Chapter 21

" I heard that we can not wake you up so we started without you, Crescenzo will brief you later " Lukas said while passing a cup of coffee to his brother

Theodore glared at Crescenzo then smiled at Lukas and said " It's okay you can wake me up if it is something important. Oh right where is mom? "

" She went out to look around " Lukas replied

After understanding the discussion before Theodore looked at Elina " This will get you their approval but there would still be a bitter fight. Alphas do not participate in disputes of throne. Not to mention the army is currently supporting him even if you can supress them with your blood it will still be difficult when comparing with those commanders. "

" I know that but we have commanders on our side too. We won't be in a corner that's for sure. " Elina said

" Yup my brother will definitely help us and so would my parents. As for others there is Vivian she can be convinced she never liked Harvey much " Crystal spoke with a smirk

" So we would have 50 percent chance that is not too bad. Odds looks good " Crescenzo said

" We can talk about that later right now we need to select people for helping packs. Marcus I will leave it to you. I need 20 people " Elina said

" Yes Your Highness when would you leave? " Marcus asked

" As soon as we get any signal of a attack on a pack. Luke, Crys you two will come with me this time. After this lead separate teams to the packs that are attacked. Em I need you to get some witches as far as I have received the news rouges have contacts with witches I need some witches to strengthen the security at borders of all the packs. " Elina said

Lukas and Crystal nodded their heads while Emma reassured her to get some of her friends to come. With that the meeting ended and everyone went back to do the chores they could help with.

Later at night Elina walked towards a room and knocked gently when she heard a faint ' Come in ' she opened the door and walked in and closed the door.

" Did something happen ? " Crystal asked surprised. She was shocked to see Elina in her room this late.

" Nothing just wanted to talk to you " Elina sighed and sat on the bed beside Crystal " Today when we were discussing those problems and your family came up I saw how sad you were even though you hid it. I am sorry Crys "

Crystal just stretched her arms and hugged her and then kissed her on her cheek " Oh you. I do miss them but I do not regret this. You are my best friend and I would do anything for you. " She said with her head on her shoulder. Crystal knew that Elina may seem calm and strong but she cares a lot and would rather carry all the burden herself than trouble others.

Elina smiled lightly and quietly hugged her for a while it was like when they were children whenever she was upset Crystal would hug her in the same way.

" Okay I am going back, get some rest " Elina said after a while she got up to leave

" Eli " Crystal called softly when Elina looked at her she spoke " Good Night "

Elina smiled at her and replied " Good Night " and left the room

Crystal watched her leave and then said to Jamie ' Is it just me or do you feel too that she is hiding something '

Her wolf replied ' I can feel that Lizzy is restless maybe they are worried about the plans '

' Really ' Crystal was a bit uncertain because the Elina she knew is confident and decisive.

' Just sleep. You can't do anything by worrying like this. It is better to rest and prepare yourself so that you can help her with the best of your ability ' Jamie soothed her and gradually Crystal fell asleep but somewhere at the back of her mind she kept thinking what is wrong.

Elina was back in the castle to meet him after recounting everything she was lying on the bed and he was beside her.

" So it won't take long right " He asked gently

" No it won't. But why are you asking suddenly asking, are you ok " Elina said softly

The entire room was covered in darkness and they could barely see each other so all she heard was a soft voice " I am fine, your spells are effective but I really miss you. I just wish to kill Harvey so that you could come back sooner " She knew he was speaking lightly but he means every word he was never a patient person.

" I miss you too just wait for a while I will be back soon " Elina smiled even though he could not see her smile in such darkness

" I have to go back now " Elina said she can feel his reluctance she herself finds it difficult to leave but they have to be careful with every step, smallest of a mistake can expose him and she cannot let him take such a risjso she had to leave

" Go then just take care. Tell me if there is anything you need. I am always there for you " He tried to touch her cheek even if he knew he can not really touch her and told her " I will keep an eye on Harvey so do whatever you want to do "

Elina nodded and closed her eyes, slowly her figure disappeared from the room when she opened her eyes she was back in her room in Northern Mountains. Suddenly a wave of fatigue hit her that was when she realized how busy she was with almost no time to rest, on top of that she was away from her mate so she that contributed to her situation too now that she saw him she feels that she can rest and that is what she did.

" Be careful on your way " Camille said

" I know Mom, take care " Theodore said and kissed her on both the cheek. He has stayed here for too long so he and Crescenzo both were going back to settle some affairs back in demon kingdom.

Lukas came forward and hugged his brother too on the other side Crescenzo was saying goodbye to others.

" Tell us if you need anything " Crescenzo said

" Of course " Elina said hugged him

" And all the best for your plans. Remember to call us. " Theodore said

Both of them got in the car and drove away while rest of them kept watching

" Come on you all need to prepare too. " Camille said " And I am going back to help with lunch " And the next second disappeared from the place she was standing

" Right I am going back to training field " Cassius said. These days he was almost living in the field if not for them leaving he would still be there.

" I am coming with you " Lukas said and Crystal agreed too. They have been training hard too

" Do come back for dinner " Emma said

" Of course " Cassius said and kissed her on the forehead

" Eli what about you? " Crystal asked

" I need to settle some papers and Em is helping me so we will see you guys later "

" Okay " Crystal said and turned into a red wolf beside her Lukas turned into wolf too and ran towards the field with Cassius right beside them.

Em looked at them and spoke when they were out of her eyesight " You look worried, did something happen? "

" Just the work nothing much " Elina smiled put her hand around her shoulder " You tell me how are you getting along with Cassius? "

" We are good. I mean he is just everything and more. He makes me happy Eli. " Emma said with a infatuated smile and put her hand around Elina's waist

" That is good spares me the trouble of killing him " Elina said with a smirk making Emma laugh

They were leisurely walking back talking and smiling

" I know that something is bothering you, it is fine if you don't want to say it just know that I am here for you " Emma said and gave her a smile

Elina looked at her and made a decision then suddenly spoke out " I found my mate "
