100. Unleash the power of heart

In the kingdom of Ayruzglow,
"My lord, the gate is closing… Our pack members are out, but our Beta Prince has not come yet?" a pack warrior told Delta.
D'Rona told them, "Don’t lose hope, he will be out at any minute."
"Wait. I can smell him. He is coming," Delta werewolf Yanti Neguvex replied.
All could witness the approach of Beta the werewolf, nearing the gate with a human girl. The pack of Delta werewolves sensed danger behind him and was ready to rescue their Beta Prince with all their lives.
When Karen was about to leave the ice castle, Dev denied taking his bride with him. Even though Dev got an explanation from Akshara, he was not ready to give up his bride to a werewolf.
Dev stopped Karen from taking Akshara with him, "You can’t take my bride away from me, never."
Dev was jinxed to the ground, which cracked, and many plants of wolf's bane emerged from the cracks. The smell from the wolf's bane plant stroked Karen’s nose, and Karen was driven mad at that smell.
The dragon warriors followed the beta werewolf by exploring fire. Zohan rushed inside the gate to save his lord, Karen, by pushing away the dragon warriors to attack Dev.
Karen grew into a vigorous werewolf, even bigger in size, and turned towards Dev to attack, Dev had drawn the silver sword to slay Karen. Akshara stopped Dev from attacking Karen. The effect of Wolf's bane drives Karen to act savagely and he forward with his loud growl towards Dev.
"Karen, no." Akshara shouted at Karen, and he snatched Akshara, who was guarding Dev against Karen in the gesture of not attacking. Karen pulled Akshara and carefully held her on his back while he took a giant leap to get out of the ice castle.
The attack by Nora hurt Zohan, who was guarding Dev behind. Zohan helped Karen to take the giant leap and followed him.
Dev cried, "Sara…"
Akshara returned his gaze for one last time, her amulet glowing brightly as ever, confirming her love for him, but she wanted to do more than stay in the dungeon.
Akshara whistled to signal her pet birds to follow her, and they did as she led. Nora got Dev, who was about to fall to the ground, losing his gravity from the pain of leaving his love.
Karen ran towards the Black Iris forest with Akshara. It startled him and his pack soldiers to look into the Black iris forest.
The numerous werewolves emerged from the darkness that was headed by the Delta Werewolf who was heading towards the ice castle to attack the dragon warriors.
Delta werewolf told to Karen, "My Beta prince, we will take down these dragons… You go safe with your mate."
Karen nodded and rushed towards the cave which Karen and his pack members used the main gate to enter the kingdom of Ayruzglow. Karen headed towards Ardna Chirig.
*****
In Ardna Chirig,
Alabruz and his werewolf soldiers were patiently waiting outside the witch palace for the perfect timing to rescue his pack of Nuraz and his family.
Soon he saw the black witch who emerged from the witch palace with her black wings and understood the situation exactly. The black witch vanished into the air while raven wizards headed by Igikran occupied the witch palace.
While inside the witch palace in the prison, Nuraz told to his family, "Cover me."
Azile and Deniza acted accordingly to cover Nuraz, who was digging the ground to make a hole to escape. Azile told him, "Father… let me do this work; you wounds are severe to do this."
Deniza replied to Azile, "Let him do… he knows this place for ages and knows every brick of this palace."
Azile asked, "Mom, how?"
Nuraz replied, "Do you think we just spend our lifetime cleaning and cooking in this palace? Your mother and I have explored all the walls to create secret passages, and we knew this would happen one day. So I prepared us for this."
While they were in the middle of their conversation, one of the raven wizards came to the prison and examined them. When Nuraz managed, he was screaming in pain for his thumb's removal. Azile and Deniza acted accordingly.
After the raven wizard went, Nuraz dug the ground again. He asked his family to follow him closely. As the witch palace leapt from the ground during its transformation, it took hours for Nuraz to escape from the witch palace.

After an endless run, Akshara asked Karen to stop by, and Karen stopped by the tree in the middle of the Black Iris forest. Karen changed to his mortal form after a roar and a howl, Akshara watched his transformation calmly.
Karen asked her, "Am I horrible in transformation?"
Akshara no longer wondered or was shocked to see his transformation. But she controlled her tremors at his transformation, as she had previously witnessed the transformation of Dev from dragon to wizard.
Akshara had zoned out thinking of Dev, who was interrupted by Karen, "Axe... Are you scared of my sudden transformation?"
Akshara asked him, "Why would I be shocked to see your transformation?"
Karen was perplexed by her response, recalling Akshara's terror at witnessing his transformation to a werewolf on the night of the blue moon.
Karen told her, "Axe You have changed... a lot!"
Akshara asked him, resting her back on the tree's bark, "What changes do you see in me?"
Karen told her, "You 'look' bold and I can feel you’re confident in your words."
Akshara smirked and replied to him, "No one knows what our destiny beholds unless we move forward."
Karen paused for a while to look at her beauty and sat beside her closely to confess his love. "Axe… I…?"
Akshara turned to Karen and asked him, "How did you know I was here?"
Karen replied with a sigh of disappointment, "It drove me mad when the white dragon snatched you from the witch palace."
Akshara asked him with a surprised tone, "Am I being snatched by a white dragon?"
Karen nodded and examined her, and Akshara asked him to continue, "The dragon thought you were the witch and took you away. Then we were sent to Ukada by the black witch by captivating Nuraz and his family. Everyone told me you would have died. But I wanted to find you. So I came to Frozen Crescent with my pack."
Akshara posted her question again, "Karen… Listen to my question and answer... How did you know I was there in the castle?"
Karen answered her honestly, "Axe… a dragon... helped me."
"Karen..." said Akshara as Karen turned away to get up. "Look at my eyes..."
Karen narrowed his eyes. "Axe… I"
Karen looked away to control his love and thought to himself, "It is not the perfect timing, but I am captivated by her eyes… I had waited a long time to look at those eyes. But after being with dragons, she grew fierce. Will she accept me?"
Akshara awakened the zoned out Karen, "Karen... I am asking you to tell me who helped you to find me?"
Karen replied, with much hesitation, "Night Fury named Nora."
Akshara breathed fire on hearing the name and understood the plot webbed by Nora and thought to herself, "Why does everyone aim at me only to hurt?"
Karen asked her, "Axe," "Why does the dragon call you his bride?"
Akshara replied, "It’s a long story... Initially, he did it to save me. Later, we don’t know how we got into ourselves. As he is a wizard too, by nature, he used to jinx my dreams to merge with him. And then it continued. " The amulet she wore radiated to fill the darkness with brightness.
Karen asked about that, "Why does it glow... what is it?"
Akshara replied to him, withholding the amulet, "It will glow whenever I think of him."
Karen enquired her, "What is that… Do you need to wear this?"
Akshara replied, with a pause, "Yes... I need this. He made it out of his dragon scale, a feather of his wizard wings."
"Karen, wait, how did you find me in Crystal Forest?" Akshara asked, and Karen replied, "The same dragon helped me."
Karen looked at the eyes of Akshara, which glowed brighter than the amulet on her neck, and asked her with a hard tone, "Who will you choose-ME or HIM?"
Akshara understands the core meaning of his question and answers him, "It is hard to tell. I cannot choose one between you both. Choosing one means losing the other one. You both are equally important to me. You are my childhood friend; I feel pure friendship with you. As for Dev, he is a..."
When Akshara was explaining, the sound of crushing dried leaves was heard, indicating someone’s presence. Karen and Akshara looked around, and Karen sniffed that people were approaching them from both adjacent sides.
On one hand, Nuraz and his family approached them, and in the other direction, Alabruz and his pack warriors approached them.
