In the Northern part of the Cindercrest Kingdom.
Alexander and two of his men.
They were looking for a way to enter the city.
Normally, werewolves do not welcome vampires into their homes.
But the Northern part of the Cindercrest Kingdom was different.
They kill any vampire that they see in their land.
Alexander knew this rule so he decided to wait and see if the fellow would come out by himself.
One of the guards let his curiosity get the best of him and asked.
" My Lord if I may ask, who is this fellow that we are looking for ".
Alexander smirked.
" This is not just any fellow, he is Roman Gribell also known as Tristan ".
Alpha to the Golden howl pack.
And I may not know how to find him, but when I do, he will be Adrian Gravemire's worse nightmare.
The guards nodded, and they all kept their eyes on the city gates.
However, in Morvayne Kingdom.
Damien sat on his bed, his brow's furrowed slightly.
His troubled expression mirroring his troubled mind.
He still couldn't wrap his head around the fact that his father did not declare war on the Dairina Kingdom.
Lucian has never been the one to back down from a fight.
Even in situations where it seems like they would lose he didn't back down so why now?
He decided to ask the only person who came to mind.
Adrian was nursing a drink that he hasn't touched when Damien walked in.
He could smell the anger and irritability oozing from Adrian.
He cleared his throat and called out to Adrian.
No reply.
" Adrian we need to talk ".
Adrian frowned but didn't say a word.
After calling out for minutes, only to get no response Damien left after saying;
" Did King just backed down in war, he didn't declare war on the Dairina Kingdom ".
Adrian froze.
" The Dairina Kingdom ".
In the southern part of the Cindercrest Kingdom.
Kylie laid on her bed crying.
That's all she has been doing for the past few days.
Not only because of her separation from Adrian, but also because of Skyler's attitude towards her.
She has tried everything to make Skyler talk to her, but all to no avail.
A faint knock was heard at the door.
Kylie didn't respond, until she recognized the scent of the fellow.
It was Skyler's.
Her eyes landed on the beautiful blonde approaching her, she sniffles and ran into Skyler's arms.
" I'm sorry ".
Kylie whispered against Skyler's ear.
Meanwhile, Alexander didn't back down I'm his search for Roman Gribell.
He couldn't cross the gates of North Cindercrest, so he decided to take shelter in a cave.
The cave was located in a secluded area, in the woods.
Roman Gribell was one of the most powerful Alpha's on earth.
But he wasn't only powerful.
He was vicious.
And that was the one thing Alexander intended to take advantage of.
Back in the Moraine palace.
Damien went to sleep with a lot on his mind.
But the one thing that bothered him the most was the problem that his father seemed to be facing.
Everyone knows King Lucian for being ruthless, but to Damien, he was the best father anyone could ask for.
Damien frowned in his sleep.
Before he could understand what was happening, he found himself at a party.
A family banquet.
His brows furrowed slightly.
The issue wasn't the party, it was just the familiarity.
Everything was the same.
The laughter, the people, the banquet hall?
Everything looked the same.
Damien heard voices from a distance.
People talking, laughing and moaning.
The voices kept echoing and overlapping in his head.
Damien stumbled when he saw Adrian drinking with Luke.
Luke poured two glasses for the both of them.
Adrian drank his in one go.
But Luke didn't.
He placed the glass in front of his lips, and dropped it back.
He didn't even sip.
Damien frowned.
He saw Adrian's attention shifting to a blonde dancing towards him.
The blonde approaching Adrian stopped abruptly.
Damien froze.
Something changed.
The hall turned blurry, the voices started fading.
The room spun.
Damien jerked awake in his bedroom.
His eyes shot open, as he cleaned the beads of sweat that formed on his forehead.
He closed his eyes and tried to understand what he just saw.
His formed into a frown and he muttered.
" Luke Carter ".
The morning soon kissed the Morvayne Palace, it clothed Damien as he stood in front of his mirror.
The maids were dressing him up in his Regalia.
He had many problems in his mind, but the one on the top of the list, was finding evidence to prove that Luke Carter is guilty.
And that was the only thing he set out to do.
As if fate were playing dirty games with him.
The moment he stepped out of his chambers, Luke Carter was the first person he saw.
Luke bowed in respect.
" Your Highness ".
Damien nodded, and took a few steps before saying.
" Luke Carter watch your back ".
Luke was stunned by the sudden warning, but he brushed it off.
Outside the palace.
Damien had set out to find the blonde that was approaching Adrian that night.
He had a strange feeling that she has something to do with the attack.
After riding a few miles, he reached Lag Lelia.
Lag Lelia was a home for women of that profession.
He walked into the harem.
All the guards bowed in respect.
On entering the harem, all the women giggled and murmured at the sight of him.
Some couldn't stop staring at his gray eyes.
That was normal because he was a Gravemire.
The Gravemire's are not just powerful, they are also good-looking.
Even though Damien was no match for Adrian in terms of looks.
All the women seemed to settle for him because Adrian was too cold.
Only the daring ones dared to look him in the eye.
Damien sat with the owner of the Harem.
She was a four hundred-year-old blonde vampire.
The girl Damien was looking for was in fact her niece.
They were waiting for her to get dressed since she just took care of one of their" guests ".
Selena the blonde arrived almost immediately since she would rather not keep the Prince waiting.
Adrian scanned her entire body, and asked her what he came for.
" I want you to do something for me ".
***
Alexander stood in a mountain in the far ends of Morvayne.
He had been there for days, waiting for Tristan to come out of the City.
But the latter wasn't making things easy for him.
One of his associates came and gave him the latest news.
" My Lord from what I heard, Roman Gribell will be leaving North Cindercrest in two moons".
Alexander smirked.
" Adrian Gravemire you will be doomed very soon".
