They feared that Helga and Siegren's relationship may now turn sour after this event. Their eyes darted back and forth between the couple, searching for any signs of discord as they tried to maintain their composure for the sake of appearances. "Do something about the Alpha King." Portia leaned in closer to David, her voice barely audible over the chatter of the banquet hall.
"I had already pleaded with him to treat his mate better, reminding him of the consequences if he followed in his father's. footsteps. But it only made him angry, David sighed, stealing a glance at the st where Siegren and Helga sat on a grand chair, receiving well wishes and presents from the guests. "I understand why he's trying to be distant and cold towards her. He doesn't want to risk hurting her, especially with the full moon approaching Portia sighed, "But it would be better if he could just communicate with the queen, I'm sure her majesty would understand him, too." "Siegren will give in eventually, I could see the way he looked at our Luna that he's interested in her but he's trying to fight it David wrapped his arm around his mate's waist and pulled her closer.

Portia beamed at him, giving him a quick kiss before diving into the feast. Across the room, Helga and Siegren had just finished accepting all of the gifts bestowed upon them. They hadn't uttered a word to each other since the reception began. and it was obvious to everyone present. Despite this being their wedding celebration, they seemed to barely even acknowledge one another's existence, and Ezra couldn't help but notice it.
He was aware that their relationship was doomed to fail, but the thought only brought a small smirk to his lips. Even though Helga had been crowned as Queen Luna and was now considered royalty, she couldn't escape the fact that she was an orphan. However, he couldn't shake off the memories of her, especially when he witnessed her strength as she single-handedly took down numerous wolves and bandits in the Ardan Woods. Her impressive abilities still amazed him to this day, and he hated that she had cut off all ties with him and the entire Incarnadine. His fingers tightened around the stem of his wine glass as the Alpha King abruptly rose from his seat and extended his hand. to Helga. Murmurs erupted throughout the hall at this unexpected gesture, causing Ezra to scowl as he watched Helga blush and accept the king's offer, descending the stairs to dance. In contrast, Helga was perplexed. She had not anticipated that Siegren would invite her to dance. While she was aware of the tradition for the Queen and King to share a dance, she had assumed that Siegren would also skip it, considering her behavior earlier. "I know you're mad but bear with it," he placed a calming hand on her waist and led her in a slow dance, holding her hand and guiding her movements. A chuckle left her lips as she put her hand around his neck. "I'm not mad, Your Majesty..." Helga said, looking at his eyes behind the mask. "I'm disappointed."
"It wasn't even that long when you me that you would do your best to never make me live a life as depressing as the previous Queen Lunas, yet here you are treating me like I'm not even your wife," she added, her voice filled with hurt and frustration. The guests surrounding them were mesmerized by the sight of the Alpha King and bis new queen dancing together for the first time. Their movements were graceful and in sync, their chemistry evident to all who watched.
"I know we don't love each other, but let's at least make an effort to get along, for the sake of the royal pack and Verdentia," Helga's words were laced with a hint of bitterness as she tried to appeal to Siegren's sense of duty. But he only responded by spinning her gently, he then took hold of her waist and pulled her closer, causing her breath to catch in her throat, her eyes widening in complete astonishment at the sudden show of physical affection from him.
"I understand," he calmly stated, causing her to blink in surprise. However, the conversation ended there, and as soon as the music ended, Helga gracefully bowed to him and Siegren gently kissed her hand. The crowd cheered, applauding the performance of the newly married couple without knowing about the danger to the royal bloodline and the assassination.

plot against Helga After all, Siegren had taken great care to keep any information about what was happening inside the palace and royal pack from leaking out in public.
That's why the banquet carried on, with music and laughter filling the air as guests danced and mingled. Helga was tempted to stay and revel in the joyous atmosphere, but she felt a strong urge to step outside and take a breath of fresh air so, she politely excused herself from the ladies chatting with her and made her way outside. Siegren caught sight of her while he was talking to the elders and quickly sent a mind-link message to Lucian, instructing him to keep an eye on Helga.
"I don't think someone's foolish enough to attack me when the palace is full of guests," Helga said, feeling the presence Gamma Lucian behind her back as she walked towards the garden.
"I know you need to spend some time alone, but it's the Alpha King's order, Laucian explained, following her steps.
