Rhea was sitting in front of the dressing table and was trying her best to untangle her curly hair. Nigel was sitting on the bed and was playing with his cute little twins when there was a knock on the door.
"Yes, who is it?" Nigel glanced towards the closed door and asked.
And a voice was heard from the other side, "Nigel, it's . Did you forget that you have a sparring session with the King?"
"Oh, Fenris! Give a minute. I will be right there." Nigel then puckered his lips and looked at his babies with sad eyes.
"Your father will have to go out for a while." He kissed the spongy tummy of the twins and made them laugh. And he kissed them on the cheeks and apologized to them, "I am so sorry little wolves. I will run back as soon as I can."
He glanced at Rhea. She already looked tired and he felt sorry for having to go on the sparring session again. He got off the bed and went towards the dressing table. He hugged her from behind and kissed her on her head.
"I am so sorry. I will have to leave the twins with you for a while." Nigel looked at the reflection of Rhea very apologetically.
But Rhea gave a smile to him and encouraged him to go there faster, "Don't worry about , dear. I will handle the twins. And the caretaker will be here in a while. So you should focus on your training."
"Are you sure you will be okay?" Nigel kissed her cheeks and kept on hugging her.
Rhea took Nigel's hand and kissed him on his palm. "Yes, I will be okay. Now run along before His Majesty cos here to drag you away."
Nigel chuckled while rembering that one ti when King Conall had co to take Nigel for the sparring session himself because Nigel was refusing to let go of Niylah who had fallen asleep on his arms. "Yeah, I should go before the alpha cos here to drag away."
Nigel tickled his twins and made them laugh before he left with Fenris.
After the two of them were out of Nigel's quarter, Nigel asked Fenris in a serious tone, "Where has he called today?"
Fenris glanced at Nigel with pitiful eyes and replied, "He is waiting for you in the forest. You might want to run before he gets cranky. I will catch up with you at my own pace."
Nigel instantly turned into his wolf form and then ran towards the forest at the top of his speed.
Fenris sighed and then whispered to himself, "I guess not inheriting the curse was a blessing in disguise. At least I don't have to go through the torture of fighting an alpha on the daily basis." He smiled and inhaled the fresh air. "It is great to be a loser. At least no one will have any kind of unnecessarily higher expectations from ."
He then began to hum a tune and then walk while taking his ti. He was carrying the fresh pair of clothes for the wolves so that they could cover themselves up before returning back to the settlent area.
Fenris entered the rainforest and was heading towards the area where the two wolves were going to face off against each other.
He was enjoying the view of the forest but then suddenly, he felt a weird sensation. He felt as though soone else was also there sowhere near. He looked around while guarding his precious face with his fists.
"Who's there?" he shouted but there was no answer.
He walked around for a while but he again felt that chilling sensation that soone was watching him and following him.
"Wulfric… is that you?" He looked around again and then shouted, "If you are trying to play a prank on then I am going to complain to our father that you are playing around when you should be reading the books that he gave you yesterday."
But there was no answer again. He gulped and then trailed his eyes around once more.
That was when his eyes caught sothing interesting. A little far away from where he was, he saw a dark mist disintegrating into thin air.
He widened his eyes and whispered, "What the hell was that? Did I just hallucinate or did I actually see it?"
He took a deep breath and thought to himself, "I hope I haven't gone mad because of running around these wolves for too long."
Fenris wanted to run back to the safety of his own quarter but he sighed because he had no choice but to follow those wolves. So instead of going back where he actually wanted to, he ran deeper into the forest to find the wolves.
When Fenris reached the area where King Conall and Nigel were fighting, he wasn't surprised by the ss they had made. This was their daily routine after all.
So of the trees had several claw marks on them, so had broken branches, and there was even a tree that had been uprooted.
Fenris sighed and thought to himself, "Oh dear lord, why can't these wolves show so rcy to the poor trees? What did those trees ever do to them?"
While Fenris was lost in the love for those trees, he did not even realize that the King had thrown Nigel up in the air and Nigel was headed to crash land right on him.
Nigel desperately tried to warn Fenris… but if only Fenris spoke wolf.
And the huge wolf landed right on Fenris's head. Nigel got up and jumped away from Fenris as soon as he landed on him. He wagged his tail and gently touched Fenris's head with his paw. He was worried that he might have crushed his cousin.
But to his relief, Fenris groaned and then got up from the ground. And he shouted at Nigel while dusting off his clothes, "Hey, can't you avoid the only human here and land on so trees or… I don't know… not on ?"
Nigel whimpered and then looked down on the paw. He was about to revert back to his human form so that he could properly apologize to his cousin for almost turning him into a pulp.
However, before Nigel could even sense it, the alpha swooshed past him and then slapped a paw right on Fenris's chest. Fenris was sent flying in the air.
The King was angry at Fenris because he had interrupted his sparring session with Nigel and was being a nuisance.
And to everyone's surprise, rather than flying off and landing on his stomach, Fenris managed to touch the ground with his feet. But he lost his balance and kept on skidding away. So he used his hand to dig on the ground and stop himself.
After he finally managed to stop, he was furious at his father for hitting him even when he knew that he was just a weak human.
He gritted his teeth and then glared at his father for always discriminating against him just because he was not a wolf.
Both Nigel and Conall, on the other hand, kept on staring at Fenris with stunned eyes.
What Fenris did not realize was that when he was glaring at his father, his eyes glowed amber in color for a few seconds.
