We were ushered to the royal wing of the palace. King Fredrick said they should take my mother to her old room. I felt it was cruel what he did. Treating his sister the way he did was uncalled for. I also wondered if the joke was on me and if everyone knew her story.

Was that why King Aleksander couldn’t look at her and tried to stop Fredrick from talking about her past?

I wasn’t mad at Fredrick because he used his only weapon to completely disqualify me from inheriting a crown. I blamed my mother solely for what happened at the committee.

I was glad I came with her, or I would have thought Fredrick was telling lies.

She had ample time to tell me all that her brother said. Instead, she was busy trying to get rid of Aliana and complaining about betrayal.

I doubt my relationship with her would be the same again.

Had I not fought and conquered Forest, Gabriel wouldn’t have been able to hand over to me because Fredrick would have discredited me regardless.

The only thing that still gave me power was that I had conquered Forest. An heir or not, I owned the region. The only issue now was as long as I had no crown, Fredrick and Aleksander would be above me, and I must obey the unity law my father helped install. It was messed up.

My mother’s silence and secrets had complicated things for me now. It seemed eyes would be on me henceforth.

How would I manage with Aliana?

I kicked the bed out of frustration. I felt like growling because I had been backed into a corner. Fulfilling the requirements of the unity law will be challenging because it would mean that I would have to be mean to the werewolves.

Honestly, I couldn’t hate the weres at this point.

This was my mother’s fault. Had she been honest, I would have strategised better.

I growled and tried to release my rage. I wished Aliana was with me to help me calm down. She had that effect on me.

Aliana was supportive, but I could not bear to be away from her. I did not know how long this thing would take. One thing was sure, I did not plan to marry a lycan to get ahead.
