Lucia run to Benjamin as he enter the house, father, what is happeningin the castle?, why has Blackwood pack come to our kingdom?.

How did you know they are from Blackwood pack?.

She hesitate, I looked through the window and overheard the people mention that they are from Blackwood pack.

It nothing, I need to rest, he enter his room and lock the door from the inside.

It dead in the night Ken sit on the wooden chair at the center of the room, Steve sit across him, Alpha, how come Kendrick accepted the offer easily, I thought it going to be difficult to convince him to accept.

Sam enter the room take a sit beside Steve, how are they?.

The warriors are taken care of, you need not to worry, Sam respond to Ken, It was easy to get Kendrick to join hands with our pack, I find it hard to believe.

Whatever it is we have to stay alertas long as we are here in their kingdom, we can't trust them yet, Steve speaks.

They don't trust us aswell, even though the king has agreed the people are not pleased with it, Sam contribute.

It late, everyone should get some rest, we can discuss tomorrow.

The sun rises, the busy foot steps of the maids moving up and down in the castle, Benjamin and Jonas enter Ken's room, good morning Alpha, I hope you had a good night rest?.

Thanks to you, Ken respond to Benjamin calmly.

Steve and Sam also walks in at the moment, Alpha, Steve look concerned.

The king will have you in the council meeting this morning.

Why?, is he going back on his decision?, Sam protrude glaring at Benjamin and Jonas.

Of course not, the king will like to address the matter officially with the council members, Benjamin explain to them.

Alright, tell the king I will join him, Ken respond.

Jonas give them a deadly glance before he follows Benjamin out of the room.

Even though their king accepted, we must not trust them, Steve says out of concern.

You said that last night, Ken says as he leave the room, Steve and Sam follow him.

Where are you going?, you should stay inyour room, we don't know what they might be planning.

Do you believe they can harm me, don't worry, I will just look around the castle.

No one dares to harm Alpha as long as am here, Sam respond firmly to Steve.

Elizabeth rush into Jasmine's room, what is it this time that has got you scared?, is there another news greater than joining hands with werewolves?.

My queen, the king has requested for the presence of the princess at the council meeting.

What!, Jasmine fling up.

He commanded me to make sure she is present.

I will go talk to him.

My queen, Elizabeth's call stops her on her track, what is it again?.

The king is already in the hall with the council members.

What in the gods name is this, Jasmine exasperate, let's go to Crestella's room, she stops in front of Crestella's room, open the door.

Elizabeth stutter, I will quickly go get the key, she move as quick as she can.

Pathetic, Jasmine says as she watch Elizabeth run.

She rush back with the key unlock the door step aside for Jasmine to enter, the room is dark, I can barely see anything open the curtains and the windows.

Elizabeth quickly move to the window, brizz blowing in the moment Elizabeth opens the window.

Crestella lay on the bed with her eyes close, what wrong with her?, Jasmine speaks and carefully move close toher on the bed place her hand on Crestella's arm shaking her, wake up, Jasmine yell.

Crestella stay still laying on the bed not responding to Jasmine, it only been few days she's been locked up, why is she not responding?.

Elizabeth stutter, maybe it because she hasn't eaten for days.

What!, Jasmine turn to Elizabeth, you didn't feed her all this days.

You told me to lock her up, you didn't instruct me to feed her.

Before Elizabeth could finish her statement a slap landed on her face, startle, she hold her cheek feeling the hot slap on her face, you want to kill my daughter, how dare you, Jasmine yell at her.

Forgive me your highness.

Don't just stand there, go get the doctor, Elizabeth walk quickly out of the room, stop, Jasmine says stopping her, bring the doctor here secretly Kendrick must not find out.

Yes my queen, she rush out.

Quiet, he shut Steve up push the two of them away from the door, let's go.
