368 Troubling News

The king walked out of the car and stretched a bit before lazily against the closed door. The royals had the power to peer through the mind link even when others tried to block them out.

It was out of respect for everyone’s privacy that they didn’t use the mind link whenever they detected resistance through the mind link. King Davin eyed his daughter with sadness. Out of all of them, she was the one hurting the most. She put on a brave face in front of all of them, but she wasn’t fooling anyone among the royals, “Will she be okay?” Drake’s voice yanked at his attention as they watched Lina go up the stairs with her friends.

“Why would she be alright?” the question was rhetorical, “Not after what Katie did for her. I never would have thought the two of them would grow so close in the short time they were together,” the king sighed. Mixed with his sadness, was a hint of pride. Katie fitting into the royals had also been a worry of his... as it so happened, the girl hadn’t had trouble fitting in. In fact, royalty welcomed her more than he’d expected, “If I’m being honest though, we all need some space right now. The pack felt Katie’s presence even when she regardless of her carefree nature... They will feel her absence even more.”

“I couldn’t agree with you more,” Drake replied, right before someone else spoke up to their side.

Alpha Jackson’s usual confident tone failed him this once.”Your majesty...” The words wouldn’t come out easily. “Uh,” the alpha rubbed a hand through the back of his dark curly hair, his eyes darting about.

“Take your time, Jackson,” the king said warmly even though his emotions screamed an entirely different message. The beta alpha could detect the contradiction but chose to ignore it. He was already struggling to find a way to speak as it is. ‘One command from the king... that’s all he needs to have me say everything,’ the beta alpha mentally cursed.

King Davin had mastered the art of allowing his beta alphas free will, however, it wasn’t always a good thing. Sometimes Jackson wanted the king to order him to do something so he wouldn’t hesitate in getting it done. Now was one such time. Taking a deep breath, the beta alpha began, “While you were gone... Well... let’s just say things weren’t as quiet as you hoped they would be.”

“What could be so important that you couldn’t wait until after the feast tonight?” the king raised a brow at him, “Was there a rogue attack? I’m sure there isn’t something you couldn’t handle on your own.”

“Well, my lord... This wasn’t something I could handle. In fact, they insisted that you’re the only one that could handle it. It’s... your uncle. He’s been captured by the hunters. The hunters... they have... um... suggestions... suggestions on what you should do to him. They worry me,” slowly and with a grimace, the information came out of the beta alpha for the present royals to digest.

The king rubbed his temples, “My family must be made of drama. Take me to him at once.” Martha chuckled at the comment, but couldn’t deny his words. It never did get boring in the family of royals.

“Want me to come with you?” Queen Martha asked him.

The king looked back and noticed Drake deep in thought. “Don’t worry about me, father. I’m going to the gym. I need some way to... distract myself.”

Drake had felt like meeting up with Honour, but after seeing Lina leave with her, the thought was shelved for later and he moved on to the next option. The king nodded and watched his son leave them, “Are you sure you want to meet Sean after all this?”

“He’s family. Of course, I want to meet him. Perhaps this time, we’ll get some better information out of him. He did break his promise after all. That’s the least he can offer us,” the queen responded with a tight smile.

“Very well,” King Davin accepted. Jackson had them get back into the car and drove off for the Hunter’s Agency. “Didn’t you take him to the dungeons once they’d found him?” the king asked, his curiosity starting to grow.

“Umm, we weren’t able to do that. They said he was caught on their premises. In a way, it gives them right over how long they get to hold him,” the man replied. The king sighed. Something was adding up, but with everything on his mind, King Davin could barely begin to decipher what was happening.

He simply wanted to get the meeting over with and probably have the man transferred back into the castle where they could keep a closer eye on him.

Reaching the gates to the facility, the king was shocked to find Frank Silver waiting for them in full uniform. His pink leather outfit and three quivers made him look like a man ready to slaughter an entire pack of rabid rogue wolves, which he was fully capable of doing, had he been given the order.

“It’s been a while, Frank,” the king greeted politely when they exited the car.

“A long time indeed. I heard you’d gone to attend a coronation. How did it go?” the man asked him.

“It was... unexpected and certainly furrier than I remember it used to be. We’ll get into that later. Would you show me to my brother now?” the king asked.

“Odd, I could have sworn he mentioned he was your uncle instead. Well, I guess he doesn’t look old enough to be your uncle. That would be weird now, wouldn’t it?” Silver chuckled.

“Let’s just go meet him. I’m exhausted enough as it is,” the king replied, shrugging the minor details the pink leather-clad man had just tried to get out of him.

“Right this way... but before we go. Might there be some secrets the royal family is keeping from the hunters?” Silver asked with a dangerous tone in his voice. This tone usually got much thinking twice before answering him, but he wasn’t talking to just about anyone.

Silver was speaking to the king of the Sirius Empire who had just lost his daughter a second time. The king almost missed this silent threat, but when he did notice it, he didn’t have the nerve to take him seriously. Instead, he sighed, “Every family has its share of secrets. If you’re asking to know if they are intended to keep disputes between the hunters and werewolves from arising, it’s nothing of the sort. They are merely family matters we hold between us.”

“Let’s hope family matters is all they are, indeed,” the Mighty Warrior replied, starting the walk deeper into the facility, “Just so you know... the rogue king’s beta alpha escaped.” He said matter-of-factly, his hands balling into hard fists.

This... This got the King’s attention...
