"So do you know any way how to destroy the staff?" Leader Elena asked me as we walked towards where the witches were discussing how to destroy the staff.

After having discussed with Alexander and thinking about it for like hundred times, I finally told everyone that I am a black she wolf and they were all more than happy to help me train myself and the witches were happy to have my help.

"I don't actually know. I don't know if my magic will be strong enough to break it." I said

"We will surely find something Queen Analise." I smiled politely at her as we entered the room full of witches training.

After spending an hour with the witches, trying to figure out how to destroy the staff, we were called for an urgent meeting by the other leaders. We went to meeting room and as soon as we entered, I could feel the tension in the room.

I nervously went to take my seat and as soon as I did, Alexander took my hand in his as if he was afraid I would disappear anytime now. Something is definitely wrong. I looked at him with raised eyebrows but instead he just gave my hands a little squeeze. Ever since we completed the mating process, I could feel his emotions very well now and at the moment he was definitely nervous

'What happened?' I asked through the link

'Wait till everyone is here and then we will tell it once and for all.'

I sighed and leaned back in my chair, playing with Alexander's hands. Once everyone was here, they finally decided to talk.

"The vampires have declared war on us and it is next week itself on the night of the full moon in the clearing near the werewolf kingdom itself." King Tarsal said out aloud. "The werewolves and griffins are still on their side and they will be fighting against us. We have to be ready. there is no room for any mistake here."

A chorus of 'yes' was heard in the room.

"I want you all to be training and give your best. This is a very important thing for all of us. We don't know what will happen if they win. All we know is that it will not be good. I will personally take care of the training of the warriors along with the other leaders while Leader Elena and Analise will take care of the training of the witches." Alexander said in his business voice.

"What will you do if you do not know how to destroy the staff?" King Elijah asked us.

"If we can't destroy it, we can try to take it away from the king so that then he would not be as powerful." I suggested. "Like some of the witches could distract him with their magic. Make him think that we are trying to destroy the staff. While he will be busy fighting them, I will make use of my magic and get the staff. Then from there, leader Elena could take it. Along with the witches, you could try to destroy it by converging your magic in a quiet place to help you focus or just keep it away from their reach."

"That could work. I could cast a spell once we have the staff so that they would not be able to get close it while we work on destroying it." Leader Elena said.

"What about the warriors? How will we proceed to attack them?" King Elijah asked again

"Well, I was thinking that we have enough people. We could try and attack them from all sides but the only problem is that it is a clearing. They might be able to spot us and also we don't know the size of their army either." King Tarsal said.

"Grandmother, the clearing, it is the one behind the castle right?" I asked to which she nodded. "Well, I can make a projection of it right now with my magic then we can plan how we will attack them." I closed my eyes and imagined the clearing in my mind and I muttered a spell and watched as the image in my mind was now in 3D on the table. "It is just a projection so you cannot actually touch it."

"Well as we can see, the clearing is really big but it is surrounded by forests. Some of us could be separated in groups and would hide in the forests in the different sides. Then once the war has started, only part of us will attack them." King Tarsal explained his idea

"That could work except they are vampires. They could hear us or even smell us. Also, lets not forget about the wolves. the griffins would be flying too so they would most probably see us from high."

"My warriors could distract the griffins." King Elijah suggested.

"I believe the problem with our scent could also be taken care of." Leader Elena suggested. "We could put a spell on the warriors who would be hiding in the woods so that their scent would be very light as we can't remove their scent."

"As for hearing them, I think we could send one experienced witch with each group. She would cast an invisibility barrier around them. This way, not only would they not see them but also not hear them." I suggested.

"I am sure we could do that." Leader Elena supported me.

"For the groups who will be hiding in the forest, they will join the attack them when they least expect it. One of us must give them some sort of signal for them to know when they will attack." King Tarsal spoke

"I think it would be a good thing to have them wait a bit in the beginning. Let them think that they have outnumbered us but then mid way through we could have them attack or if necessary before that." Alexander said

"Also, once we kill the leaders, stop attacking. We don't want more lost of lives in this war. They may be fighting against us but they are just following in the footsteps of their leader. Once their leader is dead, they will stop." Grandmother said

"But then it would mean that we have to kill King Royal too." King Tarsal said

"And if needed Ryan, Rayna, Ivory and Isabella too. The chose this when they decided to side with them." Grandmother said without mercy

"But what about the throne then? For the griffins as I have heard, King Leon has a child who is not involved in the war so he will take over in case of his death but for the werewolves, what will happen? Princess Analise is now queen of the demons so she can't take the throne." Leader Elena said

"I don't know. We have never came with something like this but I believe that we will find a solution." Grandmother said

----------------------------

*A few days later*

I watched the little stars shine in the peaceful night, unaware of the disaster awaiting to happen in just a few days. I don't even want to think of the blood bath that will happen or the number of people that will lose their lives. I just want this to be over once and for all.

"Are still worried for what will happen?" Alexander asked as he came out on the balcony with me.

I sighed and nodded. I leaned into his touch as he hugged me from behind, placing a kiss on the side of my head. "I won't let anything happen to you."

"Don't let anything happen to you either. You promised me."

"Hmm. I remember and I will not break it."

"You better." I tilted my head and glared at him playfully.

"I don't know what will happen but I just want you to know that I love you and will always do." He said all of a sudden and I felt the air become tense.

"Please don't say anything like that. Nothing will happen." I turned around and held his large hands in mine. "Once this is over, it will go back to normal and then we can continue with our lives. I love you too."

Please let this war be over once and for all.
