Chapter 38 Confirmation
Elric patted his chest anxiously, releasing a shaky sigh as the weight of the situation pressed down on him. Suddenly, the Queen collapsed in tears, her sobs echoing through the room as she saw Addison’s condition.
"Take my blood! Take my blood and save my baby!" she cried, her voice trembling with desperation.
The Alpha King stepped forward, his expression darkening. He moved to support his mate, but his gaze remained fixed on Addison’s face, anger swirling within him. The raw fury in his eyes was unmistakable, a storm of emotions he could barely contain.
"Check whose blood—mine or the Queen’s—is compatible with the Princess," the Alpha King commanded, his voice low but firm. "And the Royal Healer must conduct a full assessment of her condition. As for the people who brought her here... I believe you owe me an explanation."

"Darling, calm down. If you keep everyone kneeling, they won’t be able to tend to our baby’s injuries," the Queen said shakily, her voice choked with emotion. She gently tapped her mate’s arm, urging him to rein in his rage.
The Alpha King’s jaw clenched as his golden eyes remained locked on the two unfamiliar men who had arrived with Elric. His wolf paced restlessly within his mind, snarling with fury, fixated on the strangers.
The two men were only just rising from the floor—having been forced to their knees like everyone else. Even they weren’t spared from the overwhelming pressure. Disobedience wasn’t an option. He was the Alpha King—the ruler of all werewolves—and even other alphas bowed before him.
