In the middle of the confusion, Prince Ivan wondered.

"Who are you to stop me from talking with Selene?" Prince Ivan started to become agitated.

​​

"She doesn't know you!" Booth replied.

Prince Ivan became more confused to why Selene could not remember him.

Then things escalated.

"What did you do to her, fiends?" Prince Ivan was about to lunge an attack when he realized they were surrounded with humans.

And the emblem of a prestigious family of hunters was worn by Booth Rogers.

'Noble Hunters? Surrounding Selene?' Prince Ivan thought to himself.

Malia did not want to offend Prince Ivan from his claims and embarrass him with others.

So, she asked Freddie.

"Should I know him? Since you know a lot about my past." Query of Malia towards Freddie.

Freddie had no single encounter with Prince Ivan.

Because he did not pay any attention with the other royal members.

Though, he had a clue that Prince Ivan may be a royal member.

And it dawned on him the possibility of the identity of Prince Ivan.

Decided not to reveal it to Malia.

"I don't know him." Freddie answered Malia's query.

"If you don't know him … How did he know the name -Selene- and claim to know me in that case? That wouldn't be possible if he doesn't know me." Malia insisted.

Melody interjected, "Malia … remember, something bad happened to you when father found you. Not everyone who claims to know you, must be trusted! You need to be vigilant as well. So, let's go!"

Booth and Melody pulled Malia away from Prince Ivan.

If Booth and the others were not aware of who Prince Ivan was, the organizers and staff members felt nervous seeing how the others treated Prince Ivan.

The prince wanted to follow them but a staff member blocked his path and explained to him regarding the situation.

"I do not have time for you and this non sense." Prince Ivan was irritated.

Trying to ignore and pass through the staff member and organizers.

Freddie left behind and confronted him.

"I think you should go now. You are aware of those group of people surrounding the woman that looked like Selene. Her name is Malia, daughter of the new president of the Hunters Association." Freddie informed Prince Ivan.

He was told by Malia regarding the position and connection she has with the Vitre Family.

"If you think I would stand by and let you play this charades. You are wrong! I am a seeker of truth. And if I remember it correctly, you are one of the rogue brothers that serves my older brother. I guess I should let him know about this scheme that you are trying to pull around." Prince Ivan turned around intending to leave and inform his older brother about what he saw.

Unfortunately, the moment he turned his back.

Discreetly and swiftly, Freddie injected Prince Ivan with a strong sedative against any werewolf with added silver nitrate.

Making it a strong and dangerous substance for any werewolf.

As Freddie making it look like Prince Ivan collapsed, he caught him before completely falling to the ground.

Other organizers and staff members panicked at Prince Ivan losing consciousness out of the blue.

"Oh my God! It's Ivan he just passed out." Exclaimed by one of the staff members.

Immediately, Freddie was acting like he was volunteering to bring him to the medical tent for an urgent attention.

But in fact, he had other plans for Prince Ivan.

Due to his fear that the prince would immediately inform the Alpha King regarding his discovery, Freddie made a drastic move that may change his fate.

While carrying the unconscious prince in his arms, some of the staff members were tagging along with him.

"Just lead me to a private room." Freddie requested.

"There's no private room around! It's all occupied. We need to bring Ivan to the medical tent."

Freddie made another lie, "He has a heart problem, what he needs is emergency attention in the hospital. Not some first aid treatment in your stupid medical tent."

People were blindly following Freddie with his lies.

-Moments after-

…

…

Once they got into an ambulance to transport Prince Ivan to the nearest hospital, Freddie volunteered to bring him alone with the medical team.

Leaving the other staff members.

When Freddie noticed that the driver of the ambulance was using a shortcut which uses a dangerous route due its cliff.

From that moment he realized something.

Something evil and extreme.

"I am so sorry if I have to do this." Freddie uttered to himself.

In his desperation, he breathed deeply before knocking out the driver of the ambulance.

Losing the control of the wheel.

Freddie jumped out of the ambulance before the ambulance went directly beyond the cliff.

A horrific scene that no one would ever expect to happen.

A point of no return for Freddie.

Not looking back.

Shifted into his wolf form and left the scene.

Meanwhile …

Back in the fashion event.

[-In the dressing room-]

Both Melody and Booth were guarding the door of the dressing room.

"What are you both so worried about?" Malia wondered.

"Because you kept acting foolishly. Accepting any individual claiming to know you from the past. What if they are enemies? Those who harmed you … that caused you to lose your memories." Melody remarked.

"Melody … is right! Sometimes you also need to assess things and not immediately believe things." Booth added.

But Malia could not have it anymore with the two people close to her at the moment.

"Let's stop kidding ourselves here! You two … are just afraid that I might remember my past and have the people I cared before back into my life again. If you fear that I will leave the two of you, well you are wrong. I just want to know the truth about my past and move forward after it. Not cage myself with what if's." Malia explained.

Only silence could be heard from the two because Malia was right.

They feared for Malia's departure once remembers and find those who were part of her past.

In the middle of their silence, Miss Anderson came inside to check on Melody and Malia.

"Hey there! Is everything alright? Your performance were amazing!" Miss Anderson complimented the two.

But Malia had something more important in her mind.

"I am sorry to cut you off. I just want to ask Miss Anderson, who was the guy that approached us backstage?" Malia curiously asked.

"Oh, the fashion designer who approached you? Well … he was Ivan. A talented young designer who has been gaining a lot of attention lately in the fashion industry due to his innovative and regal designs. Rumor has it … he comes from a rich family!" Miss Anderson shared her own knowledge regarding the information about Prince Ivan.

No one knew Prince Ivan was a royalty but it became known to many people that he has rich background despite some of it left as a mystery.

Suddenly, fragments of memories flashed into Malia's mind.

Prince Ivan and her sharing laughter.

Being assisted in wearing such beautiful dress.

Walking down a certain golden stairs.

And with Prince Ivan smiling from a distance cheering for her.

It continued towards her memories when performing in front of many people as she sees the same handsome guy in her dreams smiling at her.

After her performance, the handsome guy was supposedly about to compliment her when Prince Ivan greeted and congratulated her.

'Selene! That was a great performance! You need to sing more often, girl!' Prince Ivan smiled and hugged her.

"Oh, my God! I remember some of my memories … now! That Ivan guy … is close to me as well! We know each other! Booth … get him for me, now!" Malia demanded outrightly.
