"Woild you at least tell me where you’re going to?" Roland asked.
She finished wearing her earrings and looked at herself in the mirror.
She sighed heavily and turned back to her husband.
"No." She said. "Just know that I’m fine and safe."
Roland was her husband yes, but she wanted to limit him from knowing about the things she had recently discovered.
She didn’t want him to jeopardize it the same way Cherry had jeopardized her knowing who had sent Bernice to poison her.
Cherry had said she had done it for her own good, but killing Bernice had closed an easy door for her.
Now she wanted to visit Bernice’s family.
Hopefully she would get some clarity from it.
She remembered what Bernice had told her had led her to being blackmailed in the first place.
She turned to her husband.
"The rule that was made preventing members of our pack and allies from using mage magic who made them?" She asked him.
"Using mage magic? What?" Roland asked completely confused and taken aback.
"A law was enacted after I lost we lost Scarlett. It prevented all packs under our claim from using mage magic."
"Yeah I can remember that." Roland mumbled to himself.
"Good." Rose nodded to him. "Who enforced the law?"
Roland shrugged his shoulders. "Members of the wolf council? It was to be protections against the mages."
"And it’s still in law ever since?" She pressed on further."
"Yes I think so. That’s the most random question you’ve ever asked me." Roland said. "Why are you asking me this questions out of the blue."
"I just wanted to know." Rose said and then she put on the hood of her beautiful coat and said to her husband as she left the bedroom.
"I’ll be back."
And despite his arguments and disagreements of her choice of actions, she was out of the door.
She turned to find Hildegard already waiting for her outside.
"You found it?" Rose asked her discreetly once they were away from the guards.
"Yes." Hildegard handed her a neat and small paper.
Rose opened the paper and read through its contents.
"That’s the little I could find out about Bernice and her family." Hildegard said. "The other staff in the pack have good things to say. Her behavior was out of character. Everyone is still shocked that she could try to harm you."
Hildegard was the only person she could trust.
Not even her sister.
Especially after what happened the previous.
Not her husband too because he had the habit of criticizing lately.
Plus if he knew that she now believed that Scarlett was alive and she had resumed searching for her, then he would be furious.
So she had to keep all her findings to herself and Hildegard.
Together both women followed the back doors of the castle and three horses were waiting for them.
On one of them was Omega Logan.
He was still the lowest rank of wolves, but he was the skilled man Rose had ever seen.
He was able bodied and she had never seen anyone fight like him.
Despite his expertise, he had declined to rise among ranks remaining at the lowest ranks in the wolf hierarchy.
He was a bald man about six foot five in height.
He had an ugly scar across him eyes, and he looked terrifying and intimidating.
He was her personal bodyguard.
She didn’t need to tell him what she was doing.
He always followed and kept her safe.
She also knew that he would never say a word of anything that he followed her on.
He rarely ever said a word moreover.
He was loyal to her because she had found him when going to war with one of the packs and she had offered him revenge against his own enemies who happened to be hers.
After helping her finish the pack and take over, she gave him the Alpha alive and the liberty to kill him himself.
Since that day Logan had never left her side.
Due to her declining health and insistent search to look for her daughter she had distanced herself away from him and everything else she did.
This was the first time she had seen him in a long time.
"Your majesty." He said in his deep gruff voice. And then he bowed down to her. "It’s good to be of service to you again.
She held his arms and looked up at him, a smile on her face.
Then she surprised him by hugging him.
She finally let go and looked up at him.
"It’s very good to see you." She said.
