– Kieran –
Chapter 112
Kieran’s black wolf was expeditiously running after a vampire, one he knew held power and rank. The vampire commanded
several others and followed his every directive.
Two Eswen warriors were chasing after Kieran. Jaxon was pursuing those who were after him.
Following a loud growl, Kieran leaped. He toppled the vampire to the ground before his large jaw clenched on the vampire’s
neck. The “Thing” was clawing him fearlessly, but Kieran did not loosen his hold.
Behind him, Kieran could hear Jaxon taking down his pursuers.
“I have your back, Jaxon!” Seth called next. Growls followed, and whimpers followed. After a loud howl, Kieran knew the
unknown werewolves were done for.
“Jaxon!” Kieran called for his Beta. His canines remained sunken onto the vampire.
Kieran saw how Jaxon had snapped the Eswen werewolf’s neck while in his human form. After meeting his eyes, Jaxon shifted
back to his wolf. He bit the lower part of the vampire’s b*dy, and with their cooperated strength, the creature’s neck broke free
from
his torso.
Following the death of that particular vampire, Kieran observed the panic in some other vampire’s eyes. Some froze in their
stance while others shrieked. It created a perfect distraction, and his men saw the opportunity.
“Kill them all!” Kieran snarled, and from then on, more cries of pain and throughout the shores of Taplean.

Blood stained the sands. Even the sea smelled of the dead following the first wave of King James’ men landing on their shores.
Most that died were Eswen warriors, but some of Kieran’s men were also severely wounded. Fortunately for Taplean, they had
the miracle healing potion.
Everything was well planned. Aside from Kieran’s platoon, fighting first, another group of Taplean warriors was in charge of
retrieval. Any wounded were mandated to retreat with. the help of the extraction team. For now, they had no fatality, but he did
not know how long they could keep it up. As long as Eswen would send ships, they could linger on the coast for months, battling.
King James was wise during that siege. He had the vampires dive underneath the seas to find the mines. They evaded most of
the eruption but still triggered one explosive to blast. Thus, their enemies were still quite a handful once they landed on their
shores.
Still, despite their adversaries’ overwhelming number, the first wave of Eswen warriors evidently failed.
“Some are getting away!” One of his warriors pointed out the sea.
Kieran, Jaxon, and Seth ran to the waters in their powerful wolf and took care of as many

as they could.
“They are retreating to the ship!” Seth called. He chased his breath while half of his wolf was submerged in salt water.
Kieran darted at the speedboats that were dashing across the waters. Even Eswen’s first ship appeared to be moving back.
“Alpha Kieran, why don’t we bring in our ship now?” Seth asked.
“Not now. While we can still fight on land, we will do that. Let them make an effort and take the bigger risk,” Kieran answered. He
shifted into his human form, relieved.
They had been fighting for hours. Kieran looked up at the sky and was sure it was nearly dawn. He said, “Let’s take this time to
rest. Let the second platoon take over in the morning so our group can fight another day.”
“Yes, Alpha,” Seth affirmed.
“My King, the first wave of Eswen warriors have retreated. Almost all of them were eradicated,” Kieran reported inside
Balthasar’s private tent.
When the king turned to him, Kieran was taken aback. For the first time, he saw the king with woeful eyes. He said, “It’s fine,
Kieran. I-”
Lowering his head, King Balthasar admitted, “Betrayal is the worst, Kieran, and the most painful ones are those that are made
from your trusted friend.”
“Are you going to rest?” The king sought. Kieran did not even get a chance to comment on the king’s condition.
Due to Beta Ford’s actions, everyone agreed they were safer with him not being involved. in the fight. In fact, King Balthasar had
also interrogated some of Beta Ford’s most favored warriors. So far, the truth serum revealed that no one worked with Ford.
It was what Ford had said; there were still a few of Helen’s men and Blaze’s rogues within. Taplean, and they were the ones who
aided him with the car purchases. Ford was the one who personally opened the borders west of the nation. Back then, Ford went
like a thief in the night, unnoticed by Prince Raegan and his men.
Clearing his mind from the thought of Ford, Kieran answered, “Yes, My King.”
“Then, I will lead the second platoon,” Balthasar answered.
Kieran frowned. He asked, “Did you get any rest, My King? I think it would be wise to let another platoon take over if you are not
in the right -”
–
“I need this,” the king answered weakly. “I need to get Ford out of my mind let out my anger on Helen. She took my friend from
me, and she will pay the price.”
Based on what Beta Ford had revealed, the second ship that would attack should carry the former queen, Helen. So Kieran
knew why the king was determined to run the second platoon. Still, he asked, “Are you sure, My King -”
“I have never been sure,” King Balthasar affirmed. “Go now, and take your rest. Let your king lead the next fight.”
Chapter 112
After leaving the tent, Kieran painfully watched as the king called for the second platoon. He understood his pain. If Jaxon were
to betray him, he would probably go feral in bitterness a way to hide the despair.

He glanced in the direction where Beta Ford was held, and he could not help but feel sorry for the friendship they had lost.
King Balthasar –
Hours into another invasion, King Balthasar led the second group of Taplean warriors at midday. Two warriors followed him at all
times, watching his back.
“Arrgghh!” Balthasar fought in his human form. The second cluster of Eswen warriors used silver weapons. Thus, the king felt it
was wiser to do the same.
He fought with silver blades while his b*dy was covered in armor. Some of his warriors shifted to chase after werewolves who
tried to flee, but many used their silver weapons
100.
The king was at the front-most of the shores when suddenly a commotion erupted by the boulders and trees behind the beach.
“Rogues behind us!” One of the king’s royal guards announced.
The king did not know how, but it would appear that the rogues had gone past patrols. They were now burning the tents that
were set up behind them.
‘Kieran! Rogues are coming your way!’ Balthasar mindlinked. ‘Awake your men!’
‘I heard, My King! I am up!’ Kieran responded.
The battle stretched for another hour. Thankfully, Kieran and his men were alert and still had the fuel to fight.
While the king was going head to head with a high-ranking warrior of Eswen, he noticed Kieran being cornered by four
werewolves! His instincts told him to offer his help to Kieran, and so he did.
He noticed three opponents running after him, but the king decided to free himself from. protection and shift into his wolf. His
speed was absolute, and the enemies that went after him struggled to keep up.
With a loud growl, the king announced his arrival. He bit one Eswen warrior in the leg, tossing the unknown warrior a few meters
away. Kieran merely nodded to the king before they charged at their enemies again.
Everything was chaotic at that point. Tens were burning from their side of the coast, and even Alpha Baxter’s men had joined in
the fight. They were supposed to be on reserve for the third wave of attack. However, they did not expect rogues to pass through
the beach. In fact, based on what Ford was informed, there should have been less than thirty rogues remaining in Taplean.
It was clear to the king how Helen and Blaze had hidden many enemies within Taplean.
“It’s the former queen Helen!” One royal guard announced.
Chapter 112
Balthasar’s head snapped to the trees. He was shocked to see Helen. It meant she had penetrated the border, either the coast
or never left Taplean in the first place.
The thought of Ford’s betrayal burned in his heart, and he blamed Helen for it. He assailed without thinking.
Many rogues tried to stop him, but the king’s brute strength quickly pushed their frames aside. A few managed to scratch him,
but he felt no pain.
In Balthasar’s view, Helen appeared afraid, second-guessing where she would run. She called for the rogues, but they were all
engaged in a fight.
The king flashed his canines, imagining Helen’s death.
“No! Don’t kill me!” Helen pleaded as she ran. She wound up falling to the ground, dragging her b*dy backward. “Help! Attack the
king!”
It surprised the king, but he did not care. He was going to kill this evil woman once and for all.
Seeing Helen within his reach, the king leaped, but he saw his former wife smirk just as he did.
His heart throbbed, and his eyes widened. It played in slow motion in his head how Helen. had taken a silver sword from behind
her.
‘No!’ He silently reacted.
“No! My King!” He heard a familiar voice, and a frame suddenly blocked his view.
The king’s b*dy rolled to the ground. When he opened his eyes, he saw blood. “No!!!!!”
