LIAHM POV:
*************
As the sunrise blazed outside my window, still laying on my bed thinking abundant things in my head. Feeling lazy in getting up, I scarcely wanted to lay down all day and tried to figure out what to do after the incident on the battlefield. God. My heart wants my mate back but my mind says otherwise and I wished to end my relationship with Vicky but how can I rectify after my mate left. Troubled. Reality knocked me after my mother swiftly entered my room.
“Good Morning!”
“Mom”, I uttered as I was startled by her abrupt appearance.
“How are you feeling? Why are you still laying on your bed?” She asked while walking towards my window to lift the blind curtains.
“I'm still sleepy ---- You should have knocked--- and please don’t raise my curtain, it’s too bright outside----thank you---- I will go downstairs later” I responded.
“Yeah! Yeah! ---I heard what happened yesterday. ---I know how troublesome you are feeling right now--- But as much as I want to converse about your mate or whatever they say --- God --- I didn’t even know you found your mate--- but anyways--- You have to get ready --- your father wants you to go to Africa tonight because Arkasia called and they already had a meeting with Guardian of the Light of Crystal Coven"
“OH! That’s good news Mom” happiness overflowed me since I know my little sister will be healed sooner.
“I know! I can’t wait to get your sister cured, I can’t stand to see her suffer more. ---- Don’t worry my dear--- We will handle your mating ritual after your return. I already talked to the council as well as Vicky, she needs to rest anyways”
“Well! That’s even a piece of good news” I gave her a blank expression while heading towards the bathroom.
“Who is this Yña? She must have been something for defeating Vicky” My mom suddenly asked while walking out of my room but I simply put on a smile and continued my business in the bathroom. I feel like mislaying when it comes to thinking about my mate undoubtedly I don’t know what to do with her yet but a sense of pride arose in my heart after my mom praised her victory against Vicky.
Later on, as we were onboard on our private airplane, I rested my head on my seat looking outside the window while a glass of wine was in my hand.
An episode of the fights and past events with my mate flashes on my mind.
Zack was doing some work on his laptop similarly with Wengs as I glanced at them, they were very busy.
And as much as Daxs wants to be with us, he was left in the castle to assist my mother to attend for Pia.
The ambiance and mood were entirely mollifying. Everything seemed silent so I decided to play some music on my air pod and enjoy the rest of the flight with a glass of good wine.

“Alpha, wake up! We have arrived.” Zack woke me up in my sleep as we were about to embark.
We went straight to our hotel and decided to rest early since our meeting with the Guardian of the Light will be early in the morning.
******
Sunrise came.
After our usual morning routine, running in our wolf form at the nearby forest, we decided to skipped our breakfast and instead headed straight to the meeting.
I jogged downstairs to hop up in the car, Zack and Wengs were already in the lobby waiting for me.
“Good Morning, Alpha!” Zack greeted me with a smile.
“Good Morning! How’s everything?”
“It’s Okay! Arkasia called and she is already in the location with Mr. Mcflow, They are waiting for us.”
“OH! Wait, are we late?”
“No—no—they’re just early, we are on time”
“Good”
*****
As we arrived at the place Arkasia, my grandmother, welcomed us in the lobby.
“My sweetheart! How are you ---OH ---I miss you.” Arkasia said while giving me a big hug.
“Greetings to you my queen mother!” I answered while bestowing her a warm embraced too. God. How I miss her after such a long year. She used to babysit me when I was a toddler and she is incredibly the sweetest but authoritarian grandmother ever. We broke our greetings when two-person came and welcomed us too.
“Welcome Alpha Liahm,” Mr. Mcflow announced.
“Oh, Dear! This Mr. Eric Mcflow together with his beautiful mate Ms. Ana.” We exchanged shake hands and introduce each other as well as my team. He seemed to be a respectable and approachable man. Thereafter, he guided us inside the mansion.
Later on, as we settled inside, two-woman arrived and greeted us too.
“My greetings Arkasia, It’s been a long time” Alice greeted with eagerness for Arkasia.
“Oh, Alice! I didn’t expect to see you here!----ohm---" Arkasia embraced her back. I didn’t know them yet but I know my grandmother seemed to know them better according to how comfortable and close they greeted each other.
“I heard about your mission. I’m willing to help as far as I can, I know how devastated you are feeling because of what happened”, Arkasia uttered while setting down.
“By the way, this is my grandson, Liahm, the crowned prince.” My grandmother explained as she pointed me to meet them.
“OH I see! --- Liahm! ----So you are Liahm----,” Alice uttered as she studied me.
“Also this is his best friend Zack, Alpha of Silver Blood Moon, and this is Wengs, his Gamma” We shake hands with Alice but I can sense the discomfort in her gaze and a little bit of disgust the way she eyed me.
“Is there something wrong?” I suddenly asked when I got puzzled by her gaze.
“Ohhh—No—No –Hi---- Hi—too” As she diverted her attention towards Zack and Wengs.
“By the way, this is Jandy, one of our Guardian-Warrior”
“Hi” Jandy replied.
“As you can see, we have just started to trace my sister Diamond. She’s been working with the rouges at the south and they are getting bigger and bigger day by day.” Alice explained.
“Wait, sister---What do you mean?” I got confused with her statement.
“OH---- Liahm--- I bet your father failed to explain it to you clearly, ----- Yes! She is her sister--- They are also tracing Diamond to bring her back in the Dark Forest” Confusion lingered in my system when I heard it. My blood started to boil after hearing the name of Diamond.
“What? I don’t understand” Discomfort and heavy breathing ensued.
“Calm down, Listen”
“What the f**k? I can't believe I am talking to them like her sister is the reason why all these things happen--- I don’t understand---- Why are we talking with them” I yelled as I walked outside the lobby. My wolf wanted to shift and my brain wanted to explode in anger. Arkasia followed.
“Liahm--- Stop! --- I said stop---- Calm down—It’s either pull yourself together or get lost--- just go back to the castle if you can’t listen to us” Arkasia yelled, I stopped and confronted her. I know she was so disappointed in my behavior but I can’t help how my wolf wanted to overtake me.
“Okay! Yes---- Alice is the sister of Diamond--- They are also looking for her because they knew that Diamond is no longer in control of her power and they need to bring her back to the Dark Forest to save her---- that’s their mission and you need to respect that---- The Guardians of the Light will assist us in finding Morgana to find a cure for your sister --- in exchange for that Liahm”
“What if I don’t ask for their assistance?”
“For moon sake Liahm, you know very well that the Guardians of the Light is the only key to enter Dark Forest especially the Land of Tears with safety--- are you kidding me?” Arkasia explained with displeasure in me.
“Look---- I did not expect you to act this way --- I explained everything to your father----Alice is a good friend of mine, I know her with all my heart--- The only reason why they agreed to help us was to make sure to bring her sister at the Dark Forest”
“What the f**k! I swear to god—if I ever see that f*****g b***h--- I will kill her right away--- What do you expect me to do with her--?” I expressed with heavy breathing.
“They will be the one to confront Diamond when she attacks the castle--- They knew when she will attack”
“—Son-----never underestimate Diamond--- Crystal Clan is the only one who can stop her”.
Realization knocked me and I know I was being childish but it's all about the outrage because of my sister. I wiped my face with my hands and made a big sigh.
“Okay! ----- I am sorry grandma--- I got angry and I’m just headless with that. I can’t process everything in my head right now—I’m sorry”.
MADNESS. HATE. DISGUST.
As we went on with our meeting, dinner was served and Zack went outside to get some fresh air and perhaps roam the area, I noticed how he kept sniffing the air.
“Hey! What are you doing?” I asked while checking my mobile phone.
“This is weird, I feel like my mate was here I can sense her scent”
“Ohm--- I thought I’m the only one who thought about that--- you’re right I can smell my mate too but it’s weird—There’s no way they could be here” We giggled at the notion of that.
After our dinner, we continued our meeting with the planning. Yeah! I admit It’s going to be a tough journey for us after the realization streamed out but I know we can handily penetrate with the help of the Guardian of the Light warriors.
Challenging.
“Who will assist us in the Dark Forest?” I asked.
“OH! Guardian of the Light warriors, they are the strongest warrior of Crystal Clan, they are usually known as the slayer of an evil witch's Hunters.”
“I see--- They must have been something”
“They are the only one who can easily come and go in the Deepest Dark Forest --- unharmed, it’s like their playground” Arkasia explained’
“Oh--- c’mon” Jandy Chucked as she sipped her wine while settling back in her seat after going to the comfort room.
“Ohhh Liahm--- Be careful—you’re talking to them”
"Who?" Zack suddenly asked after we shoot some query look at them.
“Jandy and Ana”
“OH, I see”
“There will be five of them who will assist you from the main portal up to the castle--- Jandy, Ana, and Eric will guide you to enter Dark Forest, you will meet the two of them at the Dark Forest. Alice explained.
“When you reached the gate of the Land of Tears, It is Jewel who will assist in getting inside."
"Why?" Wengs asked.
"Because she is the only one who can enter the Land of tears untouched.” Alice continued.
“J E W E L…” I unconsciously repeated the name in a whisper. a
“Why only her?” I asked.
“Because she is JEWEL---the most beautiful, sexy, gorgeous, and gifted woman that every man would have to ask for to a mate" Jandy answered in mockery.
“She's one of a kind--- extra organ any creature that every man would have dreamed of” Ana added and together with Jandy, they giggled and thrown me a disgusting look.
“Enough" Alice glared at them and continued "She's powerful among of us, no one has ever get out of the Land of Tears untouched except her--- That’s why whoever will enter the Land of Tears must listen to her guidance very well because, for your information, not all of you could enter---- it must only be one and Yña --- I mean Jewel of course.” I cleared my throat as I got startled when I heard the word Yña, but I seemed to mishear so I ignored it and asked.
“You mean to say only one could talk to Morgana?"
“Yes! Only one---- Land of Tears is an extremely dangerous place, its hellfire in the Dark Forest and only SOULS could enter—Never would a living creature could enter --- of course except for Jewel-- for- She’s one of a kind” Alice explained further.
