Along with Dax and Deion, Alan led about a hundred royal warriors toward the grand square which was to the south of the capital. Fifty more soldiers were on standby, to rush over either to the palace or the scene of the attack, if need be.

But he didn't feel at ease at all. This stinked like a trap from a hundred miles away, but he couldn't ignore his duty to protect the civilians. Only everytime he closed his eyes, he would recall how dearly Micah cherished Abby, and this left him feeling torn. Dax could understand his inner turmoil, because as much as he respected his king, he also loved him like a brother and his best friend, that was also why he had been so down after letting Calpin kill him.

He would have spiraled out of control if not for his responsibility to protect Abby and her baby with Micah, because Micah wouldn't have wanted anything more than for his mate to avoid getting hurt. So while he still beat himself up for his screw-up day and night, he gave his all to support Abby in the court.

That was also why he didn't say anything when Abby sent not only both of him, even Deion to solve this matter.

"Let's get done with this soon, so we can go back to the palace and protect the queen and the prince."

But it was not as simple as he said, because the attackers weren't really at a disadvantage where the numbers were concerned, but Alan and Dax were more than capable of dealing with them.

The only factor that made things harder was this unforgiving storm, as they fought the attackers while saving the innocents.

It took them nearly four hours to grasp any barely possible control over the situation, as both sides braved the wind and rain while fighting to their full potential.

Their fur stuck to their bodies, because of the incessant rain and of course the blood of the attackers, but Alan and Dax didn't even stop for a second when their attackers pounced on them together.

With Deion's help, when the sun was about to hit the horizon, they finally managed to capture the beasts that fought like they had lost their minds, but they didn't get to take a breather when one of the soldiers rushed over to relay a piece of news. "Royal Beta Alan, some of them managed to escape," the soldier panted, dread written all over his features. "We don't know where they ran off to."

"Why are these stupid warriors even more annoying than those mindless rogues?" Dax seethed openly. He really couldn't fathom what drugs Arthur fed them until they were behaving like rogues.

Deion didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but agree with the royal gamma silently, the claw wound closing on his thigh made him grit his teeth hard, though. This was nothing compared to the wounds he sustained on the battlefield, or the night of Abby's attack.
