Voices came like a torrent in my sleep, and I thought I was having a nightmare. I woke up and looked at the clock. It was eight in the morning.

“Alpha,”

“Alpha”

“Alpha”, I heard eight voices at once. Qusack and Ania’s representatives were the most prominent, and I knew something was wrong.

“What is it,” I asked.

“Nikolas, you have to come quickly! The Queen is beside herself with grief! She is hysterically calling for her little boy,” Qusack said, and I gently got off the bed so I did not wake Aliana up.

“I am coming,” I linked back and hurried to sl*ip on something. I wore shorts and a T-shirt and sl*ipped out of my room.

I was quick on my feet, eager to get to my mother in time. My heart was pounding really fast. I felt the adrenaline of excitement and fear course through my veins.

Could this be what I had hoped for nineteen years? Was it possible that she was no longer feral?

I wondered what must have gone wrong to make her hysterical. Did all our efforts go down the drain? Was she worse off than she was yesterday?

Although all through the years of her on- and-off feral episodes and the final one that kept her in that state for nineteen years, she had never spoken a word, so asking for me was a huge sign of improvement.

I got to the door, and there were people there, something I had prohibited because I did not want anyone to see her.

I growled, and they all dispersed, living Qusack and the maids. The guards weren’t there.

“Where are the guards?” I asked.

“Holding her down. You know she isn’t in chains,” Qusacksaid, and I rushed in.

My mother was growling and trying to break free from the men holding her. Each guard held on to an arm, and they held on tight.

She struggled on the bed whilst sitting and seeing her suffer like this was heart-wrenching. Her eyes were shut tight, and she tried to break free with all her might.

My mother looked at me and was silent, then started growling. I wondered what had gone wrong. Her eyes were still feral, but I could see the redness fading gradually. I could not believe my eyes.

“Where is my Niko?” She asked, and I was in shock.

That was the first time she would speak to me in nineteen years.

“Where am I? Where is my son?” She asked, and it was logical that she would ask those questions, but still, I was frozen on the spot.
