Theo’s P.O.V.
“You are just like your mother, Crystal. I not being able to save you.
m sorry:
and
your mother when you two needed me the most. I am not only a failure as a mate, but a father to you too.” The king said in a choked tone while holding Crystal in his embrace.
“That was not your fault, dad. And I really don’t have any complaints from you. Trust me,” Crystal tried to comfort him, but anyone could sense right now how heartbroken he was. He embraced her once again, and I saw tears in his eyes. “It’s okay, dad… I am glad that I finally met you, and it was the circumstances that kept us apart for this long.” Crystal continued comforting him while hiding herself in his fatherly embrace. We were inside my office right now as the king couldn’t meet her as her father in front of others.
I was also overwhelmed and could sense how overwhelmed Crystal was right now through our mate bond. She was trying to stay strong only for her biological father who was now crying in her embrace like a child. I heard a sniff beside me but didn’t look at Killian. I knew he was also overwhelmed right now. He might be a ruthless werewolf, but they were his family, and were in pain right now. “It’s okay, dad… we are together now, and I am sure that we will find her soon,” she continued saying comforting words to him while stroking his back gently. I was standing near my desk while leaning backwards at the edge of the desk. The king asked for a private conversation with me and Crystal after the lunch. Everyone. knew what Crystal said during the meeting. So, they didn’t find anything suspicious about this meeting.
The king released her after some
me and k*ssed her forehead. “You have to take a shower before coming back for the meeting, Crystal,” Killian said to Crystal in a firm tone. She nodded but wiped her face while lowering her head. “Theo,” the king called my name in a cracked tone, making me stand up straight.
“Yes, my king.” I asked him politely. “Call me, dad like Crystal, and Killian in private, son,” he asked me, and I smiled lightly. “You have to stay alert all the time until we find that b****d. We are trying our best to find out any clue about who can be that person, but,” he paused and sighed aloud helplessly. “Killian can sense any wolf and even can force a wolf to speak the truth to him. Did you try to take advantage of his ability?” Crystal asked in a hopeful tone.
death,” the king paused again when his voice cracked by mentioning her grandparents‘ death.
The anger and the agony filled my heart immediately, and I balled up my fists so tightly that I dug my nails inside my palms. I knew a few things about this alpha. of the Night Crawl Pack, Alpha Nelson, including that he was very ruthless. I didn’t know that he earned this title by killing Crystal’s grandparents. I looked at Crystal who was surprisingly calm right now. I looked at Killian, and his face was cold right now.
“Not only he killed your grandfather, but killed his brother, and his father too in order to eliminate all the threats,” the king continued, and I gasped in shock this time. How could someone kill his own father, and brother for power, and a title? How could he be so cruel?
“Your mother was heartbroken, and she confronted Nelson. At that time, she was. pregnant with Killian. That b****d asked your mother to be his chosen mate if she wanted the pack back,” he continued but gritted his teeth in anger this time. I gasped in shock this time, “What the hell?” I muttered and looked at Crystal once again, who was still trying to stay calm, but the anger was now emitting for her

In brief, we can say that Mom’s relationship with her parental pack was not good when she disappeared, right?” Crystal asked him in a calm tone, but I could feel her anger in her tone. The king sighed while nodding in agreement. At the same ane, we heard a knock on the door. The king moved away from Crystal, creating
a safe distance between them.
My father entered the room after closing the door. “They have all gathered in the meeting room, my king,” he informed the king in a respectful tone. The king nodded and looked at Crystal once again. “I want to know what’s on your mind about the problem with rogues, Crystal,” he asked her in a calm tone this time. She closed her eyes, and I slowly walked to her. I put my hands on her shoulders. from behind. Her tensed shoulders immediately relaxed under my touch. “I think we should drop this topic for now, my king. I am not sure about a few things, and without confirming them, I can’t put my theory in front of others. Give me some time, and I will explain to you everything,” she answered him in a calm tone.
He nodded and then looked at my father. “Lead the way, Alpha Sylvester,” he said to my father. He nodded, and stepped aside, giving the king space to walk towards the door. “Let’s discuss it after dinner in your room,” Killian whispered to us, and I

embrace. My office was on t
“Let’s go…. You need to take a quick shower,” I said to Crystal and almost dragged her out of the room into my the same floor as our bedroom. So, it was convenient for us to go back to our bedroom without being noticed by anyone else. Crystal didn’t utter a word, but I knew that there was a storm inside her mind. To be honest, I was still trying to figure out everything that could have happened back then.
I almost pushed her inside the bathroom, and walked to the closet to get her clothes. She closed the door behind her. After choosing the clothes for her, I walked to the bed, and put the clothes down there. “Where are you?” Nathan asked me through the mind link. “In my bedroom. Crystal had dropped something on her clothes. So, she needs to change them,” I informed him, of course telling him a lie.
“Come quickly.. the king has already taken the seat,” he ushered me, and I sighed. internally. For the time being, Killian asked us not to tell about Crystal’s real identity to anyone including my best friend. I felt guilty but this was about the safety of my mate.
“I am outside the room… come quickly,” I informed Crystal while walking out of the room. I wanted to get some information on The Night Crawl Pack, but not in front of Crystal. I remembered that we didn’t invite The Night Crawl Pack, and also that Alpha Adrian also didn’t invite him during Adam’s alpha ceremony. Alpha Nelson Rosewood was a ruthless alpha, and he had more enemies than friends in our world.
I took my phone out of my pocket and opened the search engine. I typed Alpha. Nelson Rosewood’s name, and immediately something information appeared on the screen, including his photo. I scoffed when I noticed how arrogant he was appearing in that photograph. I downloaded that photo and saved it to show Crystal later.
Whoever had put that information on the web page there must hate him from the bottom of his heart. He stated all his wrongdoings including murdering the former alpha. I raised my brows in surprise when I read that he was still unmated. He must be
in his late forties. How on earth he could still be unmated?
