After the long hug that seemed to stitch together the fragments of the day, Rylan gently guided Aria back to their shared room.Ace had fallen asleep as soon as his little head touched the pillow, his small chest rising and falling in peaceful slumber.Rylan kissed Aria’s forehead, whispered a tender goodnight, and slipped into his own side of the bed.Soon, his rhythmic breathing filled the room, signaling that he had succumbed to exhaustion. But for Aria, sleep was elusive.She lay still, staring at the intricate designs on the ceiling, her thoughts whirling like leaves caught in a storm.It wasn’t just the tension of the day or Rylan’s somber mood since their return that kept her awake. No, it was the growing weight of confusion, of something just beyond her grasp, tickling the edges of her consciousness.The first tendrils of doubt had crept in months ago, the day she met Alpha King Kane for the first time.The image of him frozen in the street after Ace splashed him with ice crea

The morning sun streamed through the windows, its golden rays casting a warm glow across the room.Despite the serenity of the dawn, tension filled the air as Aria sat at the edge of their bed, her hands clasped tightly in her lap.Across from her, Rylan leaned against the window frame, his arms crossed and his gaze fixed on the horizon.Neither had spoken much since waking, the weight of the truth revealed the night before still fresh and heavy between them.Ace, blissfully unaware of the undercurrents brewing around him, was playing in the adjacent room.His joyful giggles echoed faintly through the walls, a stark contrast to the somber mood enveloping his parents.Aria finally broke the silence, her voice soft but tinged with uncertainty. “What do we do now, Rylan?” She looked up at him, her emerald eyes filled with worry. “This changes everything. Ace… he’s not just…” Her voice trailed off as she struggled to put her swirling thoughts into words.Rylan turned to face her, his feat

The morning was quiet, the kind of stillness that often masked impending turmoil.Aria had retreated to the garden to clear her head, and Rylan was deep in thought in his study.Neither of them noticed the figure lurking nearby, carefully concealed in the shadow of the corridor.Miranda, a once trusted member of the pack’s household, had her ear pressed against the study door.Her heart raced as she pieced together the conversation taking place inside. Her loyalty had never been with Rylan, instead, it lay with Celeste, Rylan’s former Luna, whose presence still lingered like a ghost in certain corners of the pack’s lands.From what Miranda had overheard, the truth was far more explosive than she could have imagined.Ace wasn’t Rylan’s biological son. The boy belonged to Alpha King Kane, a revelation that could shatter alliances and fuel rivalries. And Aria, Rylan’s Luna, was none other than Kane’s long lost mate, Layla.Miranda’s mind raced.Every detail of the conversation replayed i

By nightfall, Joshua returned with a modest stack of papers and a wary expression.He placed the file on Amelia’s desk, his posture stiff. “This is what I could gather so far. It’s not much, but it’s a start.”Amelia’s fingers skimmed over the papers, her eyes scanning the reports with practiced precision.There were old pack records, notes from Zara’s friends, and even a few speculative letters from distant contacts who claimed to have seen her.“She was seen in the Northern Territories,” Joshua began, pointing to one of the reports. “Shortly after leaving the pack. But the trail goes cold after that. No one seems to know where she went or why.”Amelia’s lips pursed as she read further. “And the Northern Territories just happen to be a haven for rogues and exiles. Convenient.”“There’s also this,” Joshua added, pulling a folded piece of parchment from his pocket.He placed it on the desk, his expression grim. “It’s a rumor I came across. I don’t know how credible it is, but it’s wort

The days that followed were a blur of meetings and responsibilities, but Kane’s mind was never far from the hidden truth.He carried on with the facade of normalcy, his commanding presence undiminished as he addressed his council and oversaw pack affairs. Yet, beneath the surface, the storm brewed.He began reviewing Zara’s last known movements, quietly questioning those who had been closest to her.The answers were sparse, the trail cold.It was as though someone had deliberately erased her from the narrative of life, leaving only fragments for him to piece together.At night, when the castle fell silent, Kane would retreat to his private chambers, poring over old records and memories.He found himself revisiting moments with Zara that he had long buried. And then there was Aria, or Layla. The woman who had turned his world upside down with a single glance.Kane’s decision to keep Zara’s identity a secret weighed heavily on him.He knew it was the right choice for the stability of th

The town square bustled with life, vendors calling out their wares, children laughing as they chased each other, and the scent of freshly baked bread wafting through the air.Aria held Ace’s hand as they wandered from stall to stall, her son’s excitement infectious as he pointed out colorful trinkets and shiny objects that caught his eye.“Mommy, look!” Ace tugged at her hand, pulling her toward a stand filled with wooden toys. “Can I get the horse?”Aria smiled softly, ruffling his hair. “We’ll see, sweetheart. Let’s finish looking around first.”As they continued, Aria’s sense of ease was abruptly shattered. From across the square, she spotted a figure she hadn’t expected to see, Celeste.Rylan’s ex wife stood with an air of elegance, her striking features framed by auburn curls, but her sharp gaze locked onto Aria with a venomous intensity.Before Aria could react, Celeste was striding toward them, her heels clicking against the cobblestones.“Well, isn’t this a sight,” Celeste sai

Rylan’s jaw tightened, his eyes darkening. “What do you mean she knows? Did she say something to you?”Aria nodded, recounting the encounter in the town square.As she spoke, her voice grew steadier, but the anger and fear in her words were unmistakable.“She called me Layla,” Aria said, pacing the room. “She said she knows who Ace’s father is. She said it was only a matter of time before the truth comes out.”Rylan’s fists clenched at his sides. “That woman has always been trouble. I should’ve known she wouldn’t stay out of our lives for good.”“What do we do, Rylan?” Aria asked, her voice breaking. “She’s dangerous. If she spreads this, it won’t just be about me or Ace. It could tear everything apart.”Rylan stepped forward, placing his hands on her shoulders. “We’ll handle this,” he said firmly. “Celeste has always been vindictive, but she won’t get the upper hand here. I won’t let her.”“But how?” Aria pressed. “She already knows too much. If she tells anyone...”“She won’t,” Ryla

The morning air was crisp and laced with tension as Rylan stormed into the meeting hall.His jaw was clenched, his steps heavy with purpose as he scanned the room.Celeste stood near the far end, her poise as immaculate as ever.She was dressed elegantly, her golden hair cascading down her back, a picture of composure that only served to stoke Rylan's frustration.She turned as he approached, a sly smile curling her lips. “Alpha Rylan,” she greeted, her tone mocking. “What brings you here so early? Couldn’t resist my charm, perhaps?”Rylan’s eyes narrowed, his voice low but firm. “Cut the games, Celeste. We need to talk.”Celeste arched a brow, feigning innocence. “Talk? Whatever about?”Rylan crossed his arms, his glare unyielding. “Don’t play coy. You know exactly what this is about. You know the truth about Aria… about Layla.”For a brief moment, a flicker of triumph passed through Celeste’s eyes before she masked it with feigned surprise. “Oh, that.” She smirked, leaning casually

The journey to Kane’s territory was both somber and filled with anticipation.Ace, his excitement rekindled, chatted endlessly with Aria about what he expected life to be like in his new home.Waiting just beyond the gates was Kane, his imposing figure standing tall amidst the bustle of his pack.When the car came to a stop, he approached, his golden eyes lighting up as he saw Ace step out, holding Aria’s hand.Kane crouched down, arms wide open, and Ace hesitated only for a moment before running into them. “Alpha Kane!” Ace exclaimed, his voice bubbling with excitement. “I’m here!”Kane held him tightly, his voice warm and filled with emotion. “You’re finally home, my boy. And you don’t have to call me Alpha Kane anymore. Just call me Dad.”Ace grinned widely. “Okay, Dad.”Aria stood to the side, her heart swelling as she watched the exchange.Kane turned to her, his gaze softening. “Thank you, Aria,” he said, his voice low but fervent. “Thank you for bringing him here. For trusting

The next day, the warm light of the setting sun filtered through the window as Aria sat on the edge of Ace’s bed.The young boy was surrounded by his favorite toys and drawings, his curious eyes fixed on his mother as she gently stroked his hair.“Ace,” she began softly, her tone laced with both excitement and nervousness. “There’s something very important I need to tell you.”Ace tilted his head, his small face lighting up with intrigue. “Is it about why everyone’s been acting so serious lately?”Aria smiled, amused at his perceptiveness. “It is, sweetheart. It’s something about who you are, about our family.”Ace sat up straighter, his gaze unwavering. “What is it, Mama?”Taking a deep breath, Aria reached for Ace’s hands, holding them gently in her own. “Ace, do you remember when I told you that your papa, Alpha Rylan, saved us and gave us a home?”Ace nodded enthusiastically. “Yes! Papa is the best!”Aria’s heart swelled with love, but she pushed forward. “He is, and he’ll always

The transformation on Kane’s face was immediate and overwhelming. His eyes widened, a brilliant light of joy and disbelief breaking through the storm of emotions he had been carrying.His lips parted in a smile so genuine it made Aria’s heart ache.“My son,” he repeated, this time louder, his voice filled with awe and reverence. “Ace is my son.”He laughed, a sound so rare and unguarded that it echoed warmly in the room.Kane stepped forward and, without hesitation, wrapped Aria in a tight embrace, his arms encircling her protectively.“I have a son,” he murmured into her hair. “Layla, you’ve given me something I never thought I’d have, a family.”Aria let herself sink into his embrace for a moment, her emotions a whirlwind. But as much as she wanted to hold on to the warmth of his joy, she knew this wasn’t the end of their journey.Pulling back slightly, she looked up at him, her expression serious. “Kane, this doesn’t change everything. Ace is your son, but he’s also Rylan’s son in

As the packhouse bustled with activity, the air buzzed with anticipation.Wolves cleaned and redecorated Layla’s old room under Kane’s watchful eye, ensuring every detail was perfect.The scent of fresh flowers filled the space, mingling with the faint traces of her lingering presence that had never truly faded.Kane stood in the doorway, his gaze sweeping over the room.It was exactly as it had been years ago, untouched and waiting.The bed was neatly made with soft, warm furs, the curtains pulled back to let in the moonlight.On the nightstand, a delicate vase held a single white rose, its petals pristine and pure.“She’ll be here,” Kane murmured to himself, his voice barely audible. “She’ll see this and know she has a home waiting for her.”But even as he spoke, a shadow of doubt crept into his mind.He had seen the way Rylan looked at Aria, the way he had fought to keep her and Ace by his side.Kane clenched his fists, his resolve hardening.He would not let Rylan win.

“You remember,” Rylan said, his voice low but steady, addressing Aria directly.She nodded, her hand instinctively tightening on Kane’s shoulder. “I remember everything,” she said softly. “About Aiden. About Kane. About... about all of it.”Rylan’s jaw tightened imperceptibly, but he nodded. “And what does that mean for us? For Ace?”Her heart clenched at the mention of Ace. “It doesn’t change that he’s our son,” she said, her voice firm but gentle. “Rylan, you’ve been an incredible father to him. That doesn’t change because of who Kane is.”Kane stiffened slightly, his grip on Aria’s waist loosening.He glanced at her, his brow furrowing. “What are you saying, Aria?” he asked, his tone laced with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.She took a deep breath, stepping back from both men to create some space. “I need time,” she said, her voice steady but tinged with vulnerability. “I’ve just regained a part of myself I thought I’d lost forever. I need to figure out who I am, who I am now

Aria made her way back to the pack’s territory.Her steps were unsteady, her mind a whirlwind of emotions.The memories were sharp and vivid, each one striking her like a lightning bolt. Every moment she had lived as Layla now coalesced with her present life as Aria, forming a mosaic of pain, betrayal, love, and resilience.She clutched her arms around herself, her breath hitching with each step.The towering gates of the pack’s territory came into view, and she quickened her pace. Every instinct urged her forward, every fiber of her being telling her that she needed to be here, now.As she approached the gates, she spotted a familiar figure. Kane stood by his car, one hand gripping the door, the other running through his dark hair.His powerful frame was tense, his golden eyes scanning the horizon as if he were waiting for something, or someone.Aria froze for a moment, her heart hammering in her chest.The sight of him brought a rush of emotions, the man who had once been her mate,

Aria rose from the fallen log, her body still tense from the emotional confrontation she had endured.The moonlight filtered through the trees, casting silvery patterns on the forest floor.As she turned to leave the clearing, her foot caught on a piece of uneven wood hidden beneath the underbrush.She stumbled forward, landing on her hands and knees with a sharp gasp.The impact jarred her, but it was the sudden rush of images flooding her mind that stole her breath away.She was 18 again, walking through the town pack when she encountered Aiden, the then Alpha in the grand town hall.Her heart pounded with anticipation as she approached Aiden, the one who had made her feel the mate bond.He was her mate, she could feel it in her bones. Tonight, on her birthday, he would claim her, and their future together would begin.But his eyes, once warm and inviting, were cold.“I can’t,” he said, his voice low but firm. “I don’t want you, Layla.”Her heart shattered. “What do you mean?” she w

The forest, once alive with danger had settled into an uneasy stillness. Celeste and Amelia, subdued, were escorted back to Rylan’s territory by his warriors.The Alphas, Kane and Rylan, stood a short distance apart, their gazes locked in a silent battle of wills.Aria sat on a fallen log, holding Ace close.The boy clung to her, his face buried in her neck as she stroked his hair soothingly.Her heart still raced from the events of the day, but the warmth of her son’s embrace grounded her.Kane approached cautiously, his usually commanding presence softened by concern. “Aria,” he said, his voice low and measured.She looked up, meeting his gaze.“Thank you for finding Ace,” she said, her tone polite but distant.Kane knelt in front of her, his eyes searching hers. “You don’t have to thank me. I’d do anything for you and Ace, you know that.”Rylan’s voice cut through the moment like a blade. “And yet you put them in danger with Amelia.”Kane stood, turning to face Rylan. “Don’t preten

Even though Ace had been found and safely returned, Aria could not shake the feeling of unease clawing at her heart.Something about the entire ordeal felt unresolved, as if a larger danger still loomed.While Rylan and Kane coordinated with their packs, Aria quietly slipped away, her instincts pulling her deeper into the forest.The forest was eerily silent, the faint rustle of leaves the only sound accompanying her hurried steps.Her thoughts swirled with fear and anger, not just at Celeste and Amelia for their cruelty, but at herself for not being able to protect her son.She clenched her fists, frustration boiling within her.As she pushed forward, fragments of a memory flickered in her mind: a clearing bathed in moonlight, the scent of lilies, a soft voice calling her name, Layla.“Who am I?” she whispered, her voice trembling.Something within her stirred, an ancient strength she couldn’t yet name. She pushed on, determined to find the truth, no matter the cost.As Aria ventured
