Chapter 39 - Compromise? (1/2)

The races trembled, unconsciously shivering as they thought about the reason why they attacked the serpentine. They were against the union of the snake and wolf leading to the present situation.

The same wolf that currently had three supreme clan leaders under his jaws and paws.

Sweat covering their backs, they nervously swallowed as they uncomfortably shifted on the hard cracked crimson cement.

They hoped the serpentine would deem them too puny and insignificant to bother mentioning them in her conversation with the wolf king. They did not want the Great King's dark sight to shift on them.

”You can release them now,” Luke said to Ramose, his expression indifferent.

Ramose glanced at Versailles who slightly nodded in agreement. Loosening his hold, werewolf Ramose moved back, crouching by her side.

The Demon Queen, Eagle King, and Devil King straightened up, healing their wounds as they warily looked at Ramose. They were still not able to accept the fact that the three of them combined could not deal with the werewolf king.

It was the same case with their clan members as well. The three clans groups could not handle the two Snake and Wolf clans.

Were they growing weaker with the passage of time or were the wolves growing stronger?

Either reason was not to their liking as they both affirmed them weak.

The Demon Queen, Rona Mai's expression flickered with various emotions as she looked at the wolf king. The beast had clenched her neck in a death grip, but the strength he exerted from his hand was not meant to take her life. This much she was certain of since during the whole exchange, there was neither an increase nor decrease in the force gripping her neck.

That was only possible if he had perfect control over his strength.

This also meant that the wolf did not use his full strength to fight against them. She shivered as she thought of the implications of such possibility. The Werewolf clan, though few in numbers, were strong enough to face three of the five clans to a draw. And that is when the possibility of their hidden strength was not taken into account.

If they joined forces with the Snake clan, then the Nar realm would truly be under their rule!

No. She could not permit something of that sort to happen. She wouldn't allow that to happen!

Secretly exchanging glances with the Devil King, the two nodded at each other at the exact same time, before looking away.

Luke caught their brief exchange, his eyes filling with a strange light as his expression turned contemplative.

Queen Nakee also moved to her friend's side. The adrenaline rush from the sudden exchange slowly cooling down. Things went down a little too quickly, but they were able to maintain the upper hand. The Werewolf King proved himself to be a greater adversary than any of them anticipated.

She should be happy at the sudden windfall. The first time the Snake clan took sides, it turned out to be with a seemingly weak but strong clan.

However, she was not able to. There was an ominous feeling brewing in the depths of her heart, gnawing on her flesh as it crawled through her skin.
