The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate - 429 The Fight

Eloise pursed her lips. She didn’t like Leland’s reasoning.

“No. I belong in Armeria,” said Eloise stubbornly. “And my child is the rightful heir of the pack and the throne. You promised to help me.”

“I only promised that I will not be your enemy even if someday we will be on opposing sides,” said Leland firmly. “I don’t care about your wants and plans, and I don’t want to be involved.”

“Why don’t you want to help me? Is it because this child is not yours? But what about Jan and Luciel? They are not your children either. If you can take care of them why can’t you take care of this child?” Eloise stepped forward and looked at Leland with fire in her eyes. She was seriously offended.

The witch added, “You can accept the boys and take care of them too even when they were actually children of your ENEMY. You were not obligated to take them under your wing, but you did anyway… Please compare it to my child. He has lost his father because YOU KILLED HIM! It’s your responsibility…!”

Leland’s brows dipped. He wanted to grip Eloise’s throat and choke her for her impudence, but he held back. He remembered she made him swear not to kill her. She surely knew that he would be agitated enough to do it.

“Whatever, Eloise.” Leland stepped back. He gritted his teeth and turned around to avoid Eloise. His decision would not change.

“Do you want to break your oath?” Eloise asked him coldly.

“I never swore that I would look after your children.” Leland wanted to finish his work quickly so he could get back to Sophie.

Eloise suddenly chuckled.

“It’s really hard to make you submit,” she said with a hoarse voice. “Don’t blame me for doing it the hard way.”

Eloise took out a magic item from inside her robe pocket. Suddenly, Leland had a bad feeling. He turned around and saw Eloise standing firmly behind him with a small blue object in her hand. Leland still remembered what Eloise told him about her soul stone.

He stared at the object very closely, wondering in his mind what would Eloise do with it.

“Do you want to lock my soul in there to make me submit?” He narrowed his eyes and asked Eloise coldly.

“Actually I wanted to do it but it was very difficult, so I chose another path that was easier.” Eloise laughed again, at this point, Leland’s heart became very uneasy. What did Eloise do?

He looked at Eloise who had started to show her true face.

“What do you mean…” He asked coldly. “By the easy way?”

“I’ve trapped the souls of your two true children in this thing,” said Eloise, making Leland very surprised.

Eloise smirked then continued. “I stole their souls while disguised as Katherine and kept them here, if you keep refusing me, I will hurt this soul stone and make the weak babies sick, I can destroy it too and when you come home you will find your children dead.”

She smiled sweetly, but her eyes were filled with so much evil. “If I can’t have my child alive and well, so can’t you.”ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Ahh… this was gold! Leland usually didn’t show much expression and it was difficult to get a reaction from him. However, Eloise knew that his family would always get him to react.

She praised herself for her wit. She initially wanted to get close to Leland in a subtle way. She thought, he just needed to open the door and gave her a chance to be back in his life.  Surely, he would be able to compare how much better she was than Sophie.

Back to being friends was a good plan, or so she thought. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Leland didn’t care about her and their friendship. He only said yes to her request to be friends again because he wanted to find Anne’s and Jack’s grave.

“AARGHH!!!”

Eloise was startled when Leland suddenly transformed into a lycan and was about to pounce on her.

Luckily, she was able to dodge in time by shifting to the left. The witch then darted out of the hut and Leland chased after her.

When their distance was close, Leland raised his hand, intending to strike his claws at Eloise but once again Eloise managed to dodge in time by shifting to the left. Leland’s claws hit a tree and it fell. This was repeated three times.

Even though she was a woman, Eloise was not weak. She was a powerful witch and had mastered some skills to protect herself in situations like this.

The atmosphere of the forest which was previously very quiet suddenly became very noisy. The birds flew out of the forest to save themselves.

Eloise jumped back and attacked the huge white wolf with fire magic but Leland jumped and avoided the fireballs that shot in an arc pattern.

The fire burned the trees and shrubs quickly, making the area instantly filled with smoke. The animals that were there were running to save their lives.

Those who couldn’t run fast could only resign themselves to letting themselves burn.

Eloise shot a fireball at Leland who was running while swerving to avoid the fireball.

Eloise jumped back again while continuing to launch attacks and kept her distance because she felt she would never be able to fight Leland in close combat.

“Huh?” Eloise was shocked when she saw three straight white beams rapidly rushing through the smoke towards her and…

CRAACKK!!

The beam instantly shattered the tree trunk behind her the instant she slammed her body to the side. Eloise gulped when she saw the light still streaking and destroying everything in its path like a crazy slashing machine.

It was Leland’s power that gave her goosebumps. If she was too late to dodge, even for a second, her body would shatter into pieces.
