Garfield's POV

Revealing Kitty's true identity barely saved both mine and Kitty's lives, but it didn't grant us our freedom.

Louis ordered us to stay within the castle. Despite being given guest rooms, several armed guards were stationed outside our doors. To me, it felt more like confinement than anything else.

However, that wasn't my biggest concern at the moment.

I lay on the bed with my injured leg, which had been treated by a doctor and wrapped in thick bandages. I couldn't even get out of bed, let alone approach Kitty who sat curled up in the corner.

"Come back here, Kitty. That corner won't be as comfortable for you to sleep in."

I patted the empty space beside me and called out to Kitty in a hoarse voice, but she completely ignored my plea. At that moment, her blue eyes widened, scrutinizing me like a cautious little wolf.

I could feel the anger, sadness, and confusion emanating from her gaze, making me sigh deeply.

"My dear daughter, no matter how much you hate me right now,

    Claire's POVWatching Louis return, I helped him take off his thick coat and hung it on the nearby rack before handing him the hot tea I had prepared."How did it go? Did Evans confess anything to you?""He swore it had nothing to do with him and hinted that it might be related to Maria.""Maria?" Hearing that name, I furrowed my brows, a hint of confusion creeping into my mind. "But before this, Evans always seemed to defend Maria fiercely. It looked like they had some sort of alliance...""That was my thought too. But it seems there's obviously a rift between them now. But maybe it's a good thing for us, after all, one is as cunning as a fox, and the other as venomous as a snake."Louis finished speaking and closed his eyes, leaning back in his chair.I moved behind him, starting to gently massage his temples with my fingers. Under my ministrations, Louis's furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and he raised his arm, grabbing my hand."I want to hear your thoughts, Claire. What do you th

Come on, stop frowning, give me a kiss, my beauty.""Get lost!"I pushed Andy away with disgust, glaring at him as he stumbled a few steps before regaining his balance."You almost ruined my carefully prepared makeup.""Hah, carefully prepared?" My rejection made Andy embarrassed and angry. "You only dress up like this when you go to see Louis, right? Too bad, he only has eyes for—""Shut up!"I snapped at Andy angrily, slamming the wooden comb on the vanity.The comb broke with a sound."Never, ever mention that wo

    Claire's POV"Oh, Claire, it's so good to see you!"Upon receiving the servant's notice, I hurried to the castle's hall where Maria, dressed in her finest attire, quickly rose from the sofa and approached me with a fake smile. She gave me a perfumed, insincere hug."Maria? Why did you..."Before I could ask her purpose, Maria had already grabbed my hand and started complimenting me in an overly exaggerated tone."Oh, dear, you must tell me what cosmetics you're using! You look even more stunning today than the last time we met!"For the sake of the Moon Goddess.I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes and forced a smile as fake as hers. But I wasn't here to engage in meaningless social pleasantries with her. I decisively withdrew my hand from Maria's grasp."Sorry, dear, but actually, I'm not wearing any makeup today."This sarcastic response caused a crack in Maria's smile. Although she maintained a warm expression, her eyes turned cold like a snake's.This woman definitely doesn't hav

Doesn't he know how disgusting it is for me to flatter this foolish Claire against my will?!Damn it, what happened?!“Well, I’ll consider what you said today, Maria.”Just as I was feeling increasingly irritated, Claire suddenly stood up from beside me. She lifted her chin high, giving me a disdainful glance, clearly indicating she wanted me to leave.“And regarding what you said about Garfield Evans—I will inform Prince Louis. But in fact, he is already wary of Evans. Evans is currently detained by Louis in the castle, so there's no need for you to worry about him anymore.”“What?!”Bad news kept coming one after another. Hearing that Evans was detained, I almost jumped out of the sofa in shock.“Evans is detained by Louis?! Why have I never heard about this?!”“It

We haven't ruled out the possibility of him being an assassin, so we need to escort you to a safe place immediately!”However, facing the panting guard, I stood up from the armchair, buttoned my suit jacket, and spoke calmly.“Have you identified the man yet? And where is Claire?!”“We have already dispatched a patrol team to protect Claire and Maria! As for the captured man… he insists he’s not an assassin, but we haven't confirmed his identity yet.”“Wait, did you just say, Maria?”I squinted at the guard, “She’s in the castle now? With Claire?”“Yes, Your Highness.”“When did this happen?”“About ten minutes ago.” The guard answered with his head down, “Your Highness, should we use the whip on the suspect? Give me a little more time, and I believe we can get him to tal

    Louis’s POV“Prince Louis.”When Maria’s voice sounded from behind me, I instinctively frowned. However, as I turned around and saw her heavily made-up face filled with panic and fear, a strange sense of satisfaction welled up within me. Why was she afraid? Had she already learned about Andy’s capture?I quickly pondered the possibilities. Regardless of the reason, enjoying this woman’s discomfort always brought me pleasure. Too bad it wasn't time to reveal her true nature just yet.Suppressing my emotions, I motioned for Maria to walk down the stairs and sit in front of me. “Have a seat, Maria. Would you like something to drink? Tea or coffee?”As expected, my deliberate display of friendliness made Maria lower her guard temporarily. That familiar smile reappeared on her face, and her shrewd eyes studied my expression. “Tea with milk, no sugar.”The servant received the order and silently left the room. When she returned, a steaming cup of tea was placed in front of Maria.“So, Maria

How are you here?”“I’ve been in the next room all along, you b.itch! You’re so heartless and cruel!”Andy’s teeth gnashed in fury, looking like he wanted to tear Maria’s fake face apart.“You knew I did this for you! Yet you not only refused to plead with Prince Louis for me but also agreed to have me killed! Why? Maria? Why would you do this to me?!”At this moment, Andy’s furious roars carried a hint of sobbing. This poor man probably couldn’t understand yet that to someone like Maria, he was nothing more than a stepping stone.As I looked at Andy with pity, Maria turned her gaze toward him. She stared at Andy, taking several steps back as if he were a dangerous and filthy contaminant.“You’re insane, Andy! How could I ask you to do such a thing?! Evans has already made the letter public, so even if you stole it, it wouldn’t…”“Wait!”Loui

When a child is separated from his mother, he will naturally want to find his mother. It’s inevitable.”While Maria’s expression revealed her satisfaction, Louis’s face darkened completely. The air grew thick with impending danger. Everyone present held their breath, fearing they might be the one to ignite Prince Louis’s wrath.“Prince Louis, please believe me, I really didn’t—”“Stop thinking you can always use Chris to escape punishment, Maria.”Louis lifted his chin, looking down at Maria with cold disdain. He delivered a nearly threatening warning, “You will pay for your crimes. Remember my words.”“Louis, I—”Before she could finish, Louis grabbed my hand and walked out, ignoring Maria entirely.

    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's POV“Say it again—what did you do to him?!” I tightened my grip on Maria’s throat, feeling an overwhelming urge to snap it right there and then.“Tell me, Maria, what else did you do to him?!!”“Let go of me! 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
