The King's Queen✔

61. Queen Of Witches

"So what's the plan?" I asked Eros.

"We are taking a flight from Miami Airport to Manaus Airport which is the nearest airport for Amazon Forest. From there we would take a boat ride to the Forest. Queen Octavia of Witches would wait for us there. And then we would take a 24-hour flight from Manaus Airport to N'djili Airport from there we would have a run to Congo Basin which is Africa's largest and World's second-largest tropical rainforest. Queen Aurelia of Fairies resides there and we would meet her there." He explained.

I nodded and then we packed our bags in silence.

After packing all of our necessities for a stay for at least a week, we together with few warriors went to the airport. Macy, Bren, and Mason were left in charge until we come back.

The past few days have been a blur. We would get up train ourselves and all the pack members, eat, do paperwork, eat, and then sleep. It was hard to give time to each other with this new schedule but at night we would find peace in each other's arms like now we are embracing each other in an airplane.

"Eros?" I asked as I looked up at him.

"Yes?" he murmured as he rubbed circles on my arm.

"What if we lose? What if something happened to you?" I asked questions that were troubling me for a while.

He stopped his actions and thought for a second, resumed them as he looked at me with his green eyes shining bright with determination, love, and a bit of worry. "We won't, Amelia. We would have both Queen Aurelia and Octavia and let's not forget about all the werewolves warriors that we have on our side. We also have me, King of Werewolf, and a Luca who would be a good surprise if it comes to that. Julius won't even stand a chance. Don't underestimate us, baby. We won't lose, I won't let us lose" he vowed to me. I nodded. I cuddled into him and succumbed to sleep.

When I woke up to see that we have arrived at Manaus Airport. Eros was already up and was getting dressed. He looked at me and smiled before leaning down and kissing my forehead gently. I yawned loudly and smiled sleepily at him. He chuckled and said "Get up my sleeping beauty, we have reached"

I dressed up and joined him. Together we walked out of the airplane. And then like he explained to me earlier, a boat was waiting for us at the shore to take seven of us to the Forest. We all boarded and then the boat took off.

Till the time we reached I looked at the surrounding. There was a long river connecting the shore or a small port that was covered with thick, green, huge trees but not as much as our destination which was where we were headed. The forest had so many trees that nothing could be seen beyond them and there was hardly any space for light to pass through each of them. It was astonishingly beautiful seeing so many trees and it also made my wolf howl in joy.

After we reached the edge and beginning of the forest, I was proved right when the rays of sunlight couldn't even reach us but rather scatter around the trees. The person who boated us here left us after Eros handed him money and thanked him.

Eros held my hand and warned me "Walk carefully and try not to touch anything. There are a lot of poisonous bugs and fruits, so please be careful. The walk is not that long but it will be a little slippery as there is a lot of moss and wet plants."

"Are you trying to scare me off because that is totally working," I said half-jokingly.

He smiled at me before kissing my hand and said "Just don't let go of my hands and we will be fine."

For a few minutes, we walked in silence, Eros and I leading while five warriors were walking behind us. Eros leaned down and whispered in my ear, "Don't stare at them for too long, it riles them up." I nodded my head and take a mental note of it.

And pretty soon we reached a clearing. We stopped as soon as we entered it. A moment later, a woman appeared out of thin air before us. She wore a dark cloak as soon as she made eye contact with us, she removed her dark hood that was covering her head. The woman had dark hair, her eyes were covered with black eye makeup, her lips were also in the darkest shade of maroon almost black in color.

"Eros, good to see you. The Queen is expecting you all" her voice was so thick yet almost melodious. It was so unique just like her dark attire. Her black eyes made eye contact with me and I remembered that they don't like to be stared at. So I smiled the smallest smile I could muster and broke the eye contact.

"Heidi" Eros greeted her. She nodded back and led us to a small house a few miles away. The house also had dark exteriors with a chimney. Heidi knocked at the door once and then walked inside with we all following her.

As we walked inside the dark streak continued. The house had a living room without any television. There was a huge shelf which was full of jars and a lot of them had powdered stuff inside them. There were a lot of plants some were dried while some were fresh, they varied in different colors.

A woman with a long black gown with jeweled black lace sleeves walked out of the seeming kitchen. She also had the same looking makeup as Heidi but her hairs were tied up with a small crown gracing her head. As soon as she saw Eros, she smiled a little for a second, unlike Heidi who had a neutral face.

"Eros, it has been a long time since you graced us with your presence. I see, your Queen is also with you," she said to Eros, then turned her attention to me. "I am Queen Octavia you must be Amelia." she introduced herself.

"Queen Octavia, pleased to meet you" I greeted her, she nodded back at me.

"Come on in, have a seat," she said and gestured to the couch, we all obliged. "Now, let's get to business. What help do you need from me?" she asked once we settled down.

"As you know Julius is bringing war and I am almost sure he had something up his sleeve so to gain the upper hand and a surprise on our sleeve. We need two to three most experienced witches and in return whenever you need any help from us, werewolves, I will make sure it gets fulfilled." Eros explained.

She contemplated for a second and gave her consent. "Do you need them now or a little later?" she questioned.

"We were thinking they could arrive before a week from the date when the war would take place," Eros answered.

"Okay, they would be there. Heidi would you like to volunteer?" she questioned Heidi.

"Sure" Heidi shrugged.

Eros handed Octavia a contract which she signed after reading it thoroughly. They shook their hands. "Thank you for helping us, werewolf kingdom won't forget about it" Eros promised.

"Now where are you going next?" Octavia asked.

"We are going to visit Queen Aurelia of Fairies and ask for her help too," Eros answered.

"It would take you more than 24 hours to reach here from here. Why don't I teleport you there" she asked us.

"If it won't be a problem for you then sure, it will give us more time to prepare," Eros answered.

She agreed and it was decided that we would use teleporting to reach Queen Aurelia who resides in Africa.
