Veira Point of View

Staying under Elias vigilance is like taking a flower bath; only, there is raging fire under the bathtub.

It is a situation where you cannot relax nor can you afford to be anxious. With the speed that pest is going on making allies to support him, one can say he already has one butt on the throne he wanted to sit on so desperately.

"You look disturbed, fire. Don't tell me your flames are getting extinguished." If eyes have the power to prick millions of needles into the skin so painfully that will not make them die but suffer enormously, I want that superpower.

'Aiyah, you don't have to go to that extent, why don't you make him smell his own socks? He will die there itself.'

'That will be too easy; I want him to suffer before he dies.'

I gave him a disgusted look that I'm surprised that I can put so much disgust in one gaze. Giving him a once over I scoffed looking at his sorry face.

"I will not put off the flames until they burn you to ashes." With a saccharine smile and a glare I told him to piss off. "And you too." This is directed to Elder Cazacu who is standing beside Elias like a guard on duty.

"Even my ashes will want to find their Nirvana with you." What is this? A C-grade drama series?

I don't believe Dea for emptying her stomach and dry heaving inside my mind. I can totally feel her. By the grace of Goddess's blessings on me, I'm still alive after hearing that crap.

'Before his ashes starts to fly around us to find its Nirvana, I say, let me send them to the real paradise that they deserve.'

'Sewer?'

'I will not insult our country's drainage system ever.'

'Puddle of poop?'

'I will never use something as sacred as waste excretion to purify his ashes.'

'Don't tell me you are going to feed his ashes to Corona virus!'

'To make it even stronger by adding another cousin to it? Not at all.'

'I give up! Tell me what it is.'

"-will be done in a week." I heard when Dea was ready to answer me. Hearing a firm confirmation from Elder Cazacu, I directed my attention to their conversation as I started to tap my fingers on my lap.

What will be done in a week?

"Just a couple of trials more and we are ready to go." Ah, the human controlling drug.

Elias nodded his head with an arrogant smile showcasing his greedy teeth. I looked at Elder Cazacu only to find him give me his usual cold intimidating gaze.

The last we had a conversation about the possible plot he is staging, although he did not confirm it, he did not refuse my statements either. He just started avoiding me.

I know he is just acting to be on the same side with Elias but keeping me away from all the information is what irked me.

What is he protecting me from?

He just came into my life few months ago, what makes him think I need his protection?

I've lived my whole life protecting myself and I did a fair job with it. Although, I felt happy to finally feel the sense of genuine protection I never felt before; I'm not used to it.

I don't need it.

"Trials?" Elias snickered evilly. "Try them on available omegas and test it. They are not worth the keep anyway."

How did such a good pair of previous King and Queen of werewolves give birth to a wild pig in hyena clothing?

"Are you –" Cazacu cleared his throat and spared a fleeting glance at me before continuing. "- going to discuss politics in front of her?"

"Why not? One, she will not be able to escape from here and even if she did; two, she cannot do anything alone. Even if she wants to gather people against me, who will believe her? After all, all those packs I got into my court, under me, is done by rogue attacks. I am still the foolish and a weak King of werewolves who defies the Elders of royal packs every other day."

Hail to Majesty Elias for being the fool of not just the century but the most foolish man ever since the planet is made.

"You have my respect." I bowed a little. Any right person will understand that I was being sarcastic, mocking him.

But Elias is just so – Elias!

"So, what happens if you fail to control human population with the drug and instead get exposed badly?" Accurate prediction of the future is one of my fortes.

It's not a superpower though! I'm like a Warren Buffet in werewolves, well known for my instincts and data analysis.

"That will never happen." Elias suddenly growled loudly when he heard the word 'fail'.

"'Prepare for the worst', ever heard of it?" The psychopath in him is awoken by my words.

"That quote suits for a loser, not me." He said in a growling tone.

'Does that make him worse than a loser?'

Leave it to my wolf to give summarizing comment!

"Whatever makes you constipated?" I shrugged and left the room, leaving them to enjoy their discussion.

Walking back to the room I'm staying in, I immediately took out my diary and wrote down pointers of what I know in it.

Reading everything I've been writing all the while, I realized few key points in it. One of them and the most important one is, Elias is still the reigning ruler of werewolves.

The root cause of all the problems and the shield that is protecting him is his highest position.

'You mean to say, our mate can end Elias's life easily with a simple medicine if Elias isn't a King?'

'Exactly! Killing a reigning ruler will cost him and the humans the wrath of werewolves.'

'But Elias is evil and even the elders of the royal pack knows about it.'

'Indeed but they have no proofs. As long as Elias is not caught red handed in the act, no one can do anything to him.'

'Why do you think Elias is using rogues to get his work done? The accounts of the pack activities, no matter how secretive they are, can be found out. Rogues are different. They are not bound to any rules nor linked to any closed community. Manipulating them and getting rid of those who are against Elias is a safe option as long as he can cover it up well.'

'Isn't he already a King? Why is he aiming for more than he can hold?'

'A king who couldn't gain the trust of his people. His opinion on humans being inferior to him added to his hunger of being the dictator.'

No, this will tough for Elder Cazacu to eliminate Elias. No matter how strong Cazacu and his companion are, as long as Elias holds the title of a King, he is almost invincible.

To end the whole fiasco, ending Elias in a most harmless way is the right solution. A way where his title cannot cause chaos and create a war.

The rhythm of my fingers tapping the table got faster as thoughts started to invade me like flies.

What to do?

What to do?

That night I couldn't sleep until I made a plan that might seem dangerous but worth to give a shot. The next morning I woke up in a better mood than previous day.

Getting my daily routine done, I went down to have my breakfast with a smile playing on my lips. Breakfast time was quite as I ate all by myself and once done, I walked towards the place that has many security walls which cannot stop me.

No matter how many times he change the passcodes, I can still get in easily. I'm a tech geek for a reason!

Punching in the passcode, the door opened, allowing me to walk inside the lab where Elder Cazacu stopped what he was doing as he passed me an exasperated frown.

"This is the eighth time you cracked the code and came inside. Tell me what made you parade here, albeit with a smile?" He sounds tired and annoyed.

"I have news for you."

"There is a news I don't know?" He said posing proudly. I have to agree, if there is anyone who knows almost everything about the current situation, then it is him.

Almost! Not everything!

"There is." He narrowed his eyes at me as his frown deepened.

"What did you do, Veira?"

"Me? Nothing. What can a hostage of my stand can do?"

"I'm not ready to take puzzles for breakfast, Veira. What is it?" Holding his tie, I pulled him towards me.

My energetic eyes clashed against his tired-nearly-blind ones. Well, he deserves it for doing everything alone and fooling me big time.

Just because he did it for my good doesn't mean I'm not hurt. Just, I know my priorities well.

One day, he will have his share of grievances specially made and packed by me. Until then, staying alive and kicking is important for both of us.

"I –"

"You"

"Out of battle between black and white, I found gray. Isn't this just exciting?"

"What do you mean?" The satisfaction of seeing him perplexed is a whole new world.

Knowing that there is something he doesn't know and he isn't in control of, it boosted my ego to the sky.

"That is for me to know and you to find out. One friendly reminder though; Go with the flow and do not try to change the sudden course of torrent."

With that, I left him standing there, thoroughly shocked and confused.

It is time I bring in a new map, a new vilian, a new side to the story.
