MasukAria’s POV (Back to the present)“I’m sorry… I’m sorry,” Beatrice muttered repeatedly amid her sobs.My knees buckled, not because they were too weak but because I was shocked to the core by Beatrice’s confession.She seriously did all of that?For a few seconds, everywhere was silent. It was as if her confession had made everyone lose their sense of reasoning. Then suddenly…“Wow! This is just so unbelievable.”“So, Alpha Darius didn’t die due to an illness as it was announced?”“Although I wasn’t born then, I heard of the story. So, Luna Isabella was framed and accused of infidelity when she was in actuality taken advantage of by her brother-in-law?”The crowd erupted into whispers, but I could barely hear them.My eyes remained fixed on Beatrice. The woman who had spent years manipulating everyone around her was now on her knees, crying uncontrollably.My eyes slowly drifted towards Kael. His body was still, his face drained of color as though he had just seen a ghost.His lips par
Omniscient POVLife moved on or at least, that was what everyone in Silverfang told themselves.The celebrations ended, the whispers eventually faded and the Elders returned to their usual duties.The pack learned to live with the absence of Luna Isabella and the destined child. Everyone except Darius.He couldn't just let go of the woman he loved wholeheartedly like that. Days became weeks and weeks became months. And still yet, Darius never stopped searching for Isabella and their child. He searched the surrounding territories, sent warriors to neighboring packs, and questioned travelers, merchants, rogues and anyone who might have crossed paths with a woman carrying a newborn child.He refused to believe Isabella had simply disappeared.She was somewhere with their son. He just had to keep looking until he found them.Every morning, Darius left Silverfang before sunrise. And by evening, he returned exhausted and empty-handed."Did you find anything?" Lucas would occasionally ask.
Omniscient POV The great hall fell into a terrifying silence. Isabella stood in the center of the room, her newborn son held tightly against her chest. Darius remained beside her, his face pale with confusion. Lucas’ jaw dropped where he stood, his hand trembling by his side. Across the hall, the Elders exchanged grim looks. The anonymous letter was still held tightly by the chief elder. The chief elder finally spoke. "Luna Isabella, these accusations are extremely serious." Isabella swallowed, her lips trembling as they slowly parted open. "I know." "It has been claimed that you were unfaithful to Alpha Darius." Her heart raced wildly against her chest and her knees slowly began to their strength, threatening to give room for the ground beneath her. "That's… a lie,” Her answer came in broken whisper. "I have never betrayed my husband." Darius stepped closer and gently placed a hand on her shoulder. "Of course, she hasn't. My Luna will never betray me." The Elder looked
Omniscient POVIsabella never told Darius what happened that night. Not because she had forgiven Lucas or because she wanted to protect him.But because she couldn't bring herself to destroy Darius with the truth.She knew what kind of man he was. She knew what he would do if he discovered that his own brother had betrayed him on the night he married the woman he loved.There would be war and blood would be shed. And Isabella couldn't bear the thought of becoming the reason two brothers destroyed each other. So she buried the truth—deep inside herself and pretended nothing had happened.But Darius noticed that something had changed. His wife smiled less and she sometimes woke up from nightmares.There were nights when he reached for her and she instinctively moved away. Whenever he asked what was wrong, Isabella always gave him the same answer."I'm just tired."And because Darius loved her, he believed her. Or perhaps he simply wanted to.Meanwhile, Lucas was drowning in regret.He
Omniscient POVThe days leading up to the wedding passed exactly as planned.Darius and Isabella continued preparing for their wedding, completely unaware of what was happening behind the scenes.They attended fittings together, met with the Elders, and discussed the future they were about to build.Darius had never looked happier.Neither had Isabella.And every time Lucas saw them together, he had to remind himself why he had chosen this path. He had already crossed too many lines to turn back.But while Darius became closer to Isabella, Lucas became increasingly distant from Emma.Emma noticed.She tried speaking to him, tried asking what was wrong and even attempted to bring back their old traditions, but Lucas constantly found excuses to avoid her.One evening, Emma caught him leaving the dining hall."Lucas."He halted in his steps. ."Yes, Luna Emma?"Luna Emma? The name hit Emma hard. How did he go from calling her ‘mother’to Luna Emma?”"Luna Emma?” She repeated, her eyes pain
Omniscient POVLucas stared at the two people standing before him.His mother and his father. Except that nothing felt the same anymore.He looked at Emma, his eyes filled with disbelief."What did you just say? You're not my mother?”Emma's lips trembled."Lucas...""Don't,” he stepped backward."Don't call me that."Tears filled Emma's eyes. "I am your mother.""No!” Lucas shook his head violently. "You're not! I heard everything you both said.”"You stole my mother’s place!" His voice echoed through the corridor.Emma flinched."You took my mother's life!""Lucas, listen to me.""No!" He pointed at her with a trembling finger. "You became my mother even though she was alive!""Lucas...""You let me call you Mother!"Emma's tears finally spilled."That’s because I love you and you have always been my son.""You lied to me!""I didn't want to lie to you.""But you did!"Lucas turned toward Oliver."And you knew."Oliver's expression remained hard."Yes.""You both knew.""Yes.""For
Aria’s POV.I staggered down the stairs, my face pale like someone who life was slowly being drained out of. If I hadn’t heard everything myself... if someone had told me, I wouldn’t have believed Kael could do such a cruel thing.“Luna...” Silas, who was standing at the end of the stairs, called,

Kael’s POV “Shit!” I yelled, punching the table. “Alpha, please be calm,” Silas advised, watching as I paced the room. I ran my hand through my hair in rage, anger dominating every vessel in my body. “Did you see that, Silas? She not only disrespected me, but she also walked out on me!” I bl
