me, they share DNA with me. I could only imagine that my people gave up hope of my return to save them."
Both the King and Queen were now crying, but they nodded their heads in recognition that I was right.
There was pride in my warriors' eyes, they both gave me their oaths of service. I smiled and I continued to speak.
"The subject of my brother, when will his DNA come back?"
I see the King shrugged his shoulders as he was unsure.
As I continue to speak, I state, "I will help in the research and find out who his biological parents are. It is my responsibility to ensure that my brother is taken care of if they are still alive and worthy of my brother. It is the most painful thing for me to leave my brother behind, and I know it will be equally painful for Gandor. It is likely that he will continue to live with Nana if we are unable to locate his parents. "She and her mate appear to really enjoy living here. Would that be okay with you, your highness?"
It is difficult for the king to hold back his tears as he chokes out my name, "Ashina". Our kingdom's warriors, supplies, and witches are at your disposal. It is my hope that you will continue to see us as family when you become Queen."
As I stand up crying, I hug both the King and Queen.
"After we determine my brother's parentage, my men and I will prepare to depart for our mission."
Looking at the Shadow warriors, "I need you to find allies and negotiate with them to ensure that we are allowed to remain on their lands. Please inform them that wolves and dragons will be fighting together."
"Rector, I would like you to travel with the shadow warriors and train the men that we will be taking from each pack. To ensure that there are no traitors, take a witch. The moment they mention anything about us, their tongues will fall out. "Rector smiled and bowed, "Yes your highness."
At first, I thought he was joking around when my head popped up looking at him. What I observed instead was a man bowing in respect and waiting for me to tell him to remain as he was, and it was the same throughout the room.
You do not have to bow before me, guys. Currently, we are colleagues and family saving our kingdom. There is no one who will hold my heart more tightly than all of you in this room at this moment."
"I am fairly certain that I am speaking for all of us here," says Rector. Your status as Queen of the Dark Moon Kingdom has been confirmed, and we bow before you."
As my men bow before me, tears flow down my cheeks.
A couple of weeks have passed, and my men have completed the journeys I had assigned them.
The King called me into his office and handed me an envelope. A knot formed in my stomach as I realized what it was. The DNA analysis of Gandor revealed the following results
