Chapter 20
By the next day, the square had been prepared to welcome the wolves who were going to fight in battle. People were in an uproar, running back and forth. The alphas and their warriors would arrive and take up their positions on the spot.
Danna arrived with her men. The queen stood on a stage with her daughter. Eurides, seeing them, showed them their seats. Eos looked for his father, and when he saw him, he let go of his mother’s hand and ran out to hug him.
People were thrilled to see the little girl’s gesture, aware that her prosperity was linked to the presence of the queen in their lands. Laughter erupted among them, moved by the tender scene.
However, in the midst of that joy, Danna was frustrated. A sense of helplessness came over her as she realized that the words, she was speaking to Eos seemed to vanish into thin air. A thought popped through his mind as he watched the scene. “It’s obvious that the words I say to my puppy go in one ear and out the other or she does the exact opposite of what I say.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Eros, with a smile from ear to ear, took his daughter’s hand, and in a filmed voice pronounced.
“We have all come here, to the center of our pack, to express our gratitude to Queen Danna, ruler of the Dawn Empire of the Northlands, for heeding our pleas and offering her help in the coming battle against our enemy, the one who seeks to take our lands from us. We also want to thank the alphas and their warriors for joining us in defending the lands that belong to us. People applauded fervently. Without further ado, let the presentation of the alphas and their warriors begin. Eros concluded before heading to his seat with a determined step, accompanied by Eos, whom he seated beside him.
The exhibitions began, each alpha approached the stage to pronounce the name of his herd and the place of origin. Once everyone had introduced herself, Danna stood up from her seat, ready to address the audience, but her speech was interrupted by Lamia, who was standing next to the elder wolves of the council.
“I, Lamia Sierra, granddaughter of Alpha Fabrizio Sierra and a member of the council of old wolves, challenged Queen Danna of the Dawn Empire in combat. My intention is to show her that in our lands there are also warrior alphas capable of competing with her. I hope you won’t be offended by my audacity in requesting this duel, as you’re an omega and I’m an alpha don’t feel weak in front of me.” A sarcastic smile spread across her face.
Eros stood up and walked towards Lamia, with a look of anger pronounced.
“Lamia, how dare you defy Queen Danna?” You know she’s here to support us and defend our lands. In this event we are not here to challenge the warriors, but to support them. If you wish to join us in battle, you are welcome without the need to prove your bravery. I ask you to stay out of it.
Lamia was consumed with fury and felt a deep hatred for Danna for the way Eros protected her. He muttered in his mind, “I will soon defeat your queen, and you will have no choice but to take me as your moon.”
The people silently looked at each other, they couldn’t believe the brazenness of that she-wolf, how she dared to challenge the queen who brought life to their lands.
“Alpha Eros, excuse my audacity in challenging the queen, I just want to show people that she without her beasts, is just like us, I don’t see the problem with our wolves fighting or maybe she will be afraid to fight with an alpha.
“Mommy, mommy, that rude alpha is provoking you, let Hede defeat her,” Eos looked at his father. Handsome alpha, if mommy wins, we can get this alpha out of your pack who is always screaming. A cheerful little voice exclaimed.
“Heos, behave and let Mommy take care of this,” Danna whispered softly so that only she could hear.
Danna, with her eyes, indicated to Eros that she would take care of Lamia. He would use this fight to take revenge for all the suffering Lamia caused him in the past. Plus, it was the perfect opportunity to get rid of her and be calmer without having her near her daughter. With a sinister smile on his face, he said.
“Alpha Lamia, I accept your challenge, but let’s make it more interesting,” Danna said, looking at Eros sarcastically. If Alpha Eros accepts, the winner of this match will become Queen of the Woodlands. That is, whoever emerges victorious will obtain the power of the two empires. And since I know you want to be the Moon of this pack, you will be able to marry the Alpha of Alphas, thus fulfilling your dream. He ended his words in a mocking tone. He was aware that everything Lamia had done was due to her ambition for the title of Moon of that pack.
Eros swallowed hard, unable to believe that Danna would put him in such a situation. He stared at her for a few seconds, admiring her recklessness and how radiant she was, then looked to the alphas for their approval to relinquish control of their empire. The alphas looked at each other and, trusting the queen, nodded their answers.
“Your Majesty, the Alpha Regents of the Southern Packs and I respect the proposal you made. I approve of his decision on the condition that the she-wolf who wins will be the new Moon of this pack and Queen of the Wolf lands.
“Mommy, Mommy!” Hade can beat that she-wolf! Make the handsome daddy ours! “Come on, yes, Mommy,” Eos shouted excitedly.
Danna raised her eyebrows, unable to believe that her daughter was happy to stay with Eros. He had the impulse to pull his ears, but he was soothed by the sight of people clapping and shouting his name. With a smile on his face, he shouted.
“Alpha Eros prepare the area for combat, and Alpha Lamia and I will go get ready.”
Lamia was stunned by her people’s loyalty to that omega. Her heart hardened as she saw that no one shouted for her, or even encouraged her to fight. He looked at the elders, who remained silent without uttering a word. Her grandfather gave her a supportive smile, but she only gave him an angry look before leaving to change. She thought, “Stupid people, when I win and become queen of these lands, I will take this humiliation.”
