Gallien voice was broken from inside when he smelled and recognised his mate scent. His beast is calming inside him. It was not easy for him to control his beast without his mate for past few years. The pain was sharp in his body. He was physically and mentally hurt. Reality hits him hard when he muttered...
"MY LUNA"
By gathering all his strength. He stood again in his wolf form. He was seeing in the direction where he sniffed his mate scent.
Everyone in the ground, saw the arrow pierced the wolf body. By seeing the arrow, they didn't take much time to realize, the arrow was belonged to their young princess. She stood their by carrying deadly aura. The soldiers parted by giving her way. Her face was hidden in mask. She was walking firmly in rain. Her fist is clenched tightly in anger.
Gallien eye's met her emerald eye which reminds him of chill dark forest. His beast calmed inside him. The feeling was new and pure. By seeing her, the sudden urge to protect her and mark her was his first motive. He want to hug her tightly and cry desperately before he heard one of the guard voice
"Princ...." the guard's sentence was cutted when Sirius shot him a dagger look.
Sirius knows very well. It's not good to expose the identity of his sister infront of this Lycan. Otherwise...
Sirius came to sense when he saw her sister stood before that Lycan. His mind alarmed him. He ran near her sister and took her wrist and grabbed her to another side. She chuckled inwardly by seeing her brother's protection. Normally, she wears pant with loose shirt along with her golden mask when she comes outside. So, no one could predict the person is women or men.
"Prince....?" Gallien scoffed inwardly. His wolf hair got goosebumps by realizing his mate was male.
He never in his dream thought moon goddess could curse him by giving him male mate as a soulmate... "It's so disgusting! How could this be... Is it a joke or what!" he thought inwardly. He was confused but at the same time he was damn sure it was his mate scent which is also coming from that male... So, he realized that prince was his mate. He laughed mockingly by realizing his own fate. Now, he want to ruin everything and also he want to ruin himself...
"It was far better than having any mate..." his eye's blazed with rage.
By seeing Selene, everyone kneeled and put one hand in their heart and bowed in respect.
"Prince Helen! Pardon us for our negligence and carelessness. It won't happen again...!" One of the soldier spoke by gathering his courage.
Everyone knows she is a girl but no one dared to spout her name in public. Her fighting skills must not be underestimated. She was an outstanding warrior with sharp mind. She can easily knock 10 soldiers without using her strength. Because, she was practicing hardly since childhood. Even, Sirius will fail infront of her strength.
The Ruritania people loves her dearly. They were even ready to sacrifice their own life for her. They consider her as their family. She considered them as one.
Selene eye's hardened by seeing the guards who failed to protect the king but she can't rude to them. She waved her hand to dismiss them. With her order, Everyone went to their place. The wolf was again imprisoned but this time with thick shackles and chains. So, that could not escape from the hold.
"Father, Are you alright!" Sirius asked in worried tone.
"Yes dear! I'm alright" King oliver replied.
Whereas, Selene eye's never left from the Lycan's. She saw it was bleeding heavily but she know lycan's has the ability to cure themselves. She felt something strange about it. Lycantropes were hiding from the human realm because of the fear of hunters. How could it be possible for the guards to caught one. She saw the mark on his neck. But, she pretends like she didn't notice the mark.
Gallien was hardly controlling his beast. The intense gaze from his mate couldn't help him to calm down. He really wanted to mark on her. But, he forcely shaked his head by thinking his mate was male. The thought of marking him left him in disgust.
He can feel his mate calmness. But, the calmness of his mate left more impact on him. Suddenly, his mate calmness changed into confusion, he realized something his mate noticed on him. But, he could not understand what was that.
"Helen! What are you doing? Let's move from here! It's not safe here" Sirius glanced at the wolf and wrapped his hand around her shoulder securely.
Gallien scoffed inwardly by seeing their affection. But, something inside him wants to pounce at Sirius and slit his hand from his mate body. His eyes reddened by seeing his hand but he quickly adjusted his eyes by realizing the reality that his mate was an male.
It's really impossible for him to execute his plan while his mate feeling is interfering. He have to calm his beast first of all he thought to himself.
Selene walked back with her brother. After she entered inside she shouted at her brother.
"Brother! What the hell is going on? How is it possible to the guards to capture the Lycan and also from the royal blood! Isn't it strange!" Selene lost her temper.
"R-Royal b-blood" Sirius and king Oliver asked in same tone, shocked.
Sirius narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who told you that?"
"Brother! I don't need anyone to inform me! I saw the mark on his neck and it was half red moon. So, absolutely it is from the royal blood" Selene rolled her eyes at her brother.
"My dear sister! I will take care of that issue. So, you don't have to worry" Sirius patted her sister shoulder.
She tilted her head and said, "Then I will excuse myself"
She went to her room. The maids helped her to change her clothes and she went to sleep but something irking her mind. Something about that wolf was not right?
She was bothered by the wolf confidence which saw in his eyes.. She suddenly muttered by remembering something....
" SHIT!...."
