Chapter 268 Take Gillean "Grandma." I say through the mind-link. “What is it, Gillean?" She asks.
Finished I think for a brief moment how to formulate my question, "When you lived here, did you ever hear about the hidden room?" I ask her and for a moment she is quiet, but a moment later I hear her voice again. "No, I can't remember anyone ever talking about it." She say and I know I have to take a look at the journals that were written by the Kings that ruled before her Brother did.
The next journal was written by Grandma's Brother and I quickly place it back to grab the next one. I read through it to find nothing of interest and after two more journals from other Kings that hold no clue, I am ready to give up for the day. It is close to lunch tand I think I am in need of sfood and a large coffee, but Mace wantsto check one more journal.
Reluctantly I walk back up the ladder to place this one back in it's rightful place and grab the next journal to read through. The first entry is the day after he took over after his Father and Uncle died and I find out that his Father died at the hands of his Uncle, he had to take over before he found his Mate. Something that hardly ever happens within the Royal Family, most Kings give their heir about ten years before they -step down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt gives the new couple tto make a family of their own and for the future Queen to learn what she needs to learn. It gives them tto prepare for a very different life and I am glad I will never have to worry about such a public life, I can stay out of the spotlight to do what I do best. Finding answers to questions someone has or to put security measures in places to keep others safe and so many other things like that.
When Grandpa pointed out that I could becpart of the King's Army to help keep more people safe than just our Pack, I was surprised he even thought that far about my future. Now I think it also might have had something to do withbeing a Royal or with Grandma wanting to go hand neither one would be willing to leaveagain.
I might be nineteen but to them I am still a little Pup, Mace is chuckling in my head as I turn the next page. It is about the King finding his fated Mate and how he almost lost her due to a very conniving Elder, not that much has changed in the department of Elders wanting more control and power. SElders still try to get their Daughter or other female relatives in Casimir's bed, I don't have a doubt about that.
It is because of this King that a lot changed for the Elders and I smile when I realize that he almost dismantled the Council of Elders. His Royal Gamma was the next one to find his fated Mate, but this time- it was the Gamma that had a problem with his Mate and it took an order from the King for him to even spent twith her. His Mate decided she didn't need this kind of trouble and moved to the edge of the Palace grounds without telling anyone.
After three weeks of dealing with a Gamma that was slowly losing control of his Lycan the King told him where he could find his Mate, but gave him the warning that if she rejected him for his behavior he would have to accept it. Luckily for the Gamma and the Kingdom she didn't reject him, but it took a few months before she finally accepted him as her Mate.
The Royal Beta was a different story, it took him quite a long tto find his Mate and when that finally happened it brought an entire different scala of problems with it. "Yes." I say out loud as-I find a mention of remodeling the Palace, but I keep reading the story of the Beta and his Mate from.. "Oh, Fuck." I mumble because I finally understand why the room was built and who it was meant for I grab the journal and the book with our family tree before I rush out of the Archive. I don't even answer 1/3 22:40 Fri, Jan 31 Chapter 268 Take 4 22% Finished the female when she askswhere I am going with those books. Everyone that works in the Royal wings looks atas I rush passed them and even though a few of them call afterI ignore them, quickly making my way up to the King's floor.
"Okay, where is the fire?" Casimir asks when I burst through the door and I drop the books on the coffee table before I turn to my Grandmother, "You have squestions to answer, Grandma. I think I can manage to answer a few on my own, but there is a question only you and Grandpa can answer and I want the damn truth.” I growl at her.
I grab the large book and open it to the last written page. "What is missing from this page, Grandma?" I ask, my voice laced with Mace's voice. I have never talked to anyone like this before and I never thought Grandma would be the first one to hear it, but I need answers from her. Grandpa grabs the book and reads through the page from the top. I can tell when he realizes what I am talking about.
"Gillean..." Grandpa starts but one growl in his direction makes him shut up and I keep my eyes on Grandma for an answer, but all she does is shake her head. "Commander Morgan, I have found the answers we were looking for. When you have tcfindon the Beta floor, I am done here." I say before I walk out the door with the journal that holds the answer and I slam the door shut behind me.
a I know Mom is a sore topic with Grandma, but as her son I have a right to know why her death isn't recorded in the family tree. I walk into my room to sit down in an armchair that is facing the window, I don't see anything as I stare out side and I don't need to as I try to figure out why Grandma couldn't answer my question. Neither one of us has ever lied to the other or with held information for the other. but she couldn't answer a simple question. Mace is growling and pacing in the back of my head and he is getting more agitated by the second. I feel a hand on my shoulder and as I look up I see that Roan followed me, "Care to tellwhat that was about?" He asks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"That book holds every family tree of the Royal family. I know that my Father and Brothers aren't mentioned because they are Wolves. There are two things missing from the tree though, my moving to White Rock Pack and my Mother's death." I say as I lean my head on the back of the couch and I just stare at the ceiling.
Roan doesn't say anything as we sit there and I appreciate that he is allowingto process this without pushing me. A knock on the door makes him get up and a moment later I hear Morgan's voice, "Is Gillean okay?" is her question and I think Grandpa told them I usually don't talk that way to them. Well, it seems that there is a first tfor everything.
I slowly sit up straight as Morgan and Jaylen walk further into my bedroom, Jaylen pulls Morgan onto his lap as he sits down in another armchair and I grab the journal from the small table in front of me.-“This journal belongs to a King that ruled centuries ago, he is Damon's third Great Grandfather and in this I found the answer. He was forced to take over before he found his Mate and his Royal Beta was the last one to find his Mate.
That is also where it gets interesting, because Morgan is related to Roan. Your ancestor was mated to the Royal Beta and for her protection the room was built.say before I hand the journal over to Morgan and I see a smile appear on her face.
"Mom toldher story at bedtand I would ask her over and over to tell it toagain, but back then I didn't know the truth. She was the one female that didn't find a horrible Mate, untilof course." She says as she leans closer to Jaylen and I see her smiling a Roan as he just stares at her. “I never knew we had a special bloodline in our family." He mumbles before he takes the journal from Morgan to read it himself, 2/3 22:40 Fri, Jan 31 Chapter 268 Take Finished
teasing Roan and I hear Morgan giggle when Roan's Lycan growls at Jaylen. The plans for the secretm staircase and the loom are described in the journal, but wasn't able to find any drawings of it and I think I need to head back to the Archive to find out if anyone can take these journals out of there.
I was to exited with my find to consider the fact that I would have to sign somewhere dr that maybe I I wouldn't be allowed to take them with me. €10 902
