One year later..
The atmosphere in Lykort's palace was very busy. Some servants kept passing by here and there. Kei's mother seemed busy ordering the servants. Kei just stared saturatedly at them in his throne chair.
"No, no. It's over there." said Kei's mother. "Table it here. Don't get too close between one table and the other."
"Mom, stop. Mother made Kei dizzy." said Kei at last.
"You just stay there, baby, I'll take care of it. I just need more flowers, more flowers. Tania likes flowers, right?" ask mother. Kei just let out a long breath. "Bring me some more flowers. Do we still have another flower supply?"
"I check first luna" said one of the maids.
"If less, order again immediately. Don't procrastinate" Kei's mother said. The maid nodded. "That's right here. There's too much already. Ohh slowly lifting it up, we don't want it to break before the party."
"Mom, isn't this an exaggeration?" ask Kei at last.
"What do you mean overreacting? Of course not, dear. We should celebrate this with great joy."
"But ma'am, it's just a graduation party, it doesn't have to be this lively" Kei said desperately.
"Don't forget your engagement party."
"Yes and that." said Kei lazily.
"It seems you don't like it." his mother looked suspiciously.
"It's not like that, ma'am... Kei just-"
"What if you get married? It's better."
"Mom, we've already discussed this."
"But I want you to marry Kei soon. Why would Tania go to college in a faraway place? You'll be separated."
"It was our decision ma'am, after all it was our goal to agree to mother's desire to get engaged. And Kei is still eighteen years old mother, please. There's still plenty of time for Kei and Tania to get married."
"But I want to hold a grandchild soon! Just imagine how funny it would be if there were little wolves running around in the castle."
"There's still Aira running around the castle."
"Aira has grown up Kei." protested Kei's mother. Kei rolled his eyeballs.
"All right, ma'am, we'll stop this conversation. Kei won't change Kei's decision."
Kei got up from his seat and left. He walked out of the castle towards the field. He paused for a moment staring at the field. He remembered he had fought with Cayden there. He thought of Cayden.
"Is there anything interesting there?" tanya Tania who just came and hugged Kei. Kei smiled and looked at Tania gently.
"I fought Cayden there before." Kei pointed at the field not far away where he was standing.
"Ahh your cousin?"
"Yes. Tania listen, I'm sorry for what Cayden did. I know--"
"No Kei. Don't apologize. I don't hate or blame Cayden. He even saved my life at the cost of his life. I thank Kei." said Tania. Kei smiled then hugged Tania gently.
"thank you. I love you so much."
"I know, I'm Kei too." Tania let go of her embrace. "Why are you here? Where's Ian?"
"Ahh I'm just walking Tania. Just briefly. Ian's my bet anyway, not my nanny. I just feel bored in the castle."
"Is it because of mom?" ask Tania. Kei just let out a long breath. Tania smiled amusedly. "Did mom ask us to get married again?"
"That's how it is" said Kei lazily. Tania was silent for a moment.
"Are we just getting married Kei?" ask Tania suddenly. Kei surprised.
"Whatchu mean? Why suddenly?"
"I... I just wanted to... According to mother's request."
"Then how was your college? Don't you want to go to college?"
"I know but.. That can be delayed, right?"
Kei held onto both of Tania's arms and looked at her fixedly.
"Tania, our marriage can be postponed. We've already discussed this and I don't want to talk about it anymore. I'll wait for you no matter what."
"Then I'll go to Lycort."
"Tania, we talked about it too and I'm not going to change my decision."
"Alright if that's what you want."
"Now let's take a walk."
Kei turned himself into a wolf and lowered his body. Tania climbed onto Kei's body and left with Kei.
Not long before they reached the Lykort border. There Lily was waiting. Lily bowed respectfully.
"Lilly? What are you doing here? Where's Livia? " ask Tania.
"Livia is attending a meeting in dysprea, the city of magic. And I'm here waiting for you, your majesty."
"waiting me? But for what?"
Kei nodded at Lily. Lily also nodded then touched Kei and cast a spell. With a split second, Kei and Tania reached the forest. Tania recognized the forest. It's the alpha Sebastian region forest. They immediately headed to the big rock. Tania descended from Kei's body and approached the boulder. Tania touched the inscription of her father and mother's name on the stone.
"Dad... Mum..." Tania stared at the writing. "Tania is going to college away from here. Sorry if Tania rarely visits. Tania will miss you."
"I will take good care of this stone" said Kei who had turned into a human and hugged Tania tightly from behind.
"You're not going to find another woman, are you?" tuding Tania suddenly.
"Tania, I'm no ordinary man. I'm a werewolf, for Christ's sake. We're only destined to have one Tania mate and that's for a lifetime, you know it!"
Tania laughed amusedly. He laughed looking at Kei's visibly annoyed facial expression.
"I should have said that. You are a human being, not a werewolf. You can fall in love with another man even if you're engaged to me."
Kei snorted in annoyance. He folded his hands in front of his chest then turned his body away from Tania. Tania smiled amusedly.
"Ohh.. So that's what you think?" tania Goda. Tania was still smiling amusedly. "Look at me."
Kei did not care about Tania's request.
"Let's see me." persuaded Tania. Kei let out a long sigh then turned around and looked at Tania. "Kei, I'm a woman who doesn't care about love all this time. You are my first love and will be my last love. Not only do you treat me kindly and sweetly, you also respect me as a woman. Who would not fall in love with such a man? I'm yours now and then. Time can change but my love is only for you. Didn't I invite you to marry me and go to college here? But you insisted on keeping me in college far away."
"Because it's the university and the major you dream of. I don't want to just because of me, you can't achieve what you want."
"Then, trust me. I love no one but you. I'm not a werewolf, but I never had any intention of turning away from you."
"I knew. I love you so much Tania." Kei hugged Tania tightly and Tania replied to him.
"Me too Kei, I love you too but uhm... What'sthat?"
Kei let go of his hug and turned to the direction Tania pointed.
"Po-tree that... Why?" ask Tania.
"Wait here, let me check."
"I'm coming..."
"Tania..."
Kei shook his head then finally walked with Tania towards some trees. The tree is white. The leaves even look white. Not just one tree, but several trees that change color.
"W-What is this Kei? Are the trees dead?"
"I don't know Tania, but this is weird."
Kei reached out his right hand to touch the tree.
"But why? What's with the tree?"
"I don't know your majesty. Some trees in the forest have changed. There's a guard touching her and she's frozen like ice."
"What?! Who did it?"
"Temporary guess... The noble witch."
"Witch?"
"Yes your highness?"
"Is it just here?"
"Not your highness. This plague has begun to spread all over the world."
"But what is this plague?"
"We don't know your queen's majesty."
"Squeaky..."
"Std... I smell witches."
"Witch?"
Soon we heard footsteps. At first only the werewolves heard but the move was getting closer. Even Tania started hearing the sound of that step.
The sound of the steps grew and continued to approach. The werewolves began to be vigilant.
"Dian?" call Tania. His face looks happy. "Kei, it's Bian!"
Tania stepped forward to approach Bian.
"Thank God, we haven't heard from you in a long time. I thought you-"
Tania's steps came to a halt but it was not Bian's steps that continued to move forward. Tania realizes there is something strange about Bian.
"Tania, come back here! Now!" said Kei. Tania started to walk backwards. Kei pulls Tania's hand and hides Tania behind his body.
"A-there's a strange Kei.. He's not like Bian." said Tania. Tania was getting scared.
"Bian." call Kei. Bian's steps stopped. He looked at Kei, cold. Even Kei also felt a chill from Bian's gaze. "Dian? What are you doing here?"
Bian was still staring at Kei. "Do I know you?"
Kei and Tania were shocked. They look at each other.
"Dians.. It's me, Kei."
"I don't know you, so get out of the way" said Bian coldly. Bian's appearance changed. Bian was wearing a white silk canal shirt. Even his hair and eyeballs were white.
"Bian, is there with you? It's me..." Kei started walking closer to Bian. But with lightning fast there was a cold wind blowing and Bian just disappeared. "Squeaky..."
"Kei do you remember the words of the Elder named Damian? About Bian changing?"
"You mean now he's changed?"
"Look, he doesn't recognize us anymore."
"But the Elder said if Bian changed, then it was..."
"The end of the world. That's right."
Kei and Tania looked over. Livia's been there with some Knirers.
"I'm sorry I just came, your majesty, but there's an important matter."
"Is this about Bian?"
"true."
"It looks like I'll have to delay my departure" Tania said.
"No, your queen. Precisely we want you to immediately go away from here and the supernatural world."
"Why is that?"
"Because of the chosen spell, the world of ordinary humans is safe, at least temporarily. But the supernatural world is experiencing a situation that is starting to get dangerous."
"All right, take Tania away."
"But Kei.."
"No Tania, did you hear them say? The situation is getting dangerous here. We go back to Lykort now and start packing."
"But I want to be with you."
Kei touched both of Tania's shoulders and fixed them.
"Tania darling... Hear me. I want your safety. I know you want to help me. You can help me by staying safe and well. Think of it as your college trip. I beg..."
"alright... I-i understand. I don't want to be your burden either."
"You're not my burden Tania..."
"I know Kei, just calm down. I-i understand. Totally understand. I'll go but promise me that you'll come back to me soon, live and marry me soon."
Kei hugged Tania tightly.
"I'll come back to you Tania. I'll marry you soon too. But before.." Kei pulled something out of his pants pocket. "Well because tonight's show is canceled so..."
Kei prostrated himself before Tania.
"Tania Reynolds's... Will you marry me?"
Kei proposed to Tania. Tania was still shocked and surly.
"You're this, really unromantic. Applying to me in the forest, in the middle of a dead tree frozen bare-chested and watched... Ahh.. I'm willing."
Tania hugged Kei tightly then kissed her soft lips. Kei pinned a beautiful white ring on Tania's sweet finger.
"I love you Kei."
"I love you too Tania but we have to go now" Kei said.
"Ah is right."
"Tell alpha Sebastian to visit Lykort soon, as well as Alpha from the other pack."
"Good alpha."
Jake and the team and the omega leave for Kei.
"Livia, you witches can help me evacuate the citizens and my Queen?"
"Of course, your majesty."
"Good, we're leaving now."
They teleported one by one and returned to Lykort. The longer the tree is kept spreading. The lake also begins to freeze in the summer. All supernatural beings feel all that. Only ordinary people do not. What the hell is it?
****
Done..
I won't be opening a sequel to my werewolf prince (MWP). But the continuation is in my story whose title was chosen season 6 or 7..
So be patient..
What is clear is that Kei has finished only the supernatural state that is still not finished..
...Tadaria...
