Rise of the Fallen Son-in-law Chapter 42
The room went silent as Leo yanked his hand away from Fiona and rose to his feet. He strode across the room, ignoring the looks of shock and anger from the werewolves. The Alpha's eyes flashed with fury, and he stood up to confront Leo. But before he could say a word, Leo had left the room, leaving a trail of chaos and confusion in his wake.Fiona looked mortified, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Markus fanned himself frantically, trying to calm his nerves. While the rest of the room was in a state of shock and confusion, the in-laws were unfazed. They looked at Alpha Dean with a mixture of admiration and hunger, their eyes filled with desire. They saw Leo's outburst as nothing more than a minor inconvenience, and their focus remained on the handsome and powerful Alpha. He was the one they wanted, and they would stop at nothing to get him.As Celeste approached Dean, she felt a sense of entitlement. She was a royal, after all, and she had every right to speak to him.

The next day, the in-laws watched Celeste. They glanced at Leo, the more troubled he was, the more frantic Celeste became and she would have to face Dean somehowLady Blackwood walked up to Leo, who was feeding the robins. As she approached, the birds scattered, fluttering away in a panic.Leo turned to face her, his expression guarded. "Is there something I can help you with?" he asked, his tone cool and polite.Mrs Blackwood's voice was soft and persuasive as she spoke, but her words were like a knife in Leo's heart. "Don't you remember how the werewolves treated the animals?" she said. "They treated them like dirt, and they showed no remorse. How can you trust them?"As she spoke, Leo could feel his anger boiling over. He was reminded of the incident years ago, when the werewolves had shown their true colors. It was a painful memory, and one that he had tried to forget. But now it was fresh in his mind, and he could feel his control slipping away."On whose land?" Mrs Blackwood aske

He knew that his path to healing and peace would require him to focus on himself, rather than on blaming others. He recognized that Celeste was not to blame for his pain, and that he could not force her to change her choices. Instead, he would use his strength and resilience to face his own challenges, and to grow as a person. He would not take this personally, but would see it as an opportunity for self-discovery and growth....."I'm not here to flirt," Celeste said, fixing her eyes on Dean. "I'm here because I have important information. Leo is planning to drive you out of the forest."Dean's eyes widened in alarm. "What? Why would he do that? We've built our homes here, we've established ourselves. We can't just leave."Celeste sighed. "I know it's hard, but the alliance is more important than any personal grudge."When he was still a human, Dean was bullied and tormented for being weak. And in his anger and frustration, he took it out on the animals around him, lashing out in a wa
Rise of the Fallen Son-in-law Chapter 46
Dean's tension was palpable, his thoughts racing as he considered his options. If he took Leo at his word, he risked being betrayed. But if he chose to force the werewolves out, he would be abandoning his people and leaving them vulnerable to attack. It was a difficult decision, one that he couldn't make lightly."I'm not sure I can trust you," he said, his voice low and uncertain. "But I also can't leave my people defenseless."Leo's expression was grave, but there was a glimmer of understanding in his eyes.The mood in the room shifted as Leo spoke. He was acknowledging the difficulties of the situation, but he was also offering a solution. The curse could not be lifted, but that didn't mean that they were powerless to stop the god killers. If they worked together, they could find a way to overcome this challenge.But Dean was still hesitant. "If the curse can't be lifted, then we'll never truly be free," he said, his voice heavy with despair. "We'll always be under its shadow."Leo
Rise of the Fallen Son-in-law Chapter 47
Markus trudged up the familiar path to his home, his steps heavy with weariness. He had hoped that the alliance with the werewolves would be a turning point in the war, but instead it had only brought more grief and uncertainty. And now he had to face the people he loved most, and tell them that the situation was even more dire than before.As he approached the door, his heart sank. It felt like an age since he had seen his mother, and he could only imagine how worried she must be. But he knew he had to be honest with her, no matter how hard it would be."It's good to see you, my son," Nora said, her voice warm but tinged with sadness. "I can't help but worry about you, always off on these dangerous quests. It's hard to sit here and wait, not knowing if you're safe.""I'm sorry to put you through that, Mother," Markus said, his voice heavy with guilt. "I know it must be difficult for you, but I'm doing what I have to do. I promise I'll always come back to you, no matter what."...Dah
Rise of the Fallen Son-in-law Chapter 48
Leo knew he had to tread carefully here. If he defended Dahlia too much, he risked alienating Juniper even more. But if he said nothing, he would be abandoning his friend. It was a delicate balance.The touch of Wyatt's hand was a small but meaningful gesture, one that seemed to ground Dahlia and help her regain her composure. As Leo spoke of the danger that they were facing, Dahlia could see the fear in Juniper's eyes. But it was clear that the goddess was struggling with something. She opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it again, as if she was wrestling with some inner conflict.Finally, she said, "I can't help you."Leo had braced himself for this possibility, but it was still a disappointment. He knew that Wyatt would be more upset than he was, and he prepared to soothe his friend's anger and frustration. Dahlia, on the other hand, was clearly fed up with the goddess's refusal to help. Her frustration was palpable, and it was clear that she felt like they had wasted their

Dahlia shrugged him off, not wanting to show her vulnerability. But despite her efforts to push him away, Wyatt held his ground. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a tight hug.As Wyatt held her in his embrace, Dahlia felt her anger fading away. But it was quickly replaced by annoyance - why did he have to be so sweet and caring? She had been determined to keep her walls up, but he was making it so difficult. She wanted to push him away, but she couldn't deny that his presence was comforting.Finally, she gave in and returned the hug, letting out a long sigh. "I'm fine," she said, her voice sounding more tired than annoyed.A bittersweet smile crossed Dahlia's face as she remembered her father. He had been the one constant in her life, the one person she could always count on. He had been so gentle and caring, always willing to listen and offer comfort. Even though he was no longer with her, she could still feel his presence in the warmth of Wyatt's embrace."My father was a

Chapter 138: The sea god's dilemma
Dorian felt Juniper's frustration mounting as he held her in his arms. She was giving him the cold shoulder, her arms crossed and her expression one of discontent. He knew he'd messed up, and he wasn't sure how to fix it. So he just held her close, hoping that his presence might somehow make things better.But Juniper was having none of it. "Why even bother?" she said, her voice heavy with disappointment. Dorian felt a sinking feeling in his stomach.Dorian's heart sank as he heard Juniper's words. He knew he had made a mistake, and that he had hurt her in some way. He wasn't sure what to do to make it right, so he decided to give her some space. He knew that sometimes the best thing to do was to give someone the space they needed.But as he walked away, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. He wanted to be there for Juniper, to make her feel better. He wanted to be the one who could make her smile, the one who could brighten her day. But it seemed that he had failed in that regar
Chapter 137: A visit from death
Before he could even think about what to do, he heard the pounding of footsteps behind him. He turned around to see a massive, ferocious-looking dragon barreling towards him. It let out a mighty roar, and Carlisle felt the ground shake beneath his feet.Finn was the one who had sold the dragon babies, and he had been motivated by greed. Carlisle, on the other hand, had been scarred by a dragon years ago, and that had shaped his entire life. He was terrified of dragons, and he had devoted himself to keeping them away from people. But now, he was faced with a situation that he couldn't control.The momma dragon let out a deafening roar, and Carlisle could feel the ground tremble beneath his feet. He knew that he had to act fast. But what could he possibly do? He didn't have any weapons, and he was no match for a dragon. All he had was the baby dragon in his hands. It was then that he had an idea. He held the baby dragon out towards the approaching momma dragon, and he began to speak in a
Chapter 136: The mistake
Markus' eyes narrowed, his tone growing more urgent. "But what you've done is much more than a challenge," he said. "You've gone against the very principles of our alliance. We can't have you doing things like this, it could tear us apart!"Finn sighed, his gaze turning distant. "I know it was a risk," he said. "But I couldn't stand by and watch those dragons be harmed. They're just like any other creature, they deserve to be treated with respect and dignity."Markus shook his head. He couldn't argue with that. "You're just making things more complicated. You're looking for an excuse to run off and hide like some hermit!""How dare you say that to me!? After what you've witnessed, you still think I'm trying to run away?""I'm not saying that to insult you," Markus said, his voice growing calmer. "But I have to wonder if you're looking for an escape, rather than a solution. Our alliance was founded on the principle of coexistence, not just hiding away. If we're going to create a better

"...The dragons then were ruthless, not these plush toys"Markus' eyes narrowed, his tone growing more urgent. "But what you've done is much more than a challenge," he said.

Chapter 134: Dragons and chaos
Markus understood Finn's worries, but he remained hopeful. "If we work together, we can show the people that dragons are more than just fearsome creatures. They are intelligent and majestic beings, deserving of our respect and admiration. With time and effort, we can change the way people see dragons, and make the world a better place for all."In his own words, Finn's conditions were as follows: He would agree to help the alliance, and to bring the dragons together under one banner. In return, the alliance would promise to leave him and the dragons alone once the conflict was over, and to allow them to return to their isolated home. They would have no further demands or expectations of him or the dragons.It was a bold request, but Markus and Elliot could see where he was coming from. They needed to find a way to make this work, or risk losing their best chance at victory.Finn's request was understandable, but it presented a challenge for Markus and Elliot. They needed the dragons to

"I'm not here to cause any trouble," he said, his voice wavering slightly. "I just want to talk to you, to explain what happened. Please, just hear me out."Finn looked skeptical, but after a moment's hesitation, he nodded. "Alright, I'll listen," he said, his tone still gruff. "But you'd better make it quick!""Please, Finn, this is important," Elliott pleaded. "Markus needs your help.""And who the blazes are you?" Finn demanded, his tone sharp. "I don't recall inviting you into my home!"Elliott's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "I, um, I know Nora, and I know Markus."Finn gave Elliott a long, appraising look. "So you're a friend of George's, eh?" he said, his eyes narrowing. "That doesn't mean I have to listen to you.""Hmph," Finn grumbled, shifting from foot to foot. "I'm listening, but don't expect me to be swayed by a bunch of sob stories."Elliott took a deep breath, and began to speak. "It's true that George, as you knew him, made some mistakes. But he was a good man, onc

'The story of your father is a sad one,' Nora said, her voice tinged with sorrow. 'He was a brave and kind man, but he was a soldier, and he saw much death and destruction in his life. It changed him, and he began to believe that violence was the only way to solve problems. He became angry and bitter, and he could not see any other way to live.'Markus listened intently, his heart heavy with grief. He knew his father had been a good man once, but the years of war had taken their toll. He wished he could have known his father as a child.She paused, as if considering her next words carefully. 'But he did love me. And I believe he loved you, too. He simply could not see beyond his own ambitions. And in the end, those ambitions destroyed him. He used his friends as pawns, and they in turn betrayed him. Revenge and power consumed him, and he was lost to the darkness.'Nora's eyes were bright with unshed tears. 'But you, my dear, you have a choice. You can choose a different path, a better

"Hey, slow down!" Markus called out to Elliot as he raced toward him. "I'm not going anywhere without you. And I can't have you tripping and falling on your face in your rush to catch up!" He smirked and shook his head.Elliot skidded to a halt and tried to catch his breath. "I heard you were going to look for the dragon tamer. I want to come along!"Markus nodded, already in motion again. "Of course you can come, but you'll have to keep up. And we'll need to be quiet when we find the dragon tamer."Just then, they heard a familiar voice from behind them. "Yoo hoo! Markus?"Markus sighed and turned to see his mother approaching, carrying a pack on her back and her son in her arms. Scales let out a soft purr as they drew near."Mother, thank you for coming with.""You're welcome, my dear," Nora said, her voice gentle. "And you know I could never pass up an adventure like this! Plus, I have some history with the dragon tamer myself. I can't wait to see how he's changed over the years."

The people gathered around her, their eyes full of hope and anticipation. One after another, they asked her questions, their voices growing louder and more desperate with each query."When am I going to get my big break!?""What number combination can I use for the lottery?""Is my job at the market worth it?""Why is my business stagnant?""Your big break will come when you least expect it," Eloise replied calmly, her words soothing the anxious crowd. "But in the meantime, focus on doing your best and giving your customers the best service possible."The crowd listened intently, hanging on her every word. For many of them, Eloise represented their last hope for a better futureAs more and more people came forward, Eloise felt the weight of their problems pressing down on her. It was as if she was caught in a sea of desperation, each person's pleas a drop of water threatening to drown her. But she held her ground, determined to help as many people as she could.But as the crowd swelled
