Kael couldn’t speak.

The words echoed inside his head.

Your father asked me to.

He stared at Rowan.

“You killed my father.”

Rowan lowered his head.

“Yes.”

Kael’s hands began to tremble.

“And you raised me knowing that?”

“I raised you because he trusted me.”

“You lied to me.”

“I did.”

“You watched me grow up believing my parents were murdered.”

Rowan’s eyes filled with pain.

“I know.”

Kael stepped toward him.

“Why?”

Rowan looked toward the silver crown.

“Because your father knew he was already lost.”

The chamber grew quiet.

Even Malachi stopped smiling.

Rowan continued.

“The night the Moon Kingdom fell, your father discovered that the Shadow King had corrupted his blood.”

Kael frowned.

“What does that mean?”

“He had become the final vessel for Azrael.”

Kael looked toward the shadow.

Azrael’s expression remained unreadable.

“Your father knew that if he died naturally, Azrael would take complete control of his body.”

Kael’s breath caught.

“So he asked you to kill him.”

Rowan nodded.

“He gave me one order.”

His voice broke.

“Take Kael away. Hide him. And if I ever return…”

Rowan looked directly at Kael.

“…kill me before I can reach him.”

Kael’s eyes filled with tears.

“Did you?”

“I did.”

“Was he afraid?”

Rowan closed his eyes.

“No.”

A painful silence followed.

“He smiled.”

Kael’s lips trembled.

“My father smiled?”

“He told me he was finally going to see your mother again.”

Kael looked away.

For the first time, his hatred began turning into grief.

Malachi suddenly laughed.

“How touching.”

Everyone turned toward him.

“But Rowan forgot one important detail.”

Rowan’s expression hardened.

“Don’t.”

Malachi smiled.

“Your father didn’t simply ask Rowan to kill him.”

He pointed toward Kael.

“He asked Rowan to erase your memories.”

Kael froze.

“What?”

Rowan didn’t answer.

Kael’s voice rose.

“You erased my memories?”

“I had no choice.”

“You always say that!”

Kael’s power exploded from his body.

Silver energy swept through the chamber.

Everyone was thrown backward.

The Moon Crown flew into the air.

Kael fell to his knees, clutching his head.

Images flashed through his mind.

His mother holding him.

His father kissing his forehead.

Rowan carrying him through flames.

But there were other memories.

Memories he had never seen.

A secret room.

His father kneeling before him.

A small silver blade placed in his hands.

His father’s voice whispered:

“When the time comes, Kael, you must choose between love and the crown.”

The memory changed.

A younger Kael stood beside Lucien.

They were children.

Lucien was smiling.

Kael was laughing.

Then Lucien’s father appeared.

The scene turned dark.

Kael screamed.

The memories vanished.

Lucien rushed toward him.

“Kael!”

Kael looked up.

His eyes were glowing silver.

Lucien stopped.

“Your eyes…”

Kael slowly stood.

The Moon Crown descended toward him.

But instead of landing on his head, it stopped above him.

The three gemstones opened like eyes.

A voice filled the sanctuary.

“The heir has remembered.”

Azrael smiled.

“The seal is broken.”

Malachi’s expression changed.

“No.”

The First Guardian lowered its head.

“Your Majesty.”

Kael looked around the chamber.

He was no longer shaking.

No longer confused.

For the first time, he felt something inside him that had been buried for years.

Power.

He looked at Rowan.

Then at Lucien.

Then at Malachi.

Finally, he looked at the crown.

“I want the truth.”

The crown responded.

“Then pay the price.”

Three shadows appeared around Kael.

One was silver.

One was crimson.

One was black.

And each reached toward his heart.

Lucien stepped forward.

“Kael, don’t.”

Kael looked at him.

“What if the crown takes me?”

Lucien’s eyes hardened.

“Then I’ll bring you back.”

A faint smile appeared on Kael’s lips.

“You already rejected me once.”

Lucien’s expression softened.

“I won’t make that mistake twice.”

The crown suddenly descended.

And Kael disappeared beneath a storm of silver light.

  • The Alpha Who Rejected the Wrong Omega   Chapter 36: The Veil That Remembered

    The moment Lucien’s wolf spoke, the silver heart inside the glass chamber stopped beating.Aurelian went completely still.For the first time since Lucien had awakened in Elysium, the prince who wore his face looked genuinely afraid.“Did you hear that?” Lucien whispered.Aurelian’s jaw tightened. “You should not be able to hear him.”“Perhaps you should have thought of that before you chained me to a table.”Lucien pulled against the silver restraints. Pain tore through his wrists, and the unfamiliar symbols carved into the stone beneath him flashed white. His wolf growled somewhere deep inside his chest, but the sound was faint, as though an entire world stood between them.Brother, don't let him open the heart.Lucien stared at the floating silver heart.It was no larger than a human heart, yet the chamber surrounding it seemed to breathe with its rhythm. Five silver rings revolved around it, each marked with an unfamiliar symbol. Four were dark. The fifth glowed faintly, pulsing i

  • The Alpha Who Rejected the Wrong Omega   Chapter 35: The Heart They Came to Steal

    “Lucien!”Kael's scream followed the Alpha into the darkness.The black chain dragged Lucien across the broken floor, its links burning with the same five-circle symbol that had appeared on his chest. Lucien fought against it, his boots carving deep marks into the stone, but every movement only made the chain tighten.Kael refused to let go.His fingers locked around Lucien's wrist.“I'm not losing you!”Aurelian glanced over his shoulder.“You already have.”He closed his fist.The chain jerked.Lucien's hand slipped from Kael's grasp.For one terrible instant, their fingers remained connected by nothing more than their fingertips.Then they separated.Kael lunged forward, but Caelan caught him around the waist.“Let me go!”“Kael, stop!”“HE'S TAKING HIM!”“And if you follow him like this, you'll die before you reach the door!”Kael struck his brother's arm.Caelan released him immediately.Kael stumbled forward, ready to chase Aurelian, but the stranger had already reached the shat

  • The Alpha Who Rejected the Wrong Omega   Chapter 34: The Brother Who Wore Another Face

    Kael could not look away from the figure beyond the mountains.It had Lucien's face.The same sharp jaw. The same dark hair. The same cruelly beautiful eyes that had once watched Kael stand alone beneath the full moon while an entire kingdom laughed at his rejection.But the figure wore no crown.It did not need one.The world itself seemed to bend around it.“That's impossible,” Lucien whispered.He had managed to stand, though his legs trembled. One hand remained pressed against his chest, where the five interlocking circles glowed beneath his skin.Kael turned toward him.“Do you know who that is?”Lucien shook his head.“No.”His answer came too quickly.Kael noticed.So did the boy standing beside him.“You're lying,” the child said.Lucien's gaze snapped toward him.“Be careful what you accuse me of.”The boy laughed bitterly.“You always say that when you remember something you don't want anyone else to know.”Lucien went still.Kael looked between them.“What does that mean?”

    “Too late.”The child's voice echoed through the fortress.It came from beneath the floor, from behind the walls, and from somewhere deep inside Kael's own chest.For one terrible moment, nobody moved.Then Lucien screamed.He fell to his knees, both hands pressed against his chest. Black veins spread from his heart toward his throat, forming the same ancient symbols that had appeared on Kael's palm.Kael dropped beside him.“Lucien! Look at me!”The Alpha's body convulsed.His wolf roared, but the sound was wrong. It was not the furious cry of a creature fighting for control. It was the desperate howl of something being dragged away from its owner.Kael gripped Lucien's shoulders.“Fight it!”Lucien lifted his head.His eyes were black, but a thin silver ring remained around each pupil.“I am trying.”His voice sounded strained, almost distant.“Kael, listen to me. If I lose control again, you have to—”“No.”“Let me finish.”“No!” Kael shouted. “I have spent my entire life being tol

  • The Alpha Who Rejected the Wrong Omega   Chapter 32: The Child Who Died Twice

    Azrael was smiling.Not the cruel smile of a conqueror who had finally defeated his enemies.Not the satisfied smile of a prisoner who had escaped centuries of confinement.It was the smile of a father who had just heard his daughter remember him.And somehow, that made it more terrifying.“Say it again,” he whispered.Elara stood trembling in the middle of the chamber. Black tears ran down her cheeks, but the silver in her eyes burned brighter with every passing second.“Mother killed me before I was born.”Elaris took a step toward her.“No, my little moon. You don't understand what you remember.”Elara screamed.“Don't call me that!”The force of her voice shattered the remaining windows. Glass exploded outward, scattering across the courtyard below. The shadows rushed toward her, gathering around her body like a cloak.Kael moved instinctively.“Elara, look at me.”She turned toward him.For a brief moment, he saw the frightened child who had called him brother beneath the fortres

    The voice came from beyond the sealed doors.And every person in the chamber recognized it.Even those who had never heard it before.Elaris.The woman Azrael claimed Seraphine had murdered. The woman whose face haunted Kael's visions. The woman who had warned him not to trust Elara.And now she was coming for her daughter.Elara stood frozen beneath the ancient symbol glowing on her forehead.Then she smiled.It was not the frightened smile of a little girl who had just awakened from twenty years of imprisonment.It was the smile of someone who had finally heard the words she had waited centuries to hear.“Mother,” she whispered.The sealed doors shuddered.Seraphine lunged toward her.“No! Whatever you hear, do not answer her!”Elara's smile disappeared.“Why?”“Because that is not your mother!”A deafening crash shook the fortress.The doors split down the middle.Silver mist poured through the opening, crawling across the floor like living water. The temperature dropped so sharply
