เข้าสู่ระบบATHENA…..The moment we returned to the pack house, I walked straight to my room without looking back. That woman, even after all these years she still had the power to disturb everything.My jaw tightened as I shut the door behind me. The memory of Kenji clinging to Melania made my mood sour. When he refused to come to me. His mother. How dare he? I will teach him a lesson he will never forget and will never dare to repeat this again.My nails dug into my palms. “Useless child.” I muttered under my breath.Why did he need to react like this in front of Melania? Why her…out of everyone? A strange unease crept into my chest. No. No, this wasn’t right.This shouldn’t be happening. I have to do something to keep Kenji away from Melania. She once snatched Cyrus from me. This time I won't let her do the same with Kenji. And I will make sure of it.I walked toward the mirror, staring at my reflection. I looked just perfect. Composed and untouchable. That’s what I had built. That’s what I e
RAYMOND….“What happened, Melania?” The moment I heard her scream, I rushed to her room without a second thought.She was sitting upright on the bed, her chest rising and falling rapidly, strands of her hair clinging to her damp skin. Fear was vividly visible in her eyes.I quickly poured a glass of water from the bedside table and handed it to her.“Here, drink this.”Her hands trembled slightly as she took the glass from me. She brought it to her lips and drank slowly, as if trying to steady herself with each sip.I sat beside her, watching her closely.“What happened?” I asked again, my voice softer this time. “Was it a nightmare?”She didn’t answer immediately instead, she stared ahead, her gaze unfocused, like she was still trapped somewhere between sleep and reality.After a few seconds, she nodded faintly.“Yes…” she whispered.I frowned slightly. “What did you see? Was it the same dream?” I asked gently.It wasn't the first time that she woke up screaming. .She often has night
MELANIA…..“That boy Kenji seemed very much attached to you.” Raymond said. We were sitting in the car on our way back home. The city lights passed by in a blur outside the window, casting fleeting shadows inside the vehicle.Elisa was sleeping peacefully in my lap, her tiny fingers curled into the fabric of my dress. I gently brushed a strand of hair away from her face, my gaze lingering on her for a moment longer than necessary.“He was just scared,” I replied calmly. “Children tend to cling to whoever makes them feel safe.”Raymond didn't say anything but I could feel his gaze fix on me as if he was studying me.“It was strange,” Raymond said after a moment. “Why would Alpha Cyrus’s son be so attached to you? Something about this doesn’t sit right with me.”I didn’t respond immediately.My fingers continued to move gently through Elisa’s hair as she slept peacefully in my lap.“And I noticed something else,” he added, his tone more serious now. “The boy, he’s afraid of his mother.
CYRUS…Kenji stayed unusually quiet in my arms as I walked back into the grand hall. Usually he would hide his face on my shoulder whenever we were surrounded by so many strangers, but tonight he kept looking behind me toward the garden. As if he had left something important there. Or someone.“What happened out there?” Athena’s irritated voice cut through my thoughts as she caught up with us.“Nothing,” I replied shortly. Her eyes narrowed.“Then why was he clinging to her like that?” she asked, her tone sharp. “It was embarrassing.”I stopped walking and looked at her. “He’s a child, Athena.”“And she’s your ex-wife. I don't want my son around that woman.” she snapped quietly.I clenched my jaw. “This isn’t the place.”Athena scoffed but said nothing more.Kenji shifted in my arms then, his small fingers gripping my suit jacket.I glanced down at him. “You okay, buddy?”He didn’t answer. He rarely does these days. But his eyes were still searching the crowd. A strange uneasiness se
CYRUS…..I was rooted to the spot as my eyes landed on her.Melania.Six years.Six long years had passed since the last time I saw her, yet the sight of her still managed to steal the air from my lungs. She had changed. So much that for a moment I wondered if this was truly the same woman I once knew.The light in her eyes was gone.There was a time when her eyes used to sparkle with life, mischievous, warm, full of fire. Looking at them had always felt like standing under the warmth of the sun.Now there was nothing like that.Those same eyes held only coldness.Sharp.Distant.Untouchable.She used to look like sunshine itself, bright, lively, impossible to ignore. An angel who filled every room with her presence. But the woman standing in front of me now was different.She looked powerful.Composed.Untouchable.Like a queen carved from ice.And somehow…That change hurt far more than I expected. Because I knew, deep down, that the girl she used to be had disappeared long ago. An
MELANIA…..“Mama, I want to play with the kids. Can I?” Elisa asked, her bright eyes already scanning the garden where laughter and excited shouts echoed from the other children.“Sure,” I replied, smoothing down the front of her little dress. “But I will take you there.” Elisa nodded obediently and slipped her small hand into mine.The palace garden was beautifully decorated for the celebration. Soft lights hung from the trees, and the air carried the sweet scent of blooming roses. In one corner, several children were running around and playing games while a few attendants kept an eye on them from a distance.As soon as we approached, Elisa’s grip loosened. “Go on,” I said with a small smile.She didn’t need to be told twice. My little whirlwind ran toward the children with her usual boundless energy.I stood a few steps away, watching her.But the peaceful moment didn’t last long.Suddenly, Elisa stopped running. Her small brows knitted together as she looked toward the far side of
MELANIA…..“Alpha, your uncle came to visit you. He's waiting outside the door.” Fabio, my bodyguard, stepped into my study to inform me.Uncle Matteo!A chill ran down my spine. He had been on my suspect list after the car attack, but the evidence had cleared him. But It doesn't mean that he would
MELANIA…..“Where are you going, my Queen?”I froze mid-motion, the towel still wrapped around my damp hair. I turned toward the door only to find Raymond standing there, arms crossed, concern etched across his face.I frowned. “Why didn’t you knock?” I asked, deliberately ignoring his question.“I
RAYMOND…..Night stretched endlessly. I stood by the window of my room in the palace, the city lights far below blurring into something distant and unimportant. I hadn’t moved in hours. I hadn't slept. Hadn’t even tried. I was waiting for Melania’s call. I had talked to Adriel. He told me Melania c
MELANIA….“I did all this because I love you, Melania.”The words hit me like a slap.I stared at him, my mind refusing to process what he had just said.“You… love me?” I repeated slowly, as if saying it aloud would make it make sense.Raymond didn’t look away. He didn’t smile. He didn’t soften it
