How to Trust

"Brandon! Good thing you are back. How did the ambush go? Where are the other warriors, looks like you are alone?" King Lucius curiously asked one of his Generals.

"I got separated from the rest, I acted as bait. I instructed my mate to lead the others on the other way while I tried to have a direct clash with King Viktor himself but unfortunately only I survived and was able to escape." Confidently lied by Brandon who is carefully making it unsuspicious.

Though after he replied King Lucius, he remembered what really happened in their failed ambush.

*** Flashback ***

Inside the deep forest, a group of werewolves serving King Viktor are on standby while the King of all Alphas is standing in front of Brandon.

King Viktor has thought about something interesting as a plot against his current enemy, King Lucius.

"Now! Shift to your human form or else I will instruct my witch to finish off your mate." King Viktor threatened the remaining rogue werewolf while it whimpers.

All the rogue warriors who tried to ambush King Viktor were lifeless except for Brandon and his mate who is floating inside a bubble.

The remaining general realizes how serious the threat of King Viktor regarding his mate. So, he does not want to risk his own mate at the hands of the most vicious werewolf in the land.

"Now! You have to obey every word I say …"

King Viktor smirked with such sinister painted all over his face.

Despite Brandon surviving such a failed ambush, he realizes how truly scheming and cunning the King of all Alpha werewolves is. Especially for King Viktor to come up with such a scheme against King Lucius.

"You will be my eyes and ears around Lucius! And you will tell me the location of that fool with explosive ability. You will inform me about their movements and plans so I can return the favor. I will show Lucius how to execute a true ambush. Hahahaha!"

A villainous laugh was released by King Viktor which is resonating around the forest.

*** End of the Flashback ***

"I am glad that you survived Brandon. It would have been unfortunate to lose one of my generals against King Viktor." King Lucius tells Brandon.

"I am just worried though for my mate since she has not yet returned. At least I am not sensing any horrible thing that may have happened to her. I am still worried though." Pretentiously acted by Brandon.

In an attempt to deceive King Lucius.

"Do not worry, my friend! I have good news for you. We have new secret weapon against King Viktor!"

Declared by King Lucius.

Brandon realized that there is someone who is sitting in front of King Lucius.

When Brandon arrived, he just immediately went straight ahead to King Lucius without realizing that they had a guest who is sitting in front of King Lucius.

"I want to introduce you to our new secret ally…" King Lucius announced to Brandon who just arrived.

A big shock was all over in Brandon's face.

"W-w-hat! W-why? How can we trust her?" replied by Brandon.

King Lucius laughed because he understands exactly the doubt of Brandon.

"You mean, how to trust someone like … Persephone? Hahaha!" declared by King Lucius.

"Yes, how can we assure she will truly help us? Especially, she is the mate of the most vicious and most cunning werewolf in this world." A clear tone of worry from Brandon.

Persephone stood and explained herself.

"I am Viktor's mate but I have better plans for myself and my son which will benefit all of you as well."

"But… King Lucius why should we not just kill her now and weaken that awful pretentious Alpha King." Suggested by Brandon towards King Lucius.

"And what … let the notorious Prince Alcyd succeed in his throne? Another obstacle to your future. You will not benefit at all in killing me. But having me as an ally will bring you closer to victory in this war against my mate, Viktor."

"And how is that so… Do not tell me Lucius, you believe in her so much? Tell me how to trust someone like her?" continuously pointed out by Brandon.

"You see, I can help you take his precious allies out and starting with his favorite son Alcyd. I can help you in killing him especially I loathe him that much. My expertise and knowledge of poison will help you create more dangerous weapons and I am a better ally than you think. Disposing me will be a missed opportunity to gain more in this war of yours against Viktor." Further explained by Persephone.

"Persephone is right Brandon! It will be a missed opportunity if we dispose of her now. Having her as an ally will be more beneficial for us in this war which outweighs the advantages of disposing her. Her proposals are indeed magnificent. Now, I feel more confident in this war having Persephone on our side." Elaborated further by King Lucius towards Brandon.

"Thank you, Lucius! For seeing my perspective and potential future for both of us."

Persephone expressing her gratitude towards King Lucius for accepting her proposal and striking a deal with her.

A deal that will shape the future of the werewolf kingdom.

Brandon ponders on this unexpected allegiance between two important figures in the werewolf kingdom.

=====================

After Selene went to the comfort room and told the young girl about Fluffy, she made Misha swear and made a pact with her that she will grant Misha three wishes if Misha truly keeps her word in keeping the information about Fluffy.

Both went back as if nothing happened in the comfort room.

"What took you so long?" asked by a young boy beside Misha.

"Oh well, Miss Selene gave so many tips on how to look beautiful every day. Hehe!" Misha winks at Selene as she tries to convince others of what took them so long.

Selene smiles at Misha, she looks forward to spending more time with the orphan kids.

Immediately, the headmistress guided Selene and Scarlett to the daycare and showed them around with the other staff of the orphanage.

Everyone was warm and welcoming towards Selene which they were all impressed with how Selene intends to help and serve for the welfare of the children in Golden Moon Pack.

[At the beach]

After King Falcon saved Queen Mira from an attempt to ambush her, the two monarchs of their own kingdom discussed.

While both are in deep discussion, the other winged warriors are cleaning up the dead bodies of Hunyame, chameleon monsters who are in human figure but covered with green reptile scales.

"King Falcon? How did you know? Why are you even here?" curiously asked by Queen Mira, the Queen of all Sirens.

"I was informed by Queen Titania that King Viktor may have plans to execute you since you hesitated as well to agree with his plans during the Altum Council meeting. Queen Titania has her own spies in the Royal Palace of King Viktor." King Falcon explained to Queen Mira.

"I cannot believe I trusted King Viktor! Now, tell me! How to trust anyone after this? This is truly alarming." a tone of frustration was expressed by Queen Mira.

"Have faith in Queen Titania! We have plans and we need your help with this." King Falcon informs Queen Mira in regard to their intention to join forces.

"You mean, Queen Titania is planning to form another alliance." Queen Mira asked King Falcon.

"Not just an ordinary alliance, Mira. This will be the alliance that will truly protect the new Chosen One." Declared by King Falcon.
