Ethan’s POV

I was already dressed in my formal attire, the black suit fitting snugly over my frame. Elena was almost ready too, she stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the delicate chain of a diamond necklace around her neck. She turned her back to me, silently asking for help with the clasp.

Wordlessly, I moved closer and hooked the necklace for her, my fingers brushing lightly against her skin. She shivered slightly, not from my touch, but from excitement. Her smile was wide, her eyes gleaming with happiness.

Something about her mood tonight gnawed at me. She was too happy.

Curious, I tilted my head.

“I can see you’re very excited today,” I said slowly, narrowing my eyes at her through the mirror. “Is the masquerade ball the only reason, or is there another… secret you’re hiding from me?”

She let out a soft laugh, turning slightly to face me, her earrings swinging gently with the motion.

“Well,” she said, practically beaming, “I invited Maddie to the ball.”

I frowned.

Maddie. He

    Kai’s POV“Then…” I glanced back at the dungeon entrance, my jaw tightening. “This isn’t the one. If she’s being kept somewhere, it’s not here. She’s in a different dungeon. Somewhere far from this place.”“So… what’s your plan next?” Alex asked, crossing his arms.“What do you mean my plan?” I shot back. “The real question is what’s our next plan. Don’t tell me you’re bailing on me now.”He sighed. “Come on, Kai. I don’t want to be involved in this any deeper than I already am.”“What do you mean you don’t want to be involved? You’re already in this with me,” I said, stepping closer. “We started this together, dude. We will finish it together.”“Yeah, yeah, whatever,” he muttered, rolling his eyes. “Fine. What’s our next plan, then?”I smirked. “Simple. We need to find out which dungeon she’s really being kept in.”Alex raised an eyebrow. “And how exactly do you plan on doing that? What are you just gonna barge into the King’s chambers and go: ‘Hey, Father, where are you keeping my m

    Kai’s POV“If you knew that,” I said, raising a brow, “why did you tell her?”“I didn’t,” he grumbled. “She caught me.”That made me laugh out loud. “Oh man. You’re doomed.”“No kidding,” he muttered“Well, don’t worry, dude, you’ll be fine. I know a way to make sure Elena keeps her mouth shut.” I said with a smirk.His eyes lit up, hopeful. “What way? Please tell me.”“Easy,” I said, leaning closer like I was sharing some grand secret. “Just kidnap her. Duct tape, rope, seal her mouth and keep her quiet.”Alex’s hopeful expression dropped instantly. “Wow. Very funny,” he deadpanned.I chuckled. “Come on, you’ve been best friends with Elena for years. You really think there’s a way to make her keep a secret if she doesn’t want to? Just brace yourself and pray she doesn’t spill it anytime soon.”That little spark in his eyes faded, and he let out a sigh. “Well… whatever. I don’t even care anymore. She can tell whoever she wants.”“Okay,” I said with a shrug. “If you say so.”We walked

    Kai’s POVAlex opened his mouth to speak, but I held up a hand, cutting him off. My heart was racing, my blood boiling.“I came back for her. I need answers. And if what you told me is true…” I paused, my voice low and deadly, “then he’s going to pay for what he did to my mother.”“Hmmm,” Alex muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. “Okay, since you’ve already made up your mind, there’s probably nothing I can say to change it. But… have you found any clues yet?”I let out a frustrated sigh. “Not much. I tried getting close to the dungeon beneath the palace, but it’s heavily guarded. No one can enter without the King’s direct permission.”Alex raised a brow. “So… what’s your plan now?”I didn’t answer immediately. Instead, I gave him the look, the one I knew he couldn’t resist. His eyes narrowed.“No. No, no, no. Don’t even think about it,” he said, shaking his head and immediately turning to walk away.I rushed after him, grabbing his arm to stop him. “Alex, please. I just need you to

    Kai’s POVI’d been pacing the palace halls for almost an hour, searching everywhere for Alex, but it was like the guy had vanished into thin air. No one seemed to know where he was, and honestly, I was starting to think he’d grown wings and flown off.Just as I was about to give up and head back to my room, I spotted him.He was stepping out of a room slowly, his eyes glued to the floor, his entire body slumped like someone had yanked the life right out of him. His face was pale, lips slightly parted, and his steps were sluggish, like he was walking under water.If I didn’t know better, I’d say the guy either just got his heart shattered into tiny little pieces… or his soul had left his body and forgotten to return.I didn’t hesitate. I strode over and blocked his path, crossing my arms.“Alex,” I said, squinting at him, “what’s wrong? Don’t tell me your girlfriend broke your heart… Oh wait, my bad. You don’t swing that way. I mean your boyfriend?”I said it with a grin, waiting for t

    Clara’s POV“Did you notice how weird Amelia got when I told her I’m in love with the king?” I asked my wolf, Lara, through our mind link as I strolled through the palace gardens, heels clicking against the polished stone.“Weird?” Lara scoffed. “Girl, you dropped a bombshell. What did you expect her to do, offer you tea and a crown? You literally told her you’re into the most powerful, most dangerous man in the realm. The king! A ruthless immortal widower who’s over a thousand years old.”I rolled my eyes, “Please. If not for immortality, he’d be dust by now. But look at him, still walking around like a twenty-year-old Greek god. That jawline? That voice? That power? I mean… he’s the whole damn package.”“And his son is your age mate.” Lara deadpanned.“Exactly. So why settle for a prince when I can be queen?” I said with a satisfied smirk. “I deserve the throne. I deserve the title. And honestly, he’s more interesting than any of the royal brats in this place.”“You don’t even love

    Klaus’s POVI headed to my room after my little run-in with Clara, and damn… I couldn’t help the smirk pulling at my lips.That woman is a menace. A walking storm in heels. Feisty, sharp-tongued, and absolutely scorching, she is hot as hell.And I fucking love it.Her attitude? That fiery resistance?It turns me on more than I care to admit.I pushed open my bedroom door and stepped in only to be met with fire of a different kind.Lily.She was standing in the middle of the room, arms crossed, face twisted with fury, eyes full of accusation. Her chest was rising and falling rapidly like she was holding back the urge to scream.Shit. She must’ve seen me smiling after talking to Clara.Here we go.“What were you doing with that bitch Clara?” she snapped.I walked past her like she didn’t exist and headed for the decanter of whiskey on the side table.“I’m talking to you, Klaus!” she yelled, voice rising. “You act like you hate her, but I see the way you look at her. You’re falling for h
