King Viktor and Beta Nolan were surprised by the sudden appearance of the mate of the Alpha King.
Persephone was supposed to be in her own fortress. The Alpha King made a fortress for her surrounded by Alpha King's elite warriors. The Alpha King made sure that she is protected and safe since she is his mate and a werewolf's mate can be both strength and weakness.
Once a mate of a werewolf dies or gets hurt especially after they have officially mated, the werewolf will feel a crushing pain of her loss. And even when a werewolf's mate gets hurt, they will feel the pain. The sensation of pain is felt each other by the werewolves.
That is why King Viktor tries his best to protect Persephone and keeps her within grasp or within his territory.
"Oh, Persephone! Why are you here? You are supposed to be in your chambers. Nolan! Where are her guards?" King Viktor query.
