No POV: Royal Palace

The King and queen sat nervously on their thrones, waiting in painful silence for something, anything, about the disturbances at the Crystal Heart pack. They definitely thought it was strange. There had not been any border disturbances, or complains of rogue sightings so they were slightly unnerved. 

For all they know, it could be anything from a feral rogue, (A shifter that has given fully into their leopard side) to a dark shifter, to just a normal rogue looking for trouble. 

The king was impatiently pacing up and down the throne room muttering to himself. The Queen, who was getting increasingly agitated, sat, head in hand, staring at her pacing husband. 

Queen Anastasia: Oh for the Azuron Goddesses sake, stop walking up and down the room Lucierre, you are making me dizzy for crying out loud. 

The King stopped and faced his wife, looking at her meekly. He sighed and approached her,

King Lucierre: I'm sorry, my love. I'm just worried that is all, the messengers should be here soon. 

Queen Anastasia: I know, I am too. Just come and sit down. 

They sat down and tried easing their nerves. If leaders show nerves, their followers descend into chaos.

Right on time, the messenger scrambled into the throne room, and quickly did some sort of awkward, half-bow. The King smiled slightly amused at this, whereas the queen just hurried him along even more,

Queen Anastasia: Well then? What are the Guards ETA? Have they got the captures?

Messenger: Yes, Your majesty, they do have the new prisoners on their way now. They are both currently unidentified shifters, one of them is 100% from the... Underrealm, my Queen. They tried to resist, but the Guards -with ease and success- restricted their arms with the gold chains, and are almost here, not traveling in leopard forms due to this. 

The Queen let out a big sigh of relief. No one was killed. They are almost here, and it's unlikely they are strong shifters if they were restrained so easily. But the king, was worried and said to the messenger,

King Lucierre: Thank you, you may go, just let me know once the intruders are subdued in the cells, and make sure its the Gold coated bars, we don't know what the Underrealm Shifters could be capable of. 

The messenger nodded, and walked away, catching his shoelace on the doorframe and almost falling forward. Lucierre rolled his eyes then turned to his wife,

King Lucierre: Ana. If one and possibly two of them are from the Underrealm, unless they are powerful shifters, and somehow survived alone, they are from Diaboli's pack. After questioning, we have to be lenient and try not to kill them. You know what Diaboli is like, if we kill someone from his pack, and they are valuable in any way, he won't be afraid to start a possible war. William, the Head of renovations, told me that they train brutally. So we need to be smart, okay?

Queen Anastasia: Yes, I 100% agree. But, the thing is, out of everywhere, why the Crystal Heart Pack?  I mean, not in a bad way, but the Crystal Moon pack is less modern, meaning there is less valuables, and things there to steal or damage out of malicious intent. It's all a little strange. If we can't get any answers out of the two of them, we need to call Monarch Izekiel Crystal Heart's Monarch, to see if  they know why the intruders were there in the first place.

Around 25 minutes later, the messenger entered the room, even paler then he usually is,

Queen Anastasia: What is it? What's wrong...?

Messenger: One of the intruders have been identified as a man, around a young adult. And the other...a...... a teenage girl...

The Queen passed out in her chair at the messengers words........
