Oliver sighed and furrowed his brows.

“I don’t think that I am, Maddie,” he said. “The kind of power you have could only be explained by you being a Lycan and a direct descendant of the Kingdom of Goldfangs.”

Maddie furrowed her brows a little.

“Kingdom of Goldfangs?” she mumbled.

Oliver nodded. “The legends say that the royals of the Kingdom of Goldfangs had powers. They ranged from controlling other people’s behavior to being able to see into the future.”

“Wow,” Will mumbled quietly.

“But I can’t do that,” Maddie mumbled.

Oliver gave her a small smile. “You have your own power, Maddie.”

She sighed and bit her lower lip.

“Did you talk to Skye?” Oliver asked her.

She looked at him and shook her head.

“Talk to her, Maddie,” Oliver said. “Try to get her to shift. We need to confirm it.”

‘Skol…,’I called my wolf, but he interrupted me.

‘I am talking to her, Dimitri,’he said.‘Maddie is shutting her out. I think that she is afraid to know the truth.’

I gulped and tried to take a deep breath.

‘So it’s true?’I asked.‘She is a Lycan?’

Skol was silent for a moment.

‘Yes,’he said, making my heart race.‘That’s why Skye refused to shift. She was protecting her from everyone else knowing. She is in so much danger, Dimitri. If someone finds out who she is…’

Skol stopped talking because a wave of panic washed over him.

‘I know,’I said.‘I will protect her, Skol. We will protect her.’

“What do we do now?” Will mumbled, interrupting my conversation with my wolf.

I tightened my hold on Maddie.

“No one can know,” I said, using my Alpha order. “You are not allowed to tell anyone who she is and what she can do.”

The three of them bowed their heads immediately.

“Yes, Alpha,” they said at the same time.

Oliver wasn’t a part of my pack, but I was his King and my Alpha order worked on him as well. I barely knew him and I had to assure myself that he wouldn’t betray his King and Queen.

I trusted Will and Ellie with my life, but I needed to be sure that they wouldn’t tell. Being bound by the Alpha order was the best way to do it.

The pack doctor wasn’t going to tell anyone anything. He was already under my Alpha's order not to tell anyone about her power. He didn’t know who she was and it was going to stay like that.

No one could know.

“I have to tell Mike,” Maddie mumbled, making me look at her.
