[-In The Royal Hospital-]

King Alcyd controlled the situation in the royal hospital first before leaving everything to Magdeline.

Transferring the other patients to another building.

A group of witches had to take over in the reconstruction of the royal hospital and placing a more powerful barrier headed by Magdeline.

Just outside the room of his older brother, King Alcyd asked the Grand White Witch regarding his older brother

"Lady Magdeline, how is he?" King Alcyd approached Magdeline after making sure that everything was under control.

"I already placed a spell that will neutralize the effects of the demonic curse on your older brother. But I have to find a way to remove it completely. Because a demonic curse will always feed on the anger of your older brother and will dig its roots deeper. Until no spell can stop it but death." Magdeline informed King Alcyd with the current ordeal of his older brother.

"Do you mean … he can possibly die?"

The mention of the possibility of Prince Alarick's death, Chloe accidentally heard the conversation of King Alcyd and Magdeline.

Before King Alcyd could even react to the words of Magdeline, Chloe already chimed in.

"Chloe!" Magdeline was not planning to tell Chloe about the worst case scenario regarding the condition of Prince Alarick.

Because Magdeline knew how dangerous once a witch becomes desperate for a loved one.

Reminding her about those witches who became desperate for a loved one.

"Is it true? If we cannot find a way to remove that demonic curse on him?" Chloe demanded answers from her grandmother.

But her grandmother only became silent.

Lowering her gaze confirmed the fears of Chloe that the man she has learned to love and accept completely may also die … like her father … like her mentor …

A possibility of losing the man she loves.

Chloe rushed inside the room, to see Prince Alarick.

The Alpha King sympathized with Chloe.

Not just as a younger brother but as someone who knows how it feels to lose someone you love.

No words can comfort them.

Only fear and pain takes over.

"Lady Magdeline …" King Alcyd was not able to finish his words because Magdeline already know what he wanted to tell her.

"I will do my best to help him. Just worry about those stupid Alphas and your enemies. They are already using this as an opportunity to remove you from your throne. Selene would need you more now as the Alpha King …" Magdeline told King Alcyd.

Which made the Alpha King curious.

"Why? What happened with your mission?"

"Unfortunately, the Elven King decided to stay neutral from this current war against the vampire king." Magdeline revealed to the Alpha King.

"WHAT?!?!" King Alcyd was in disbelief about the decision of the Elven King.

He continued to ask the Grand White Witch, "Can't he see the threat that the vampire king poses to all creatures. Especially to the elves! What will happen to them once darkness engulfs the entire world? Because the vampire king will only wreak havoc and destruction!"

Magdeline sighed in defeat.

"I already told him that. Together with his daughter and Princess Magenta, we tried to convince him but he would not budge in."

"What made him change his tune?"

"The decision of Queen Venus to stay neutral and the lack of guarantee that we will defeat King Lionel made him doubt the survival of his own people if ever Selene becomes the next Supreme Ruler. After also finding out from his own spies … King Lionel has acquired new power that will change the dynamics of the war."

She furthered, "Then … he also pointed out the turmoil going on within the werewolf kingdom. It also reached to him the news about the current faction of the royal family versus the growing faction of the opposition led by the Alpha of the Jade Pack."

"Stability within the kingdom affects the decision of other monarchs and leaders to support or reject the claim of Selene as the destined next Supreme Ruler."

King Alcyd pondered on the urgency of stabilizing his own royal court or else …

It will continuously affect the chances of Selene gaining more support from other kingdoms.

And potential allies.

On the other hand …

Prince Alarick has finally woken up from his slumber.

Seeing Chloe crying by his side.

"W-Why are you crying?" Prince Alarick wondered.

He could sense such great worry from his own mate.

"Because I do not want to lose you!" Chloe admitted her fears.

Prince Alarick hugged Chloe.

Trying to comfort his worried mate.

"Shhh … You will not lose me. We are stuck with each other for a long … long … long … time!"

"I do not want a long time ... I want an entire lifetime with you!" Chloe looked at Prince Alarick with so much sincerity and genuine love for him.

Her confession of her true feelings made Prince Alarick hold her tight …

And expressed his own love for her.

Their lips met.

A surge of burning love and passion surrounded the two.

"Then it shall be a lifetime with you!"

"MY HEART AND SOUL!"

Prince Alarick conveyed his love to Chloe.

Reminding Chloe of the love he has for her.

Meanwhile …

[-In the Royal Court-]

Amber was briefed about what took place in the royal hospital and about her only brother.

"Alpha Alister is currently being detained at one of the rooms of the royal hospital." His Beta reported everything that transpired at the royal hospital to Amber.

"DETAINED?!! FOR WHAT?!?!" Amber was surprised to know about what happened to Alpha Alister.

"The Alpha King knocked him out. After that … he gave a command to keep him detained until the Alpha King finds out who was really responsible for the explosion and attack in the royal hospital."

Her pride took over as an older sister of Alpha Alister.

Though, she knew who was truly responsible and mastermind for the incident in the royal hospital.

'DAMN IT!' Amber began to worry for the worst.

"Gather our supporters. We have to redirect the blame and reassure the innocence of my brother." Amber said to the Beta of the Jade Pack.

But Princess Shiveena remained in the royal court.

Proving her worth as an ally of the Alpha King.

And as a member of the royal family.

Unknown to the faction of Alpha Alister and the opposition, Princess Shiveena used her own growing faction.

Giving conditions and tempting offers to other powerful and influential Alphas.

Everyone was suddenly surprised that Princess Shiveena took charge at the chaos in the royal court.

"ATTENTION EVERYONE!" Princess Shiveena loudly took command.

All royal guards blocked the entry and exits of the great hall of the royal court.

Then, all official generals of the army went in front of her.

Serving as her guards, led by Alpha Gerald.

Alpha Violet rallied the other supporters of the royal family and stood at one area near the throne.

"ALL TRAITORS AND REBELS SHALL PERISH TODAY!" Princess Shiveena announced.

Shocking declaration echoed all over the great hall.

Putting everyone into silence.

"ORDERS FROM THE ALPHA KING!" Princess Shiveena relayed the order of her older brother.
