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
Omniscient POVLucas remained beneath the cherry tree long after Darius and Isabella disappeared from sight.The laughter from the banquet echoed faintly across the gardens, but it sounded distant now, as though it belonged to another world.His world had gone silent. He leaned back against the trunk and closed his eyes."So this is what losing feels like..."A bitter smile crossed his lips.Even though he never had the opportunity to confess and she never turned him down, it still hurt more than any wound he had ever received in battle.He lowered his head into his hands."I really was too late.""No,” a feminine voice interrupted the silence. "You were simply born second."Lucas looked up.Standing a few steps away was Princess Beatrice. Isabella’s sister. Unlike her older sister, Beatrice's smile carried something sharp—something calculating.Lucas immediately rose up his feet, sniffing back the tears that were threatening to roll down his eyes."I didn't realize you were here.""
Omniscient POV Lucas didn't remember how the welcoming ceremony ended. He was lost in thoughts throughout the whole laughter, music, and congratulatory speeches. Everything after Oliver's announcement became nothing more than a meaningless noise. His eyes remained fixed on Isabella. She stood beside Darius, smiling politely as the Elders welcomed her into Silverfang. She looked happy, or perhaps, she was simply being respectful. Lucas couldn't tell. For years, he had imagined countless ways their union would happen. He had imagined walking up to her, confessing everything and telling her how she had unknowingly become the reason he kept moving forward whenever life became unbearable. Never for once had he imagined standing among the crowd while another man held her hand. And that other man wasn’t a stranger. It was his brother. "Lucas," a voice called softly beside him, pulling him out of his traumatizing thoughts. He blinked, instantly looking up. Emma stood beside him, he
Omniscient POV Time refused to stand still. Seasons changed. Children became men, and old wounds learned to hide beneath forced smiles. Lucas eventually stopped trying. He stopped waiting outside his father's study after every training session, hoping to hear a single word of praise. He stopped looking toward the audience whenever he sparred, hoping Alpha Oliver would finally acknowledge him. He stopped asking himself what he had done wrong because, after years of disappointment, he had finally accepted the truth. His father simply didn't love him. At first, the realization broke him. But over time, he found a strange kind of peace. If he couldn't have his father's love, then perhaps he didn't need it. He still had his mother, who never treated him any differently from Darius. She celebrated every achievement, comforted every disappointment and constantly reminded him that he was enough. Lucas eventually stopped expecting anything from his father. Then, his heart found som

Only exhaustion.His gaze slowly shifted toward the newborn in the healer's arms.His son.Lucas.The tiny baby continued crying, completely unaware that his mother had died moments after bringing him into the world.Oliver's jaw tightened.He couldn't look at him. Not for long.Because every time he did, he remembered how Lucas had come into existence.He remembered Alicia's betrayal. He remembered Emma's tears. He remembered the years of lies.And somehow, the child became a painful reminder of everything he wanted to forget.The healer stepped forward cautiously."Alpha..."Oliver immediately turned toward him."Not a word.
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

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,
