Alpha.* Davies called repeatedly after not hearing any response from Rufus. *Take everyone inside the palace to safety, I'll be right there.* Rufus swallowed hard as he hurried to his wardrobe, his footsteps heavy as he grabbed a hood and cut off the mind link."Is everything okay?" Selena's voice calmly sounded. "The palace is on fire, and one of my elders has been kidnapped." Rufus stopped in front of Selena and kissed her deeply before pulling away. "I need to go. Don’t let Angela leave the house. The house is secure; Lillian made sure of that before she left." Rufus rushed the words out as he dashed out of the room, leaving Selena no time to reply.

Writer's POV As Rufus stepped out of the chapel, he could hear the voices outside growing louder. "Is that a green hood with Nightfall pack symbols?""That’s definitely the Alpha under that hood.""Could it really be him?""It’s him, alright. Hiding behind that hood shows just how weak you are; you can’t lead us anymore.""We don’t want an Alpha who hides behind a hood.""Don’t assume the throne is yours just because your father was an Alpha.""We don’t want you; it’s time for you to step down."Rufus tightened his grip, choosing to ignore the small crowd as he made his way to the King’s quarters, a place untouched by the Alpha's presence.With a loud bang, he slammed the door behind him.Upon entering, he hurled his sword onto the table, the impact echoing through the room.Davies, who had just walked in, barely dodged the flying sword.Unfazed, he picked it up, walked over calmly, and placed it back on the table.Rufus, fists clenched, suddenly raised his sword and brought it down

I know this isn't what you want, but your little sister's life hangs in the balance. My men are with her, and if you fail, they'll take your sister's life and send you her head.

Writer's POV Today was the day of the sword fight between the Alpha behind the hoods and Derek, the eldest son of Elder Wealth. In less than three hours, it would all begin. Rufus stood by the window, sword in hand, lost in thought as he stared at it. A chill ran through him, and he couldn't quite understand why. Even his wolf, Eclipse, sensed the coldness. *Dude, do you feel that chill too?* Eclipse's voice echoed in Rufus's mind, but he didn’t reply. His eyes remained glued to the sword until the head maid entered with his meal. She walked in, head down, clearly trying to mask her nervousness. Her hands trembled slightly. "Your meal..." she said, bowing. Rufus didn’t even glance her way, still lost in his thoughts. "I'm not eating..." he suddenly declared, causing her heart to race.
