King Atkinson could hardly sleep after retiring to his chambers. He had given Lord Barak the cake and wine to carry out the experiment on what really killed Luca. The king was hanging on a thread of hope that maybe Luca wasn't poisoned by anyone from the palace. With hope that he was poisoned by someone from his pack before he came to that palace. On that note things would be easier for him. He wondered the kind of actions the pack of Werewolves will take and how Lucas will even react to the death of his brother in the palace.
Thinking about Lucas his heart also went out to Princess Joan whose state of well being he had no idea about. The last time he heard from Freya his sister she was at the soldiers camp close to the forest. Almost everyone he loves was in one form of trouble and there was little he could do to savage the situation.
