Bound To The Alpha King

Episode

Aurora stared at Selene without speaking while the meaning of her words slowly settled inside her mind Her own bloodline The words frightened her more than anything Black Fang had said before Keal stepped forward his expression becoming colder You said my mother was protecting Aurora from Black Fang Selene nodded I was protecting her from everyone Keal looked at her Then explain what is inside her bloodline Selene looked toward Aurora with a sadness that made Aurora uneasy Your mother was not an ordinary woman Aurora She came from the oldest royal bloodline among the werewolves Aurora shook her head My mother died when I was born Selene slowly shook her head That is what you were told Aurora felt her heart stop What are you saying Selene walked closer Your mother survived the night you were born Aurora stared at her unable to understand She survived Selene nodded But someone made sure you would never find her Keal stepped between them Who did it Selene looked at him Your father discovered the truth too late He tried to protect both of them but the Alpha Council had already made their decision Aurora's hands tightened around the silver ring What decision Selene looked directly into her eyes They wanted the Moon Crescent bloodline to disappear forever Aurora felt the silver crescent around her neck grow warm again Her wolf became restless and a strange memory flashed through her mind A woman holding her as a baby A silver crown lying beside them A man standing near a doorway Aurora gasped and grabbed her head Keal immediately turned toward her Aurora What did you see She looked at him with frightened eyes My mother I saw her Selene stepped closer What did she look like Aurora closed her eyes She was holding me She was crying and my father was there Selene's expression changed Your memory is returning Aurora opened her eyes Why was she crying Selene hesitated because she knew the next words would change everything She was saying goodbye Aurora felt tears gather in her eyes Goodbye to me Selene nodded Your father knew they were coming He knew the Council had discovered your existence He took you away that night and brought you to Moonridge Pack because he believed no one would search for the royal heir there Aurora stared at her But why would my father leave me there Why would he allow them to treat me like I was nothing Selene looked down Because he had no choice Aurora's expression hardened He could have come back Selene shook her head He tried Aurora froze Selene continued Your father returned several times but every time he came close to finding you someone moved you somewhere else Black Fang was watching the pack and the Council was watching Black Fang Keal's hands tightened into fists Then who was controlling them Selene looked toward the passage The person who controls Black Fang does not sit in a hidden room and give orders through a computer The person controls them through blood Aurora looked at her own hands What does that mean Selene answered The leader of Black Fang must belong to the royal bloodline Aurora stared at her That cannot be true Selene's eyes remained fixed on her It is true Aurora Your bloodline is not the only royal bloodline still alive Keal suddenly understood You are saying there is another heir Selene nodded There is another heir Aurora stepped backward Who Selene looked at her for a long moment Then she looked at the silver ring in Aurora's hand The ring was not meant to identify the Queen Aurora looked down confused Then what was it meant for Selene's voice became quieter It was meant to identify the person who betrayed your family Aurora looked at the inscription again The Queen is not the final piece She is the beginning Keal took the ring from her hand and examined the inside A tiny symbol appeared beneath the inscription one that had not been visible before The moment his fingers touched it the symbol glowed red Aurora immediately felt a sharp pull in the bond Keal dropped the ring onto the pedestal Selene's face became pale He has found us Keal turned toward the passage Who Selene did not answer Instead the entire underground chamber suddenly went dark A deep sound echoed from somewhere beneath the floor Aurora's silver crescent began glowing brightly and the walls around them started revealing hidden symbols One after another they formed a giant map of the city Keal stared at it Selene stepped toward the map Your father is beneath the city Aurora looked at the glowing streets Where Selene pointed toward a section beneath the oldest part of the city Beneath the abandoned Royal District Aurora's heart raced He is there Selene nodded But you cannot simply walk in and take him Keal's eyes hardened Then we make a plan Aurora looked at him No We go now Keal turned toward her Aurora Selene grabbed Aurora's arm You do not understand The Royal District has been sealed for twenty years No werewolf has entered and returned alive Aurora looked at her Then my father has been trapped there for twenty years Selene lowered her eyes Yes Aurora looked at Keal and something inside her changed The fear was still there but it was no longer stronger than her determination If my father is alive I am going to find him Keal stared at her for several seconds Then he nodded I am coming with you Aurora looked surprised You do not have to Keal answered I know But you are my mate and I will not allow you to face this alone Aurora looked away for a moment still unsure whether she could trust him completely But she knew one thing She could not abandon Elias Selene stepped toward the hidden map and touched another symbol The floor opened revealing a second passage Aurora looked into the darkness and suddenly heard a faint voice It was so faint she almost believed she imagined it Aurora whispered Dad The voice came again Aurora Selene froze Keal looked toward the darkness Elias Aurora moved forward but Keal caught her hand Wait Aurora stopped and looked at him The voice came from deeper inside the passage and then suddenly everything went silent Selene's expression changed That was not a recording Keal's eyes narrowed Then someone knows we are here A cold voice suddenly echoed through the chamber You should never have opened the tower Aurora turned toward the passage A figure appeared in the darkness wearing a silver mask Keal immediately stepped in front of Aurora The stranger slowly removed the mask and Aurora felt her entire world collapse because the face staring back at her was someone she had seen before Someone from her childhood Someone she believed had died years ago The stranger smiled at her
