Eero's perspective.I closed the door behind me and bit my lower lip."I'm here. It's okay, you can cry. You don't have to fake a strong facade. I know what you're feeling," my wolf said to me.Within a snap, the emptiness that's been consuming me for quite some time lightens up as I see Perseus sleeping peacefully on our bed with his animal-printed pairs of pajamas. I dropped my bag on the dresser, then removed the stilettos I was wearing, and slowly walked closer to the bed.I placed a feather-light
Eero's perspectiveThe entire trip to the funeral for my adoptive father's funeral was shrouded in deafening silence."I can't stand this anymore. I should have hailed a taxi or called a nearby driver to pick me up. The awkwardness is killing me," I whispered to my wolf."If you didn't bring up your past with him, things would be less awkward, and he told you why Claudius had to pick you up."I couldn't help but raise my brow, "Did you think that the Luna Queen–""Yes, Eero. When was the last time you had a proper word with her? Three? Four years ago. A lot can happen within that period, and Luna Aelice is thousands of miles different from the Aelice you first met."Looking around the road. I realized that Claudius took a route that I was not familiar with."Are we still far?" I asked Claudius, not sparing him a glance. I looked at my wristwatch and saw it was already 7:48 in the morning. Perseus is probably awake and looking for me."I hope Perseus won't call me while I'm with Claudiu
Eero's perspective"I beg your pardon? If Codrus didn't accept Claudius as your mate back when he was still alive. What made you think that you can come back to him now? Aelice wouldn't allow you to reject Miguel Blackthorn." Beta Octavio soon painted a mocking smile on his lips, insinuating something."Aelice wouldn't allow me? What makes you think that I need the Luna Queen's permission to reject my husband and run back to my true second chance mate?"It was now my turn to smile or smirk at Beta Octavio."Aelice is the Luna Queen, and until you're crowned the new Alpha of Regulus and Queen of the realm, my daughter will remain as the shifter who holds the highest position.""It will take a while before you can manage to win the favors of the council to crown you—""But they would still prefer me if they discovered that the Luna Queen's son isn't the Alpha King's." Beta Octavio's jaw clenched."Ask me how I found out?" I dared the beta, but he rem
Eero's perspective"He's not mine, but yours. It was Perseus that I was talking to earlier, your pup, Claudius." Caspian said to his best friend and Claudius looked like someone threw a bomb at him. His jaw clenched and he was eyeing me dangerously."Fuck you, Caspian" I blurted out. I turned away from my ex-second chance mate and in a moment like this where I don't know what exactly to tell Claudius, walking out is what it seems like the only option that would save my ass from here."Eero, come back here! We're not yet done talking!" Claudius hissed inside of my head. My footsteps were halted, taken aback by the fact that we could still communicate with each other through telepathy."Why do you look so shocked?" Claudius once again asked inside of my head. My lips trembled, I pivot and exactly at that moment, Claudius inched the distance between us, gazing at me fiercely."How can you still talk to me through telepathy? You already rejected me as your second chance mate, and you're w
Eero's perspectiveI narrowed my eyes at Claudius and slightly nudged his arm to follow up on the question that I had asked him earlier."Did my son saw us, Claudius?" I asked again through the mind link. Claudius was about to finally open his lips to respond to me when I heard Perseus whining at Miguel."Papa, why did you cover my eyes? Let go of me, Papa! I'm coming to greet, Mama. Why are you stopping me?" Hearing that from my pup gave me the courage to turn around to them."Papa, let go of my eyes
Eero's PerspectiveAll the words that I've been meaning to say to stop my son from leaving with Claudius got stuck in my throat. The two were already meters away from me when I found myself capable of forming words. I turned to face Miguel and all that he could give me was an apologetic smile and a little shrug."Well, at least he didn't tell Perseus that he is his father, right?" Miguel followed me as I found myself walking back to my old room in the realm."Claudius will surely ask permission when the time comes and he wants Perseus to know that he isn't just an uncle, but his fat
Eero's perspectiveMiguel softly, and gently shoved the annulment paper on my hand. He looked around in search of a particular item and when his eyes spotted it. Miguel's feet quickly brought him to it."A pen?" He said, showing it to me. A bitter smile stretched on the corner of my lips before it became a chuckle."What's the rush? Hmm? You can be honest with me. Did you already find your fated mate and you can't wait to be with her?" I joked.Miguel sat across me after he put the pen next to the ann
Claudius's perspectiveI smiled as I heard Eero's little curses while I took Perseus away from her to bring him to where Codrus woke."You better make sure that you'll keep him safe, Claudius. If something happens to my pup. I'll rip your throat," she threatened me. I could hear how serious she was, but I still found her cute and adorable like a tamed little puppy."Answer me? And don't you dare bring him outside of the realm or somewhere I don't know! He has a tracker on his watch for your information, I could see his whereabouts." I glanced at the wristwatch on the arm of my pup.
