Chapter 81
In the bible, it says; 'On the seventh day, God rested."
But to Riel, he was just about to create history. He wrote a later to Matt, asking him to meet him at mountain boundary which separated the Moon Stone pack from the White wolves.
芦Meet me at the boundary by twelve鈥� Alone.禄 he wrote.
Matt laughed as he read the eight words aloud. 'What the fu*k do you think you're trying to do, Riel? Is this some kinda game or what?"
He looks at his royal guard. 'Inform the Chief commander to get the armies ready, we're leaving to the boundary at twelve. '
' Yes, sire?" He saluted, before leaving.
Matt laughed. 'Oh, it's the seventh day. I can't wait to complete the unfinished job on you."
Sophie cat walked into his room. ' I heard your brother sent you a message, what did he say?" She asked.
' He wants me to meet with him at the boundary this noon alone." He replied.
' So you're going alone? ' She asked. 'Darling, I don't trust him a bit. Going alone isn't a safe idea, we don't know what he is up to."
'I know my brother more than anyone else. I know what he is capable of doing, so he can't get to me."
' I must follow you to this boundary just in case he tries to do some thing stupid. '
' No, don't worry, sweetheart, I'll be fine. Besides, I need you alive for me because very soon, after this war is over, I'll spread my oil in you."
Sophie smiled. ' I can't wait to have this oil in me. '

Desse was feeling weak and dizzy from starvation. Since the day of execution, which was two days ago, Matt had ordered no meal for her.
Desire who tried sneaking in again wasn't given the chance to enter by the guards.
'What? Shouldn't I at least see her for the last time?"
' No entry. ' Said one of the guards.
' On who's order?" She yanked.
' His majesty." He answered.
' Well tell your so-called majesty to fu*k off." She angrily walked out.
And on the other hand, it's been her all alone in the dungeon. No one to talk to, no one to look at. It's just herself, repeating the same conversation over and over again.
' Seven days. Seven days. It's seven days and Matt is dead. Who is Matt?" She hummed. ' Jane, you are gonna be the best queen ever. '
She stands up but the chains stopped her. ' Where am I?" She looked around. ' Oh my goodness, is this paradise?"
She chuckled. ' I can't believe this is paradise." She looked at one corner of the dungeon. 'Mom, is that you? Where is dad and Camila?"
She bursted out laughing, ' I can't believe we're in a fu*king paradise. Look, this place has always been my dream land."
One may think she was actually talking to someone, but she was only talking to herself.
And this was getting a lot worster every minute. She was loosing it. She was loosing her mind every seconds.
'Matt, look I made us your favourite meal." Looks at the door. 'What are still standing there for? Isn't this your favourite? You even told me, remember?" She frowned.
' You don't want to eat, right? Because you have found another woman, right?" She started crying. ' You're a cheater, Matt! You dared to cheat on me? I hate you! I hate you so much! Get away from here! I don't want to look at your face! Just go away! Go!! '
She fell to the ground, crying like a child. 'You broke my heart for another woman. I hate you." She stopped crying, wiping her tears. 'Oh, I need to water the gardens. No, the flowers are all fading fast. I have to do something. Camila, help me out."
She gathered some part of the straw grasses on the ground beside her, making them look like a dish. She picked a single straw, putting it into her mouth.
She made a disgusting face, throwing the straw away. 'You made a bad meal, Desire. Haven't you learned how to cook?" She yelled at the air. 'I'm thirsty, go get me something to drink. Or wait, I don't want water, I don't even know what I want. Just go." She waved her hand.
' Desire, what are you doing here?" She laughed again. ' Where's Desire? Who is Desire? What am I even saying? Oh, don't worry Desire I was just joking." She chuckled, shoving her hair. 'Do you mind for something to eat? Hold on," she paused for a while, then started laughing again.
'You don't mind for something to eat because you cooked a fu*king bad food."

Matt matched with his armies to the place Riel had asked him to come.
Matt and his people got there first, Riel was nowhere in sight.
'Sire, are you sure this isn't a trap?" Asked his royal guard.
'I know. And that is why I brought the armies along. Don't worry about my brother, he's single handed. He's got no one to fight alongside him."
Riel appeared from the other side. He had no one with him. The two brothers exchanged glance, no one letting his eyes from the other.
'You read my letter, don't you?" He asked.
'Of course, I did. I was supposed to be here alone, right? But what makes you think I'd trust you? I have always known your type, Riel, so don't try playing the saint here, okay?"
' Should we show them why you needed to sacrifice nine innocent people just to face me. Or is it twelve now?" He asked, making about four steps closer as he transformed into a wolf.
'I didn't sacrifice those people because I was scared of you, I was only eliminating people who believed in you. '
' So, I'm gonna eliminate you and everyone who believes in you." He rowled, running towards Matt.
Matt jumped from his horse, throwing himself to Riel with his claws pierced out.
Riel also threw himself high, and they both bounced on each other, landing on the ground.
Riel first stood up, dashing to him. He grabbed his neck tight, lifting him high and smacking his back to the ground.
Matt took hold of his wrist, pulling his hand off his neck. He kicked him by the stomach, Riel went back but held himself from falling to the ground.
Matt ran to him, throwing blows at him but he was fast enough to dodge them. Though, he missed the last punch which landed on his cheek.
Matt smiled.
Riel rubbed his cheek with his teeth, spitting out a little amount of blood on the ground. He smiled back.
Again, Matt rushed to him close to land another blow on his face, but Riel lowered himself, grabbing him by the waist.
He made him turn, and in a second he was on top of him. He'd punch him, and Matt would roll over, offering punches at him.
This they kept doing for over six rounds, Riel ended it with a heavy blow on his nose.
Matt groaned, his face stained with drops of blood. Riel twisted his neck at both sides, rubbing off the blood stains on the sides of his lips.
'It's not too late to back off, Matt. I'm warning you." He said darkly.
'And it's not too late to sit your ass in the cave. '
Riel angrily turned to him, his face turned to a deep frown which can scared humanity from earth.
Matt smiled, standing to his feet. 'I got you with that, didn't I?"
In a second, Riel was grabbing his throat. 'I don't wanna remember I got stucked in there all because of you. You betrayed me, Matt. You left and yes, I did suffered for your sins, and I am never gonna do that again. '
' You should be happy you aren't dead."
' Of course, I am. At least, your death will be by my hands."
' And you think I am scared?"
' I don't want you to, because I don't wanna feel pitiful for your sake."
' No one is gonna support you, Riel. No one loves you as much as they love me."
' Love?" He scoffed. ' That wasn't love, Matt, that was fear. They only worship you because they are scared of dying. I was the one who showed you love. I was the one who had that characteristic, but you took it for your selfish gain.
Look at them, ' they turned to the armies who watched them. ' can you listen to their heartbeats? That's fear of your survival. They don't want you, Matt, you aren't their king."
They were staring back at each other. 'For hundred years I starved, feeding in the anger you caused in me. I never saw the light, only darkness. And every time I keep thinking about us, what comes in my heart is revenge."
' If there's anyone to be blamed, it's father. I was supposed to take his love and not you. I am meant to sit on that throne and not you. You are just a kid who knows nothing about leadership. That alpha mark, was was for me and no one else."
' So, where is the mark?" He requested. ' Your eyes aren't even red yet, what makes you this alpha you speak proudly of? You wanna know who the real alpha is? I am. I'm the alpha now."
His eyes turned dark red, his face looking more like a real beast. His body grew twice larger than before that Matt looked like a cub wolf to him.
Matt was surprised as to how it happened, fear gripped his heart and soul. How the heck did this happen?
He has never even killed an alpha, how possible is it for him to be one?
Riel lifted him to the sight of his armies, smacking his neck on his knee bone.
Matt shocked, bleeding out blood from his mouth. Riel grabbed his neck with both hands, tearing off his head out of his body.
He raises his head high, blood dropping out from it. The armies stepped out of their horses, kneeling with one feet and with their heads all bowed to the ground.
' I am the alpha now." He rowled.
Riel sat on Matt's horse as they all rode back home. On hearing the news, Sophie ordered the guards to protect the palace.
But on seeing Riel riding on Matt's horse, they all fell on their knees. 'All hail the King."
Sophie knew he was going to come to the royal hall, so she went there first, sitting on the king's throne with Matt's crown on her head.
Riel stood by the door, watching her. ' I don't remember that crown staying on a woman's head."
'I was just about to break history."
' I'm sorry but that crown belongs to me now."
' You don't know what I am capable of doing, Riel."
' Don't try using witchcraft to scare me, young lady. Or do you want the same fate as your husband?"
' Are you threatening me?"
' Just a warning, sweetheart."
She began mumbling words as she made her way to him. Riel was feeling a little weakness in him, he fought with the feeling.
'What are you doing to me?"
'Just what I am supposed to do a long time ago." She was standing before him. She leans her lips to his ear, ' I will take off this crown only on one condition. You will make me your queen." She pulls away, casting a seductive glance at him.
' This should be our little deal. I'll be expecting an answer by tomorrow, sweetheart." She places a kiss on his right cheek. ' Do have a nice day, Your highness."
She left him, leaving the hall with a smirk.
As soon as she left the hall, the spell left him too. Not withstanding his crown was in the hands of a witch, he was happy to be back home.
And he was going to do anything鈥� whatever it takes to get his crown, not minding what she is.
