I look at her, annoyed and confused. How is it happening that she has no scent? And worse than this, all of the ones that were with her were the same, scentless.  "Of course I come. I have missed you so much!" I said sarcastically and took a step in her direction. The little girl behind me started crying when Cora shouted at me. "I would have killed you long ago if it wasn't for that stupid brother of mine. But now, what can I do? I need to take you back to your Mate!" "Mate?! He fucking rejected me five years ago! I am not his Mate or his surrogate bitch! Let this get in that thick skull of yours, Cora!" She clenched her fists, looking me in the eyes.

Oren's povI ran as fast as I could to reach the portal. Amaya told me to bring everyone to the Water Kingdom, as it was the closest to the exit. In case she was caught, I needed to do this. But I could just not let her fight alone. The women and girls were exhausted, but I did not let them rest. We were now just a few minutes away from the Water Kingdom borders. They stopped, breathing heavily and fell to the ground. "I'm sorry, Oren, but we cannot continue like this."

I need to do something quickly, or I will die suffocated. I shift back and create an ice cage sound Cora. The cage quickly became a cube, and she was stuck inside. Breathing easier, I fall to the ground. "Fuck! This was the third time already. She won't stop trying to kill me." "What are you going to do with her?" Leon asks. "Hmm… for now, leave her there! We need to find my mother!" 

Three months later"Mom! Hurry up! We will be late!" I yelled at my mother, who was still in the shower.Today we will finally celebrate the freedom of those who were held captive by the Marino family. I could not do it earlier as I wanted for them and my mother to recover enough so they can enjoy this day.Besides, I was pretty busy. Making plans to expand our territory and building more houses is not an easy thing. I had to do this for all of those who want to come here. Anna and Leon decided to get married a month and a half ago. She is pregnant in four weeks. So imagine the excitement.
