No One’s P.O.V.Lucifer and Albert’s minds were exploding about what Adolphus said.Everything clicked at their places within a second.He was right. The pattern was the same.“Albert, Code Silver.” Alpha Lucifer roared and, without wasting a second, ran towards the exit.This was it. A chaos erupted in the pack house and in the pack.This was a signal for everyone who wasn’t a fighter to run to their safe rooms and lock themselves there.And for the warriors and whoever can fight to secure the civilian areas first to minimize the casualties.Except for Luna Hailley, everyone ran outside the pack house.Rita ran faster than all of them. She was scared to death.“Come with me, Sylvester. There is no argument about this.” Luna Hailley commanded Sylvester, leaving no room for argument.“Why can’t I go?” Sylvester yelled, feeling frustrated and angry as hell.“Because you can be the doom of this pack.” She reasoned without any hesitation.Sylvester pursed his lips into a thin line, her an
Adolphus’ P.O.V. (Continued)All of them looked at me and I just looked at Sylvester with a stunned expression.“What he said is true, Adolphus?” Dad asked me in a stern voice.I slowly looked at him, still trying to process how he related Maddie’s casual remark about the shadow warriors to her being a shadow fighter.“She…. She mentioned them, Dad. This is true, b… but we all know that her senses are better than even yours and mine. This is not impossible for her to sense them, right?” I tried to find a reason, but I wasn’t confident about what I said.“I assure you that she is not a shadow fighter, Prince Sylvester. She has always been with any of us. She has been monitored all her life after what happened to her when she was in the Light Shadow Pack back then. So, I agree with Adolphus that she has better senses, but she can’t be a shadow fighter.”I couldn’t describe how relieved I was when Mom also supported what I said, but I felt a prick in my chest when she mentioned the incid
Adolphus’s P.O.V. (Continued)I growled angrily at his disrespect towards me.“Fix your attitude, gamma, before questioning me. Royalty or not, you are still in no position to question me,” I threatened him, forcing my authority as an alpha on him.He stiffened and lowered his eyes immediately, showing his neck in submission.“I…. I apologize, Alpha, b… but I meant no disrespect. I… I am just worried for the prince.” He replied while stammering a little in fear.“Prince Sylvester is safe and sound. My father and Beta Albert are guarding him personally. For your information, your warriors are poisoned, losing their sanity, and one of them tried to attack me a few hours ago. He was found sneaking at the alpha floor.” I told him in a stern and cold voice.He was intelligent enough to understand what it means.“We have put them in the dungeons only to keep them and others safe. They are not the prisoners, okay. As soon as any of them shows any sign of losing his sanity, he will shift to t
Adolphus’s P.O.V. (Continued)“That pup is not our concern for now, love. If he or she is really here, our parents did a good job in hiding him or her all these years. Our concern right now is our warriors. I am still trying to understand the logic of attacking warriors.” I replied to her after regaining my composure.“Let’s go, Adolphus. We need to talk to our parents. If all the warriors from both the packs are attacked, then we need to alert all the packs, especially the royal pack. If they aren’t attacked here, then someone poisoned them there.” She said to me in a calm voice.“You are right.” I mumbled and took a deep breath. I didn’t move my hands from her shoulders when she stood up.We are alone in the room right now. I didn’t know what Nathan was thinking and why he went to dungeons, but I trusted him.I kissed her forehead, trying to inhale her scent as much as I could to keep myself sane and rational.Our night was beautiful, but those morons decided to ruin it for us.The
Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“That royal warrior who was lurking at the alpha’s floor. Why was he there? If he wanted to hurt Prince Sylvester, his suite is on the other side of the corridor, not in that corridor, and that corridor has a different set of staircases. So, what was he doing outside Alpha Adolphus’ floor? Or he was at the wrong floor?” he questioned, and my eyes widened in horror.Adolphus and Maddie also stiffened immediately.Maddie was pale, but it wasn’t fear.“Maddie’s room is right below Alpha Adolphus’ suite, right?” Elvin asked anxiously this time.Adolphus growled and suddenly stood up.His instinct of comforting his mate was at peak this time, and I didn’t mind it.“Ummmm….. I think, this is serious.” Nolan spoke this time, and now I was getting impatient.They were not telling everything in one go.“Peter left a message for me around 12 that he noticed some movements around Beta’s villa. He sent three warriors there to check, but they didn’t find anything.” Nola
Nathan’s P.O.V.“We should stop sleeping or resting until they go back.” I muttered angrily while trying to relocate those shadow warriors.“Tell me something that I don’t know,” Adolphus asked with a bitter scoff.It had been three days that they are here and none of us got even a full four hours of sleep.We were exhausted and sleep deprived but keeping the pack safe for Prince Sylvester was keeping us vigilant.“We should take rest in turns. The way we have been losing our sleep, we will collapse soon,” Adolphus suggested with a grim expression.“Tell this to your parents. Only they can make a decision like this.” I scoffed and resumed reviewing the footage to find those damn Shadow Royal warriors.Finding a normal warrior isn’t a hard job but finding a shadow warrior….Synonym of impossible.They are trained from a very young age to stay hidden in shadows. They are trained to kill, not to save. They are masters in many forms of martial arts, have a good knowledge of both poisons a
