Chapter 96 The Much Needed Boost (Nikolas POV)

I had yet to bring myself to send a message to Piotr requesting help.

I did not want to impose, nor did I want him to prove his friendship.

I believe if indeed he planned on helping, he would send me a letter, and the fact that I was yet to receive any from him, I believed it was all talk.

I was impressed with what Ingham and Grant did in Timber.

Title of the document

The werewolf engineers replicated the weapons we bought and even made exceptional modifications.

We did not know if Fredrick would come with weapons, but if that was the case, we would be ready.

Our blades were galvanised with silver, there were lighter, sharper and easy to wield. Our gun loaded faster and discharged bullets more quickly than the prototype.

We had some grenades too.

Also, special vests were created to stop bullets from piercing our chests. The engineers had outdone themselves, and I was impressed by their work.

“This is impressive,” I said to Ingham, who was standing beside me, and he beamed with joy and bowed his head.

He was the one in charge of the section, and he had done an excellent job.

He would have still been in the Ranks if he had not defied me and treated Aliana disrespectfully simply because he felt he could.

Not wanting to dwell in the past, I moved on.

Qusack and I checked everything and came to the conclusion that we were more than ready for the war. Though Fredrick had the number, we had weapons to even the odds.

I was satisfied with the work and grateful for the team I had gathered over the years. They had been indeed loyal and faithful. I wouldn’t have come far without them; keeping that at the back of my mind, I appreciated them.

When we were having drinks in the night after we were done, I decided to speak to my men. I cleared my throat and looked at them with gratitude.

“Just yesterday, we were running in the wild trying to survive. I met you all at your lowest, and you all knew when I was nothing but a lost prince trying to survive and take back what is rightfully his.

You followed me diligently and were devoted to my cause.

They say Lycans are incapable of Loyalty, but in our case, it is wrong. Your Loyalty has been unwavering, giving me the courage to press on even when it seems there is no road ahead.

I want you all to know that I appreciate all you are doing, and I want to plead with all of you to ensure you do not fall on the battlefield.

The only one that should fall is Fredrick and his followers. I want to sit, party, and drink with all of you when this is over. I want to attend your weddings and meet your children. Promise me that you all will survive,” I said, and Qusack patted my shoulder.

“We want the same promise from you, your majesty,” he said, and with that, we made a toast promising each other that we would grow old and have each other’s back. After the promises, Ingham moved to speak, and I decided to give him the floor.

“I want to start by apologising to you for what I did. It was wrong of me to treat Aliana the way I did, and my time away has helped me to reflect on my flaws. I just want to plead for forgiveness and hope you will give me a chance to apologise to Aliana properly,” he said, and I nodded with a half smile.

“From the moment I called you in and entrusted you with a responsibility, a profound transformation occurred within me. It was a moment of forgiveness, a letting go of any lingering resentment. I am sure that Aliana, too, harbours no grudges. Nevertheless, I encourage you to extend your heartfelt apology to her, which shall bring solace to your troubled heart.

Ingham, I beseech you to understand something of great importance. It is a truth that resonates deeply within me, one that I implore you to embrace wholeheartedly: women, be they werewolves, halfbreeds, or Lycans, deserve the utmost respect. They should never be treated as mere objects of pleasure or amusement. No, they are the essence of our existence, the steady anchor that keeps us grounded amidst life’s tumultuous storms.

They possess an extraordinary capacity to help us forget our troubles, providing us with a compassionate shoulder to lean on. When we find ourselves unable to reveal our vulnerabilities, they graciously offer their unwavering support. They endure our shortcomings and breathe life into us with their boundless joy, love, and laughter. In tending to our humanity, they preserve our sanity and nurture our souls.

These remarkable beings, whether friends, lovers, mothers, sisters, or colleagues, are the pillars of our strength. They deserve our utmost reverence and admiration.

Their unwavering love propels us forward, igniting the fire within our hearts. Their presence is a gift, a constant reminder of their profound impact on our lives. I hope you remember these things and never try to disrespect a woman again,”

As I spoke these words, Ingham nodded, his eyes filled with remorse and shame. And at that moment, I could sense a flicker of understanding awakening within him, as if he glimpsed the magnitude of his actions.
