Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 38

In a very cold and dark dungeon, there is a man chained, wounded and weakened.

"Let me ask you this again. Oh, Great Oracle! Are you still not interested in being allies with me?" King Remus asked with an evil expression on his face. While the Great Oracle replied softly and unwaveringly.

"Still a no... I have no interest in being allies with someone as evil as you!"

King Remus was so angry about his decision.

"Lock him!" Then he walked away from the Great Oracle.

Somewhere in a strange land, the King Alpha Remus is accompanied by his Beta Roland and his cherry-haired resident witch.

"What is next in our itinerary? Which wolf pack will be visiting next?" King Remus asked his Beta.

Before Roland could answer King Remus, the convoy of black cars suddenly stopped and a group of rogue werewolves started to appear.

"Mira! Roland! You know what to do!" King Remus instructed his resident witch and his Beta.

The moment everyone got out of the car, Roland shifted immediately into his wolf form.

While the cherry-haired woman witch chanted a powerful spell to protect King Remus.

An invisible bubble is surrounding Mira and King Remus. There is an impressive number of rogue werewolves attacking the convoy of King Remus.

It made King Remus agitated that these rogue werewolves had the audacity to ambush him once again.

"They truly have the nerve to ambush me. Mira, dispose all of them!" King Remus agitatedly commanded his resident witch.

Mira started chanting a powerful spell. Then her eyes turned into complete black. She made a spell, a forbidden dark spell that causes death to the target.

Rogue werewolves are starting to die one by one as Mira targeted each rogue werewolves within her path. Those who are witnessing Mira's deadly performance, they immediately signaled their leader to escape while they have time. Every rogue werewolf that got hit by the forbidden dark spell howled in pain and misery.

One by one, each werewolf started to escape but King Remus could not allow this so he shifted into his wolf form.

A huge dark gray furred wolf leaped forward. In an attempt to chase the rogue werewolves who are attempting to escape but King Remus could not allow this.

Beta Roland and the other warriors who survived followed their Alpha King. Even Mira covered herself in a bubble and floated in pursuit with their Alpha King.

The rogue werewolves prepared a trap for the Alpha King hoping for him to fall for it and get killed along the way.

King Remus saw a reflection of transparent threads a few meters ahead of him. A gleam of light revealed a portion of this transparent thread.

The trap was ineffective against King Remus, even the arrows that hit him directly did not do any damage to King Remus. Even the poisonous arrows did not do any damage to him.

King Remus was able to catch up with the rogue werewolves who are desperately trying to escape from him.

It was a failed ambush on the Alpha King.

The leader of the rogue werewolves tries to protect his mate who is badly injured from the attack of King Remus.

Though, King Remus started to shift back into his human form. He did not mind that his mighty glory is exposed and completely bare to his enemies.

"Well, well, well... looks like I smell desperation! Ha, ha, ha!" King Remus lets out an evil laugh that resonated around the forest.

An angry growl was released by the leader of the group that tried to ambush King Remus.

"Who would bring his mate with him on such a dangerous mission? Only a fool! Would bring his mate with him on such a perilous mission, especially when it involves me." King Remus smirked with such a devious and sinister laugh.

Mira and Beta Roland arrived behind King Remus.

"Mira, take the female werewolf!" King Remus commanded his resident witch, Mira.

Immediately Mira chanted a spell. A spell that witches use to make their target float and covered within the leaves.

The mate of the leader of rogue werewolves that tried to ambush King Remus went from angry growl to whimpering wolf.

It is as if the werewolf is trying to beg King Remus for its mate.

"Now, shift to your human form or else I will instruct my witch to finish off your mate." King Remus threatened the remaining rogue werewolf.

There were plenty of lifeless rogue werewolves around. The remaining leader of the group knows very much how serious the threat of King Remus. He does not want to risk his own mate at the hands of the most vicious werewolf in the land. "Now, you have to obey every word I say!" King Remus smirked with such sinister paint all over his face.

Despite Caleb surviving such a failed ambush, he realizes how truly scheming and cunning the King of all Alpha werewolves is. Especially for King Remus to come up with such a scheme against King Lucio.

"You will be my eyes and ears around Lucio! And you will tell me the location of that fool with explosive ability. You will inform me about their movements and plans so I can return the favor. I will show Lucio how to execute a true ambush. Ha, ha, ha!" A villainous laugh was released by King Remus which is resonating around the forest.

"Caleb! Good thing you are back! How did the ambush go? Where are the other warriors, it looks like you are alone?" King Lucio curiously asked one of his Generals.

I instructed my mate to lead the others on the other way while I tried to have a direct clash with King Remus himself but unfortunately, only I survived and was able to escape." Confidently lied by Caleb who is carefully making it unsuspicious. "I am glad that you survived Caleb. It would have been unfortunate to lose one of my Generals against King Remus." King Lucio tells Caleb.

"I am just worried though for my mate since she has not yet returned. At least I am not sensing any horrible thing that may have happened to her. I am still worried though." Pretentiously acted by Caleb.

In an attempt to deceive King Lucio.

"Do not worry, my friend. I have good news for you. We have a new secret weapon against King Remus!" Declared by King Remus.

Caleb realized that there is someone who is sitting in front of King Lucio.

When Caleb arrived, he just immediately went straight ahead to King Lucio without realizing that they had a guest who was sitting in front of King Lucio.

"I want to introduce you to our new secret ally..." King Lucio announced to Caleb who just arrived.

A big shock was all over in Caleb's face.

"W-What? Why? How can we trust her?" Replied by Caleb.

King Lucio laughed because he understood exactly the doubt of Caleb.

"You mean, how to trust someone like... Ophelia? Ha, ha, ha!" Declared by King Lucio.

"Yes, how can we assure she will truly help us? Especially, she is the mate off the most vicious and cunning werewolf in this world." A clear tone of worry from Caleb. Ophelia stood and explained herself.

"I am Remus' mate but I have better plans for myself and my son which will benefit all of you as well."

"But... King Lucio why should we not just kill her now and weaken that awful pretentious Alpha King!" Suggested by Caleb towards King Lucio.

"And what... let the notorious Alpha Connor succeed in his throne? Another obstacle to your future. You will not benefit at all in killing me. But having me as an ally will bring you closer to victory in this war against my mate, Remus." "And how is that? Do not tell me King Lucio, you believe in her so much? Tell me how to trust someone like her?" Continuously pointed out by Caleb.

"You see, I can help you take his precious allies out and start with his favorite son Connor. I can help you in killing him especially I loathe him that much. My expertise and knowledge of poison will help you create more dangerous weapons and I am a better ally than you think. Disposing me will be a missed opportunity to gain more in this war of yours against Remus." Further explained by Ophelia.

"Ophelia is right Caleb! It will be a missed opportunity if we dispose of her now. Having her as an ally will be more beneficial for us in this war which outweighs the advantages of disposing her. Her proposals are indeed magnificent. Now, I feel more confident in this war having Ophelia on our side." Elaborated further by King Lucio towards Caleb.

"Thank you, Lucio! For seeing my perspective and potential future for both of us."

Ophelia expressed her gratitude towards King Lucio for accepting her proposal and striking a deal with her.

A deal that will shape the future of the werewolf kingdom.

Caleb ponders on this unexpected allegiance between two important figures in the Werewolf Kingdom.
