Drystan

'Look up child,' that voice talked again.

I somehow managed to look up. My eyes widened upon seeing that mesmerising creature.

'My name is Drystan.' He said, elegantly brushing off his hair behind his ears.

I was left in awe . It was a creature which had been extinct thousands of years ago. A fallon? In the dark night he was flying in the air. His flaming blue wings spread wide flapping. His long blue hair majestically dazzling over his waist and those ice cold jewelled blue eyes sparked a death fear in my heart.

I lowered my face and noticed others were not paying attention to the sudden appearance of fallon. ' Are you all kidding me?'

"They can't hear or see me .'

'Why ?' I talked through mindlink. I don't know how I was able to make a mental connection with him.

'Because of that Ruby pendant.' He pointed at my chest. ' That pendant you give me and I'll vow to serve you for the rest of my life.'

He came down, whispering near me . Him revolving around me was making me shiver in coldness. ' Is his supernatural ability of ice ?'

'Correct. Didn't expect Aisling's daughter to be this clever.' Drystan called my mother by her name. By any chance did he know my mother?

"Are you all snails? Be fast!" Loren lashed out angrily glaring at his warriors. He looked at me in disgust and hatred.

'I want to know why Loren hates me this much!' I instinctively murmured those words of curiosity in the presence of Drystan there.

A cold hand held my waist from behind, getting me free from those warriors. ' I don't have much time left.'

'What do you mean?'

'I'm dead . My powers work in the presence of this Ruby pendant. If you give me this I'll stay for a hundred more years,' he smirked.

Not like he was scared of vanishing from the world. Quite the opposite! But how can I give him my mother's only treasure?

'But again he seems to know my mother. And I need a powerful supporter to get free from imprisonment,' I glanced at Drystan. Narrowing my eyes at him .

'Okay but I've one condition.'

'What's that ?" Drystan asked, his eyes sparked in hope.

'I want you to become my personal knight and serve me .'

His face lost its smile. Yeah , I knew it . He was just bluffing and tricking me into his attempt to get a Ruby pendant. What is he doing? Drystan suddenly kneeled down in front of me .

'I vow to become your knight and serve you till my last breath.' An oath of allegiance was made and there was crazy thunder lightning in the sky. The warriors who were chaining me down got striked by lightning. Causing them to collapse, losing the body fluid and turning into skeletons.

I smiled, taking off my Ruby pendant and putting it on Drystan. " May you rise my knight."

"Who are you talking with?" Loren looked back, his bloodshot eyes witnessing the rebellions of mine.

His thick eyebrows frowned and claws spread open to kill me. " Did you summon the dead soul of this haunted castle?" He asked,taking steps close to me. I can for sure say he's mad to kill me.

'Don't worry I'll take care of him,' Drystan walked forward but I held his hand.

"I don't want to give him an easy death. Capture him and bring along with us to northern territory.'

'As your order.' He waved his hands around and a pair of blue orbs flashed on his both palms which he directed towards Loren.

At first Loren dodged the attack and shifted into his wolf form. He snarled at Drystan and leapt high with sharp claws spread open. " What makes you think a pup like you can tear me off ?" Drystan chuckled, stepping away, causing Loren to crash on the ground.

Loren's thick black fur got soaked on the moist soil. He struggled to get up but the wound on his hind legs enabled him to do so. He looked helpless but his golden eyes displayed no defeat.

"You should stay away from someone else's mate ," Loren roared in his wolf's voice.

"I don't buy that bluff." Drystan unleashed a strong force towards Loren, uprooting him from the ground and crushing him on the hard rocky ground. By now Loren shifted into his true form. He was shirtless covered in blood.

My heart felt the piercing blow of concern. I couldn't see Loren getting beaten up hard. " Drystan, that's enough. Chain him down."

"Yes, I understand."

Glistening strings of magical chains crawled on Loren's unconscious body. Tucking his ankles and wrists in magical shackles. After Drystan was done he turned his face at me . " We should cross the imperial city border before other pack members detect the danger."

I nodded and hurriedly looked around for my horse. Just that very moment I felt a sharp hook like thing pull me up from the ground by my collar. " Who dares to?''

And saw behind me stood a large fallon bird holding me in its beak. I struggle but in vain. I was uprooted from the ground and toasted on the back of a fallon.

"I'll bless you with a free ride. Feel important," Drystan chuckled, flapping his wings in the air.

I trembled, immediately wrapping my arms around the fallon's neck. My eyes caught the glance of Loren in Fallon's claws. ' Serves him good for torturing me all this time.'

"Hold on me tight Martina Steele." Drystan filled his lungs with air, lifting his body upwards and finally flying in air.

He was slowly taking on the speed and I could feel the cold breeze hitting my body. Unfortunately I was scared of heights still I wanted to take a look.

The night was fading away already making the scenery visible. I could see the royal palace of the Bliaviroth empire. Place where I've spent my childhood and adulthood.

'I will return back and get the throne back.' My eyes filled with tears. The Bliaviroth empire was founded by the Crescent Pack after defeating the vampire lord. My father , Alpha of Crescent Pack, established this empire only for werewolves. Other creatures were dragged out or killed by werewolves to keep the bloodline pure.

As their elder daughter I was supposed to inherit the title of emperor but my stupid ass fell for Noah's love trap. At first I thought my brother Victor could take the throne and the role of Alpha of Crescent Pack but my parents' tragic death ruined it all.

'That time Victor was too young to lead the pack and I was a naive girl who's smitten in love with the other pack's beta. Fool,' I cursed internally.

Don't even want to be reminded of that time. How I foolishly allowed Noah to become the emperor and how I submitted myself to him. My Crescent Pack became slaves under Noah's regime and stayed without Alpha.

"I'll not let this happen. I'll take the role of Alpha."
