Nikolas POV
Aliana looked peaceful this morning, and I did not want to trouble her sleep. Qusack had linked me to inform me of the werewolves found dead in the woods. I learned they had gone to the woods to pick mushrooms and potatoes.
I wondered why Lycan hunters still thought it was okay to come and hunt for slaves in my woods.
I remembered how my mother and I lived in fear of them, and I realised that what we faced in the woods was the reality of the werewolves.
What King Frederick was allowing his people to do was highly disrespectful. I wasn’t sending men to the snow lands to hunt for slaves After all, they had werewolves living in their midst. Why would he think it was okay not to keep his people in check?
I had had enough of this nonsense, and it needed to stop.
There were many half breeds in Forest, and if I did not stop this disrespect, they would soon start hunting the half-breeds too. Werewolves could not detect half-breeds because lycans smelled similar, but Lycans could identify them from their scent. There was always something uncertain about them that made them questionably stand out. I did not want the hunters to come to Forest to eliminate werewolves and half breeds.
My qualms were with the people and the Alphas that sacked my family. I might have issues with the werewolves and not trust them, but this was my land, and they were Aliana’s people.
I snuck out of bed and went to freshen up in the bathroom Then I left the room. I linked Ania to tell Aliana where I was off to when she woke.
I also told her to take her to see her father once they were done with my mother.
I did not know how long I would be away from the palace, but I felt it was only fair Aliana got to see some sun.
Staring out the window and gazing at the garden looked cruel. Even though she didn’t say it, it seemed like she was in a cage looking out while I always had fun. I planned to find a balance between us. I joined Qusack outside the palace, and we headed towards the woods.
“This is getting too much,” Grant said, and I was glad he was beginning to see the issue. “King or not, Forest has a Lycan leader now, they were to liaise with us and get approval before venturing into our woods. King Frederick’s silence on the matter is disrespectful. He refused to respond and refused to call his people to order. Maybe he is under the illusion that he has rights over the forest,” Grant said, and I growled.
“The only King with rights over the forest is me,” I said, and Grant was silent.
