Chapter Thirty Five
“Where have you been?” Alexander asked the moment I entered the room.
“Not your business.”
“You must keep me informed about your whereabouts.”
I turned to him. “I must not. I don’t try keeping up with your whereabouts now, do I?”
“You are mad at me. I shouldn’t have said what I did earlier!”
“Oh, an apology from the high and mighty Alpha king; that should solve everything.” I said, rolling my eyes.
“Usually, it does solve everything most of the time.” He said with a smirk. “And I do like the term ‘high and mighty.‘.” He added.
“Unfortunately, pretty boy, your words don’t mean shit–not to me.”
“I expected my Luna to be less profane”
I flipped him the middle finger.
“I spent the day with my Beta. I plan to be out there more often; I get sick of this place and also–you.”
“Come on, let’s not lie to ourselves. I don’t infuriate you— scare you, and that’s what’s got you all riled up.”
“You would have liked it, wouldn’t you? If I was afraid of you?”
“I mean, I’m liking it now. But that’s beside the point; I shouldn’t have said what I did earlier.”
“Skip the false apologies; what do you want?”
He gave me a long look. “We’ll have visitors arriving any moment now, and I want you by my side.”
“Sorry, I’ve got more important things to do – like take a long, long bath and let’s not forget my hair, It’s such a mess.”
“Kaida, you wanted to be a part of the pack’s affairs. You are my Luna, and I won’t deny you the right. I think you might want to hear what our visitors would like to say.”
If this is indeed important, then I have to be there. My curiosity won over my annoyance.
“Okay then, let’s go.”
“Perfect, you should get dressed.”
“What’s wrong with my clothes?”
“I’m not against your dressing Kaida, but you should wear a gown for this.”
“Who exactly are we expecting?”
“The Aureonna’s representatives and, of course, their… god’s Chosen.”
I had never heard the name before. “The Areona’s?”
“You aren’t pronouncing it quite well.”
“I’m not familiar with the name; are they a pack?”

Chapter Thirty Five
“No, they are not. I am surprised; the daughter of an Alpha doesn’t know who the Aureonnas are.”
“My duty is to protect the pack, and that’s what I had been doing. So are you going to tell me who these people are, or would I have to find out myself?”
“They are a religious group of people. Over the past twenty years they’ve grown considerably stronger; they have an aim- a life purpose, and that is to destroy the Demon Overlord.”
“But the Demon Overlord is no more.”
“He is not dead either; he will be back, and they are there to make sure he is destroyed once and for all.”
“I’m guessing they are not werewolves?”
“You guessed right.”
“If they are not werewolves, then what are they?”
“The Aureonnas don’t serve the moon goddess; they believe in another god; they call him the god of light. They are only slightly different from the humans, but I’ve heard rumors that they age as slowly as wolves–if not slower –and also their ‘god‘ grants them the ability to wield the flames when in grave danger.”
“That sounds like what a demon can do.”
“Yes. Demon wields that very same power; the difference is they aren’t limited by the ‘god of light‘ like the Aureonnas are.”
“So, what happens if the Demon Overlord is killed?”
“They believe in many myths and legends. I’m sure they will create another target when the time comes.‘
“And do you believe them?”
>>
“I don’t believe in their god. But I’ve seen them wield the flames before. Over the past years they’ve grown in numbers.”
“How many are they?”
“They’re in their thousands.”
“What? How is that even possible?”
“Their tales are very… convincing.
Any member who joins them would have to be ‘purified‘, I call it ‘brainwashed‘ – they have a ritual for that. Only then would the member be considered fit to serve the god of light.”
