*****
 Inside the palace big lavish living room that is well lit with lambs and glowing stones. The royal guest all sat on couches as servants serve them cool drinks to calm their nerves.
 Safia, Anthony and the king entered and immediately susan and Adi ran to her, susan spoke *what were you thinking rushing out towards danger like that!? even I'm not that brave* Adi added *I almost fainted, i really thought that werewolf has scratched your face off!* safia reply *I..I wasn't thinking at all, I followed instincts....I'm sorry for worrying you*
 Susan and Adi nodded then guide safia to sit next to them on the couch. King Travis spoke *sir Anthony....today you've proved yourself, you saved my reputation and my kingdoms honor, I sincerely thank you*
 Anthony reply *please your majesty don't embarrass me by thanking me, I simply did what every true citizen of black moon would*
 King Travis smiles and spoke *you will make a great successor Anthony, I shall give you and my daughter, my blessings.* Anthony bows deeply and thanked *thank you your majesty*  then the king look towards safia, before he could scold her safia beat him to it.
Standing up straight she cutesy as she spoke *i shouldn't have ran out there the way I did, it was very dangerous and I carelessly put my kingdom in danger, I am sorry your majesty, please forgive me* looking at Anthony she thanked *sir Anthony, you saved my kingdom from shame today, I offer you my deepest appreciation and gratitude*
 Anthony nod with a smile while king Travis spoke *good, you haven't forgotten your manners* he then ordered a servant *escort prince Liam here immediately* the servant bow and left to do so.
 Not a moment later prince liam stepped in, he bow as he spoke *yes your majesty, you called for me..* king Travis smirk *so you've got manners again, after you almost doomed my kingdom you dare stand before me and act like nothing happened* liam defended *I was just trying to help your majesty*
 King Travis spoke *help...I don't need your help neither do I want you here in my kingdom ever again, pack your things and leave my kingdom this instant* looking surprise Liam exclaim *what are saying your majesty i can't leave now, it Is dark already and what if the werewolves come back.......what would the people think of your hospitality*
 King Travis chuckle and reply with sarcasm *my hospitality has never been better, and if the werewolf come again then you handle them, let's see you save yourself first* liam huff and reply *fine....keep your kingdom to yourself* he head back to his chambers shouting at the servants to hurry up.
 Anthony spoke *your majesty, I shall go after him and make sure he leaves* the king nods and Anthony followed after liam. Turning to the royal guest king Travis spoke *I'm sure most of you have seen your own share of danger and embarrassment at your own kingdoms, but it is still unfortunate you had to witness mine, I sincerely apologize for the rocky situation I got you in and I offer my deepest appreciation for attending my daughters ball.
And I must say, the ball has officially come to an end, it would be my honor if you could stay for the engagement ceremony* 
  prince Alexander spoke up *thank you your majesty, as much as we'd like to stay longer in this beautiful kingdom, we need to return back home to carry out our awaiting responsibilities*
 The other young royals agreed with prince Alexanders words, they decided to leave early morning, king Travis then bid them goodnight.
 Now left with only the young royals, safia spoke *I will miss you guys so much, I'm sure your kingdoms are as great as you are, thank you for coming here* 
prince habib starts *as much as I wanted to show you the desert power i have to leave you behind, I like my stay here, but like prince Alex said, we all have responsibilities to go back to, and I would get really furious if another werewolf dare to ride sandy again*
 Safia reply *of course my prince, and I am sorry the werewolf took a forbidden ride on ...sandy* prince Habib nods with a smile, satisfied she understood sandy the sand worm is forbidden to anyone but him, bidding them goodnight he walks away to his chambers.
 Prince Alex spoke next *princess safia, you truly are kind and understanding, you are the main reason black moon kingdom is special among  all the other kingdoms, i wish you a happy life ahead* safia thanked him then he too bid them goodnight and retire to his chambers.
 Prince adidaya took another glass of cold drink ready to down it but safia quickly snatch the drink from his hand, sitting next to him she spoke *Adi dear, I understand what you're going through, what happened out there was terrifying, but look at us now, we are all safe and sound. Adi life is unexpected and that is exactly why we have to be brave, even if we are not brave we pretend to be, that way we can maintain our stand.
Adi you're still very young so you've got a lot more to experience, just follow your heart... okay* Adi nods as he took in a shaky breath, then spoke *yes...you're right, from now on I will be brave and follow my heart, safia you're like the sister I've always wanted, I'll miss you*
Pinching his cheeks a little safia spoke *and I'm going to miss my adorable Adi too, my little brother* calmed now, adidaya bid the two girls good night and rush to his chambers.
 Susan scooted closer to safia and spoke *prince Liam and sir Anthony, that handsome white werewolf and the sudden engagement declaration, you'll get through it all just fine, safia we are all stronger than we think, its just a matter of determination and faith in oneself*
Safia nodded as susan adds *and don't forget, I'm only a message away, don't hesitate, okay sister *safia answer *okay sister....thank you so much susan, I'm gonna miss you...* susan spoke *I'll miss you too safia...and I will also miss blackmoons triple chocolate cake and flower brownies*.
                                                                                                            
__Anthony
 Inside prince Liam's chamber servants are busy packing all the prince belongings and loading then onto boxes to be carried outside to his carriage, standing and looking over at the kingdom below through the opened window, liam spoke as he carased his cheek *did you had to slap me that hard, hitting me wasn't even part of the plan you were supposed to shout enough*
 Anthony reply *you were overacting, most of the words you said weren't part of the plan either, so as shooting the werewolves, what were you thinking shooting their leader like that*
 
Liam answer *I didn't want to shoot any of them, I aimed at the floor next to the kids leg but princess safia grabbed my hand and caused the bullet to hit the wrong target*
Nodding Anthony spoke *well then, at last our plan succeeded, I'll engage the princess officially and get rid of the king, then the werewolves will be yours to handle* 
liam sigh and spoke *I can't believe he threw me out at night....but I did kinda deserve it after almost causing an unwanted war for him, but are you sure the werewolves won't ambush me*
 Anthony spoke *they won't when they're busy tending to their leader, and also the dead werewolf kid, I packed it for you* liam smiles and spoke *alright then, I better get going before anyone finds him, see you later partner * liam exist the palace and board his carriage which hit the road to iron city.
          
     
__king Travis
Bang! King Travis bang his fist hard on the table, he's in his office venting his anger on the furnitures.
He shouted *how dare they speak to me like that! They have forgotten what i did to them, what my weapons did to them!! But soon they all will remember! Its a matter of time now before they're ready again...... after all its been long. They missed the battle field....*
__hunter
 Clink!, the bullet landed on the silver tray and hunter was finally able to shift back to his human form, the wond appeared on his shoulder and has already started healing on its own, the werewolf doctor took the tray and safia's dress peace when hunter called  
 *don't throw that away doc, I want it* a little confused the doctor hands hunter the bloody peace of cloth and walk out. While hunter handed it to one of the werewolf and ask *can you clean this for me please* he took the thing and went to clean it, like the alpha asked.
 They are back at the mountain home and currently seated in Malik's house. Uncle malik who has been silent ever since they came back finally decided to ask *why do you want to keep the princess peace of cloth with you hunter?* 
hunter sighs and was about to reply when cas stepped into the room, all freshen up and well fed, he answers the question aimed at his brother
*because I think she's the safia he's been meeting* malik let out *cas...this isn't funny* cas was about to say more when hunter shot him a look and he quickly sat at the corner like a good boy, hunter assured *he's right....she told me she's the princess maid I never thought she could be the princess...I thought ...*
 After several moments malik finally spoke *I'm sorry...I knew there was something off about her and look, she betrayed you....* Hunter shook his head and spoke 
*no uncle, i lied to her too, I hide the fact that I'm a werewolf of fear she might hate me, and it seems like she thought the same, that if i know she's the princess I'll run away, but she wanted to be just safia with me, like I am just hunter with her*
                                      
     malik spoke *well looks like now she's tired and done with being just safia.....look son, I love you and I don't want anything that will hurt you, and this girl is trouble...but since you really love her, I'll stand by you and support you through all this, maybe you're right, since it looks like she can be quite caring *
      hunter spoke *thank you dad, I think ....she figured it out already, that I'm not who I say I am..I just....I just hope she forgives me ...and talk to me again* then he turn to cas and spoke *and YOU, what the hell were you thinking sneaking into the kingdom like that?!*
Malik added  *and what the king wrote in the message, was it true?*
 Cas started *I'm sorry I...wait what did the king wrote?* taking the scroll hunter threw it to cas which he smoothly caught, he read it then defended 
*what!, non of this is true, I did not burn down any stage, its that man, the solider that engaged the princess, he kept following us and in trying to escape we fell and caused another boy to fall, the boys candle started the fire, Vivian was stuck and nobody could get to her fast enough except me, but then one of the soldiers...
...he killed jasper who was just trying to protect me, he stab him right in front of me And...and they locked me up in a cage and threw me in the dungeon, they also took jasper away....I'm sorry I just wanted to talk to the princess and now......jasper is gone because of me....*
And he burst into tears, hunter and malik quickly scooted closer and hug him, malik spoke in a gentle tune *its alright cas its alright, don't cry its not your fault, we understand you were just trying to contribute something too, and you did, you entered the kingdom, talk to the princess, even entered the palace dongoen and made it out alive, safe and sound,...and jasper...he died a hero my child, he died a hero.
 Now listen, you are brave and I love that, but do you know how you can contribute? "Cas shook his head no" by staying safe, when hunter gets old It'd be your responsibility to take care of the werewolves, I can't lead them then I'll be far too old.
 Hunter is the prince that goes into danger while I protect his back, and you my dear, is the prince that stay safe so I don't worry when I'm in the battle field, you're already a great fighter yourself but you need to grow up more and learn more, then you'll also become the prince that goes into danger like hunter and i will cover and protect both of you're backs, but for now, you stay safe and learn more*
 Cas nod and wiped his tears, then hunter ask *alright now..tell us the other reason you went there, I feel like you hide something* cas sighs and reply *I was hoping for the impossible, I believed that the king is hiding mom and dad somewhere inside the kingdom, like the palace dungeon*
 Taking a deep breath hunter reply *I'm sorry cas but...mom and dad are gone, the king is not hiding them...* cas whispers *I know...but I miss them still...* Hunter agrees *I miss them too cas, they might be gone physically but they will forever remain alive in our hearts*
 Malik patted both their heads as hunter added *when you miss them so much, like in days like this, just look up at the moon and say whatever you want to say to them, the moon will give them the massage* cas perk up and ask *really? Will they reply to me? Have you tried it?*
Hunter answer *no i have not and they won't reply, but when you talk to the moon, you can feel their presence around you strongly...I think* cas chuckle and spoke *yes yes okay, let's assume half of what you told me is real, I will try it as a form of meditation, but I will not talk to the moon* Hunter ruffle his hair playfully.
 Cas spoke *hunter....princess safia loves you, don't get mad at her okay, she wishes only good for us* hunter ask *how did you know that?* cas reply proudly *I saw it in her actions, when I was thrown into the dungeon she came and sat with me, she gave me food and a blanket and even offered to get me medicine, she's a nice person..*
Hunter nodded and reply *I am not mad at her ...thank you cas* cas nodded then hup down the couch and spoke *it has been a long day for me, goodnight* and he left to his room, leaving malik and hunter.
 Hunter whispers *uncle do you think...safia will be afraid of me now....because I'm not human...* malik assured *no I don't think so, she doesn't seem to fear us....i know you want to go to her now but...i suggest you don't, you can go tomorrow but today its too dangerous*
 Hunter nods greatfully at malik with a whole hearted smile.
