LOGINHelio“Is what the Alpha saying true? Does Eleanor have a son for the late Alpha Julio?” one elder screamed at Calisto.“A bastard cannot take the place of our true Alpha!” another snarled, clearly referring to Julian.Violet simply sat there in silence, watching everything unfold with calm detachment.Before Eleanor could fire another question through the mind-link, I slammed it shut. Instantly, a wave of distress slammed into me—not mine, but Idara’s. It grew stronger by the second. I turned sharply to Danae, who was already pulling out her phone.I reopened the mind-link, this time only to her. “Something is wrong with Idara.”Danae’s eyes widened. “It seems that the friend you told me about is at her mother’s place right now.”I exhaled sharply, forcing myself to stay calm. “Go handle it immediately. Call the guards I stationed there—make sure not a single hair on my mother-in-law’s head is harmed. And call Idara.”Danae rose without another word and hurried out to carry out my
HelioThe moment I arrived at the council meeting, everyone was already present—except Calisto and his niece.Imagine an Alpha calling for a meeting and those two still arriving late. If this had been the past, I probably wouldn’t have had the courage to do anything about it. But things have changed now.I am no longer the Helio they once knew.“And where are Calisto and Eleanor?” I asked immediately as I took my seat, scanning the room.Mario was the first to stand and speak. This time, however, there was respect in his tone, especially after our little confrontation the other day.“Sorry, Alpha. They are a bit late, but they should be here shortly,” he said with his head slightly bowed.“Are you his spokesperson?” I asked calmly.The room fell quiet as the others glanced at one another.“I’ll ask again,” I said slowly. “Are you his spokesperson, Mario?”He shook his head quickly.“No, Alpha. I only spoke because I didn’t want your question to go unanswered.”I studied him for a mome
IdaraI was left in the sitting room with little Julian. His nanny stayed nearby, keeping an eye on him as he played with his toys on the floor. Meanwhile, I sat quietly in a chair, trying to keep my thoughts from spiraling.Whatever Helio was dealing with, I just hoped it would end well.He hadn’t told me much, but I could sense the tension in him earlier. It was in the way he moved, the way his voice had tightened slightly when he spoke.Something serious was happening.I had already been feeling that tension long before I told him about Eleanor’s phone call, but after I mentioned it, the atmosphere around him seemed to grow even heavier.Helio never told me exactly where he was going. But seeing Violet and Danae leave with him made it obvious enough.They had gone to the council meeting I had heard whispers about.To be honest, he was keeping me completely in the dark about everything. Still, he had promised to explain it all once things were settled.Maybe he was doing it for my s
HelioThe rest of the day passed quietly. Idara spent most of it resting while we shared small conversations here and there. Not long after, Danae informed me through the mind link that the council had already been summoned and that they were beginning to gather.This would be the first time I had ever personally ordered the council to assemble.Because of that, I knew their minds would already be racing with questions. They would be wondering why I had called them together so suddenly… and more importantly, what I intended to reveal.But they wouldn’t have to wonder for long.They were about to find out everything when I'm through.While Idara slept peacefully, I decided to visit Violet. When I arrived at her quarters, her maid Rose was the first to notice me.She bowed immediately.“Please wait here, Alpha. I will inform my lady that you are here.”I nodded and took the seat she offered.Rose hurried away to relay the message, but just as she went out of view, a familiar scent reach
HelioLetting Idara go to work was risky, but I had no idea how to explain that to her without causing an argument. Knowing her, she would immediately protest and insist on going anyway. For now, I decided to allow it, but I would make sure her security was increased.The fact that she was human made everything worse. She was far more vulnerable than the rest of us, and our enemies would not hesitate to use that against her, just as they once used my own weaknesses against me.Yes, my Alpha power had finally awakened, but that didn’t mean everyone would suddenly fall in line or accept my authority without question. If anything, it meant they would become even more determined to challenge me.And now that they knew I had a weakness, they would exploit it.My mate.The thought alone tightened something painfully in my chest. If they ever turned her into a target just to get to me… I didn’t know if I could endure that.The bathroom door opened, pulling me from my thoughts.Idara stepped
EleanorOut of sheer generosity, I tried to extend a hand to Helio’s so-called human mate. But it seems she is just as stubborn and foolish as the man she’s tied to. Very well. If she refuses my goodwill, then she will receive none of my mercy either. She needs to understand exactly what she has gotten herself into.Still, my biggest concern is Helio himself.Lately, he has been moving in the shadows far too often for my liking. His actions have become secretive, deliberate… almost calculating. Ever since that cursed power awakened inside him, he has grown far more confident, more arrogant, even. The timid boy he once was is long gone. Now he carries himself like someone who truly believes nothing can touch him.That change irritates me.Which is why I must be careful.Whatever I do next must be executed flawlessly. I cannot afford mistakes. Every move must be swift, clean, and impossible to trace back to me. Even if Helio and Danae would naturally suspect me, suspicion alone means no
OsborneWith most things settled, one problem still nagged at me: Bella. I couldn’t let her pull another stunt, so I picked up my phone and dialed Alpha Hamilton.He hesitated, then answered. “If you’re calling about my daughter’s little tantrums, you’re wasting your time,” he said — calm on the su
OsborneI was arranging the stack of papers on my desk when Alex walked in. He looked uneasy, his eyes darting briefly before meeting mine.“The Alpha is back,” he said, voice low. “He’s requested your presence.”I arched my brow and nodded. “And what about what I asked of you?”Alex gave a faint s
We invited them into the receiving room where we were all seated. The Alpha was the only one missing.“Excuse me for a moment, I need to bring my husband,” Luna Olivia said before stepping out.Not long after, Osborne’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen and stood. “Hey, I’ll be right back,” he s
HamiltonWalton should have called me by now. By this time, I should be hearing his voice telling me everything went as planned, that the job I gave him was finished. The magazines and news outlets should already be buzzing with the story of Osborne’s death. The entire North should be whispering ab
