Have been a couple of days since her attempt to murder Arthur failed, whenever she thought about that, her fists tightened. She wanted to kill him more than anything but to him was funny. He knew all along she was a werewolf but said nothing that could be the reason than playing with her.
She kept thinking of an easy way to kill such a monster. 'What are demons weaknesses?' she asked herself
"You shouldn't be late for the meeting" Larah reminded her

Today was a meeting between counselors and their new chief and the meeting organized by Thomas.
She was ready so she walked outside. Only after the door opened her eyes met with Jared.
Jared seeing Nala's face recalled a chief telling him something.
"What do you mean?" Jared asked his father
"Radella isn't a witch but a werewolf" his father told him.
Since then he has been avoiding her. How could he face her when he always took them as enemies? But now the most important person in his life was actually a werewolf.

After he heard about the meeting he was worried and that was the reason he stood in front of her.
"Are you... okay?" Jared softly asked
Nala stared at him for a moment then she nodded.
They left heading to the meeting. Soon they arrived at the hall and a couple of old men sitting on chairs surrounding a long table.

Nala elegantly seated at her position then she faced them waiting for the agenda.
One of them cleared his throat "Recently were some rumors about you. Everyone says you have a relationship with a demon. We wanted to confirm cause such a thing would be a disgrace to our chief your father and the clan as a whole"
Nala took a deep breath "Is that the only reason you called me here? to ask me about rumors?"
Counselors frowned offended by the way she talked. But Nala added
"Like you said. Were rumors so not true"
"We didn't call you here for only that" said Thomas then he faced the counselors "Days ago I met with wizard Brenda and she told me something important. The king of witches reborn Inside one among of us"
"Wha.. what?" one of the counselors trembled as he asked "What does this mean? Did she find out who might be?"
"She did. And that person she found ... was the princess. No, our new chief"
The counselors' eyes went large as they stared at Nala.
"What do you mean King of witches?" Nala who never heard of such a thing couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle Thomas" Jared was angered by those words "Everyone here knows you never get along with the princess. It is the way to avenge her, you went too far"
"Too far? Should I tell them why I never got along with her?"
Jared furrowed cause his father already told him who knew about Radella's secret. If others would find she was a werewolf, would be a huge problem. Thankful few witches could see through someone's nature.
"You don't have evidence to prove she has a such thing in her" Said Jared
"I wouldn't have said if was like that. If you don't believe me tomorrow I will bring Wizard Brenda to prove to you"
Jared once searched for Brenda and never found her but he never expected Thomas to know where she was all that long. How long Thomas planned to destroy Radella.
After the meeting, Nala returned to the room while Jared and Larah followed behind her. She was confused and frustrated cause what they said at the meeting would hinder her plans.
She turned to those two and hastily asked "Who is the king of witches"
"He was a person born with dark magic. Powerful and dangerous. He couldn't control his mind and those powers turned him evil more than demons. He was the reason for the endless wars between werewolves and witches..."
"And what has to do with me? Do they think I possessed dark magic?"
"We can't be sure till tomorrow"
"How can't you be sure?!" Nala shouted with anger enough for someone to think true was possessed. "Isn't why you are here? To protect me from such things"
Larah didn't expect such reaction. Nala was more worked up than she should. Even Larah had doubts if she knew this girl whole.
Jared walked toward Nala and hugged her to calm her. She was caught off guard but she remained calm cause her mind was in chaos.
"Radella. I will help you get out of here. You were right, this has nothing to do with you. I will deal with everything here, you just have to leave for a while okay"
Jared said that with fear that tomorrow they wouldn't find dark energy but instead her true identity.
Nala with the word to run, pulled herself from his embrace "No! I won't leave unless that bastard died" With determination she said
He was surprised by Nala's goals "Who you want him dead?"
"Demon lord" Larah told him
Jared wasn't that surprised if Radella wanted to murder the demon but he still felt something wasn't right. He watched Nala's expression as he asked himself what wasn't right.
Mid of night Nala was still awake. She wasn't sure what will happen tomorrow, especially fact she didn't know how Radella lived before. So she made up her mind to finish everything today's night.
She thought what Larah taught her enough to fight the demon. She shouldn't keep delaying, time never waited.
She glanced at herself in the mirror watching the beautiful face facing her.
'Whatever will happen. I won't have regrets as long I kill him. I am sorry Radella' telling herself those words she pinned her hair in a ponytail and use a small dagger as a hairpin then two of them she hide on her thigh.
Finishing that she raised from the chair and walked to the exit.
She walked till she reached outside demons mansion then she informed them she came for Arthur.
"He said you can go inside"
Nala's heart skipped a bit. Even when she was in her pack she never entered the demon mansion. Was him who never allowed werewolves to get near the mansion and now so easily he let her in.
But she thought was a good opportunity, so she walked inside following the guard's direction to one of the rooms.
The sounds of her feet' steps echoed as she made it inside the silent room.
After she stepped inside she halted and faced forward where Arthur was busy writing something as he sat on the chair. He acted as if he haven't seen her.
Nala thought if he attacked him and his guards noticed they would try to help him so she walked toward the door and locked it.
