[-In The Royal Hospital-]

Laura was surprised to see Selene in the same place with the Alpha King … her husband.

​​

Her fear has finally came.

For the mate of her husband to appear and possibly ruin her marriage.

A clear threat to her future with the Alpha King.

Knowing that Selene will always be the true love of her husband.

Seeing her around threatened her dream of gaining her husband's affection.

Despite the noise of the busy emergency room, Laura could hear her the heart of her husband beating fast at the sight of her.

"Lady Laura! I am glad you have come to visit the Alpha King." Beta Garrett acknowledged the arrival of Laura.

Behind her was her younger sister and the resident witch of the Jade Pack, Freya.

As King Alcyd's wife, Laura wanted to directly express her concern for her husband.

But the presence of Selene made it impossible for Laura to ignore her.

"Why are you here? I thought you are in the middle of war against the vampire king and his Legion of Vampires." Laura asked Selene.

"LAURA!" King Alcyd did not like the tone of Laura towards Selene.

"WHAT?!?! I was just asking. Isn't she supposed to be somewhere else? Why is she even here?" Laura did not hesitate in pointing out her curiosity.

Tension arises around the Alpha King.

Mostly, between Laura and Selene.

Instead of arguing with Laura, Selene kept her calm and explained herself.

"I am here as the Luna of the Golden Moon Pack. Not as someone who would cause such scandal." Selene remarked to Laura.

Not allowing the she-wolf to humiliate her.

Amber and Freya tried to calm Laura down because they fear for her fragile condition.

"Oh really?!?! If you are here as the Luna of the Golden Moon Pack, why don't you go tend to the wounded and BE A LUNA TO THEM?!?! Don't go poking around things you have no right in dealing with." Laura was not able to contain her jealousy and her fear of losing her husband.

Selene closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she could say something that may harm Laura.

After all, Selene doesn't want to cause any miscarriages or risk towards the pregnancy of Laura.

"If you feel threatened of my presence, I will leave soon. We were just talking about the failed assassination attempt towards the Alpha King." Selene explained further to Laura.

Upon hearing Selene's reason, Laura could not believe someone would dare to attempt taking the life of the Alpha King.

"What do you mean? Someone tried to assassinate the Alpha King?" Laura asked once more.

"Yes! And fortunately, they failed to take the life of the Alpha King." Selene answered.

Beta Garrett joined the conversation in his attempt to divert the tension towards the more worrisome issue at hand.

"We captured two of the assailants. Though, they are cold and lifeless at the moment."

"But we can run a search on their identity. Then we can find out who they are affiliated with and determine the mastermind of the failed assassination plot." King Alcyd added.

As the tension between Laura and Selene began to dissipate.

"A severe punishment awaits for those responsible in this horrendous act!" Selene emphasized the severity of the crime.

She continued,

"The life of our warriors were harmed. Death will be too easy as the punishment for the culprits. Once we find out the mastermind of this failed assassination plot, we will serve them as an example to others." A strong conviction of Selene for justice.

Right after hearing Selene's strong words, Laura remembered the words of her younger brother.

Alpha Alister had an intention of killing the Alpha King and once activated the service of their assassins.

Getting lost in her own thoughts, King Alcyd suggested Laura to take a rest instead of stressing herself with his condition.

"I am okay! You can take a rest. Especially with your fragile condition. You can't stop worrying for me." King Alcyd intended to prevent any unnecessary strife between Laura and Selene.

Amber also felt nervous for her younger brother because just like her older sister … the thought of their younger brother came into mind upon discovering the failed assassination attempt on the life of their Alpha King.

If Laura was filled of raging jealousy moments ago, after hearing the failed assassination attempt on King Alcyd's life … her fear shifted.

For the life of her younger brother.

Selene could not help but feel uncomfortable at the sudden display of concern from King Alcyd towards Laura.

Immediately when she felt it was time for her to leave, Selene walked away without informing the Alpha King.

Avoiding the sting caused by King Alcyd's concern for Laura's health.

King Alcyd noticed Selene's sudden exit.

He wanted to stop her but it was too late for him to say or do anything.

Instead of letting Selene just walk away, King Alcyd went after for her.

Removing all the attached threaded lock of his IV-Drip.

Since, there was no need of further treatment for his condition. He did not care at all anymore.

While Laura wanted to interrupt the two, her concern was diverted to her younger brother.

Leaving worried for her younger brother.

"Sister!" Amber wanted to express her worry for their younger brother.

"NOT NOW!" Laura implied to her younger sister that they were in a wrong place to mention anything about their younger brother.

Making eye signals, referring to the inquisitive presence of Beta Garrett and their surroundings.

"This is not the venue for your concerns." Laura hurriedly left with her sister and Freya.

Laura's instinct tells her that their younger brother is the mastermind of the failed attempt on her husband's life.

'Alister, what have you done?' Laura worriedly thought to herself.
