CHAPTER FORTY-SEVENAttack On The PrinceIt was late in the night, and the forest exuded an eerie darkness that seemed to swallow any trace of light. The moon's feeble glow filtered through the dense canopy of towering trees, casting eerie shadows on the forest floor. The atmosphere was thick with an unsettling silence, broken only by the rustling of leaves and the distant hooting of owls.Despite the intimidating aura of the forest, Ashier summoned all his courage to remain composed. He knew that fear could cloud his judgment and hinder his search for Blair. With every step he took, he fought against the rising anxiety, determined to stay focused on his mission.His senses were heightened as he cautiously moved through the tangled undergrowth.

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHTNo Way OutAshier found himself caught in a tumultuous whirlwind of emotions, torn between conflicting impulses. He glanced back and forth between the fallen Prince Theo and Blair, the woman he loved, both demanding his attention and a decision to be made.His heart ached with the weight of the situation. While he despised Theo for his actions, he couldn't ignore the sight of the prince gasping for breath, his life hanging in the balance. Ashier's instincts urged him to help, to provide aid to someone in need, regardless of their transgressions.Kneeling beside Theo, Ashier felt a surge of empathy for his fellow human being. He acknowledged the severity of the prince's injuries and the potential consequences of his own actions. The pool of blood expanding beneath Theo painted a grim picture, reminding Ashier of the fragility of life.Yet, as he glanced back at Blair, her fear-stricken eyes pleading for his decision, Ashier understood the urgency of their escape.

CHAPTER FORTY-NINEHurt. Blood. FearAs the guards closed in, their faces stern and their movements swift, Ashier instinctively positioned himself between Blair and their assailants. With a protective resolve etched on his features, he urged Blair to stay calm, assuring her that he would shield her from harm.“Stay right behind me, I will do whatever it takes to protect you.”Blair nodded and did as she was told, she didn’t know why he was always there to save her, but that was something to think about later.With a sudden surge, the guards lunged at Ashier, their intentions clear in their aggressive movements.

CHAPTER FIFTYThe Alpha King’s MateBlair's hands trembled as she held onto Ashier's injured hand, her eyes filled with worry and desperation. She scanned their surroundings, hoping for a glimmer of inspiration or a sign of help, but her mind remained blank, unable to formulate a clear plan.With a shaky voice, Blair whispered, "Can.. Can you walk? We need to find help." She gazed into his eyes, seeking any indication that he could move and they could continue their search for assistance. However, Ashier's response was faint, and Blair's heart sank further, overwhelmed by the uncertainty of the situation.Fear gripped her once again, rendering her momentarily frozen. The sight of Ashier's worsening condition and his inability to offer reassurance fueled her panic.

She reached deep within herself,
CHAPTER FIFTY-ONEOut Of The ForestAlisha's gaze remained fixed on Blair's palm, studying it intently for several minutes. Her eyes held a mixture of astonishment and concern as she tried to discern the truth hidden within the lines etched on Blair's hand. Finally, she looked up at Blair, her expression filled with a mix of shock and disbelief.Gasping softly, Alisha hesitated for a moment before she spoke, her voice carrying a weight of revelation. "Blair... you are the Alpha King's mate. It's... it's unheard of, a taboo. You're human, and in our world, such a union is deemed impossible, unacceptable. You won't be accepted as Ashier's mate, not by me, not by anyone in the kingdom." Alisha shook her head, still unable to believe that a weak human like her was the mate of a very powerful alpha king.Blair's heart sank, her mind swirling with a mix of emotions. She had always felt like an outsider in this mysterious world, struggling to understand its customs and intricacies. Now, face
CHAPTER FIFTY-TWOCapturedGamma Fred sprinted through the dimly lit hallways of the neighboring pack's palace, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew the gravity of the situation and the consequences he would face if caught by the guards.

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREEThe Alliance 2Nora and Gamma Fred, their hands bound and their fate sealed, were forcibly taken by the guards. The grip on their arms was tight, leaving no room for resistance as they were dragged away from the safety of the room. Nora's pleas and cries for mercy fell on deaf ears as she tried desperately to convince the guards of her innocence."Please, I don't know anything about how the prince was hurt! We should be let go!" Nora's voice trembled with a mix of fear and desperation as she continued to plead her case. But her words seemed to only further incite the guards, who remained resolute in their duty.The guards, unmoved by Nora's protests, continued their relentless march, their shouts drowning out her pleas.

She had hoped for better news, but her heart sank when the physician began to explain the severity of Ashier's condition. The physician revealed that Ashier had lost a significant amount of blood, more than they had initially realized. The physician expressed disappointment that the message sent by the earlier physician hadn't conveyed the gravity of the situation.Turning to Alisha, the Royal physician spoke with a grave tone. "The alpha king has weakened significantly due to the blood loss. He must receive adequate rest and care to regain his strength." Alisha nodded, her con
