The Alpha Prince And His Silver Lone Wolf - Chapter 492

A day after King Alcyd’s confrontation with Laura in her private chamber.

…

[-In the Throne Room-]

The Alpha King gathered all the Alphas and ministers of his royal court.

Everyone was aware that if they were all assembled in the throne room, a decision has been made by their Alpha King.

Unlike in the royal court, they can still convince the Alpha King to deliberate on such matters.

And in the royal parliament, only the prime minister and the ministers could deliberate.

So now, contemplating on why they were all gathered in the throne room.

High anticipation was evident all over the great hall of the throne room.

“I gathered all of you here today. To announce that we have found the mastermind of the failed assassination attempt on my life and the unfortunate incident at the royal hospital which harmed innocent lives. Including the prime minister’s life, my older brother … Prince Alarick!”

Immediately, everyone began to whisper amongst themselves.

Some of the supporters of Alpha Alister and their allies noticed the absence of Alpha Alister and his Beta.

Not even Amber was around to represent the Jade Pack.

It gave them a suspicion that it may have involved the siblings.

They all wanted to complain and cause some commotion.

But the words uttered by King Alcyd shocked the entire assembly.

…

“My wife … Laura admitted all to the crimes and mishaps that happened recently to the royal family.”

A shocking revelation that sent waves of great disbelief.

Wife of the Alpha King.

Mother of the future heir to the throne.

No one could immediately grasp the thought on how Laura could do such a thing.

…

“THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!”

“We demand fair trial!”

Some of the supporters of Laura refused to believe the Alpha King.

…

But King Alcyd calmly handled the situation.

“No need for fair trial. She has admitted already to the crimes she orchestrated.” King Alcyd announced to everyone.

…

*** Flashback ***

[-In Laura’s Private Chamber-]

Seeing Amber getting apprehended by the royal guards, Laura was panicking within.

‘I CANNOT LET MY SISTER SUFFER!’

‘THIS IS MY UNDOING!’

‘WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?!?!’

‘THINK!’

…

Though, the one who could not accept Amber’s fate the most was Freya.

As Amber’s mate, Freya decided to tell the truth.

“IT’S NOT AMBER!” Freya turned around and looked at Laura.

Freya has become desperate.

Her sole priority at the moment was Amber’s safety.

“Then who if it’s not Amber?” King Alcyd demanded answers from Freya.

She hesitated for a while.

Laura lowered her gaze because she already expected for her name to be mentioned.

Instead of looking pitiful, she held her head high and remained her composure.

Mustering all her strength not to fall on her knees.

“IT’S LAURA! SHE ORCHESTRATED EVERYTHING!”

“SHE IS THE MASTERMIND OF IT ALL, NOT AMBER!”

Tears began to fall from Freya’s eyes.

Knowing that she was betraying Laura just for the sake of Amber’s life.

It shocked the royal guards and the others because they did not expect for the wife of the Alpha King to scheme such atrocity.

Princess Shiveena was speechless.

If they only knew the truth about the assassination. That it was Alpha Alister’s initiative and plan, not Laura’s.

Only the explosion of the hospital was Laura’s scheme.

And the efforts of riling up their supporters to pressure the Alpha King in declaring their unborn child as heir to the throne.

Including the enthronement of Laura as the queen.

Thus, her defeat was ensured.

“NO! IT WAS REALLY ME.” Amber insisted herself as the mastermind just to save her older sister.

It even surprised Laura more.

To witness the extreme lengths that her younger sister would do for her sake.

Remembering the promise of Amber to her when they were young.

‘I will be your shield, Laura!’

‘Whatever happens … I got your back!’

‘Siblings forever!’

Reminiscing and pondering on those words from her younger sister.

…

“Freya’s words are invalid because she is my mate! Take me … I am the mastermind of it all. I despise you! Your family members are bunch of rotten souls!” Amber tried to provoke the Alpha King and redirected his anger to her.

“NO! IT’S NOT AMBER! SHE IS INNOCENT!”

Freya cried and hysterically begged the Alpha King to let Amber go.

“Enough, Freya! Let it be … it’s unsightly to beg at someone who doesn’t deserve our respect!” Amber continued to insult and provoke King Alcyd.

It triggered Princess Shiveena.

“HOW DARE YOU!”

Before things got worse, Laura began to speak.

…

“I orchestrated it all … I gave an order to assassinate Selene. Not expecting that it will also harm my husband.” Laura took the blame for her younger brother.

To keep her younger brother alive and away from the wrath of the Alpha King.

She further elaborated, “And I also orchestrated the explosion to put the blame on Prince Alarick. Which I failed badly. Due to Magdeline’s magic tricks.”

Amber wanted to insist her name but Laura looked exhausted and an expression of surrender was painted all over her face.

“Yes, I lost. I only did it because of my love for you!”

“Love for me?” King Alcyd uttered in disgust.

He continued, “Is that the way you show your love to someone? By involving innocent ones. Discarding them as your pawns.”

Amber wanted to save her older sister but it was too late.

Because Laura has decided.

“I know I sound selfish and you may not understand my ways. But this is how I am.

She continued, “I take what is mine and what I deserve.”

…

Alcyd was infuriated at Laura’s lack of remorse with her actions.

“I AM NOT YOURS! WHEN WILL YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?”

…

Instantly, Princess Shiveena blocked her older brother’s path and reminded him to keep his cool because Laura is still pregnant with his child.

“Brother … she is still the mother of your child.”

He clenched his fist in frustration.

“Send Amber and her mate back to their wolf pack. Including Alpha Alister. While we deliberate on Laura’s punishment.”

“KEEP THIS ROOM SEALED AND ONLY PRINCESS SHIVEENA WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER.”

King Alcyd’s last instruction to the royal guards.

The royal guards immediately dragged Amber and Freya out of the room.

Leaving Laura on her own.

Defeated and alone!

…

*** End of Flashback ***

…

No one dared to complain or reason out with the Alpha King.

Because Laura’s admission was already heavy enough to prove her accountable for the crimes.

All her supporters lost hope and further reason to oppose.

“Here forth, I declare Laura as guilty for the crimes committed against the royal family and to the people of this noble kingdom. She will be imprisoned after she give birth to our child.”

“And parliament will discuss regarding my proposal for the revocation of our marri– …” King Alcyd was about to announce his intention for the revocation of his marriage with Laura.

Until someone interrupted his momentum.

“Is that how you treat the mother of your child?” Alpha Berrick remarked from the crowd.

Shifting all the attention to him.

The presence of Alpha Berrick gave another complication within the werewolf kingdom.
