SCARLETT'S POV

My heart seemed to stop the moment Rowan's words reached me. For several seconds, I could not breathe properly, and I could barely hear anything beyond the pounding in my ears. Elaine knew who Charles's real father was, and somehow, she had managed to keep that knowledge hidden all this time.

“How could Elaine possibly know something that only a handful of people were ever supposed to know, Rowan?” I demanded, struggling to keep my voice steady as I stared at him across the table

    SCARLETT'S POVThe moment Jordan disappeared beyond the palace gates, I forced myself to stop watching the road and turned toward the courtyard. Fear was clawing at my chest, but I couldn't afford to let it control me. Jordan had trusted me with the palace, and I intended to prove that trust wasn't misplaced.The commanders gathered around me as another war horn sounded from the northern hills. I could see uncertainty in their faces, but nobody questioned why I was standing where Jordan usually stood. I straightened my shoulders and reminded myself that this kingdom was mine too.“Seal the inner gates and double the guards around the nursery,” I ordered calmly, pointing toward the eastern corridor. “Nobody enters Charles's wing without my permission, regardless of their rank. I also want messengers stationed at every tower so I know exactly what happens outside these walls.”The first report arrived less than ten minutes later. The enemy had breached the outer wall, and several warrio

    JORDAN'S POVThe war horn sounded before sunrise, shaking the palace walls hard enough to wake every warrior stationed inside the capital. I was already dressed when the first messenger reached my chambers, carrying news that confirmed my worst suspicion. Cassian's remaining supporters had gathered beyond the northern border, and they were preparing to attack.I read the report twice, studying every detail before looking toward the commander standing before me. The rebels were no longer trying to negotiate with the council or rescue Cassian quietly. They knew his conspiracy was collapsing, and they believed killing me before the trial would destroy the evidence against them.“How many warriors are outside the capital?” I asked, keeping my voice controlled as I folded the report between my fingers. “And how long before they reach our gates?” I needed numbers, not rumors, because whatever happened next would depend on how quickly we understood the enemy approaching us.The commander bow

    JORDAN'S POVI didn't need time to think about Scarlett's question because I had already answered it for myself long before she found the courage to ask. I tightened my fingers around hers and looked directly into her eyes, determined to make sure she understood exactly what I meant.“I would choose you,” I told her without hesitation, my voice steady as I held her gaze. “Even if we had met somewhere completely different, without a kingdom behind me, without a crown on my head, and without a contract forcing us into the same room.”Scarlett stared at me silently, and I could see how badly she wanted to believe my words while another part of her was still waiting for me to give her a reason not to. I understood that hesitation because trust wasn't something she could rebuild overnight.“I would still choose you if you were just Scarlett,” I continued, gently brushing my thumb across the back of her hand. “I wouldn't care whether you had a title or whether anyone thought you were worthy

    SCARLETT'S POVI stood completely still after Jordan's confession, staring at him as though I had suddenly forgotten how to understand the man in front of me. The words kept repeating inside my head, especially the part where he admitted the contract was the only thing he regretted.I had spent so long convincing myself that our marriage was nothing more than an arrangement that hearing him reject that idea made my chest tighten. I wanted to believe him immediately, but years of disappointment had taught me to question anything that sounded too good to be true.“What exactly do you mean by that?” I asked carefully, searching his face for hesitation. “You said the contract is the only thing you regret, but Jordan, that contract is the reason we are standing here together. Without it, none of this would have happened.”Jordan remained quiet for a moment, and I watched his expression soften as though he was choosing his next words carefully. He stepped closer before answering, refusing t

    JORDAN'S POVI broke the seal slowly, already expecting something terrible, but nothing prepared me for what I found inside. The letter contained names, agreements, payment records, and detailed plans surrounding Charles. Cassian had not simply wanted my throne. He had planned to use my son to control the kingdom.My eyes moved across the first page, and my jaw tightened when I saw references to several outside packs. Cassian had been building alliances long before anyone suspected him. If I had fallen, those packs were prepared to recognize him as the kingdom's new ruler.The next pages were worse because they revealed exactly how Charles was supposed to become leverage. Cassian intended to use the threat against my son to force the council and loyal packs into surrendering authority. He had planned everything around fear, believing nobody would risk Charles's life.I felt my fingers tighten around the letter as anger settled heavily inside me. Charles was a child. My son had never a

  • Curvy Queen by Contract - Luna by Fate   92

    JORDAN'S POVThe moment Elaine finished speaking, every thought about the stolen documents and political conspiracy disappeared from my mind. Cassian could want the throne, the kingdom, or my life, but wanting Charles changed everything. My son was no longer simply caught inside the conflict. He had become the target.I turned toward the guards immediately, forcing my voice to remain steady despite the anger burning through me. “Get to the palace now and secure Charles,” I ordered sharply, pointing toward the nearest warriors. “Nobody approaches him without my permission, and anyone who attempts to enter his chambers is to be stopped immediately.”Scarlett moved closer to me, her expression filled with fear she was trying desperately to hide. I could see her fighting the urge to run straight back to our son. I reached for her hand and squeezed it, silently promising her that Charles would be protected.Elaine watched us carefully, realizing that Charles had become the one thing capabl
