The unrevealed truth

Third-person point of view

Hundreds ago ... In the palace.

As King Edmund entered his royal room, fury was shown on his face. Meanwhile, queen Sophie was watching her reflection in the mirror while fixing her make-up. The mad appearance of her king did not affect her at all, it was something that she was used to seeing.

''Where is she?'' He growled at her. Just by then, she seemed to notice his mood. '' I don't know what are you talking about.'' She answers him. Her voice was so soft that no stranger would've believed that she really doesn't have any clue. But not her husband, the one who knows her better than anyone else. In a swift move, a chair was thrown inches away from her. The next thing to happen was the king threatening her with her life '' If anything happens to her, I swear to end your life. I swear .....' she cut him off '' You can't do a thing - you fool. You know better than to mess with me, sweetheart. One wrong move and my loyalty and the one of my family will turn against you and toward the rebels, and you lose everything including your lovely mate.'' This time she was not soft, she was cold and heartless.

Her coldness seems to affect the mighty king's heart. In instants, he wasn't mighty as he usually was at all. He kneeled down before her and pleaded, ''I'm begging you ... You can do anything for me, but not her. Don't hurt her please.''

….

Nowadays ... In the palace.

The royal wing, exactly the king's office. Queen Sophie was doing her best while trying to convince her husband to be patient with their son. However, King Edmund doesn't seem a bit taken by what his queen was mumbling around.

'' He still needs time to heal, you can't just ...'' He cut her off '' I can my queen, I can do whatever I want. I'm the king, your king, and everyone else's King, including your beloved son. I can do whatever I want.'' He finished, not leaving the space for any other sort of discussion, not until the queen decided to speak again ''He is your son too, not only mine. I get the fact that you hate me, you have always hated me. But you can't take that on him. Be a father rather than a king, only once in your life. And give him some time to heal. He just lost his mate recently.'' she pleaded, and this time he seemed a bit affected by her words: ''But Sir Rowan ...'' Now she was the one who cut him off ''Sir Rowan can wait for a few months, remember - a father to your son, not just a king''.

While speaking together, one of the guards interrupted the discussion between King Edmund and Queen Sophie. '' Your Highness, there was an attack on the palace ... the Alpha prince is ....'' '' The Alpha prince is what?'' shouts the queen and the frightened guard answered her with hesitation '' The .. The Alpha prince is .. Injured. But he was rescued on time. He is in the royal hospital, future beta Albert and future delta Logan are there by his side''. They both left the office and went directly to the royal hospital. The king burst the door open.

On the bed was laying 'Liam' and beside him were both of his beta and delta. As much as he seems mighty and powerful, he was a father too, and seeing his son hurt does hurt him a bit.

The king moved toward both of them and ordered, '' I want to know what happened exactly, and now!'' In response to his order, Albert starts explaining '' Vampires' attack, they wanted their princess back ''Elizabeth'' ''But Liam didn't accept to give them his mate's body'' finished the queen but was interpreted by Albert '' Not exactly, in somehow she's alive again. She was with the Alpha prince when we were busy trying to deal with the attack. What exactly happened between them, and why both of them were knocked out, no one really knows.''

A gasp runs out from the queen then she turns to Logan and asks '' If she is alive, where is she now?'' Logan was unable to answer since he somehow felt guilty for not being able to protect his only and own sister again, Albert took the lead to speak '' Elijah was leading the vampires' attacks from behind, As we were all busy defending the palace, he stole the princess.'' The king growl furiously '' And how it comes that I don't know a thing about what's happening. Are you taking me for a fool?'' A cold sweat covered everyone's head but the queen, she seems more terrifying than terrified. Of course, she would be. Her child is lying unconscious in bed in front of her.

Both of the king and queen regained their calm, then Logan added ''There are also some rumors about some rebels who are planning to attack the palace, It said that they're believing .....'' He stops, and the queen wondered '' believe in what ...?''. Then Albert spoke again, ''They believe that Liam is not the only alpha prince, another prince exists. They want the other prince to fight for the throne, his right of reigning''.

The queen stumped out from the room, not making any sound, but terror was showing on her face. The truth that she was trying to hide her entire life is now coming out, and she can't do a thing but to find the identity of the king's other child, and end his life before anyone knows about him. That's what she was trying to do year after year - yet, she seems to fail after all these years.

Not like the queen, King Edmund remained in the hospital room for a while. No one dares to add a thing after what was said. He runs his hands through his head, not knowing what to do. On one hand, one of his sons might lose his throne. On the other hand, the other one will lose his life if someone knows about him. A weird silence was consuming the room., not until the king spoke again. '' Beta Albert, I want you to follow me to my office. Delta Logan, staying with the Alpha prince, does not leave his side.'' As the king ordered, they both followed.
