"Your highness, this is the wolfsbane plant" Darren said then the King collected the plant.
"This is the plant… why am I getting weak" King Hemlock said.
"Your highness, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before, it also makes us weak because it is a poisonous plant but it doesn't kill us" Darren said then the king threw the plant away.
"We can't use the wolfsbane again because it also affects us… take go and dump it far away" King Hemlock said.
"Okay, your highness" Darren said and took the plant, he bowed his head then he left.
"What can I use to kill all the werewolves?" King Hemlock thought.

"Start speaking or else I will tell him to kill you" The King said then the guard glanced at Amoux.
"Your highness, he is lying" The guard said.
"Kill him" King Adalwolf said.

"Your highness, it… is… the… truth" The guard stammered.
"You are working for Hemlock… why is everyone betraying me" King Adalwolf said, angrily.
"I'm sorry, your highness" The guard said, bowing his head.
"Amoux, kill him" The King said.
"No...your highness,don't kill me" The guard said then Amoux brought out his magic sword and stabbed him.
"I don't even know who to trust again… go and dump his corpse" King Adalwolf said.

"Nothing" The King said.
"Your highness, please let me prepare you what to eat" Calissa said then King Adalwolf raised his head, he smiled.
"Okay" The King said then Calissa bowed her head and left.
"I like her" The king thought.

"Ma'am, let me assist you" Crystal said.
"No, don't worry" Calissa said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Crystal" Calissa said.
One hour later, Calissa finished cooking, she took the food to the king's chamber.
"Your highness, this is the food" Calissa said.
"Take it to my room… I want to eat in my room today" King Adalwolf said.
"Okay, your highness" Calissa said and took the food to his room.

"What?? He found out" King Hemlock said.
"I think there is a betrayal among us that giving the werewolves the details about us" Darren said.
"Huh! I want you to find out the person" King Hemlock said, angrily.

"Hemlock, what do you want from me? I don't want to do any evil job for you" Balwolf said then King Hemlock laughed evilly.
"I know you are very close to Adalwolf so I want you to kill" King Hemlock said.
"I can't do the job" Balwolf said then King Hemlock got angry, he brought out his sword and placed it on his neck.
"You can kill me" Balwolf said.
"If you don't do the job I won't kill but I will kill all your families" King Hemlock said.
"No… Hemlock… don't kill my family, they are… all I have" Balwolf said.
"If you don't want me to kill them, will you kill Adalwolf" King Hemlock said then Balwolf nodded his head.
"That's good… Darren, take him back to his house" King Hemlock said.
