My Werewolf Prince's

West Virginia

West Virginia

Roger sat on a log. He waited for Kei's arrival earlier but Kei was nowhere to be seen. Bruce was starting to worry. He came to Roger after checking the surroundings.

"Alpha, it's almost noon. What if they don't come?" ask Bruce.

"No, I'm sure they'll come" said Roger, who was completely against his heart. He wasn't sure Kei was coming. If he's in Kei's position, of course he'll come. For his pride. But Kei is different from Roger and he knows it. So he wasn't sure if Kei would come or not. Teenagers are hard to guess. Roger sighed for the umpteenth time. He tried to convince her of the opposite heart.

"Are you okay alpha? It seems you are so anxious." asked Bruce who looked at Roger's concerns.

"I'm good Bruce. Don't worry." said Roger but the look on his face and heart said something else.

Ian stood on the brink. He's waiting for Kei to arrive. They agreed to meet there. They were forced to leave separately, so that others would not know their plans.

"Ian.." call Kei. Ian looked. "Are you ready?"

"Sure, what about you?"

Kei walked over to Ian. He carried a backpack on his back. "me too. But this possibility is indeed a trap as you say, so we should be prepared for the worst."

"Hm... Yep. I hope it's just my gut feeling." murmured Ian.

"I hope so too."

"Then.. What are we going there with? We don't have time anymore. We won't make it in time to turn into wolves."

"I knew. That's why I asked someone for help."

"really? Who?"

"I."

Ian and Kei turned towards the sound. Livia walked up to them. He wore jeans with a wide-leg cropped style in dark blue paired with a light green sweater.

"Are you sure about this?" ask Livia. He frowned.

"Of course we're sure." Kei replied. Livia breathed.

"alright. Are you guys ready?" ask Livia. Kei and Ian nodded in unison. Livia holds Ian and Kei. "We're leaving."

"Teleportatian."

They disappeared from the ravine, floated for a moment then appeared in a forest. The forest is different than before.

"Is this West Virgina?" ask Ian.

"Of course, I've been trained to teleport" Livia said slightly offended.

"Ah hahaha.... I'm sorry." said Ian as he scratched his non-itchy neck.

"Where are you going to meet him?" ask Livia.

"I don't know. But I think I smell werewolves here" Kei said.

"Then just follow the smell. While you guys are gone I will try to follow slowly. Can I ask for a little blood?" ask Livia.

"My blood? What's for?" kei asked confusedly.

"So I can track you. So I know your position. If I knew your position, I would be able to put this red ribbon on some trees as close as possible to your position. You can find and follow the red ribbon to see me. Because I can't get close to you. They'll smell me." Livia explained. Kei and Ian nodded their heads.

"alright. It's.." Kei handed over his hand. Livia took a small knife and slightly injured Kei's index finger and took his blood and placed it in a small bottle.

"Here you go." said Livia.

"Are you sure that's enough?" Kei pointed at the bottle containing his blood.

"Enough. Go, you'll be late."

"All right, we're leaving. Thank you." Thank you."

"Don't thank me now, later when you're safe. Remember to follow the red ribbon I tied to the tree." Livia reminded.

"We understand. See you soon."

Kei leaves his backpack with Livia and Ian turns into a wolf and runs into the forest. They kept coming in by following the smell Kei smelled.

Soon Kei arrived in the middle of the forest. From afar he sees alpha Roger and beta Bruce. Roger who knew Kei's arrival instantly smiled sinisterly and stood up. At last..

"Welcome, your majesty" said Roger, bowing slightly.

"Not to get stale with me. Just tell me what you want" said Kei who had turned into a human coldly.

"Aahh forgive me. I'm just being polite" Roger said, smiling cynically. Kei sat on a log while Ian stood by his side. He looked at Roger and Bruce vigilantly.

"Say, what do you want?" Kei tried to look unnerved and weak.

"I wanted to make a bargain for sure" Roger said at last. He sat right in front of Roger.

"Offer?"

"Yes. I know you must want Ordovick, your uncle."

Kei laughed a little. "He's not my uncle anymore" Kei said.

"Ahh I'm sorry. I mean Ordovick, just Ordovick."

"What's wrong with her?"

"He's with me under my pack's protection."

"I know that, then?"

"I'll give it to you" said Roger. Kei frowned. "That's right. Because being under the protection of my pack means she's mine which means I can do anything to her, even kill her and I'll do it for you. Or maybe you want to kill him yourself, I'll leave him to you."

"Why do you want to do that?"

"Well, I know what he's been doing to you, to your brother and your family. So it's appropriate that he be treated like that." said Roger still with a casual tone.

"Then why did you take it and protect it in your pack?"

"Because I thought he'd be useful. But it turns out he's just a useless piece of junk in my pack."

"Are you sure about that?" kei asked trying to convince. Kei looked suspicious of Roger.

"Yes, sure. I can trade it for trash in your pack."

"Junk in my pack? Looks like you misunderstood alpha. I don't have any trash in my pack."

"What about alpha Zach? Or even a bet, Aaron?"

"Why with them?"

"I can trade ordovick for any of them."

Kei laughing.

"You think it's worth it? That's not exactly alpha. Zach and Aaron are the best and most valuable members. While Ordovick?" Kei laughed again. "You're right alpha. He is rubbish. I don't need it. You can do anything with him, I don't care. I think this meeting is over. Let's go Ian."

Kei started to stand up and left.

Meanwhile, Kei.

Livia took the paper out of her bag and put it on the ground.

"Anyatine alluf"

The blank paper became a map of the forest. Livia puts Kei's blood in the middle of the map and Livia casts a spell.

"Cautare, Cassi, marca."

He kept repeating the mantra. Until Kei's blood starts moving. The blood shows where Kei is. The blood kept moving until it finally stopped. Livia rolled up the paper and put it away and pulled out a red ribbon that had been cut into small sizes.

Suddenly there was a loud snarl coming from behind him. Livia surprised. He already knew what that sound was. Livia turned around and found three big wolves before her. One brown hairy, one gray and one white gray. Each wolf snarled.

"Dipercantian!"

Livia points her right hand at the brown wolf on her right. The wolf crashed but before long Livia also crashed. His body hit the tree. Livia grimaced in pain.

The two wolves started attacking Livia again.

"Scut Protectatian!!!"

Livia made an invisible protector. Withstand the attack of the three wolves. But the wolves are so strong.

"Explocida!!"

The invisible protector Livia used broke apart and knocked the three wolves down.

"Candeconsti!"

Livia knocked out the three wolves. He breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he would not be able to fight against those three werewolves. Livia tied the rope to the tree and gave Kei some blood and then cast a spell and made the red ribbon shone for a moment and then returned to normal.

Livj walked back in vigilance. He realized they were not alone here and not only were the three wolves here.

*****

"wait. I'm not finished, your majesty" said Roger, who was still sitting in his place. Kei stopped his steps and stared away. "I just want to find out how much you care about Ordovick and it turns out that my guess is right. You don't care at all. So of course it's not my offer to you."

"Tell me what you want! Don't go around in circles." said Kei impatiently.

"I want Zach and Aaron."

Kei stared in disbelief. "In exchange for Ordivick again?"

"Of course not. Not with that trash. But in exchange for peace."

Kei frowned. "Peace?"

"Yes, your highness. Peace, from me." said Roger. "You and I both know what the end of all this is. War, war and war. No one will want to budge and if there is a war, we know there will be many affected. So I offered my peace. I will even acknowledge you as my king. Just by handing Zach and Aaron over to me."

"Why are you so obsessed with them?"

Yes, Kei is really surprised. Actually Roger just had to give up, leave Zach Aaron and run the pack peacefully. But he chose the hard way.

"Because they've ruined my pride. So I should have wanted to destroy them too." Roger's face turned angry.

"Why? Because he's a pure alpha descendant? I almost killed him if the chosen one didn't interfere at that time" Roger said. Roger stood up from his seat. "So how is your majesty? Those two with our peace. That's a comparable thing. I don't think there's any need for innocent bloodshed, do I?"

Roger grinned. Kei looked at her annoyed.

"I'd rather fight than hand over my men to you."

"Aaahh so you'd rather sacrifice the crowd than give up those two?"

"If that's what we have to do, we will. We fought together to fight for the same."

"Oh, your majesty, don't exaggerate too much. Actually, it's a fight between you and me. Because I don't want to acknowledge you as your king, do I?" guess Roger.

"You're too confident. I don't care if you want to consider me a king or not. I agreed to go to war with you because you've hurt those closest to me."

"What's this about your mate?"

Kei fell silent. He gritted his molars, restraining his anger. Now it's clear, it was all Roger.

"I don't think there's anything else we can talk about. Let's go Ian."

Kei stood up and walked away. He didn't even look at it one bit.

"What exactly does he want? Does he want to buy time or is he planning something?" ian asked after they were quite far away from the meeting location earlier.

"I think he's up to something. Something is strange." muttered Kei.

"What's so weird?"

"He seems to let go of us easily, no... It's easy."

Ian's aware. "Ahh that's right.. That's weird."

Kei and Ian were still walking through the forest. They're looking for a tree tied to a red rope by Livia.

"Uhm... Where is that tree? Are we lost? Looks--"

Kei held onto Ian's hand, holding him back to stop walking.

"There's ap-"

"St...."

Kei was silent listening to something. He sharpened his hearing. Ian did it too.

"Did you hear?" ask Kei.

"Yes, the heartbeat." whispered Ian. "One, two.. Many."

Kei and Ian looked at each other.

"I told you Ian, it's too easy." whispered Kei.

"What should we do?" ask Ian.

"We just ran away Ian, they're a lot. Even if we fight back we will still be overwhelmed." Kei stared quietly around. Kei closed his eyes. He took his breath deep.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll look for Livia's smell with my Lycan eyes" Kei said, still closing his eyes.

"Are you sure you can do it without changing?"

"I don't know. But I have to try, Ian. It's the only way. Only the eyes of the Lycan monster could see sharper, distant and could also discern odors."

Kei opened his eyes. His eyes turned white. He's trying to see. Some were deep red, it was a werewolf. Kei was a little surprised because of their large number. Kei tried to search again.

"Let's hurry, they're getting closer!" said Ian.

Kei's still looking for Livia's smell. Got it! Thin, but he's sure it's Livia. The smell of the witch is bright blue. Kei closed his eyes and reopened them. His eyes turned green again.

"Let's....!! Hurry along!"

"There! Come on!!"

Kei turned into a wolf followed Ian. They ran with Kei leading in front. The wolf from Roger's pack approached. They ran after Kei and Ian. Kei and Ian sped up. Soon they stopped. They lost Livia's smell.

'Where's Kei?'

'I don't know, I can't feel it anymore.'

'They're getting closer.'

There was a loud growling and getting louder. Kei's looking around.

'It's 'That! Red ribbon strap!'

Kei ran again. The enemy wolves were already running beside them. They accelerated his run. The wolf that was running to the left of Kei started to approach. The wolf jumped up and set its foot on a nearby tree then jumped high onto Kei. Kei lowered his head to dodge and succeeded. He avoided the wolf. Kei ran back. He tried to avoid the tree as well as the wolves that tried to attack him. Kei was still running after Livia's red ribbon.

There was a groaning sound from behind him. Kei stopped his run. Ian was attacked by two wolves. He fought them both. The two wolves attacked Ian simultaneously. They flank Ian's body, tried to bite him.

'Dian!!'

Kei tried to help. Ian forbade it.

'No Kei, go.'

Ian is still wrestling. Now he's under the wolf. His body cannot move. Suddenly Kei's body fell into the hands of a wolf. Kei managed to kick the wolf that hit him and then came another wolf, and so on.

Seeing Kei in distress, Ian who was still under the pressure of two wolves kicked one of the wolves and hit the other with his head. Ian walked backwards in a limp. His leg has bite marks. Ian turned around and attacked the wolf that attacked Kei. The wolf crashed. Ian stood growling in front of Kei. Kei got up and turned his back on Ian.

'How is Kei?'

'We attack together. I am the wolf in front of me, you are the wolf in front of you.'

'okay.'

'Get!'

Kei jumped up high and caught one of the wolves with his front legs then bit him hard. The wolf groaned in pain and retreated slowly. Kei attacked another wolf. Wolves kept coming at Ian and Kei. They're overwhelmed.

Livia arrived not far from there. He followed the map with Kei's blood. He was surprised to find how many wolves had attacked Kei and Ian.

"How's this? What am I supposed to do?"

Livia panic. Moreover, he saw Roger just got there. Livia spread out her hands.

"Misto Helamo"

The fog started to appear and grew thicker. All the wolves were shocked, even Roger. Roger growling.

"Witch. Find them and don't get away!!" roger's orders.

The wolves followed and began to search. Livia is also looking for Kei and Ian.

"Key, give me a sign of your whereabouts. Come on.." said Livia inwardly.

Livia is nervous because Kei hasn't met yet while the fog that Livia is making is getting thicker. Suddenly Livia saw a pair of red eyeballs on her left and yellow eyeballs not far from her.

Livia ran towards the red eyeball while reciting a spell.

"Winhale Minimo!!"

A small wind blew around him as he ran and sure enough it was Kei and Ian. Livia recognizes Kei and Ian's wolves. Livia holds Kei and then Ian also teleports.

They floated for a moment then landed on the grass with the sun shining brightly. Kei and Ian turned into humans again and immediately laid themselves down on the grass then heaved a sigh of relief.

"That was almost. I can't fight anymore" said Ian.

"Yes, so am I."

"You're king and beta, why so weak? I'm tired." said Livia, who was lying next to them.

"They're a lot of Livia."

"But aren't you stronger than them?" Livia sat down and looked at Ian and Kei.

"But still..."

"Huf! turns out you're the same." sneered Livia.

"Hey, hey..."

"What's? Seha..."

Livia was silent and looked surprised.

"Good day, I guess. His majesty.. Beta.. And so are you Livia." greet someone. Livia's still mute. Kei and Ian turned their heads and found that Damian was already with them. Ian and Kei sat down for a moment.

"Damians!! What a pleasant surprise! What are you doing here?" hello Kei.

"I should have asked your majesty. What are you doing here?" ask Damian.

"What do you mean?" Kei stand. "We're in..."

Kei fell silent. He looked around him. It looks different, no, very different. Ancient buildings and trees. Kei looked at Damian who was looking at him in wonder.

"It's.... Where's?" ask Kei wonder.

"Obviously this isn't in Sebastian's alpha pack" Ian added. "Livia, where are you taking us?"

"Uhm.. Ii'm sorry... Only this place was thought of by me at the time." said Livia. Livia lowered her head, looking very guilty.

Before long appeared some witches and they were all dressed in ancient clothes. Long dress, weird suit. Kei frowned.

"Where is this then?" ask Kei.

"Your highness... Welcome to Disprea. City of witches." welcome Damian. Kei and Ian gawked at that.

"Tu-wait a minute, Disprea? Witch town? Which is all witch?"

"Yes right. Now tell me, your majesty, how did you get to be with Livia and get in here. Because this city cannot be entered by non-witches. They usually die if they try to enter. Then.. Why did you get here?"
