Elian's POV
*****
"What's happening to the king?"
"Someone get help!"
"Poison?"
"Is the wine poisoned?!"
"Don't drink the wine!"
Elian watched as the event hall erupted into utter chaos, the guests gasping, murmuring and screaming in terror while the Alpha king fell to his knees.
Arian had his right hand clutching his chest, his breaths haggard. His wife was the first to act, rushing to his side and grabbing him by his shoulders.
"Arian? Arian... Stay with me." She spoke with a shaky voice, gently helping him lay on her body while she sat on the floor.
Meanwhile, Kyren and Lucian went into action, getting on their feet.
"Definitely the Dark hand at work." The Rogue king spoke with his usual calm, although there was a hint of shock deep in his voice.
Elian's eyes flicked to Lucian, watching his expression shift.
The Alpha Prince tried keeping a calm face but he was clearly shaken. Disoriented.
