“We’ve arrived,” Aeron said as he opened the car door for me. I stepped out and looked at the building before me—it was a public cemetery, the final resting place of my parents. It had been far too long since I last visited them.

“I’ll go in alone. Can you wait here?” I needed privacy—to talk to my parents about so many things without anyone else listening.

“Of course, Miss. I’ll wait here,” he replied.

I made my way into the cemetery. The air inside felt different—damp, quiet, carrying echoes of the past. Wild grass grew in certain corners, swaying gently in the late afternoon breeze. The scent of wet soil mingled with the fading, almost rotten fragrance of flowers left to decay in old vases.

My steps halted in front of two wooden gravestones already covered in moss. I stood there, brushing my palm over their surfaces, feeling the cold, rough texture seep into my skin.

“Hello, Dad… Mom,” I whispered, my voice barely rising above the rustle of the wind. “I’m sorry it’s been so long si

  • Seed Of the Strongest Alpha   Chapter 15 – The Bracelet

    “Are you ready to go?”That question stopped me just as I was about to step out the front door. I turned and saw Caelan walking toward me in a perfectly tailored suit, his tie knotted flawlessly. A faint trace of masculine cologne lingered in the air, and from his stride, I knew he was heading to the office.“Yes,” I replied shortly.Without another word, he stepped closer and took something from his jacket pocket. “Then wear this,” he said, reaching for my wrist. His grip was firm, leaving me no chance to pull away.A thin silver bracelet encircled my wrist, set with a gleaming emerald that caught the morning light. Its deep green seemed to hold secrets of its own.“What kind of bracelet is this?” I asked, eyeing him with suspicion.“This will dull your sensitivity. You won’t be overwhelmed when you’re out there,” he answered calmly.I froze. I knew what he meant—this was no ordinary bracelet. He wanted to make sure I remained comfortable, yes, but beneath that, I could feel his inte

    I stared at all the belongings that had been moved from my apartment to this place. Everything had been brought over by Caelan’s men.One by one, I opened the boxes stacked in the corner. They’d truly brought everything—including my marriage certificate with Ronan. I needed to start filing for divorce as soon as possible, so he would stop bothering and harassing me.My gaze lingered on the worn cover of that marriage book. My fingers traced its edges, feeling the rough texture. It was strange—this object had once been the symbol of something I thought would last forever, yet now it felt like nothing more than proof of an expensive mistake.I let out a long breath and tossed it back into the box. “That’s enough. This needs to end.”Grabbing my phone, I searched for the number of a lawyer a friend had once recommended. As soon as I found it, I pressed the call button.A calm, professional voice answered on the other end.“Hello?”“Is this Attorney Brade?” I asked.“Yes, speaking. And yo

    "God!"I jolted awake, drenched in sweat.“So it was all just a dream?” I wiped the sweat from my temples and neck.But it had felt far too real—the hallway, the sound of the piano, and especially the voice of that man."Why did you come only now?"That sentence still echoed in my head, as if he had whispered it directly into my ear.I sat at the edge of the bed, trying to steady my breath. My eyes drifted to the window, where dawn had begun to creep in, slipping gently through the cracks in the curtains.I reached for my phone to check the time. 5:12 a.m.Too early to be up, yet I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep again after that dream.So I got out of bed and quietly left the room.The house was still cloaked in silence.My footsteps echoed down the hallway—eerily reminiscent of the dream I had just woken from.I descended the stairs slowly, letting my instincts guide me.And for some reason, they led me straight to the music room.As I stepped inside, the familiar scent hit me imme

    "Caelan?"The man sitting at the piano was Caelan. He rose from the bench and walked toward me, his steps calm, his gaze sharp under the dim light. His shadow stretched long across the marble floor, as if something older and darker lurked behind his form."Did my piano playing disturb your sleep, Sierra?" he asked, his voice deep and gentle, though for some reason, it carried a tone that made it feel like he already knew my answer.I shook my head slowly, still not fully believing what I was seeing. "It didn't disturb me… but I felt like… I could feel the sorrow in that song."He stopped right in front of me. His silver eyes looked darker tonight, as if hiding something unexplainable."It was beautiful," I said softly, trying to break the tension between us. For some reason, his gaze always made me feel awkward and uneasy—a strange, fluttering sensation I couldn’t quite shake."Yes. It was a song someone used to love," Caelan replied.His tone was flat, but there was something behind

    Knock. Knock. Knock.The sound of knocking jolted me from my thoughts. I walked over to the door and opened it. It was Caelan’s assistant—Aeron.“What is it?” I asked him immediately.“I’m here to deliver some desserts and fruit. Master Caelan said you weren’t able to eat earlier, so he asked me to buy these for you,” Aeron replied.I was just about to refuse when suddenly two servants appeared from behind a corridor pillar, pushing a wheeled table filled with beautiful desserts and fresh fruit slices. Their bright, tempting colors looked like they came straight out of a fairytale.The servants gave a quick bow before pushing the cart into my room and setting it where the lunch tray had been earlier. This time, the aroma wasn’t overwhelming—it was sweet and refreshing, allowing me to breathe easier.“All this… is for me?” I asked, still in disbelief.Aeron nodded politely. “Master Caelan is very concerned about your well-being. He said that if heavy meals are too difficult to handle,
