Even though he was most definitely in his sixties, you could tell he was still an attractive man and much more handsome in his younger days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had short blonde hair and a perfect jawline. His body was well-fit, and he was towering tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed to the Queen’s side and completely ignored the rest of us standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fiona.\" He said this as he gently rubbed his hand over his head and set aside the hair strands. \"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave him a light smile. \"I’m fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you’re not.\" He said\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to the rest of us in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the fuck happened?\" He demanded his eyes had become blazed with fury, and you could tell he was out for blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his eyes, I could tell he was still in love with her. I am madly in love with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty, she fell ill.\" Hildegard began. \"It was one of her previous illnesses. But Loren here has taken care of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren bowed immediately, and so did I.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back to her, and she gently held his hand close to hers to pull him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine.\" She said. \"I just thought I had seen her again. That’s all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t say a word, then gently pushed a hair curl behind her ear and kissed her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t scare me like that.\" He said it affectionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held her hand to him and kissed it gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he held on to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesties, we would be on our way home.\" Loren bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king turned around. \"Thank you very much, Loren.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren bowed politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I did the same and hurried to leave because I didn’t want the king to see me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I froze in my place, even though I was almost at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You girl.\" He said. \"Come here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swallowed, knowing it was me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned around and walked up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t look shocked; in fact, I could not tell what he was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just stared at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name?\" He asked me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jasmine,\" I replied. \"Your majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you, and how did you come here?\" He asked me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stuttered, and before I could even reply, Loren came in. \"Your Majesty, she is the daughter of Alpha Bale. Alpha Xaden brought her here as an enslaved person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was unable to say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King looked at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen did, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\" She said. \"You are Alpha Bale’s daughter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded. \"Yes, my Queen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was written on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t tell what exactly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like disappointment that I was not the person she had hoped I would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He accompanies me with my work,\" Loren said. \"I’m getting very old, and I need an assistant. She has been very good to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Loren in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is he saying this about me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had he made me his assistant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King nodded. \"You may leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I curtsied and was almost about to leave when Princess Corral entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She peered over me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You.\" She said it with all malice and bitterness. \"What are you doing here again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a step back in fear of the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She domineered over me with her entire status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She came with me to deliver medicine for the Queen, Your Majesty,\" Loren said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is your business with my family?\" She demanded of me, blatantly ignoring Loren. \"You’re here to cause more harm. Someone sent you, didn’t they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Your Majesty.\" I pleaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why do I always catch you snooping around?\" She asked me to walk closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was terrified of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scared the wits out of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough corral!\" The queen said. \"She is only Alpha Bale’s daughter. She is a servant here. No one paid her to do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know that, mother?\" Corral demanded. \"And you brought in this fraud called Loren. I told you I was going to bring my healer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren became visibly upset at being called a fraud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough Corral!\" The queen snapped even though she lacked the strength to raise her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the queen fell back down weakly on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My love.\" The king said he held her to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She massaged her temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then the King glared at Corral, his eyes blazing with fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rose to his feet, and we could all beat his wolf howling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you?!\" He demanded of his daughter. \"Look what you’ve done to your mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re yelling at me!\" She said it in disbelief. \"Father me! Your daughter! You are taking the side of all these peasants! Over me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They came to help your mother.\" He said. \"You ought to be grateful to them rather than ridicule them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother always takes everyone’s side over mine!\" Corral roared. \"Ever since Scarelt’s precious daughter died, I haven’t heard the last of it! I try to help and protect my mother, but what do I get? Disgrace! Humiliation in front of some dirty peasants!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get out!\" He screamed. \"Get out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m already doing that!\" She screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that, she stormed out of the room and slammed the door hard shut behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole room shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen broke down in tears, and the King started to follow after Corral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was angry with Princess Coral; did she not see that she was hurting her innocent mother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll teach her a lesson!\" He promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The queen begged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king hovered around briefly before going to his wife’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one told Loren and me it was way past time for us to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We turned and hurried out of the room, leaving only the King and Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hildegard shut the door behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize for what happened.\" She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren nodded. \"I’ve never liked Corral.
