1011 Words
Elliot's POV
The whole castle is busy since yesterday because Allyson, the grandson of grandma Alice is coming back today after so many years of staying in New York.
"Elliot," Grandma Alice call me.
"Yes, grandmother?" I answered.
"Is everything prepared?" Ask grandma. I nod.
"Yes, grandmother. All prepare well for your grandson's come back ." I said with grinning. Her eyes are twinkling like a star. I know she misses them so much his grandson.
"Oh, good. Good. What time they will come?" Grandma Alice asks.
"Well, maybe around 4 pm. They are on their way. Allyson texted me when they left New York." I said smiling at her.
"Oh, that is well and good. How about the food? Are they enough?
" Yes, grandma. Don't worry. How many visitors the King will bring grandma?" I ask.
"Only four visitors, Elliot." She replies
"Ok, grandma," I say.
"Well, that is fine. When Allyson comes home tell him I am waiting for him in my bedroom." Grandma says.
"Yes, Grandma," I reply.
The secret guard from the entrance of our territory mind linking me.
"Guardian Elliott, the King is entering now in our territory with his friends."
"Okay, guard them discreetly."
"Yes, guardian Elliot." the warrior guard reply.
"Close the invincible barrier as soon as they entered," I command.
"Yes, Guardian." The secret guard says.
"Grandmother, Allyson is now inside our territory with his friends." As I mind-link grandmother Alice.
"Oh, thank you. Bring Allyson here, asap." Grandma says.
"Yea, grandma." Then I close the link. I go to the large veranda of the castle. Looking at the car of Allyson, I've seen them near in the castle so I mind-link the butler and the chief cook to prepare the meal for the King and his friends. I go downstairs after giving instructions to the people in the castle.
"Ok, let's go inside," I heard Allyson say. I wave my hand to open the main door of the castle. I greet the King and my childhood friend.
"Allyson! It's you. Welcome back!" I happily greet my King as I walk towards them and I give Allyson a brotherly hug. I missed my friend.
"This is Elliot, guys. My childhood friend." As Ali introduced me to his friends. I smell peculiarly odd in the air. It's come from three friends of Allyson. Werewolves, I thought, who is now shaking with my hand.
"Oh, so you bring visitors as grandma said," I said.
"Yes! Where is grandma?" Allyson asks.
"She is in her bedroom. Come inside. Maybe you are starving. The food is ready for you." We follow Elliot.
********
As we enter the castle, I watched the four closely. Their naughty eyes looked into every detail of the entrance hall of the castle. The biggest man who has blonde hair and blue eyes noticed the head of wolves' designs at the corners. He and the twins have meaningful looks on their eyes looking at the head of the wolves.
"Come on guys. Let's go to the dining hall." I speak loudly and their attention back to me.
"Oh, omg. Allyson you never told me you are freaking rich, man!" The human says to Allyson.
"What is the difference if I told you or not? My career is a policeman." Allyson replied.
"Oh, you are humble. I envy you, my friend." The human taps Allyson's shoulder.
"Elliot lead them to the dining hall. I will go to grandma, first." Allyson says.
"Sure," I reply and invite them to follow me while Allyson goes to the grand staircase for grandmother.
********
As I lead them in the dining hall, I ask their names.
"Hey, guys would you like to introduce yourselves? I'm Elliot as Allyson said"
"I am Colton Campbell," the blonde-haired man with blue eyes introduces himself voluntarily. Shaking my hand. Then the twin introduces themselves.
"I am Alex,"
"I am Lex,"
"And I am Cris." The human said. The three are werewolves. What they are doing here? I say to myself.
"Ok, take your seats." I give a signing nod to the housekeeper to assist them on their designated chair.
"Oh, wow! It feels that we are in the royal palace. We got the royal treatment." I heard Cris whisper to Lex or Alex. I am not sure. The twin is very identical.
"Ok, let's wait, grandmother and Allyson. They are coming down." I announce.
Everybody turns their head around when grandmother and Allyson enter the hall.
"Wow, Allyson! I didn't know you have a voluptuous and beautiful girlfriend." Cris exclaims. I give him a piercing look that makes him shut his mouth. I don't like his remarks, seems he is disrespecting grandmother Alice but Allyson chuckled. Well, he is always a happy-go-lucky man. Without worrying nothing in this world.
"She is not my girlfriend, Cris. She is my one and only grandmother." Allyson said.
"What?!" They said in unison.
"Is it true?" One of the twins said as he look at me to confirm.
"Yes. He is our grandmother." I smirk. Their faces are so funny.
"Oh, how come?" The other twin asks.
"How come I am not aging?" My grandmother asks.
"Well, perks of being rich. Of course, I do have anti-aging creams and besides, I married young, so I'm young when I get my Allyson as my grandson."
"Oh," Lex said.
"Oh," Alex said.
"Oh," Colton said.
"Oh," Cris said.
Allyson pulls the chair at the center of the table. Grandmother sits into it. Next, he pull the left chair beside her to sit.
"Ok, boys, let's enjoy our snacks." As grandmother smile. Then we follow my grandmother Alice without a word. Allyson clears his throat when he notices that the guys are looking at grandma.
********
"Oh, by the way, guys. My name is Alice. Alice Alder." Grandmother Alice herself to the visitors.
"And welcome to Die Letzte Grenzburg Castle." As grandma continues. Well, it is a German word that means 'The Last Frontier'. I quietly get food, put it on my plate, and start digging my food.
