~Aurora~

　　As expected, I was a different person from when I woke up from the exhaustion of yesterday's events. I felt incredibly energetic somehow. Yesterday was the day I realized I might be acting on impulse and not behaving like a leader. There was a knock on my door as I was sleeping facing my back towards it. The guard Captain was standing outside my room. I could sniff his scent.

　　With no one available to take the position of a beta for the pack, the guard captain has taken the role. I am very grateful for his contribution during tough times for our pack. I owe him the kind of peace of mind he was giving to the pack. All of the other members were shaken, post the incident from yesterday.

　　"Yes, Captain?" I opened the door for him as he sighed,

　　"Alpha Aurora,I have terrible news to bring to you..."

　　My eyes were wide in shock. The God captain rarely shows emotion outwardly. The kind of expressions he gave me suggested that the news must be terrible. After what I have gone through yesterday I don't think I can take the piece of information regardless how important it might be. However I was as curious as a cat.

　　"The palace of Whispering Pines Lycan Kingdom has been attacked by Leif Lupus. Amidst our chaos, the ambitious man somehow got the information to get into the kingdom and has been wreaking havoc on the territory." I couldn't believe what the Guard captain was talking about. Emeric could handle the situation all by himself because he is an exceptional leader. I did not know what to do at the moment.

　　Suddenly I felt regret settling in on me when I realized that my phone has been on silent and I have blocked all contact from Emeric. I have made such a dumb decision!

　　I am such an idiot.

　　"Captain, we need to rush to the kingdom. They might need us. As we have pledged alliance we have to be there for them in their toughest times. Please start preparing for the defense as darkforest pack. We will leave with our best transport within an hour. Please prepare the best men on the field as we need to rush quickly. Hurry!" Never have I ever felt regret settling in me so badly.

　　I regretted not having my doubts clear and having assumed the worst about Emeric. I couldn't imagine the damage that Leif must have imposed on the kingdom already! I need to hurry and aid Emeric the best way I can. As I was wondering about it, I couldn't stop thinking how the kingdom has provided me so much yet I offer it so little because of my own ego. I let my emotions get into the way of Justice.

　　"Everything is ready, Alpha!" the guard captain had informed me as I trusted everyone to follow my lead. I could see members of my own pack feeling depressed about the news that we received. Right when I was about to enter the car, the third elder had gotten a hold of me. There was worry written all over his face.

　　"AURORA! Are you out of your mind!? You are stepping back into enemy territory just because you owe him your training. You do not owe him for the mistakes he has made. The death of your parents cannot be reversed! Listen to us for you will be getting your choices later again."

　　" I couldn't believe anyone after what happened yesterday, elder. But today I know I must assist or at least aid The Kingdom that has given me strength and wisdom. I do not care what others think at this moment about me. All I care is that I need to go there. If anything, you can wish for my best luck because I don't think I can stop myself from going there."

　　The third elder look that may dead in the eyes.

　　" Do you really want to do this Aurora?"

　　" I just know I must do this, elder. I am sorry for disappointing you."

　　As soon as we got into the cars we speed up at full speed. We needed to reach the the plane which was being prepared for a take off to the kingdom. I just wish I wouldn't be too late. But oh well. I was not thinking about the time of travel as I was lost in my own headspace. It took us approximately one and half hours to get to the kingdom by this means of transport. We got down on top of the palace. I could send the Chaos going all around the building. People were distraught, panicking.

　　It was indeed Leif's doing! Vengeance had blinded him completely. Leif was the mastermind behind the sudden uprising against the kingdom. The rage that I had been bottling up Inside me has been directed towards Leif. But before I could confront the man who revolted against Emeric, I knew I had to find Emeric first. I was worried to death about him. Was he alright? Was he shaken by the sudden uprising?

　　I had deviated from my group and went to search for Emeric. Emeric must be somewhere near the courtroom. I can sense him with the help of my wolf.

　　'Where is he, Maia?'

　　'He is not far away from us. Keep going close but don't get yourself hurt, please.'

　　Maia had concern for me that I was very much appreciative of. As i got closer, I could hear his voice… I'm so curious!

　　Because of what I have been hearing I couldn't help but jump into the corridors.

　　I could have never guessed that Emeric must be…
