Jasmine get up from the bed and enter the bathroom, help me get dress.

Yes, my queen, she hurriedly move to help her pull off her dress.

She speaks softly to Jasmine, what have you decide on about the princess?.

Jasmine gave her a deadly look, she quickly bow down, am sorry your highness.

Crestella sit on the floor in her room looking at the closed window, she close her eyes listening carefully, she open her eyes slowly, they are here, she speaks quietly to herself.

Kendrick stares out sidethe window worries on his face, your highness, if I may speak, Benjamin request.

Kendrick look away from the window turn to him, what is it?I will suggest you invite the Alpha of Blackwood pack to the castle, him

coming here unannounced and coming himself when he could have just sent a message must mean it an important matter.

What if the reason he is here is to wage a war against us?, Kendrick ask him.

Your highness, the last war was settled between us, it already in the past, and according to the news we got last night,"he look at Jonas", he came with few warriors, which shows he is not here for war.

He turn to the rest of the council members, what do you think of Benjamin's suggestion, do you also want me to invite him here, they

chorus, yes your highness.

Inviting him will make us know his motive here, Jonas include in the suggestion.

Alright then have Kia escort him to the castle, Kendrick command, they all rise from their sit, as you wish, your highness.

Am getting tired of waiting, we should go back.

Steve walks to where Ken and Kia are standing, Sam yell behind him, you are walking away from me, let's just go back, Alpha, he call to Ken.

Steve whisper to Ken's ear, Sam is right, we should return back to the pack.

Peter stand beside Kia whisper softly to him, an order came from the castle, Kia look at him, what is it?.

Peter hesitate, the king has command to escort him to the court.

Kia walk back to where his warriors are standing in a fit of rage, stand down, the king has ordered us to allow them into the village, he turn back to Ken and his warriors, the king will see you but, he stops for a second, follow me quietly to the castle.

Ken smile and exclaim, why keep us waiting all night if they were going to let us in, Sam speak up.

We are letting you in not because we welcome you, you filthy animals, Peter yell back at him.

Sam fold his hand fist angry, Steve grab his hand, don't, we waited all night, compose yourself.

Kai take the lead leading them into the village, Ken and his warriors follow them, some of Kai warriors standing at the back of Ken's warriors guarding them into the village.

The market people mumbling among themselves wondering why werewolves are in their kingdom, why are they looking at us like that?,I hate the look on their faces.

Focus on our mission, don't get distract by them, Steve responds to Sam.

Lucia stand by the window looking outside, one of the guards guarding the house move close to her he close the window on her face, she look up at him, how dare you close the window.

Forgive me but I have to follow the instruction given to me.

He said I shouldn't leave the house not for you to disrespect me, she yell at him.

Elizabeth and Jasmine watch through the window, I feel uneasy, Jasmine speak softly.

I wonder why Blackwood pack is here, werewolves and vampires are mortal enemies, we don't get along, Elizabeth speaks watching them from the window.

Jonas enter the hall in haste, your highness, they have arrived.

Let them in, Kendrick command.

Kai lead them into the hall, kai and his warriors stand aside, Ken stand still looking at Kendrick sitting on his throne looking at each other, Sam and Steve stand at his back.

Everyone stays quiet staring at one another in the hall, Benjamin stand up from his sit bow to Ken, Alpha, why have you come to our kingdom?, he ask with a gentle voice.

Ken look round the hall everyone staring at him, am here to propose a peace treaty with your kingdom.

Kendrick stands up from his sit walk towards him, peace treaty!, he ask looking at him surprisingly, he look back at Benjamin, he's here for a peace treaty.

Your highness, Kendrick raise his hand up cutting Benjamin short, are you here to make a mockery of us? Because we lost the war.

Ken clear his throat, am not here to make a mockeryof your kingdom, I am her for peace.

Peace!, a peace treaty between werewolves and vampires that absurd.

Sam mind link Steve, I knew coming here will bring nothing but an embarrassment to us.

We have to make it happen to avoid the embarrassment, Steve mindlink him back.

Don't you get it, it an embarrassment for us standing here, they did not even let our warriors come inside.

Then what do you suggest?.

We should go back to the pack and forget about all this.

That wouldn't solve the matter, and what of Luna?, what will we tell her.

It a wrong idea of her ordering us to come here.

Ken let out a soft groan, enough, he says with his Alpha voice.

What is that about?, Peter ask quietly looking at Ken and his men.

I guess something is going on with them, werewolves have the power to speak with each other through mind linking, Moana respond.

How did you know that?.

Have fought enough werewolves for me to know, and we have them in the castle.

Oh, the werewolves maids.

Moana look at Peter with dismay.
