Armas gets out of his seat, slowly and starts walking towards us, his expression reveals nothing. He keeps his eyes on Maya, but she is still unaware of the attention directed at her.
Suddenly she snaps her head in Armas’ direction and asks him if she can help him with something.
Then it happens, something I thought I would never see again in my lifetime. Armas gets down on one knee and bows his head to Maya as he says “Your Highness.”
As one, the rest of us get down on one knee and repeat his words “Your Highness.”
I can feel Maya stiffen and through the mind-link I ask Armas permission to get back up, so I can try and calm her down. He grants me my request and I don’t waste a second.
“Princess Maya, everything is fine. Council-member Armas can explain everything to you.” I say as I step next to her.
“Kaelan, don’t play games. This is not funny. Tell them to stop this.” She whispers and we can all tell that she is very uncomfortable with the situation.
Armas gets up and holds out his hand, Maya hesitates for a second before she places her hand in his. As they walk towards the armchairs and couches, he tells her that he will tell her everything he knows and that he will answer any question she might have.
Amand, Camden and I follow close behind, because we will protect her at all costs. Like we had done for her Mother until the day she ran away from home. We had been appointed as her personal Guards the day she turned sixteen and we still blame ourselves for not seeing the threat from within
Armas’ P.O.V.
When Vivyanna had called me and told me about Camden’s suspicions, I had almost fallen of my chair.
He and two other Deltas had been send to get Alpha Ronan’s Daughter after the Pack had convicted her of charges brought against her by Alpha Ronan’s chosen Mate.
When they had seen the girl, they had sensed her authority and seen similarities with Princess Izabella. After she had told them her Mother’s name, they had contacted the Council.
Vivyanna called me to come to the Council and confirm their suspicion on her identity. At first I had been stunned and I refused to get my hopes up, but now I know that they had been correct. She is a Royal and she is Princess Izabella’s Daughter.
“Will you tell me your name? It will make a conversation a lot easier.” She looks at me and tells me her name. I see one of the other Councilmembers frown and I ask through the mind-link what is bothering him.
“According to records of the Pack, send to us after she was born, her name is May.” I look at Maya and wonder what the meaning behind this information might be.
“Maya, you told Amand that your Mother was known to the Pack as Bella. Do you know why?” I ask and I hope she can shed some light on this situation.
She tells us that her Mother had not been able to tell her everything before she died. She continues her story by telling us that her Mother was very secluded and that her Father didn’t bother with her much. That she had started to realize, around the age of ten, that her Father might not be faithful to her Mother and I can sense that everyone is getting angrier the more she tells us. Finding out her Father put our Princess through that is enough to warrant his death.
“Maya, your Mother told you the truth when she said that her Brother had chosen a Mate for her. He had hoped that with your Mother mated to this man, he would gain a lot of control.
Unfortunately for him, your Mother was aware of the man’s cruelty and abusive nature. After your Mother ran away from home, his Son, your Cousin found out what his Father had been up to and he killed his Father, your Uncle.”
I can see that thoughts are running through her head and suddenly she looks at me and says “It reminds me of the story Elder Matthew told me about the King.”
“Maya, your Mother was Princess Izabella.” I let this sink in and wait for her to respond or to start asking questions.
Maya’s P.O.V.
For a moment my mind goes blank at Armas’ words and then the questions start running through my mind.
“What does this mean, Ivory? Why did Mother never tell me? What will happen now?” I am confused, but then Ivory puts her two cents in.
“It means that your Father missed out on his power trip. What do you think would have happened if he had known who your Mother was?” Her remark sends me in to a fit of laughter, imagining the look on his face when he finds out.
Tears stream down my face as I imagine Alena’s face, when she finds out that I am actually a Royal and a Lycan. Ivory is rolling around in my head and I have to hold my stomach.
“Your Highness.” I hear Armas say and it takes me a while before I am able to look at him, but it takes even longer before I am able to speak a word.
“Sorry, Council-member Armas. But Ivory and I were imagining my Father’s face when he discovers who his Mate was. Oh, and of course Alena’s face once she finds out that I fooled all of them.” I have a huge smile on my face as I look at Armas.
