MasukAiden’s PovThe grand hall was filled with people from different packs and even different kingdoms. Wolves from far and near had gathered to witness this special moment. The hall looked brighter than I had ever seen it. It was decorated with white flowers, gold ribbons, and glowing lanterns that hung on the ceiling. Soft music played in the background, and it felt like the whole world had come together to witness this day.I stood at the altar beside the priest, trying to keep my breathing calm but it was failing terribly. Today, I was not just standing as a prince or a future Alpha, I was standing as a man about to marry the woman he loved more than life itself. After everything that had happened and all the plans and traps the enemies set to pull us apart, we still made it here. Today was the beginning of our new life.I could barely focus. My palms were sweating, and my heart kept racing like I had just finished fighting a battle. I kept imagining Rose walking into the hall, lookin
Rose’s Pov“Waky waky, pookie…” Ivy’s cheerful voice flew into my ears as she tapped my back again and again. Her voice was too bright for so early in the morning, but that was Ivy, she’s always full of energy.“Ivy…” I groaned, rubbing my eyes as I shifted on the soft bed. My body was still feeling warm and heavy with sleep.“It’s past eight, Rose! Do you want to be late for your own wedding?” she said in a dramatic whisper.Her words hit me sharply and I sat up immediately, my eyes widening. “What? Past eight?”I quickly turned to the wall clock. She was right. It was already fifteen minutes past eight.“Rose, stand up! What are you waiting for?” Ivy clapped her hands like a mother scolding her child.“I- okay, okay… I’m up.” I jumped out of the bed so fast that my feet almost tangled in the blankets. I grabbed my towel and hurried toward the bathroom. “Just give me a moment!”Ivy chuckled behind me. “You better be fast. The stylists are almost here!”I closed the bathroom door an
Rose’s PovAfter the guards dragged Cassandra out of the hall, silence filled the room as if the air was trying to recover from everything that had just happened. My heart was still beating fast, not because of fear anymore, but because everything in my life had changed within minutes. It all felt like a dream. My father, Alpha Ralph, turned toward me slowly. His eyes were softer now and no longer filled with anger like when he spoke to Cassandra. “My child…” he began, as he took a deep breath as if the words were too heavy. “Now that I’ve found you… we can finally go home. Back to the pack. We have so much to talk about. You have many things to learn and understand. You will be the heir to the throne. It is your birthright.”The hall erupted into soft murmurs. Some gasped softly while others whispered to each other. Being called the heir… it felt surreal. A few days ago, I was just Rose, trying to survive the chaos, fighting for my life and Aiden. And now… a lost princess. A futu
Rose’s Pov“Father?” The word escaped my lips before I even understood why. It came out soft, shaky, like a whisper pulled from the deepest part of my soul. It felt like the moment I said it, something inside me opened. I started seeing things that didn’t look like memories at first. They were blurry, fast and scattered. But the more I focused, the clearer they became, until it felt like I was standing inside my own past.I saw a huge war. Wolves were fighting everywhere. The sky was filled with smoke and flames. Screams echoed around me. It was the Shadowborn pack, my pack. It looked like a total destruction.I saw my mother, Luna Eliana. She was beautiful, fierce, and brave even in the middle of a battlefield. But then I saw her fall. I saw blood. I saw rogues closing in and then I saw her take her last breath. Then… I saw myself.I was a small girl, maybe two or three years old, crying and trying to run. Someone grabbed me from behind. I kicked and screamed, but they tied my hands.
Aiden’s PovWhen the guard bent close to whisper into my ear, I didn’t think much of it at first. The matters at the court were chaotic today, Cassandra’s crimes, Caine’s death, the shock about Rose being alive, everything was already overwhelming. But then he mentioned the name of the person requesting to see me. It was Ethan.It felt like the name didn’t register clearly in my head. It felt familiar, I frowned a little, as I tried to remember where I had met someone named Ethan. But the harder I tried to search my mind, the more confused I became.Still, something pushed me inside my heart to go see him immediately. So I excused myself and walked quickly down the hallway toward the small waiting room near the palace entrance. But the moment I opened the door, I quickly remembered everything.Ethan stood from his seat at once, his eyes widening when he saw me. Before I could even say a word, he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around me tightly, almost knocking the air out of my
Rose’s PovThe royal court was silent except for Luna Eva’s loud and painful sobs. She knelt beside Caine’s lifeless body, shaking his shoulders as if he would suddenly wake up and tell her it was all a lie.“This… this is all your fault, Cassandra,” she cried, her voice breaking over and over again. Her hands moved helplessly over Caine’s chest, face and hair, trying to bring warmth back into a body that was already turning cold. “My son… my son…” she cried.Not a single person moved. The whole court was heavy with sadness. Even if Caine had done terrible things to me, to Aiden, and the entire pack, it still hurt to see a prince lying dead on the floor like that. It even hurt more to see Luna Eva crying like her heart had been ripped out.Aiden held my hand so tightly that my fingers felt numb, but I didn’t complain. He needed the comfort as much as I did.Finally, King Eric, who had been silent and shaking with buried emotions, let out a long sigh and spoke in a heavy voice.“It was
