[-In the Royal Court-]

The opposing faction against the Alpha King and the sympathizers of Alpha Alister were all surrounded by the royal guards and warriors loyal to the Alpha King.

"What is the meaning of this, Princess Shiveena?!?! Does the Alpha King want another war amongst werewolves?" Amber pointed out to the princess.

Before Princess Shiveena could answer, the huge doors of the great hall opened.

The Alpha King entered with his retinue.

"No, Miss Amber! But we will be persecuting traitors and rebels to the throne, today!" King Alcyd announced to everyone.

Making the other Alphas nervous and fear for their own life.

Due to their involvement in the opposition against the Alpha King.

King Alcyd made his way to the front.

Standing at the side of his younger sister.

Princess Shiveena moved down to a lower step.

Emphasizing the absolute and highest authority of the Alpha King.

"According to the sensory spell performed by Magdeline and the investigation of the entire Bureau of witches, the magical signature and cause of the explosion at the royal hospital are not because of Prince Alarick. Thus, the prime minister is clear from any accusations."

"Prince Alarick is also a victim. So, the royal family demands immediate appropriate action regarding the incident."

The Alpha King added, "If you want to insist the involvement of the rogue werewolves, Magdeline also cleared any possibilities of the rogue werewolves being involved because there was a strict protocol of exclusive entry to the royal hospital."

"Which only allows affiliated werewolves to enter. Meaning, the suspect is a member of an affiliated wolf pack to the throne. And since no one will admit to their crime … I will apprehend all the opposition for interrogation and investigation."

"AS SUSPECTS OF REBELLION TO THE THRONE!"

Immediately there was an uproar within the royal court because they could not accept the decision.

An absolute law in their kingdom, those who are proven traitors and rebels are either exiled or death penalty.

Exile are only given to members of the royal family and highest officials. Due to prevention of a massive conflict.

Death penalty will be given to subordinates and non-Alphas.

"How could you believe Magdeline easily?"

"WE DEMAND PROPER INVESTIGATION!"

Complaints from the members of the opposition.

Amber began to think of a way to resolve their current predicament.

"This is tyranny!" Amber suddenly remarked.

Causing everyone to ride along her remark.

Accusing the Alpha King for his unjust decision.

…

It made him more infuriated.

"YOU DARE CALL ME UNJUST?!?!"

Loudly he stated.

Even the supporters of the royal family became silent.

His Alpha King aura was exuding with great power and intimidating lethality.

"SOMEONE DARED TO KILL ME! AND THE MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY!"

"THIS IS NOT TYRANNY!"

"IT'S THE BEST THING TO DO!"

…

"THIS IS TO REMIND EVERYONE! WE ARE NOT EASY TARGETS!"

"TO PUT US IN DANGER … ONLY DEATH AWAITS!"

King Alcyd was enraged and filled with anger.

Before he can give his order to apprehend all the opposition, including Amber.

Lucas arrived alone.

Some royal guards tried to stop him from entering the great hall but they failed.

All of them were overwhelmed by his strength and agility.

One after another, fell to the ground.

…

"Forgive me for my tardiness and … for the dramatic entrance. But I guess there is something intense going on here." Lucas interrupted the moment of the Alpha King.

The Alpha King and the others wondered at the arrival of Lucas.

*** Flashback ***

[-In the Crimson Pack-]

Lucas was preparing himself to leave for the royal palace.

"Please … help Alcyd in his current problems. Stop him from making any drastic decisions. Knowing his temper. I know he might resolve things by force. Remind him to be careful and be more flexible in his decisions." Selene informed her older brother about what to do.

She added something to remind the Alpha King,

"We are at war with King Lionel and his Legion of Vampires. We must prevent any war amongst ourselves."

"I understand your concern but if he messed up, it's not your job to fix it for him." Lucas told his younger sister.

Instantly, he received a fierce glare from his younger sister.

"Fine! Fine! I will do what you say … as long as you do not forget also to check on Melody. We are checking each other's mate. What a funny situation we are in!"

"And … kindly check on Magdeline regarding the mission I asked of her. We need to hurry things because I can sense something is coming and I can't seem to brush it off. So, will you please check on Magdeline as well?" Selene requested.

After Selene handed over the teleportation and transport scroll, their father and Alpha Maximo entered.

"Where are you going?" Alpha Berrick asked Lucas.

Lucas could not reply immediately, instead he looked at his younger sister for answers.

"I asked Lucas to check on the current situation in the royal palace. And some errands which is related to our preparations for the war against King Lionel and his Legion of Vampires." Selene answered the query of their father.

"Why should he do it? Or is it because you want to check on that good-for-nothing mate of yours?" Alpha Berrick did not sugar coat his words.

Both Alpha Maximo and Lucas felt the rising tension between Selene and her father.

"We are at war with the king of vampires. Every day, his power and forces are growing. I need to make sure that the kingdom is intact and must prevent any unnecessary war between the wolf packs. Because we will lose this war if we fight amongst ourselves." Selene explained to her father.

She further elaborated her intentions.

"So, yes! I am still keeping my end of the deal. I am staying away from him but I must make sure that our own forces won't break apart."

Then, Selene looked at her older brother.

Giving him the signal to proceed on his travel.

…

Alpha Berrick warned Selene to keep herself detached and disassociated from the Alpha King.

*** End of Flashback ***

"As the representative of the Alpha of Crimson Pack and envoy of the next Supreme Ruler, Selene! I extend the wishes of my sister to reconsider your decision, King Alcyd!" Lucas loud declaration.

He reminded everyone that they are currently at war with the vampires.

"I think the opposition knows already what will happen if they continue to antagonize and threaten the royal family. Everyone must find a way to compromise and cease fire at once. Because we will lose this war against the king of vampires if we continue to fight amongst ourselves."

Further silence echoed around the great hall.

"That's what my sister wanted to convey in this noble assembly." Lucas casually confessed to everyone.

…

"Why is she not with you to convey it herself?" King Alcyd asked Lucas.

…

'Uh-oh, I was not told about this. How will I tell him or should I even tell him? Because he would not like it if he finds out that our father restricted Selene to be around him.' Lucas thought to himself.

Pondering on what to reply.
