Azimir growled lightly as soon as he heard Vasili's call of danger. It was nothing like he had heard before. There was desperation, fear, and reluctance in his call, and Azimir's eyes flashed with an unknown emotion.

'Why is Vasili calling me? Is he in danger?' He wondered, staring in the direction he had heard his Beta's howl.

'Who could threaten him? He is one of the strongest Beta alive. Did Werther and his pack attack someone from my pack?' As soon as the thought entered his mind, Azimir lost all his cool. His grey turned dark in fury and he snarled in return. The deafening sound was so intense that it shook the ground and at the same moment, instilled fear among the ones who heard it.

Barely a few moments had passed when two royal guards from the kingdom came running towards him.

"Your Highness," The two men bowed in front of their king who right now was in his wolf form. Even though they were terrified of him, they stood still and kept their eyes fixed on the gigantic and frightening wolf. They trusted his king to keep himself calm and not attack them on this dreadful night.

Azimir almost glared at the two humans in front of him before he realized what he was doing and he curbed his anger immediately. They were not the ones at fault and he calmed himself down before he tore them into pieces in a fit of his anger. Although it was difficult for him to manage his bloodlust, he managed it somehow.

Among all the human guards he had in his kingdom, the two men before him were the only ones who could stand in front of him whenever he was in his wolf form. Even though he could sense their fear for him, he acknowledged their courage and appreciated their bravery. To him, the two guards were among the best in his army.

Since the night was still young and Azimir couldn't return to his human form before the first rays of the sun fell on the land of Ideni, he could only stay in his wolf form while he conveyed his orders to them. Azimir growled lowly at them and the two guards immediately understood that their King was giving them his orders.

Azimir stared in the direction of the jungle before he nodded lightly and the two men understood his message right away. Their king was commanding them to safeguard the kingdom on this frightful night in his absence and they bowed at him, accepting his orders without any objections.

"We will protect the kingdom, Your Highness. We will not allow any danger to fall on the kingdom of Ideni or the people in your absence."

Satisfied by their response, Azimir nodded at them again, and the two guards ran back to the kingdom and closed the entrance to the kingdom immediately after. Azimir waited until the door was completely closed before he hurried in the direction he had heard Vasili's cry.

'I hope you or none of our pack members are in danger, Vasili.' Azimir wished in his mind. 'I should not have allowed Werther and the other rogue wolves to escape.'

Azimir bared his teeth as fury consumed him completely. If not for his principles of never attacking anyone first, he was certain that the all rogue wolves that had challenged him today would be lying dead before him.

'Please be safe, Vasili. Moon Goddess, please bless your children and keep them safe.' He prayed in his mind as he continued to run towards Vasili.

On his way, he howled to find the exact location where his pack members were. But all he got was silence in return. Neither did he receive any response from Vasili, nor did any other pack members respond to them, adding more to his horrifying thoughts.

A myriad of emotions passed through his mind and one among them was terror. He was now terrified, and he increased his pace as he rushed towards where he assumed Vasili to be.

Azimir halted suddenly when he reached the stream that passed by the jungle and he froze when he sensed the smell of blood in the air. It was too intense for him to ignore. But what astonished him was that the blood did not belong to any wolf. It smelt of human, and Azimir immediately understood what might have happened.

His eyes moved to the sky and he stared at the blood red moon. The night had barely begun and blood had already started to spill. How many more lives would be lost by the end of the night? He wondered and followed the scent of blood.

Azimir stopped again when he sensed another scent mingling in the air and he discerned that more than one human had been hurt.

'This is not good.' He thought to himself. 'Why did the humans leave the kingdom when I had warned them not to? Do they not know the consequences of doing so?' He gnashed his teeth, reprimanding the foolish humans while he continued to move further.

As he ventured further into the jungle, he smelt more blood and this time, some of the scents belonged to the wolves of his pack. Azimir's heart thumped loudly in fear and he darted towards the direction from where he could smell the blood. It became stronger as he neared the location and he growled loudly only to hear Vasili reciprocating his growl.

Even the other pack members responded this time and Azimir let out a sigh. At least some of the wolves were together. All he had to find out was that if everyone was fine even though he knew that some among them would be hurt for sure.

Azimir stepped out of the bushes and what he saw surprised him. While on one side, his pack members seemed to be ready to attack, on the other side, a group of warriors was defending themselves from the wild and unruly animals.

But that was not what caught his attention. It was the only girl in the group of warriors who caught his attention and the moment his grey eyes fell on her, his heart skipped a beat.. Azimir had taken an instant attraction to her even though he had no idea who she was.
