The last bell rang just as Harold and Harvey arrived at Harold's chamber, both carrying Alvin. Thankfully, the head physician, whom Harold had ordered the assistant physician to fetch, was already standing outside Harold's chamber waiting for them. So immediately Harold and Harvey went in, he followed them. After gently placing Alvin on the bed, Harold sent Harvey out to stand outside with the ladies while he remained in the chamber with the head physician and Alvin. Harold said nothing as he watched…

"Prince Ivan's sword was poisoned. He cut both Alvin and Williams," Alicia explained calmly, and Paulina's eyes widened as she looked at them in horror. Her fear of Williams and his kind all forgotten now, she looked at the assistant physician and asked, "How bad is it? Will he survive? But... Alvin looks... better now, so Sir Williams should be fine since he received the antidote first, right?" she asked fearfully, and the physician frowned, wondering why a maid was questioning him. First, he had been…

Although the Queen would rather not face her brother's wrath, especially since she had been avoiding him all day, she knew she owed him an apology, and she needed him to remain on her side. Even though she was the queen, her brother was quite vicious when he was pissed, and as much as she hated to admit it, she was a little intimidated by him, especially now that Ivan had caused a lot of trouble that she had to deal with. "What are you doing here?" Her brother asked her the moment she walked into the…

As much as the queen wanted to be alone, she couldn't ignore all the ruckus going on around the palace, especially when her maid kept coming to report to her. Earlier, she had arrived at the scene just seconds after Susan slashed Ivan's leg with his sword and ordered him to tell them the name of the antidote so that both he and Williams could be treated immediately. She had watched the scene in horror as Ivan bled and cried in pain while Susan stood before him. She hadn't recognized who it was earlier…

Alicia turned to look at Paulina, who was still shaking in fear where she was seated. Unlike Alicia who had come to terms with the whole werewolf stuff because she had watched movies and read books about werewolves and vampires, Paulina had likely never heard of them before. She didn't even know they existed until that day, so she was still in shock at discovering that people could turn into wild animals, especially people she knew. Knowing that she had almost been attacked by such a creature did not do…

With everything going on in the palace, Lance's mother, in particular, could not help but be grateful that her son had returned safely. She had whisked him away to their chamber and embraced him as she cried in relief. What would she have done if he had returned in the same state as Williams or Luciana? Lance gently pushed her away in embarrassment, but she held onto his arm dearly as she broke away from the hug. "How could you leave with them without telling us?" What if Prince Harold or the witch had…

As Ivan headed for the Queen's chamber, the two guards he had sent to find the royal physician came to inform him that the royal physician was headed for Williams' chamber. Ivan turned crazy when he heard that and he changed his direction to his Uncle's chamber with the guards following closely behind him, while Luciana's father continued to go find the Queen. Ivan could handle the physician while he gives the Queen a piece of his mind. Ivan had not gone too far when he sighted the royal physician who…

The maid shook her head. "I don't know, my queen," she said, and the queen waved a hand to dismiss her. "I want to be left alone. Do not tell anyone where to find me. Let me know the moment Damian arrives," the queen ordered, and the maid bowed to her. But before she could hurry away, the Queen instructed her to inform some of her guards to follow the physician and make sure no one tries to force him into treating Luciana. Williams was her priority. Alone now, the queen stood still, looking around…

"Is it correct?" The queen asked the physician in a quiet voice, even though it was just the two of them in the library. The physician nodded sadly and bowed as he said, "I apologize, my queen, but it is indeed as we suspected. What ails his majesty is the Alpha's plight." "For how long?" She asked in a tight voice. "I suspect he has been taking it in small portions for a long time now. Over... a year now." He explained as his head went even lower. Over a year. Someone had been messing with the king's…

In her bid to be alone so as not to be disturbed by her brother or Damon, the queen hid in the royal library. Her brother's wife had brought the so-called calming tea to her earlier, as he had said she would, and she didn't need anyone to tell her what it was. She would be foolish to drink a calming tea that would knock her out when so many things were going around the palace that needed her attention. She couldn't trust Damon or any of them to handle it, so she needed to be alert. She had received the…
