The King's Queen✔

52. Home

It's been a week since the funeral and things have been pretty uneventful but it was basically what we all needed after all the things we had been through.

Today started just the same, waking up beside Eros, having breakfast, taking a walk together through the pack etcetera.

I was waiting for Eros to join me with our daily lunch routine. We both eat lunch together which I made for both of us but today he was late which is strange as he is most of the time early. After about half an hour of waiting and me playing on my new phone which I got a few days ago; he came back.

His face was guilty, probably from the fact that I waited so long for him. "What happened? Is everything okay?" I asked.

"Everything's fine apart from the fact that tomorrow we have to go," he announced.

I looked at him in confusion "Where?"
"Home," he replied.

"Home?" I echoed, still confused about what is he talking about.

He came and sat beside me before answering in a nostalgic tone "Tierra De Lobos" and with that my memories refreshed when Macy told me that before coming here they all were in Tierra De Lobos or Wolf Land. The place where Eros' castle and the rest of the pack are.

Eros took my silence in a wrong way as he rushed to explain "It's been months since we left and I tried to hold it back but I couldn't any longer. Everyone misses their families back in Tierra De Lobos and also I have been missing on so much of work."

I smiled at him and said "Eros, you didn't need to explain anything. I am not objecting to anything. I know you miss your home and now I have literally no one holding me back here. And my home is where you are. I just remembered what Macy explained to me about it" He flashed me his megawatt smile which always made my heart race and kissed me gently.

"Go and pack everything. We are going home."

"You didn't tell me where exactly is Tierra De Lobos?" I questioned Eros after we took a flight.

"We would be taking a flight till Miami then after that a ride to Tierra De Lobos" he explained.

"But wouldn't that be easy for humans to go? How do you keep humans from it?"

"They keep themselves away from it and those who are too damn curious for their own good are drowned in the sea by violent storms and floods."

"How do many keep themselves away from it?"

"Because for them it is also called a Bermuda triangle."

"Bermuda Triangle?" I exclaimed in horror. "How can we survive through the storms that so many have died?"

"It won't hurt us as I was the one who gave the idea of protecting our land from humans and with the help of a powerful witch, we made a barrier which only allows Royal or our pack members to enter. No other creature could enter our land without my permission and vice versa. As so often these humans couldn't keep their curiosity at bay, I had to do this otherwise everyone would have known about werewolves. The other good thing out of this was no werewolf or vampire or any other creature could enter without my permission." he explained. I soaked all. It is crazy how actually things were. Many people had their own theories about the Bermuda triangle and the truth is way far away from their theories. It does make sense that Tierra De Lobos is situated in the Bermuda triangle as it is the center, the soul of the werewolf kingdom.
And anyone discovering it would be a huge problem.

"Did any human has ever entered it?" I asked curiously.

"They had a few times and we had to remove their memory. It was too much of a hassle of keeping away humans so we had to go extreme measures. Yet now they still try to enter it but they couldn't."

I suddenly had a question in my mind. "Wait, the mystery of Bermuda Triangle is pretty old like years old. How can you put an order for the barrier when you are just 22 years old" I voiced my question.

He looked surprised and bit his lip, probably contemplating how to explain. "You, see I'm 22 years old but at the same time not." I was more confused than before. He sighed when he saw my expression. "We werewolves age very slowly so in human years I'm probably 22 years old but in werewolf years I'm much much older," he confessed almost begrudgingly.

"How old?"

"Almost, 110" he winced. My eyes would have been the size of saucers with my mouth wide open. I thought that there won't be any more surprises but yet again, I'm proved wrong. I wanted to know more about the ages of Bren, Macy, and just everyone but I decided against it. It's already pretty hard to think that I'm going out with someone who is so old.

"Were you ever going to tell me that?" I asked him the simplest question which hopefully won't give me anymore scares.

He scratched the back of his neck, "I was hoping to postpone this conversation as much as possible" he admitted.

Perhaps, ignorance is bliss after all.

I nodded and with all the thoughts of Tierra De Lobos, the Bermuda triangle, and most importantly, Eros' age. I drifted to sleep as it was still early morning.
