DORIAN'S POV

The moment the guard uttered those words, every trace of exhaustion vanished from my body. "His grave is empty." he reported fluently. For a second, the entire courtyard seemed to freeze around me. The wind stopped mattering. The palace walls disappeared from my awareness. All I could hear was the pounding of my heartbeat as the implications of those four words crashed into me.

Beside me, Logan's expression darkened instantly. “What exactly do you mean the grave is empty?" I deman

    DORIAN'S POVThe moment the guard uttered those words, every trace of exhaustion vanished from my body. "His grave is empty." he reported fluently. For a second, the entire courtyard seemed to freeze around me. The wind stopped mattering. The palace walls disappeared from my awareness. All I could hear was the pounding of my heartbeat as the implications of those four words crashed into me.Beside me, Logan's expression darkened instantly. “What exactly do you mean the grave is empty?" I demanded. The guard swallowed nervously. "We discovered it less than thirty minutes ago. The soil had been disturbed during the night. When the guards investigated, they found the coffin open." he explained and I felt a cold sensation spread through my chest. “What about his body?" I asked slowly, hoping to get a positive reply but even with the look on his face, I knew I shouldn’t be expecting anything positive from him.The guard lowered his gaze as he muttered gently, “It wasn't there." As soon a

  • The Beta's Regret: ONCE REJECTED, NOW MY EX'S QUEEN    CHAPTER 128

    DORIAN'S POVI woke up the next morning with my head still resting against Sera's chest. For a few seconds, I remained completely still, listening to the steady rhythm of her heartbeat beneath my ear while the events of the previous day lingered at the edge of my consciousness. The council meeting, Caden's triumphant smile, the accusations, and the probation all waited patiently to reclaim my attention, but for that brief moment, none of them mattered.Sunlight filtered through the curtains and painted soft golden patterns across the floor. Sera was still asleep. One of her arms remained wrapped around my shoulders while her fingers rested lightly against my back. A faint smile appeared on my face. The palace might have been falling apart around us, but moments like this reminded me why I kept fighting.Carefully, I lifted my head and adjusted the blanket over her shoulders. She stirred slightly but did not wake. I sat on the edge of the bed and released a slow breath. Reality immedia

    DORIAN'S POVThe moment the council chamber doors closed behind me, the weight I had been carrying all afternoon crashed into me with a force I was no longer strong enough to resist. I continued walking through the palace corridors because stopping would have drawn attention, and the last thing I wanted was for anyone to witness the cracks that were beginning to form beneath the calm expression I had forced myself to maintain throughout the meeting. The servants who passed me lowered their heads respectfully, but I barely acknowledged them. My thoughts remained trapped inside that council chamber, replaying every word, every accusation, every carefully planned move Caden had made. The man had returned to the palace for only two days and had already managed to reshape the balance of power. I hated myself for admitting it, but it was impressive.He had entered that meeting with everything prepared. Every document. Every statement. Every accusation. He had controlled the narrative befor

    ALPHA CADEN'S POVPower felt exactly the way I remembered. Not the throne or the office. Power was the look in people's eyes when they realized they could no longer challenge you without consequences. It was the silence that settled over a room the moment you entered. It was watching people carefully choose their words because they understood that a single mistake could cost them everything.For two days, I had enjoyed every second of it. Two days since the council restored my position as Alpha of Voss Palace. Two days since Dorian's supporters were forced to watch the authority they thought was secure slip through their fingers. Two days since I reclaimed what always belonged to me.I sat behind the large desk inside the Alpha's office and slowly ran my fingers across the polished wood. The room had barely changed since my imprisonment. The shelves remained exactly where I remembered them. The paintings still hung on the walls. The massive windows still overlooked the palace grounds

  • The Beta's Regret: ONCE REJECTED, NOW MY EX'S QUEEN    CHAPTER 125

    SERA'S POV Dorian and I walked out of the gravesite hand in hand, but before we could leave the area completely, his steps suddenly came to a halt. The abrupt stop forced me to pause beside him. His fingers tightened around mine while every muscle in his body visibly stiffened. The change was immediate and unsettling enough to make my heart skip a beat. I looked up at him. His gaze was fixed on a particular spot near the edge of the cemetery. "How is he here?" he muttered loud enough for me to hear. A chill crept down my spine. "What are you talking about and who is here?" I asked slowly. Instead of answering, he released my hand and started walking toward the figure standing beside the gravesite. My confusion deepened immediately and I hurried after him. The closer we moved, the clearer the figure became. Then I saw the face. Caden was standing beside the grave site. A deep frown settled on my face. The man stood there as though he belonged among the mourners. A sinister smile re

  • The Beta's Regret: ONCE REJECTED, NOW MY EX'S QUEEN    CHAPTER 124

    DORIAN'S POVThe sound of the priest's voice echoed across the cemetery, but I barely heard a word he was saying.My attention remained fixed on the polished wooden coffin resting inside the open grave before us while a cold wind swept through the burial grounds and carried the scent of freshly turned soil through the air. Two days had passed since the hospital informed us that Dr. Kade was dead, yet the reality of it still refused to settle properly in my mind. Every time I convinced myself that he was truly gone, another memory surfaced and reminded me how impossible it felt.The man had survived years of imprisonment for a crime he did not commit. He had endured manipulation, threats, and secrets that would have broken most people long ago. He had fought his way through darkness only to die from something nobody could explain. Even now, standing before his grave, I felt as though I was attending the funeral of someone who should have had decades of life ahead of him.The priest con
