As Elder Gallant departed, the atmosphere in the room shifted. Maximus, with a heavy heart and a mind racing with thoughts of vengeance, summoned Karin. When she entered, her eyes were swollen and red, a testament to the tears she had shed. The weight of her failure hung heavily upon her shoulders, a burden she felt she could never escape. She had been unable to protect Rania, the queen, and in a moment of desperation, had even suggested that Rania leave with the three warriors who had ultimately betrayed them all.
The loss of Elder Gayle stung deeply, a reminder of her inadequacy. Karin’s heart raced at the thought of facing the king; shame and fear coiled tightly within her. Yet Maximus was not concerned with her emotional turmoil at that moment; he had more pressing matters to address.
“My king,” Karin greeted him, her voice trembling like a leaf caught in a storm.
“Tell me what happened,” Maximus commanded, his voice deep and icy. His piercing gaze locked onto her, causing Karin to shudder involuntarily.
With a quivering heart, she recounted the events, her words tumbling out in a frantic rush. There was no attempt to mask her blunder or to rationalize her poor judgment in allowing the three warriors to whisk Rania away.
“It’s my fault, my king. I am profoundly sorry… I should have been more vigilant, more aware of my surroundings,” she confessed, dropping to her knees and pressing her forehead to the cold ground in a gesture of desperation, pleading for forgiveness.
Maximus’s expression remained impassive, devoid of sympathy. Instead, he turned to Letto, commanding him to recount the details of the incident once more.
The journey from the Barlukan kingdom had taken several days, but through sheer will, Maximus had managed to arrive a day earlier than expected. Yet, upon his arrival, he was met with chaos and despair.
People had begun to forget that he was once the mad king, his recent softness attributed to Rania’s influence. But beneath the surface, the monster within him lay dormant, and now, with the betrayal fresh in his mind, it stirred, awakening the fury that had lain in wait. Those responsible for this treachery would soon face the consequences of their actions.
Letto recounted how the Barlukan warriors had charged toward the south gates, their focus singular and deadly. When he and his fellow warriors finally regained control, they discovered the horrifying truth: Rania had been kidnapped, and Elder Gayle was dead.
“My deepest apologies, my king. I should have done better to protect them. I implore your mercy,” Letto said, dropping to his knees beside Karin. He recalled the near brush with death he had faced not long ago, and now he found himself in a perilous situation once more, wondering if he would emerge alive without the calming presence of the queen to temper Maximus’s wrath.
Yet, the king’s mind was elsewhere, consumed by thoughts of his mate. He couldn’t focus on punishing the two of them; all he yearned for was Rania by his side.
“Get up. I have a task for you,” Maximus instructed, his gaze drifting to the shoe resting on the table. He began to relay his orders to Karin and Letto, the gravity of the situation weighing heavily on his heart.
The forest surrounding the palace was vast and untamed, a wild expanse that stretched across multiple packs within the kingdom. Few dared to venture into its depths, for it was home to feral wolves and countless other monsters lurking in the shadows.
But for Maximus, the forest was a second home, a place where he had once been cast aside by his father and forced to fend for himself. He had thrived in its wilderness, learning its secrets and mastering its terrain.
Finding the waterfall Elder Gallant mentioned was a task he approached with ease. The sound of cascading water filled his ears, mingling with the unfamiliar scents that surrounded him. He sensed the presence of at least twelve Barlukan warriors, lying in wait among the bushes and behind the trees, their eyes trained on him as he made his way toward the waterfall.
As he arrived, he shifted into his human form and spotted Eric, the royal gamma of the Barlukan Kingdom. Though he was as young as Eiten, the weariness etched on Eric’s face spoke volumes of the trials he had endured while evading Maximus’s warriors.
This was their last desperate attempt to dethrone the king, a plan so reckless that it had cost them many lives. The Barlukan warriors had essentially embarked on a suicide mission, attacking Alpha Letto’s pack house to create a diversion that would allow them to abduct Rania.
“Barlukan is no more. Surrender, and I shall grant you an honorable death,” Maximus declared as he approached Eric, his voice steady and resolute.
Eric’s response was a derisive smirk. “Honorable death? What does that even mean? Do you think I desire such an honor? You’ve backed us into a corner with no escape p>
Maximus listened, but his focus was elsewhere. He was scanning the area, searching for any sign of Rania. But she was nowhere to be found. Panic flared within him. Had they taken her far away? There were no traces of her scent, perhaps washed away by the rain that had poured down just an hour earlier.
“If I must fall, I will take you with me. You will pay for the destruction you’ve wrought upon my kingdom,” he vowed, his voice low and filled with a fierce determination.
Maximus observed as the warriors, who had been lurking in the shadows, began to emerge from their hiding spots. Still, he remained calm, his mind sharp. “Rania is not here, is she? You don’t have my mate,” he asserted, the tension in the air palpable as he prepared for what was to come.
In the aftermath of the chaos that enveloped the kingdom, Maximus stood resolute, a tempest of emotions swirling within him. The pain of betrayal and the weight of responsibility bore down on him, yet a singular thought pierced through the fog of anger: Rania. The very essence of his being hinged upon her safety, and the depths of his love ignited a fierce determination to reclaim what had been taken from him. As he faced the Barlukan warriors, the remnants of his former madness faded, replaced by a clarity born from purpose. He was not just a king; he was a protector, willing to confront any darkness that threatened to steal his light away.
Karin and Letto, kneeling in the shadows of their own guilt, understood that their fates were intertwined with Maximus’s mission. In their moment of despair, they realized that redemption lay not in lamenting their failures but in the resolve to act. The forest, once a symbol of abandonment for Maximus, now represented a battleground for love and loyalty. As he prepared to confront the enemies who dared to challenge his reign, the emotional arc of betrayal transformed into one of fierce camaraderie and unwavering resolve. Together, they would rise from the ashes of their mistakes, forging a path toward a future where love triumphed over adversity, and dreams were not forsaken but woven into the very fabric of their fight.
