The journey had been agonizing for both Malzahar and Silos. The Lycan king had been on edge since it began, and Silos for a reason was also feeling uneasy.
" What's gotten into your ass this evening, huh?"Silos asked his lycan after a fifteen-minute of silence.
" What's it to you?" Fenrik asked, sarcasm lacing his words.
" Listen here, old man, I'm gonna ask you one last time. And if you don't answer me, I'm gonna burn your old a*s up. Now what's the problem?"
Fenrik rolled his eyes and turned his back to him before replying. " An old man, huh? Yet you keep needing me to clean up your messes pup.
" Silos rolled his eyes and smirked at him. "Of course Fenrik, you seem to get solutions to everything" Fenrik yawned and closed his eyes " Careful with that mouth kiddo, or one day your cooky attitude will get you mated to someone you can't handle"
The Lycan gradually closed his eyes to sleep.
" He's right you know" Malzahar's voice broke his attention. " Really man, you need to stop doing that" Silos playfully punched his arm and they both chuckled. " I wasn't the one who asked you to let your guard down" Silos scoffed and turned away his face.
As they got near, they saw people running in that direction. " What in the world?" Malzahar whispered. " Excuse me, what is going on? And where are you running off to?" Silos called out to an old man who was also running with them.
" The alpha called for a trial, to punish someone," He said breathlessly, Silos looked at Malzahar and turned back his attention to the old man. " Punishing someone at this time of the night? Who does that?" He whispered and thanked the man before rolling the window up.
" Hurry mate is in trouble, you gotta help mate" Drakon suddenly chipped in. Malzahar not waiting for any more chances stepped on the accelerator and dashed toward that direction.
" Hey man, are you trying to get us killed or what?" Silos called out in agony. " My mate needs me now" He gritted his teeth and clutched the steering wheel.
" Aw, get there quickly" Silos felt his heart leap in joy at the thought of kicking some a*ses. " We are going to get our queen, not to kill anyone". He heard Fenrik snort. " I didn't ask you, old man, get some sleep. I might need you. Although I am sure that I can handle them alone. You are just a backup " Fenrik retreated with a mischievous look on his face. Malzahar couldn't wait anymore as he impatiently drummed his fingers. His friend looked at him and smirked with an evil grin on his face.
ON THE OTHER SIDE.
" The reports are here alpha, it's positive. She's Pregnant " The doctor announced. " Please alpha, please show mercy" Maeve ran to Derek the alpha of The MoonFire Pack. " You know the law Maeve, no she-wolves are allowed to mate with any other male apart from her mate. And your daughter broke it now she has to face the consequences" Derek replied emotionless. " Come on sweetie, I know she broke the laws of the pack. But we can settle it without any punishments" The Luna rushed to her aid but a look from the alpha was enough to make her silence.
" Guards, take her away. I expect the people to be here in 10 minutes"
The guards burst in, rushing towards Liorawho was smiling softly, both hands cradling her stomach. The feeling was new but exciting. She could feel the bubble of joy, bubbling from inside her" Did you hear that Nyra? We are pregnant. A baby is growing inside me." Liora whispered, her voice trembling along with her hands" Yes my spark, a tiny little creature. Our tiny little creature" Nyra answered with her usual soft and warm voice. " But I still play with my plushies and mess up my braids. Will I be able to take care of it?" Liora's eyes widened with wonder.
Nyra chuckled and nodded with a proud look." You were born for this, little one, love has no age and permission. The Moon goddess chose it for you, for an unknown reason" Nyra's smooth and warm voice breezed in her heart. " Is it a girl? I want it to be a boy, just like his dad. Handsome and gentle" The girl looked down at her stomach with a big smile on her face. " It's too early to know that" Nyra chuckled at Liora's enthusiasm. " But you both have the same fire living in you." A minute of silence took over. " I want to braid her hair if it's a girl." She beamed, but the moment was cut short by the guards.
" You are hurting me" She winced as they roughly pulled her. Maeve stepped in front of them, but they shoved her hard, sending her crashing to the hard surface
" Don't touch my mum" Liora stepped on the guard's feet and tried to rush to her mother but the guard's grip was very firm.
" Hey, take it easy," Lyanna said in a firm tone. They began to drag her out.
" Leave me I can walk " They ignored her as she attempted to break free from them.
" Shhh, take it easy, child. They won't lay a finger on you" "Nyra's voice was calm and confident. " Why won't I be worried? I and my baby's lives are in danger. Liora lashed on Nyra as they were being taken to the hall.
" That's no ordinary baby, It's an heir to the throne. No harm shall befall you" Nyra explained. ". But who is going to stop this, my mate is not here." Her heart hammered against her chest.
Nyra rolled her eyes and retreated, but soon she heard her mother's voice yelling from behind. " Please let's settle it, we'll leave this pack. Just don't hurt her" Her voice was muffled by the crowd surrounding the place.
" Silence, we all know the laws of this pack. No females are allowed to mate with anyone apart from their mate, but Liora didn't only mate she is also pregnant with a bas*ard" Gasps filled the crowd. " What? She did" A man in the crowd asked in surprise.
Liora was calm and held her head proudly.
" She needs to be punished, no one is above the law" A female yelled out from the crowd getting nods of approval from the crowd.
Luna and her four children stood beside him feeling helpless about the situation.
" I can assure you that, none of you will lay a finger on me. He will punish you all, he will be here. Liora announced proudly. " She's not even showing rumors for breaking the law. She should be punished right this moment" Another female from the crowd said in rage.
