Watching The Strong Crumble

Upon hearing King Davin's hesitation, Cole turned to the king and queen and narrowed his eyes at them.

They both wouldn't meet his gaze. Something was amiss.

"We don't keep secrets between the kingdoms," the man said to his fellow monarchs.

"Hmm," Martha searched her husband's face. When King Davin nodded, the queen spoke up, "Then we have quite a number of secrets to tell you," Queen Martha sighed.

When everyone had just tuned in to listen, the queen went silent.

"Everyone except for my beta alphas. We'd like the room," Cole announced and they waited in silence as the betas and delta walked out of the Royal Suite.

"We'll start with the girl. She's a Seeker and she's under our protection at the moment…"

The king and his beta alphas were the only ones allowed to know this much about Madeline. This seemed to include Kyle as well.
