MEREDY's POV

"Ok. This is Meredy. And she will help us find Juvia."

I smiled at them, standing up from my seat.

"It is nice to meet you all. Especially you, Your Majesty." I said, bowing down then sitting back down.

"It is nice to meet you too, Meredy. We are really glad that you accepted our offer. But how exactly would you help us?" King Makarov asked as I sip at the cup of my tea. I smiled as I put down my cup. I looked at Jellal and he nodded.

"Actually sir, I am usually called The Tracker. I track a group's leader to track the whole group. The group may be a family or a pack. Family for vampires." I paused and looked at King Makarov. "And pack for werewolves. In other words, I track their Alpha." I said. King Makarov nodded.

"I see... how many days does that take? I mean... tracking werewolves are one of the most hardest things to do. For an ordinary human." King Makarov said. And I blinked, tilting my head to the right.

"Base from the information that Jellal and Gray-san said, it would take me a few hours since that pack are powerful. But for short, it wouldn't take more than four days." I said before smiling.

"Besides, who said that I'm just an ordinary human." I said, giggling at their reactions.

"Oh. Are you a vampire, then, Ms. Meredy? I expected not since you're a tracker and werewolves aren't the only enemies of a vampire." King Makarov asked. I smiled, shaking my head.

"No, my King. I am neither a vampire nor a werewolf." I answered, bringing up my cup of tea once more, sipping from it. The tea tastes great.

I wonder what tea is it. Hmmm. I wonder what tea the Royal Family is using.

"Then, Meredy-sama... if you are neither a vampire nor a werewolf..." a girl with short, light blue hair said, pausing, with her thumb and index finger holding on her chin.

I was about to sip from my cup of tea once more when she continued her question.

"Then, are you possibly a guardian?"

I stopped and brought the cup of tea down to the coffee table. I looked up to her to examine her face. She's the mate of Prince Sting. I slowly smiled.

"You're right, Yukino-san. I am The Guardian that uses Maguilty Sense. A lost magic that I inherited from my mother." I softly said. They 'Ohhh'ed.

"So how would you track the Alpha?" a little girl with dark blue hair asked. It's Princess Wendy. I still know her since she visited us before. I smiled.

"It's not that easy. But if the Alpha and someone shares a strong feelings of some sort for each other, then it will take me a short time to do so." I said. And they just stared at me in silence.

"Who's gonna be that someone, then?" I turned my eyes to the boy standing behind a blue-haired girl. His black hair long intriguing me. Wait... this man... I know him somewhere.

"We have to know who the Alpha is before we find who that someone is." King Makarov said and they nodded.

They don't have a single clue who's the Alpha?

"I know who the Alpha is." I said as I bow down my head to not let them see the grimaced looked on my face. I can feel their eyes on me. I frowned.

"Who, Ms. Meredy?" King Makarov asked and I fixed my face before looking up.

"Lyon Vastia"

JUVIA's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and adjusted at the darks surroundings.

Where am I?

I was about to sit up when a voice startled me.

"I can see that you're finally awake." it was a deep voice that came from a man. The man stepped into the light. His hair is kind of bluish silver and his eyes are dark and slanted. He wears a white, long jacket that has dark fur trimmings around his neck and cuffs. He wears this weird pants that has diamond-like patterns. It's kind of creepy for me.

I backed to the headboard , staying away from him. He chuckled.

"Don't worry. I wouldn't hurt you." and he paused. "I wouldn't try to hurt the mate of my brother." he added. My eyes widened.

"Gray-sama's... brother?" I asked. Could this be Jellal-san? No. Jellal-san looks more mature than this man. And Jellal-san's hair is blue, not bluish silver.

"Not blood-related. We just treat each other like that since we have the same teacher." he said, a small smile on his face.

"B-But... why did you took Juvia, then?" I asked and he looked at me with a smirk.

"You see... I am simply just taking away everything that he treasures... that's all." he answered calmly and my eyebrows furrowed.

"That's because he took everything from me." he whispered with so much hatred in his voice.

"I'm sure Gray-sama wouldn't do such a thing to his brother." I defended and he chuckled.

"Then you still have not known the real Gray. After all, you just met the day when you two mated. Am I right?" he said and my cheeks heated for a moment.

How did he knew?

"Hm. Base from your reaction, I could say that I'm right." he chuckled.

"Well... I guess I should not spoil you from my plans for Gray." he paused, sighing. "I wonder what would be his reaction when he finds out that I'm the one that took you away from him." he laughed before stopping abruptly.

"I'm sure that his brother would be asking for her help." I heard him said deeply, like there's something hidden in it. I just don't know what. But I'm gonna find it out. His eyes are hidden by his bangs so I don't know what his emotions are. I can't read them.

Then he suddenly looked up, a smile plastered on his face.

"I guess I should be taking my leave now, Princess Juvia. It wouldn't be a surprise anymore if I would spoil you with all of my plans." he chuckled. Then he disappeared.

I frowned.

I wonder if Gray-sama is even looking for me.

ERZA's POV

I stared at the wide ocean ahead of me, the wind passing through, making my hair dance with it.

I sighed.

I have a very bad feeling that this mission to save Juvia is going to be a rough one.
