The Abandoned Lycan Queen 31 Chapter 31 Elena's POV I furrowed my brows as I looked at Prince Deacon curiously but he merely tilted his head and gestured at his extended hand.
Shrugging, I accepted his help and stood up. As I dusted my clothes clean, I asked, "What do you mean?" He leaned teasingly forward toand narrowed his eyes. "You didn't think I cto find you just to comfort you, did I?" I cleared my throat, thankful for the darkness hiding the blush on my face. "Of course not." It's the truth, though. I never thought about that, but I forgot that he probably ctofor something.
He tapped my forehead with the back of his finger before he turned around and waved his hand forward. "Con, I'll show you." Pouting, I wrapped my forehead and followed his footsteps until we reached the main camp tent where strategic meetings were held.
As usual, he pulled the door fabric forand letcin first like the very gentleman he was far from benign an egoistic Prince.
"Prince..." "Luna Elena..." Greetings filled the air as soon as we entered. All the high-ranking warriors were inside, including Uncle Harold, who gavea slight bow and a huge smile.

In front of everyone was a massive wooden table with the border map spread across it. Glimpsing at him, I found that the gentleness and glint of ray in his eyes earlier had already vanished and had been replaced with deep determination and seriousness.
He tapped his finger on the map beside the red flag and looked at me. "Elena, you will lead a team in here." I'll lead a team?! I followed his fingers. "It's the border of the Rogues. We're starting the attack?" Prince Deacon nodded his head. "In this mark right here," he placed a stone at the specific area on the entire place covered by the red flags and continued, "is where their food and supplies are. I want you to breach this. Our goal is to cripple them and shake their morale." "I understand. You can count on me." I nodded my head with determination.
I've waited for this opportunity for a long time-a day when I could showcase my skills and be a real warrior like my father and brothers.
I focused on him and visualized every plan he discussed with us. His plan was foolproof, which is why he was called the god of war in the first place. Amazingly, he figured these all out in a short moment.
His eyes shifted to Uncle Harold before he pointed at our border. "We'll also have a few of our warriors pretending 1/2 Chapter 31 to be severely injured. Make sure it's obvious to the lingering enemies to make them think we are vulnerable. That way, sof their resources would be divided as they attack here." Uncle Harold smirked, understanding the plan. "The Rogues would focus on what they thought were our weak link, making them blinded. Luna Elena then could forge through with the ambush undetected." Prince Deacon then let out a confident smirk and gavea look. "And I'll be there attacking to create a diversion for you." Suddenly, he raised his hand and tapped my shoulder. "Stay sharp, Elena. You got this." I smirked back at him. "I know." What, did he think he's the only one with confidence? He let out a small laugh before he dismissed all of us to prepare for the attack.
Prince Deacon letchoose my team to lead. Since we were in for an ambush, I chose those with great agility and combat skills in human and wolf form.
"Are you sure you don't want us to go with you?" Saige asked with worry while I was tying my combat shoes securely.
Standing up, I nodded my head and smiled at her and Maise
I walked a few steps and opened the fabric door before gesturing outside, where everyone was preparing for their acts. Sof the warriors were already lying on the ground with fake blood and injuries, while others were busy preparing their weapons.
"Look, I need you guys to be here and help protect the camp." I turned and atinge faced them again. "Prince Deacon and I would be at the Rogue's camp for the ambush. As much as I know how talented Uncle Harold and the warriors are, I'd feel more assured if you guys were here to aid them." After all, they were warriors of Custodes, and their skills were something to look up to. They're someone I trust.
"It's time." Prince Deacon's voice fanned on my back. I turned at him and nodded my head with determination.

The air becfilled with anticipation as we all went through specific roles. Heightening all my senses,ramy through with my team and led them to the outskirts of the Rogue's camp without hesitation while following Prince Deacon's team. As they prepared to attack, I led my members discreetly to the side and raided the Rogue's supplies. Everything went smoothly, and we perished with everyone who cour way as we grabbed all the rice grains and barrels of weapons.
"Luna Elena, we need to move! We've secured the supplies!" one of my team members uttered, so I raised my hand and motioned for everyone to secure it and return to the base.
But then, as I glanced up toward the main battlefield, my heart skipped.
Prince Deacon, leading his team of warriors in the distance, had been separated from the main unit. And now, a group of Rogue warriors had surrounded him, closing in with raised weapons.
The scene froze before me, and the sounds of clashing metal and shouts blurred around me, I couldn't tear my eyes away. I knew he was skilled, but there was only so much one man could do against such odds.
