Cedric was alerted after Ayra's words. Pulling her behind to shield her from any unpredictable danger, he growled lowly,

" Stay behind me."

Ayra wasn't a woman who would hide herself from dangers. She growled back at Cedric, wanted to go ahead and figured out the attackers,

" Let me take the west. You can go for the North."

Cedric refused, keeping his grip firm on her wrist tightly,

" You aren't leaving my sight."

That's it. He wasn't willing to let her face the dangers here alone. Especially when the attackers weren't coming in front light and hid behind the thick layer of fog. Ayra refused freeing her hand from his grip angrily and reasoned at the same time gawking,

" Stop treating me like a child, Cedric. I am not a puppet or human. I am the first hybrid ever born in this worlds. Do you think that I can't handle two or three men?"

Cedric parted his lips to say something but swallowed back once he noticed that she was truly angered. With a frustrated growl, he permitted wandering his eyes around to examine the places,

" Fine! Fine! Remember to utter my name if you encounter someone that you can't handle. I am going to take the north side and do not be afraid since I will be here around you."

Ayra nodded with confidence and walked to the west side of foggy forest from here, the first arrow was shot according to her assumption. Cedric kept staring at her back worryingly for a while. After a moment of silence, he reluctantly walked for the north pool, hoped that the dangerous attacker would be his side because he just couldn't afford to see her getting hurt.

Ayra hesitated before entering into the forest. Except the thick layers of fogg, there wasn't much anything to see. After taking few steps, she heard raw noises from trees.

Snapping her head back to stare at those trees, she was surprised to find nothing untill a sarcastic voice came from the high branch above her tree,

" Well..Well..I didn't expect to meet the new queen so fast.."

Ayra stumbled taking one step back and looked up at the branch right after her head. A man was sitting over it comfortably, more like a monkey. His back had few arrows which caught attention of Ayra first. His face was grinning as if his attention had been achieved.

Ayra laughed back without any fear or anxiety on her face,

" Well, I didn't know that someone would throw an arrow just to have my presence in front of him. What an honour! "

The man over the tree grimaced a little. Streching out his both legs, he jumped straight for the ground. His impact made a sush sound. Glaring at Ayra hatefully, he sneered coldly,

" What a proud soul just like your husband! "

Ayra didn't show her distaste in front an outside. Instead she shrugged observing her enemy with a sharp eyes,

" Well, I can't help with that. We are mates after all. Now, Mr. May I know the reason of your attack?"

The man laughed hard after Ayra's words. He responded with sarcasm and disrespect towards Ayra,

" You?? You think that you are in position to negotiate with me? Who are you? Huh?"

He spoke after letting out another hilarious laughter as if he had heard a big joke. Ayra observed him silently for a while.

Her inner beast growled and howled to act on surface but they couldn't come out because of its command. Ayra persued him one last time between her clenching and unclenchihg actions,

" I can help you probably. At least, I can pass your words to his highness."

The man again laughed manically. Placing his palms over his hips, he looked down on Ayra,

" You have a pretty big mouth, gal. Do you want me to believe that his highness would consider your words seriously? Ha? Hahaha..The man who has hundred of mistresses would care of your words. Don't make myself laugh at you anymore."

His words were the biggest insult for Ayra. Her face darkened in anger after she and her marriage life was disrespected by this outsider. She let go of herself and allowed her inner beasts to take control.

Less than a few seconds, her eyes changed blazing in two different colors that proved that her two creatures side were on surface.

She charged forward to grab the laughing man in her inhumanic speed. Since the man was busy in laughing, he missed her sudden violent attack.

All of a sudden, his body was pressed against the tree painfully. Face thrashed against the hardness with a thud and pain shot through his body. His head was holding against the tree's body hardly by Ayra whose voice came out from back with a growl,

" I am the legit queen of this kingdom. So it allows me to punish my disobedient sovereign. What did you say earlier? He has many mistresses, right? He might have hundred of mistresses but only one queen and that is me.."

Ayra paused between her words. Turning his body around swiftly, she hit his head with her own one and kept holding his wrist in her tight grip.

The man's head bounced back like a rattle in pain. His nose started bleeding profusely as he looked up at Ayra's eyes bewildering. He never witnessed such unique eyes.

Before he could plead for mercy, Ayra bit down on his wrist with her fangs painfully. All the airs of his lungs brusted out as a horrified scream, frightened the birds from the bushes.

Once she was done sucking his blood, she lifted up to stare at the half conscious man proudly. Running her tongue over her fangs greedily, she resumed with an evil grin,

" And I forgot to tell you that I am hybrid bitch."
