He was a warrior, fighting every battle only to win but it was the only battle he fought every day only to lose every time
Elinor 's POV
After everyone was seated ready to watch the next fighter, I looked into the ring and saw a big guy coming up and standing there.
"Is that the leader of the warriors?" I asked
"Yes, it's Captain Brax," Grace answered and I nodded to her to look back at the ring. I found Kayden standing next to him, talking and smiling.
"They must be close" I said when I noticed it
"They are like that. It's a student-teacher relationship. Captain Braxton is Cayden's teacher," Logan explained to me
"I've always run away from his training," Daniel told me to start laughing
" Why ?" I asked him
"His training is tough and also I'm a peaceful werewolf who doesn't like fighting very much."
“I think thunders and storms are really peaceful,” I told him to smile at me
"It's self-defense." He tried to defend himself and I nodded as if I was going to believe you
"Why are you putting on that look like you're saying I don't believe you?"
"I don't believe you either."
"It's okay, I can understand, E... I... Enerla."
“ Elinor ,” Logan and Grace yelled to each other to make me laugh at him
“Right, I said I would call you my fellow queen queen.”
“The match will start soon, so get the participants ready,” the presenter shouted, hearing strong encouragement
Kayden and Captain Brax started to heat up and Kayden removed his shirt again to earn the screams of several women as before.
Suddenly Kaiden looked at me and stopped moving
He started walking towards us and everyone was silent as they looked at him with anticipation and questioning. I tried to see if he was coming to talk to Logan, but his eyes were directed at me completely with a side smile on his lips.
"Why is he coming here?" I asked
“We also wonder about that,” Logan said
All eyes were on Kaiden heading towards us and before I even understood what was going on he grabbed my arm and made me stand before he pressed his lips to mine, sparks exploded all over my body as Kaiden's lips moved over mine with full force.
I closed my eyes without noticing and found myself exchanging his swift and powerful kiss.
Suddenly I heard everyone clapping and cheering loudly.
My body feels hot as Kayden's lips devour mine a little longer before pulling away from me and letting me breathe hard.
"This was... our first public kiss " I sent my telepathy to look at him in shock as he put on a devilish smile because he liked my shocked face now
"For good luck" he said to me as he put me back in my place again and I feel my cheek will explode from so much shame after I sat in my place he kissed my forehead to look at him
“I think you will win,” I told him as a kind of encouragement to see a glimmer of happiness in his eyes
“Of course, I will,” he said, standing up before he continued
"At the end of the day, I have a bet to win and a prize to win," he told me, putting a side smile on his face, before heading back to the ring. This guy is really!!
The audience is still enthusiastic and still screaming hard I looked behind me and found some women looking at me with a strange look as if it was a look of hate or something else?
"They're so envious of you," Grace said to me when she noticed I looked at them
" Why ?" I told her to smile
"Because that sexy is yours," said Grace, turning to Kayden, and Logan looking at her angrily.
"Final match, Alpha Kayden vs Captain Brax," the presenter shouted as everyone started clapping, they both stopped in the middle of the ring waiting for the whistle.
"I'm excited to see if Kaiden can beat The Leader this year," Logan said with a smile
"He'll beat him, this year his mate is here," said Grace, looking back at the ring when she heard the whistle
In a quick moment, they both rushed towards each other for a few minutes, the vision was a little blurry due to their speed. All I could see were punches and kicks going to both ends.
I focused more to see the captain's punch heading towards Kaiden quickly and hard for Kaiden to get past it at the last moment
Kayden raised his leg to kick the captain, but he stopped him when he punched his knee with his hand to make Kayden back back hard.
When the leader prevented this, Kayden raised his leg to kick the leader's right side before attacking him with strong and fast punches above his chest. Kaiden's punches were so strong that her voice echoes to our ears
And just when Kaiden was going to punch him again, the captain moved below him to lift Kayden above his back and throw him onto the floor of the ring.
Kaiden stood facing each other, standing opposite each other, breathing heavily and looking at each other, the one who attacked next would win.
Everyone looks on in anticipation of what will happen next, after long seconds of studying each other, Kaiden's face and the captain lit up with a confident smile as they rushed towards each other as they had at first
Both of them sent a punch to the other and whoever punched the other first would be the winner and before any punch came down on the other, Kayden quickly lowered his body to put his hand on the ground based on it before raising his leg and hitting the captain's side in a very strong kick that made the captain fall outside the ring to the ground
After this, everyone was silent, not a single voice, a deadly calm
Seconds later, Kayden stood in the middle of the ring to let everyone know he was the winner. Everyone in the stands stood up and started clapping even more powerfully for the night with their strong cheer.
"He won" Daniel and I jumped excitedly and screamed and
Grace and Logan clapped and smiled brightly.
Kaiden walked towards the captain who had now stood up to hug each other in a strong hug and the captain lightly hit Kaiden's back with pride before moving away from him and taking his arm and lifting it up.
“Alpha Kayden.” The leader shouted loudly so that everyone shouted more and more chanting behind him “Alpha Kayden” “Alpha Kayden” Most of the crowd walked towards Kayden before I saw Logan go to him too, the captain, Logan and Henry, who was watching the matter, carried him over their shoulder to shout out to everyone
"Alpha"
"Alpha"
"Alpha"
I started to clap too and smiled proudly, I knew now that the Hidden Kingdom loved their King without quarrel,
Their kingdom is with the hands of a ruler worthy of praise and all the love and respect in the world. My heart felt so happy when I saw him smiling happily to everyone.
Kayden it's everything and it was enough, it's my home.
His eyes met mine at this moment to make them drop him over their shoulder to come towards us
"Kind did it," Daniel said, and Kayden did not correct him, but rather they hugged each other. I felt warm seeing this brotherly embrace before he walked away
"Congratulations" I said to him to come up to me and carry me to make me spin in the air before he got me on my feet again I saw the captain heading towards us
“I am really proud of you, and finally the pupil has surpassed his master,” the leader said to him
"Thank you, Commander," Kayden replied
“Luna, it was an honor to meet you and I am at your service to the end,” he said to me, lowering his head respectfully
“Thank you, sir, and it was also a pleasure to meet you.” I replied, smiling at me before he left
All they needed was their love, it was not only love, it was something sacred
Elinor 's POV
I raised my head to the sky to watch the stars that had already appeared in the dark of the night I lowered my eyes again to watch everyone sitting in groups around the burning fire Now I know what they do with that wood when they bring it They are making sessions around the fire
I saw Victoria and her children playing and dancing to music she was playing and I don't know where it came from but here everything is magical even the music I smiled at their sight and I was going to them but a hand around my waist prevented me
"Kayden, can you leave me alone for a bit?" I told him that since he finished the match he is sitting next to me and his hand around my waist
" to where ??" he asked me
“I want to go to the kids,” I said as I gestured for them to nod before leaving me
I started walking towards them and before I reached them someone stopped in front of me suddenly to stop walking and look at him questioningly, he was a very beautiful and charming person
"Hello miss, can I say something to you?" He said to me in a voice that only makes you want to hear it I don't know what?
“Go ahead,” I replied
"You're really pretty, will you let me take you to dance with me?" He said as he extended his hand to me and before I answered him I felt someone pulling me by my waist and a hand removing my hair from above my neck and lips kissing and my name was Kayden I looked at him after he moved away from my neck to look at the person standing in front of us
"Can't you see her mark??? The king's mark is here and you still want to take the risk?" Kaiden spoke in annoyance
"Your Majesty, I didn't pay attention to her name. I apologize, but her beauty was charming and unprecedented to me," he told him, to get a strong roar from Kayden, who almost attacked him, but I stopped him.
“I’m really sorry, Your Majesty, sorry Luna.” That person apologized and ran quickly
"What was that?" I asked Caden
"He's a demon, didn't Mr. Mark tell you about him?"
"He told me but I forgot, it's okay nothing happened."
“Yes, of course, only that my companion has been flirted with by a demon,” he said, annoyed
"Do you really want us to start this??? So Rafiq who was bare-chested in front of a huge number of women who were looking at him as prey???" I said angrily when I remembered the women's looks back when he was fighting
"Don't worry baby, I'm yours and no one else, you can look whenever you want and you can touch too and do anything," he said, putting a side smile on his chest when I felt ashamed before I let him go and run again to the children's place
I went to them and found them jumping and dancing next to the fire, they are very close to the fire
"Victoria, the kids are very close to the fire," I told her worriedly as I stood next to her
"Luna, it's the flames of Alpha Kaiden that won't harm any of us here," she replied reassuringly.
Luna one of the kids looked at me before everyone else looked and I smiled at them
"Hello my dears" I told them before they approached me to take them in a group hug
"Luna let's dance together" I nodded, let's start dancing
I don't even know how but I just followed the kids who seemed to have fun
Suddenly I heard a voice start to sing I turned to see a person who was a dwarf singing with words and a wonderful voice
The rest of the dwarves joined him in singing as they came towards us. The music, along with this singing, brought joy to the hearts.
I saw everyone standing up and clapping and also dancing in front of us
I was just smiling at this sight Everyone was dancing happily Suddenly one of the dwarves stood in front of me and gave me a hand to hold to pull me and I stand next to them as they continue to sing Is this a kind of welcome? they are perfect
I started clapping and smiling brightly at them and everyone looked at us dancing and laughing It lasted for a few minutes and it was the end of their singing and as soon as they finished I raised my hand to the sky as a sign of the end of the dance But a strong light came from my hand above us to explode and light the face of everyone who stood looking at it with shock and astonishment like me What is this?
I lowered my hand to look at her, how did that come out of me?? I looked at everyone, are they afraid of me?? Did I scare them?? As soon as I looked at them, everyone smiled at me before they fell to their knees, they all kneeled down to me. What's wrong with me?
“ Our lost queen ,” they all shouted in one voice, so strong that I had goosebumps
"Everyone recognizes you as a queen," Kayden's voice beside me said while holding my hand
“Please get up,” I told them, so everyone would get up and look at me with happiness and hope?!
"I was thinking of making an announcement about you, but it seems that they have found out who you are and they don't need an announcement, and now everyone believes the legend since you have the power of light," Kayden said.
"Are you saying I have strength?"
"Yes, I must have stimulated your strength when I marked you, and you must train it so that we can discover it more. Everyone will help you with that. Don't worry."
"But... this means that we will face an enemy and we must eliminate him and you. But you still don't tell me who our enemy is?!" I told him to get away from me a little and turn into his big wolf not caring that he tore his clothes
<< Ride on me we're going somewhere >> Send Kaiden to me
<< I can transform >>
<< Are you saying you want to take off your clothes here? Did you go crazy? >> he said angrily and his wolf roared louder as he got closer to me
<< No.. well but what about your clothes? >> I asked him trying to climb on top of him and he bent over for me to go up easily
"Luna, go ahead," Henry offered, handing me black pants
<< Although I'd rather be naked in front of you especially, but I know you won't be comfortable >> Send Kayden to hold my pants
“Thank you.” I thank Henry before Cayden's wolf sprints into the woods as he runs, I hold onto him tightly until I see him stop after a long run.
I fell to the ground to get down before I could turn around or do anything Kayden suddenly turned to open my eyes in shock at the sight of him being naked and I screamed
"Kayden..." I yelled at him as I closed my eyes and hid my face
I heard a laugh from Kayden before I felt him approaching me
"I think you're the one who wants me to be naked in front of you since you didn't give me the pants" he whispered in my ear to discover I had hidden my face in his pants I quickly removed them and gave them to him with my eyes still closed
Just seconds, I felt his hand grab my hand and pull me behind him I opened my eyes to find him wearing his pants but without a shirt
" to where ?" I asked him
“To the River of Hope,” he said to me, and after a few steps we stood in front of a large river, which I previously said was a sea because it is really huge
"It's beautiful here," I told him as I looked at the moon's reflection on the water
"Do you want to see the little house?" Kaiden asked me to turn around and see where he was pointing and there was a medium sized house on the edge of the river that was beautiful
"Is that your house?"
"Actually, it's a gift for you. I built it for you years ago, as if I was hoping for a miracle to happen to my side, and it really happened. " Sitting with two rooms I think it's the bedrooms
"It's cool, Kayden," I told him with a smile
“I’m glad you like it. We can come here whenever you want.” He told me to Omi
"Shall we sit here or..."
"Let's sit by the river." I interrupted him to smile at me and hold my hand. Let's sit on the edge of the river by the house. Caden sat down next to him.
"Then? Are you going to tell me who our enemies are? I think you already know the name 'Shadows'" I told him to let out a sigh
“Shadows, they are creatures that look like a person but are completely black like a shadow walking in the shape of a person,” Kayden said as he explained to me.
"These creatures can turn anyone into them. If they fall into their nets, they will turn him into a shadow like her. When you look at a shadow in his eyes, he paralyzes you. You can't move and you can't even speak. If he wants to transform you, he makes his shadow devour you, and so you lose your soul and your body remains transformed into a shadow. But if He didn't want to transform you, he'd just make his shadow surround you and make you die in a few seconds and your heart would stop beating." He told me to shiver.
Wars were against them?
"Yes, we were fighting with them, and they were able to kill many of us and turn others to their side. If you have the ability to not look at him in the eyes, this will make you control the situation and kill him, but most cannot resist that and in a second they find themselves looking at them in their eyes and only then dead bodies or transformers." for shadows"
" what about your father ?"
"At that time I lost my resistance and looked one of them in the eyes, and so he sent his shadow towards me, and before he could reach me, my father intervened to surround him and he fell dead."
" Then ?"
"Then my strength exploded, almost like what happened yesterday, I exploded with more force, I don't know, but many of them died and fell there and others retreated and ran away, and so the war ended, but I hurt some people from my side too."
"But where are they?"
"We don't know where they are exactly, but we think it's in the arid lands because no one has ever been there" he answered me
"So they are really people, right?"
"Yes, don't you remember yesterday?"
"I remember, he's someone who doesn't show any of his expressions and a dark aura surrounds him, only his eyes that show." He nodded at me.
“So when someone transforms, that is, when a shadow transforms someone, that means that person doesn’t die.” I asked him
He dies and loses his identity, if he turns to the shadow of his soul, it does not remain and he does not have any control over his body or even knows who he is, that is, he becomes a follower of the shadows, so he is considered to be dying, and if they see that there is someone who resisted that, that is, he did not turn and did not lose his soul, they rise Kill him immediately," he told me
"But then there are original shadows, right?? She started this thing."
“Yes, they have a king. The King of Shadows has never been to war and we know him only through books and history.” He told me and I nodded at him. A
cool breeze made me shiver a little.
"It's too hot for me here if you want," Kayden said, pointing to his chest, and I smiled at him before hugging him and resting my head on his chest. He was right, he's warm.
"Then, a bright future awaits, Kaiden," I told him
" yes "
“But together we will protect everyone close to us and everyone in our kingdom.” I said looking at him
“Of course,” he said, looking at me proudly
"They took a lot of you and they won't take anymore" I told him I don't know where I got this confidence but it's inside of me
“Yes.” He answered me, and before he spoke, his look changed, indicating that he was telepathic with someone
"What's up?" I asked him after I saw his look back at me
"We should go. Grace, Mr. Mark has caught something in the maze."
