Two days passed and all that time Kael locked himself away from everyone including his his guards. The people in the palace wondered what was going on with him but they did not dare go into the tower where he had himself locked away from prying eyes.
Ara meanwhile spent the days preparing for what he viewed as the battle for his life. He could already envision himself as king and he could not wait till he was sitting on the Lycan throne as the befitting king that he was.
He had grown up with the belief that the throne was rightfully his because it had been stolen from his father who had been the older son and who should have automatically been named king.
He had thought that he would be the favored one to be crowned king since Kael was a half man but somehow immediately Kael recovered he had become king while his father who should have been the rightful king was given the ceremonial title of grand vizier.
