日韩一中文字暮2019

Sophie wanted to cry. Somehow she felt worried because Leland had never left her this long. After they were together, they had been inseparable. The longest he went away from her was many, many years ago when he went to Frisia to get his pack to Riga.

Leland also didn\'t seem too happy to leave Sophie and their kids behind even though it was only for several days, that he sent them to the royal palace.

They looked at each other. Sophie forced a smile and kissed his lips. "Take care and go back quickly."

"I will," Leland said solemnly. His heart fluttered at the possibility of getting news about Sophie\'s parents. No matter what, they needed to solve the mystery of what happened to them.

And if they were really dead, who was actually responsible for the crimes?

For years all he wanted was for Sophie and himself to get closure. Anne and Jack died tragically and he had been holding a grudge toward the wrong side. Now, it was time to finally know the truth.

With one final kiss, Leland left Sophie and his little ones.

Right before midnight, Leland and the ten strongest Lycans from the Blood River Pack had set out on a secret mission to kill Elias. Leland ran through the wind, in his mind he kept thinking about Anne and Jack and wondering if what Celia said was true.

When the sun\'s rays had almost dispelled all the darkness, they finally arrived near the borders of Armeria. They immediately transformed back into humans and put on their clothes. Not long after, two witches who had been waiting for their arrival immediately approached them.

The two witches thanked Leland for keeping his promise to come to free Eloise. Leland\'s expression was cold as usual. He had not come for Eloise at all but to find out the truth about Jack and Anne.

Upon seeing Leland\'s cold gaze that showed no desire to make small talk, one of the witches took out a bottle filled with a light purple liquid.

"What\'s that?" Leland asked flatly as he stared at the bottle.

"This is a potion that can remove your scent so that the border guards can\'t detect our presence. You have to use this potion."

Before taking the bottle, Leland looked at the two witches in front of him sharply.

"If you trick me you will die," he said.

When they saw Leland\'s gaze, the two witches broke out in cold sweat, wanting to shrink into the ground to hide.

"N-no, we wouldn\'t dare," said the witch who offered Leland the potion bottle. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Leland again.

Max stepped forward.

"Let me try it first, Alpha," he said. Even though they were currently cooperating with the witches, they had to remain vigilant because witches were skilled swindlers.

Max drank the potion. After a while, Leland and the other nine lycans could no longer smell his scent.

"We wouldn\'t dare lie to Alpha Leland," said the witch politely. "We also drank it ourselves."

Since it proved safe, Leland and the others also drank the potion and then continued their journey across the border and into Armeria\'s territory.

The potion worked so well, that the border guards were completely unaware of their arrival.

At this time within the Armerian royal palace, Alpha Elias was having a meeting with the officials to discuss the plan to attack Riga.

"Right now Riga has received support from many packs, plus royal soldiers and royal lycan hunters. Riga has enormous strength and support," said a man with a cross on his left face.

"But we have Luna and the coven of witches," one of them gave a rebuttal.

Alpha Elias who was sitting on the throne furrowed his brows and thought. He had found out Eloise\'s fondness for Alpha Leland in the past which he hated, and now Alpha Leland was on Riga\'s side. It was not impossible if that woman would finally decide to support the Riga Kingdom.

She no longer warmed up to him after Alpha Elias took over Armeria with her help. She often left the kingdom to do her own thing and Elias realized couldn\'t always rely on her.

"Leland, that traitor. He instead sided with Riga and chose the opposite path to the Obsidian Sand Pack with whom he is related," Likaios spoke up. "I can\'t wait to meet him in battle and teach him a lesson. So many of his former pack members would be happy to see him dead. He is a disgrace to his father\'s legacy."

Alpha Elias wished the same. He would be happy to attack Riga when the time came and meet Leland on the battlefield. But now was not a good time to attack Riga because that kingdom managed to raise so much support from among the lycans within its territory, which must be because of Leland\'s influence.

"Your Majesty!!"

"Alpha!"

Alpha Elias raised a brow and when he heard people call his name. He looked up and see two men came running inside the throne room. They immediately dropped their bodies to the floor. Right at the same time, they could hear a commotion from outside the palace.

Everyone stood up spontaneously. They were on high alert because they could feel danger.

"What happened?" Elias asked.

That question was also in the heads of everyone there.

One of the lycans who just entered immediately responded, "Alpha, an uninvited guest has come and attacked the guards at the palace gates."

"What? Who dares come here to make trouble with me?" asked Alpha Elias. Likaios wanted to go out to check and see what was going on but before he stepped out, the light from outside the door was overshadowed by a big tall figure who walked inside the throne room calmly.

"That is me." Leland halted his steps and stood valiantly in the doorway, staring coldly at Elias. The gleam in his eyes was like sunlight reflecting off an icy surface.

"You?" Elias\'s brows knitted sharply as Leland stepped in without any fear at all. Elias smiled sarcastically. "You came in here alone, you have a lot of guts."
