"What do you mean by that?" Fiona frowned, her hand instinctively touched her necklace-the very same necklace that Elijah gave her. "What do you mean by this necklace belonging to the Rosenthal Family? You said. It was from your great-great-grandmother?" The more Fiona thought about it, the uglier her expression became. She had so many questions. "Are we related? What does the necklace have to do with the attack?? Elijah sighed but shook his head. "We're not," he said. "The necklace was given to my grandmother before the first great war.

Fiona's eyes widened. Everything seemed to point to the long history of the Rosenthal Family. The secrets surrounding their bloodline just got more complicated, and she didn't like where this was going. She thought about the King told her. The Rosenthal Family goes a long way back. However, they simply secluded themselves after the wars

"And why would someone want to take me because of it? They can simply ask for the necklace, and I would give it to them. She recalled the man who appeared. She wouldn't forget the weird smirk on that man's face and how he seemed very, very confident about something Fiona didn't know, She started pacing inside his study.

Apparently, that man escaped right after they left the palace. However, he was still able to injure Regor and two other werewolf soldiers who came to help. It only meant that he was strong-stronger than most werewolves. Just what was that man's identity, and why did he seem so certain about

"Do you think they mistook my identity for someone else's? Perhaps it was Elise they really wanted? Perhaps they just she gritted her teeth. unable to finish her sentence. Elise was not the one wearing the necklace. She was.

She needed to know the reason why this was happening. And for her to do that, she needed to talk to her father. "We need to go see my father," she uttered. "Only be can answer me. Only her father would be able to answer her questions. Only he knew the deepest secrets of the Rosenthal Family

However, just before Elijah could respond, the door opened with a loud bang.

"Where is she?" a voice echoed inside the study. Before Fiona could react, Queen Luna Lyanna walked in. Behind her were Markus and Monique and two other soldier. Quern Lyanna stopped when she found Fiona inside. "You really had the guts to come in here and endanger Elijah and the

"W-What?" Fiona frowned. What is this woman talking about now?

Elijah took a step forward, his stance tense, eyes locked onto the Queen "Leave," he said, his voice calm but carrying an unmistakable warning.

Queen Lyanna shorted, her lips curling into a sneer. "Leave You still don't

't understand, do you? Everything that's happening is all because of her." She jabbed a finger in Fiona's direction.

Fiona blinked, confusion clouding her face. "What do you mean, because of me?"

The Queen's eyes narrowed, disbelief flashing across her features. "You really have no idea, do you?" She shook her head, a bitter laugh excaping her lips. "Don't play dumb. Tell me why you're here! Was it because you wanted to bring chaos to the supernatural world?" "Mother," Monique held the Queen's arm. This isn't the time for this Father would

"Oh please! Even he wasn't able to stop those Lycans!" Queen Luna hissed. "Everything is in chaos because of this woman!"

Fiona's confusion deepened. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said, her gaze flicking between Elijah and the Queen. Then she looked at the smirking Markus, who was enjoying the show. The man must be here just to see his mother's reaction. Meanwhile, Monique had a worried look on her face. Just what is going on here!

Lyanna storied again. "You haven't heard The Lycans just declared war against the werewolves. And it's because of you. The attack hours ago was a message: They want you, or they will gather their forers and take action against us. Do you know what war is, Fionat Do you understand what am I talking about!"

Finnie's breath caught in her throat, her eyes going wide. "War?" she whispered. She turned to Elijah, searching his face for some sort of explanation. Elijah was equally stunned, but he quickly composed himself, his expression hardening "That's enough," he said sharply, stepping between Fiona and the Q

Fiona took a small step back, her mind spinning from the weight of the Queen's accusations. War? Because of her? None of this made sense

"Get out" Elijah said again, his voice low but laced with finality. He was done asking.

For a moment, no one moved. Then, slowly, the Queen's expression hardened. She turned on her heel without another word, her entourage following her as she stormed out of the room.

The door slammed behind them, leaving a tense silence in their wake.

Fiona exhaled shakily, her hands trembling. "Elijah What does this mean? Why would the Lycans declare war?" This was the first time she had heard about the Lycans making a move. Sure, she knew they were still out there, but most of them avoided the other supernaturals. Why would they suddenly declare war

Elijah turned to her, his eyes softening slightly as he walked over. "I don't know yet," he admitted. "But we're going to replace out."

Fiona nodded, but the knot of fear in her chest didn't loosen. She knew this was only the beginning. Seeing this. Elijah approached her and suddenly pulled her into a hug. Whatever happens, I'll protect you. I promise."

Fiona bit her lower lip. Protect her? From the Lycans? For the first time since she came here, Fiona started doubting her decision. Was leaving her pack the right decision after all? Why did it seem like the outside world, the world outside of her pack and clan, was more chaotic and dangerous?
