Chapter 122
THE DAY OF THE ATTACK had arrived, and Helga's nerves were on edge. She paced back and forth Riovanni's study, her hands constantly finding their way to caress her tummy, a habit she had developed even though she wasn't showing yet. Her lips were pursed in concentration as she mentally prepared herself for what was to come. Outside, the sky was dark and ominous, a befitting weather for the war chaos that was about to happen in a few hours.
"Calm down, stressing out isn't good for your health," Riovanni's voice broke through the silence as he watched her restless pacing around the room, her eyes flicking to the clock every few minutes. Three long hours had passed since David's call announcing their departure from the palace. The journey through the sea was estimated to take five hours, leaving only two remaining before they would arrive at Narva.
"I know, but what can I do? I'm getting nervous." Helga replied quickly before she paused and strode towards the window, her gaze sweeping over the palace grounds. Every detail Riovanni had provided about guard placements and numbers was spot on; it seemed entirely feasible for Siegren and other pack members to infiltrate this place without anyone else knowing. except for Helga and Riovanni. Everything seemed to be going according to plan, almost too smoothly. It's a good thing but Helga couldn't shake the feeling of impending doom. She knew they had the upper hand in this surprise attack on the enemy war pack, but she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. It was almost too good to be true, and she feared that something would inevitably go horribly wrong.
"I promise to stay by your side until someone from your pack arrives to take care of you. After ensuring that you are safe. I will join the fight and confront my father." Riovanni reminded her since they already came to an agreement that she wouldn't participate in the war pack, or else, he would have no choice but to reveal her pregnancy to Siegren. It pained him to use such tactics, but he knew it was the only way to dissuade Helga from involving herself in the dangerous battles. She had already helped immensely simply by returning to the place she once fled from, so he doesn't see the need to risk her and her unborn child's safety by helping them fight,
"I understand-"Helga flinched, her heart racing as a loud and urgent knocking echoed through the room. The sound was jarring, like a sudden clap of thunder on a clear day. She instinctively turned her head towards the door, her eyes wide with fear. In a flash of movement, Riovanni swiftly fastened the chain around Helga's neck, securing her in place.
"My King! We have an emergency! Your father!" Andi's voice boomed outside the study, causing Riovanni and Helga to exchange curious glances before he made his way toward the door. The wood creaked under his weight before swinging it open, revealing his beta, "What happened?" he asked, his gaze lingering on Andi's flushed face and the beads of sweat glistening on his forehead. He panted heavily, his chest rising and falling rapidly as he rubbed at her damp forehead with the back of his hand He's causing commotion and disruption on the lower floors, stenbling around in a drunken rage and targeting any pack member he comes across." Andi's response was met with confusion as the Lycan King simply stood in place and his nose between his fingers, instead of immediately rushing to check on his father like what he would usually do. squeezed
"Why are you treating this like it's a new occurrence? This has happened countless times before. Do I always have to handle it myself? What's the purpose of having a beta if you're constantly running to ine to control my father's reckless actions!" Riovanni sighed in frustration, causing Andi's brow to twitch slightly before his expression turned grim.
"You are fully aware that you are the only one capable of stopping him. I may be a beta, but he is still the former King. How could 1 even begin to-" "Just say that you can't do anyting that would make my lather question your loyalty.
Riovanni's words cut through the air like a sharp knife, his tone alued yet laced with an underlying firmness that made Andi furrow her brow in confusion, "What do you mean by that?" 13:02 Fri, Oct 18 Chapter

"You know very well what Ipeant," Riovanni setpped forward, his figure seemed to loom over his Beta like a dark, foreboding shadow. The tension between them was so obvious, thickening the air and making it almost suffocating. Even Helga, standing just behind Riovanni in the rooms, could feel the heat radiating from their locked gazes. It was as if they would transform any second and go for each other's throat. "You can stop pretending and acting clueless, Andi. I am aware that your loyalty wasn't entirely focused on me when I too over the role of the King and you were appointed as my
Andi's heart s**ped a beat at Riovanni's words, his eyes widening in shock as he took a step back. He had never expected him to bring up this topic, especially not in this kind of situation where his father was causing chaos downstairs. His mind raced as he tried to come up with an explanation, but the truth was, he couldn't deny the truth that Riovanni had just said.
"Yes, I was loyal to your father," Andi finally admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "But that was just because I owe hit You know how he saved me and my family from certain death when the previous Alpha King ordered an attack on our sm pack. If it wasn't for Sir I Demian-"
"I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could my father have ordered an attack on a small pack? He would never do something so cruel. It was clear that whoever had told you that nonsense was feeding you with lies." Helga could't hold back any longer. Her arms crossed tightly over her chest and her eyes blazed with anger as she interjected. She knew she should just keep quiet, but hearing Andi spit those accusations caused a fit of anger to flare in her veins. There was nothing else she wanted more than to defend her father's honor because as far as she could remember, he father was a good Alpha, he was a leader and a King that everyone admired and respected. There was no way he would orde something so cruel, and even if he did, there must be a reason behind it. "What do you know?" Andi's eyes narrowed as soon as she stepped into his line of sight. But when Riovanni's intense gaze landed on him, he couldn't help but flinch. Just then, a loud and all too familiar scream shattered the already tense atmosphere in the room, causing all thre three of of them to furrow their brows in concern "F*** he's His father was alret of his cried in Riwan's uber, but under the influente, he was sching, undoubtedly that of a child. He knew his father well enough to anticipate his actions; there was no telling what he might do to an innocent pack member, let alone a defenseless child. already a when was nothing a monster. He gazed at Helga, weighing the possibility of bringing her along. However, he quickly dismissed the idea as he imagined the consequences of his father's wrath being directed towards her instead of their pack members. It was not worth putting her in danger. "Keep her here and watch over her. If anything happens to her, will kill you and your family." Riovanni's warning was Laced with a glare as he turned his intense gaze towards Andi. Helga's yes widened in shock at the realization that he would leave her in the care of someone who clearly harbored animosity toward her and showed no concern for her safety.

"Wait. I don't trust him" she protested, not wanting to be alone with Andi who also hated the idea of looking out for her. It was bad enough that she was the daughter of the man who had tempted to harm his family, but her mere presence made him uncomfortable for reasons he she couldn't fully understand "Don't worry, I don't trust him too. But rest assured he won't do anything. While his loyalty may lie elsewhere, Fhighly doubt he's foolish enough to disregard my warnings" Riovanni reassured but that didn't ease any of her concerns. She wanted to protest once more, but his stern expression made it clear that he would not change his decision. "Fine," she muttered under her breath, still feeling unsure about the whole situation.
Riovanni gave Andi one last warning glare before turning to leave with a heavy heart the hated leaving Helga behind, especially when he knew that she wasn't comfortable. But he couli't just sit and do nothing, protecting their pack from his father's wrath was fils priority at the moment Andi watched as Riovanni walked out of the nom, relied washing over him as soon as he disappeared from sight.

alone with her either.
Helga nodded silently, not wanting to start an argument or make things worse between them. She just decided to keep her distance from him and find a place where she could stay until Riovanni returned.
Meanwhile, the Lycan King made his way downstairs, steeling lijnself for whatever gruesome scene awaited him there. As soon as reached the stairs, he saw his father standing over an unconscious young child whose body was covered in bruises and cuts. "What is going on here?" Řiovanni stormed towards his father, lus face contorted in anger and frustration. His fists clenched tightly at his sides, his entire body tense with emotion. He couldn't believe the audacity of his father's actions and he was ready to confront him about it, especially when he's getting cruel each passing day. It was as if had no intention of hiding his rotten behavior anymore,
it.
As soon as Riovanni stepped into the scene, his father, Demian, turned to face him with a wicked smile on his face. Riovanni felt a shudder run down his spine as he looked at his father's twisted expression. There was something off about him, but he couldn't quite place "What are you doig father?" he asked, his voice laced with anger and frustration all the while trying to contain his emotions. However, Demian's smile only widened as he slowly chuckled.
"Just having some fun," he replied nonchalantly, causing Riovanni's anger to boil over, and took a step towards his father. ready to confront him about his cruel actions.
"That is not fun," he gritted out through clenched teeth.
"But it is for me." Demian chuckled darkly with a cruel glint in his eye. Riovanni shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe that this was the man who raised him. A man who took pleasure in hurting innocent children for no reason other than entertainment. "You are sick," Riovanni spat out, unable to contain his disgust any longer. Demian's smile faltered for a moment before turning into a look of pure malice. Every pack member present couldn't help but shudder in fear.
tch your tongue, boy," he growled, taking a step towards Riovanni. "Or else, I might kill the fallen you treasured so much, along with the unborn pup she was carrying."
Riovanni's eyes widened in shock, and as if on cue, he quickly turned around and sprinted up the stairs to his study. But when he finally got there, Andi and Helga were nowhere to be seen, causing him to pull his hair in frustration and regret. "Damn it!" SEND GIFT
