MasukAria’s POVI remained rooted to the spot, staring blankly ahead. My mind was still trying to catch up with everything that had happened.I glanced toward Kael. His siblings had gathered around him.“Kael, you have to do something.”“You can't just let them take Mother away.”“She needs you.”“Please, Kael. You are her son.”Jack and Cassandra kept talking, their voices overlapping. But Kael barely seemed to hear them. He simply stood there, staring at the doors through which their mother had disappeared.His face was pale, his eyes were distant, and he looked completely perplexed. For the first time, I wondered if even Kael knew what to do anymore.Not far away from him, Vivienne stood, equally stunned. She hadn't moved since the whole truth uncovering began. Her eyes remained fixed on the closed doors, her facial expression a mixture of disbelief and fear.I could hardly blame her. Her entire world had just been turned upside down. And if care wasn’t taken, she might never become the
Aria's POVThe hall instantly fell silent.“A DNA test?” Kael repeated.Silas nodded.“Yes. One that was conducted while Alpha Lucas was still alive.”Beatrice's face changed. For the first time since Silas had revealed himself, genuine fear flashed across her eyes.“No…”Silas looked directly at her.“Yes.”He opened the folder and removed a few sheets of paper.“It was as if Alpha Lucas knew a day like this would come. A day my identity would be questioned. So, he made sure I had proof that couldn't be manipulated.”Elder Marcus stepped forward.“Who conducted the test?”“A physician outside Silverfang,” Silas handed the documents to him. “Alpha Lucas personally provided his sample.”A collective gasp swept through the hall.Kael stared at the papers, his eyes widened. “My father did?”“Yes,” Silas nodded. “He knew who I was. As a matter of fact, he was the one who told me about our relationship. When I didn’t believe him, he requested we conduct a DNA test. Hence, this."Beatrice i
Aria’s POV“He couldn’t allow his own blood to die?” Elder Marcus repeated, his brows drew together. Thomas nodded slowly. “Yes, Alpha.”Kael stepped forward, confusion washing over him. “What are you trying to imply, Marcus?”Marcus was silent for a moment. His eyes drifted towards Silas, who nodded his head as though giving him the go ahead to speak. Marcus turned back to Kael, his lips parting open. “What I am implying is that Silas is the deceased Alpha Lucas’s son. He’s your brother, Alpha Kael.”The moment the last word escaped his lips, the entire hall erupted into an uproar. “Silas is Alpha Lucas’s son?”“If that’s true, that means he’s Alpha Kael’s brother and the rightful heir to the throne.”“Only the Moon Goddess knows how many secrets this family is hiding.”“We don’t even know where this is leading to!”I stood frozen at a spot, my breath hitched. How on earth did my wedding day turn into a secret revealing day? I gazed at Silas. Unlike Kael who seemed shaken by
Aria’s POVThe hall erupted into another wave of murmurs. “He is that child?”“How is this even possible?”“Looking at him now, he indeed resembles Luna Isabella.”For a few seconds, I just stood frozen, my hands dropping by my sides in shock. Silas was that child? If truly he was the child, that could only mean one thing. He was the rightful heir to the throne. “What… what,” Kael stammered, his lips quivered as he forced the rest of the words out of his lips. “Did you just say?”Silas closed the gap between them, leaning in.“I just said, I’m that child. The child who was banished from Silverfang alongside his mother,” each word escaped Silas’s lips with precision. Kael’s eyes widened, his mouth opened in disbelief, but no words escaped. “You are…” before Kael could finish his statement, Beatrice shot up to her feet from the floor where she once sat. “No…” she shook her head violently as she edged toward Silas. “You’re lying. You can never be him.”Silas’s eyes twitched in pure
Aria’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.
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 POVHis presence filled the room, heavy and commanding. He stood firm and I could feel his fierce eyes burning into my skin.Before, I would have shivered the moment I heard his voice, and my pulse would have hammered loudly in my ears. But not that night.My shoulders were squared confident
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,
Aria’s POV. “Congratulations, Luna Aria. You’re finally going to be a mother!” The doctor’s words hit me like a thunderclap. “What?” the word escaped my lips before I could stop it. “The heir to the Silverfang Pack is growing in your womb. You’re two weeks gone, Aria,” Lea, the pack doctor,
