Chapter 110
The warriors entered the blue herd, and a burst of applause and cheers greeted them. The sisters, seeing their parents, couldn’t contain their excitement and ran to them to hug them.
“Daughters, you are my greatest treasure, and these lands find no better protection than the one you provide,” Danna shouted, her eyes watery, reflecting the happiness that overwhelmed her.
“We are the warriors we are because of you; you are our beacon, our example to follow,” Eda said, turning away from her father and holding Mateo in her arms.
Perseus, seeing his sons, advanced towards them with a firm step. Eulio, seeing his father, threw himself at him with an overflowing smile as he stammered excitedly.
“Dad… I love Daddy…
Perseus wrapped his son in an embrace, and silent tears ran down his cheeks. At the time of her capture, she would never have imagined that she would experience the warm comfort of hugging her little ones again. Then, with his arm free, he picked up his little princess, whose smile lit up her little face as she bared her little teeth, and began to kiss her on the cheek, tenderly wiping away the tears that adorned her face.
“You don’t know how much I missed you, my puppies. I didn’t think I’d ever see them again and witness them grow.
Eos approached from behind, placing his head on Perseus’ shoulder, and expressed tenderly.
“We miss you too, don’t we, Persephone?”
“Yes… I missed Dad, too,” the girl snorted.
Perseus placed a soft kiss on the cheek of each of his sons, and the others came forward to congratulate them. Together, they entered the house to share their experiences in battle.
A month later, Danna was reunited with her family in the office. Eros took the floor.
“Daughters, we have summoned you here because your mother and I have something to communicate to you and a decision we have made after learning of your plans for the future.
“Dad, don’t scare us, what’s going on?” Eda said, sitting next to her sister on the couch.
“Well, daughters, your father and I have decided to entrust the leadership of empires to both of you.
“How?” Eos said, looking at his sister in surprise.
“We’ve thought a lot about this. That’s why we insisted that Eda go into town to talk to her partner. However, she is stubborn, and we cannot intervene in that area. Daughters, we aspire to a quieter life on the outskirts of the herd. We plan to move to live in a cabin near Gina and Eros’s. We wish to experience calm upon waking up, run through the mountains without restriction, and enjoy growing and eating our own vegetable garden. Therefore, we have decided to transfer the leadership of the northern empire to Perseus and Eos, who are prized in that region. As for you, Eda, as you decide what to do with your life, we’d love for you to consider staying on as the alpha of this pack and leading the southern region, under Uriel’s supervision. He’s trained to be a good beta and he’ll be there for you.” Danna looked at her husband. We will be here for you, ready to advise and support you at all times.
“Daughters, think carefully about this. In a week’s time, the naming and celebration ceremony will take place. Eros interjected, grabbing his wife’s hand.
Eda stood up and hugged her parents. With a smile, he said.
“I accept. I don’t need to think about it much. My son and I feel like this herd is our family.
“Daughter, I still insist that you go to the city and clear things up with your partner. The bond between you is there; it hasn’t broken yet,” Danna blurted out ruefully.
“Mom, I wasn’t the one who left without saying goodbye. I just want him to manifest himself for Matthew. I don’t want the bond between father and son to be broken because my baby is the one who suffers the most in this. I’ve cried what I had to cry, and I feel good.
“I don’t think Perseus would refuse to lead a region we know very well. So, parents, rest assured. If you want to live in harmony with nature, I’m glad for you.” Eos stood up and hugged his parents.
The herd was in a bustle of preparations for the surrender of the regions. That day, the family was gathered at the mansion; There were only a few hours left before the ceremony, which would take place right there. Everyone was talking when, suddenly, they felt the arrival of a car, Eros went to see who arrived, being at the entrance two people walked towards him. Eros was surprised to recognize one of them.
“Eros, I’m sorry for everything that happened to your daughter. I’m here to talk to her. Setbacks with the company did not allow me to arrive earlier.
“I have nothing to apologize for. I’m just going to advise you not to make my puppy suffer any more than you already have, for Matthew’s sake. Try to talk and be on good terms.” Eros looked at the beautiful young woman who was with him. My daughter is gathered in the living room with the family. Pass.
The three of them entered the majestic mansion. Eda was deep in conversation when she detected a familiar smell and turned to meet her mate’s gaze. Her surprise was palpable when she also saw her friend Sabrina, who was quickly approaching her with a beaming smile.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“My friend! You really are a bad friend; how do you decide to stay in these lands without even saying goodbye? Your forgotten friend had to be the one coming to see you,” Sabrina said happily, moving her back and forth.
“Sabri, please forgive me. A lot has happened in my life since I got here. I’ll tell you all about it later.” She leaned close to her friend’s ear. And as for Magnus. Why did you come with him?
“He always asked me if I had any news of you and he told me you were coming to get me, so I took the opportunity to sneak in. Isn’t that great? He said effusively.
Eda couldn’t help rolling her eyes with a playful smile as she watched her friend.
Those present, noticing the arrival of the brunette in the company of Magnus, exchanged surprised glances and murmurs of judgment. A slight shadow of grief and annoyance was drawn on the faces of some as they imagined what Eda might be feeling at that moment.
However, the atmosphere changed drastically when they witnessed the effusive embrace between the two friends. The tension that had formed dissipated. Some breathed a sigh of relief, while others smiled in hopes that Magnus and Eda could resolve their differences.
Among those present, a wolf growled, restless, Heracles struggling to control the turbulence of emotions he was experiencing within him and that smell of jasmine was clouding his senses.
Magnus approached Eda with a heavy look in his eyes, looking for an opportunity to talk to her. When he learned that the black witch had been defeated and that his mate was safe, he waited for her return, but the days passed without her presence. When trying to reach Eda, he was met with rings that sent him to voicemail, each unanswered call plunging him into a desperate uncertainty that led her to decide she never thought she would make. Magnus approached cautiously and requested.
“Eda, can we talk, please?”
Eda, meeting Magnus’s choked gaze, felt a heaving in her chest. His heart threatened to slip out of place, but he forced himself to keep his composure. He took a deep breath and responded.
“After. I’m busy with family. From today, I will be the alpha of this pack. If you come to see your child, you can do it.
The tension in the air intensified, but before the conversation could move forward, Danna sensibly intervened.
“Eda, you’d better go clear things with Magnus. Don’t you think they should talk privately?
“Yes, my friend. Go talk to poor Magnus; He has suffered a lot for you. Look at his little face, he’s haggard and ugly. Feel sorry for him and go listen to what he has to say. I’ll stay with your family.
Eda blinked several times and sighed repeatedly to gather strength. Then, she turned her back on her family and walked steadily towards the office, followed by Magnus.
