Chapter 92: War Of The Two Realms

"Today’s lesson focuses on one of the most pivotal moments in our history, the Great War that reshaped our world two centuries ago. A story I’m sure it’s familiar with if not all of you. However, today, we’d be revisiting our roots" said Professor Alwen, an older looking man with silver streaks in his hair.

The mention of the Great War immediately silenced any remaining murmurs from the class. The subject of the Great War had always been a sensitive yet intriguing topic for the younger generation who were currently suffering the aftermath of the decisions made by their ancestors. However, there were so many versions of this story it was impossible to tell which one to believe, hence Violet for one was excited for the chance to hear it from an authoritative source.

Alwen began, "After the discovery of the supernatural, precisely the were-kind, humans and werewolves began to live in an uneasy coexistence. While there were prejudices, outright conflict was rare. However, fear and ignorance always have a way of festering into hatred. And now, this brings us to the catalyst of it all, the story of Elena and Kael."

Alwen swiped the screen of the electronic board, bringing it to life. An image of a stunning human woman alongside a striking werewolf appeared. The title beneath them read: Elena and Kael: The Tragic Bond.

Alwen explained. "In a time when tensions between humans and werewolves were on the rise, Elena, a human noble, unknowingly became the mate of Kael, a powerful werewolf alpha. Kael courted her in secret, showing her kindness, protecting her from harm, and even sneaking into human territory to be close to her. Over time, Elena fell in love with him, even though she didn’t fully understand the depth of the mate bond. As you already all know, the mate bond is a sacred connection, unbreakable and all-consuming. But not all stories of love end in happiness... "

Violet’s pen hovered over her notebook as the man continued, his words captivating her.
