Gillean I open the door to find a small desk not far from the door and behind it is a female Lycan, but she doesn’t look up as I close the door. “Do you know where I can find anything that has to do with the build of the Palace?” I ask and that seems to draw her attention away from whatever she was doing. I can see that she is linking someone and a moment later she gets up to walk down the hallway in front of me, I decide to follow her even though she didn’t say anything. The hallway ends in a huge space filled with all kinds of furniture and I am glad she seems to know where we are going, if I had to find it on my own I would be her for a few days. “Everything you need is here.” She says as she points towards a bookshelf and a filing cabinet. “Thank you, I appreciate the help.” I say before she walks off again, I assume to sit behind that little desk again. I start with the filing cabinet, but I find out it only contains files on every member of the Royal Family and I even find a file on me. I grab the file to look at its contents, but I find out that the years I spend in White Rock Pack aren’t there. The files on my Brothers are updated until we left for White Rock Pack and I wonder why there is nothing else in the files about us, “I doubt Dad knew we were Royals, he probably would have used it to his advantage.” Mace says to me and I just nod my head. Looking at the bookshelf I wonder where I should start, after staring at it for a few minutes I decide to start at the top and I grab a ladder that is standing against the wall. I climb to the top of the ladder to look at the titles, but all I find is a row full of journals and at the beginning is a large Book. I grab that one first to see what the journals might be about and I carefully climb down the ladder to sit down at a desk. I open the book in front of me and I find the family tree of the Royal Family. On the first page is an explanation of how to read this book and I quickly start turning pages to find the part that mentions my Grandmother, I find it when I am three quarters through the book. It is at the bottom of the page without the mention of Grandpa and I turn the page to find the start of our last generations, starting with Grandma again. I see Grandpa’s name mentioned next to her name and the name of the Pack they moved to, Grandpa’s birth Pack. I see my Mother’s name and next to it only the mentioning of her finding her Mate, I don’t see my Father’s name and I don’t see the names of my Brothers, just that she had three Pups. I am mentioned in this family tree and I turn back a few pages before it sinks in, only the ones with a Lycan are mentioned in the family tree. It is all the information I find, no mention of my moving to White Rock Pack or the death of my Mother and now I have even more questions. I haven’t had the chance to ask Grandma why I never knew that I was a Royal, now I want to know why there is no mention of my Mother’s death or the rest of my family or my move to White Rock Pack. But this wasn’t why I came to the Archive and I really need to find those answers, because they might also explain why Jo-Anna knew of that room but no one else. I leave the family tree on the desk and climb back up to grab the first journal, this is a journal written by King Damon about the major changes within the Kingdom and I know I can skip this journal to find answers. “Grandma.” I say through the mind-link. “What is it, Gillean?” She asks. I think for a brief moment how to formulate my question, “When you lived here, did you ever hear about the hidden room?” I ask her and for a moment she is quiet, but a moment later I hear her voice again. “No, I can’t remember anyone ever talking about it.” She says and I know I have to take a look at the journals that were written by the Kings that ruled before her Brother did. The next journal was written by Grandma’s Brother and I quickly place it back to grab the next one. I read through it to find nothing of interest and after two more journals from other Kings that hold no clue, I am ready to give up for the day. It is close to lunch time and I think I am in need of some food and a large coffee, but Mace wants me to check one more journal. Reluctantly I walk back up the ladder to place this one back in it’s rightful place and grab the next journal to read through. The first entry is the day after he took over after his Father and Uncle died and I find out that his Father died at the hands of his Uncle, he had to take over before he found his Mate. Something that hardly ever happens within the Royal Family, most Kings give their heir about ten years before they step down. It gives the new couple time to make a family of their own and for the future Queen to learn what she needs to learn. It gives them time to prepare for a very different life and I am glad I will never have to worry about such a public life, I can stay out of the spotlight to do what I do best. Finding answers to questions someone has or to put security measures in places to keep others safe and so many other things like that. When Grandpa pointed out that I could become part of the King’s Army to help keep more people safe than just our Pack, I was surprised he even thought that far about my future. Now I think it also might have had something to do with me being a Royal or with Grandma wanting to go home and neither one would be willing to leave me again. I might be nineteen but to them I am still a little Pup, Mace is chuckling in my head as I turn the next page. It is about the King finding his fated Mate and how he almost lost her due to a very conniving Elder, not that much has changed in the department of Elders wanting more control and power. Some Elders still try to get their Daughter or other female relatives in Casimir’s bed, I don’t have a doubt about that.
