Cassandra peeked over her mate's shoulder. There were around ten guards restraining her child and they did not know why.

"Do it," Javier commanded. "Inject it."

​​

Cassandra's eyes closed at what happened next. The doctor on the site injected her child with a heavy dose of silver to restrain his beast.

She sniffled.

Everything died down after that. The Guards slowly started to step back in a circle as they watched the Alpha stop struggling gradually and falling into a sleep on the floor.

"Thank you everyone." Javier nodded to them, "We shall have the rest taken care of."

She let Javier handle everything else. There was no way that she could see her child being carried on a stretcher with restraints. So she looked away from the sight.

The move to the infirmary where he was once again tied down with metal chains to keep him from going feral again.

Yes, feral.

Her child had gone feral in the morning and had killed two Guards that had tried to restrain him which is why they had to call in more including his parents.

"What happened to him?" Cassandra asked the doctor. " I know it could not have been any kind of infection. He has had every shot that is necessary in the safety community. What was the reason for his feral attack?"

The doctor stared at the boy with a tired expression on his face before he shook his head. "I am aware of the injections given to the king. But what I do not understand is the reason behind such behaviour. I think we will have to conduct some tests."

"What tests?" Javier spoke up. "I understand that our medical advancement is one of the best but are there really any kind of tests that you can conduct here?"

The doctor licked his lip and the parents knew that the man was nervous.

Cassandra closed her eyes and sighed tirelessly.

Early in the morning they had heard growls but the elder couple had assumed that it might be from the training grounds. It was often that a wolf or a shifter would not take the defeat and at times behaved frustratedly.

Only for them to have someone barge into their room and announce that it was the king who was not in control anymore.

His eyes sadkon completely blank and the read that his shifter had had completely disappeared which made her worry more.

"Feral behaviour is not good." She concluded and Augustus and Dylan walked into the room.

"It is not," Augustus agreed right away, "which is why we have made sure that this would not leave the palace walls."

Dylan spoke up, "The people are not liking the fact that there is no queen and that there is no heir. It only makes them uncertain about the future and us more liable towards the attacks coming."

Javier huffed. "Did he go somewhere? Did he himself somehow?" There has to be a reason for this behaviour. His child could not just go feral ke that.

Everyone knew what happened to feral animals.

"Not that I am aware of," August spoke up. "I am with him all day. I did not smell any blood on him."

So they came to another dead end.

"Should we not involve witches?" Cassandra fidgeted with her hands as she spoke up. "I said the only option now is to involve them and find out what really happened."

"What if it was them?" Dylan spoke up again. It was his own hate coming up for the kind of witches that led him to speak against them. "We cannot trust them that they were not involved in this. If it comes to thinking about their greater good they would always support each other."

"Well then, what do we do?" Cassandra finally snapped, " that boy went feral today. And there is no reason for him to do so!"

"We will find it, Cassandra. Don't worry." Javier placed his hand on his mate's shoulder letting her come down first. "I think we should get the witch involved but before that we need to let our doctors find out if there was some kind of magic potion involved or not. We can find the traces of that and after that we decide where to go."

He turned to look at his unconscious son who was lying on the bed with chains wrapped around him keeping him in place.

He then addressed the beta lycan. "So now you take on—" he shook his head, "we can divide Xavier's responsibility. I am aware that you were on tour for different projects. I will handle most of his duties, is that right with you?"

Augustus nodded gratefully. " Yes, thank you, sir." Even though he was trained to take off the burden from the king a few times it was still so much that he could only do.

The second and third in command of the King left and now the parents remained in the room.

"It was horrifying to watch what happened." Cassandra whispered slowly. "I have seen Xavier get angry but that was completely different. He was not listening to any of us and I'm not even sure if he could hear us. It's like he was in a completely different place."

Javier nodded. After all he had been unfortunate enough to witness this. " I think Dylan is right. This could be the pictures for all we know Cassandra because," he licked his lips and began slowly, "you and I can even the doctors of the royal family made sure that our children were vaccinated. There is no reason for him to act like that. He seems to be possessed by something."

Cassandra rubbed her hands together. She was nervous. "Could it be the effect of him staying away from Adeline for so long?"

"I heard they were actually coming along. But who knows." He rubbed his head. This was not good at all.

His son could not go feral.
