Caspian:The villa was quiet when we stepped inside, the soft hum of the garden outside filtering through the open windows. Valerie moved ahead of me, her steps light but purposeful as she led the way to the small sitting room.Neither one of us said a word for a few moments. It was as if neither on
I swallowed hard, a myriad of emotions flooding through me. “Valerie, I would never hurt him. You know that. He is my son, regardless of everything, you know that.”Her expression softened, a hint of sadness in her eyes. “I know. But it’s not just about you. It’s about the world we live in, about th
Valerie:The sun had dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the villa as I closed the door behind Caspian. His words lingered in the air, heavy and unsettling. Adrian wasn’t just special, he was something far beyond what I had imagined. And while Caspian's intention had been to prepar
His silhouette filled the doorway, his presence a stark contrast to the quiet of my home. His expression was guarded, the remnants of our earlier conversation still etched in the lines of his face.“Is he asleep?” he asked, his voice low.I nodded, stepping aside to let him in. “Yes. He went down ea
Caspian:I paced around my office as I tried to think straight, reading pages of ancient lore and prophecies that made little to no sense to me.Adrian was not just special, he was something beyond our world and I needed to know what that meant. I needed to understand the danger that it could impose
Valerie:The morning air was sharp and biting as I stepped out of the villa. I needed to get some air this morning, and for the first time, I just found myself being at a complete loss of what I would be doing.It was as if the earth itself sensed the brewing storm, the quiet before chaos. My instin
She laughed, the sound brittle and sharp. “Your son? He’s nothing but a threat. An anomaly. Do you even know what he is? What he could become? He is nothing but an illegitimate child, no matter what you are going to try and do.”I stiffened, my pulse thundering in my ears. “What are you talking abou
Caspian:“What are you doing in my pack?” Elias asked, not even turning around to face me.I found him in the training grounds, his shirt soaked with sweat, muscles taut as he moved through a series of combat drills. The rhythmic thud of his fists against the punching bag filled the air, a steady be
Eva:I read the paper, the message, three times before throwing it in the bin as my heart raced against my chest.Daniel, who was asleep, did not acknowledge the war that his mother was going through. I did not want him to, but this was getting too hard for me to be able to handle on my own.“Take c
Caspian:The room was dimly lit, the soft glow of the lanterns casting shadows along the walls. The steady rhythm of Valerie’s breathing filled the silence, but it did nothing to ease the tightness in my chest.Just as she has been for the past few days.She was still unconscious. Still unmoving.Th
Giovanni:Eva paced the length of the dimly lit study, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her movements sharp with frustration. I leaned back in my chair, watching her with mild amusement as I swirled the dark amber liquid in my glass.She was angry. Impatient. Reckless.Typical.“You had her,
Caspian:Valerie looked small.I had never seen her like this, pale, still, vulnerable. The woman who had spent the last few months defying me, challenging me at every turn, was lying unconscious on the infirmary bed, her breathing shallow, her body still.The sight twisted something deep in my ches
Caspian:Something was wrong.“She left the pack grounds, Alpha.” Mateo said, looking at me. I have been looking for value for the past hour. I needed to speak to her and yet she was nowhere to be found. “If you are going to ask about Adrian, he is in the pack, he's in the villa. She went out for a
“You are an interesting woman. No wonder she took your place, Eva.” The man said, and I raised an eyebrow.“I see that you have managed to find yourself a new toy to play with.”“And I am surprised that a Caspian is not putting you in place. You seem to forget that I am the alpha and not her.” The m
Valerie:I knew that I shouldn't be feeling bad for him.I knew that this was a path that he drew for himself, that everything that he was getting was a result to the consequence of his choices.When I looked at him, when I saw his pain in his eyes as Adrian called him Alpha Caspian, I couldn't help
Caspian:I walked through the halls of the packhouse, my mind clouded with thoughts I couldn’t shake.Words that I did not want to allow myself to digest.Nor did I want to allow myself to see them in this normal. Because I knew deep down that it was not.Alpha Caspian.That was what Adrian called m
Valerie:I walked through the halls of the pack house, my steps steady, but my mind was far from calm.I was still angry. Still irritated. And if I let myself think too much about everything that had happened, the accusations, the betrayal, the way Caspian had thrown me into this mess without a seco
