Olivia and I will go to the palace along with Sophia. She assured us that we can pass the guards because today there is council meeting to be held. If you will ask how am I, well actually, I am quite nervous and who wouldn't be?

I told her, she holds my hands and we held each other gaze.

I smiled at her and then excused herself to be with his Uncle and mate for the last time.

As I turned my body, beside me is my Mate with a sulky face.

Zander's lips compressed, and I know that he doesn't want to say something that would make me mad.

His voice is thick with so much emotions, I know that, but what I have to do?

I pressed my lips on his. He kissed me back and the emotions are overwhelming. His voice turns soft, and my eyes shines.

And then gave me his sweetest smile that I love the most.

I told him.

He replied.

Uncle Jake then give me his heart warming embrace and then kissed my forehead. I hugged him back and told him that I will be careful. After that, he approaches Sophia and they talked, while my feet dragged me towards Luke.

Without a word he kissed me deeply. I was caught off guard but I can't say that I didnt like it though.

He said while not taking away his gaze on me.

" I mumble, he furrowed his eyebrows but soon give me his soft gaze.

He kissed me one more time and then walk with me to the front door.

Itook it and nods my head.

We will take a cab as per advised of Sophia and we will take the hidden road towards the Castle. Her late husband informed her before this secret road, and only elite guards and warriors know this route, but she used this everytime she's taking her off and grateful that nobody caught her. We looked back one more time to our mates and to my Uncle, and then proceed to our mission, hoping that we'll have a favourable result.

After 15 minutes inside the cab, the three reached their destination, the secret passage towards the castle.

Olivia immediately use her power by talking to the trees and plants that surround the road. She told them that they have a important mission and she'll need their help soon, all of them cheerfully complied.

Meanwhile, Avalane grabbed her necklace, eyes closed and silently feel her environment. It doesn't glow or emits heat, meaning they are not in danger, thankfully.

Both of them mastered to hide their auras, so getting caught is impossible. The good thing also is that they can moved like a wind, traits that a white wolf and a royal blood wolf can do.

It didnt take long for them to reach the back door of the castle.

Sophia lead them to her room. After changing into their uniform, both follow Sophia towards the kitchen. Showing it to them, then to the maids room where all the stuff for cleaning are stored.

Bacause they're both being marked, they can send the picture or image where they are to their mates, informing them that they are safely get inside the castle.

Elsewhere, the council members of the kingdom gathered at the meeting hall. The council consists of 12 seats. Usually compose of distant relative of the royals and retired Alpha of the kingdom around the north america. The name of the Head of the council is Matthew. He was the second cousin of the late King Lucas.

"He doesn't able to finish his speech because the door swung open and revealed the Queen. All of them stands up and bow their head. Only one person reluctantly bow his head, and it is Matthew, because deep inside he knows that she didn't deserved to be called the Queen.

" She snarled, all of them lowered their gaze, afraid to taste her wrath, but Matthew looked at her and clear his throat before say something.

His voice is soft but firm, you can feel the authority that he holds.

She shoot him a fiercely glare, but Matthew didn't even flinch.

He lowered his gaze and soon the Queen take her seat at the head of the table and looked at everyone.

"Her eyes focus only at Matthew.

Matthew looked at her, her eyes starts to roam inside the hall. She knew that this issue will come out.

He declared, the Queen has gone silent on her seat, all the council members waits for her response but right now, she doesn't have a stable solution.

" She explained, council

members started to whisper audibly.

She taps her fingers to the desk, until finally clear her throat.

She said in firm voice. All of them bowed their head, while the Queen started to stand from her seat. She excused her self and left them all inside the hall.

Matthew said.

One of the council whispered to Matthew.

His eyes shines but immediately return to being stoic. Eversince that night, the night the Princess was stolen, and the royal couple died, his self changed from being full of life into cold person. Him and the late King Lucas was like a brother.

He was devastated when he learned that his King and Queen died. He cannot believed that they die in natural cause because he knew how healthy both the couples are. But the palace doctor confirmed that it was a heart attack. He wants to make a thorough investigation, but that time some of the council members dont agreed with him, so without a choice, he settled that they died in natural cause.

His other main focus that time is to look for his niece, Princess Isabelle. He has the feeling that she was stolen to save her life, and he never stop to look for her.

The grandfather of King Lucas, and his grandfather are brothers, so it means he is part royal and lucky for him, he has the ability to detect powers. One of the traits that a royal has but he kept it secret. Only King Lucas knew about it. One time, he woke up from his deep slumber, he felt some energy from afar, and he knew that it was coming from the Princess, that night all the hope that was fading started to come alive again. And right now, if ever that she's still alive, he believed that they will cross their path.

" Matthew didnt answer him, he cannot trust anyone, they can't know that he has this ability or else his life will be in danger.

He said nonchalantly, soon he started to wrap his things and dismissed them.
