The Dangerous Wolf's Woman

Her Brother's Release

"Jason, There's no excuse from you this time, as you will have to travel out across the border with Tyler to capture a human, whether male or female, and bring them into the pack to be used for the upcoming mating ceremony. Unless you want the Marcus family to divide our packs, as I heard Axel Marcus capture a human and wanted to host a personal feast in his house."

"Hm." Jason frowned.

"Okay father. We will try, but you should note that humans are also aware of us now, and they keep vigilante and night watch for us. So you should note that this is a deadly mission trying to abduct any of the humans."

"I know Jason, but protocols had to be followed. And to perform a full mating ritual, we need at least one human for the ceremony."

"Okay, father," Jason stared away and walked out of the hall. And he saw Ava standing outside with a sullen face as Ava stared away from him angrily, just as he stepped out.

Jason's worst nightmare was realizing Tyler was Ava's mate. As Jason feared Ava could reveal his secret of hiding a human in his inner chambers to Tyler,.

Jason stared away from Ava as he walked out, waiting for Tyler to also step out, as they were both going hunting to begin together.

Jason finally saw Tyler step out and also stare at Ava with love, but Ava rather stared away from Tyler angrily. She hissed and walked back into the mansion, making Jason sighed in relief as he didn't trust Ava.

Ava really wanted to pull down the door to his inner chamber to get Ann out, as Ava hasn't gotten over Ann's scent.

Jason quickly darted back into the house, surprising Tyler, who thought they were leaving. And so Tyler stood speechlessly waiting for Jason to return. Jason darted to the stairs and went upstairs, remembering he hadn't locked the sitting room entrance door properly. Ava has already tampered with the corridor door.

Jason climbed the flight of stairs and saw Ava by the second-floor stairs, but Ava rather stared away from him in anger and walked into her room.

While Jason sighed and walked upstairs to the sitting room, he locked the door properly to be sure no one would enter his chamber while he was away.

Jason finally walked back downstairs to the hall, and he stepped out and went hunting with Tyler.

In Gold City Kingdom, the guards walked to the dungeon and pulled open one of the cage doors, and they pulled Samuel Maverick and dragged him away as Samuel was furious and sweating, wondering how Mia was doing.

Samuel wasn't allowed to see Mia, nor was Mia allowed to see him either. As whenever Mia visited the dungeon to check up on Samuel, the two guards stopped her and sent her away, no one was allowed to see him.

Sanuel was fed with little food, not enough to feed a baby, but Samuel realized he was able to eat rats without the guards knowledge, making him still look healthy, unlike one that had been starved.

Samuel also noticed he was able to see in the dark, and he could see from afar, as he saw his eyes glow like a torch at night.

Samuel wondered what was wrong with him. At midnight, he would transform and try to study himself, and he realized he was truly a werewolf, and his power is usually charged at night.

Samuel had howled once, and he heard the guards running and hitting themselves, wondering what animal had jumped into the dungeon, and was making the noise as the guards didn't return to check on him.

Samuel had missed Mia, and stepping out to the field, with the harsh burning sun hitting his yellow skin, Samuel sighed as the guards pushed him roughly to the front of the crowd gathered in Gold City Palace to withhold his release.

Samuel took a mental note of all the folks gathered, and he looked at them, while the murmuring increased as Samuel resembled late Leo Maverick. He was a carbon copy of his late father, only that Samuel had silver hair.

Samuel was fair like his father, and only Mia was dark like their mother, as Samuel remembered his mother.

"Citizens of Gold City Kingdom, Do you all want this beast to become your next ruler of the Gold City Kingdom? Imagine Samuel had been locked up for 19 years and starved, and yet he still looked this fresh, like one who had been having three square meals per day in the dungeon." Joel questioned, as his own fist tightened and clenched, trying so hard to control his rage, and Samuel used his eyes to search for Mia, and he saw her standing beside their aunt, Mrs. Ella Maverick.

And all Samuel's previous anger vanished, seeing how pretty and healthy Mia had grown up to be.

Mia looked breathtakingly beautiful, making Samuel ignore his uncle's ridiculous words to their citizens about him being a werewolf.

And as Samuel stared at the citizens gathered, his gaze fell on the young ladies smiling at him as they seemed to blush.

Samuel had long silver hair, and he usually cut it when he was home, but after being locked in the dungeon for years, his hair had grown longer and reached his waist length.

Samuel now understood why his mother used to cut their hairs and asked them never to allow it to grow long. As he was truly a werewolf and since he knew, he wondered if Mia also knew that neither their mother nor father wasn't truly human.

Samuel doubted his father was a werewolf, as if his father was truly a werewolf, then the wolves wouldn't have eaten them up.

And Samuel felt sad, wondering if Ann was truly killed. And he stared back at the crowd gathered while Joel spoke.

"Samuel was flogged and lashed daily by the guards as part of his punishments for ten years, and yet his skin tore, but the marks are not visible. Are you sure you all want Samuel to rule as the next king of the Gold City Kingdom? Remember, there have been recent discoveries of bones also found in his dungeon, and worst of all, we don't want to think Samuel now ate humans as none of the guards have been declared missing, so do you all still want Samuel to rule?."

The crowd was silent at first, as some were truly afraid of all Joel said, but staring at Samuel and seeing that Samuel looked like a demigod, with his long silver hair and well-sculpted face, The crowd screamed, "Yes!. We want Samuel to rule! His late father was a good man, and so definitely Samuel is also a good man too. Let him have the benefit of doubt; let Samuel rule. Hail, King Samuel! Hail, hail hail!" The crowds chanted, and Joel had no other option but to command the guards, "Release the handcuffs at once."

Samuel stared at the wrist that the shackles had falked off from, as he hadn't expected the people of Gold City Kingdom to still accept him as their ruler.

Samuel was 21 years old, and he still had a lot to learn, as he also wanted to search for his mother's village, travel there, and discover it for himself.

Samuel knew the guards that had accompanied his parents were killed the same night they returned; without traces, his uncle was the one who had ordered the guards to be killed so as not to leak his secret.

Samuel stared at the crowd chanting happily for him, and he saw a young lady smile at him, as she was light-skinned. He smiled back at her and stared away to meet his uncle and the rest of the elders standing at the front of his royal mansion.

"Hail, King Samuel Maverick of the Gold City Kingdom," Juda Matteo stated, and the crowds continued to jubilate, but Samuel remembered that Elder Juda was the one in support of him being thrown into the dungeon.

Samuel walked back into the grand hall, and Mia ran up to meet him and hugged him tightly, while Samuel hugged her back in return.

"Have missed you, brother," Mia sobbed to Samuel's chest, and he patted her back to stop crying, while he replied, "Is okay, Mia? I'm here now. There's nothing to worry about," but still, Mia kept on crying, as she had witnessed Samuel being flogged and tortured severely by the guards who were forcing him to confess.

Samuel had spoken to her mind to stop crying, as Mia was first to unknowingly telepathic to his mind, asking him if he was hurt, but Samuel replied, "I'm fine, Mia; be strong for me."

"Mia, allow Samuel to go in and freshen up first. He still has a lot to learn as the new ruler of the Gold City Kingdom," Ella Maverick approached as she took Mia away from Samuel's embrace. While Samuel realized that Lady Ella had been kind enough to take care of Mia in his absence, he thanked her before walking to the stairs.
