Chapter 64: Odd Behavior

XENOIS

I herded both boys toward the stairs, listening to Ollie chatter excitedly about their "cooking adventure" while Riley remained silent. In the bathroom, I ran the shower and helped them both get cleaned up, I kept on noticing how different their personalities were now that I was paying closer attention to them.

Ollie was his usual talkative self, narrating every step of the washing process and making grand plans for what they could do with the rest of their Sunday.

Riley, on the other hand, seemed content to let Ollie make all the decisions and do most of the talking.

"Riley doesn't have any clean clothes," Ollie announced as we finished up. "Can he borrow some of mine?"

"Of course he can," I said, watching as Ollie immediately began pulling items from his dresser. "Pick out whatever you think will fit him."

It was interesting to watch the dynamic between them. Ollie clearly felt responsible for Riley, making choices on his behalf without even asking

    Chapter 120: Riley's Last AdventureSOPHIA Riley didn't resist or cry out when I pulled him with a grip that would leave normal bones broken, which only helped to fuel my anger further. The compulsion spell was still working perfectly well, he couldn't disobey me directly, he couldn't fight back or run away. But somehow, he'd found a way to work around it, to strike at the spot where I was most vulnerable.In his room, I checked his necklace first, running my hand along the chain to make sure it was still well fastened and locked around his neck. The pendant was a bit warm against his skin, the magic was still humming with power. Whatever loophole he'd found to remove Xenois's necklace without me knowing, he hadn't been able to use it on his own."Did you think this was going to change anything?" I asked him as I aggressively pulled out clothes from his dresser, throwing together an outfit that was suitable for our trip to the woods. "Did you think being a little hero would someh

    Chapter 119: The Necklace Is MissingSOPHIAI was humming softly to myself as I flipped the pancakes in the pan, the sweet smell of breakfast filling the kitchen. Everything was falling into place perfectly. Today was the day I would finally remove the last obstacle standing between me and my happily ever after with Xenois.The sound of footsteps on the stairs made me turn with a bright smile, expecting to see Riley coming down for breakfast. Instead, Xenois walked into the kitchen, already dressed in his business suit and looking more alert than I'd seen him in weeks."Good morning, darling," I said sweetly, gesturing toward the stove. "Breakfast is almost ready. I made your favorite pancakes."But instead of the warm greeting I was expecting, Xenois kept his distance, his expression oddly serious as he leaned against the kitchen counter."Sophia, I've found you a place to live," he said without skipping a beat, his voice sounding businesslike in a way that made my stomach clench wit

    Chapter 118: In Another Life, I Would Be Your SonRILEYI nodded eagerly, scooting over to make room for him to sit on the edge of my mattress instead. The book was about a brave little wolf who went on adventures and learned important lessons about friendship and courage. Mr. Xenois had read it with different voices for each character, making me giggle despite the heaviness in my chest.When he'd finished the story and closed the book, I'd looked at him carefully in the soft light from my lamp."Mr. Xenois?" I asked quietly."Yes?""Are you sad that I replaced Ollie?"Mr. Xenois had looked confused, his eyebrows drawing together. "What do you mean, replace him?""I know you're my father," I'd said, the words coming out in a rush before the magic could stop me. Maybe because I was talking to him instead of trying to tell someone about Mommy, the necklace wasn't preventing me from saying this part. "I figured it out, and I want to know if you hate me for that.""Riley," Mr. Xenois had

    Chapter 117: The Last DinnerRILEYThe grandfather clock in the dining room chimed at midnight, its deep, resonant tones echoing through the quiet house. I'd been lying in bed since dinner, staring at the ceiling and thinking about everything that had happened today – and everything that was going to happen tomorrow.Dinner was different tonight. Mr. Xenois had come home just as we were sitting down to eat, which surprised both me and Mommy. He'd been staying away from the house ever since he got out of the hospital, and I'd started to think he might never come back.But tonight he'd sat across from me at the big dining table, asking me questions about how I was doing, what I'd been playing with, if I was sleeping okay. His attention felt warm and genuine, not like the distracted way he sometimes looked at me when Mommy was around."I'm sorry I haven't been here more," he'd said, cutting his food but watching my face carefully. "I know I should have been spending time with you, especi

    Chapter 116: Fractured Royalties LUMINAI left the office quickly, my mind filled with a lot of conflicting emotions. The conversation with Xenois had shaken me more than I wanted to admit, especially when he'd mentioned that dream about us dying in a car accident.My steps faltered in the hallway as the memory of that terrible night crashed over me.The rain, the desperate need to get away from the pain of watching Xenois choose Sophia and Riley over us again, trying to make Ollie feel better about the broken promise by taking him to get ice cream as an additional treat. the way the car had skidded on the wet pavement, the moment of absolute terror before the impact, Ollie's heart not withstanding the pain and pressure before dying, me dying in his arms...But that was my previous life, my previous death when Sophia had won. How could Xenois have dreamed about it? Was it possible that somehow, in some way, he remembered about it? Or was it simply a coincidence, his subconscious fe

    Chapter 115: I Don't Like You, Neither Do I Care About Your Feelings.LUMINA "You shouldn't have provoked him like that," I said to Zade crossing my hands across my chest as soon as the call ended, turning to face him with disapproval written across my face. The tension in the room was still heavy from the confrontation that Zade had with my mate and I could see the satisfaction in Zade's eyes that made my stomach turn a bit, making me uneasy.Zade shrugged, moving around his desk to lean against it casually, as if he hadn't just deliberately antagonized the father of my child. "We're still rivals first and foremost, Lumina. I wanted to have the last word, and I did.""That wasn't about rivalry," I insisted, knowing that he was trying to play it off as a mere Alpha rivalry. "That was about hurting him when he's already down. When he's already lost everything.""Has he though?" Zade asked, his dark eyes studying my face with intensity. "Because from what I just heard, he seems to
