"TWO PRINCES?!", King Baralt shouted in shock.
His expression is as if he just heard the most unbelievable thing in his life, King Baralt even stepped back a couple of steps as he can't believe what he was hearing.
With utmost shock, "H-How didn't we know anything about their awakening?!"
"I don't know, naturally a Prince should've emitted a powerful Mythical Energy upon awakening which we Werewolves can instantly feel. It shouldn't happen like this, I never heard a situation like this before", Hallac explains with a troubled look.
For a Prince to Awakened, the Werewolves will definitely feel their presence.
Because the prince will emit a mythical presence that is very sensitive to Werewolves, naturally their presence cannot be hidden from the Werewolves.
To think that two Princes have Awakened, and they didn't have any clue about it.
King Baralt was still at a loss for words before Hallac suddenly said, "Look!"
"The majority of the spell went to that direction. The prince in that direction has a purer bloodline than the other one there's no doubt", he added while pointing in a direction.
Hearing this, King Baralt glance at an armored Werewolf and asks, "What is in that direction?"
"I believe it's the human territory my King, there's nothing else in that direction aside from the human territory", the armored Werewolf replied politely.
This makes Hallac and King Baralt look at each other,
"It's the Werewolf in the human territory!", King Baralt shouted in realization.
Since the energy from the spell Hallac just conjured went towards the human territory direction, there's no doubt that the spell is going to the Werewolf in the human territory.
There are no explanations besides that,
Then suddenly, "My King! The other Prince seems to be near", Hallac suddenly said when he saw the small amount of his spell is landing not far from their territory.
Looking at this, King Baralt was even more flag battered since the Prince turns out to be near.
"One of the princes is near?!", King Baralt exclaims in surprise.
Realizing this, King Baralt's expression darkened as he asks, "Where is Ruston?"
"We haven't seen him around the castle, my King, it seems Ruston is attending to his pack", the armored Werewolf replied hurriedly.
But this makes King Baralt start to get angry, "Find him!", he commanded.
"What is he doing when we needed him the most! Find him and bring him here now! We need to devise a plan to capture the Prince", he added while waving his hand aggressively.
Hearing this, the armored Werewolf bowed before leaving the room.
Meanwhile,
"Ruston, look! The Lunar Eclipse energy... I can see it!", a fierce Werewolf with many scars around his body points at the full moon, there's subtle red energy going towards them.
More specifically, going to the ritual conducted in front of them.
Looking at this, the smile on Ruston's face can't be hidden showing that he's excited about this.
Zegrath is currently chanting non-stop trying to focus the energy towards him,
The sacrifice for the ritual, the Supernatural that has been gathered started to feel their powers getting drained fast as their life force also got sucked out of their bodies.
Only a handful of high-rank Supernatural was left wailing,
The other Supernaturals that have below sixth rank power have already died, their life forces are not abundant like the high-rank one and they are unable to handle the ritual power.
"Come to me! Acknowledge me!", Zegrath shouted while spreading his arms apart.
With immense dark energy coursing through his body, Zegrath looks at the Lunar Eclipse energy heading towards him with a crazed look.
Even the Werewolves around him started to cheer upon seeing this,
Some of them even started to tear up as they felt surreal about the situation, it has been a long time since a Prince conducted this kind of ritual.
The Supernaturals hierarchy was about to change with this,
After Zegrath becomes strong enough to challenge King Baralt and take his throne, the Werewolves under the Scarlet Banes flag will definitely evolve under Zegrath's guidance.
It will bring the Werewolves in a new height of power,
There's no doubt that if that were to happen, the Scarlet Banes Kingdom will definitely occupy the strongest Supernatural spot.
No other Prince other than the Werewolves have awakened,
The Origin has bestowed them with a headstart to raise the Werewolves' power, and the Werewolves around Zegrath are witnessing history to be made.
Even Ruston can feel his body trembling in excitement,
His hopeful expression can be seen clearly, but then something happened,
"Hmm?", Zegrath mumbles in confusion when he saw a huge chunk of the energy go away from him, he was completely confused as he saw the energy going further away.
Looking at this, Ruston started to frowns, "What happened? Why did the energy go away?"
"I don't know...This is weird", Zegrath replied in confusion, based on his calculation all of the energy should've gone to him since he even possesses a bloodline purer than King Baralt.
The other Werewolves are also confused,
After a moment, the leftover Lunar Eclipse energy went towards Zegrath before instantly killing the remaining Supernatural sacrifice that are still alive.
"Waaahh!"
"Raarrghh!"
Wailing sounds can be heard as the Lunar Eclipse energy ripped the life out of the sacrifice.
SWOOSH!
Zegrath's body then started to be bathed by the Lunar Eclipse energy as his body got strengthened immensely, his expression is that of a painful one.
ROAR!!
He even started to roar madly upon feeling the Lunar Eclipse energy,
But deep down Zegrath was not as excited after seeing that more than half of the energy that he should've absorbed turned away.
While this is all happening, Ruston look at where the energy disappears with a frown.
"Just where is the rest of the energy going?", he mumbles.
But then, his eyes suddenly widen after thinking of an impossible possibility that might explain who attracted the Lunar Eclipse energy, "Is there another Prince?"

Back to Rex,
Cough! Cough!
Rex is coughing blood a couple of times feeling his internal organs trembling, the painful feeling is evident through his pained expression as he holds his chest in pain.
This came out of nowhere and it caught Rex by surprise,
Looking at this, Adhara was at a loss in what to do while Rex is filled with pain.
In an attempt to help Rex ease his pain, Adhara grabs Rex's hand trying to give him strength as Rex grit his teeth trying to hold the pain.
While he's doing this, Adhara looks around as a lookout.
Although she's trying to remain calm, her expression shows that she's under much stress.
'Please, Don't look this way', Adhara thought hoping that the 25 Golden Crest Families to not look in their direction, it will be suspicious if they saw Rex in this much pain.
But then suddenly, Adhara suddenly saw a man looking at them from afar,
The man is around their age, and it's clear that he's one of the descendants of the 25 Families.
In a panic, Adhara hugs Rex's head trying to pretend to comfort him. She even kisses Rex a couple of times trying to make the man look away in discomfort.
Adhara didn't look back at the man to not make it suspicious,
But while she was panicking about the man, she suddenly felt something on her chest as she looks down at Rex before her eyes widen in surprise,
Crack!
Slowly but surely, Rex's horns started to grow.
Rex who is gripping Adhara's hand powerfully, Adhara can feel his fingernails also starting to become sharp and on the brink of turning into claws.
This shouldn't have happened to them,
Rex never had a full moon problem since he's the one that watch over Adhara and Kyran during the full moon, so this situation came too sudden.
"You're turning Rex! Stop!", Adhara whispers lightly.
Hearing this, Rex then replied struggling against the pain, "I...I'm trying!"
Seeing Rex trying desperately to forcefully stay in his human form, Adhara looks around trying to find a secluded place but what can she do when this place is crowded with people.
The thought of leaving the room crossed her mind, but it will surely attract attention to them.
Crack!
Adhara suddenly jolted when her hand suddenly get stabbed by Rex's hand, she bit her lips helplessly before hugging Rex's body, "Please don't do this, Please...", she whispers.
If Rex turns into a Werewolf here,
It will all be over with so many powerful Awakened here, Rex will have no chance of escaping especially since there is a ninth rank Awakened right here and now.
Sebrof for example can crush Rex in a blink of an eye.
Tears started to filled Adhara's eyes as she hoped Rex didn't turn,
While Adhara is hoping for Rex to stop his transformation, weird energy suddenly came out of her body and it started to envelop both her and Rex at the same time.
Upon feeling this weird energy from Adhara, notifications appear on Rex's vision.
<Female Alpha Energy, Reduce 50% of the Pain Brought by the Ritual>
<Shared Authority has been commenced!>
Right after the notifications appeared, Rex can feel the pain recede as he struggles to straighten his back while still fighting against the pain.
But it's not as painful as before thanks to Adhara,
Adhara looks at Rex worriedly before she asks, "Is it over? What happen to you?"
"I'm going to explain to you later. But now, help me get out of here for a moment", Rex said before he looks at the exit intending to leave.
Although he's okay right now, Rex can feel that something is heading towards him.
It was just a hunch that Rex is feeling, but Rex trusted his hunch and his hunch told him that whatever thing heading towards him will be too much to handle.
He needs to leave this place before the thing arrives,
Hearing this, Adhara finally helped Rex to stand up while trying to look as natural as possible since Rex can feel Wesley's gaze is on him.
The both of them started walking but then suddenly,
"Adhara, I didn't expect to meet you here", a voice suddenly greeted them from the side.
Rex and Adhara stopped in their tracks upon hearing this voice, Adhara remembers this voice as both of them turns towards the source of the voice.
The familiar face greeted them as Adhara replied, "Sir Daniel! A pleasure to meet you here"
Daniel chuckles for a bit before his eyes then landed on Rex who is standing stiffly beside Adhara, he points at Rex while squinting his eyes, "You must be Rex Silverstar"
"Pleasure to meet you Sir Daniel", Rex replied hurriedly.
The pain is still taking a toll on him slowly, he even swallows back the blood that is trying to gush out of his mouth to maintain his image in front of Daniel.
With a smile, Daniel then said, "Has Adhara told you about my request?"
"Of course, *Cough*, I'll gladly spar with your son. So How about we planned the date of the spar?", Rex replied while gulping roughly.
Looking at this, Daniel notices Rex's weird behavior, "You can do it now"
"Both of you can duke it out in a bit, It'll be the 25 Golden Crest Families meeting soon. So the kids will stay here, and at that time- Forgive me, but are you okay?", Daniel added but changed the subject seeing Rex's weak expression.
Adhara then intervenes, "We're about to leave for the toilet"
"I'm sorry Sir Daniel, but can we resume this talk in a bit?", Rex added before Daniel nodded his head as both of them excuse themselves and left.
It seems Daniel misunderstood something since he's grinning while looking at them leave.
Upon leaving the room,
"Huakhh!", Rex throws up blood as he leans his hand on the wall.
Some of the hotel staff approached him in worry, but Adhara denied their help.
It was only by sheer will that Rex can hold the pain in front of Daniel, but right after he's in the clear, Rex instantly throws up blood that he held all this while.
Adhara looks around before she decided to head to the toilet,
She grab Rex's arm before helping him go to the toilet, but when they were about to head towards the toilet Rex's hand suddenly got grabbed by someone.
Feeling this, Rex immediately retracts his hand back in reflex.
Although Rex is currently in so much pain, he's still on full alert ready for anything that might happen like the Atkins trying to do something to him.
But when he glanced to the left, he lowers his guard upon realizing who it is.
"Don't go that way!", Evelyn said in a hurry, she saw that Rex is not feeling well from afar and decided to run after him and Adhara outside.
Hearing this, Adhara frowns, "What do you mean?"
"Look!", Evelyn pointed to a direction where a group of men are eyeing them.
Adhara was surprised upon seeing this, and after looking at Rex for confirmation they both then follow Evelyn as the three of them started to run.
The group of men also runs after them upon seeing them run,
"Right this way!", Evelyn shouted heading down towards the lobby.
Many of the guild members can already be seen filling the first floor, but this acts as a perfect cover for them that is being chased by the group of men.
At this point, Adhara is supporting Rex to run.
They went through the crowd of people, and under Evelyn's guidance, they manage to escape.
Adhara looks back and saw the group of men is looking left and right, they manage to lose the group of men as they headed towards a hallway on the first floor.
The hotel is very big, and after following the hallway connected to the lobby.
The three of them arrive at a hallway full of VIP suites, Evelyn guides them to a room before she signals for Adhara and Rex to get in.
Without having any other choice,
Rex and Adhara went inside before Evelyn shut the door instantly.
Right after they went inside the room, Rex make Adhara let go as he fall on the ground in pain.
Evelyn looks at him in worry before she asks, "What's wrong with him? Is he sick?"
"Umm...", Adhara was thinking of an answer to tell but then, she saw Rex signal to her by waving his hand towards the toilet.
But Adhara didn't get what Rex is trying to say,
Rex gritted his teeth, he can feel something is nearing him as the pain become worse than before, "IT'S COMING!! ARGHH!!"
