Complications

I inform 'The Sqaud' as Arlo puts it. To meet me at the lycans house. Apparently, it's known as a pack house, I was annoyingly corrected. Who knew a Lycan king would slum it, and live as an ordinary pack wolf. I suppose he is an ordinary wolf now. Kind of, he is a Lycanthrope.

All kings in the werewolf world are Lycanthropes. Stronger, larger and more humanoid beasts. That stand tall on two legs. They were the first of their kind. Originally known as Wulvers. I guess, that name didn't sound intimidating enough.

Over time, non royal wulver genetic make up changed. Birthing the werewolfs we know today. Sleeker and more agile wolves. The Wulver/Lycan dynasty is the oldest on earth. They have kept their original forms.

Janice is here, but there's no sign of the twins. I'm getting impatient. I've gathered all the wolves in to a large hall to address the plan. I've waited long enough. I look out to the crowd.

"You sense my aura, you sense my power. Tell me who am I to you?" In unison they call out "Queen". It's good to be back. "Will you follow me into battle? Will you help me take back control of my kingdom?"

Someone bang a sheild cause I'm living for this moment. "AYE" they cry. They all shift into their wolves and howl, A howl to arms, if you will. "Thank you. When we win, you'll be rewarded for your service" One steps forward shifting into a young woman. "The reward has already been given to us by serving you. Hybrid Queen" Another round of howls erupt in the room.

Back in the lycans office, which I've taken over. "Janice find out what's happened to the boys". She starts typing a message. Storming in, the lycan himself. "You've taken my throne, if I could resist the urge to worship you. I'd fight for it back."

I roll my eyes at him. "That is treason, did I not say, that if you help me I will let you keep it?" His eyes narrow, notably pissed off "It doesn't matter they don't answer to me anymore" I get what he's going through, I was litrally just in the same position. Right now though, I need to keep the my eye on the target. I can't waste time being sympathetic.

"They will, when I rise you back up to power" He reluctantly bows and walk over to me. I stand up to walk over to Janice. The lycan takes his seat back. He pulls me on his lap and takes me in an embrace. He buries his face in my hair and takes a large inhale "God you smell incredible, My beast adores you"

I do enjoy being in his arms, so I stay put. Janice just raises her brows at me, shakes her head then turns back to her phone when a notification comes through. "Majesty" Ahh it's good to be Queen, I've missed that. "Dante has replied. He says there has been complications" What on earth does that mean. "Does he explain, what that means?" Janice just shakes her head again.

.....

(Dante's point of view)

I agree with my brother, I feel incredible, confident and stronger. I feel unstoppable. We've ran and lept through the woodland roads to the human kings Palace. Testing our new forms. I feel so alive. Arlo is having 'the time of his life'. I know this because he sang the song 3 times, terribly.

I'm too in the the zone to care. I'm having fun. I'm loving this. I feel slightly carefree. Let's not push it, though. One of us has to be responsible and serious.

We arrive in the Palace grounds. Arlo lands beside me "Woo! That was everything ggguuuurrrllll" Normally I'd slap my brother but right now, I'm just enjoying the vibe. Arlo noticed as he ducked and nothing came.

I laugh "I will give you a free pass cause I'm in a good mood." Arlo stops in his tracks and blinks a few times then shrugs "Yeah man, I get that. I feel great. I'm not even bothered by the whole Helena loss thing right now"

I feel bad for him, I've never seen him that way around another person. Usually he's just up for a good time. He was different around her. "Yeah bro, I'm sorry. We haven't really had the time to talk about it. I'm always here if you need me." I might seem tough and serious but I'm also the caring kind.

"I know dude. She was just, I can't even describe it. Insanely hot! First time I seen myself having a life with someone. Then POOF! She's gone, blasted out of existence. Dust in the wind. I cllooosssee myyy eyyyeesss"

I smack him across the back of the head. Yeah, maybe I can't handle another song "Hey!" I just shake my head "I'm not listening to you singing dust in the wind." He scoffs "Pfft! Haters" He can always make me laugh but I hold it back. I don't want to encourage his madness.

"She was super hot. She did come from vamps, She was a seriously diluted one if you think about it. Anyhoo... You? Having a life with someone? Like settling down, playing house?" He stops again "What? No! I mean like someone to party with, just with all the fun and mooshie stuff. ya know!" He sighs "What I wouldn't give to hear 'O.M.G! Arnold' right now"

The Palace entrance is in view when we are surrounded, by a fleet of crossbow weilding people "What the fuck?" I say to Arlo. He just puts his hands out to the side, palms facing up and shrugs.

A flurry of arrows shoot and fly around us "Aaahh flying stakes! Get 'em Dante, get 'em!" Arlo screeches dodging the flying wood. "WHOAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I shout over to the crossbow crew. "There have been multiple vampire attacks in several areas. We have been ordered to shoot on sight" So the serpentine queen has moved her battle to the human world already.

"We were sent to warn the king of the serpentine queens plans to attack, but I guess we are late" I see the humans conferring with each other. "Question! How did you even know we were vampires?" Arlo addresses them. Good question!

"A witch placed a spell on the palace, 300 years ago. After the first vampire attack on our kingdom. It sounds an alarm when a supernatural passes." Arlo nods at the explanation "So you didnt know exactly, Just trigger happy with the crossbows hoping to hit a vamp. We could have been any type of supernatural, in fact we are a different type of supernatural! We need to speak to the king, our lady has a plan"

We make our way over to the entrance, when an arrow pierces through Arlo's heart "NO! I cry and rush to him. He's on the ground. his eyes are shut. no, no, no, no. I feel a strong surge of power rise in me. I feel rage with my grief.

I transform into my new hybrid form and charge towards the humans. I take out several of them with my bare hands. Blood and body parts flying everywhere. They keep launching arrows. I move too quick they can't get a good shot on me. As I'm holding the last 2 in the air. Arlo shoots up and throws the arrow that was in his chest. The arrow goes straight through one of their heads. I break the neck of the other.

"DUDE!! I call out running towards him with my arms open. Arlo mimics my actions and runs towards me. We collide into a hug. "You scared me, I thought you'd been staked." Arlo laughs "Can't get rid of me that easily. Good to know that doesn't kill us anymore. Just so you know, You kinda rock the long hair man" Aah Arlo, I fucking love you. I won't say it to his face though.

We make our way inside the Palace uninvited. We wander into the council chamber room. The guard we scared told us that's where the king was.

Again we are surrounded. I put my hands up. "Take it easy, If you don't want to lose more men. I suggest you lower your weapons." The king stands up "HOW DARE YOU!!" He yells at us "How dare you enter my palace after what your kind has done today. I know exactly who you are. You are the exiled queen's men. Is this what she plans to do? Take over my kingdom, cause she doesn't have one anymore?"

Stupid arrogant bastard. "No, your grace, my lady sent us to warn you of the serpentine queens attack on your realm, after finding out about the fae world. Like I said to the men outside. Regrettably, we've arrived too late" The king looks over to one of his council members "What attack on the fae realm?" The council member starts rummaging through his reports and pulls one out.

"I see, I apologise for the accusation. I also have been informed too late" The king tells us looking up from the document. "We apologise for the pile of corpses at the entrance" Fucking Arlo needs to keep his mouth shut.

"WHAT!?" Again I put my hands up. "Your majesty, we were protecting ourselves. Your men didn't back down after our explanation, and we weren't going to let them shoot us" The king settles a little, but still angered. "Our lady wishes to keep all treaties in place, once she takes her thrown back. She sent us to warn you as a gesture of good faith."

My phone is buzzing in my pocket. I take it out. Shit! We are late. "Guards sieze them." The guards all draw out crossbows. Great more of them. I quickly type saying, there's been complications and put my phone in my pocket. Why do we constantly have to fight? Arlo and I both change to our hybrid forms.

The humans gasp as I flash them my nightmare fueling smile. "What? What are you?" The king asks backing away. "We are a new race of hybrids and we will take down the serpentine queen. You can lower your weapons and be our allies or you can die right now if you attack. The choice is yours" I say preparing myself.

The king raises his hand and the crossbows are dropped. "Good, now that's settled, we will be on our way. My lady will update you in due course". Fucking humans.
