Chapter 56I can see Damon's sharp eyes focused on Jules who is now holding me tightly by my neck. My chest swelled with fear because of the anger and hatred visible in Damon's eyes. This is not what I planned. I was shocked to know the whole truth from Jules, but it doesn't change the fact that he was the reason for all the chaos happening right now.No equal forgiveness should be imposed on him especially since he took the lives of important people for Damon."It's nice to see you again...my dear cousin...or should I say...dear brother?" Jules greeted Damon with his obvious mocking tone. Damon's jaw tightened. I winced when I felt Jules’s grip on me tighten. Damon saw that so I could almost see the danger in his eyes."Let her go," Damon told Jules firmly. Jules laughs even though there's nothing funny. It's like he just wants to insult Damon."I'm not stupid to let go of my only ace to win you," Jules' tone was happy. Jules is hopeless. I know that no matter what I do to beg him, h
Chapter 57I could feel Damon's expression changing as he looked at Stone. Stone was holding the bow as he stared back at Damon. I can feel the tension between them. While I felt the fear eating away at my heart. I can't believe Stone could do this. I looked down at Jules who was now struggling for his life. I quickly approached Jules and tried to cover his bleeding wound."What did you do, Stone?" I heard Anna's mournful voice. I didn't realize that she had already followed us. I can still see the chaos behind us. Damon's men are fighting the rogues.Stone's gaze shifted to Anna. I can see the pain in Anna's eyes. Even she couldn't believe that Stone could do this."So...you're the traitor Jules was talking about..." I heard Damon. I bit my lower lip and heaved a deep breath. My hand is full of blood. I know that this time, no matter what I do, I can't save Jules.Stone lowered the bow and threw it at his feet."I didn't expect that it took you a long time to find out," Stone smirked
Chapter 58"This is my last royal decree for you, Stone. Kill…me,"It was like my heart beat several times when I heard that from Damon's lips. I can't believe he would choose to pay for something he knows is not his fault! Damon doesn't deserve this. But can I really blame him for doing this?Because of what happened in the past, many of the people around us were hurt and now it is coming back to Damon's life. Stone was deeply hurt. Many people felt sorry for the decision made by Alpha Devon. An innocent girl, Anna, was hurt so much in exchange for safety and love for Damon.But is it right for Damon to pay for it? Is this really the only way to make everything right?My heart almost dropped with fear and worry when I saw how Stone transformed into his wolf form. While Damon still had the same expression. Blank face. He was just staring at Stone.I want to speak. I wanted to scream to stop Stone. I want to yell at Damon that this is not the way to make everything right, but I also do
Chapter 59DAMON TIMOTHY SCOTThe day I was born was a whole week of celebration. It was repeatedly told by my older brother. I admire him so much since I was a child. I always watched him during a day break and sometimes mimic his moves. Alpha Devon never disappoints me until everything happened.I thought that being in royals is lucky. I can do everything I want. I can have everything I want. But I never thought that being in this family was this difficult. Primarily, when I found out the truth. What I thought was my cousin and friend Jules Simson was not just a cousin or a friend."I couldn't believe you hide this from me, you hide this from me and Damon!" I heard my brother, Devon's tense voice as he spoke. I am secretly hiding behind a wall because when I heard my brother's troubled voice I couldn't help but be curious."This is just for your own good! See what happened when you found out the truth? And you can't do anything with it, Devon. Nothing will change no matter what you
Chapter 60I felt my head aching as I slowly opened my eyes. I can feel the soreness in my body as realization dawned on me. Terror filled me when I realized that I am now tied in a chair while in front of me is unfamiliar people staring at me like they want to tear me apart into a million pieces."Finally, you're awake," someone said. My forehead creased as I narrowed my eyes to look at the man slowly walking out of the darkness. The last time I remember I was on my combat training session with Delta Robin and then someone stormed in and knocked me off. I didn't know what happened after that. I just woke up in this situation."Who are you?" I asked. I am puzzled and worried, but I was trained to be calm in this kind of situation and don't want those restless training to be put to waste. I will be like my brother."I'm the Alpha king of the Rema kingdom, Alpha Rafael," he introduced himself at the same time I saw his face clearly. My jaw dropped as I clearly saw his face. I balled my
Chapter 61Neticia often came with me especially when Alpha Devon was busy. She's cheerful and energetic. Sometimes, I will get irritated because of her but I don't have any choice but to have patience with her. I am not like Jules who is always rude towards her.I don't understand why Jules disliked her so much. She's doing nothing wrong besides being annoying, but she's fine for me. Neticia tried to get close to Jules but Jules was being difficult. I don't want to interfere. That was what Jules wanted and there was nothing I could do.Years of being with Neticia made me feel a normal life. She was my playmate and friend for those times I was lonely. Because since the war ended Alpha Devon has been ignoring me. Or maybe I was just overthinking everything. Perhaps he was just busy.I just finished my training with Delta Robin when I passed by Neticia's room. It was slightly open so I could see her inside. She was sitting on a chair and in front of her was the canvas. One thing I've kn
Chapter 62I couldn't accept everything I heard. I never thought Alpha Devon would choose my situation over the justice we wanted to achieve for our parents. But how can I face him when I know why he chose me? Alpha Devon had always had a soft heart, which is why he was loved by all the people in our kingdom. One of them is his love for his own blood, and that is his family. He knows from the start that once you sit on that throne, your main role is to protect the kingdom and not your family. But Alpha Devon chose the opposite, and I can't help but blame myself too. If I hadn't been weak and hadn't been taken lightly by the enemies, all of this wouldn't have happened. Alpha Devon would never have had a reason to abandon his role. That day, Jules left the palace. I heard Neticia crying from her room, but I can't comfort her right now because I am also confused and flabbergasted by all the things I found out. That same day, the elders and councilors announced that the hunting season
Chapter 63I let Solidad into the human world where she came from before she met Alpha Devon. I know the loss of my brother is painful for her, and I can't blame her, for asking now to leave the place filled with memories of Alpha Devon. Even I couldn't forget my brother. No matter what I do, nightmares and conscience continue to haunt me. Because Alpha Devon died, I didn’t have the chance to talk to him properly. I regret that doubt led me then, so I didn't approach him immediately when I noticed his strange avoidance of me. I wish I had fixed the space between the two of us before he died.But it was too late. There was nothing I could do to repent because death had taken Alpha Devon forever and all I could do was correct what I thought were his mistakes. Surely, if he were alive today, he would ask for the same thing from me. That's why in recent times and years I have continued the investigation. But when the councilors and elders found out about it, they immediately told me to
The Final Chapter: Epilogue"Alpha Damon!" I stopped when Anna called me. She knelt in front of me, sobbing, "T-Thank you for saving Stone's life—""I don't want to receive gratitude for it, Anna, because I still can't forgive him for what he did," I explained. She nodded.“I know...but I'm hoping for Athena's recovery soon," she said before I continued walking. I waited a few hours before the doctor came out. I hadn't even showered or gotten dressed when I saw the doctor come out of the room. He's a great doctor. He's a wolf who knows how to operate even a human body."Is she okay now?" I quickly stood up and approached the doctor. For some reason, I feel better while waiting for the doctor to say, "Luna Athena...has lost so much blood, Alpha..., so we need more of her blood, but for now, I've stopped her bleeding. For now, she's stable. But we should not be complacent," he said. Somehow, I feel better. I immediately ordered the staff to go to the human world to get Athena's blood ty
Part 1: EpilogueI used to think that being an Alpha king meant just sitting on your throne, taking care of your people, and thinking of ways that would help the kingdom flourish. But I was wrong. Being an Alpha king means so much more than that; it also includes sacrifices and pain. I questioned my older brother's decisions back then, but I forgot that he's also just like us. He may be a great leader, strong and brave, but he also has feelings. Apart from being the Alpha king of the kingdom, he is also a brother who loves his family.Being the Alpha king has never been easy. When I became the Alpha king, I finally understood Alpha Devon's feelings and hardships, especially when Athena came into my life. Having her is both a pain and happiness. Pain, because she became my weakness. She was my only weakness, not only physically but also emotionally. Everything about her is a source of weakness for me: her tears, her cries, her pains, her broken voice. I can't bear to see her hurt becau
Chapter 65Solitaire... I didn't know why Solidad named her Solitaire. Solitaire is not a bad name, but I don't like the meaning of it. Nevertheless, I need to focus on the things I need to do with Solidad and her daughter. I gritted my teeth as I watched Solidad beg in front of me. She was asking for forgiveness and more time with her daughter. “I can't bear to be separated from my daughter, Alpha Damon! I know what destiny she has and I will never hold her against you, so please...give me a few more years and I promised I will willingly give her to you when she turns eighteen,” Those were her words as she cried hard in front of me.I am not supposed to feel pity for her, but at that time I did. Maybe because every time I see her, my older brother's memories keep coming back to me. This is the woman my brother loved the most. My brother wouldn't like it if he saw her mate crying and begging for my mercy, so I let her go that day. "What's her name again?" I asked Solidad before Ston
Chapter 64It was declared to lift Solidad's punishment. Instead of death, it was agreed that the punishment would be being a slave in the palace for the rest of her life. But Delta Robin appealed because Solidad used to be a queen in the palace, and she doesn't deserve to be a slave in the palace. That's why it was changed again and she was only given the punishment that she was not allowed to set foot in the palace again. It was also agreed that when she gives birth, she will live in the forest of the Agama kingdom for the rest of her life. One day, my grandfather Brandon visited the palace. "I heard that you have now met your mate, Alpha Damon." I welcomed him into my office. The housekeepers served us wine, so this is what we are holding now. "I don't even want to think about it," I said. To this day, I still can't believe that Solidad's pregnancy could be what the Goddess of the Moon intended for me. What else I hate so much is what is happening now. It's like fate is playing w
