AEGON'S POV

" What's wrong with her?" I questioned myself as I walked down the hallway, stopping in front of Ingrid's door for a minute to listen to little Theo's gargling and smile as I went in search of his older namesake.

I honestly couldn't understand why Dagna was making a big deal out of Nico's release, or why she even cared.As soon as mother suggested it, I had realized its merits.

Yes, on the surface everyone would see that he had tried to hurt me and my family unprovoked, but he wasn't an evil man, just an angry and frustrated man, venting and seeking an outlet for his feelings.(Which were well justified)

What sort of alpha would I be if I continued to hold a grudge against him especially after realizing that we were family.

" She's just angry for my sake, she wants someone to pay for hurting me. But she'll get over it and come around to my way of thinking pretty soon." I told myself as I headed for Theo's quarters, all thoughts of Dagna flying out of my mind when I discovere

    VIMON'S POVLater that evening while sitting across from each other at the dining table waiting for the kids to join us, I watched Kane who was smoking one of those thick cigars he got from the human world and tapped my foot reflectively.He's a good man. I told myself.A little lily livered but still a good man, even though he had his misgivings about me being who I claimed to be, he hadn't said a word even when the fayronas' charms wore off. I'm going to try my best to be a better wife to him from now on. I decided and actually felt a glow of joy at that decision.Chester's little slut of a daughter chose that moment to put a damper on my joy by walking in on my son's arm in a dress that had almost the same amount of fabrics as little Theo's clothes." You look a little pale ma'am." She said to me by way of greeting as soon as she was seated." Are you sure you wouldn't rather lie down for a few minutes?" She asked, accompanying her words with a cloyingly sweet smile.I didn't rise

    AEGON'S POV I was in my study the next day when Ingrid knocked, I didn't know how I knew it was Ingrid, I just did. It had always been that way right from when we were kids, I could always tell when she was close by, I guess it was a by-product of being her mate, even after I had rejected her." Just come in already and don't break down my door," I growled through the door at her. "What do you want?" I demanded as soon as she stepped in." I'm sorry to bother you?" She apologized." But I was wondering if you knew where Theo was?" She asked.I glared at her for a few minutes before giving her a reply." If you intend to monitor him , why did you let my parents take him then?" I asked." Are you really so selfish that you don't want to share your son with his grandparents?"She was also silent for a while and when she finally spoke, she didn't answer any of my questions." I wasn't looking for little Theo, I was talking about the older Theo -the soldier." She said," Why?" I demanded.

    THIRD PERSON'S POV WALLY" The bastard."" The stupid idiotic little twat of a bastard," Wally sat on the couch in his living room cursing Nico in absentia before raising the bottle of mead in hands to his lips and taking a healthy swig. Three more swigs later the bottle was empty and he let it clatter to the floor where three more empty bottles were already holding court."Dagna!!!!!" He bellowed even before the latest bottle hit the floor. " Yes father!!!!!" She bellowed back from her room upstairs. "More mead." He called to her.A Babb couple of minutes later, she came in with two bottles of mead and set them on the small ottoman beside him."Father," she said as she set them down." It's not even noon yet, don't you think you've had enough to drink already?" She asked.He slowly raised his head to look at her and she unconsciously took a step back at the sight of his bloodshot eyes." Don't I think I've had enough to drink?" He repeated her question." Don't I think I've had enoug

    INGRID'S POV"I'll never feel better," he cried, throwing himself into my arms.What has gone wrong this time? I wondered as I slipped the hand that had been on his back into his hair and began to massage his scalp and my other hand automatically went around him. It was the exact way I used to console him when we were both younger and he would come to me for comfort after getting into one scrape or the other. Long before the Dagna era, my subconscious couldn't resist adding.I held him until his tears subsided, then I softly raised his head and wiped off his tears with my thumbs." Now tell me, " I urged, reaching down to grab one of his hands and hold them in both of mine. " Who exactly do you think you killed?" My tone clearly portrayed that I didn't think he had done any such thing." Theo, he replied with a sniffle. I let out a loud bark of laughter that startled him so much he gave a little jump and put a little space between us." Exactly how much did you have to drink?" I aske

    VIMON'S POVI knew it was silly and downright ridiculous but as I sat on my window seat and waited for the soldiers who had gone in search of their comrade, I found myself praying to the goddess as I had never prayed before for her to change what I knew to be true." Please goddess, he can be maimed, lame, blind or even have lost two or more limbs, just let him be found alive," I caught myself saying more than once or twice.Of course every time this happened, I could almost see my subconscious looking at me like I had lost my mind and I was brutally reminded of how I had left him to those fair monsters, not minding the look of terror in his eyes, my mind just wouldn't let me forget that memory.I was standing there, leaning against the window when I saw captain Alec run up the stairs with a bundle under his shoulder, my heart instantly jumped into my throat, and my knees instantly went weak, I didn't need to be closer than I already was to recognize Theo's clothes.

    WALLY'S POV" Now listen to me and listen like your life depends on it because it does," I warned the men standing before me." You have one job and one job alone," I said, raising a single finger above my head to emphasize the point." All I want you to do is watch Nico and those old farts, just watch them and report to me, doing nothing else except that; watch them, monitor their movements, their goings and comings and report back to me, nothing else! Am I understood?" I asked."Well understood," they replied in unison." Good," I said with a nod of approval." And make sure you stay in hiding, if he finds out that you're watching him, you will have no one but yourselves to blame for whatever he does to you." I further admonished, before dismissing them with a wave of my hand." Ohhh Nico," I called with a jeering laughter as soon as they were out of earshot." You've stepped on the tail of a tiger, and you'll pay and pay dearly," I promised him, sealing the promise by taking a gulp

That it didn’t mean anything. But deep down, somewhere far beneath the surface, he knew the truth. It meant something, at least to her. To Ingrid.He’d convinced himself that he was still in control. He was the Alpha and The leader. The one who made the rules. But every time he saw Ingrid every time he felt the pull of their bond. it became harder to keep up the lie.When he had returned that night, his blood still buzzing with the memory of Dagna’s touch, he had expected Ingrid to be asleep, to avoid him as she usually did.

    KANE’S POVI stared at Vimon, her words echoing like war drums in my head.They’re trying to kill her… Dagna. Wally. They’ve been planning it for weeks. Using Aegon to do it.I wanted to believe it was a nightmare, some sick fantasy born out of Vimon’s anxiety—but I knew better. I trusted her instincts more than my own. And the way her voice had cracked—raw, trembling with tightly leashed rage—told me this was real.Too real.“How long?” I asked, my voice low. Too low.She swallowed hard. “Three nights. We’re two nights in.”Two nights in. Moon Goddess, we were running out of time.The room around me blurred. I gripped the edge of the desk, trying to keep from smashing everything in sight. That bastard Wally he should’ve stayed dead. And Dagna… Dagna, the girl I once tolerated because she’d been part of our pack. Because I had believed she was simply misguided. But this? This was evil.And Aegon. My son. My heir.He was being used turned into a weapon against the very woman fate had b

    The FallAegon’s POVI don’t remember every detail. My mind was a haze and part rage, part numbness, part wanting to forget. She whispered things in my ear, things that sounded like promises and poisons all wrapped in velvet. She touched me like a curse.“She left you once. She’s always going to choose pain. Always going to punish you for the bond.”“She’s my mate.”“Then where was she when you needed someone? When you were drowning in guilt and carrying the weight of the pack alone?” Dagna leaned closer. “You deserve someone who’ll choose you. Fully and Obsessively.”It was manipulation. I knew it., every word was a carefully placed as a dagger.Still, I was tired. Tired of fighting battles I couldn't win, of carrying anger I couldn’t resolve, Of hurting Ingrid and myself.And then, like a trap snapping shut, Dagna pulled me into an empty room, locked the door behind us, and kissed me like she already owned my regrets.I didn’t stop her falling into the trap like a fool.And I gave

    SHATTERED the SILENCEIngrid’s Point of ViewThe moon had risen high, its light shining on the tops of the trees outside the window. The night air had a strange heaviness to it, one that settled in my chest like an unmovable rock. I had been restless all evening, pacing round my room, trying to calm the unease that had crept in.Something was wrong. Deeply, unshakably wrong.I tried to mind link Aegon through the bond, but it was silent. As if he had shut me out completely.That wasn’t unusual, not anymore not with the wall he had been steadily building between us. But tonight, it felt like the final straw.I left my room, hoping to get some air, maybe find him, or at least catch Kane or Vimon and distract myself with some unnecessary conversation. The corridors were dim, and the torch casting long, lonely shadows that danced with my anxiety. I made my way to the west side of the manor, where I knew Aegon often retreated after a long day. But he wasn’t there.Nor in the training groun

    The First FallAegon’s POVThe hospital corridors were quieter than usual, dimmed with the fading sunlight slipping through long windows. A hush hung over the place not of peace, but of restrained anxiety. Being here always left me unsettled. It reminded me of duty, of wounds I couldn't see or heal, of responsibilities too heavy to bear without cracking. But today, it felt heavier.Maybe because I hadn't spoken to Ingrid since the argument. Maybe because I hadn’t explained myself. Or maybe because I knew I was starting to lose my grip on everything.I came to check on a warrior who'd been injured during a rogue ambush near the southern border. The incident wasn't major, but protocol demanded my presence, so here I was, signing off a report with a mind a thousand miles away.“Alpha,” a nurse greeted, her tone respectful, but I barely nodded. My thoughts spiraled, looping endlessly through memories I couldn't suppress the feeling of Ingrid’s trembling hands, her confused eyes, the crack

    The first night Wally was waiting when I returned to the safehouse.He asked " is it done???“Yes,” I answered, wiping Aegon’s taste from my lips with disgust. “He didn’t even ask why I was at the hospital.”“You’re sure it worked?” he growled.“He didn’t resist. Not really,” I replied with a smirk. “You should have seen his eyes. All that guilt, confusion—it makes him weak. And that makes Ingrid weaker.”Wally chuckled, though his grin was jagged. “Then the clock has started. You’ll need to get him again, twice more. On the third night... the mate bond will break her from the inside out. Her body won’t be able to handle the pain.”“Good.” His lips curled with satisfaction. “Two more nights, Dagna. Then she’ll die.”“And what if she survives?” I asked, folding my arms.“She won’t,” he said flatly. “Especially not with the power of the Jewel in my possession. You focus on seducing him. I’ll handle the rest.”I raised an eyebrow. “You’re sure it’ll work?”He slammed a crystal shard on
