---- Zarek nced at him sideways. Definitely powerful, too powerful, and he knew well the strength Gods could have. Fortunately, Lyra had managed to tame this dangerous beast. "It''s true. I''m sorry I offended you," Drir was astonished to see his father-inw apologize for the first time. Drakkar snorted and nodded. "lm heading to your stronghold with Lyra. Don''t forget your promise, Drir," the wild wolf turned on his heel to leave just as he''d arrived. The air went stagnant again, with a breeze of awkwardness.
"Drir," Zarek turned backlit, standing between the open ps of the exit. "Believe it or not, I know very well how to rule and build a realm. I wasn''t a prince in name only." Drir looked at his father-inw, a little box of surprises. Always unpredictable. "lll help you raise your empire... for my cub''s safety." Something tightened in the Lord''s chest. A sense of support he still wasn''t used to. ---- "Ill listen to your counsel, then," Zarek liked his answer. If Victoria were here, she might even be proud they weren''t trying to w each other''s eyes out.
"Also, Laziel delivered that old enemy of yours to me. What do I do with him?" he finally asked. "Turn him into an undead... in the most atrocious, painful way you can," he answered through clenched teeth, hatred filtering through every syble. "You don''t even need to say it... I''ve got several ''experiments'' just for him," Zarek''s right corner of the mouth arched with malice. For the first time, the two were in sync, and it was only the beginning of the time they''d have to spend together... whether they liked it or not.
"Save me a front-row seat," Drir muttered with the same malice, watching the ancient vampire''s back. Who would''ve thought he''d someday earn such distinguished titles? ?Bed Master? of an innocent demigod and ?First Son-in-Law? to a millennia-old vampire who shit on the Gods every day. ---- His picturesque life, as the new King of Craznd, just kept getting better. sob While everyone went off doing their own thing, ignoring their own realms and business, the lycan twins were living out their own adventure. One that would end with Alpha Hakon, the owner of the swamp... pissed as hell.<style>
