Chapter 17

Richards POV

The doctor just stands there and looks at Kendra. "has she ever had any other child besides Fredrick?"

I swallow hard "yes but she has no royal blood. she has mine."

"how old is she?" he asks without an expression.

"shes nineteen, why?"

He looks at me and then at Kendra and a smile makes it to his face. "your blood isn't royal but hers is." he says looking at Kendra.

"no this is not possible." I say looking at him in pure shock.

Alex's POV

the moment Blaise said those words I became so nervous I left him and ran to my room to change. 

I’ve never been good with awkward situations or with couple like situations as well. ever since I was small, all that I found interesting was to confuse people and play jokes on them.

I walk over to the bathroom and I begin to shower. I have bruises and scratches but they are slowly healing.

Once I'm done I change into some dark red jeans and a black short sleeve shirt. I walk over to the door and I see Blaise when I open the door. He’s wearing a dark green shirt with black jeans. 'hot'

"hey, can I come in?"

"oh yeah" 

he walks inside of the room and he sits on the side of my bed. 

I'm about to greet him with a smile when all of a sudden I feel a tingling sensation on my right arm.

"Alex are you alright?" he asks worried.

"Blaise, there's something wrong-" I get cut off when I kneel on the floor and my right arm begins to burn. the feeling slowly flows from my arm towards my whole body. I look at Blaise quickly get up to try to help me when I see him hold his left arm and he begins to scream along with me.

soon we find ourselves screaming over the pain. 

I look at my right arm and I see a black and red mark begin to form.

"Alex!" I hear my dad's voice.

"it fucking burns!" I hold my arm "what's going on dad?" I ask with tears in my eyes.

"it's okay baby girl you'll be fine." he looks at my arm and then he looks at Blaise and he freezes. "how... how the hell is this even possible?"

I continue to scream for a while until it finally stops and me and Blaise are laying down on the floor panting.

"Richard! Fredrick doesn't have the-" Alpha James comes inside with his son Dylan behind him.

"I know, because Alex and Blaise have them." my dad says as I slowly sit up. 

Blaise is now sitting against the bed as he pants. I use all my strength to move and I sit next to him. he holds my marked hand with his marked his marked hand and I immediately feel better as I feel the tingling sensation of his warmth. 

I can tell that he feels the same because he sighs as he relaxes his muscles. 

"what was that?" he asks first.

my father and James and his son look at us. James looks at me with a glint of amusement in his eyes as he says "the queen and king have lost their royal marks."

I look at them confused as Blaise swallows hard and he squeezes my hand.

"they are no longer the king and queen," my father says looking at our intertwined hands "you are"

I stiffen "no" I try to run towards them but Blaise pulls me back and I land on his arms. "how? I'm not royal"

"that's what I was thinking but your mother was the queen meaning her blood was royal. meaning since you have her blood you are royal." he pauses "or maybe because you beat the king in a fight. I don't know Alex. this has never happened before."

"take it back! let them take these marks back" I say pulling myself away from Blaise only to be pulled back towards him.

"I'm sorry Alex but those marks are permanent. until you have a child and he turns eighteen. you and Blaise will be the king and queen." my father says as he runs his hand thought his brown hair.

"but what about the pack? who will be the alpha?" I ask nervously.

"I'm sorry Alex but it looks like your brother Colten will be taking over the position once he’s eighteen." he sighs as he looks at the floor. "I'm sorry Alex. this is all I can do. this has never happened before so I can't do anything but watch, as you try to figure this out yourself."

"it's fine" Blaise says from behind me "well get through this"

I immediately calm down and I put my back on his chest. 

"for now what we need to focus is on breaking the news to them when they wake up. they won't like it one bit." Blaise says as he wraps his arms around me tighter. "they might even try to take the marks back."

silence fills the room for a second before I sigh. "ill tell them." everyone turns to look at me.

"no" Blaise says as he tightens his hold "hell try to kill you"

"ill be fine. they came here because of me, and it's most likely my fault why we have these marks anyway" I break away from Blaises hold. "I have to be the one to tell them."

"Alex, you have to go to the castle after this" my father states.

"what? why can't I just stay with you in your pack?"

"because if there is no king and queen in the throne, the kingdom will fall and other wolves will take over." he extends his arms as he unravels me into a warm hug. "you wanted to change things right? that half-human boy." I stiffen in realization "you could save all of the people like him. they will stop killing them after you break that law. you will be able to change things."

"yeah" is all I can say.

"Alex, if you are given power don't question it. just take it."

I laugh "shouldn't you be telling me something like think about the consequences it will bring or think before you use it."

he laughs softly "Alex, you might have been a revel while growing up, pulling pranks and jokes on people but when it comes to power you take things so seriously it's scary." he lets go "that's something I don't need to remind you about. even if you didn't know, you would still do it without realizing it."
