Darius stepped closer and frowned. “Let me see.” Lucienne handed him the letter without protest. Darius read it once, then again, his brows knitting together. Suddenly, his expression changed. He flipped through the bundle before looking up. “Where are mine?” he asked quietly.Lucienne looked at him in confusion. “What do you mean?” Darius searched through the remaining letters himself, his movements becoming faster with every passing second. “These are all addressed to you.” He held one up. “‘To my son, Lucienne.’” He grabbed another. “This one too.” His voice dropped. “They’re all for you.”Silence settled over the room.Darius let out a bitter laugh. “So even after leaving… Father still remembered only one son.” He placed the letters back onto the table with more force than he intended. “I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.”“Darius…” Lucienne began.“No.” Darius shook his head, forcing a smile that failed to hide the hurt in his eyes. “It’s fine.” He looked away. “I spent years con

Luna Alara’s confession shattered the silence.Lucienne stared at her as though he had forgotten how to breathe. “You… asked him to leave?” His voice was barely above a whisper.Luna Alara slowly nodded, tears slipping down her face. “I begged him.” She looked at the floor, unable to meet his eyes. Darius stepped fully into the room, his expression filled with disbelief. “None of this makes sense.” He looked from Luna Alara to Lucienne. “Father loved this kingdom. He would never abandon his sons without a reason.”“There was a reason,” Luna Alara replied, her voice breaking. “One terrible reason.”Lucienne clenched his fists. “Then tell me.” His eyes burned with years of unanswered questions. “I’ve spent my entire life believing my father chose this kingdom over us.” He took another step closer. “Don’t stop now.”Luna Alara walked to the window, her shoulders trembling. “The night before he disappeared, the High Elder came to us with a prophecy.” She closed her eyes. “He said if your

Seraphine read the sentence over and over until the words blurred before her eyes. Her fingers tightened around the note. “What happened to Lucienne’s father?” she whispered. “Mother… what have you been hiding from all of us?”She hurried to the cell door and called for the guard. “I need to see Luna Alara.” The guard shook his head immediately. “I’m sorry, Lady Seraphine. No visitors without the Alpha’s permission.” Seraphine gripped the iron bars. “Then tell Lucienne it’s about his father.” The guard hesitated but eventually nodded before walking away.Meanwhile, Selena and Lucienne remained on the balcony, watching the clouds drift across the morning sky. Selena leaned against the stone railing. “Do you ever wish life had been normal?” Lucienne smiled sadly. “I wouldn’t have met you.” She laughed softly. “You always know how to change the subject.” “Only when the subject makes you sad.”A servant approached and bowed respectfully. “Alpha, the council requests your presence this aft

Lucienne and Selena walked out of the tower in silence. Just before they reached the staircase, Lucienne paused beside one of the Bloodfang guards. “Make sure Lady Seraphine eats,” he said quietly. “If she refuses, stay with her until she does.” The guard bowed. “Yes, Alpha.” Selena looked at him with surprise. “After everything she’s done… you’re still worried about her?” Lucienne met her eyes. “She’s paying for her mistakes already. I won’t let revenge become another one.”They continued toward the dining hall. Selena remained unusually quiet until Lucienne gently nudged her shoulder. “You’re thinking too much again.” She sighed. “I don’t know how to stop.” He smiled faintly. “Then let me carry some of those thoughts.” She laughed softly. “You’re terrible at saying comforting things.” “I know,” he admitted. “But somehow you still understand me.”The doors to the dining hall opened, revealing a long table already prepared. Darius was seated alone, absently turning a spoon between his

Selena rested her forehead against Lucienne’s, her cheeks still warm from the kiss. Neither of them spoke for a while. The silence between them no longer felt awkward. It felt safe.Lucienne smiled softly. “You know… when I first met you, I thought you hated me.” Selena let out a quiet laugh. “I did.” He raised an eyebrow. “You admit it?” She nodded. “You were cold, arrogant… and you believed everyone except me.” He winced dramatically. “That sounds terrible.” “It was.”He reached for her hand beneath the blanket. “Then thank you… for giving me another chance.” Selena looked down at their intertwined fingers. “Don’t waste it.” “I won’t,” he promised.Outside, the rain continued tapping gently against the windows. The palace had finally grown quiet after days of chaos. For the first time since the mate ceremony, neither of them felt the need to stay on guard every second.Lucienne pulled the blanket a little higher over her shoulders. “Get some sleep.” Selena looked at him. “Will you s

Selena stopped outside the iron door. Two Bloodfang guards stepped aside as Lucienne unlocked the cell. The heavy door creaked open, revealing Seraphine sitting quietly by the narrow window. She looked up and smiled faintly.Selena stepped inside alone. “Too late for what?” Seraphine tilted her head. “For the truth.” She laughed bitterly. “Do you really think I’m the one pulling every string? I was only a piece on someone else’s board.” Selena’s heart skipped. “Who are they?” Seraphine slowly looked away. “If I tell you… they’ll kill me.”“You’ve already destroyed my life,” Selena whispered. “At least tell me why.” Seraphine closed her eyes. “Because I hated you. Every time Mother looked at you, every time Lucienne chose you, every time Darius defended you… it felt like everything meant for me was slipping away.” Tears rolled down her cheeks. “But I never wanted this to become murder.”Selena stood silently for a long moment. “Who gave you the vial?” Seraphine hesitated. “I never saw
