Unveiling Secrets

Chapter Twenty-Six

Kenneth's POV

I look around the foreign room I've just woke up in and wonder how I got here in the first place. I get off the bed and walk to the open window. By the looks of outside, it seem to be late afternoon and I'm just waking up. How odd.

Looking out through the window, I realise I'm at the Central City Palace. How I got here I still can't remember and just then, the door to the room opens and I see Ron walking in.

"Why I'm I here and where is Roman?" I ask but the second I speak out my mate's name, I remember what happened. A growl rips out of me and I march to the door.

"Wait Alpha. There are visito-"

He doesn't finish his words as I grab him by the neck and push him to the wall. I growl in his face and he quickly submits to me.

"What did you do to me? Why I'm I here and not looking for my mate?"

"Alpha I couldn't have let you go on a blind search for your mate. You were getting out of control."

I want to shout at him for getting in my way and delaying my mate's search. What if I'm too late to go for him now? I get so angry and I start to feel myself changing but then suddenly everything feels calm. I remove my hand from Ron and he falls to the ground. I tense when I smell a foreign scent. I open the door and pin down the owner of the scent to the wall. A girl looks at me with wide eyes and seem to have been caught off guard.

"Who are you witch and what are you doing in my palace?"

"I-I'm N-natalie, Roman's cousin. I'm h-here wi-with Roman's p-parents." She manage to cough out a response with my hold on her. I let her go the moment I hear Roman's parents are here. Ron comes out of the room and I turn to him.

"Why didn't you tell me Roman's parents are here?"

"I was about to tell you but you strangled me." He scowls but I ignore him and turn back to the girl.

"Remove the spell on me. You should never do that again without my consent." I make sure the warning tone is heard clearly. She seem surprise that I noticed she had put a spell on me but what did she expect from an alpha like me. I don't need a spell to keep my anger in check; I can do that by myself.

"I'm sorry for my disobeying action alpha. I was in the room next door and sensed the rising aura; I jumped in without a thought. That aside, we know about Roman missing and the family is here to have a meeting with you about this issue." Natalie speaks when I take a step to go back to the room.

"The king called when you were still sleeping, to inform me of their sudden visit here. I told them we were here and I welcomed them a while ago when they arrived. I was coming from the meeting room where I had directed them when I came to check on you and find you awake. The guests are waiting for you to begin the meeting." Ron informs me through the link.
