Lyceon - The dark lord

Allison stared at her with mouth agape, they had prepared already whereas Allison had forgotten about her escape plan. What she could have replied to her. She didn't want to leave the kingdom yet.

"Naomi, what are you guys going to do?" Apart from her reluctance, Allison didn't want her friends in danger too. Dark walkers won't spare them if they get caught by them. She knew it!

Naomi looked around with her vigilant gaze and sighed dejectedly. She stepped near Allison and whispered. "We will take you from the back border line of the kingdom where only a few guards are patrolling because there are rare chances of invading by the attackers normally from there so we will use this to our advantage but for that you need to reach there anyhow. Rest we will handle, Allison."

Allison pursed her lips and sighed, palming her forehead. What to do now? She was in a dilemma of how to handle this situation.

"Can we...delay it, Naomi? I will talk to Nora about this because I need...."

Naomi Shook her head Immediately and clasped her hands.

"Don't be a fool, Ali. These people are not good for you. Don't forget that they killed your only family. They kill for power and domination. The Dark Lord will use you for his purpose, because of your powers. Once He gets what He wants, only the goddess knows what will happen to you." Naomi snapped in an urgent tone.

"How did you know about..."

"Nora told me and I also sensed it today." Naomi answered her, interrupting Allison.

"Another big war is going to happen between the werewolves and vampires and the Dark Lord is going to eradicate everyone. He is manipulating our species to stand and fight against the vampire community. We can't get involved in this. He is no better than our Alpha. He wants to rule over the werewolves and other supernaturals by shedding bloodbath." She spat in fury.

"Think with an open mind and make your decision. Find your brother if possible, Ali. I already lost my mate, I have no one. So I will avenge his death but you! Think about your future. Your powers could be exploited or misused by these people. I am only here to help you. Nora requested me to pass this message to you, Allison. You are a good girl, you could have a bright future. Don't waste your whole life here."

Naomi's words hit Allison like a bullet. She was already confused about her decision and now Naomi made it more complicated.

"But who told you....." Allison was speaking when they heard a familiar female voice. Naomi left her hand with an alert in her eyes.

"I have no time to talk much. Please remember this...." And then she explained their little plan before stepping back and jumping down from the balcony not to get her scent spread around. Allison swallowed looking down at the space. "What are you doing here, Allison? I was looking out for you there!" Rebecca asked her urgently and looked down as she noticed Allison blank stare there. "What happened!" she asked again.

"I am feeling suffocated, can we just leave?" Allison asked softly. Her mind was disturbed to the extent of blocking everything happening around her. Rebecca blinked and smelled the whiff of a foreign scent.

"Sure!" She muttered before they headed towards the ballroom. Once they went back to the party, They heard the announcement was being made.

".... so we need the support of every clan affiliated to the council to fight the enemy who struck again after ten years. It's my request to the Alphas of every pack and leaders of every clan to cooperate." Alpha Mellina stated, standing beside Lyceon but as soon as her gaze went on Allison, she stopped, probably recalling the scene a few minutes ago.

As if she came to know about Allison's ability, she went silent and Lyceon handled the moment to cover her silence.

"Keir Frederick is back again."

The whole ballroom fell into harsh whispering, stunned by his statement. Lyceon breathed in before disclosing his intention.

"And this time I won't let him slip away. His extinction would be final now. For once and all. Nobody can intervene in my race, my territory and go off easily. I will rip him apart and those who will support him and try to stand against me in this battle, will bear the same fate I would give to him." He growled loudly, showing the intensity of his warning. His eyes flashed red, an indication to show his power and authority with a promise. The whole room turned silent and his intense and authoritative aura forced them to bow in submission. A silent acknowledgement!

Allison could see the raging bubbles bursting inside him through his lethal gaze and it sent chills to her bones. She wasn't affected by his tone but she was feared by him and his intentions. What if Naomi's words were true? Lyceon calmed down seeing the submission of the people and nodded at them before Mellina informed them about the hunting and alerting them about the original vampire enemies. But Allison's heart slowed down once again with unpleasant possibilities. Naomi's words rang in her ears.

They kill for power and domination!

Is it true that Lyceon was seeking out her abilities to exploit them in his interest?

And who is Keir Frederick?

"Come!" Allison was startled and snapped out of her reverie at Lyceon's voice. She didn't realize when He walked down to her. She blinked up at him with a numb face.

"... So this Ball party would end after a dance and then the hunting would start. As I can see, few had already found their mates tonight." Mellina smirked looking at the newly found mates smiling at each other and holding hands among the crowd.

"So everybody! Carry on!" She cheered loudly as the music started and the couples jumped onto the dance floor. Allison kept looking at him, trying to look calm because she couldn't be certain about anything as now. But an elusive smirk on his face skipped her heartbeat though.

He stepped closer to her, his eyes had a different effulgence tonight which was foreign to her but she couldn't feel positive vibes from them. And it proved right away when He whispered something which dropped her heart to her stomach, "And you are going to be the Queen of this bloody reign, Angel."
