Mag-log inChapter 202 Aurora’s POV I had imagined becoming a mother countless times. Sometimes, during the darkest moments of my life, I had wondered whether I would ever have a family of my own. Whether I would ever know what it felt like to be loved without fear of losing everything. Now, my daughter lay peacefully in my arms while my husband sat beside me, looking at her as though she were the greatest treasure in the world. Perhaps she was. “You’re staring again,” I whispered. Liam didn’t look away. “She’s beautiful.” “You’ve said that about fifty times.” “And I’ll say it fifty more.” I laughed softly. He leaned down and kissed our daughter’s forehead. “Look at those eyes, Aurora.” There was something about them that made the moment feel even more precious, a reminder of the people and stories that had become part of our lives. Our little girl carried pieces of a world much bigger than herself. And we would help her discover every part of it. A gentle knock
Chapter 201 Liam’s POV I had faced enemies without trembling. I had stood on battlefields surrounded by death, watched kingdoms burn, and fought for the people I loved. Yet nothing had prepared me for the tiny girl Cassidy placed in my arms. “Congratulations, Your Majesty,” she whispered, smiling through her tears. “You have a daughter.” A daughter. My daughter. I stared down at the little bundle resting against my chest. She was impossibly small, with delicate fingers curled into fists and a tiny nose that looked suspiciously like Aurora’s. Then she opened her eyes. Amber. Not golden like her mother’s wolf. Not the color of mine. Amber. I stopped breathing for a moment. Those beautiful amber eyes reminded me of Amber, whose story had touched our family in ways we would never forget. There was something extraordinary about seeing that familiar color in the face of our newborn daughter. “Look at her,” I whispered. Cassidy smiled. “She’s beautiful, Liam.” Beautiful was
Chapter 200Liam’s POVThe wedding was three days away, and my wife had decided that standing for ten minutes was a reasonable activity.I disagreed.“Aurora, sit down.”She turned to look at me, one hand resting beneath her enormous belly.“Liam, I’m perfectly fine.”“You’ve been standing for ten minutes.”“Eight.”“That’s not helping your argument, sweetheart.”She rolled her eyes, but the smile tugging at her lips betrayed her. I guided her toward the nearest chair and knelt in front of her, placing my hands against her belly.“Your father is becoming unbearable,” she whispered to our baby.“Our baby understands that her father is keeping both of you safe.”“Our baby also understands that her father needs to relax.”I kissed her belly.“Don’t listen to your mother. She’s clearly trying to corrupt you already.”Aurora laughed, threading her fingers through my hair.For a moment, everything was perfect.Then her smile disappeared.She gripped my shoulder.“Liam?”I immediately looked
Chapter 199 Aurora’s POV For the first time in my life, happiness felt ordinary. Not fragile. Not temporary. Just… there. It lived in the laughter that came from the dining hall every morning. In the sound of children running through the castle corridors. In the way people greeted one another without fear. And most of all, it lived in my family. I stood by the window, one hand resting on my enormous belly as I watched Liam outside. He was supposed to be helping with preparations for the upcoming wedding. Instead, he was sitting on the grass with Lucious, Ronan, and Liam’s father, laughing like they had forgotten they were supposed to be kings, future husbands, fathers, and responsible adults. I smiled. Five months ago, I never would have believed we could have this. After everything we had survived, peace still felt like a miracle. “Stop staring at your husband like that.” I turned. Grandma Rose stood behind me, holding a tray of fruit. “I wasn’t staring.” She raised
Chapter 198Lucious’s POVCassidy’s eyes widened.“You WHAT?”Bella burst into laughter, covering her mouth while I stood beside her, looking far too pleased with myself.“We’re having a baby,” I repeated.For a moment, nobody moved.Then Aurora squealed.“WOW!”She rushed toward Bella and wrapped her in a hug so carefully that Bella laughed again.“Congratulations!” Aurora exclaimed. “You’re going to be a mother!”“And you’re going to be an aunt,” Bella reminded her.Aurora pulled back, her eyes shining.“That sounds even better.”Liam laughed and pulled me into a hug, patting my back.“Congratulations, little brother.”I grinned.“Thank you.”Cassidy finally recovered from her shock and grabbed Bella’s hands.“Oh my God. It’s time to start planning another wedding!”Bella blinked.“What?”Cassidy looked at me.“You two aren’t getting away with anything. We already have one wedding in this family. We’re doing another one.”I groaned.“Cassidy”“No.” She pointed at me. “You got her pr
Chapter 197 Liam’s POV For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, we were all sitting together without anyone bleeding. That alone felt strange. Aurora sat beside me on the long sofa, her enormous belly resting comfortably against her thighs. I had one arm around her, my thumb lazily tracing circles over her shoulder. Across from us, Lucious was sitting with Bella tucked against his side. Cassidy was there too, laughing at something Lucious had said. It was peaceful. Ridiculously peaceful. I looked around at them and found myself smiling. These were the people I had nearly lost. My brother. My mate. My closest friends. The people who had stood beside me when everything fell apart. “Do you ever think about how ridiculous we all are?” Cassidy suddenly asked. Lucious frowned. “What do you mean?” “We’re sitting here like normal people.” Bella laughed. “After everything we’ve been through.” Cassidy shook her head. “Exactly. We survived a wa
Chapter 8 Raymond’s POV He raised his hand, and I caught sight of the strange mark—an intricate, three-clawed scar. I froze. That same mark was on Amber’s back. I stared at it, confused. He smiled knowingly. “You’ve probably noticed it on Amber.” “It’s always on a female’s back, but fo
Chapter 161AuroraI woke slowly, the world drifting back to me in pieces—soft voices, the faint scent of herbs, warmth everywhere. My body felt heavy, sore, but safe. Safe in a way I hadn’t felt in a long time.The ceiling above me wasn’t stone or iron.It was familiar.The castle.Before I could
Chapter 166 Scarlett I could see it in his eyes. He did not trust me. Damian leaned back slightly in his throne, fingers tapping against the carved armrest, gaze sharp and measuring. He was not a fool. He was ambitious, yes—but ambition without caution was suicide, and he had survived too l
Chapter 153 Liam Lucious stood near the window when I walked in, his arms crossed, his expression exhausted from everything that had happened. The moment he saw my face, he frowned. “Brother?” he asked. “You look like you haven’t slept in days.” I hadn’t. Not since Aurora was taken. I took a b
