[-In the Main Office of the mansion-]

Lady Sonja made sure that no one was around except for Beta Garrett and Oliver with Georgie being interrogated by the two.

​​

The chief-of-staff was already informed about the situation that's why she remained silent to let Beta Garrett assess the situation on his own.

"Wait … Wait … You mean Prince Ivan was attacked? But he is in the city of humans. How could a supernatural being dare step into the city of humans and cause something as big as this? It's a common knowledge to avoid the attention from any hunters." Oliver was clearly confused.

While Beta Garrett remained silent listening and assessing the information being shared by Georgie.

"Well … Chloe tasked me to tail on my older brother secretly. Just in case he does something beyond our control. I was given the mission to stop him from any stupid decisions that may risk the kingdom and himself. Somehow, we felt responsible for his own safety too."

He continued, "Until …"

"Until what?" Beta Garrett asked.

"I wanted approach him when I saw him in this big event with the humans. He was already holding Prince Ivan in his arms. So I have no idea what caused it. But one thing I am sure. My older brother jumped out from the ambulance while the prince was inside. Instead of confronting my older brother, my instinct was to make sure Prince Ivan survives." Georgie explained himself.

"And then what?"

"When I saw the ambulance in fell to the cliff, I rushed to save Prince Ivan. Good thing, Chloe gave me an amulet to activate once there is a great need for it. So to the rescue, Magdeline appeared with Chloe and saved Prince Ivan." Georgie elaborated.

"But why do you need to hide …" Oliver wanted to ask further until he realized the involvement of Freddie.

"Don't tell me!" Beta Garrett exclaimed.

"Look! Prince Ivan is alive but when I left the royal palace … he was still unconscious. But Chloe told me to hide while things are still unclear with Prince Ivan. Because once Prince Ivan wakes up and reveals the truth behind the involvement of Freddie in his mishap. The entire royal family would want me in prison or use me as leverage to lure out Freddie." Georgie divulged.

Beta Garrett nodded along with the words of Georgie.

"You are right! The royal family will not be forgiving once Prince Ivan reveals the involvement of Freddie. But the question is … why would he do that to a member of the royal family? What is his motives?" Beta Garrett pointed out.

Georgie shook his head in oblivious.

"I really don't know what made him do such a thing. One thing for sure … He has abandoned his mission to find Fluffy and went totally on his own. I intend to find out but I am leaving that to Chloe. My main priority right now is not to get caught by the royal family." Georgie expressed his thoughts.

But Oliver was not happy at the entire situation.

"So you are telling us … we will help you from hiding? And go against the royal family themselves?" Oliver was displeased.

Instead of jumping into conclusions, Beta Garrett sympathized with Georgie.

"Oliver, calm down!" Beta Garrett reprimanded Oliver.

"All I am asking is a sanctuary while things are still unclear. I do not want to involve myself from the conflict which my brother created. I am tired fixing his mess. Selene is no longer here to protect me so I humbly ask. Please help me! The royal family will go looking for me once Prince Ivan reveals the involvement of my older brother." Georgie requested and begged for safe haven.

A sanctuary under the protection of Beta Garrett.

"It is only the right thing to do! We will keep Georgie sheltered to avoid any impulsive decisions and actions done by the royal family. If I understand it correctly, Georgie saved Prince Ivan and it's enough to give him the shelter and protection until things are cleared out. Definitely, the rise of Prince Ivan will clear a lot of things. But definitely, if he does reveal the involvement and misdeeds of Freddie. Even the Alpha King will make sure that Freddie will get punished for his attempt on the life of a royalty."

"Thank you, Beta Garrett!" Georgie was grateful to the benevolence and mercy of Beta Garrett.

"Oliver! This is a direct order from me. You will keep this a secret and keep Georgie safe. We do not persecute the innocent ones. Remember that! Do you understand?" Beta Garrett gave a direct command.

"Yes, Beta! I understand … I will obey to your command." Oliver reassured his obedience and compliance to his Beta.

"My only worry is … What will Alcyd do? Once he finds out the involvement and treachery of Freddie." Beta Garrett wondered.

"If I am not mistaken, before I left the royal palace. The Alpha King went to meet with the current members of the Altum Council. According to Magdeline, there will be a reform and new policies will be discussed with the other members of the Altum Council. In lieu with the current outbreak with vampires and the detachment of the Altum Council from the war of the werewolves." Georgie shared his information regarding the query of Beta Garrett.

"Thanks, Georgie! Lady Sonja, kindly make sure Georgie is kept safe and hidden. And Oliver make sure Georgie is protected under our care. Is everything clear?" Beta Garrett reiterated his instructions.

Both responded in unison, "Yes, Beta!"

Everyone moved along, leaving Beta Garrett alone in the main office with his own thoughts.

As Beta Garrett wondered to what made Freddie harm Prince Ivan to such extent in abandoning his fealty towards the Alpha King.

The mate of his late best friend, Selene!

…

…

Meanwhile,

In the royal hospital.

"Shiveena, have you sent a message already to the envoy of Alcyd? Informing him about the condition of Ivan." Prince Alarick asked his younger sister.

As they made their way towards Prince Ivan, who was being kept under the care of Chloe and Susan.

"Yes, I already did. I also sent a messenger to Ranku's residence. Who would do such a thing, brother? Dare such a thing to harm a member of the royal family." Princess Shiveena wondered.

"We will find out soon. And we will make sure whoever did this will get punished … by death!" Prince Alarick declared.
