Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 42

While an unforgettable night is taking place in the mansion of Alpha Connor at the Dark Moon pack, brewing chaos is also taking place near the castle of King Lucio.

In a dark forest near the castle of King Lucio, a dangerous trap laid out for Magnus by one of the Generals of King Lucio, Caleb. He stands right behind a tree, covering his scent with some deceptive potion. One of his targets is now on sight.

"Time to take you down." Whispered by Caleb.

"Magnus!"

The King of all Alpha Werewolves has threatened the life of the mate of Caleb.

In exchange for the life of his mate, he must take out either King Lucio or Magnus as a ransom for the life of his mate. It was even revealed to him by Mira, the cherry-haired resident witch of King Remus, that the mate of Caleb is carrying the child of Caleb. This was something that even fuels the desire of Caleb to fulfill the condition given by King Remus in exchange for his mate and future child.

Magnus is in his human form walking along the woods surrounded with huge trees and nothing but the light of the bright moon guides his path towards the way of the castle of King Lucio.

Though, Magnus is not aware that there is something awaiting him. A group of rogue werewolves loyal to Caleb is on stand-by, waiting for Caleb's signal.

It has become known to Caleb due to his observation of Magnus that every time he is near the castle of King Lucio, he walks in his human form on his way back.

Once Magnus arrives at a certain area where Caleb laid the trap for him, a sudden shot of poisonous sharp blades will be thrown in Magnus' direction. Caleb expects Magnus to successfully evade his first attempts due to his sharp senses. Then, batches of continuous shooting arrows will be at a place that will be triggered.

With Magnus speed and reflexes, Caleb expects him to even survive this but since Magnus will be focused on avoiding every blade and arrows shooting on his way, he will not be aware of the rogue werewolves that will lunge at him altogether. This will force Magnus to use his special ability.

"Bombardom!"

An ability to explode everything that surrounds him. This is a dangerous ability that can even harm his allies or even himself if he is not careful with it.

Even this knowledge about the special ability of Magnus is known to Caleb which he wants to utilize in his favor.

That is why Caleb scattered odorless explosive powder around the ground of the spot where the rogue werewolves planned to lunge at him. This part of the trap was not disclosed to the other rogue werewolves.

As soon as Magnus arrived at the marked spot of Caleb, the trap was activated.

"What the f**k!" Surprised remark by Magnus.

Indeed Magnus was quick to his feet and had quick reflexes. Caleb was right with his observation regarding Magnus. At the signal of Caleb, rogue werewolves came out to take out Magnus in their wolf form. There were more than a dozen rogue werewolves for Magnus to handle.

When he was about to use his ability, a woman in very bright white armor suddenly appeared and released enchanting spores around Magnus while she created an invisible force field covering him.

Being protected from the enchanting spores that turn each rogue werewolf into sleep.

Then Magnus wondered what was happening around him and realized that it was the woman in a very bright white armor who is responsible for knocking out each rogue werewolf that was supposed to be on their way to lunge at him. "Who are you? Why did you help me? Your help was unnecessary." Said loudly by Magnus.

"I am Montana! Queen of all Fairies! And my help was definitely necessary." Replied by Queen Montana.

"I could have handled it myself. I was about to use a powerful ability of mine. You just interfered with my execution." Bluntly pointed out by Magnus.

Queen Montana chuckled and replied to Magnus.

"Well, if it were not for me, you would have blown up your enemies, along with you! There are scattered odorless explosive powder around the ground. You would have certainly blown up into pieces given that you intended to release a powerful explosion. Am I right?"

Quickly, Magnus checked the ground and found out that the ground is indeed covered with explosive powder. He looked around and realized that he fell into a trap.

It was a carefully planned and calculated attempt on his life. Magnus pondered on who would do this but the thought of why he was saved and the curiosity of the sudden appearance of the Queen of Fairies took over.

"Why you help me? I heard that fairies are not so fond of rogue werewolves. Especially you are a member of the Altum Council, the council that just announced their support to King Remus." Curiously asked by Magnus.

"Hmm... I do not know if you are aware that I have not been attending the meetings with the Altum Council especially after the death of a dear friend of mine, Queen Katherine. I do not think I can still be considered as a member of the Altum Council at this point in time."

"So, you are a friend of the late Queen Katherine. Though it is interesting, it does not answer my question. Why do you help a rogue werewolf?"

"Let us say that a friend of mine sent me a scroll and only a Queen of fairies could decipher such a scroll due to my ancient ability to unlock any ancient transcripts."

Ancient transcripts have hidden messages. Interpreting through its text will not be enough since there could be a deeper and hidden message through it. The unique ability of the Queen of fairies is needed for a complete deciphering from an ancient transcript. "And what does it says?" Query by Magnus towards Queen Montana.

"An interesting information about a survivor of Blood Rose Pack which may lead us to the missing new Chosen One and it has certainly been anticipated by many!" A quick reply from Queen Montana.

There was an intense silence between the two.

Queen Montana and Magnus exchanged a serious look towards each other.

What Queen Montana just mentioned was immediately understood by Magnus that Queen Montana is aware of his true identity. No one knows about his true identity as the survivor and living son off the deceased Alpha Blood Rose Pack. Even King Lucio has no idea about the true identity of Magnus which he has kept from everyone for a long time.

"You don't have to worry about me, oh Magnus! Worry about the one who has a cruel intention of taking your life." Queen Montana reminds Magnus who is clearly in deep thought of plotting his next move.

Queen Montana immediately stretched her arm towards the direction of Caleb who is clearly still hiding from the distance behind a huge tree.

A large root of tree constricted around the body of Caleb and brought him close to Queen Montana.

Queen Montana touches Caleb's forehead and uses the Lagilimens ability. The ability to see someone's memories. It can only be activated with a question and a physical touch on the forehead.

"Now, Caleb is it? You see, I have the ability to find out things that I want to know. Like one touch of you will allow me to see what I want to see in your memories. One question and your mind will be like a crystal ball that will show me what I am looking for. Like why do you want Magnus dead? Since you prepared such entrapment for him."

While the attention of Queen Montana is on Caleb, Magnus on the other hand has decided on something.

There is something he needs to keep hidden and unknown to the world. This was something that Magnus wanted to be buried forever.

Thus, as Magnus looked at Queen Montana, a cruel intention formed into his mind.

An intent which has turned into murderous intent where he will have to eliminate the one who saved him.

Unaware of the forming threat ahead of her, Queen Montana kept her attention towards Caleb who failed in taking out Magnus.

"Look like your mate is in the hands of someone vicious? Indeed it is an unfortunate thing to happen but what you expect when you have risked her safety in the first place." Said by Queen Montana towards the restrained Caleb.

"You do not know how it feels like to be in our position, Queen of Fairies! You are sitting in your high place and have no right to lecture me about what is right for my mate. We are doing this because we only wanted justice from King Remus' tyranny." Retort form Caleb.

Before Queen Montana could reply, she felt the incoming assault of Magnus who was approaching with the full force of his strength.

Fortunately, Queen Montana was able to evade all attacks of Magnus.

The Queen of Fairies, immediately commanded the large roots restraining Caleb to restrain him to the nearest largest tree and casted. "Dreaminus!" An enchanting ability that turns anyone to sleep.

Caleb fell asleep while being restrained in a huge tree. So that Queen Montana could defend herself properly against Magnus.
