[-In the castle of King Lucius-]

The night was filled with tension and unraveling schemes.

​​

Prince Alarick felt victorious for his plans to work along on his favor.

On the other hand,

After Prince Alcyd retrieved his younger siblings from the dungeon, he planned to go back to his private chamber with Theo and his younger siblings.

While on his way to his own private chamber, he restrained his anger and frustrations towards his father.

All this time he has been trying to deny the fact that his father would not be able to have the ability to commit such a cruel act or endanger his own mate.

But with all the things that have been unraveling in front of him, he has to consider a lot of things.

Especially the information about Selene's fate as the next -Chosen One- which the Alpha Prince of the Golden Moon Pack has decided to keep such important piece of information as secret.

Due to …

[1] Royal Clash.

[2] Dangerous threats.

[3] Unforeseeable consequences.

[4] Lastly, losing Selene when others find out that she is the missing next -Chosen One- and this could possibly happen once the truth becomes known to others.

A dilemma indeed for Prince Alcyd.

Because he promised …

'I thought we will be honest completely with our mate? Why are you planning to keep such important information from her?' Kratos, the spirit wolf of Prince Alcyd, pointed out something valid.

Kratos, the spirit wolf of Prince Alcyd, heard the loud thoughts of Prince Alcyd.

'Well … This time around, it will be for her own good! Would you rather want to risk our mate's safety just to keep a promise to her?' Prince Alcyd asked his spirit wolf.

'Okay! I agree with you on this one. I just hope we could keep this secret without others knowing it. Though, I fear that there are some secrets that unveil themselves even no matter how much we try to hide them. The truth has its own ways of coming out.' Meaningful warning from Kratos.

'Do not worry! I will do everything I can to protect Selene, our mate!' Prince Alcyd reassuring his concerned spirit wolf.

'Just make sure of it!' brief final words of Kratos for Prince Alcyd before it disappeared.

…

When Prince Alcyd saw Caleb stood by the door with a concerned look as he gets closer to his private chamber, there was a hint of worry, and his instinct kicked in that there was something wrong happened.

The Alpha Prince wondered if there was something wrong or happened, Caleb would have informed him immediately through the mind-link. So Prince Alcyd did not panic despite what his instinct telling him.

Caleb had already rehearsed within his head numerous times on how he would approach Prince Alcyd.

"Oh, Caleb! Why are you looking so worried? Why can't I reach you through the mind-link?" Prince Alcyd curiously asked.

"Your father's resident witch did something to prevent me from seeking your presence and your father visited a while ago and requested Selene to join him in the royal court with a few of his trusted royal guards. Selene voluntarily accepted your father's request. And she instructed me to wait here so that I could inform you about the situation" Caleb directly briefed Prince Alcyd on what went down while he was gone.

"What?!?!" exclaimed by Prince Alcyd.

He hurriedly went inside his private chamber while Prince Ranku was unconscious in his arms.

And his own eyes confirmed … Selene was not in his private chamber.

There was suppressed anger and obvious agitation painted all over Prince Alcyd's face.

"Theo! Will you fetch Kassandra and bring her here in my private chamber? If any royal guard tries to stop you on your way back. Just show this -blue tag- for proof of authority which both of you are granted access to enter the royal palace despite the restrictions." Prince Alcyd gave his command to Theo.

Then he gently placed his unconscious younger brother.

Prince Ranku was covered with Prince Alcyd's coat.

And Princess Shiveena was assisted by Theo to sit on the sofa before leaving for the task given by their Alpha Prince.

"Shiveena, I want you to wait for me here in my private chamber. Caleb will be guarding the door so you have nothing to be afraid of." Prince Alcyd kneeled while explaining to his younger sister.

But Princess Shiveena aired her concerns upon hearing her older brother's intent to leave her on his private chamber.

"Please do not go! Everything is so dark, I do not know what to do if you leave me here on my own." Princess Shiveena looked worried and afraid.

For the first time, Prince Alcyd witnessed this side of his younger sister.

Ever since they were young, Princess Shiveena was always fierce and full of fire within her eyes.

A wave of pity and sympathy towards his younger sister crept within him.

He held his younger sister's face and embraced her.

"Do not worry, I will be back soon! Caleb is a strong fighter. I have to fetch my mate. Your future sister-in-law."

Despite being blind, Princess Shiveena understood the reason of her older brother's concern.

She knows and understands the volatility of her older brother's mate being around with their unpredictable father.

"Okay. I hope she is okay and our father has not done anything crazy. Knowing our father, if he does not like something. He would not think twice about doing something about it." Princess Shiveena gave her opinion.

This even made Prince Alcyd more worried for Selene.

"Just take a rest. Before you know it, I am already back!" Prince Alcyd gave his younger sister some reassurance.

After seeing Princess Shiveena lay down and covered her with a warm blanket, he left his private chamber.

Before heading towards the royal court, he left some final reminders to Caleb.

"I hope this time around, you will not fail me ... So guard my siblings, well!"

It left an embarrassing feeling and regret for failing Prince Alcyd.

"Yes, I will not fail you this time!" an apologetic tone from Caleb.

The Alpha Prince of Golden Moon Pack rushed his way towards the royal court of King Viktor.
