"My queen! I have a report!" Ertha said as the group of Lycans enter the throne room. Delaneia stood up from her seat. Vossler entered, along with the preplexed-looking Kiara who carries an unconscious Ailuran. Vossler helped Kiara lay the unconscious Ailuran down in front of the queen. "Merlara, the Ailuran's chief huntress. What a surprise. She's caught red-handed then?" The queen examined Merlara's body. Dracyian came in and stood by Delaneia.
"She is." Vossler nodded. "What took you a long, by the way?" Dracyian turned to Ertha. "The Ailuran escaped." Ertha informed. Delaneia gritted her teeth in annoyance. "That slippery cub! Is this one of Farkas' traps?" She paced. "Worry not, queen. That's practically a good news. Ertha didn't state the full report." Vossler pushed Ertha to the ground, making her kneel with a groan. "Wait! Let me continu-"
"What do you mean, Vossler?" Dracyian furrowed his eyebrows. "She crossed our entryway. After crossing, she closed the entryway temporarily and that's what took us long." Vossler smirked. "She's here?!" The queen smiled and Vossler nodded.
"Then what are we waiting for? Vossler, Kiara, head to the entryway. Gather some of our warriors and search the area near the entryway." The queen grinned. "H-How about me? I-I can help!" Ertha said, looking up to Delaneia. Dracyian whispered something to Delaneia.
"Before the two of you go, grab this one and put her to the dungeon, along with Merlara. Lock them up." Delaneia said before walking away. Vossler and Kiara grabbed Ertha's arm. "Wait! Please! Don't do this! I-I can do better! Give me a chance!" Ertha said as she was being dragged away but Delaneia didn't bother looking while Dracyian smirked.

Zarina stood up and immediately controlled her scent, hiding it from the beautiful lass who is already approaching. She was about to strike Zarina but the Ailuran held her hand up in surrender and removed her mask so the lass can see her well. "I mean no harm! Look! I have no weapons with me! I merely stumbled here!" Zarina excused and the lass seems convinced. She felt reassured so she relaxed at the presence of the Ailuran.
"You fell badly. Stay still, please. Let me examine you." She said as she gracefully crouched down. All Zarina did was freeze, not because she was told to stay down but because the girl's beauty is so captivating.
"I'm fi-" "A shifter?" The lass asked, flinching back as she whiffed a familiar scent. "No! There's just, a lot of those shifters on the other side! I was running away from them that's why I probably got their scen-" "A human, then?" The lass said. "I... yes. I was running away and I ended up here." Zarina lied.
"Quamara! Get back here and mend me!" A male voice called from a distance. Also, familiar.
The beautiful girl huffed, looking distracted and sad after hearing the call. "Quamara?" Zarina muttered. The girl looked at her. "I am Quamara." She introduced. "I'm Zarina. You look distant so suddenly." Zarina said. "Ugh. I'm just tired of his... sensual attempts." The lass looked so bothered. Zarina's heart thumped. She's always been protective to girls.
"Then let's go away from here. Do you know where we can hide for a while? Just thinking of someone harassing you is just, disgusting. Let me join you as you hide." Zarina suggested, standing up. "W-Wait! Are you sure you're oka-"
"I told you, i'm okay and I will not be if whoever that person who's calling you finds you here and does his attempts to you, again." Zarina said, determined to save Quamara. "Very well. Follow me." Quamara gave in. The two sneaked out from the sight of the man and continued their way to where they can hide. Zarina took a glimpse of the man and realized that it was Dracyian.
"Dracyian is harassing Quamara?! Ugh, his image in my perspective is getting worse and worse as I meet other people."
Zarina and Quamara settled on the side of the lake.
