“Stop this at once,” the King said.

It was then that I noticed, Julian had swiftly moved around the stage without catching his mother’s attention. I hadn’t seen him move either.

Yet there he was, standing behind the King like he had been there all along. Like he had just been whispering in the King’s ear.

The Luna turned toward the King, frowning. “What is the meaning of this?” She spoke with indignation, but in a reserved, demure kind of way that kept her from raising her voice to her husband.

The King ignored her. To the guard that was holding me down by the shoulder, he said, Remove Terry’s shirt.”



Terry, who had been standing stoic, suddenly took a step backwards. His eyes widened for a half-second before narrowing. “What are you talking about?” He smiled but his voice was too tight for any calm to seem genuine. “You can’t be serious?”

The guard looked to the King. The King waved him forward.

The guard moved his hand from me and walked toward Terry instead. Terry started to pale.

“But,” the Luna began to say, but a quick, sharp look from the King silenced her.



“You can’t do this to me,” Terry said. “D-don’t you know who I am?”

Nicholas came up onto the stage, to my side. He gently eased me up onto my feet.

Terry stood ramrod straight, facing off against the guard. “Don’t you dare touch me!”

The guard lunged. Terry attempted to dodge but his pampered body moved slower than that of a trained soldier. The guard gripped the back of Terry’s shirt and held fast. Terry himself pulled away and, the shirt tore away.

As he turned to face the crowd, whose eyes were wide watching the unexpected action unfold, his bare torso was on display. On the right side of his body, along his ribs, was a tattoo of an upside down wolf skull.

Someone gasped. A few of the candidates covered their mouths. I glanced at Nicholas for explanation.

He was stunned speechless for a moment. Then he spoke, “The upside down wolf skull is a symbol of the underground organization. I didn’t know someone would… tattoo themselves with it.”



The producers seemed uncertain. G od knew what the camera feeds were actually capturing.

The guards wasted no time clamping handcuffs onto Terry’s wrists. The clack of the cuffs being tightened, seemed to snap something awake in him. The panic dimmed, replaced now with hatred and brimstone. He straightened to his full height, lifted his chin in defiance, and spoke loudly. “You think you can hold me. You doubt my importance. When I am free, you all will suffer. I will see to it personally.” “Get him out of here,” the King snapped. The guards pushed Terry forward. Terry moved, but he did not silence himself. “The kingdom will fall!” The guards pushed Terry nearer to me, on their trek to remove him from the stage. Instinctively, I inched closer to Nicholas. Nicholas wrapped his


Nicholas snarled.

Terry smirked. Softer, he said, “Enjoy this victory while you can, nephew. It will gut dat After Terry was removed from the ballroom, an uncomfortable silence settled over the The excitement had dimmed, but the overall mood remained lense. No one seemed qui about to process what they had seen.

I was trembling like a leaf, even with Nichola s’s arm around me. I knew Terry for where was. I wasn’t surprised that he had been caught, but the overall suddenness of it left un feeling uncertain.
