ALPHA CADEN'S POV

I sat alone in the secluded location that had become my home ever since I left the palace prison, staring through the cracked window at the endless stretch of forest surrounding the building. The place was forgotten by civilization.

Ancient ruins stood scattered throughout the woods like ghosts of a dead era, and nobody came here anymore. The irony of my situation was almost amusing. For months, I sat inside a prison cell with iron bars separating me from the world. Now I li

  • The Beta's Regret: ONCE REJECTED, NOW MY EX'S QUEEN    CHAPTER 144

    SERA'S POVI didn't know what woke me up. One moment, I was asleep beside Dorian. The next, my eyes were open. The darkness inside the room greeted me immediately and for several seconds, I simply lay there staring at the ceiling. My heart was beating strangely. Not fast enough to suggest danger. Not slow enough to suggest calmness. It felt like anticipation. Like some part of me already knew something was about to happen.I slowly turned my head toward Dorian. The soft glow from the dying fire illuminated part of his face. His eyes remained closed. His breathing remained steady. Peaceful. Normal. I found myself staring at him longer than necessary. After everything we had been through recently, seeing him asleep felt strangely comforting. At least one thing still looked normal. At least one thing hadn't changed.My chest tightened unexpectedly. The memory of yesterday immediately returned. The contract. The One. Alpha Caden's confession. The kingdom I supposedly belonged to. The debt

    DORIAN'S POV"Sera is missing." I muttered as the realization slammed into me so violently that for a moment, I genuinely forgot how to breathe. I stood outside her locked office, staring at the attendant as though repeating the words would somehow change them. It didn't. Lady Sera never came here today. The statement echoed inside my head repeatedly. Each repetition made the growing sense of dread inside my chest worse. Because if Sera hadn't come to her office, then the guard who claimed to have seen her leave our chamber this morning had either lied to me or someone had manipulated his memory.Neither possibility was acceptable.I turned sharply and left without another word. The attendant called after me, but I ignored her. The only thing that mattered now was finding Sera. My footsteps echoed violently throughout the corridor as I headed straight toward the security wing. The palace suddenly felt unfamiliar. Every hallway seemed longer. Every corner seemed darker. Every second fe

    DORIAN'S POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes the next morning was that Sera wasn't beside me. For a few seconds, I remained still, staring at the empty space where she had slept only hours ago. The blankets were slightly disturbed. The pillow still carried the shape of her head. She hadn't been gone long. At least that was what I told myself. After everything that had happened yesterday, finding the bed empty immediately unsettled me.I sat upright and rubbed a hand across my face. The room felt unusually quiet. Too quiet. Normally, Sera would already be awake by this time, organizing something, reading reports, or complaining about how much work had piled up while she was unconscious. The silence felt wrong. I climbed out of bed and walked toward the window. The palace grounds below had already come alive. Guards moved through their patrol routes.Servants hurried between wings. The palace continued functioning despite the chaos threatening to tear it apart. For a bri

    DORIAN'S POVThe tension inside Alpha Caden's chamber became unbearable long before the conversation ended.Kade demanded answers. Caden continued revealing pieces of a truth that should have remained buried decades ago. Valthera looked like she was carrying the weight of an entire kingdom on her shoulders. The healers stood frozen. The guards avoided looking at one another. And in the middle of all that chaos stood Sera. The more the conversation continued, the paler she became. At first, I thought she was simply overwhelmed. Anybody would have been.Within a few hours, she had learned that her entire life might have been built on secrets, that a kingdom she couldn't remember was somehow connected to her existence, and that an ancient being called The One intended to collect a debt everyone seemed terrified of. That alone would have been enough to break most people. But what worried me wasn't what she had learned. It was the way she had stopped reacting.The moment someone becomes to

    DORIAN'S POVThe moment the figure stepped through the doorway, my entire body froze. My hand slipped from Sera's without me realizing it. For several seconds, I could only stare. Because the man standing in the doorway was supposed to be dead. Not missing. Not hidden. Dead. I had seen people mourn him. I had watched healers speak about his legacy. I had heard stories about the tragedy that destroyed him. Yet he stood before us now. Alive. Breathing.Looking older than I remembered but very much alive. The room fell silent. Even the healers stopped moving. Nobody knew what to do. Nobody knew what to say. I was the first person to find my voice. "Dr. Kade?" I said slowly and moved forward slightly to confirm if what I was seeing was right. His gaze shifted toward me briefly. Recognition flashed across his face before disappearing. "What are you doing here?" I asked again but Kade didn't answer. What he did next shocked me. Instead, he walked into the room. Not hurriedly. Not cautiousl

    SERA'S POV"You have to die so your soul can return to The One." For several seconds, I genuinely believed I had heard him wrong. The room became eerily quiet after the words left Alpha Caden's mouth. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. The healers stood frozen. The guards near the door looked uncomfortable. Even Valthera lowered her head as though she couldn't bear to look at me. My heart slammed painfully against my ribs. I stared at Caden. Waiting for him to correct himself. Waiting for him to explain that I misunderstood. Waiting for someone to laugh and tell me this was some horrible joke.Nobody did. The silence stretched longer. And with every passing second, reality settled deeper into my chest. He meant every word. My legs suddenly felt weak. The room seemed to tilt slightly around me. I blinked several times. Yet nothing changed. Caden still lay on the bed. Valthera still looked guilty. And everyone else still looked like they were attending a funeral. Except the person whose funera
