The following morning, Alpha Kael and Aurora arrived at the airport, eager to reunite with their family. After a swift departure, they landed back in Moonlight Park, their minds focused on the loved ones they were about to meet. As they drove straight to the hospital, a mix of emotions swirled within them. They were relieved to be back, yet anxious about the reason for their sudden return. Upon their arrival at the hospital, Kael and Aurora were immediately enveloped in a flurry of inquiries from their family. However, Kael's primary concern remained his grandmother's well-being. With a firm yet anxious tone, he asked, "How is she?" His mother attempted to provide a detailed explanation, "We didn't anticipate her condition would deteriorate so rapidly. The doctors have been monitoring her closely, and—" But Kael's attention was already fixed on his grandmother's room, his heart racing with anticipation. He swiftly made his way towards the door, Aurora by his side. As Kael ga
As the family headed upstairs, Valtira slipped up behind Kael and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Can I join you, Alpha?" she asked, her voice low and husky. "You look like you could use some help relaxing after today's stress."Kael felt a pang of guilt as he saw Aurora walking towards her room, her eyes flicking towards them before quickly looking away. "Not today, Valtira," he said, trying to sound firm but his voice came out weak.Valtira's grip on his waist tightened as she leaned in close. "I knew you'd say that," she whispered, her breath tickling his ear. "But I insist on helping you unwind. Unless... you don't want me around anymore?"Kael turned to face her, his eyes locked on hers. "That's not it at all," he said, trying to reassure her.Valtira's smile grew wider as she leaned in closer. "Good," she whispered, her lips brushing against his. "Because I'm not going anywhere."As Valtira's lips lingered on Kael's, Aurora's footsteps paused outside her room. She felt a sti
As soon as Valtira heard the bathroom door creak open, she swiftly transformed her expression to one of hurt. Alpha Kael, emerging with a towel wrapped around his waist, couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her. He approached her, attempting to gain her attention, but she pushed his hand away."Come on, Valtira. Don't be like that," Alpha Kael coaxed, trying to turn her to face him."Me?!" Valtira lashed back, her voice trembling with hurt and anger. "You're putting this on me, Kay? When it's you who's been acting distant since you returned from that stupid town with Aurora? Tell me, what am I missing? Did you suddenly fall for the mother of your unborn pup, whom you claimed to have no feelings for?"Valtira paused, her eyes blazing with emotion. "If that's the case, tell me now. Because I don't know what we are to each other anymore. You're slowly making me feel like the other woman in your life when it should be Aurora feeling that way and not me. Am i the home wrecker? B
One by one, the family members gathered around the breakfast table, exchanging warm morning greetings. As they served themselves, Alpha Kael's mother noticed the bandage on Valtira's hand. "Oh dear, what happened to you, Valtira?" she asked, her voice filled with concern and love. Alpha Kael attempted to speak, but Valtira swiftly placed her index finger across his lips, silencing him. "Shhhhh... I'll get embarrassed," she whispered to Alpha Kael. "It was nothing, Mother," Valtira said with a smile. "I just got a little rough in the bathroom last night. But I'm okay, Kay took perfect care of me." To the other family members, this was nothing new. They were accustomed to Valtira's outbursts, smashing and hitting things when she was upset. They assumed she had been furious about something and smashed the mirror. However, Aurora's thoughts didn't align with theirs. She had witnessed the scene with her own eyes and heard everything clearly. Soon after break fast, everyone on
Aurora's grip on Alpha Kael's arm tightened, her nails digging into his skin like talons. "Don't go please," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. "Choose me just this once, Kael. Choose us." She pleaded passionately. Alpha Kael's eyes burned with conflict, his gaze darting between Aurora's pleading face and the door Valtira had fled through. For a moment, he seemed torn, his loyalty and duty warring with his desire. Then, with a deep breath he turned back to Aurora, his lips crashing down on hers in a fierce, possessive kiss. The towel wrapped around her chest began to unravel, and she felt his hands roaming her body, rekindling the flames of passion that had been interrupted.Aurora knew she had won. But at what cost? In this moment, all that mattered was the feel of Alpha Kael's skin against hers, the taste of his lips, and the sound of his ragged breathing. She felt alive, desired, and loved. As they broke apart for air, Alpha Kael's eyes locked onto hers, burning w
Valtira's hand trembled as she held the knife to her wrist, her eyes locked on Alpha Kael's. "What do you really want, Kael? Who does your heart desire?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Alpha Kael's expression softened, his eyes filled with a mix of sadness and longing. "Valtira, I love and care about you deeply and you know that. You're my fiancée, my childhood sweetheart, and betrothed. But..." He paused, glancing at Aurora before returning his gaze to Valtira. "Aurora is my wife and the mother of my children." Valtira's face crumpled, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Is that all she is to you?" she asked, her voice cracking. Guilt roamed around Alpha Kael's face as he answered Valtira's question, shaking his head in disagreement. Valtira let out a sarcastic laugh. "So, you're admitting that you have feelings for her?" Alpha Kael just looked straight into her eyes, his expression unyielding, without saying a word. Valtira burst out crying, her body shaking uncon
As Valtira stepped out of the hospital, Alpha Kael couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. He was relieved that she was recovering well, but anxious about the uncertain future ahead. He knew he had to find a way to break the news to his family about his decision to marry Valtira. Aurora, in particular, was his concern. She was his wife and the mother of his unborn child , and a woman he had sworn to love and protect in front of his subjects and family. How could he possibly tell her that he was going to marry another woman? The thought sent a pang of guilt through his chest. Valtira, sensing his unease, slipped her hand into his. "Don't worry, Kael," she said softly. "We'll face this together and We'll find a way to make it work." But Alpha Kael knew it wouldn't be easy. He was about to shatter the lives of those he loved, all for a chance at happiness with Valtira. He couldn't shake off the feeling that he was making a grave mistake. As Alpha Kael drove Valtira home, they we
Aurora's eyes widened in surprise. "That's your plan?" she asked, incredulous. Annie nodded intentionally. "Yes, Aurora. Valtira wants to drive Alpha Kael to desperation, so we'll use jealousy to our advantage. If she wants war, we'll give her one." Aurora's curiosity got the better of her. "And Alpha Ryker is okay with all of this show we are putting up?" she asked concerned. Annie confirmed, "100% percent. We need to show Alpha Kael that you're not an option to be used whenever he likes nor are you his play thing. It's either you or you again, there's no in-between." Aurora shook her head, still unsure. "Is that even a choice?" Annie disagreed laughing, her expression firm. "Cheer up, Aurora, You're not alone on this one. I'm here with you." As they shared a laugh, Annie helped Aurora wipe away her tears. "You can't fight alone, not when you have me." now "Off you go, my darling," Annie said with a sly smile, ushering Aurora out the door. "Watch our plans unfold from a d
