The Alpha Prince And His Silver Lone Wolf

Chapter 493 - Calculated Moves

[-In The Throne Room-]

After the intense deliberation of King Alcyd with the Alphas and ministers, his inner circle remained.

The Alpha King's younger sister and some of his remaining executive officers contemplated on the recent events that transpired so far.

Worry and concern began to surround them.

"I must say, your plan to reveal the true mastermind was impressive." Beta Garrett gave his compliment towards the Alpha King.

"I agree! Magdeline wasn't able to get a conclusive information about the true mastermind of the crimes. They only got to gather the identity of the culprits and they were loyal warriors of the former prime minister."

Hearing this … astonished Princess Shiveena.

"You mean when we went to Laura's private chamber, there was no conclusive evidence about their involvement?" Princess Shiveena wondered.

"Yes. And your older brother, the Alpha King thought of a plan to shake them within their own fears." Theo shared to the princess.

Beta Garrett joined in the conversation, "Initially, we only planned to apprehend Amber because we wanted to interrogate her and cause panic on Alpha Alister's part. We were not sure about the involvement of Laura without any proper evidence that could link her to the crimes."

He added, "We could not comprehend the link of the former prime minister in this recent incidents. Like how it will benefit him and what was his motives behind it. Until, your older brother decided to pull the truth out of them through decisive calculations."

"And it paid off big time!" Princess Shiveena told the executive officers of King Alcyd.

She continued expressing her thoughts about the things that transpired recently.

"It really did surprise me. From Freya's relationship with Amber to Laura's confession. It was all shocking. But somehow, I wasn't surprised to know how scheming she can be."

The other two nodded along with Princess Shiveena.

While they were exchanging their thoughts, the Alpha King was deep in his own thoughts.

'Are you also wondering what Selene's father is up to now?' the spirit wolf of the Alpha King said to him.

'We already granted his request to re-establish and register his original wolf pack, Silver Aurora Pack. But why do I sense hostility from him?' King Alcyd expressed his doubts and worry regarding Selene's father.

'Can you blame Alpha Berrick? Your father was the reason of the death of his mate, the mother of Selene. And those he cared for. Your father even killed your own mother. Would you easily get along with the family of the man who killed your wife?' Kratos asked the Alpha King.

It made sense to King Alcyd.

'You are right! The look in his eyes were … full of hatred towards me and Shiveena. Such despise and anger!' 



"Big Brother! Are you alright?" Princess Shiveena tried to get the attention of her older brother.

"Is there something bothering you?" Beta Garret showed his concern towards the Alpha King.

All of them looked at King Alcyd with worry.

"I was just contemplating on the words of Alpha Berrick. Selene's father raised such issue about how Laura should be punished. Majority of the Alphas agreed with him. Which compelled me to loosen the punishment I intended for her." 

He clenched his fist in frustration because he could not punish Laura the way he wanted her to be punished.

"It shows how influential he can be. And how the dynamics amongst the ministers and Alphas have drastically changed with his presence." Theo shared his own observation.

"I fear that the opposition may use this opportunity to pit him against the royal family. If Selene has forgiven the royal family for the crime that the former Alpha King did to her family. Her father may not be as forgiving as Selene was." King Alcyd emphasized the complication of the situation regarding Alpha Berrick.

"You mean … he is out for vengeance? We did not do anything wrong to him or to his family!" Princess Shiveena conveyed her thoughts to her older brother.

"But we are the children of the murderer of his wife and wolf pack. With our father nowhere to be found. We are his only access to relieve himself from all that hatred he has inside." King Alcyd explained to his younger sister.

"Then why did you approve for his request and accepted his recommendation during the assembly?" Princess Shiveena was confused with her older brother's actions.

"I want to show him that we are different from our father. That our father's sins is not for us to bear. And most importantly, he is Selene's father." 

"WE CANNOT TRUST HIM BIG BROTHER! HE WOULD OBVIOUSLY WANT TO SEE US GONE!" Princess Shiveena raised her voice.

"Don't worry … if he wants to play mind games with us, I can play it with him. Maybe even better. So I can prove my worth to his daughter. And just maybe … he could see how different we are from our father."

Then Garrett pointed out something which Alcyd had in mind as well.

"Keeping your allies close and your enemies closer." 

"Let's hope that he is an ally rather than an enemy." King Alcyd told everyone.

Meanwhile …

[-In Jade Pack Territory-]

Since they were sent back to their wolf pack.

The siblings of Laura and Freya were punished to be detained in their own territory.

Preventing them to leave their own borders and was no longer allowed to participate nor appear in official proceedings in the royal parliament and royal court.



Amber and Freya spent most of their times meditating in the pavilion near the huge pond owned by their wolf pack.

Her younger brother went to see her and expressed his frustrations.

"WHY ARE WE DOING NOTHING HERE?" Alpha Alister wondered.

Pacing back and forth while asking his older sister.

He wanted to take revenge and kill the Alpha King for the humiliation and misery he has put them into.

Mostly to their eldest sister, Laura.

"Alister … enough already! Let's accept our defeat and we can no longer do anything about it. Laura has decided to surrender already. She knew that your life will be at risk if she pursued her schemes. And we would have lost you if the Alpha King punished you to your death."

Alpha Alister could not accept such outcome.

Before they could argue further.

Someone else arrived, uninvited.

Instantly, Freya released a powerful energy blast towards the man whose face was covered with blue mask.

The masked man easily evaded the powerful energy blast with his speed.

Suddenly appearing behind Freya in a blink of an eye.

"Is this how you welcome your guests?" 

Revealing himself through the removal of his mask.





"Alpha Berrick?" Amber uttered in surprise.
