Ewan and I are speechless.
After a moment of silence, Ewan suddenly asked, “King is too stubborn and suspicious. He knows that the child in front of him is the one in the prophecy. He just doesn’t believe it. He thinks we are all cheating him. By the way, why does he feel that the child predicted must be a child with the appearance of the inferno wolf clan?” He is confused.
“Isn’t it?” That’s what the prophecy says. I’m also shocked. Did my father make a mistake?
“The prophecy only said that the children were born by the royal family of the inferno wolf tribe, will be destined by their partners who are also from the royal family of the inferno wolf tribe. You are the only one in the Royal Generation of the inferno wolf tribe. The king, no, Samuel is your destined partner, so there is no doubt that it must be you and the king’s child. No one says it’s your blood. It must be a child with your inferno wolf mark on his head.” Ewan said.
“This…” I was stunned.
“So, it is not only the king but also you?” Ewan looked at me in disbelief.
“That’s what my father told me,” I said quietly.
“It may be that the royal family of the inferno wolf clan has not seen any other werewolf tribe with powerful partners for thousands of years. This is a dominant gene and a recessive gene… ”
“Huh?” I’m confused.
“Well, I’ll get straight. Generally speaking, the inferno wolf is a powerful tribe, and the royal family’s gene is more powerful. I doubt when the child is a partner of other tribes, the physical characteristics of the child are more consistent with the inferno wolf tribe. But in your generation, your partner is the king of the frost wolf. He is also powerful and genetically strong. Therefore, the physical characteristics of this child are present to you and Samuel at the same time. Your father didn’t expect that your partner would be as powerful as Samuel. That’s why I thought the child must have the appearance of an inferno wolf tribe. But as long as he sees your baby, he knows he’s the one in the prophecy,” Ewan explained.
“How ridiculous! Samuel schemed against me. He tricked me to fall for him and predicted a child to give birth. As a result, Samuel got what he wanted, and the child was right in front of him. He almost killed the child he had been waiting for,” I said with a smile, not only to laugh at him but, also at myself.
“What are you going to do next? So, you will do nothing? You’ll just follow him?” Ewan continued.
I looked at Ewan and said, “That’s impossible, but you have to help me with some things!”
In this feeling, I just lost my father’s territory and the people because I fell for someone who shouldn’t. My poor child, who suffered so much at birth, could not even transform. For what? Why can Samuel give nothing in this relationship!? I will make him pay for what he has done!
“What do you want to do?” Asked Ewan.
“Give me the medicine. I don’t want to have another baby for him. Frost wolf priests are very good at pharmacology. I don’t believe you don’t have such medicine.” I smiled at Ewan.
“But if you take medicine and your stomach doesn’t move all the time, the king will doubt sooner or later,” Ewan said, frowning.
“It is not easy. Isn’t it?”
“Yes. You said that I was too sad at your last birth. Therefore, in recent years, we should not have children. But we take good care of our bodies, it only takes three years. After three years, when the baby turns into a human, it won’t be necessary. Three years later, Samuel may not be as good as me.” I said with a smile.
“What do you mean?” Ewan looked at me in a daze.
“Do you think three years of hard work will not affect people? I mean, blood is the most precious thing in werewolves’ lives. Taking blood from the heart is harmful to the werewolf body. It takes a very long time to recover. What is more dangerous is when he takes three years in a row it will not only reverse his skill but also affect his life span.” I said faintly.
“You… you are the reason why he did it” Ewan looked at me in shock.
“Why? Why did he even think of me?” I look at Ewan.
“That’s not what I mean.”
“I know. Samuel is stupid. Even if he fights against the Inferno wolf’s tribe, he will do everything for you. “Ewan explained.
“It’s too late for him to repent. I, Kolten, swear that as long as I live, he will never be the leader of the inferno werewolf clan!!” I said hatefully.
“Do you want to take that opportunity to kill Samuel?” Ewan asked.
“No! If he dies so easily it won’t be fair, he must suffer more before he dies!” I sneered.
Samuel’s POV
Three days ago, I met Kolten with the frost wolves outside the woods of their camp.
“What do you mean, Kolten?” I’m waiting for Kolten’s reply on the other side of the station, after the three-days agreement, he arrives. If Kolten wants to break the agreement, I won’t mind giving him another chance!
“I have no choice. Now, let my people go. No one will follow them. Let them leave safely.”
Kolten slowly walks to where I was standing.
“Woo Hoo…” I saw the baby’s roar coming from behind Kolten, and Ewan was hugging him tightly.”
“My baby, please behave.” Kolten looks at Hale in Ewan’s arms and looks back in three steps.
“Woo…” the baby in Ewan’s arms is looking at Kolten, while he walks away farther and farther until he makes a sad sob. The weak sob echoes in the ears of the inferno wolf clan.
“It’s the wisest choice not to resist! I can let the others go. But Hale has to come with us.” I put one hand around Kolten’s slender waist and locked it tightly in my arms. While commanding my subordinates behind me to release the inferno werewolves.
“Prince, why do you have to trade yourself for us? We are here for you. If you fall into the enemy’s hands because of us, I’d rather die.”
“Prince, if you don’t go, neither will we!” The poor inferno wolves exclaimed.
What a scene! I held Kolten in my arms, looked at the angry eyes they gave me, and laughed. Forget it, let them be presumptuous once! After all, they are the reason for Kolten’s decision to come back to me this time.
Kolten’s POV
I surrender myself for my people, and I can’t let them sacrifice for me anymore.
I looked at Uncle Cooper in the crowd and nodded to him. Uncle Cooper said, “Let’s not burden the prince. We are the reason why the prince is here. If we leave, they will not threaten the prince and other comrades.”
They are right. Uncle Cooper is known to be prestigious in a tribe. After hearing what he said, the people shut up.
I look at Hale in Ewan’s arms looking at me while sobbing as they walk away.
“Wait! Hale has to stay, too.” Samuel’s voice overhead.
“No, Hale has to leave with them.” I looked up at Samuel.
“The decision is not up to you. You and the kid have to come with me. ”
While I was arguing with Samuel, I heard Ewan’s voice, “Hey! Hale, come back to me… ”
It turns out that Ewan was distracted by the countless number of inferno wolf tribes. Hale snapped out of Ewan’s arm. His small black body rushed to Samuel and me.
“Don’t come here!” I looked at the baby getting closer and closer to me and tried to break away from Samuel’s arms.
How can Hale be so disobedient? I can’t take him to the frost wolf, I cannot let that happen!
Ewan’s POV
“Ewan, be careful!” Daniel is in the distance crying for no reason. Then I saw Sally standing behind Samuel shooting a black dagger from her hand. The direction was toward Hale. He is running relentlessly and untimely. I jumped on him.
While protecting the child in my arms, I was expecting for the dagger to land on my body, but I didn’t expect the outcome to be different. When I looked up, I saw Kolten fall in front of me, like a broken kite.
Damned woman! Samuel’s icy sword stabs Sally directly into her heart. But I didn’t want to pay attention to that. I rushed to Kolten with Hale in my arms. Hale sobbed and pushed Kolten with his little head trying to reach for her stare.
