Caspian POV

As I reach for the door to leave, it swings open, revealing Selene, who barely glances at me before sidestepping and entering the house.

I groan, frustrated, covering my face with my hands. I wasn't meant to speak to her that way; it only hit me how harshly I sounded when I noticed the change in her expression as she waited for me to finish. I realized too late that I walked out on her without letting her respond, consumed by anger and oblivious to the need to approach the subject thoughtfully and hear her side.

When I finally stand outside her door, hoping to apologize, I find she's not there. Before I can panic, one of the guards informs me she’s at the park. I spend the next few hours anxiously waiting for her to return, only to have her come back and give me the cold shoulder.

She rightfully had every reason to be upset with me for leaving her alone for two nights without any explanation. After Jessica expressed a desire to talk following training, we wandered through

    Lucian POVWatching from my mansion window, I observed as Selene was led away by the convoy. I grasped my staff, ready to take action.This was precisely what I wanted, and I planned to ensure there were consequences for everything. I made my way to the dungeon nearby.gang memberss howled in fury when I entered. I pulled out a money pouch and tossed it to the ground.“Inside, there’s gold. The first to kill will claim it.”“What do you want us to do?” they asked in unison.I smiled as I outlined my plan and handed them the convoy’s scent.“Consider the job done,” they assured me.I nodded at the guard, who opened the dungeon, allowing the gang memberss to rush out, excitement coursing through my veins.While Jessica attended to matters at the city house, I stepped into my study to grab a book. I noticed footsteps behind me.It was the Doctor.“Hello, Doctor. It’s been ages,” I sa

    Selene POV“Jessica is just a coward—a superficial girl who believes she can waltz right into the city and take control. We’ve put up with her long enough.”Vincent’s words echoed through the room as we kept our heads down. The revelation of Lilly and my son’s disappearance crashed over me like a tidal wave.This marked the second time I had been separated from my son, and words couldn't capture the depth of my pain.I glanced over at Caspian, who had been unusually quiet since his resurrection; his silence felt layered, as if he harbored a plan.“Jessica must be eliminated, and this time, we’re taking no risks,” Vincent asserted.He appeared to be the only one in the room fully committed, while the rest of us faded into shadows, grappling with the heartache of losing our boy.“How many rogues are with you?” Caspian finally broke the tension.“There are five thousand rogues,” Vincent replied, casting a

    Jessica POV“The boy is my friend’s. I want to raise him,” I protested. “You will have time to do that, but I can't allow him to be raised by another man,” he insisted, handing me a paper. “What is this?” I inquired. “A marriage agreement between us. Jessica is a thing of the past, and I need someone I can manage easily.” “I will never betray my wife’s love,” I replied angrily. “Either you do so, or face death,” he warned, fury in his eyes. Conflicted, I didn’t want to betray my wife yet feared for the child’s safety. Just as I was on the verge of signing the document, I hesitated, glancing at him. “What’s wrong?” he demanded. He seemed to contemplate something before saying, “Give me time to reconsider this proposal.” I nodded as he carefully reviewed the letter I’d almost signed before unexpectedly tearing it to shreds. “I was going to let you sign it, but changing my mind seemed wiser given what Jessica is capable of,” he remarked. “Okay…” I said, about to clo

    Lucian POVThe chill in the air persisted as I anxiously awaited Jessica’s arrival, growing weary of her unpredictability and lack of communication. The dynamics between us had taken a turn for the worse, largely due to her selfishness. She’d even allied herself with Rudolph, a notorious traitor from the East Coast City.Then came a heavy knock on the door, prompting me to rise from my bed and answer it. “Lord, we’ve received news of a young girl attempting to flee the City,” a soldier reported. “And how does that concern me?” I replied, irritation clear in my voice. “She’s carrying a child and wearing a golden necklace.” Golden necklace. The same one that Jessica had coveted and which had instigated the chaos in our City. I followed the soldier out to the City chamber, where a young woman was restrained, her hands chained, while a maid held a baby nearby. “Did you think you could slip away from East Coast City unnoticed?” I asked, a chuckle escaping me. “I have eyes everyw

    Selene POVMy heart raced as I dashed into the room to protect my child. The necklace around his neck glowed, signaling trouble ahead. “Babe!” Caspian shouted as he burst in. “What is it?” I replied. “Close the windows…” but it was too late. Flames erupted through the windows, sending everyone to the ground. I held my child tightly. “We need to escape!” I screamed. Jason hurried to the bed and pushed it aside, revealing a tunnel beneath. “This tunnel has been here for years. We need to use it; go in with the baby.” “And leave everyone else to die?” I protested. “We both know Jessica is after the child. Vincent and I will handle the creature.” An explosion shook the mansion, causing me to stumble. My baby cried. Lilly charged into the room, rushing to our side. “We need to act. So many city members are dying!” I handed her the child. “You must take care of him. Use the underground tunnel and run as fast as you can. The necklace will protect him.” “I can’t abandon everyone!

    Selene POVI asked the doctor, "What do you mean there’s no baby in her womb?" as he meticulously set his bag down and pulled out a potion. “Please wait a moment; I want to try something,” he replied, returning to his examination of the potion. I glanced at Caspian, who met my gaze with an intense look. Overwhelmed with the desire to walk up to him and slap him hard, I was determined to act on that impulse. “This will keep her stable for now. I hope we can find answers to the troubling issue at hand,” the city doctor said. I left the room, sensing someone following closely behind me, but I didn’t turn to check. Entering the garden, I made my way toward the stream and sat by the water. “I know you’re hurting.” “You have no idea what it feels like to be betrayed,” I replied. Selene approached and sat beside me, resting her hand on my shoulder. “You can’t let this consume you.” “I can’t believe you’re not even angry. Your wife cheated on mine, and you want me to calm down?” I s
