KIERAN'S POV:I screamed and tried to go back to take my son, but it was too late. “No!” I roared, wings thrashing as I fought against the force of the tunnel. “Not now! Not without him.Manuel.My heart cracked. My roar shook the sky. “Manuel! Don’t you dare, don’t you dare leave me!”But the tunnel has already swallowed me whole, dragging me, Jade, and Metatron’s corpse into its violet force I fought, and at the same time clawed at the light, desperate to tear it apart, to break free, to stay in the past world where my son is trapped.And then, just before the world dissolved, clarity struck.This was all my fault. Had it been I knew that my wish would come with a price, I wouldn't have made any wish at all.My boy. My son. My heart ached for him.It seems Manuel knew about the consequences as well that's why he chose to stay back.Manuel had sacrificed himself to remain in the past, so I, Jade, and Metatron’s body could be pulled back to where we belonged, the modern world.The l

KIERAN'S POV:Darkness swallowed me whole.I opened my eyes to find myself back in the forest of my soul. The air was heavy, the trees shrouded in mist. The brook that usually glimmered was black as ink.And they were waiting.The dragon perched on a cliff, wings furled, eyes blazing like molten gold. He didn’t even look at me. The demon beast, small and sharp, crouched on a branch above, tail flicking, expression twisted in disgust. He turned his back, refusing to meet my gaze.Only the wolf stood before me, silver fur shimmering faintly in the dim light. His amber eyes were colder than winter.“You fool,” the wolf growled, his voice echoing through the forest. “You threw yourself under the blade for a girl who would let you bleed out on the stones without blinking.”Shame scorched me. “She’s… she’s lost. Twisted. But she can be saved.”The wolf bared his teeth. “And what of the kingdom? What of your son? You failed. You let chaos consume everything while you clung to her shadow.”“B

KIERAN'S POV:All eyes were on me. Witches. Wizards. Dragons. Even Jade as well. I felt the weight of Greg’s threat pressing against my chest like iron chains. Manuel’s small face flashed in my mind, his laughter, his curious questions, the way his tiny hand used to grip mine. If Greg killed him…I forced myself to breathe, to keep my fury from spilling out. The beasts inside me howled for defiance, but I had no choice. My son’s life came first.I stepped forward, my voice carrying across the courtyard.“The decree… the one Metatron made before his death…” My throat tightened, the words like poison on my tongue. “…was not real. It was a false decree.”A shocked gasp rippled through the crowd. Even Jade tilted her head, scarlet eyes narrowing in something between suspicion and amusement.Greg, of course, rejoiced over it. He clapped his hands together, smiling wide for the citizens. “There you have it!” he declared. “Even Kieran, admits the truth. The seal belongs with me, and I alone

KIERAN’S POV:“What do you mean by you are not my brother, Stefan?". Melanie asked.“Why don't you call your mate here, let's resolve this misunderstanding?". I said to her and just then Luis stepped out."Luis, what are you doing here?”. Melanie asked Luis who knelt down before her to beg."Please forgive me, I was the one with you all along”. Luis said with a broken voice."I don't understand what you mean at all”. Melanie said with an irritated look."I mean I was the one who made love to you, and also the one who you got married to”. Luis said to Melanie who froze in shock."Melanie, I am the real Jackson, the demon lord”. I said to her then transformed to my real self."I used him as a tool to distract you. This wasn't my fault. After all, Luis loves you dearly, so it is only fair if you reciprocate his love"."Jackson, I will ruin you, just the way I ruined your mate. Mark my words”. Melanie threatened me. "My real name is Kieran, so call me Kieran from now henceforth. I am the

KIERAN'S POV:The mountains echoed with Jade’s cruel laughter long after she vanished with Melanie, leaving me broken, stunned, and furious all at once. My chest ached where her touch had pushed me away, but worse than the pain was the emptiness, like she had ripped out the part of me that still believed in her.That was when the call came.A messenger hawk landed on the rock before me, carrying a scroll marked with blood-red wax. My heart dropped the moment I saw the seal. Greg.I broke it open with trembling fingers, eyes racing over the words.Kieran,Your son Manuel is in my custody. If you ever want to see him alive again, bring me the seal. No games. No delays. Choose your son, or your pride.I gripped the parchment so tightly my knuckles whitened. Manuel. My boy. The one light I had left.“Damn you, Greg,” I hissed, fury burning in my throat.But I didn’t know what to do. I had no seal to give, and even if I did… would handing it over only doom the land further? Desperation cl

KIERAN'S POV:Just then, the last stone disappeared and then I opened my eyes, but what I saw shocked me to my bones.Metatron lay sprawled across the dungeon, his chest torn open, his once-great aura fading into nothing. And standing over him, blade dripping with crimson, was Greg, Jade’s uncle. His smile was twisted, cruel, and utterly unrepentant.“No…” My voice broke in my throat. My body locked, every muscle trembling.And then I heard her.“Father!” Jade’s scream split the air, raw and shattering. She rushed forward, but stopped halfway, knees buckling as if the weight of the world had crashed onto her shoulders. Her golden eyes, so full of light, so fierce, dimmed in an instant. Her hands shook. Her lips parted soundlessly, again and again, until she simply… broke.Her body collapsed against mine when I caught her. She was breathing, but her spirit wasn’t there, her gaze glassy, her lips trembling, as if she had retreated into some unreachable corner of her mind.“No, Jade. St

JACOB'S POV:My heart started loving Tracy since the very first time I set my eyes on her. When she told me her story, I knew I still had the chance to pursue her.But something came up that needed me to travel. My father was a commander and it has always been my dream to take after him.My father stepped down and handed the power over to me. I had to travel to organize everything.But I didn't expect that we would be attacked. We faced a major war that lasted for so long.We made a truce and that was when the war ceased. I had plans to come back to Folks city. That was when I met Dante who was accusing me of strange things.But when he mentioned that he saw me some days back, I knew something was definitely wrongI investigated the matter and found that someone was impersonating me.I had to rush back to Folks city to let Tracy know. And I am grateful that we made it on time before the wedding was concluded.She is single again and I am ready to chase her and prove my love to her.

TRACY'S POV:Someone called me anonymously on my phone."Hi Tracy, this is Jacob. Can we please talk about everything that has happened so far?”"I do not have that time, Jacob. I have more important things to do than sit down and talk about the past with you." After responding to Jacob, I hung up the phone.Jacob, the imposter, has been put in prison. Right now, I want to ensure that Dante does not take my biological son away from me.I went back home. I needed to set up Alvin's clone for tomorrow.I entered my private, hidden basement."You are finally back; do you have any missions for me?" Alvin's clone asked me cheerfully. Alvin's clone is extremely intelligent and always eager to go on a mission and deliver positive results to his master. "Yeah, we have a mission, and it may require you to stay away from the basement for a very long time." I informed him."Is it Dante again?" He inquired with curiosity. Indeed, he is aware that my son is his biological child, and he intends t

DANTE'S POV:“Did you give me a fake DNA result the last time?”. I called the doctor who did the DNA test.“Why would I change the test? I thought you trusted me? If you don't believe me, then carry out the test in another hospital”.This isn't the doctor's fault. Tracy must have done something to the test but how did she do it? I made sure that it was under twenty four hours of surveillance.“Alright, I am sorry it's just that the boy in question is really my son”. I ended the call.Tracy, at all costs, I will get you and my son back.My phone rang and when I checked the caller ID, my mood turned sour.“Dante, where are you?”. Ava asked as I reluctantly picked up her call.“I am in a place that you are not”. I answered her.“Dante, that's not an answer though but anyways, our unborn baby wants you back home”. “What baby? The one you faked because you wanted my attention? If you are really pregnant, then do a pregnancy test and also paternity test, until these two things are confirme

TRACY'S POV:This is what I always get when I try to give love a chance. I get betrayed.It's really so funny that I have all the wealth in the works but no love. I understand it now, no one can ever have it all.I live for my son but he doesn't even want me in his life. He is my weakness and my strength as well. “Tracy please wait!”. I need not turn to know who was chasing after me.Lucas has ruined everything for me. Now Dante won't rest until he takes his son away from me.But I won't let him take my son away from me that easily. If it gets out of hand, I will use my son's clone and send my real son abroad where Dante will never see him.“Tracy please hold on, we have a lot to discuss”.“What exactly do you want to discuss with me Mr Dante?”. I turned to face him with my eyebrows raised.“Alvin is my son right?”.“Even if he is your son, you will never take him away from me. I single handedly raised him while you were with another woman. You have no right to call him your son bec

DANTE'S POV:“Wait!....I object to this wedding”. I said as I entered the venue where Tracy was about to get married to an imposter.“What's going on here?”. Tracy asked in confusion. “Here is the real Jacob. The one with you is an imposter”. I said with my index finger pointing towards the fake Jacob.“That's a lie, how can you call me an imposter just like that?”. The fake Jacob asked.“Because you are an imposter”. I replied.“Jacob, I remember Sophia saying you are not whom I think you are. What's going on?”. Tracy faced the fake Jacob.“I can't believe that you could easily believe an imposter over me. He is the imposter. This man just brought this imposter in order to tear us apart”. He replied to Tracy.I poked the Jacob that I brought for him to say something. “Tracy, I am the real Jacob. And I can prove it”. He turned his back and revealed a dragon tattoo on his back.“You once admired this tattoo and wanted one as well but I told you that instead of a dragon tattoo, I pref

JACOB'S POV:I see doubt on Tracy's face but I need to make her believe me instead of Sophia.“Tracy, don't listen to a word that she says. She just wants to tear us apart”. I tried to explain to Tracy who stared at me with a neutral facial expression. “You knew all of these but you never said anything Jacob, you knew she had all these plans but you never said anything”. Said Tracy with a look of disappointment.“I didn't do anything because I never found out about her true intentions until recently. I never knew she was this evil. She was so innocent when she was little, I thought she was still the innocent Sophia that I knew”. I said with a sad facial expression in order to make Tracy believe me.“Tracy, my dear. Do you doubt Jacob? You don't have to believe that insane girl over Jacob, and we had a deal before and that's what we should be discussing right now”. Tracy's father said as he looked back at the detectives.“Father, I told you that I will settle this myself. They will re
