Chapter 52
Ana.
“The King is gone. It’s so sad to announce the demise of my mate.” The woman covers her face with her palms and wails harder. Those who don’t know her will actually feel pity for her.
I can’t believe this b*tch.
“I loved my mate more than anything in this world” The woman hiccups wiping away her fake tears, and I watch in disgust as the mascara-stained tears run down her face. It must take her a lot of strength to act this much. She is trying to gain pity from her subjects.
I hope no one is buying her crap.
“I know I shouldn’t be doing this but I have to. Those who have been in power before, or who are still in power understand how hard and
tiresome being a leader is” One of the women surrounding her passes her tissues and she gratefully nods with consistent thank you.
Pretentious b*tch.
“So, I would like to take this chance to announce to you my companion. The mate I have chosen to help me take care of my people” The queen turns on her side and softly glances at the familiar man standing beside her.
Don’t tell me it’s him.
I know this man. I have seen him in the family photos at Leo’s mum’s house. I had inquired who he was before but it seemed to be a sore subject to Nia so I left it at that.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I want to introduce you to Andrew Knight. From now on, he will be serving you as your King” She happily exclaims, lifting the man’s hand, and you wouldn’t guess she was the one crying just now.
Everywhere becomes silent and I can see conflicted emotions in everyone’s eyes.
This is absurd.
Irush to Fred who has a shocked expression on, and I am sure he knows who that man is.
“Do you know him? ” I whisper, glancing at the TV and back at my father’s beta.
14:51
“Yes, princess,” he says signaling for the rest of the men we came with to follow him outside.
“Do you believe this? ” An older guy from the group of shadow guards asks in exasperation.
“Everything is making sense now. Turns out that Andrew and Maya were the main enemies. Justin and Leornado were just being used as pawns” Fred says, stressfully running his fingers through his hair.
“Who is he, beta?” I curiously enquire again and he sighs turning to look
at me.
“Yeah, Andrew and his family were banished from the kingdom by your grandfather. Andrew and your mum had a long history together. They were lovers before she was mated to Noah. Maya met Noah when your grandfather was still alive. And since he was pleased with Noah, he trained him as his successor”
“Andrew was the first wolf to challenge Noah for the throne. When he was defeated, the old king banished him together with his mate” We attentively listen as the beta informs us of the story.
“I don’t understand, “Jace mutters in confusion and I look at the beta with the same reaction too. I also want to know why there is a long chain of traitors against my dad. The amount of people wanting that power is just too much.
“It’s clear Andrew thought if he could win against your dad, he would be able to rightfully claim your mother as his chosen mate since her title couldn’t be replaced. So, since he was not around anymore after the defeat, they had to find pawns to cover for them until they were ready to strike” This is now making sense.
“So, since Jason was easy to lure, they chose to use him to get Maya out of the Pack in the name of kidnapping and later faked her death.” “Where has he been all these years though? ” I ask. Apart from the pictures in Nia’s house, I have never seen Andrew in person. Also, with the power the king holds, how was it not possible for him to locate her all these years?
Also, since they were mates, didn’t Dad feel the loss in the mate bond after her supposed death?
“I don’t know that son, if I did, I would have known that the woman didn’t die. However, I heard after he rejected his mate for Maya, Andrew was very careless around women. They even said to trick him, Jason used

his woman to attempt to kill him and I now understand why. They knew his plot all along and wanted to get him out of the game” Thankfully, these will be the last batch of traitors. If Mother cared even a little bit for my dada, she wouldn’t comfortably replace him in front of everyone. That is so much disrespect.
Too much greed.
At the mention of Jason’s woman, I share curious glances with Jace. Can that woman possibly be Jace’s mother? Oh! world.
“Yeah, it makes sense now. What about Leornado? Was getting back in the pack part of their plan or he had his ambition? ” I voice out my concern wondering where Leo falls in all of this. With how confident he was with his plan, made me think he would surely succeed.
I reaal wish to see his face right now.
“We don’t know about that. Right now we just need to know where these two people have been hiding. I am sure we will find the king there” Fred says and everyone nods accepting the idea.
“Well, any clues? ” One of the guards inquires and one by one, everyb*dy shakes their heads in denial.
“I will contact the witches’ coven and notify them about our visitation. Everyone should rest for today and tomorrow exactly at 6 am, we will start our journey” The beta announces with a final order.
If it were up to me, I wouldn’t waste time but in werewolves’ packs, we are obliged to follow orders from our superiors.
So, with a sad sigh, I nod walking to my mate.
Just hold on a little more Dad. Come what may, I won’t rest till I find you.
