Chapter 28 - Confusion (2/2)

”How could I possibly imagine such things. She definitely looked at me like she knew me on the first meeting, but acted she did not on the second. And I will get to the bottom of why she acted so indifferent when she obviously knew me.” Luke thought decisively as he turned and walked towards the serpent queen.

The werewolves were completely unconcerned with the crowds' unrest. They looked at their king and his mate with fervent eyes, admiration, envy, and adoration clear as the silver-blue moon in their Underworld Palace.

”Our king has finally found his mate!” A brown wolf excitedly roared as he dashed back and forth in one spot.

”Yes! Our king has finally found his queen! We will have a queen now!” Another wolf with gray fur and eyes replied back with the same excitement.

The other werewolves joined the two and the pack moved forward to circle around their King and Queen in joyous dance, ignorant of the other races' weird stares.

”So, what is the Snake clan planning on doing? Will you be switching participants?” The moment he reached her, Luke asked the snake queen in a deep voice that rang out through the stadium.

Immediately, the demon queen, devil king, and eagle king turned their attention to the snake queen and the supreme elder of the Bloodsucking clan, interested in the sudden direction of their conversation.

The heads of the other lesser races also looked over with indifferent expressions. No matter what changed or did not change because of the wolf king and serpentine mating, it would not have any influence on them.

They did not need to overly involve or concern themselves over unnecessary issues that had nothing to do with them. Because their path was set and would be so for the next decade.

Feeling the sudden blazing gazes of the other three supreme clans, Queen Nakee felt on edge. She did not know what the supreme elder of the Bloodsucking clan was getting at.

”Switching participants? What do you mean by switching participants?” Queen Nakee asked back in confusion.

”Surely, you are aware that now your lead participant is a wolf king's mate, she would have to go to the Underworld Palace of the werewolves? Once she enters the Underworld Palace, she will be considered the mate of the werewolf king and as such, part of the werewolf clan. In that case, she could not be representing your Snake clan when she participants in the competition 7 ice nights from now, right?” Luke asked with derision dripping off his thin lips as he watched the snake queen with his pale blue squinted eyes.

Queen Nakee understood what the supreme elder was getting at once he mentioned Versailles entrance into the Underworld Palace. As there had never been such precedence before, even she was caught off guard when she saw the wolf king proclaiming Versailles as his mate.

Not only was there never a wolf king taking a serpentine as his mate in history before, but there also was never a mate claiming session taking place during the period of the Battle of Wars even though the whole populace of the realm gathered at the Eternal Mountains.

The confusion now was, why were such matters that never happened in the entire history of the Nar realm before happening at the same time now?
