Claire's POV

"You're awake, darling!" Seeing Louis opened his eyes, I almost dropped the cup I was holding in excitement.

"How do you feel? Do you want something to eat?"

"I'm fine." Louis rubbed his head and sat up in bed.

He looked a bit bewildered, clearly not fully awake yet. "How did I end up here? Has the ball ended?"

"Yes." I nodded, briefly recounting the events to Louis.

"The doctor checked and said you've been overworking lately, which caused you to faint suddenly. When you and Evans were taken for treatment, Royston announced the end of the ball in your place. But you shouldn't worry about that now; what you need to do is rest."

I tried to guide Louis back to lying down, but he held onto my wrist and asked insistently, "Where's Evans?"

"He's been taken back to his own castle."

Louis stared at me, his expression determined. "And what about that forged letter?"

I hesitated, not answering immediately. Louis's grip on my hand started to tighten gradually, and the pain made me i

Just mentioning that name, Louis's temperature seemed to drop a few degrees."I knew he'd come sooner or later. Tell him to wait for me in my study.""Understood, Your Highness.""Can I go with you?" I leaned against Louis, tilting my head up, carefully requesting. "I want to know what Evans is up to, please."My pleading gaze eventually swayed Louis. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded to me."Alright, but I need you to hide in the corner of the study, don't make a sound. Can you do that?""Of course." I smiled, wrapping my arms around Louis's neck, planting a kiss on his lips. "I promise to be a perfect invisible person."Louis's POV"Your Highness."Hearing my approaching footsteps, Evans turned around in the study, bowing to me.I scrutinized Evans's face; the wounds from our last fight still marked his features.

    Claire's POVAs I listened to Evans's "suggestion" to Louis, I almost fled from the castle.Before entering the study, I had prepared myself for the worst. I thought the worst ending would be leaving Louis.Although it would break my heart, I believed I could eventually endure it. But what Garfield Evans did was far more despicable than I had anticipated. Not only did he ask me to watch my fated mate marry another woman, but he also expected me to willingly give up the inheritance rights of my children, making them b.astards!It was simply outrageous!With a mixture of sadness and anger, I lowered my head and quickly left the study.It wasn't until the evening breeze blew over the back of my neck, sending shivers down my arms, that I realized I had actually walked out of the castle. I looked around and found myself standing in a strange meadow. In the distance, the crows cawed loudly from the withered trees, immediately evoking fear in my heart.I turned around, intending to find my

    Claire's POVI was startled by Cathy's sudden reaction, causing me to jump back abruptly. The torch I was holding slipped from my hand, plunging the surroundings into darkness."Claire!" The guard called out to me, groping his way to my side. "Are you alright?""I'm fine." With the guard's support, I clumsily got up from the ground and picked up the fallen torch. "Did you see Cathy?""I-I was just looking for you..." The guard cursed softly, and at that moment, both of us heard footsteps running in the darkness.Clearly, Cathy had taken advantage of the chaos and escaped.But no sound could escape this empty dungeon. Utilizing the faint light filtering in from the stone door and the direction of the footsteps, I keenly caught sight of that familiar silhouette."She's over there!" Both the guard and I rushed towards the direction of the sound.Cathy's long confinement hadn't dampened her speed in escaping. The strong will to survive drove Cathy to almost crazily sprint up the stairs, l

    Claire's POV"Wait, I don't understand what you mean." The guard's face twisted in confusion, as if I was speaking in some alien language instead of English. "Are you saying Evans wants to harm that girl? But she seems so ordinary, why would he do that?""Ah—"Just as the guard spoke, a piercing scream echoed from outside the dungeon. "It's Cathy!" I jumped up, leaning against the door crack to see what was happening outside. The dense fog seemed to be dissipating rapidly, and the biting cold wind quickly turned into a comfortable temperature. All of this signaled that the illusion was fading away."If your superiors blame you for Cathy's situation, remember to tell them it was my idea." Before opening the door, I glanced at the still confused guard, recalling the death of Evans' brother and his mate in prison last time, couldn't help but issue another warning to him. "Also, please keep the speculation about Evans secret for your own good."With that, I pushed open the stone door

But just as my fingers touched the nightgown, the man behind me suddenly wrapped his strong arm around my waist, pulling me into a warm embrace."So, you're leaving so soon?""The one leaving isn't me, Andy, it's you. Remember, this is my home."I coldly pushed Andy's arm away, turning around to meet his eyes filled with frustration."Did you remember everything I told you just now?""Of course, my dear Princess," Andy replied with a hint of sarcasm, clearly displeased. "What task have you given me that I haven't fulfilled?"I rolled my eyes at Andy. "Do I need to remind you of the last time with the Gambino girl? You certainly showed her quite a bit of attention."As soon as I mentioned the last ball, Andy's tone turned even more resentful."I'm willing to give everything for you, Maria! But that doesn't mean you can push me towards other women! After all this time together, don't you have a

Or have you changed your mind and want to keep me here?""I've given you many chances, Evans, but you keep challenging my limits," I said coldly, looking down on Evans."Is this why you came to the castle tonight? To persuade me to accept having two wives, while secretly plotting against Claire's life?""I never had such intentions, Your Highness," Evans remained composed as ever. "This is the safest place in the word. I couldn't, and wouldn't, harm Claire's life here."Fed up with Evans's excuses, I raised my hand, and a guard quickly brought a transparent sealed box containing a diamond bracelet stained with blood.The guard presented it to Evans."I want to hear how you explain this bracelet this time," I demanded.Evans glanced briefly at the bracelet, not even flinching when he noticed the bloodstains. "I have never seen this br

She's Liam's child!"My hand trembled violently upon hearing Evans shout."I'm willing to swear as the Alpha of the Black Mountain pack, Your Highness!" Evans' dark eyes even showed a hint of pleading. He struggled to support himself, dragging his crippled legs to me, attempting to persuade me to spare Kitty."Everything I just said is true! Kitty isn't my child, she's Liam's biological daughter!""If there's one lesson Liam's death taught me, it's never to believe a single word that comes out of your mouth, Garfield Evans."I still gripped Kitty's collar, holding her like a little chick in my arms."Every word you say to me is a lie. Perhaps you should confess all your sins to me.""About Kitty, every word I said is true." Evans looked at Kitty, his voice tinged with urgency. "That bracelet has nothing to do with me! I never intended to harm Claire!""Liar."I gazed expressionlessly at Evans kneeling on the ground. His leg, ordered t

And you want me to kill her?"Even in the face of such dark speculation, reality turned out to be far worse than I imagined.Liam hung his head, unable to meet my eyes. "No, not Maria. She's just an ordinary woman with the most ordinary name... But this ordinary woman got pregnant with my child and secretly gave birth to him.""What the f.uck?!"If not for my inherent etiquette restraining my anger, my fist would have landed on Liam's face by now."So, you're telling me that one day you slept with a woman, and then she got pregnant and gave birth to your child? What the hell, Liam?""Watch your language, Garfield."Faced with my attack, Prince Liam seemed somewhat hurt. His face showed a hint of embarrassment, and his tone became impatient. "I never thought things would turn out like this...""Oh? So, you're blaming me for how things turned out?"I looked into Liam's eyes

    Maria's POV“What happened? What’s going on?!”The sudden explosion of cheers woke me from my drowsiness. I looked around in panic, and only after confirming that there was no danger did I finally relax. I grabbed Mandy, who was leaning on a broom and watching TV with great interest.“Mandy, what’s going on? Why is it suddenly so noisy outside?”“That’s not noise, Maria,” Mandy said, revealing an ugly smile with a mouth full of crooked teeth. “Alpha Louis just announced his heir!”Hearing the name that hadn’t appeared in my life for so long, it took me a few seconds to finally react. “Louis? Prince Louis?! He’s become the Alpha King now?!”“You really are a country bumpkin.” Mandy rolled her eyes dramatically at me and disdainfully pushed my arm away. “That happened last month. Haven’t you heard? Our Alpha even has an heir now.”“Heir?”The moment of confusion was quickly replaced by a surge of joy.Yes, the heir—it must be my Chris! My Chris has become the heir of the kingdom. That m

I took the paper Kyle handed me and scanned it quickly, frowning. "Isn't this a bit too formal?"Kyle shrugged. "Well, Your Majesty, tonight is an official ceremony. After all, every werewolf will witness Claire becoming our Luna.""Alright."I nodded in agreement, folded the paper, and tucked it into my suit pocket. Then, I checked my watch. "How long until the wedding starts?""About twenty minutes. Perhaps you would like to wait outside? The media is ready."Glancing out at the castle lawn, I saw the sea of people and cameras aimed at the wedding venue. Surrounding the crowd were countless armed guards maintaining order.I withdrew my gaze and chuckled. "This might be the grandest ceremony of the year, don't you think?""Well, perhaps the grandest ceremony of the century."Kyle responded with a smile. "Shall we

Damn, my waist still looks a bit bulky."Am I the only one who thinks this dress makes me look fat?""Yes, my dear Luna."Olivia, who had already helped me change into the third wedding dress, rolled her eyes at me. "You look absolutely stunning, Claire. You're just experiencing a common condition called pre-wedding anxiety."As she spoke, Olivia lifted the large train of my dress to prevent Kitty from stepping on it."Don't believe me? Ask Kitty! Kitty, do you think Claire looks beautiful?"Caught off guard, Kitty turned around, holding a flower basket slung over her shoulder. It was empty of petals, but she already looked as cute as a doll.Oh, how I wished my first child would be a girl as adorable as her! I silently prayed to the Moon Goddess.But the sweet Kitty couldn't hear my thoughts. She tilted her head and carefully examined

    Louis's POV"This will likely be our last meeting, Prince Louis."In a small tavern near the Southern Forest, Garfield Evans, clad in black and wearing a hood, sat across from me. The arrogance and ambition once evident in his demeanor were replaced with a bitter smile and an unhidden hatred towards his enemies."I suppose so," I replied, ignoring Garfield's raised glass and instead downing my drink in one gulp. "After all, the Southern Forest is a terrifying place. Even my brother met his end there.""Well, dying in the same place as Liam would be a kind of luck," Garfield responded with a resigned smile, but I could see the sincerity mixed with sorrow in his moist eyes."Don't forget, this time you'll face not only the horrors of the Southern Forest but also the secret organization hiding within it, which opposes the royal family. They are your real enemies.""I'll never forget that, Your Highness. Rest assured, I will avenge Liam before I breathe my last!"The rekindled murderous i

    Claire's POV“So… you really plan to exile Evans?” I asked cautiously after listening to Louis recount the events in the dungeon the previous night. “What about the Black Mountain pack? They’re already stirring, trying to overthrow the royal family. Won’t this only fuel their ambitions?”“On the contrary. I plan to convene the Council of Elders and hold a public trial for Garfield Evans. Once his crimes are exposed to all the werewolves, everyone will understand why I imprisoned him. By then, the Black Mountain pack will have no justification for opposing the royal family.”Louis calmly analyzed the situation while peeling a grape and placing it in my mouth. I nodded thoughtfully, but then immediately spat it out, wrinkling my nose.Louis looked at me in concern, “What’s wrong?”“The grape tastes bad,” I said, my mouth puckering from the sourness.“Really?” Louis glanced at the grapes on the table and immediately summoned Alfred.“Your Highness.”“Claire says the grapes are bad.”“Bad

Garfield!”Maria's face had turned purple, her flailing legs now dancing on the edge of the abyss. Even this couldn’t quench the burning hatred I felt for this woman.Blood debts must be paid in blood!Anger surged within me. Just as I resolved to end her wretched life, a figure crashed into me. My injured leg gave out, and I fell into a puddle, releasing my hold on Maria."Seize them all!"Prince Louis’s commanding voice echoed in the dank, hollow dungeon. Within moments, torches illuminated the damp darkness. A squad of armed guards swarmed the small cell, capturing Maria, Rick, and me, dragging us before Louis.“Prince Louis, Evans... Evans tried to kill me!”Louis’s appearance was Maria’s salvation. She cried out, reaching for Louis’s robe, but he recoiled in disgu

    Garfield's POV"Alpha!"Just as I was coaxing Kitty to finish her broccoli, a figure once again climbed through the window."Rick?" I narrowed my eyes at my beta, my tone growing stern. "I don't recall ordering you to enter the castle again.""I'm very sorry, Alpha."Rick's expression was serious under my rebuke. "I followed your instructions that night, intending to take Chris from Maria's villa. But I discovered something important that I felt I had to report to you immediately."I scrutinized Rick. Though he wasn’t particularly sharp, he had always been loyal. If he claimed to have made a significant discovery, then…I set down the bowl in my hand and said, "Go ahead. What did you find out?""Last night, Chris suddenly fell ill and was rushed to the hospital.""What?!" My voice involuntarily showed my anxiety. "How is he now? Is he alright?!""No. In fact, I overheard the doctor and Maria talking. The doctor said Chris's illness is congenital and very difficult to cure—unless Maria

    Maria's POVThings were progressing smoothly.I walked quickly through the castle’s corridors, followed by three or four guards. They were accompanying me to retrieve Prince Liam’s portraits and belongings on Louis’s orders. However, these items were useless in saving my son’s life. The only person who could save Chris now was someone else entirely.“Ouch!” I exclaimed in pain, clutching my stomach and suddenly squatting down.“What happened?!”“I... my stomach hurts.” I faced the approaching guards, looking distressed and speaking weakly, “I’ve been too stressed about Chris’s illness, and my stomach problems have flared up again.”“What should we do?!” One of the guards scratched his head, looking worried. “Should I notify Prince Louis…”“No, there’s no time to waste!” I bit my lip, feigning great pain, and interrupted the guard’s suggestion. “The most important thing now is to get Prince Liam’s portraits and belongings! If Chris wakes up, he will surely want to see his father first…

    Claire's POV“What? Chris is in the hospital?! What happened?!”“Calm down, my dear.”Louis gently pushed me back onto the couch, but his brows remained furrowed. He turned to the guard who brought the news and asked, “Could this be another one of Maria’s schemes? Is she trying to gain sympathy using Chris?”“No.” The guard lowered his head and relayed the information he received from the doctor about Chris’s condition.“Moreover, I inquired with the emergency team that responded that night. They all confirmed that Chris nearly suffocated to death.”The words “nearly suffocated” left Louis in silence, and I couldn’t help but feel a surge of worry for the innocent boy. No matter what Maria had done, Chris was just a child. Besides, he was Liam’s only son.Thinking this, I turned to the guard and asked, “Which hospital is Chris in now?”“Saint Richard’s Hospital, but Chris is still unconscious. The doctors have recommended no visitors.”It seemed Chris was gravely ill this time. Both Lo
