LOGINEira pushed Kael away with all her might. How could another man kiss her—and not her fiancé—on her wedding day? Of course, Eira felt she had betrayed Lucas.“Eira, you’ll get better if I love you, won’t you?” Kael whispered, trying to pull Eira back into his arms.But Eira immediately stood up and moved away, not wanting Kael to touch her any further.Her chest grew tighter as she didn’t know what Kael’s true intentions were. Sometimes he was kind and would suddenly confess his love, then drastically change into someone who seemed to be eagerly awaiting the ruin of her life.Eira thought it was all over because fate had already decided that Lucas would be her husband. Yet Kael acted like a madman abandoned by the woman he loved—a stark contrast to the hateful words he always hurled at her.“Kael, my event is about to start. Can’t you please leave this room?” Eira asked, her voice trembling.She really had to restrain herself from showing her suffering due to the sudden bout of hanahak
Kael’s eyes swept across every corner of the castle, which had been so beautifully decorated to celebrate Lucas and Eira’s wedding. So many guests attended, ranging from the upper classes to the lower classes.Everyone had received an invitation. Although he wasn’t the prince designated to inherit the throne as leader of the Valerius Clan, Lucas was still a highly respected member of the family.“Welcome, Mr. Kael,” a servant greeted Kael as he handed him a glass of drink to enjoy before watching the bride and groom emerge from their room to exchange their sacred vows as fated mates to be together.Kael couldn’t imagine Eira becoming another man’s wife. He couldn’t fathom what his life would be like if Eira were with Lucas—not to mention that Eira might not even survive into the future, having already surrendered her soul to the Moon Goddess for Kael’s sake.A sharp pang of sorrow pierced Kael’s chest. He felt regret, confusion, and disappointment that this second chance might not kee
Kael gripped Alice’s shoulders tightly—hoping she would remember even a little of what had happened between them so that she could convince him that Eira’s husband was Kael, not Lucas.“You have to remember, Alice! We had sex at the hotel, and you brought my belt and tie back to my house after that. You have to remember!” he said, his voice heavy with menace.Alice could only wince in pain from Kael’s powerful grip. She never expected a man whose name was so well-known and respected to suddenly do such a terrible thing to her—especially since she didn’t even understand what the Alpha was talking about.His glowing red eyes were enough to terrify Alice. But still, she couldn’t let a stranger accuse her of doing something indecent with a man who had a good reputation throughout the city.“Let me go!” Alice forcefully shook Kael’s hand off her shoulder. “This is harassment, sir!”Kael froze. Harassment? He’d only asked Alice to recall what they’d once done together. Even though so many d
“Even in another life, let’s stay together,” Lucas said as he stroked Eira’s gravestone.In another corner, Kael, who had heard this, suddenly froze, trying to process what he had just heard—as if it were merely a dream. He felt a strange sensation he couldn’t explain upon realizing that, in this life, Eira had suddenly become Lucas' wife.He understood. He understood because he had seen what happened in the past—a time when he should have had a second chance to fix everything, but which instead ended with the realization that Eira’s fated mate wasn’t him, but Lucas.But his mind seemed to reject what he understood. He hated seeing Lucas, who had come as a husband who loved his wife so deeply, even after she was gone.“Thank you for once being a part of my life. I promise I’ll find you in another life and become your husband—”“But Eira’s husband is me.” Kael couldn’t stand what he was hearing, so he decided to reveal himself.Lucas turned, startled by Kael’s voice—his older brother,
Kael ran out of the café toward Eira’s grave, paying no attention to his surroundings. This time, it wasn’t to visit Eira, but to find the Goddess of Death—Seraphim. There was too much he didn’t understand; it was as if everything had changed, as if Kael were losing his sanity.Everything that was happening was a far cry from what he wanted. He wanted Eira to remain his destined partner, but the past he had revisited time and time had changed her.Unfortunately, it was Lucas who had become Eira’s destined partner.“Goddess Seraphim, come out! Show yourself before me!” he shouted at the cemetery.A thunderous roar echoed from the sky, bringing rain that had started as mere drizzles—now turning into a torrential downpour that drenched the earth and Kael’s increasingly shattered world.“SERAPHIM!” Kael’s emotions reached a fever pitch.He staggered toward Eira’s grave. His legs gave out, and he knelt before Eira’s grave, sobbing uncontrollably. He was truly in a state of confusion he cou
The Alpha Princes stood in a circle around the pond, perfectly aligned in a straight line beneath the red glow of the blood-red full moon. Following the instructions of a trusted fortune-teller, they scattered moonflower petals into the pond just as the castle clock struck—exactly at midnight.“Dip your pinky fingers into the water,” said Snag the Seer.They all did so in unison. It wouldn’t immediately reveal to whom the red thread of their fated mates was connected. The process was quite long and took place in turns.The smile on Kael’s face didn’t fade at all. His patience, usually as thin as tissue paper, now made waiting even three hours seem like nothing to him if the result was the same as before.Eira’s face and name were connected to his red thread.“Helena Wichack.” One of them lifted her finger from the water after seeing the name and face of her destined partner.One by one, they began to step back from the pool, making Kael feel a little panicked because his hadn’t appear
