Chapter 78 - Chapter 78 - The challenger arrives

Everyone was silent as we went to the palace.

I'm terrified.

I must have been shaking as Lion suddenly embraced me and spoke words of comfort to me while the rest of the pack assured me that they will be by my side.

Alpha told me that since he's the heir, he can do a lot of things just to protect me. He assured me that nothing will happen to me and will definitely kill the creatures who will try to harm me.

The door opened and we all went inside. Lion placed an arm around my shoulder as we walked slowly towards the throne.

To my dismay, the throne room was filled with creatures that looked like warriors.

I must have done something terrible.

When we reached the throne, the Chieftain Monarch gave a signal to his men standing beside him and suddenly, a bubble enveloped each member of the pack.

Now I'm violently shaking.

Lion looked like he was shouting something as he tried to break the bubble.

The others tried their best to break the bubble by transforming into their ultimate form but something prevented them from completing the transformation as they were transformed back to their regular self.

A warrior approached me and told me to follow him.

The warrior looks like a yeti but has several horns on his head. He was wearing an armor of some sort that I was tempted to ask him about that.

Yes, he is a male as he is not wearing any clothes and his erection is clearly visible in which I tried not to look out of curiosity.

I remembered Lion telling me that not all creatures in this world wear clothes.

I did not manage to glance back as the warriors surrounded Lion and the others.

....

After a few minutes of talking, the yeti-like creature spoke.

Wait, he can talk????!

He told me that they had to encase the pack as they might react strongly when I had to go to another room to speak to someone.

Oh.

I'm not THE threat.

Yeti (I named him in my mind), smiled at me and told me not to worry about them as they will just stay inside the bubble until I'm done talking to a certain someone.

I began to relax as he talked to me all kinds of random stuff that I enjoyed listening.

He asked me if I had already visited the sea and I nodded and told him yes. He continued asking me what name of the sea that I visited and which area.

Uh I don't know?

Finally, we arrived in an open room that has some sort of a swimming pool in the middle of it.

Yeti and I went inside the room and saw a beautiful creature that has a human-like face but has a tail like a sea serpent. He wasn't looking at us so I took my time staring at him as he has an ethereal beauty that I've never seen before in this world.

His face is completely expressionless as he seemed to be lost in thought.

But his face.

If I wasn't madly in love with Lion, I would definitely fall for this creature.

He has a long wavy hair that has the color of the deep sea in which it reaches up to his hips. His eyes has the color of the sky on a clear day on earth. His skin is pale and he's wearing several jewelry like earrings, bracelets and a necklace that looks like some sort of a chain.

Then he saw me.

I suddenly have butterflies in my stomach.

Wait.

I mentally slapped myself hard as I tried to think about Lion when he approached me while slowly changing his lower appearance to something similar to a human.

Good thing he's wearing pants.

Yeti cleared his throat as he introduced me to Bahar.

....

He is trying to charm me.

Bahar kissed my hand and spoke in a seductive voice but somehow, I'm no longer attracted to him.

He somehow managed to magically wear a shirt that reminded me of a pirate on earth.

Ah so he's a magic user as well.

He made me hold on to his arm as we went back to the throne room.

The warriors are all sprawled everywhere on the floor as the pack had already gotten outside the bubble. The Chieftain Monarch looked amused at seeing the panting faces of the pack when he noticed us.

Lion widened his eyes when he first saw me then his eyes turned into rage as he saw Bahar trying to stop me from getting my hand away from his arm.

Why this moron.

I'm getting annoyed with Bahar as it is obvious that he's trying to provoke Lion.

Suddenly Lion rushed towards him with sparks on his hand. Bahar simply grinned as he raised his hand and a magical shield appeared in front of us. Then the moron carried me while flying away from Lion.

Why me!

I tried to squirm on his arms when Bahar suddenly spoke something and I can't move my body. Then he chuckled as he tried to avoid Lion that threw several lightning balls towards us.

Please don't hit me too.

I noticed that there are several glowing chains that are attached on the floor, holding the extremities of the rest of the pack, preventing them from interfering.

A fireball barely missed me as Lion is throwing fireballs towards us. He yelled an apology to me as he is trying to catch up to Bahar who kept on grinning at him. They exchange words that I don't understand but sounds unpleasant to hear.

Suddenly, I can move and I noticed we are way up high near the ceiling. Bahar stopped moving then he stretched out his arm towards Lion in which Lion's body moved towards us fast. Then Bahar held Lion's throat tightly that Lion begin to choke. Lion began to struggle as he tried to remove Bahar's hand.

I tried squirming and kicking Bahar when suddenly, he looked at Lion with a cold look and told him something that made Lion's eyes looked alarmed.

Bahar then looked at me with a smirk then suddenly released me from his grip.

I screamed as I fell towards the floor as I can see Lion looked at me with desperate look in his eyes as he tried to remove Bahar's hand on his neck.

Ah. So this is how I die.

Those were my thoughts as I closed my eyes.
