Chapter 24 Lucian Allan , I need you to find someone for me , I ordered the moment I arrived at the supreme court .
He came to me and I handed him a piece of paper .
Then I looked at Beverly whos head is bowing as if she couldnt be bothered by the fact that I am already here .
Everyone stared at me as if they expected a meeting today , but certainly not in such an informal and tense way .
!! Alpha , what is happening ? one of the lawmakers asked .
I knew they did not expect me to show up looking this dark and serious .
I had been calm when I ordered everyone to come to court because I had been restraining myself , considering that Hestia and our child were still in the hospital .
But now … Mr.
Hudson , I called to the old man responsible for guiding future alphas .
Tell me , did you tell anyone about me and Chesca having an heir to the throne ? @ They exchanged glances , an action that irritated me .
I slammed my hands hard against the table .
Who ? Who else did you tell ? N none , Alpha .
I told no one b because that information is forbidden , he stammered .
His eyes showed no sign of lying .
He knew about Hestia .

He knew Chesca was not Lordes real mother .
Yet , he never spoke a word about it .
Then who among you found out about my child first ? Who spread that information among you ? Speak now ! } Why , Lucian ? What is the problem? asked the oldest woman in the council , who also happened to be my grand aunt .
Пlooked at each of them carefully .
Only Beverly could not meet my eyes , but I wanted to believe it was because of what she did to Lorde .
She was not around when I impregnated Hestia .
She had been abroad , far from the scene .
Or was she ? I smirked evilly .
If I find out shes connected to the accident seven years ago , I would make sure shed face every horror she never wanted to even take a glimpse of .
I turned to Matthew .
Find out who first learned about my son .
Find out why the public suspected I had a child when the accident never revealed that information until it was confirmed by me .
I knew someone betrayed me .
Someone betrayed the court .
I had never told anyone about Lorde , not even my own family , except for Mr.

Hudson .
They only learned of his existence after he was born .
I did not believe anyone would have the motive to kill Chesca .
Hestia was the real target because she carried the heir to my position .
} ] When we first discovered Chesca could not bear a child , it became a problem because it could cost me my position as Alpha .
That changed when Hestia came into the picture .
Who else would plot such a crime but someone hungry for the throne ? It could be the opposing family who later became silent after the accident or someone … whos still moving in secret right now , just like Beverly .
I looked around the room , smirking bitterly .
I would not show them mercy once I uncovered the traitor .
Hestial I stirred awake to a chilling sensation , the room growing darker despite the lights still being on .
At first , I thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me , hallucinating because of the medication or the overwhelming memories pressing against my skull .
I heard faint whimpers , as if someone was in pain , followed by the sound of something scraping along the walls .
blinked rapidly , forcing my vision to sharpen .
Then I saw it .
In the dimness , right before me , I saw Lorde being dragged away by someone , his small fingers clawing at the walls , his nails leaving trails of blood on the once pristine white surface .

His wide , terrified eyes screamed at me for help , though no sound left his lips .
Where are you taking my son ?! I cried out .
Help ! I screamed , my voice breaking .
I ran after them , but the man was fast , carrying Lorde easily due to his small size .
Lorde fought back desperately .
He bit the man hard and finally cried out , Mommy ! Help me ! } I did not stop running through the corridor .
Several nurses appeared , and for a second , I thought they were there to help .
But when I saw one of them pull something from her pocket , it was not a phone to call for help .
It was a gun loaded with a syringe .
My legs wobbled from fear but I forced them to move faster even as my strength dwindled.§ I felt a sharp pain in my chest .
When I looked down , I saw a small dart embedded in me .
Paralysis crept through my body quickly , locking up my muscles until I collapsed helplessly on the floor .
I could only watch through my blurring vision as Lorde was dragged away farther and farther from me.§ Come here , you bitch , sneered a voice from behind me .
Someone yanked my hair harshly , pulling my head back , and in the next moment , darkness swallowed my sight completely .
