Aiden’s POV

"It's about your brother, Hudson," Lucas began, his tone grave. "He held a closed-door meeting with the elders of the land while you were gone."

Aiden's eyes widened in surprise. "A meeting? What for?"

Lucas sighed, his gaze heavy with worry. "It lasted for hours, sir. And when they emerged, they were all smiling."

Aiden's mind raced with possibilities. What could Hudson be planning? Was he making a move for the throne?

"Hudson is truly making his move," Aiden muttered, more to himself than to Lucas.

"Yes, sir," Lucas agreed solemnly. "And now that you've brought a Luna from another pack, they believe they're one step closer to the throne."

Aiden's thoughts turned to Claire, the young woman he had brought back with him from the Crimson Pack. She was meant to be his bride, a symbol of unity between their two kingdoms. But now, with Hudson's schemes in motion, her role seemed uncertain.

"Perhaps we should keep Claire close for now," Aiden suggested, his voice tinged with unc

    Chloe’s POVI shook my head quickly, feeling a flush of embarrassment creep into my cheeks. "No one, really," I replied, trying to sound casual. "I just... I wanted to ask, that's all."Aiden continued to study me, his expression unreadable.Before looking away, I held his gaze for a moment. What was he thinking? Did he suspect that I knew more than I was letting on?Before I could dwell on it any further, one of Aiden's guards approached us, breaking the tension in the air. "Your Majesty," he said, bowing respectfully. "How are you this morning?"Aiden smiled warmly at the guard, his demeanor shifting instantly."Hey, Lucas," he said, returning the greeting. "I'm good, thanks. How about you?"Lucas straightened up, a hint of pride in his voice. "My night was good, Your Majesty," he replied. "No trouble to report."Aiden nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Any updates?" he asked, his tone turning serious once more.Lucas hesitated for a moment before leaning in closer, his voice dro

    Chloe’s POVAshley grinned mischievously. "Follow me," she said, gesturing for me to stand up.I hesitated for a moment, unsure of what she had in mind. But something in her expression told me to trust her, so I pushed my chair back and followed her out of the dining room.As we walked down the hallway, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation building within me. What could Ashley possibly have in store for me that would lift my spirit?Ashley led me through the grand halls of the palace, her steps light and graceful as she guided me to our destination. As we entered a breathtakingly beautiful hall adorned with intricate designs on the walls, I couldn't help but gasp in awe."Wow.

    Aiden's POVI stepped out of the car, feeling the weight of the day's meetings still pressing down on me. Each one had been more demanding than the last, leaving me exhausted but determined to fulfill my responsibilities as the future leader of my pack.As I glanced towards the guards standing near the garage, I offered them a nod of acknowledgment. "How's everything?" I inquired.They straightened up at my approach, their attention fully on me. "All is well, Your Highness," one of them replied politely."Has anyone seen Lucas?" I asked, a slight furrow forming on my brow.The guards exchanged uncertain glances before one of them responded. "No, Your Highness," he said. "We haven't seen him around."My concern deepened at the news. It was unlike Lucas to be absent without explanation, especially during such critical times. But I pushed aside my worries for the moment, knowing that I would have to investigate further once I was inside the house."Very well," I said with a nod. "I'll ch

    Adien’s POVClaire turned towards me, a mischievous glint in her eye, and with a smirk, she met my gaze directly. "You'll hear from me, Your Highness," she said cryptically before sauntering away with her entourage of maids in tow.I sighed heavily, running a hand through my hair in frustration. "Goodness gracious, this woman is going to be the end of me," I thought to myself as I watched Claire's retreating figure. I glanced over at Chloe, my younger sister, who stood nearby with a concerned expression."Go to your room," I commanded, my voice laced with irritation. Chloe, Ashley and the others, exchanged worried glances before obediently making their way out of the hall.Alone now, I sank into a nearby seat,"Is everything alright, Your Highness?" Someone said, and I looked up to see Marcus, approaching with a worried expression etched on his face."Don't worry, I will be fine," I said, trying to reassure him, though the tension in my shoulders betrayed my words."You really don't l

    Chloe’s POVI was stomping my feet as I rushed to my room, feeling all kinds of mad and confused. Aiden had just yelled at me, and boy, was he angry! I’d never seen him like that before. It appeared that he was about to explode, like one of those volcanoes we learned about in science class."Why does that lady Claire have to be such a troublemaker?" I grumbled to myself. Everything was going fine, and then she had to show up and ruin it all.Ugh! I was so annoyed, I didn’t even know who I was mad at anymore—Aiden, Claire, maybe even my maid Ashley. My head was all jumbled up with frustration.I could feel Ashley walking behind me, her sadness practically radiating off of her.I knew she’d blame herself for what happened, but it wasn’t her fault at all. She was just trying to cheer me up by taking me out of my room and showing me around the palace.“Chloe, honey, please wait,” Ashley called out to me, her voice shaky with worry.I stopped in my tracks and turned to look at her, crossin

How dare she?Who did she think she was, speaking to me like that? Did she have any idea who I was? I was seething with rage as I slammed the door shut behind me.I stormed to my table, the anger boiling inside me like a raging inferno.Without a second thought, I grabbed hold of it and hurled it at the wall with all my might.The satisfying crash of wood meeting stone echoed through the chamber as splinters flew in every direction.But even as the splinters everywhere erupted around me, it wasn't enough to quell the storm raging within."I'm the Lycan King!" I roared at the top of my lungs, the words reverberating off the walls.

"Wait, what?" I exclaimed, caught off guard by the sudden change in plans.Lucas nodded. "It was an instruction from Aiden.""You have to respect it and come while you get ready for the event."I groaned inwardly, feeling both tired and annoyed by the unexpected demand. "I'm busy and tired," I shouted back, hoping he would take the hint and leave me be."Miss Chloe, you need to freshen up. I'll be back in 30 minutes to get you ready," he said, before turning and walking away.I walked back and forth in my room, fuming quietly. My anger was building up, like a pot about to burst."Why would Aiden just send Lucas to tell me I have an event

I thought to myself, frustration evident in the crease of my brow.Claire glided up to me with her entourage of maids in tow, their presence looming large and their attire extravagant compared to my simple yet elegant ensemble. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy as I glanced at their perfectly tailored outfits and immaculate hairdos."Hello, Chloe," Claire greeted with a saccharine smile, her voice dripping with false sweetness as she reached out to air kiss my cheeks. I forced a polite smile in return, inwardly bristling at the insincerity in Claire's tone. "Hi, Claire," I replied, my voice betraying a hint of reluctance.Claire's gaze lingered on me for a moment before she spoke again, her tone laden with condescension. "You look... nice today," she remarked, her words carefully chosen to sound complimentary yet lacking genuine

    Years LaterThe grand festival continued into the night, but as the celebrations waned, a quieter, more reflective scene unfolded. Amidst the joy and laughter, Aiden and Chloe found themselves watching their children, Alex and Mia, play in the castle’s expansive gardens.Alex, now a young man of seventeen, had inherited his father’s strong, determined spirit. He was tall and confident, with a sharp gaze that seemed to miss nothing. His interactions with the other children were marked by a natural leadership, a blend of kindness and authority that spoke of his future role as a leader.Mia, a year younger than Alex, was equally impressive. She was vibrant and intelligent, with a keen sense of justice that mirrored her mother’s. Even at her young age, her ability to understand and empathize with others was remarkable.

    Aiden’s POVI stood there, my mind racing with a mix of shock, betrayal, and disbelief. The flashing red and blue lights of the police cars painted an eerie glow on the faces of the people I once called family. Claire, Mason, and Hudson were being led away in handcuffs, their expressions a mixture of anger and resignation."It's funny," I muttered, more to myself than anyone else, "how people you call your family and blood would turn against you."Ashley, my best friend, stood beside me, her face pale. "I can't believe they had a hand in your son's disappearance," she whispered, her voice trembling. "All this time..."I shook my head, feeling a bitter laugh bubbling up. "Yeah, I know the world is wicked and all, but nah... this was too massive," I said, my voice rising with emotion. "Like wow... damn... so I really had fake bloods around me."The words felt foreign in my mouth, like speaking in a language I didn't quite understand.

    Claire’s POVI arrived at the abandoned building, its skeletal structure of steel beams and concrete looming ominously against the twilight sky. This place, once a construction site left unfinished, now served as a perfect hideout for clandestine activities. Pulling up in my car, I shut off the engine and stepped out, my senses on high alert. Just then, my phone buzzed with a call from Mason."Mason, where are they?" I asked, my tone brisk."They’re inside the building, Claire. Just walk in, and you’ll find the kid," Mason's voice crackled over the line."Alright," I replied, my eyes scanning the darkened entrance. "I’m heading in now."Walking towards the entrance, the crunch of gravel underfoot punctuated the silence of the evening. As I stepped inside, the dim light from the setting sun barely penetrated the building’s interior, leaving me in shadowed uncertainty. I called out as I moved further in, my voice echoing off the empty walls."Mason, I’m inside. I don’t see anyone yet."

    Claire’s POVI entered my room and slammed the door, shaking the walls with the force of my anger. My breath came in ragged gasps, and my heart pounded furiously in my chest. God!!!! Chloe!!!!!! After all I have done to get rid of you, you still were able to squeeze yourself back into my life. Wow... Nice. I muttered to myself, an evil smile playing on my lips as I paced back and forth, trying to calm the storm inside me. I will make sure you and Aiden never have peace of mind.The room was dimly lit, the curtains drawn tight to shut out the world. My desk was cluttered with papers and books, the remnants of a life I was trying to rebuild. But now, all I could see was red. Memories of Chloe flooded my mind – the times she outshone me, the moments she humiliated me, the way she always seemed to have Aiden's attention.I paused in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. My eyes were wild, filled with a mix of rage and determination. "You always thought you were better than me, di

    Aiden’s POVThe room was dimly lit, and the smell of antiseptic was heavy in the air. I blinked slowly, trying to clear the fog from my mind. My head throbbed with a searing pain that felt like it was tearing through my skull. It took a moment for my surroundings to come into focus—the hospital room, the steady beeping of monitors, and the IV drip attached to my arm."Finally, you're awake," a familiar voice broke through the haze. It was Lucas, sitting in a chair beside my bed, his face a mixture of relief and concern."Lucas..." I croaked, my voice raspy and weak. "What... what happened?"He leaned forward, his eyes never leaving mine. "Aiden, we thought we lost you. Chloe managed to reach me after it all happened. She said you both were attacked."I struggled to sit up, wincing as pain shot through my body. "Yeah, we were... Is she okay? Are the kids okay?"Lucas hesitated, his silence stretching like a taut wire. I repeated my question, my voice rising in urgency. "Lucas, are Chlo

As I heard Mia and Alex having their playful banter in the back seat, I couldn’t help but smile. Yeah, finally, I had gotten what I had been missing all this while to myself."Why are you smiling really hard?" Chloe asked, her voice pulling me back from my thoughts."Ooh, nothing," I said, my smile widening."Hmm, you sure?" she asked, giving me a sideways glance."Yeah, just thinking about how perfect everything is right now," I replied, glancing at her briefly before focusing back on the road."I can see that," she said with a soft laugh. "It’s kind of contagious, you know.""What is?" I asked, curious."Your smile. The kids are smiling too. Look at them," she said, turning slightly to look at the back seat.I glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Mia and Alex giggling, their faces lit up with joy. It warmed my

"It is said that they are returning as couples.""What! Couples? How?" I exclaimed, standing up so abruptly that my chair toppled over. "Isn't Aiden meant to kill her for him to have peace? Wasn't that what the goddess we paid instructed him to do?""Yes, sir, but—""But what?" I cut the guard off angrily. "See, get me Claire," I told him, even as I sat back angrily in the bathtub. "What sort of rubbish is this?"The guard nodded quickly and scurried out of the room. I leaned back in the tub, the warm water doing little to soothe my rising irritation. How could Aiden betray us like this? What could possibly have happened?Minutes later, Claire,

There's a lot to discuss.'We moved to the sitting area, the tension in the room palpable.
