After breakfast ended and the light conversation, which had mostly been initiated by Aldhen, the atmosphere inside the room slowly returned to calm.

Fay was still sitting beside the table, occasionally glancing toward the large window opened to the morning light. Her fingers slowly wrinkled the edge of her clothes unconsciously, while her gaze went blank several times, as though her thoughts were not truly in the room.

For some reason, even though the food she had consumed felt warm and safe, h

  • The Alpha's Secret Heir   157. The Color of Jealousy

    The jet's engines hummed softly, cutting through the thick layer of clouds and leaving the misty mountain territory of Aldhen behind them. Inside the quiet cabin, Aaron immediately took the seat right beside Fay.Not for a second did Aaron's strong hand release Fay's fingers. He held them firmly, his thumb moving over the back of Fay's hand in a soothing rhythm, as though constantly reassuring himself that his mate had truly returned to his embrace.Fay turned to look out the large window beside her. Below, the vast green expanse of the forest blended with the golden-orange hues of the setting sun. The view was magnificent and peaceful."Beautiful," Fay murmured softly, breaking the silence. "From up here, the earth looks so peaceful."Fay pressed her fingers against the windowpane, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the colors of dusk."Look at that, Aaron. The river down there looks like a shimmering silver thread. And that forest ... I can't believe there are gradients of color thi

  • The Alpha's Secret Heir   156. Wings of Protection

    After the main gate of the Stone Fortress disappeared behind the mountain mist, Aaron's group continued moving farther away from Aldhen's territory.The mountain wind blew harder, carrying the scent of wet earth and a coldness that pierced to the bone. However, within the ranks of the dominant clan's forces, the tension that had previously gripped them had melted away, replaced by a heightened state of vigilance to escort their Luna home.The rocky path they traveled gradually descended along the curve of the mountain slope. In some areas, towering cliffs rose beside the road, while a vast valley stretched far below.Fay walked beside Aaron with a hand that the man never truly released.Aaron's large fingers held her hand firmly yet warmly, as though he feared the woman would disappear if he let his guard down for even a second.Even whenever the path they traveled became slightly uneven, Aaron automatically slowed his steps so Fay would not have difficulty keeping up.Several meters

  • The Alpha's Secret Heir   155. The Secret That Must Not Be Exposed

    "What? No, that's impossible!" The disbelieving whisper slipped through Stanley's suddenly dry lips.Marcus merely shrugged briefly, enjoying the sight of the destruction on the man's face before him.Stanley stepped back half a pace, feeling as though a massive stone had struck his chest and left him breathless.He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to break through the defenses of those Singaporean businessmen. They were known for being extremely selective, cold, and untouchable by bribes or intimidation from werewolves. Even he, with all the connections he possessed, had never managed to obtain their full commitment.But Aaron? That young man had succeeded? In such a short time?"No, this must be a mistake. You must be bluffing," Stanley hissed, trying to find a crack in the lie.However, the clear and triumphant look in Marcus's eyes showed that all of this was a bitter reality he had to swallow."Aaron managed to convince them without your help, Stanley," Marcus said as

    Marcus remained silent for quite some time. Beneath the light of his study, his gaze remained calm, flat, and as deep as a dead lake. There was no flash of anger, nor was there any ripple of fear in them. To him, the threat Stanley had just made was nothing more than a passing gust of night wind.With a movement deliberately slowed to display dominance, Marcus leaned his back against the leather chair."Revenge has a unique way of making someone survive longer, Stanley," Marcus said, his voice heavy and hoarse, characteristic of an Elder who had weathered hundreds of storms.Stanley narrowed his eyes, irritated by the calmness of the man before him. "What do you mean by that nonsense?""You keep thinking about the scar on Jessi's face." Marcus looked straight at him, dissecting Stanley's expression without mercy. "That is clear proof that you still cannot truly accept reality. You are trapped by that revenge itself."Stanley's jaw hardened, the veins in his neck tightening as he held

  • The Alpha's Secret Heir   153. The Blood Oath Comes Due

    The midday sun shone brightly above the clan's main headquarters. The clan members' activities continued as usual. Several vehicles came and went through the main area, while guards stood watch at every strategic point with high discipline.A luxurious black car slowly came to a stop in the courtyard in front of the headquarters.The vehicle door opened. Stanley stepped out with a cold expression.Several guards immediately saluted respectfully when they recognized him. As one of the largest investors who had maintained a close relationship with the Elder for years, his arrival did not arouse any suspicion.But today, Stanley did not head toward the main hall. Nor did he intend to attend any official meeting. Without wasting time, he immediately walked toward the west wing of the main building, where Elder Marcus's private office was located.His steps were steady. His gaze was sharp. It was obvious that he had come with a specific purpose.Along the corridor, several men dressed in b

  • The Alpha's Secret Heir   152. Everything Went According to Plan

    Throughout the rest of lunch, Aaron smiled softly several times whenever he looked at Fay, who was still flustered. The lunch atmosphere, which had initially been expected to be awkward, instead became warm and filled with light conversation.Robert made several blunt comments that invited laughter, while Aldhen occasionally responded with brief remarks that always hit the mark.Even the elite hunters who had initially sat stiffly began to look more relaxed and became immersed in casual conversation with the others.Time passed without them realizing it. When the light conversation began to reach its end and the atmosphere slowly became calmer, Aaron suddenly straightened his posture. Without waiting for any signal or cue from anyone, he immediately took control and opened the final conversation."I think we should head back soon," Aaron said.The conversation at the table immediately quieted.Fay, who was sitting beside him, also gave a small nod, while Aldrick and Lucien, catching t
