Chapter 47

" When a guy gets intimate with a lady, will he be able to love another?" She asked scared that Raphael may never look at her side.

" Intimate as in sex?" Anna asked to be sure.

Elsa found those words difficult to utter, so she just shook her head slowly.

" This girl!" Anna laughed. " Where were you when your mates were exploring and leaving the life of a single girl?  Anna asked still laughing.

 " I don't know what you are talking about." She responded feeling very shy.

" Anyways, two people making out doesn't mean they love each other. Almost all the times, it is done just for the gratification and for the pleasure of it, nothing more. The two people may not even see each other again talk more of talking to each other. It's just for that moment and after that, it's over. " Anna explained.

" What's over?" Elsa asked wanting to be sure she understood everything Anna said.

" The so called relationship between them or the so called love between them that moment is over." She explained.

Elsa wondered if that was the reason why Raphael was apologizing to her when she caught both of them. 'And was that also the reason why he never spoke about her or even tried looking for her? ' she wondered.

" Anyways, that's it! I have to go now." She said hurrying out of the room.

Back in the forest there was serious unrest among the werewolves as they found it difficult to choose a werewolf. Each werewolf suggested themselves as the best person to rule the pack while others fought against it.

" What is going on?" Zaria asked one day as she stood watching the whole argument. She couldn't believe that the werewolves now argued over position. It had never been heard of and now it was happening before her eyes.

" You coward, how will you lead people to battle." One werewolf yelled at the other.

" You glutton, the only thing you can think of is food. And yet you dare to stand before me to talk about leadership." The other one yelled back.

" You lazy bone... You f**l....you chicken"  They kept pointing at each other's weakness and giving them reasons why they shouldn't speak of being the Alpha.

" This is what happens when a group refuses the best choice of an elder. This is what happens when we turn our back from the surest way given to us. Let th continue fighting while Elsa and I continue to find a way to defeat the weredragons." Raphael said disappointed at his fellow wolfs.

" You've been hearing from her?" Zaria asked suprised that he mentioned her name. Ever since Elsa ran away, Raphael had refused to discuss anything about her. 

" Yes, she is in the den leader f the dragons but she will be fine." He responded before walking away. It was best he kept the details to himself who knew what was in a werewolves heart.

 Elsa admired herself in the mirror with the Beautiful red flowing gown she was wearing. The gown exposed her back but the hand of the dress was a little off her shoulders. It was a flare long gown with beautiful embroideries. Joanne and Rose used the best makeup on her, the nose beautiful jewelries and the perfect shoes to go with it. Her hair was styled in such a way that only few strands dropped on her shoulders. She wore a beautiful golden tiara on her head which made her look like a princess. A pair of long white gloves were given to her to wear just like every other maiden in the palace.

Meanwhile, Raphael was finding it hard to choose an outfit. He had to ask Zoe and Zaria for help since they were the closest to him. Finally he got himself an attire that made him look very handsome. 

" You look great" Zaria said giving his hair the last styling.

" Thanks guys. I'm leaving now, see you later." He said immediately and lept out. 

*****

" Immediately you see someone who looks like this at the gate, let me know." Sham said to one of the guys that he often sent on secret errands, he gave him a picture of Raphael while adjusting his shirt. He looked so good ready for the party.

" I'm going to spend so much with you my love." He chuckled as he raised a necklace up. It looked similar to the one Fiona wore whenever he she wanted to wear the appearance of Anna.

With the way Zaria styled Raphael's hair and even dressed him up, one who knew him before would have to look thrice before they could recognize him. He looked like a crown prince who came from one of the prominent kingdoms.

Raphael had to make arrangements for a chariot that would take him to the venue of the party. Walking down there would be less classy and princely. He hurried up to the weredragon kingdom looking all dashy. He rode to the kingdom in his chariot and when he got to them party, it was already dark.

" Welcome sir" he was greeted at the gate and he responded with a bow.

Elsa wondered if Raphael was around. The two doors opened wide ushering in a damsel who no one seemed to know where she came from.

All eyes seemed to be on her at the partly bright room. Elsa who wasn't used to such attention blamed Joanne and Rose for making her look this beautiful. Eyes turned as she walked to greet the King; this was required of all guest. 

" My Lord" she said with a bow.

" Oh, Elsa! You look breathtaking. Go mingle with the handsome men in this kingdom and I hope you find one you like." He said with a grin. The slave girl was busy with serving Adrain and other guest. Whenever Adrain's mind flashed back to what happened in the bathroom, he would make sure to squeeze her ass giving the poor girl a fright. 

' If this continues, he would make sure to have his way with me. ' she thought to herself as her caught him staring at her cleavage while she poured him a drink.

Elsa stood at one corner of the hall searching around for Raphael with her eyes.

" Hey beautiful. Do you know how ravishing you look tonight?" A man walked up to her all smiles. He took time to admire her body and how so much he felt like having taste of her.

" I'm sorry, I came with someone." She turned every guy down glad that Raphael was coming and she didn't have to choose from there lustful men.

" Hey Sweet stellar." She heard the voice she had been longing to hear behind her. She quickly turned to look at the nose handsome man she had met in her life. To worsen it, he was giving her the brightest smile with fitted his black outfit.

" Who did this to you?" Elsa heard herself ask as her eyes roamed over his body.

" Well, Zaria and Zoe did the work of my stylist." He appreciated them deep down in his heart seeing the drooling look on Elsa. It was then he noticed how great she looked.

" You look heavenly." He said giving her a cute smirk.

That was the compliment that made Elsa believe she really looked very beautiful. Every other person that made a compliment sounded like they were trying to woo her to get in between her legs or just to have a conversation with her even though that wasn't their intention. 

" Thank you." She blushed unable to hide her pinked cheeks.

Sham watched them from afar and all he needed to do was to get Raphael to drink a cocktail and then he would make sure to lock him up somewhere and enjoy the rest of the evening with Elsa.

" Come let's dance." Raphael finally said having able to control his ranging heart. One could see that he was nervous as he stretched his hand for Elsa to take them.

Elsa laughed at how he couldn't even ask a lady for a dance properly. Between both gender, the male is always known to be very experienced and they take the lead most times. 

" Look over there." She signalled to him. Raphael watched a dug flex his elbow for a lady to our her hand in and they both slid to the center of the room to dance. He watched how close the man and woman got while dancing, they were so close that the lady was typically resting on him while he had his one hand on he waist and the other finger interlocked in hers. Raphael gulped remembering the lady time he got that close to Elsa.

" That's how it is done." Elsa's voice interrupted his thoughts. He saw her smiling and he was sure she got the nervousness in his eyes. Elsa realized that if she didn't push further for Raphael to make a move, they could both stare at each other through the night.

" Never" she whispered shaking that thought of.
