“What did I just see in there?” Honour was the first to ask. The girl had hoped to go home after a normal day at the flower shop, but the world had other plans for her and now she’d just watched a royal healing someone else and taking on their injuries.

“Well, I am just as clueless as you. I would like to say Cole healed him, but Cole looked really exhausted when he was done. I’m now wondering if it was worth it,” Lina replied, taking a seat beside her best friend.

“Well, we’ll have to wait and ask him what happens when he uses that... ability of his,” the queen responded, hoping the conversation would end until the alpha arrived. Alas, curiosity was simply too strong.

“I would like to know as well. I wonder when the boy will be coming out of that hospital room,” the king asked, redirecting the question to the pack doctor through the mind link. “Well, the doctor says he will be out soon enough. Ten minutes never killed anyone.”

“Honey, we are in a hospital. You might want to refrain from using that kind of...”

“Oh, sorry. Ten minutes never put anyone in a coma. Better?” he asked with the widest grin.

“Never mind...” she sighed, taking a seat beside him and cosying up to him. silence took over the group as they waited for the royal to come out of the hospital room. It was the longest ten minutes in Lina’s life. She knew there was an explanation for everything that she’d seen that day and that it was probably what she was going to get out of the Cole when he came out, but the wait was unbearable.

....

.....

Just when Lina was about to stand up, the doctor returned with Cole following behind her. He looked better than they’d left him, but he looked paler than he normally did. Queen Martha stood up from her seat by the king. “It’s been long since she’s been like this,” the man commented more to himself, staying seated.

The woman shrugged off his comment and proceeded, “Cole, how are you feeling?”

“I’ll live. The effect will wear off in a few days,” he replied.

“He just needs rest and lots to drink. Have him keep up that routine and he should recover in a few days,” the pack doctor concluded, “I won’t ask for details, but whatever Alpha Cole did to the man in there has him in better shape than I’ve ever seen a human before.”

“Yeah, that about makes up for what I did to him,” Cole sighed, turning from the doctor and walking towards the exit, “Thank you for everything doctor.” He said as he left. Jason was by his side almost immediately.

‘Huh, he just left...’ Lina ran after him, struggling to keep up with him, “Come on, you can’t leave without telling me anything about what I’ve just seen. Cole, what was that back there?” the girl bombarded him with questions.

“I don’t want to talk about it, okay and I’m hoping it’s the last time you ever get to see me do that. It hurts like hell and I won’t be doing it just for anyone,” he snapped at her.

Shocked by his reaction, Lina fell back. She wasn’t done and when she’d recovered, she sped up again trying to match his strides, “I don’t want to ask you to do it for anyone. I just want to know what I saw. Since when can you heal others?” they reached the front doors and Cole went through the doors. The crowd following him had no intentions of giving up their pursuit and made sure to keep him in sight.

“It wouldn’t hurt to tell us that much, Cole,” King Davin’s voice froze everyone in their tracks, including Cole. It was easy to ignore the young girl beside him, but the King was a different person altogether.

After thinking through it, he conceded, “Let’s get to the palace and talk in your office.”

Seeing how late it was, Honour asked Lina if she could leave them. The girl was excused and given the king’s chauffeur to see her home. Jason took the driver’s seat, shocking Lina. The girl held her tongue, but envy racked her brain, “He’s barely old enough to drive.”

“I qualify in more ways than you can hope to match,” he replied with a smirk. Placing a peck on Sandra, he opened the passenger seat for her. Queen Martha enjoyed watching the way the wolf treated the hunter, but sometimes it was nothing more than funny to her. To her surprise, she found the back door open for her. The king stood there holding it for her to enter.

“What’s this?” she cooed.

“Just this once. Since the driver is not here, it wouldn’t make me a gentleman if I let my Luna open the door herself,” he replied with a smirk. The queen giggled, getting into the car.

.......

Lina’s curiosity was not always her best trait and it was definitely not one now that she kept having to wait to hear what Cole had to say to them. She’d spent a long time trying to accept her brother losing to sixteen-year-old years ago, but now that she had seen what Cole could do, she wanted an explanation.

Food and refreshments were brought to the alpha’s office where they all sat in silence as Cole got comfortable. Jason rubbed circles on Sandra’s back. The girl’s mind wandered about what had happened that evening. She was trying to make sense of what she had seen and trying to understand how she’d gotten so lucky to have witnessed all of it.

Among all the witnesses, she was the only one that was human. She was so ordinary that she sometimes joked that she’d be able to stare a dragon in the eye with all she’d seen. Cole finally sighed. He knew he wasn’t getting out of this one and so he arranged his story, “Where to start... umm...”

“How about you tell us when you found out you could do that and what exactly it is,” the king replied.

“Very well... That sounds easy enough. I found out I could do this a few years ago. One year to be more specific,” he said.

“That’s quite recent,” the queen cut in.

“Yeah... it really is... Sometimes it feels like only yesterday...

One year ago...

Cole was back from his vigorous training that day. His friends, Caden and Jason, came in with him collapsing into the sofas in the living room, exhaustion racking their bodies, “Cole, how can keep up this training every day and not get exhausted? What are you?”

“That is a question I have already answered,” the boy replied, “Catch.” He threw bottles at the two of them. The two boys caught the bottles and drained them of their contents.

“He says it’s all to beat Drake the next time he meets him without any excuses,” Caden sighed.

“What does that make us if he gets too strong?”

“Oh, come on, Jason, you know who my beta alphas will be when the time comes. You two and no other... So, make sure I don’t leave you in the dust,” Cole encouraged them. The three of them had grown up together and one of the things the boys had promised Jason to put his mind at peace and allow him to forget his lost mate was that they would get strong enough to accomplish what the hunters were failing to do. ‘Kill the rogue King...’

“That’s comforting to hear even though it sounds like you’re letting me down easy. Did your father finally tell you his thoughts on our mission? We are supposed to be setting off to search for him soon. Your seventeenth birthday is not far,” Jason asked. The boys had made a plan to leave the castle for a year so that they may track down the traitor that was the source of the war.

Their mission was overly ambitious albeit lacking proper guidance, “He doesn’t talk much these days. Between all the meds and the pack disputes he has to solve, he barely has any time left to answer anything,” Cole replied.

“That’s a bummer. All the more reason we need to go out and hunt the rogue king though. He wouldn’t have to worry about rogues with the Rogue King dead. That stinky wolf will never see you coming and even if he does, there won’t be much he’ll be able to do against you. Sometimes I wonder if Cole’s actually made of metal, nuts, and bolts,” Jason joked.

“Yeah, and the next time you think something like that, you’ll have to spar with me with no protective gear,” Cole responded.

“No, thank you. I’ll take an actual tank over you any day,” the three laughed at the comment before a message came through the mind link, informing Cole of news that drained the colour from his face.

“What is it, Cole?” Caden had barely asked when the boy was running up the stairs. Jason had his mind open when the message went through and had unintentionally heard the unprotected message... ‘Get to your father’s room... He might not have long left with us...’
