(Drake's Pov) Ava and I left the border to go to my place. Ava and I felt the presence of someone. We stopped in front of the house and got into battle stance. I called Xavier and Becker telling them that someone was following me. Zoe approached with a random male who wasn't a part of the pack. I growled at them, but they fought against submitting to me. I noticed Ava was looking for their weak spots. Nate(my wolf) let out a growl of excitement that our mate knows what she's doing. I let out a deep warning growl when the male stepped toward Ava. I heard a growl come from Isabella and she came running to the scene. The male lunged at Ava and she moved aside. He turned back, but stopped when he looked into her eyes. Ava was confused by this and growled. He bent his head to the side and got down low showing his submission. Zoe couldn't stand that he submitted and growled at him. She ran at Ava, but Isabella grabbed her thigh. Zoe growled in agony and kicked Isabella in the stomach sending her into a nearby tree. I approached Zoe and grabbed her throat holding her in place. She said, "I'm not going to submit to you anymore Drake, I'll only submit to the Lycan Queen herself." I chuckled at her statement and let her go. I said, "Submit to her then, because she's standing right in front of you." Ava looked into Zoe's eyes and started shifting into her Lycan-form. Her Lycan-form was larger than any wolf I've seen before. Zoe bowed and then submitted not knowing what to do. Isabella walked up to us. I called for Beck and Xavier to come out of the woods. Ava said, "What did y'all think you could've accomplished by pulling this scene." The guy answered saying, "Zoe thought she would take over the pack and search for the Lycan Queen to make a truce. That would lead the pack becoming invincible." Ava said, "How do you know about Lycans' and their royal blood? How did you know that they weren't dead?" The guy replied, "My family told me about the Lycans' and how they are royal blood making them rulers over werewolves. A witch who can see the future saw two Lycans' sparring in a dimly lit room practicing and preparing for battle." Ava said, "Thank you for telling me all of this information. I never got your name though." The guy said, "My name is Oliver Neal My Queen."
