Chapter 63

Freya Camilla was so strong that she managed to get over the incident quickly. I know because I can see how her face lights up as she sits beside her mate. I couldn't believe that something like that happened, and I never thought that we would find her alive and well. Thanks to the moon goddess for her guidance and care. Alec holds her hand and never wants to let it go. We are now in the king's office with everyone, and we decided not to let the advisors or councils know about what happened. Rapha and Matteo didn't kill the last two rogues they fought with, since they wanted to know more about the mastermind of the kidnapping. 'Are you alright, dear?" King Marco asked Camilla. She nodded her head, smiling. 'Yes, Your Highness. Thank you for asking." 'It must be traumatizing for you. I hope that they have never done enough damage for you to be broken inside and out," he replied. 'They didn't do anything to me; I pretended to be unconscious the whole time, and they were planning on using me to get to my uncle," she told him. 'What do you mean?" 'Your Highness, they were planning to force Uncle Rapha to join them. Since I am his only family, they thought that if they kept me hostage, they would be able to make him agree." 'They must be dreaming," Rapha said. 'Don't take it to heart, my dear. You know that I love you like a child. But you also know that our family has been loyal and very supportive of the royals and the palace. I always think of ways to get you without agreeing to them," he added. 'I know that. But I still try to make an escape plan, since I know that it will be very difficult for you. I didn't want you to suffer for making such a decision because of me," she replied. 'How did whoever it was who took you manage to get you?" I asked curiously. 'Was Eunice there?" I added. 'I don't know either. All I can remember is that I told Alec that I was going to get your laundry to bring it to the omegas. After that, nothing." 'If Eunice's scent was there, we can say that her father, Ronaldo, was involved in this as well." It was Matteo. Then he looked at me. 'Do you think he was the one that your parents met when you came here before?" he added. 'I don't think so. I would know if it was him. But he has a beard." I replied, and then everyone looked at me and then at each other. 'Is there something wrong with what I said?" 'What do you mean he has a beard?" Matteo asked, 'He has a beard. I remember that the one mom and dad talked with was a man without a beard." 'Ronaldo has no beard." King Marco said, 'I have seen him a few times, and I never saw him without it," I replied, 'He had no beard; he hates it, so he always shaves it." Matteo said, 'That's according to Eunice," he added, so I creased my forehead at him. 'That's before I met you, baby." I don't understand why I see Ronaldo differently, then it hits me. 'Alec, Clay, have you seen Ronaldo?" I asked, and they both nodded. 'And?" 'He has a beard," they both answered. 'Are you three under some spell or what?" Rapha asked, and we looked at each other. 'You're under a spell?" 'Wait, for anyone to recognize him, he cast a spell on them?" Camilla asked, 'It's the other way around, I think," the king replied, and we looked at him. 'I think he cast it to himself that whoever sees him will see him differently. I mean, if you don't live in the palace, You will be seeing him like Freya and the others saw him." 'That's possible; I remember Eunice telling me that her mother was a witch," Matteo said again, which annoyed me, so I couldn't help but growl at him. 'Baby, I was just sharing the information," he said, holding my hand. I saw Camilla laughing with Alec, so I rolled my eyes at them. 'Since Ronaldo is our number one culprit, we have to be careful because he has a lot of police people who support him. He may have taken Camilla because he was certain that he would never get Rapha on his side." King Marco said, 'Is it possible that he was in connivance with Uncle?" Matteo asked, 'I don't know, but I hope not. If that is the case, then it was possible that he had already sold the palace to him and he already had the upper hand, since he probably knew everything." King Marco replied, and I agreed with him. ‘Frey, are you going to be alright?' Pi asked, ‘Of course, don't worry about me. We will be able to get them sooner or later.' I replied confidently. One thing I am sure of is that I know that she's with me no matter what and that I am stronger than I think. Matteo alone can motivate me. What if there were a lot of them who believed in me? Matteo's uncle might be strong, but together, we are stronger. 'Since we have some idea about our enemy, I would like everyone to be prepared." King Marco said, 'Matteo and Freya will go back to the Crimson Pack and help them. Calvin called and reported that the training had started and he saw potential in them. The report about the mail every pack received from an unknown palace official has been investigated now, and I am going to include Ronaldo as one of the suspects as well," he added. 'When do you want us to go back there?" Matteo asked. 'You can go there the day after tomorrow. Bring Alec and Clay with you." The king replied, 'You won't be staying long in there, so make sure to give them the support and help they need. We will provide a warrior for every pack who will be our representative. They can tell them whatever they want to tell us, and those warriors will report to the palace. I am going to assign Rapha to that." he continued. 'Yes, Your Highness," Rapha replied, 'As for the princess, you need to take care of yourself and be cautious all the time. They took Camilla from inside the palace, so it wasn't impossible to get you either." 'I understand." 'Alec, Clay, and James will be coming with you wherever you go, even if Matteo is around. I didn't want to give our enemies any chances or a hole in our defense. Make sure that every warrior and fighter is fit to fight all the time. And last but not least, Matteo, you will be visiting from one region to another or one pack after the other with Freya and her guards. As much as possible, we will try to make your schedule different every day so we can prevent our enemies from making a concrete plan on how they can take you down." 'Yes, Your Highness," we all replied. 'Camilla, dear," he said and looked at her. 'I didn't want to risk you here either, so you will be coming with them. Since I am sure that your mate will be more proactive if you're together, 'Thank you, your highness," Camilla replied, smiling. 'When all of you are busy, our enemies will wonder about what we are doing. I am free to do anything since I don't have to think about my niece getting into any danger." Rapha said, 'This will wrap up our meeting; make sure that you are all ready when you leave." King Marco said, 'And Matteo, I am going to call you for your next assignment," he added. We all stood up and went to our respective duties. As the Luna and Princess, I have to look into the palace schools. Since I am going to be away for a long time, I guess I will have to make sure that their needs are properly taken care of. 'Good morning, Your Highness!" The pups greeted me. I smiled when I saw them looking so happy and carefree. It was really nice to be their age. They never think about what is going on or what is to come. 'I think they are excited to see their princess," Camilla said, and I smiled at her because I agreed with her. I often hear them talking about how much they want me to visit the school. 'How are my pups?" I asked when they were all seated. "Great!" they said all together. 'Did you listen to your teachers?" I asked, 'Yes, Your Highness!" They answered happily. 'That's very good." I replied, 'Now, your teachers and I are going to have a meeting, and I want all of you to behave. Can I count on you with that?" 'Yes, Your Highness." They are very enthusiastic, and I am happy about that. I asked Clay to talk to the faculty for our meeting because I wanted to prepare for their needs before we leave tomorrow. I just wanted to see these pups so I would get inspired and motivated. Now, I have to go to my meeting.
