Abandoned Lycan Queen 64 Elena's POV Bryson took a quick step back while my eyes remained on Prince Deacon, whose eyes had traveled down to my wrist, which had a mild mark from Bryson's tightened grip His jaws clenched into anger as he raised his hand and gently touched the marks on my wrist. Looking deep into my eyes, he asked, "Are you okay?" I shook my head and gave a small smile. "I'm fine. It's nothing.
Still not letting go of my wrist, he turned his head sharply at Bryson. "Is the mess you and your wife had done not enough that you are making a fuss here now?" Bryson's earlier fury againsthad momentarily faltered, but the intensity of his eyes was still there.
In disbelief, he asked, "Prince Deacon, you can't seriously be siding with her. Glenda needs us" Prince Deacon stood before him and cut him off, "Glenda defied orders, Bryson. She made her choice. If you're determined to find her, take your people and go. But don't expect anyone else to clean up her mess." My eyes widened at his suggestion. I looked at him in shock, wondering if he was really serious about what he said, but his face showed no emotions, and his eyes were dimmed with an authoritative demeanor.
Caught off guard by Prince Deacon's indifference, Bryson bewilderingly asked, "You can't be saying... You're saying that...I should go alone?" Prince Deacon merely shrugged and pulledback inside, guidingto my seat as he did on the other chair beside me.

Either you lead as an example to show how it's done as you find it so easy, so shut up. But letclarify. You won't drag Elena hand her people or mine into this." Bryson's fist and jaw clenched tightly. The anger burning within him was evident by how red his face had becfrom his suppressed rage. "So that's it? You'll just throw us into a battle and not even back us up when we chere to aid you?" Prince Deacon's demeanor beccolder as he leaned forward, elbows on the armrest and hands clasped together. His eyes were devoid of emotion and staring deadly into Bryson's.
Opening his lips, the words that cfrom his throat were as deep as the ocean and cold as ice: "That's right. You cto aid, and instead, you and your team brought nothing but disaster!" Bryson swallowed with difficulty as he took a step back.
"I think you don't want to test how far my patience goes tonight, Bryson. Or are you questioning m, authority now, too?" Prince Deacon continued, narrowing his eyes as he spoke with authority and fierceness.
Bryons involuntarily shifted his gaze away from Prince Deacon, intimidated by his demeanor. Shoulders slamming down in defeat, he replied in a small, pursed voice, "Fine. I'll wait." After saying that, he gaveone last glare before angrily turning around and leaving the tent, harshly closing the fabric door. His heavy footsteps could even be heard from outside, which said a lot since the ground was dirt.
I rolled my eyes, thinking, "What a fucking child." Heaving a sigh of relief from his disappearance, I held my armrest and was about to stand up when Prince Deacon 1/2 Chapter 64 beatto it. His hand suddenly landed on my shoulder, gently pushingback to my seat.
Standing up, he looked atwith a softened expression and commanded, "Elena, stay here. Don't return to the barracks yet." Puzzled, I raised my brows. "Why? What's going on?" Even though this was just a temporary camp, the premises had been fully checked and guarded. There won't be likely any sudden attacks tonight. Would we be in a fight? If not, why else would we need to stay here? Prince Deacon let out a faint smile and nodded his head as though to gesture that it was the end of the discussion." You'll understand soon enough. For now, just trust me." I stared into his eyes, seemingly staring deep into my soul and suckingin. There's so much trust in them that I couldn't even bear to doubt his words.
After a moment of thinking, I nodded my head slowly and decided to blindly trust him. "Alright. I'll wait." After all, what harm could it bring? He's the prince and the god of war. So far, all his decisions have been nothing but great. If it weren't for those ridiculous couple, we would probably be on our way back now.
Upon hearing my affirmation, he nodded and smiled with satisfaction. Tapping my head lightly, he instructed, ' Good. Keep your people in place, too. No unnecessary movement."
- After he left, I stood up and looked at my warriors scattered around the camp - lying down, resting, tending their wounds, or resupplying - and called out their attention, "Everyone!" Once they focused all their attention on me, I authoritatively ordered, "Stay here. No one moves without my order." As I ordered, everyone remained in their place and discreetly continued what they were doing.

Exhausted from the battle and confronting Bryson, I slammed down to the ground in the co the corner with lan bottle of water in my hand, gulping from it now and then. Being on the corner was the greatest place, so I could keep my eyes on everyone and observe what's happening. If needed, I could be alerted fast and act on it.
Heaving a sigh, I leaned back on the foundation post and leaned my head back, closing my eyes for a little while. Then, I felt someone sliding down and sitting beside me.
"Elena, you don't care what happens to Glenda, do you?" Maise cautiously asked as I felt Saige sitting down on either side.
gave each of them a stare before shrugging my shoulders. "It's not about whether I care or not. Shem made her choices, which jeopardized everything. This isn't just about her. It's about the kingdom and the entire battle." Saige mercilessly sneered. "I hope they finish her off. It's no less than she deserves." Maise shrugged and annoyingly pointed out, "Yes! She has caused nothing but trouble. Maybe this is the moon goddess balancing the scales." I could hear them talking more, cursing and wishing for Glenda's death, but their voices slowly faded as my thoughts fell back to the disaster that fell to my pack.
