Chapter 28
THE SOUND OF COMMOTION jolted Helga awake, her body immediately on high alert as she heard a scream. She leaped out of bed and grabbed her shawl before rushing outside, causing the two guards stationed outside her chambers to be taken aback by her sudden appearance. "Your Majesty, Good afternoon." they both greeted, earning a forced smile from her. Hearing them address her like that felt awkward and weird to her, but she didn't let it bother her as her mind was still occupied with the scream she had heard moments ago. "Good afternoon, what's happening? What was that noise?" she asked anxiously, clutching the fabric of the shawl tightly against her chest. "Uhm, the traitors had been caught one of them answered which made her ey
"Really?
Where are they? I need to see what's happening. Her voice was filled with concern as she stepped out of her lavish chambers, quietly closing the ornate door behind her. The guards, who had been standing dutifully outside her room, immediately sprang into action and escorted her down the grand staircase. As she descended, she caught sight of the commotion below, the Alpha King and other high-ranking members of the royal pack were gathered in the main hall. There were two maids, one royal guard, and one kitchen staff who was on their knees, begging for mercy. She bit her lip and when she got closer, she caught Siegren's attention. He turned around to face her, his expression stern and disapproving. She stood before him in nothing but a simple nightgown and shawl, feeling exposed under his intense gaze. Though it covered her body modestly, Siegren still didn't like her showing with lack of proper attire, especially in such a public setting where other men could see her. "Your Majesty," belga said with a worsed expression etched on her face. However, it disappeared when Siegren took off his blazer and draped it over her shoulders.

told me that the traitors were caught," she answered, glancing at the servants. Each one was gasping for air, their faces drenched in sweat and tears rolling down their cheeks. "Your intuition was correct; the previous candidates for the Queen Luna position were killed." Siegren let out a heavy sigh before gesturing to the guards to take the three servants to the dungeon. He turned back to Helga and motioned for her to follow him, saying, "Let's continue this discussion in my study." "David, handle things here and ensure that the traitors do not harm themselves. The commanding tone in the Alpha voice caused fear to spread among the traitors and those present with them. Helga took a deep breath and looked at them one final time before heading up the stairs to follow Siegren into his study.
"Were they responsible for the death of the previous candidates she asked as soon as they entered the room, closing the doors behind her.
"That's right," He let out a heavy sigh and settled into his chair, while Helga chose to sit on the sofa, keeping her gaze fixed on the Alpha King. She felt relieved that he didn't reject her this time and instead allowed her to know the truth of what was going on. "They claimed that they were just following the orders of sister.

"Your sister?" Helga's eyebrows furrowed in confusion at the mention of his sister. As far as she knew, The Alpha King was the only living royal. She hadn't seen any members of his family since arriving at the palace, not even at their wedding yesterday. "But I thought she died in a car accident with the previous Alpha King?"
"That's common knowledge," Siegren stated. "But my sister managed to survive, and her resentment towards the royal family only intensified because of it."
"M-May I know what exactly happened?" Helga asked cautiously. Despite the news of the previous Alpha King's death and the princess being published in the newspaper four years ago, there were still many unanswered questions surrounding their fate. No one knew exactly what had happened, where they were headed, or if their deaths were truly accidental.

truth, Siegren explained the mixture of guilt a
Siegren tapped his finger on the table, contemplating whether to disclose the full story to Helga or keep her in the dark. But when he recalled her disapproving gaze and sincere words of disappointment, he couldn't help but trust her, especially since she was already a part of his life. "Growing up, my sister and I had a strong bond. Our mother passed away after giving birth to her, leaving me to take care of her from a young age, especially since there was quite an age gap between us," Helga was taken aback when Siegren began opening up about her relationship with his sister. She expected him to keep things vague, but he seemed willing to share more with her. So, she listened intently to his words. "When Sierra reached 18 years old, our father arranged for her to marry an Alpha from a nearby country. I was too preoccupied with my studies and preparations to take over the throne, had no idea what was going on. It wasn't until after the accident that I discovered the and regret evident on his face, "It turned out, my father had taken Sierra by force to the pier to meet her future husband when the accident occurred." "I assumed she had died, along with the car that was engulfed in dames. Bural ended to the throne, a letter arrived from her. I felt relieved to learn that she was still alive, but her words were filled with hatred towards our royal lineage. especially me because I failed to protect her ther like I promised. Looking back, she she had warned me not to follow in our father's footsteps, but I brushed off her advice and proceeded with the Liina Selection after a year." Siegen let out a deep sigh. It It hadn't t even occurred to I to him that has own sister could be responsible for the deaths of the previous candidates. When the traitors were apprehended and he demanded they tell the truth, his mind was at a loss. He couldn't understand why someone who didn't want the royal bloodline to continue wouldn't just target him directly: instead, they went after the she-wolves he was planning to marry. But when he discovered that his sister was behind it all, it suddenly made perfect sense-she had resented him and wanted him to suffer for not taking her opinions seriously. "Where is she now
is she now?" Helga inquired, feeling a mix of emotions after learning the truth. Despite her sister-in-law's role in the attack and attempt on her life, Helga couldn't bring herself to fully hate or blame her. While she didn't condone her actions, she could empathize with her hatred towards their bloodline. However, the princess must still face the consequences of her crime. The innocent she-wolves who lost their lives deserved justice after all. And her life is still at risk because the mastermind wasn't caught yet. "I have no idea, I tried to find her a couple of times, but she was always one step ahead of me and knew how to cover her tracks. Siegren's hand ran through his hair in frustration as he spoke, "Now that I know she's responsible for all of this, I need to track her down before she can cause even more harm "So, now that you know what really happened, you can go back to your chambers," he added, looking at her with a stern expression. Helga pursed her lips and clutched the blazer he had placed on her shoulder earlier before nodding in understanding, realizing that he did not want to spend any more time with her than necessary. "Even if the traitors were caught, you'll still be protected by the royal guard anywhere you go." "I understand," she said I before standing up and bowing. "Thank you for opening up to me, Your Majesty."
She turned and exited his study, making her way back to her own room where she collapsed onto her bed. A wave of exhaustion and frustration washed over her, leaving her feeling unmotivated to do anything. She let out a heavy sigh and gazed at the glimmering wedding ring on on her finger. No matter where she went, it seemed that complications and dangers. always followed her. She couldn't escape them no matter how hard she tried and it's funny how she was starting to get used to it, enough for her not to fear the threat in her life anymore. It was as though she had accepted her fate. "Maybe I'm destined to live unpeaceable after all" she muttered to herself, scoffing. She then turned over onto her side, facing the balcony, and removed the blazer on her shoulder. Absent-mindedly, she brought it to her nose and inhaled. deeply but she didn't catch any scent aside from the perfume.
As she closed her eyes, the Alpha King scent filled her with calmness. But when a knock interrupted her thoughts, she snapped back to reality and placed the blazer neatly on top of the bed.
"Queen Luna, it's me, Miguel, the butler announced, "His Majesty had asked for lunch to be prepared for you since you had overslept. Do you want me to bring the food here or will you come down to the dining hall yourself?"
Helga stands up from the bed and walks over to the door, opening it to reveal the butler waiting patiently outside.

11 just get ready and come down myself. Thank you," she answered politely, and the butler nodded. He was afraid that she would conline herself because of what was happening inside the palace, but he was relieved to see that she wasn't doing so. "Very well," he replied with a smile. He gave a small bow before excusing himself, but then he remembered something crucial so, he quickly stopped in his tracks and turned back to face Helga, who was in the process of closing the door. "Your Majesty, I apologize for forgetting to mention something important." "Hmm? What is it?" Helga raised both her brows; confusion etched on her face when the butler's face became serious,
"I just wanted to remind you of an important rule in the palace, he said, adding to Helga's confusion. "Please refrain from leaving your chambers during tomorrow's full moon; I can't tell you wet, but it is for your own safety."
