ALEXANDER'S POV
Opening my eyes, I looked around myself and couldn't help but wince when I felt my hands burning. Gazing down at my foot, I noticed, I was tied to chains laced with the copper-silver combination.
'Where the hell I am? And why have I been bound like this? Who dared to bind ?' I thought, my head filled with nothing but the images of water everywhere.
Water. Yes. That's exactly what I have been dreaming of for soo long. But, why would that happen?
All I rember is coming back to the mansion, eting my father and the council mbers, then going inside the dining hall to eat sothing. But sothing was unusual about the food. It tasted different, and there was soone else besides . Who was it?
'Uhhh...why can't I rember!' I shouted in my mind as I felt the absence of Hunter.
Soone has poisoned . But who?
Looking around myself, I winced at the chains one more ti before applying so energy to the chains to break them off. They were quite strong. Wincing at the burning marks that I was getting around my wrists, I took a deep breath to contain the pain.
After few more attempts, I couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged when I still couldn't free myself. They must've injected with sothing to make this weak.
As I was still thinking about how to free myself, I heard soone talking not far from where I am.
"Boss, I think sothing wrong is going in the palace. I think the king's mate, Victoria, suspects sothing." Soone said.
"She is a half-human. What can she suspect? Besides, her best supporter is already thrown out by Alexander. What can she do alone?" Soone else said.
Wait! What are they talking about? I am here! How can there be any other Alexander out there? What's going on? Is soone else taking my place while I am stuck here? Victoria, my mate, must be in great pain without . We have completed our second step, which ans she will be able to feel so of my pain and miseries.
I need to do sothing. I can't let my love suffer like this. I need to protect my love, my mansion, and my people from these people.
With a newfound determination, I groaned in my mind before applying all the energy I could muster, and it wasn't long before the chains started to break before shattering to shambles as my hands got freed.
Looking at my feet that were tied to the legs of the chair, I hastily pulled on the chains, sweating as the chains were burning my hand before breaking them off too.
I don't know how many of them were here, and with my limited capability, I know I won't be able to fight these people. Keeping in mind how they were successful in kidnapping and creating that haze of water on my mind, I am sure that they are backed by a strong witch.
Punching the glass of the window, I jumped out of the room as I noticed a few n rushing towards my pack while murmuring,
"Hurry up! We need to attack them as soon as possible while they are still unable to heal."
They are unable to heal? What is the aning of all this? What in the world is happening?

VICTORIA'S POV
Blood, tearing of flesh, wailing cries, screams of agony, and tears were the only thing I could see when I exited the mansion and ventured into the forest to save Alexander.
It was a horrific sight for . I felt torn from inside. I know my pack bond was yet to be established, but I could feel their emotions as my own. Like it was all happening to .
"Victoria! Go back inside! This is the order of the council head! We already have Alexander's life at stake. We can't put you through such an ordeal too. The females of the pack who are inside the mansion need you. Rosaline needs you. They are in a panic, we need you." Theodore said as the motherly queen instinct of Carla started engulfing my body.
Walking back inside the mansion, I took the ancient sword that was hung on the wall before standing in front of the mansion's gate. I can't fight on the battlefield, but I'll make sure that no soul shall enter the mansion, and hurt the females and children today.
It wasn't long before I heard a war cry-like thing, which was followed by a thunderous growl.
Alexander! He was here! I can feel him near sowhere.
I was itching to et him, my mate. But I knew protecting the pack was our priority right now. However, it didn't an, that the distance from Alexander wasn't making agitated.
I noticed a few n half turned into their wolf forms, with red blazing eyes running towards the mansion, however, before I could even swing my sword, they were shredded away by Daniel and Sean, who were fighting not far from .
"Queen." Sean bowed to before concentrating on his fight again.
Queen? Why would he call that out of the blue?
Though our guards and pack males were very strong and a good fighter, it didn't an we were having an upper hand in the situation. Our inability to heal was becoming a major hindrance as more people were dying than expected.
I saw Daniel and Sean fighting more than 40 wolves on their own. It made felt useless as I was just standing there watching the show, but I knew one wrong decision taken out of impulse from , can put hundreds of lives in danger.
I was thinking about how to help our pack fighters, and it looked like moon goddess was on my side as the wolves started to co to my side as they saw standing there on guard of the mansion gate.
'Yes, very well. Co to . Attack .' I thought before I growled, and swing the sword at a black wolf, marking my first kill of the fight.
It felt good. It was a good way to channel all my agony and agitation. Raising my sword in the air, I started killing more wolves as they tried to enter the mansion. One after another, I even lost count of how many n I had killed in ten minutes. All I could see was a pile of dead bodies forming near the gate.
As I was taking out the dagger from behind my pocket, I felt a sudden pang in my chest making fall on my knees as it beca unbearable. Seeing falling on my knees like this, one of the wolf-man ca at before kicking , making hit the door of the mansion as I coughed blood. However, rather than being hit by the wolf, or my pain, only one thing crossed my mind, sothing has happened to Alexander, and it wasn't long before I started feeling a sense of loss as I felt like my heart was being ripped out from my chest for a second.
The pain didn't last for long, however, the feeling of emptiness was still there, and what was more was, I wasn't able to sll Alexander anymore.
Killing the wolf-man, who had kicked earlier, I closed the door of the mansion and decided it was best if I protect the mansion with my spells and go find Alexander. I can always make them understand all the things later, but right now saving everyone was my priority.
However, before I could even put my hand on the door to start the spell, I hear a voice that both shocked and surprised ,
"Victoria? Is that you? What are you doing here?" I heard the familiar voice from behind , and couldn't help but turn around to et the person.
"Rob? What are you doing here in this town?" I asked hurriedly, rembering my friend that I had made after I had saved him from drowning in the river.
"Well, that's a very interesting question, Victoria. Or should I say, our future queen? Let introduce myself properly. I am Robert, Robert Roosevelt. The real king of the mansion whose door you are touching, and you are going to be my future queen." Robert said, making look at him quizzically.
