“Oh, Lucian…” Rania felt very bad for the warriors. She didn’t even want to imagine how devastated it was for him to know that his mother didn’t make and what might happen to her. “I am sorry to hear

that.”

Lucian shook his head. “Don’t be, my queen. I am fine.” Lucian wiped his face roughly and his calm demeanor returned, but Rania was sure there was storm that raged inside of him.

“Why don’t you go to the Deepsea pack?” Rania suggested.

“I can’t do that,” Lucian said, he glanced at Rania before he shook his head again, as if he was trying to convince himself on something. “She is dead. There is no point for me to go there.”

“But, you are still not sure about that yet, right?” Rania patted his back, which surprised him. “Don’t you want to find a closure for your question all this time? I know that you must have thought about your mother every now and then.”

“But, I can’t go,” Lucian said, but this time his voice was less convincing.

“Why not?” Rania was confused.

“I have a duty to protect you.” Lucian knew that his reason didn’t hold the water, that’s why his voice is getting weaker when he said the excuse.

Hearing that, Rania rolled her eyes. “Do you really think about that?” She asked incredulously. “I free you from your duty, moreover, there is Cam here with me and a lot of our warriors here. You are practically babysitting me, which is unnecessary?”

Lucian didn’t give any response and Rania reassured him.

“I will talk to Maximus about this.” She figured if it was Maximus, who gave him the permission, he would be more convinced to leave.

“You don’t have to do that, my queen,” Lucian immediately said, he was surprised that Rania would take the initiative to do that.

“I want to,” Rania replied.

And not long after, Eli returned with a bunch of plants in a basket, Rona also informed Rania that the fire was ready for her.

Maximus looked at alpha Roger, who was no longer able to stand. His legs were broken, he also suffered a few broken ribs and many more.

Eyen his healing ability wouldn’t be able to help much at this point, because it was well known that broken bones would be hard and take a long time to heal properly.

“I will let you see your son for the last time and spare your family,” Maximus said coldly. He lowered his body and grabbed alpha Roger by his hair to lift his head, so he could see his face. “Tell me in detail how were you able to get out of the Death Valley alive.”

Alpha Roger chuckled. He looked at Maximus with a disdain in his eyes. “Sacrifice. You need a sacrifice.”

He then told him how he had sacrificed his little sister. Apparently, alpha Roger entered the Death Valley and lost in that place not alone, he came with his step sister, but because this sister was born from an omega, no one cared about her

Moreover, she was a girl.

Men in this kingdom paid no mind to girls, unless they needed them to get pleasure from them. Therefore, it was understandable if there was no story whatsoever about Roger’s little sister.

“I sacrificed her,” he said with a dark chuckle. “Now, let me see my son,” he growls angrily.

His son was not in this pack when the attack happened, therefore, he thought his son had

managed to escape, but who would have thought that the king had captured him.

Maximus straightened his back and then told Eiten to bring Alpha Roger’s son to enter the room.

In alpha Roger’s mind, he was going to tell his son to do whatever he could do to stay alive, even if he had to bow his head to the king who had invaded their kingdom.

Because as long as he was alive, he would be able to gather power to avenge their revenge.

However, alpha Roger didn’t expect that two warriors brought in his son in the room, but he was dead. His son was no longer breathing.

Not only that, his condition was also so bad to the point it was hard to recognize him. Dried blood caked his face and he was missing an arm.

“Arrgghh!” Alpha Roger screamed furiously when he saw his son’s condition. He tried to get up, but he stumbled again, because his legs gave in, since his broken legs had not been healed. “Fuck you, Maximus! What have you done to my son!? My son!” Alpha Roger was having a breakdown upon seeing this. “You lied! You said you are going to let me see my son!”

Actually, Maximus didn’t lie to him, he indeed let him see his son, but the king had never said that he

was going to let him see his son alive.

Alpha Roger didn’t even ask whether his son was still breathing or not, therefore, it couldn’t be the king’s fault for this misunderstanding.

“I am going to kill you! I am going to kill you!” alpha Roger went to get Maximus, but Eiten moved faster than him and ended his life.

The gamma slit alpha Roger’s throat with a silver dagger that he kept in his pocket. It was a clean cut and a second later, alpha Roger’s head had rolled on the floor, next to his son.

“Now, the father and the son can be reunited in the afterlife,” Eiten said, he cleaned his dagger and put it back. “Why do you want that thing?” Eiten frowned. “Don’t tell you do you want to look for a magic user? For what?” He couldn’t understand this.

However, Maximus didn’t answer his question, and instead walking away from the room.

“Maxi! Answer me!” Eiten followed the king hastily. “What is in your mind?” Eiten caught up with Maximus and bombarded him with questions. “Is this related to Rania?”

Stil, Maximus didn’t give his gamma an answer for the question and Eiten knew better that he couldn’t get a word out of Maximus’s mouth if he didn’t

want to.

In the end, the gamma could only groan in frustration.

Rania prepared everything. Actually, it would be better if she did this in the kitchen pack, but it was too far from here,

“My queen, let me do it,” Eli said when she saw Rania had stirred the pot for more than an hour. “I will do it.”

“No, you can’t.” Rania didn’t mean to underestimate Eli, but there is a certain thing that she couldn’t do it. It was not only stirring the pot, she had to control the strength and how she stirred it.

She couldn’t be too fast, because it would make the concoction too sticky to drink, but she couldn’t be too slow because all the ingredients wouldn’t be mixed well.

Rania explained that to Eli and the other people, who gathered around.

“That’s why, I said you can’t do it,” Rania said to Eli. “I will teach you later, but for now, let me do it. Your daughter needs the medicine quickly.”

Eli felt bad, but at the same time she felt very grateful. She knelt down and thanked the queen.

“Thank you, queen Rania. Thank you for your help, I don’t know what should I do without your help. Thank you. I will give my life for you.” Eli pressed her face against the dirty ground.

“No, please, stand up. There is no need to thank me. Please, stand up.” Rania couldn’t personally help Eli to stand up because she had to stir the concoction, therefore she asked Lucian to do it.

Lucian then came over and made Eli to stand, while Rona thanked Rania profusely too. The little girl was her nephew after all, and for someone like Rania to help them, it was something that they wouldn’t dare to even imagine.

Thankfully, after fifteen more minutes, the concoction was ready. Rania felt her arm was going to fall off, but she hid it well, as she asked Eli to bring a glass and let it cool down for a while before they gave it to her daughter.

“What is her name?” Rania asked once they entered the hut again.

“Bella,” Eli replied, her voice softened, she stared at her daughter.
