ログインMeanwhile, in Amelia’s mansion, Aiden’s car drove into the compound, the tires crunching softly against the gravel as the engine finally went still. He stepped out of the car, shutting the door with more force than necessary, his jaw tight, his shoulders tense like he was holding himself together by sheer will.James’ car followed closely behind, pulling in beside his. He got out as well, his movements slower, more cautious, his eyes already studying Aiden’s rigid posture.For a moment, the two men simply stood there, staring at each other in silence, the weight of everything unspoken pressing heavily between them. Then Aiden gave a slight nod, sharp, decisive and without another word, they both began walking toward the front door.Aiden lifted his hand and knocked, the sound firm but controlled.The door creaked open, revealing Gloria. Her eyes widened the moment she saw them, surprise flashing across her face. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out. She just stood there, fr
Meanwhile, Aiden, who had left the restaurant, drove to meet James at the place they had agreed on. It was by the roadside, downtown. Aiden parked his car at the side of the road and stepped out. The door slammed a little harder than necessary as he walked toward James, who was already standing by his car, waiting for him.“Aiden…” James muttered as he stepped forward, closing the distance between them, worry etched deeply across his face.“I didn’t want to tell you over the phone. The witch couldn’t perform the locating spell… someone was blocking it…” James said, his voice low, tense.Aiden exhaled slowly, the breath dragging out of him like it weighed something. He didn’t look surprised. Not even a flicker. Instead, he slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out his phone, his eyes scanning the screen, waiting…hoping…for Damien’s call.“You don’t seem surprised…” James added, his brows furrowing as he studied Aiden carefully.Aiden’s thumb hovered over his phone for a second be
“No one? What makes you think I came here alone?” Kate muttered, her lips curling into a slow, unsettling smile.Aiden’s brows furrowed slightly, confusion flickering across his face at her words. His body went still for a split second, instincts kicking in. His gaze shifted sharply around the restaurant, scanning every corner with heightened awareness.His eyes landed on one corner, two men dressed in black sat there, their posture too rigid, their attention too focused.His jaw tightened.He turned his head slightly to another corner, this time, a man and a woman, both clad in black, seated too casually, yet their eyes were locked on him.A slow realization crept in.He turned again, another pair.His chest rose and fell slowly as the truth settled in.“You see those men?” Kate’s voice cut through his thoughts, calm, controlled, but laced with quiet menace. “They came with me. They’re my wolves… and witches.” She leaned in slightly, her eyes darkening. “And they hate you.”Aiden’s f
“Not so fast, Miss….” Aiden muttered, stepping forward and blocking her path completely, his broad frame cutting off her escape. Alpha Alaric stood up immediately, his chair scraping harshly against the tiled floor. Kate let out a soft, nervous laugh, though the tension in her shoulders betrayed her unease.“Aiden, I only came to town to present a proposal to your dad so we can work together again… I don’t know if you have any other ideas about me, that I came to Red Moon Pack for another reason, but it’s not true…” Kate muttered, her voice steady on the surface, but her fingers subtly tightened around her handbag. Her heart thudded loudly against her ribs, faster than normal, but she forced her breathing to remain even, forcing composure onto her face.“I never said you had any reason for coming back to Red Moon Pack. I never accused you of anything… so why suddenly so defensive?” Aiden tilted his head slightly, his gaze sharp, calculating, almost predatory. “Or do you feel guilty ab
Meanwhile, in a small restaurant downtown in Red Moon Pack, Alpha Alaric is seen entering the building. The atmosphere inside was warm, but the tension on his face made it feel colder around him.He stopped at the entrance for a moment, dark eyes scanning the space slowly, deliberately. His gaze moved across tables, chairs, strangers eating and talking, he looked around until his eyes landed on her.Kate.His jaw tightened slightly.He moved forward with steady, controlled steps until he reached her table. He stopped right in front of her and looked down at her with a blank, unreadable expression.“Kate Blackwood…” he muttered, his deep voice cold and firm.Kate stood up immediately, a slow, confident smile curling on her blood-red painted lips as if she had been expecting this exact reaction. She looked unchanged by time, if anything, more dangerous.She was dressed in a striking red gown that hugged her figure perfectly. Her grey silk-like hair flowed over her shoulders, and her bro
Meanwhile, Aiden’s car came to a stop in front of the pack house and just as he was about to enter the house, he had seen James’s car drive inside. He then looked away without reacting, jaw tightening briefly, and walked inside the house, making his way straight to his office.The moment he got to his office, he closed the door behind him and rested his back against it for a moment. His chest rose slowly, unevenly, as if even breathing had become heavy. His eyes burned, tears prickling at the edges, but he blinked them back immediately, swallowing hard as though forcing the emotion down his throat.He pushed himself away from the door and sat on the chair in his office, elbows resting on his knees, his hands burying into his hair. His fingers gripped tightly at his scalp as pain surged through him, not just the physical ache in his cursed hands, but something deeper, heavier. Anger. Helplessness. Fear. It all twisted inside him at once like a storm he couldn’t escape.He had that woun
“Good night…” Aiden muttered, voice heavy.Cassia didn’t answer. She turned to leave only for Arthur’s piercing scream to slice through the silence.Her blood ran cold. Fear tore through her spine like ice water. Her head snapped toward the stairs, eyes wide with horror.She and Aiden locked gazes
“Now you will sit and listen to everything I have to say. And you will tell me the truth… or your son dies.”Cassia’s voice cut through the silence like a blade.Sofia swallowed hard, her throat bone-dry. She lifted her chin and bit down on her trembling lip, trying to mask her fear with defiance.
“I said come inside with me…”“Are you sure?” he asked softly, almost like he didn’t believe her.“Yes,” she snapped, though her voice trembled. “Just come. Stop asking questions…unless you’d rather stay out here alone…”Aiden gave a small nod and followed her. She pushed the front door open and st
“Dad…” Aiden called, his brows furrowed as he spotted his father standing stiffly outside the ward where his blood sample had been taken. His chest tightened with unease. What was his father doing here? How did he even know? He wasn't surprised since he was in the hospital with his wife and news fl
