52. Royal Possession

When everything was going well on the western side of the Daxino Uvet, the northern side was probably filled with tension and tangles of strategies. In the kingdom of Ukada,
Yadivah, the luna queen of the werewolves clan was seated on her throne in the throne room, her evil-filled eyes were eagerly fixed on the entrance of the throne room. Her patience in waiting made her punch her fist against the handrest of her throne which looked like she was sitting on the human’s skull.
“Why he has been taking longer to reach here?” Yadivah grunted.
A vast figure of a wolf appeared before Yadivah and bowed to Yadivah and upon the order, the wolf changed its initial form to mortal form, Yanti Neguvex, the Delta werewolf.
Delta kneeled before Yadivah, “My Luna, Command me...?”
Yadivah replied, “Delta... I know you wanted a promotion to your rank... Do as my command, I will promote you...”
Delta replied, “My Luna, Anything for my position... Command me”
“Bring your daughter here, I’ve some strategies to discuss with her,” Yadivah commanded him with an evil smile on her face.
“I feel honoured with the words of luna. My ancestors are devoted to serving this kingdom and you. She will be soon here with much pleasure to meet the legendary Luna queen in person.” Delta added some words to express his gratitude for his call.
Yadivah looked exactly wicked in her eyes and smiled in an evil way to bring her evil side to reality again. She laughed in a demonic way to vent her evil out from the concealed part of her mind.
Within a few hours of intervals, a she-wolf appeared in front of Yadivah and bowed. “Rise and show your mortal form,” Yadivah ordered.
The she-wolf, the daughter of delta changed its original form to mortal form, “Hail Luna! Hail Ukada kingdom!”
Yadivah was stunned by the mortal appearance of the Delta’s daughter, “Your mortal form is attractive.”
“Thanks my Luna, but not more than your charms.”
“Hmm, Delta, your daughter is a player of her tongue. Impressive! How are you called?”
“D’Rona Yanti Neguvex”
“Rona, I have an offer for you, perhaps a task.”
“Anything for my Queen”
“Bring my son back to me and I will change your title to D’Rona Karen Redclaws”
Both Delta Yanti and his daughter D’Rona bowed to the luna queen, Yadivah and Delta Yanti stammered to find words, “My… My queen, it’s… It’s a great honour for my ancestor and inheritance. My daughter is raised hearing your legendry history. She will complete your task.”
“Rona, quick task completion leads to changing your title quickly,” Yadivah remarked.
“I will not disappoint you, my luna queen.”
D’ Rona changed to her wolf form and paced towards the entrance of the kingdom to search for Karen. She sniffed his scent all the way long to find him.

In the Frozen Crescent,
“Devvv, Dev…?” Ivan Shirk called him to discuss something serious when Dev got indulged in the exotic eyes of Akshara with their tangles of holding her on his legs. Akshara broke her eye contact with Dev and looked at Ivan.
“Your friend wants to talk to you. Why don’t you talk to him?” Akshara told him in his ears which were closed to her mouth.
“Oh, Firefly is jealous and wants us to stop being in love,” Dev replied.
Akshara hide her blushing smile and looked at his icy blue iris, “We have more time. It's like… you are abandoning him ever since you met me. I think he worried little.”
Akshara got her sight widened towards the friendship Dev and Ivan shared, “And, I promise that I won’t be the stopping wall between you and him.”
“I know it; my eternal bliss maybe his mate may bring us friendship to end.” Dev chuckled.
Akshara stopped him, “Stop, no one is harming your friendship unless you both mess it.”
Dev dropped her to the floor and Akshara was worried that she could stand the chillness. But she didn’t express it outside. Before her feet touched the ground, she found something in between her feet and the ground.
She looked down at her feet and found she was wearing a shoe made of ice. When Dev passed her to Ivan, she thought, “What’re these, icy shoes for the icy floor? How quick I got my shoes!”
“Dev, how are we taking her to the castle?”
“What’s your problem with it?”
“Dev, we fly to the castle. She is human, she cannot fly.”
“She is a human, she cannot fly. I know it. That’s how I have taken her from witch palace to my kingdom.”
“We can’t do the same here, Dev. We need to acknowledge Las Oajar about your bride and we need to get permission from White Queen, your mother.”
“Very well, you take care of all those things. I have more things to do.”
“Dev, you serious? You can be with her for ages. Nobody is snatching her. To these severe things, I need your presence. Even though I am general and your friend, I cannot go against the Las Oajar.”
“Ivy, she is not used to my mortal form, she gets used to my bird form, phoenix. Don’t you think I buy some time to be with her and get to know her better since we are sharing our destiny for ages?”
“Been with you for ages? What about me? Am I not sharing my destiny with you? Devrit, I am done. Your bride, your life. Don’t involve me. I am going back to the castle. You seek the way to bring her to your castle.”
Ivan Shirk turned to the mighty red dragon and flew to the Ice Castle leaving Dev and Akshara back in the Frozen Crescent. Akshara who have been listening to them voiced, “Am I to blame?”
“Of course not. He has gone to sort the things out in the castle for our arrival. In the meantime, we shall accommodate in the royal chamber (the secondary chamber) as for now.” Dev replied.
“Agreed, I am going back to my chamber while you go back to the royal chamber of Frozen Crescent.” Akshara departed, Dev intended to stop her, “Are you leaving back your husband just after the hours we get married?”
“Secondary chamber is for royal not for barmaids…”
Before she completed her words, Dev picked her up in his arms and led his way to the secondary chamber, “If it’s for royals, then you are my royal possession.”

In the witch palace of Ardna Chirig,
The black queen laughed vigorously in her room and hurried to the prison of the witch palace. The black witch descended to the prison which was built underground to meet with the Wintergreen family.
The black witch asked her raven guard to drag Nuraz out of the prison. The cries of Azile and Deniza have filled the entire prison and they are reminded behind the bars. The black witch placed her head of Nuraz under her right foot and started to crush his head.
Nuraz left out a cry in pain and the black witch held one of his arms to separate from his body.
Azile and Deniza pleaded with the black witch, “Please... Spare his life... Tell me what do you want?”
The black witch simpers her evil laugh and jinxes to remove the right thumb finger from his hand. The blood oozed out of his hand and Nuraz fainted due to the overflow of blood from his body.
Azile shouted a cry, “Please... Leave my father... Father... Father...”
Deniza beseeched the black witch, “My queen... We will do what you say... please don’t hurt us anymore... please”
The black witch mouthed, “Deny... You are so clever... prepare your beloved daughter to serve me...”
The black witch disappeared from the prison while Nuraz was thrown inside with his family. Azile and Deniza rushed to take him in their arms and Deniza took a piece of cloth from her dress to treat his wounds.
Nuraz wiped the tears off his wife, “Deny... Don’t cry... Also, don’t convince our daughter to be her slave.”
Azile hugged her father and replied, “No... Father... I won’t allow her to hurt my family... I will do whatever she says... Even it may cast my life.”
Azile stood up straight with a strong heart hoping to save her parents from the hold of Nicoria Blackfire. Her father and mother wept for their ill fate of themselves.
