Panic ensued when the news broke out regarding the explosion at the royal hospital.

Immediately, the Alpha King gave a command to everyone to remain in the great hall.

​​

While King Alcyd and the royal guards will check the explosion.

As soon as the Alpha King left with the royal guards, he tasked Princess Shiveena to look after all the Alphas.

When the Alpha King has finally left the throne room, Princess Shiveena blocked the entrance and made the other guards surround the assembly.

Commotion began …

Many of the ministers and Alphas started speculating at what may have caused the explosion.

In the middle of the debacle and loud conversations of everyone …

Alpha Alister stepped forward and suggested something against the orders of their Alpha King.

"Everyone! Rather than making harmful assumptions and useless guesses … why don't we see for ourselves? What truly caused the explosion? And … just in case our Alpha King needs our help, we can offer him our assistance!" Alpha Alister suggested to everyone.

The moment Princess Shiveena heard the attempts of Alpha Alister, she immediately reminded everyone with the clear orders of their Alpha King.

Unfortunately, majority of the Alphas and ministers were convinced by the Alpha of Jade Pack.

"ENOUGH!!! The Alpha King had clear orders for everyone to stay here in the throne room. No one must disobey his …" Princess Shiveena was not able to finish her words when Alpha Alister reminded everyone with what the Alpha King said.

"If I remember it correctly, his orders were for you to ensure and guarantee our safety and protection. NOT CONFINE US INSIDE! Am I right, everyone?" Alpha Alister pointed out to Princess Shiveena.

Alpha Gerald of the Midnight Pack and Alpha Violet of the Iris Pack supported Princess Shiveena.

Showing their support for the royal family.

Making it clear for Princess Shiveena who were loyal allies and who were not.

But mostly … were in support to Alpha Alister's suggestion.

Once they began moving, the supporters of the royal family blocked the path way along with Princess Shiveena.

"Is this how you want to do it, Princess Shiveena? An unnecessary bloodshed in the throne room?" Alpha Alister's provoking questions.

Forcing the princess to surrender and give in to their requests.

Because she will only create unnecessary fight amongst Alphas and make them more suspicious if she insisted on stopping them.

"Was it the right thing to do, princess?" Alpha Violet wondered.

"I have no choice or else … there would have been death and blood on my hands. Which we cannot afford right now. In this time of war and uncertainty." Princess Shiveena answered the query of Alpha Violet.

On the other hand …

[-In the Royal Hospital-]

Screams were all over the place.

Everyone running around.

Half of the royal hospital was burning.

Patients were being secured by the medical officers.

Their priorities were the patients and wounded individuals.

One by one they were being rushed outside the hospital.

Warriors guarding Prince Alarick were all wounded and unconscious.

Prince Alarick's room was near the area of explosion.

Causing him to be disoriented as well due to the effect of the sudden explosion.

He immediately crawled out of the rubbles from his room.

Seeing that his guards were unconscious.

Instantly, Chloe became his primary concern.

When he felt Chloe's in pain.

"Chloe!" Prince Alarick called for his mate.

Struggling in searching for her due to the smoke and chaos inside the hospital.

The ceiling was about to fall on Prince Alarick.

Due to the smoke, he was not aware of the dangers of his surroundings.

*** BEFORE THE EXPLOSION ***

Chloe was checking on the medical charts of Prince Alarick and Susan.

"Ma'am I think Lady Susan is getting better now. Her tests and psychiatric evaluation are showing a lot of improvement on her." The nurse reported to Chloe.

"Thank you for the good news! Let me just check on her before I get back to the prince." Chloe told the nurse.

On her way to Susan's room, Chloe felt unusual presence in the building.

It reminded her of the things told to her by Magdeline.

Powerful witches were blessed with certain supernatural sensory abilities.

To sense danger when it is about to happen.

Knowing that she is in between the opposite ways of Susan and Prince Alarick's room.

Deciding which room she should protect first.

Chloe casted a protection bubble for the entire building.

Preventing a possible danger to happen within the premises of the hospital.

Then right before she could finish her protection spell for everyone.

Not only for her mate or her mentor … but for everyone in the building.

A huge explosion interrupted her incantation.

-BOOM!-

Before losing her consciousness, she released her last magic to protect Prince Alarick from deadly encounter.

*** Back in the Present ***

Falling from above, Prince Alarick covered his head from the debris falling above him.

In his surprise, an invisible barrier was protecting him.

He became more confused to how he survived.

Then he became more optimistic that Chloe was alive because only Chloe can do such a thing.

'She is near!'

"CHLOOOEE!!!"

"WHERE ARE YOU?"

Following the scent of his mate.

The direction he was being led to was full of flames and dead people.

"CHLOE?"

"CHLOOOEEEE?!?!" panic began to invade Prince Alarick's senses.

'She is still alive! If she died, I would have felt her death. Calm down! She is still alive! Use your head!' Prince Alarick trying to calm himself down and rationalize his own actions.

But when he walked further …

And saw Chloe covered in blood …

Unconscious.

Things went black for Prince Alarick.

Causing him to activate his demonic cursed seal.

HIS ANGER was felt all over the hospital.

A loud roar echoed all over.

…
