My Lycan Prince's Redemptionย ย ย 108 Deadly Illusion
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?""Ahโ"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

Maria's POVI lifted the blanket and bent down to pick up the clothes scattered on the floor. 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

Louis's POV"I don't understand what you mean, Your Highness."Evans shifted his gaze from the guards to me."Is there an urgent situation in the castle? 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

Louis's POV"Wait! Louis! Kitty isn't my daughter! 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

Garfield's POV"What did you say?!"I lowered my voice, but I couldn't help grinding my teeth. "Maria's pregnant? 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

Garfield's POVLiam's pleading echoed in my ears as I tightly shut my eyes.The once proud and valiant warrior was now begging me to kill an innocent woman and child. The stark contrast made it almost unbearable to look into Liam's eyes, fearing I might lose my respect and love for him forever.With a heavy heart, I responded to Liam with a solemn tone. "I will fulfill your request, Liam.""Thank you, Garfield."A hint of surprise flashed through Liam's eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief, about to embrace me, but I dodged away. Liam's hands hung in the darkness."You don't need to thank me, Liam. I promised because you're my prince, and my loyalty to you will never change, no matter what.""Don't do this, Garfield. We shouldn'tโ"Liam attempted to approach me again, but once more, I evaded him."Allow me to take my leave, my dear prince."I stood outside of Liam's embrace and performed a standard salute.As I lifted my head, Liam's hands had already dropped, making him seem even more

Garfield's POVAfter giving orders to my subordinates, I turned my attention to the baby in front of me.Strangely, as our eyes met, the baby immediately stopped crying. He stood up again, swaying, and reached out his arms to me, as if wanting to be back in my embrace."No, you can't. You just wet my clothes," I coldly rejected the baby's request, "And you're still wet."The baby tilted his head, seeming to struggle to understand my words.When I shook my head at him again, the baby turned his gaze to a cabinet.On top of the cabinet was a stack of neatly folded diapers."So, you want me to change this for you?" I withdrew my gaze, feeling a ridiculous sensation rising in my heart, "No way.""Wailโ"At the moment I uttered the refusal, the baby in front of me burst into tears again, even more heart-wrenching than before. Concerned voices came from outside the room once again."I said I could handle this!"I shouted angrily at the door, then stared at the crying baby, my face darkening

Claire's POVPushing open the door of the cabin, I saw Louis sitting by the fireplace with his back turned to me.I took a deep breath and called out his name in as light-hearted a tone as possible. "I knew I'd find you here! Alfred asked me to bring your favorite sandwich and wine. Want to give it a try?"Louis remained motionless, as if an invisible barrier separated us and my voice was completely shut out by this barrier.Sighing, I cautiously entered the cabin and placed the carefully prepared food on the small table next to the fireplace. Then, I walked around the armchair and crouched down in front of Louis, placing my hand on his knee, warmed by the fire."Louis, please talk to me. Please," I pleaded.My plea finally caused Louis to tear his gaze away from the flickering flames. He looked at me, his expression hollow and helpless, like a lost wolf in a snowstorm."Claire..."Louis's vulnerability saddened me, and I stood up, enveloping him in my embrace."I know you're hurting,

My Lycan Prince's Redemptionย ย ย 141 The Death of Maria
Maria's POVโWhat happened? Whatโs going on?!โThe 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.โMandy, whatโs going on? Why is it suddenly so noisy outside?โโThatโs not noise, Maria,โ Mandy said, revealing an ugly smile with a mouth full of crooked teeth. โAlpha Louis just announced his heir!โHearing the name that hadnโt appeared in my life for so long, it took me a few seconds to finally react. โLouis? Prince Louis?! Heโs become the Alpha King now?!โโYou really are a country bumpkin.โ Mandy rolled her eyes dramatically at me and disdainfully pushed my arm away. โThat happened last month. Havenโt you heard? Our Alpha even has an heir now.โโHeir?โThe moment of confusion was quickly replaced by a surge of joy.Yes, the heirโit must be my Chris! My Chris has become the heir of the kingdom. That m

Louis's POV"Your Majesty, here is your speech."Kyle's voice pulled me from my thoughts, and I quickly turned off my phone, hiding Claire's refusal from the screen."Sure." 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

Claire's POV"Are you sure this dress looks okay, Olivia?"I anxiously tugged at the wedding gown and stared nervously at my reflection in the mirror. 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
My Lycan Prince's Redemptionย ย ย 138 The Fate of Evans
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
My Lycan Prince's Redemptionย ย ย 137 The Arrival of New Life
Claire's POVโSoโฆ you really plan to exile Evans?โ I asked cautiously after listening to Louis recount the events in the dungeon the previous night. โWhat about the Black Mountain pack? Theyโre already stirring, trying to overthrow the royal family. Wonโt this only fuel their ambitions?โโOn 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.โLouis 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, โWhatโs wrong?โโThe grape tastes bad,โ I said, my mouth puckering from the sourness.โReally?โ Louis glanced at the grapes on the table and immediately summoned Alfred.โYour Highness.โโClaire says the grapes are bad.โโBad

Garfield's POVโSay it againโwhat did you do to him?!โ I tightened my grip on Mariaโs throat, feeling an overwhelming urge to snap it right there and then.โTell me, Maria, what else did you do to him?!!โโLet go of me! Garfield!โMaria's face had turned purple, her flailing legs now dancing on the edge of the abyss. Even this couldnโt 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 Louisโs 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.โPrince Louis, Evans... Evans tried to kill me!โLouisโs appearance was Mariaโs salvation. She cried out, reaching for Louisโs 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 wasnโt particularly sharp, he had always been loyal. If he claimed to have made a significant discovery, thenโฆI 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 cureโunless Maria
My Lycan Prince's Redemptionย ย ย 134 Chrisโs True Father
Maria's POVThings were progressing smoothly.I walked quickly through the castleโs corridors, followed by three or four guards. They were accompanying me to retrieve Prince Liamโs portraits and belongings on Louisโs orders. However, these items were useless in saving my sonโs life. The only person who could save Chris now was someone else entirely.โOuch!โ I exclaimed in pain, clutching my stomach and suddenly squatting down.โWhat happened?!โโI... my stomach hurts.โ I faced the approaching guards, looking distressed and speaking weakly, โIโve been too stressed about Chrisโs illness, and my stomach problems have flared up again.โโWhat should we do?!โ One of the guards scratched his head, looking worried. โShould I notify Prince LouisโฆโโNo, thereโs no time to waste!โ I bit my lip, feigning great pain, and interrupted the guardโs suggestion. โThe most important thing now is to get Prince Liamโs portraits and belongings! If Chris wakes up, he will surely want to see his father firstโฆ
My Lycan Prince's Redemptionย ย ย 133 Maria Returns
Claire's POVโWhat? Chris is in the hospital?! What happened?!โโCalm down, my dear.โLouis gently pushed me back onto the couch, but his brows remained furrowed. He turned to the guard who brought the news and asked, โCould this be another one of Mariaโs schemes? Is she trying to gain sympathy using Chris?โโNo.โ The guard lowered his head and relayed the information he received from the doctor about Chrisโs condition.โMoreover, I inquired with the emergency team that responded that night. They all confirmed that Chris nearly suffocated to death.โThe words โnearly suffocatedโ left Louis in silence, and I couldnโt 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 Liamโs only son.Thinking this, I turned to the guard and asked, โWhich hospital is Chris in now?โโSaint Richardโs Hospital, but Chris is still unconscious. The doctors have recommended no visitors.โIt seemed Chris was gravely ill this time. Both Lo
