Chereads / TO LOVE A LYCAN QUEEN / Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4

Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4

The night was heavy with a sense of enchantment, as if the forest held secrets known only to its ancient inhabitants. After a short while Edna opens her eyes as her head feels so heavy, "oh! Oh!! My head!!! Aarrhhg!!!" She complained to herself..."My horse!...where's my horse?!" She asked not knowing who's around. Then she heared a growl like that of a wild animal from behind the trees in the dark. "Don't worry, they won't harm you,...as a matter of fact.....they can't" a gentle male voice replied.

For a moment Edna wondered what he meant by the last part, "what do you mean they can't??!!" She asked,..even though she hasn't seen who's talking to her yet. "But I'm human...." Edna continued. "Is that what you think??!" he replied. Leaving Edna pondering and asking herself what that meant but at the moment all she wants is to move on so she didn't pay any attention to what was said to her.

Edna stumbled through the foliage, her boots crunching against twigs and leaves. Unaware of the grandeur that awaited hee, she said to herself in a low voice, "why did I even think taking this route to the forest was a good idea?? I don't want to waste any more time". And as she was struggling to get up to her feet, Blitzer, ... captain of the Klaven Clan army, loyal to his pack, stepped slowly out from the thick tree leaves into the space close to Edna where the moon shone brightest. As she stumbled upon a clearing, Edna's eyes widened in awe. There, under the glow of the moon, stood the elegant figure of Blitzer, the lycan captain. He possessed an exceptional handsomeness, with short brown hair covering his ears and bright blue eyes that sparkled like the stars above. His presence emanated grace and power, captivating Edna instantly. "Wooooooow" Edna faintly said to herself. " I'm Blitzer,..... Blitzer Sullivan,.. captain of the Lycan Klaven Clan army", he said softly but with authority as he introduced himself she shook off the surprise even as she struggles to walk because she was still badly bruised. " What happened to you??!, You are badly hurt....Seems to me like you need help,...and you seem to have lost your way in the forest and you also need help with finding your way around and out of this forest" the captain said. "I'm Edna Zolkan, General of the army of the Woodward kingdom of the North,..I don't mean any harm, I was framed for a crime I knew nothing about, I was to be executed but I still have a point to prove so I escaped the executioner's axe, chased and I found myself here.....thank you, but I don't need your help good sir!,..I can find my own way out!" Edna replied in a rough but calm voice as he turned to another direction.

" Okay General, Suit yourself!" He said. They both went their separate ways but the attraction between them was clear and real that both didn't forget each other's face. As she staggeringly walks along, Edna whispered to herself "ooooohh!!..by the gods he's very handsome!!!". She stops for a while thinking for a moment that she would get lost even further as she walks along not knowing which direction to follow. She turns to ask for the help she turned down earlier but captain Blitzer already left and disappeared into the mist of the night. Edna followed in their direction tracing their footsteps. She sees Blitzer from afar and yelled out "Heeeeeey!!!!....wait for meeeee!!!...ok now I need that help you offered earlier!!!". "I thought you didn't need my help General?" he asked with a smirk on her face as he waited for her to catch up. "Well,... Captain Blitzer...I'm sorry about that. My mistake, you see I mistook the forest for the streets of Woodward" Edna replied with a funny and comical attitude. Hearing this and looking at her, the Captain laughed at her joke and said "come along General, I can guide you to the path you seek". "The only path I seek now is vengeance and clearing my name!!," Edna replied looking at the captain's handsome face for a moment and said "Thank you captain Blitzer". he looked at Edna , smiled and Without saying a word he nodded as they walked along as at this point she knew that he's already attracted to her.

As the night progressed, the connection between Edna and Blitzer grew stronger. They discovered shared interests, exchanging stories of their pasts, dreams, and aspirations. Edna found herself drawn to the captain's wisdom, his unwavering strength, and his kind-hearted nature. Meanwhile, Blitzer felt a spark, a warmth he had not experienced in a very long time. Edna's genuine curiosity and willingness to understand his world ignited a flame that had long remained dormant within his heart.

Almost at the Klaven Clan border as they walked and talked, "well....we are almost at the border" Before Edna could finish her sentence, her foot caught on a tree root, causing her to stumble forward in a comical fashion. Arms flailing, she landed face first in a patch of wild flowers, "aaaaarrrhgggg!!, What just happened" she said holding her shoulder and waist. The captain couldn't contain his laughter. His voice echoed through the forest, harmonizing with the birds and rustling leaves. Edna, her face now flushed with embarrassment and petals clinging to her hair, sheepishly rose to her feet and smiled.

As they got to the border, Blitzer said "we are here General" pointing to the direction to Edna's left, he continues,.. "take that narrow path,..it leads to a river bank, there you'll see a few boats, make use of one and follow the path of the river to Woodward". "Still close to the forest,..there could be Lycans on the way!" Edna replied.

Hearing what she said, captain Blitzer approached the General, looked into hee eyes and said "you don't know who you are,...do you General!??". "I don't understand what you are talking about" Edna replied with a puzzling look. "I have to go General,..safe travels" he said sofly with a beautiful smile.

As Edna walks along through the path shown to her by Blitzer, she ponders continuously on the captain's words when they first met and after pointing her to the narrow road that leads to the river bank. The captain's words keeps playing in her head when she told him she's human and he said "is that what you think?!" And "you don't know who you are ,...do you General?!"..for Blitzer knew who Edna was from the moment she saw him passed out on the ground in the deep forest. These words made Edna ask so many questions in her mind including why the Lycans didn't attack her in the forest.

As the captain Blitzer heads back to the Klaven castle, the images of Edna's beauty and humor run through his mind. Smiling as the images of Edna's s pretty face, her eyes, her physique and even the sound of her voice filled his mind... Blitzer was already in love with her as it was love at first sight.
