The news of the witch's capture and the death of Alpha Edu left the king and the queen flooded.

Alpha King Bowen and his entourage flew to the south to mourn with Luna Trin and to seize the witch.

Queen Sara could not physically be present to comfort Trin because her belly is already big and being on an airplane is already out of the question.

"I am truly sorry for your lost, Luna Trin.

To have lost your mate when you barely just found each other, makes me wretched as well.

Know that he is a hero. He was valiant and intelligent.

I am here to honor his sacrifice and courage.

Queen Sara has kept crying. She really wants to be here for you. " Bowen said to Trin.

Trin wiped off her nose as what the king uttered made her cry again.

"Thank you for coming this far, Alpha King Bowen.

I miss Queen Sara but I very well understand her condition.

My mate is all you've said and more. I do not know if I can live without him.

I am truly crushed. The moment I thought I found happiness, it was robbed from me again.

It was as if the Moon Goddess has a score to settle with me, but what have I done, really?

Can't life just give me a damn break!" She wept as her beta female supported her.

"You will have your justice, I promise you this. The witch who killed your mate will not live long. Once we get the information we need, she will hang at the dungeons of the royal pack." Bowen assured Trin.

The memorial and burial of Alpha Edu started and ended with pure glum and grief. Bowen flew back to the royal pack but this time with the captive.

"Why did you kill Alpha Edu," was the first question of the king as four more people gather behind him.

The witch started defensive. "I was defending myself. They attacked first. Ten wolves to one female witch! The odds were not in my favor if you look at it at my perspective." She said.

"You could have just surrendered. If you were innocent, you had nothing to fear.

Listen! We can have this the easy and fast way or the painful and long way.

It's up to you. Answer truthfully as Isolde can tell if you are lying or not.

Cooperate and I will grant you a swift death.

Either way, you will end up dead as promised to Luna Trin! " Bowen offered.

Bowen took a deep breath. "Are you working for the elder witch they called The Unseen?"

"That was years ago. He offered a good price." She answered.

"What is his name? Do you know where he is now?" Beta Adar this time, asked.

"Morvath, The Unseen! No one knows where he is. He would not be called The Unseen if he is just lying around!" She mocked and sneered. Isolde slapped her quiet and Bowen gave a warning growl.

The witch shook off her face, seeming not to like pain at all. Who does, anyway? Pride aside, she decided to be more cooperative and gracious.

"This is all I know of Morvath. He has two children.

Her eldest, a daughter, was raped and killed by three werewolves.

Like any father, he was furious and out for blood.

One rapist was high born, a royal nephew to the cousin of the then alpha king.

Morvath demanded justice but the alpha king gave a lenient punishment to the criminals.

They were injected with wolfsbane for ten nights, aiming that the pain will teach them a lesson. However, their families would sneak in lenkacea flowers to them thus making the punishment useless.

This made Morvath even more riled. He hunted the three criminals himself and gave them a gruesome death. He then spent his life honing black magic and plotting his vengeance on the royals and the werewolf kingdom.

A witch I know told me these; Morvath trained his son and daughter-in-law in black magic for years and years.

They were supposedly to carry out his mission of annihilating the royal wolves.

However, two years ago, things took a dark turn, and the same black magic that Morvath forced upon his son became the downfall of both his son and daughter-in-law, leaving his grandchildren orphans.

The children were barely five and three years old that are now in the care of a powerful witch coven.

Morvath was livid! He lost his children and blames the werewolves for this. He is out to wipe out your family, Alpha King. You better get him fast before the next one you are burying is the queen herself." The witch warned.

"Hang her! We are done here!" Bowen turned to the exit and commanded this to the jail guards.

As Bowen and his companions were heading out, he instructed his general, "prepare your warriors.

We are attacking the Sisters of the Hollow Moon Coven!

Everyone knows that's the most powerful coven.

Bring me Morvath's grandchildren, alive and unharmed!

Kill those who will stand in the way! Fail me, and I will banish you and your families! " Bowen was exasperated and impatient.

When Bowen was by the foot of the palace grand staircase, a horrifying shrill was heard!

"Ahhhhh!" The harrowing scream echoes in the halls of the palace.

Bowen and Isolde were racked with fear for it is the voice of Sara they were hearing. The entire palace was in uproar. People were running around not even knowing how to help the one screaming in pain.

When the king reached the master's bedroom, Pappy and Beta Einid were already there. Dread was all over their faces.

As Bowen's gaze fell upon the bed, red stains marred the once pristine white sheets. Sara lie in blood by her legs, screaming in excruciating pain.

"Sara!" Bowen ran to her side.

"Ahhhhhh!" She let out again. She was panting. "It is not yet time." She breathe out. "I do not feel any contractions. Help me. My babies!" Sara begged.

Bowen hurriedly but carefully carried Sara and rushed her to the royal pack hospital.

The royal doctors took over. Bowen and the rest were left suspended as they await any news about Sara and the pups.

Isolde was pacing to and from. "No! No!"

"What?" Bowen shouted, demanding an answer. His mood is downright unforgiving.

Isolde stopped to looked at him and say, "let the white wolf bleed and howl in agony." Her tears start to fall.

Bowen paled.

"You said you countered the spell!" He screamed then punched a hole in the wall.
