INICIAR SESIÓNEpilogue Four years later, life had settled into something beautiful, something steady, something Pearl once thought was too fragile to ever exist for her. The palace no longer felt like a place of echoes and old wounds. It breathed now. It laughed. It lived. Morning light spilled through wide windows, carrying the sound of children’s footsteps and soft voices that belonged to a life finally at peace. Pearl stood by the balcony most mornings, watching the world wake beneath her, one hand resting on the stone railing, the other often held by Alpha Lucien, who never seemed to tire of standing beside her. Four years had passed, yet the way he looked at her still held that same reverence, as if loving her was something sacred, something he practiced carefully every single day. They had been blessed with twins. Two beautiful boys, born under a calm moon and a sky that felt impossibly kind. They were identical in the way only twins could be, dark-haired, bright-eyed, and already too cle
Chapter 158. Pearl’s POV. “May I have this moment?” Alpha Lucien said softly, still holding my hand.I lifted my gaze to him, really looking at him, and for a brief second the noise of the palace faded into nothing. His eyes were careful, hopeful, afraid, all at once and that made me a little nervous, too. I swallowed, then shook my head slightly.“Certainly not in this environment.”A soft smile formed at the corner of his lips then he stared at me surprised that I had given in. Perhaps. Perhaps he really thought that I wasn't going to give in, but u had no reason to. A quiet, almost relieved chuckle slipped from Alpha Lucien’s lips. “Oh… of course.” His voice betrayed his nerves, but there was something else there too, something fragile and grateful, because I was not turning him away. Not completely.He loosened his hold on my hand and tried to guide me forward, but I gently withdrew my fingers from his. He understood immediately and didn’t push. I walked ahead, steady, calm
Chapter 157. Pearl’s Pov. The palace felt strangely quiet as we walked through its long corridors, the soft echo of our footsteps the only sound filling the space between us, and even that seemed too loud for how heavy my chest felt. The walls glowed faintly under the light, familiar and yet distant, as if I was walking through a place that no longer belonged to me. Imani walked beside me in calm silence, her hands folded loosely in front of her, her presence gentle but grounding, and for a while, neither of us said anything, the words sitting between us like something fragile neither of us wanted to touch. I didn't know why my heart was cracking, but perhaps, it was because Vera wasn't here, between us. And that broke my heart. I had not meant to infect her. Even with the atrocitiesties she has committed against me, but that was my only chance to escape. Of survival. I was still deep in thoughts and lost in words when Imani spoke, breaking the silence. “You should forgive him,
Chapter 156. Vera’s Pov. I was lying on the bed when I realized that death did not come loudly, it did not announce itself with thunder or screaming, it came quietly, spreading through my veins like heat, slow and deliberate, burning every part of me from the inside out. My body felt heavy and light at the same time, my skin too hot, my breath uneven, and I knew the time was close because the poison always worked that way, patiently, mercilessly, waiting for the exact hour it was injected before it finished the job. My eyes stung with tears I no longer had the strength to wipe away, and regret wrapped around my chest tighter than the pain itself as memories crashed into me one after another, every choice I had made, every warning I ignored, every lie I told myself just so I could believe I was loved. I should not have trusted him, I should not have been so desperate to be chosen, and as my lips trembled, I realized too late that love was never meant to cost this much.The door ope
Chapter 155. Alpha Lucian’s POV. I walked into my office with a glass of whiskey clenched tightly in my hand, the liquid sloshing dangerously close to the rim as my fingers trembled with restrained rage, and before I even reached the desk a guttural groan tore out of my chest as I hurled the glass forward with all the strength in my arm, watching it crash violently against the wall before shattering to the floor in a sharp explosion of sound, shards scattering everywhere like the pieces of my sanity, and I stood there panting, chest heaving, breath rough and uneven as the words ripped out of me in a hoarse snarl,“Fuck you… fuck the entire world.”My legs gave in and I slumped heavily into the chair behind my desk, dragging a hand down my face as the image of her burned behind my closed eyes, the way she looked at me when she left, cold, distant, her eyes stripped of every trace of warmth they once held for me, and it felt like something vital had been ripped out of my chest and cru
Chapter 154. Alpha Lucian’s POV. I stared at Imani.Then at Mila.Then back at Pearl.She lay on the bed like she was made of glass, her skin too pale, her lips faintly parted, her chest rising so slowly it scared me. One of her hands rested over her stomach as though even in unconsciousness she knew she was not alone anymore, as though she was guarding our child with the last thread of instinct left in her body.“That’s the only way to save her,” I said at last, my voice coming out hoarse, scraped raw from fear and sleeplessness. “After the blood… I need to mate with her.”The words tasted like ash in my mouth.Imani nodded slowly, solemnly, like a judge passing a sentence that could not be appealed.“That is the only way,” she said. “The poison has spread too far. It has woven itself into her core, into her wolf, into the life growing inside her. Without the bond, she will die.”My gaze snapped back to Pearl.“She’s unconscious,” I said, my chest tightening painfully. “She didn’t
