Lyra looked around the fox tribe in awe. The only coronation banquet that she had attended was Kyrell’s. And as that day ended up with her being kidnapped by the host himself, it was very morable but in a bad way.
Honestly, that day still scared her. The helplessness that she felt then still unnerved her. She was alright because it was Kyrell but what if it was soone else? She didn’t even want to think about the other scenario.
She shook her head trying to forget that day and returned her attention to the decorations done by the fox tribe. She could guess that the fox tribe must have gone all out preparing for their new king’s coronation. The entire tribe was brimming with liveliness. So Fox beastn were arranging the bonfires and food for the guests while others were busy guarding the premise.
As she continued to scrutinize the surroundings, her eyes ca to halt on a familiar figure. A beautiful woman was standing on the plaza and it looked like she was instructing so beastn with work. Lyra recognized that woman. She was the only princess of the fox tribe and prince Xavier’s sister.
Lyra did not have any impression of the other woman but only recalled her mocking smile during the first banquet that she attended. At that ti, she was still new in the beast city and cried because the black wolf tribe’s princess mocked her background. That woman said sothing like how Lyra is so wild female who must have been tossed away by her parents before Lucas found her.
Rembering those words now, Lyra felt ashad of her behavior. she was such a crybaby. She let those harsh words hurt her and didn’t refute Elena back.
And the reason for that was because she still missed her parents from her old world at that ti. But now it was bearable. With her mates and children by her side, the pain seed to have eased.
Coming back, She once again looked at Lexi, and this ti the forr too glanced at her. No...it was more like a glared at her. The princess was glaring at her with so much hostility. Her red foxy eyes were filled with hate and disdain. It was a piercing gaze that seed to want to kill the one at the receiving end.
Lyra didn’t understand what she had done to receive so much hate. In the first place, she had never even talked to the forr.
It was not only her, but Blake who was standing beside his mate too felt soone glaring at them and looked up. A frown etched on his forehead and his body instinctively moved as though covering his mate from the probing gaze. He despised how the other female glared at his mate with so much hatred.
On the other hand, Lyra blinked in confusion when her mate suddenly stood in front of her with his back facing her.
’’Blake?’’ She softly called while touching his back.
He turned back hearing his mate’s sweet voice and held her hand, ’’Let us go from here’’
Lyra nodded in approval and both of them went toward the snake tribe’s bonfire.
anwhile, Lexi who was still looking at them finally moved her gaze away from them. She had enough of staring at that shaless wench who stole her friend’s man. Lucas was always ant for Elena and nobody could change her mind saying otherwise. Her friend and Lucas practically grew up together.
Lexi still rembered Elena’s face whenever she talked about him. Her friend’s face would glow with just a re ntion of his na. But sadly, it was not the sa for Lucas. That ungrateful brat never cast a glance at her friend and when Elena professed her feelings, he completely stopped talking to her.
But Elena was alright about his indifference because she thought that at the end of everything, he would still choose her for his tribe’s sake. She was a princess of the black wolf tribe and becoming her mate would give his tribe more power. She always believed this and failed to consider the most important thing. And that was Lucas’ heart.
No matter what others say, at last, Lucas was the one making the decision. In the past, he always said that he would only mate with the one he loves and never listened to others’ words. His parents included. When his mother forced him to take Elena as his mate, he left the beast city and only returned with his mate.
Her friend’s heart broke that day and Lexi believed that this was the reason for Elena’s reckless behavior in sheltering those stray beasts.
When Elena ca to ask for help regarding her betrothal with Xavier, Lexi failed to help her friend but not now.
This ti, Lexi decided to help her friend in taking her revenge against Lucas and that wench. She knew that it was risky but her hate for Lyra was greater than anything else. Today would be the best day in her life because her brother would ascend to his rightful throne and that bitch who was such an eyesore would et her end.
.....
(FOX CASTLE)
Xavier finally decided on his outfit after going through most of the robes prepared for him.
And Kyle who was waiting on his king released a sigh of relief. If they arrived late, the one to get the scolding would be not Xavier but himself. As the new king’s subordinate, it was his duty to bring the king to the coronation ceremony on ti.
"Your majesty?"
Xavier turned around and noticed Kyle’s nervous face and realized that it must have been late for the ceremony.
"Let’s go..." he said and moved past him and Kyle followed after his king.
After walking out of the fox castle, it took a few minutes for them to reach the banquet. The first sight that caught Xavier’s eyes as soon as he entered the venue was the finely decorated plaza with a regal-looking throne in the middle.
His tribesn with others included bowed as he stepped on the stairs and reached the plaza. anwhile, the respectful kings of other tribes stepped forward and climbed the stairs leading to the plaza.
On another hand, the elders and witch masters of the fox tribe started to chant so sayings while standing in front of Xavier.
However, the one who was receiving all these honors and the protagonist of today’s banquet stood indifferent to everything that was going on.
His face looked bored and he was emitting an aura resembling a leaden but ferocious beast who just wanted to return to his cave. But his eyes told a different story.
Xavier’s two distinct colored pupils seed to be impatiently searching for sothing among the crowd. Well, in this case, he wasn’t skimming for sothing but instead for an individual.
And when his eyes finally found the one, an instinctive yet wicked smirk tugged on his lips. His flaming gaze slowly took in the sight of the bewitching face of the female that he so longed to see.
’Found you... Pretty female’ he inwardly thought as Lyra sensed soone’s eyes on her and turned to him.
