Author’s POV.Blair stood outside the pack house in the darkness, a grin spreading across her face as she recognized the signal the maid had given. Elarian should have already drunk the water, and the pain should have kicked in by now. This was her cue to end everything.When Blair had left Aeros, casting a powerful spell to keep her true face hidden, she never expected him to take a liking to someone else so suddenly. She had kept her eyes on him all these years, watching him wallow in self-pity and pain, which was exactly what she wanted him to feel.After all, Aeros had imprisoned the man she truly loved. When she heard that he had brought another woman home, she was enraged. She did everything she could to stir guilt inside him, manipulating small things to push him into driving Elarian away.And he had done exactly that, after a few carefully planned nudges in the right direction."The bastard thought he could sweep me under the carpet that easily?" she scoffed into the darkness.

AEROS "You need to calm down," Jonathan said to me as I paced the length of my study, teetering on the verge of a nervous breakdown, unable to think straight. My heart raced uncontrollably, and with each passing second, the pressure became almost unbearable. Fear gripped me, and I couldn’t escape the crushing weight of it.I was terrified of losing her."She asked me to brace myself for the worst, Jonathan. Do you even understand what that means? It means she could die!" I shouted in panic, my voice filled with desperation. Jonathan sighed heavily and rose to his feet, coming to stand by my side."It breaks my heart to see you like this, Aeros. And yes, the thought of losing your pup just when you found out about them is gut-wrenching, but this is beyond us. You need to stay strong for whatever comes next. You’re the Alpha, and you need to—""I don’t need to hear this, Jonathan!" I snapped, cutting him off. "I don’t need you to tell me to stay strong. What I need is a solution. A way

AEROS “Are you really going to do this? Seek help from dark magic? That could make things so much worse, and I hope you know that,” Jonathan asked for the umpteenth time as we headed to the room where Elarian was. The man I had just freed from his prison walked behind us, two guards keeping him in line with a heavy chain around his neck.“I don’t have a choice, Jonathan. I am not about to let my Luna and child die when I can get him to do whatever I want.”“Letting him out of his cell was a bad decision, Aeros,” Jonathan continued to complain. It was obvious he wasn’t at ease with any of this. I wasn’t either, but I had no other option.“He could be playing you. This could be his plan—to escape and do something much worse than before.”“Calm down, Jonathan. Look behind you—the man is in chains. What could he possibly do in such heavy chains with guards around him?” I asked, trying to pacify him. Although it worked temporarily, he was still visibly agitated.I was the first to walk in

Author’s POV.“Beta Jonathan and a few guards were going with him. I had no idea where they were heading, but I just knew they would be leaving together. I overheard them in the room,” the young maid said to Blair as she paced the length of the maid’s room in the servants’ quarters.She had been unable to leave the mansion since the accident had happened because Aeros had tightened the security and refused to let anyone leave or enter the mansion.Trying to leave then would have meant risking being caught by the guards, especially since she was too weak to cast any spell to keep herself hidden. She had to rely on the maid to hide her in her quarters and bide her time.As expected, Aeros had hurried down to her lover, and just as she had planned, he had let him step out of where he had locked him up all those years. There was no better time to strike than that moment.So, she quietly got dressed as a maid and followed the young maid out of the room. No one noticed because everyone was

AEROS “We just found the healer in the garage. She was knocked out cold and almost naked,” one of the guards reported to me, and I stood up sharply from my position beside Elarian on her bed.Her condition still had not changed, she was still unconscious and as the seconds ticked by without any sign of Jonathan, I grew restless. I had sent one of the guards to keep watch and inform me as soon as they were in sight.But hearing that they had found the healer unconscious in the garage left me confused. Did that mean Jonathan had left without her? But why knock her out? He could have just said he didn’t want her to go with them.I trusted Jonathan, and I knew he would never do something like that without my permission. So, either there was a misunderstanding, or something was wrong.I rose to my feet and was about to turn to face the guard in the room when a sharp pain shot through my head. I hissed in pain, dropping a hand onto the bed to steady myself.“Aeros, Aeros, there is… Help!”

The Alpha's Pet/DIAMONDLEE

Author’s POV.As soon as the car hit the water, Kaiden lost his ability to keep the shield up, and Blair slammed her head hard against the window, causing her to pass out on the spot. The car sank faster than it should have, and before Kaiden realized what was happening, he was almost out of breath and completely submerged.Quickly, he forced a door open with his magic and swam out of the car, but he had barely gone far when he remembered that Blair was still lying unconscious in the sinking vehicle.He turned around and began swimming back toward her, but he heard movement and glanced up to see Jonathan dive into the water in search of them. He stopped swimming toward the car immediately and instead started looking around for a way to escape, to get as far away from Jonathan as possible.He knew what was going to happen if they found her, but he didn’t care. He had sacrificed more than enough for Blair. She had left him to rot in Aeros’s dungeons, and he could not afford to be locked

AEROS Blair.It was really Blair.How? When did she…? How did she…?"She is not the Blair you know," Jonathan’s words echoed in my mind. I was confused and I couldn’t understand what he meant. Unless my eyes were deceiving me, she was right here in front of me and it was clear I wasn’t the only one who could see her.Kaiden was the one who had killed Blair or so I thought. So what Jonathan was saying couldn’t possibly be true.“I don’t know what’s going on either. I almost drowned… I had no idea Kaiden was in the car. I was only trying to get back to you,” she said, her voice cracking. She looked so pale that I assumed she might collapse any moment.“Get a room ready and call the healer,” I called out, and one of the guards rushed forward to follow my orders. I lifted her into my arms and started to follow, but Jonathan stepped in front of me, blocking my path.“Are you kidding me right now?” he yelled angrily. “Didn’t you hear what I just said? She’s not the Blair we know! Think, no
