"Priestess! What is happening!" It was Queen Margery. She, along with her husband, stopped walking and stared at Ulva who didn’t hesitate to stare back at them.
"It was me," Mildred immediately said. "Mr. York wanted to... " Tears immediately fell from Mildred’s eyes as she kneeled in front of the King and Queen. "He wanted to touch me and Priestess Ulva saved me."
"Is that true?" the King frowned. He glared at Ulva as if warning her to say the right words.
"Yes, my lord," Ulva said. However, when she looked at Justin, her face darkened. Before she could say another word, Justin said.
"Lies. I came here because you asked me to Ulva! How could you say that in front of the Lycan King?"
"Priestess, what is going on here?" the King asked. "We have guests..." he hissed.
"Yes, my lord. I will fix this in private."
"What do you mean?" One of the men who followed the King asked. Alpha Justin is the Alpha of one of the largest packs in the US. Obviously, he is a very important character for the Werewolves. Watching him being tossed around like a toy was obviously an insult to the other weaker werewolves.
The tension between the Shifters and the Lycans already existed since the Lycans always thought too highly of themselves. Seeing one of the Lycan’s witch bully one of the strongest werewolves definitely riled up the emotions of the shifters.
"Explain what you just did to Alpha York."
"Priestess Ulva, you might not know this since you have been staying in this bubble for years for Alpha Justin is one of the strongest and most reliable Alphas who had been fighting against the rogues. How could you treat a hero like this?"
"Alpha Justin helped a lot of women and children when the rogues attack our pack. Suffice to say, we owe him our lives! We will always stand by his side and wouldn’t just watch as you bully him! Explain yourself!"
"Gentlemen..." Ulva’s face was still calm yet she couldn’t stop the torrent of emotion inside her. She side-eyed Mildred as she thought of Ava.
That woman...
Why would Ava dare to do something like this?
Does this mean, she’s not scared to face Ulva’s wrath?
What about Ava’s brother?
Was she wrong about Ava’s attachment to her family?
"This— "
"Priestess, explain yourself! Why would you do that to Alpha York?"
"Gentlemen please calm down..." Queen Margery said. "I think we should find a place to sit down and talk. We cannot discuss this matter here. Shall we— "
"So you didn’t want to attract the attention of the other shifters?" A shifter woman asked. "And you really dared to disrespect an Alpha on the first night that we visited here?"
"Alpha Nomina..."
"No. I want to hear the truth. Alpha Justin had a reputation of sleeping with various women but... " the woman looked at Mildred. "You really wanted us to believe that he tried to assault this... witch? This?"
Mildred’s face reddened.
The woman’s obvious insult made the others nod their heads.
While these people might be a little weaker than the Lycans, it was common knowledge that all shifters looked better than the rest of the humans and witches. And this is not just Werewolves and Lycans. Weretigers, Werelion, Werebears, and other Shifters usually looked better and would always stand out in the crowd too.
They were really tall and have a very good physique. Because of this, they don’t need to force someone to sleep with them as people would sometimes flock around people with good looks.
While witches are part of the supernatural, they aren’t like shifters when it comes to physical appearance. Moreover, a physical defect that had been present since their birth cannot be changed or altered by magick. Of course, they have the option to undergo some surgery but that would be doing something against nature that they totally believe in, right?
"Tell us everything that happened!" the King said, anger apparent in his voice.
"I— I didn’t know why he suddenly hugged me and started kissing me. Priestess Ulva saved me when I screamed." Mildred said.
"How dare you accuse an Alpha of doing that? Alpha Justin never forced women to sleep with him!"
"Calm down Alpha Celon." Another Alpha said.
"Am I not telling the truth? Alpha Justin is young and strong and powerful. How could someone like that force — did you try to seduce him? That must be it!"
"Enough!" Priestess Ulva uttered. "Perhaps hurting an Alpha was a mistake but I would never let you blame the victim! Especially if the victim is one of my witches!" freewebnσvel.cøm
"She’s clearly lying— "
"Between her words and the words of a womanizing Alpha?" Ulva sneered. "My answer is— "
"Actually, there is a way to know what really happened."
Everyone turned their heads only to discover Ava along with two other Alphas who were from South America. The two older men nodded at the other Werewolves and bowed at the King.
"Miss Woods..." Midred called out before she gritted her teeth in irritation. Both Ulva and Mildred already knew that this was Ava’s words. That woman was indeed a schemer!
But what can they do?
Are they really going to accept the fact that they tried to harm a Lycan just to frame Ava?
"I would not subject my witch to a truth potion! Feel free to let the Werewolf drink that!" Ulva immediately said. She knew that Ava did something to Justin. And the potion should show that.
"Potion?" Ava smiled. "Who told you that I am using a truth potion?"
"Then what way are you talking about?" Ulva asked. Her insides were already threatening to explode from too much anger. If only her eyes could kill Ava, she would have done so the moment Ava showed herself. "I knew of something that could make someone tell the truth but that involves a ritual and I would not allow anyone to take a vial of my witches’ blood!"
"My Goodness Priestess... I didn’t think that this was the extent of your knowledge!" Ava sneered.
