The Beast Within

Chapter 39

NINA

Nina was again greeted by the excited squeal the twin's brother. Nina giggled when Yuri hugged her, the other sister's then also gave her a hug. 

And not too long after the two young Princess came running to Nina greeting her with a hug.

"Nina!" Nina's face beamed when her friend Selena greeted her and hugged her.

"Oh i missed you so much, how are you?" Selena asked pulling away to give Nina a space.

"I'am just fine. How about you? Where's  Lily?" She asked, Selena just shook her head.

"With her father's, those two couldn't get enough of their daughter. Anyways come, i'll lead you the king." Selena then glanced at Adonis and gave a curt nod. Bryan was still in the car taking his time to relax before facing his family again.

Adonis wrapped his arm around Nina as they walked together.

"Where's Vallerie?" Adonis asked Selena as they walked.

"She's on a trip to visit few packs. She's also trying to see if she could fix the Rouge problem it the eastern territory." Selena explained until they stopped infront of a large oak door, Selena knocked a few times before opening the door,  Nina was amaze to see the whole place. It was a magnificent throne room. Large windows almost filled the place. And on the far wall a giant painting of tree with thousands of little writtings could be seen and on the other end sat a Golden Throne with a carve image of two wolves sitting down, and on sat the King, with the princess on his lap. 

"My king." Adonis said bowing a little. Nina did the same. Selena walked closer to his mate and pick up her daughter.

"Oh please brother drop the Formalities." Chris walked to his brother and hugged him.

"So good to see you little brother. And you too Nina." Nina gave a short nod to the king who beamed. He seems to be happy not like the last time she saw him.

"Where's Bryan? I thought he was with you?" As if on que the large oak door opened up and Bryan came in. He looked stiff and uncomfortable. The king stared at his younger brother his eyes sparkled and then he opened his arm and hugged him.  Nina was in awe with what the brother's have. Their strong connection and love for each other is what kept the household strond and unyielding even as time goes by.

"We have missed you. Come the others are waiting." The king turned around to lead them to the grand ballroom but not before carrying his youngest.

"Well he looked very happy." She whispered to Selena who couldn't help but giggle at her.

"He couldn't stop grinning since Lily said her first word. That was three weeks ago." Now Nina had noticed it, the fear in Selena have been gone and somewhat had been replaced by a happy aura.

"I see. Is that so? That's good to know." Selena turned her head and stared at Nina.

"How about you? Aren't you planning to have pups? I'm sure the twin couldn't wait." Nina gave off a nervous laugh

"I'm still not quite ready for that kind of thing." Selena's mouth formed in an "o" shape when she understand what Nina meant. They all stopped infront of another large door and when the king opened it, everyone was there.

"Adonis, Bryan." Miguel said standing up from his chair and walking closer to his brothers, he hugged them and bump their forehead. Miguel then looked at Nina and gave her a warm smile in which she returned, after that everyone welcomed Bryan back and introduces themselves to Nina, but as soon as the introduction was done Selena escorted Nina out of the room saying that the family will be having a meeting. On their way out Nina came across Misandrist, she was talking to a woman who's increadibly tall, and that shouts power and sexual desire, the woman was also very pale, and she smells different.

"That's Queen Lena Lancaster with her wife Regent Catherine." Nina then noticed another woman with blonde hair that stood next to the Queen. And next to her was a very unusual girl. With white hair and electric blue eyes.

"And that is their mate. Princess Skyler Graylock of the western kingdom." Selena explained as they turned another corner.

"The Queen and the Regent smells odd" She said looking at Selena

"Oh they are, because they are vampires. Queen Lena Lancaster is one of the last pure blood vampire, and she is also a half witch." Nina's eyes widen making Selena giggle.

"I thought they we're only myths." She said.

"I have the same reaction. But Queen Lena wants to spend the entirety of their existance in peace. That is until she found out who's her mate. The sweet Skyler. The girl is very sweet and kind, sometimes i believe the world doesn't deserve her." The two of them continued to talk until they reached the garden and there is where they decided to talk for a bit longer.

"So they are basically of three kinds, i mean a half witch and vampire and a werewolf. But how would they be able to conceive a child?" Nina asked while she put some cream on her coffee.

"I don't have any idea since they are different from the Vallerian pack. We all know that the Vallerian females are gifted by the Goddess." Nina nodded taking a bite from the piece of pie that was brought to them.

"What was this meeting all about then?" Selena looked at Nina, she bit her lower lip.

"Probably about the execution of the 15 packs that are going againts the kingdoms rule and the law of the Goddess." Nina's eyebrow furrowed.

"It's something that the Kings do when he sees that the other packs are not answering to his calls or following his rule it is also to avoid future challengers that are not royal bloods." Nina's heart thud, "does the kings have something to do with the massacre of my old my pack members? Or were they really been attacked by rouges or neighboring packs?" Nina thought.

"But that is not the only problem. Several hell gates have been found scattered in our territory and even in the North and the west." Selena said and then she took a sip of her tea.

"Anyways forget about that. How are you and Bryan?" Nina smiled.

"Well we are fine. I've get to see some changes with Bryan. But the brother's still have some few disagreements, but they get along just fine. As long as they do not question one another's action."

"Well that is good to hear. But i need to ask if the beast made an appearance." Nina looked confuse, Selena shooks her head.

"You know that the twin are cursed right? They often lost control of their lycan form, but for some reason they manage to put at ease since you came along, but Nina i could feel that their beast are getting stronger." Nina gulped, fear krept into her.

"What would happen when they lost control over their beast." Selena looked straight at Nina's eyes.

"There will be Carnage Nina. Lots of innocent people would die again. The last time that happens. A whole village with 100 citizen was wiped out by the twins. The kings were forced to cage them until they calmed down and returned to their senses." Selena hold Nina's hand and squeez it giving her a small smile.

"There are still a lot of tamings you gotta do."
