تسجيل الدخولDamon povA moment later, the door to my meeting room opened, and Marcus returned with a man I have never seen before. He was young, maybe twenty, with hollow eyes and trembling hands. The scent coming off him was wrong, too sweet, artificial, like something was masking his natural smell.He was one of her engineered breeds, the ferals."Speak," I commanded.The messenger swallowed hard, reaching into his jacket slowly. He pulled out a sealed envelope, the wax stamp bearing the Northern Kingdom's crest. "Her Majesty, Queen Millen, sends her regards."I swallowed a growl that badly wanted to rip away from my throat. I took the envelope from James, breaking the seal with more force than necessary. Inside was a single piece of parchment, written in elegant script:*Alpha Damon,*“By now, you understand the futility of your position. My brother has returned home, where he belongs, and with even greater news than expected. The child he carries is of royal blood and will be raised as such.
Chapter 170: the messengerDamon's povJames' words hit like a physical blow. It took me all my willpower not to stagger back. "What?""The Alpha chen, from the pacific Pack withdrew their warriors yesterday. Said they couldn't risk being associated with a pack whose Luna is a traitor." He paused. "The desert moon Pack followed this morning. And I just got word that the Eastern Shore Pack is considering it."Each name felt like another knife to the chest where Milo's own was. These were packs I'd built alliances with over years. Packs that had sworn loyalty. And they were abandoning us now, when we needed them most."How many are left?" My voice sounded hollow even to my own ears."Only Rosalie, leader of the crimson moon pack have not made any official standFor now." James met my eyes. "Damon, this is exactly what the Queen wants. She's isolating us, weakening us. If you play into her hands by attacking…"A knock at the door interrupted him. Sharp, urgent."What?" I barked.One of t
The Aftermath of Shattered TrustDamon's POV"No, nooo. There had to be an explanation. Mind control, coercion, something...anything at all." I continued to mumble to myself, pacing back and forth in the destroyed safe house like a caged animal."Alpha..." Daphne's voice was weak, painful, even but it hardly reached me."He wouldn't do this. Not willingly. Not after everything we have been through." My hands shook as I ran them through my hair, pulling hard enough to hurt. The physical pain was nothing compared to the gaping wound in my chest where the bond used to pulse warm and steady, Now it was just... cold, stretching thinner and thinner as the seconds trickled by. "Damon, please," Daphne tried again. "We need to get these bodies…""Don't!" The word came out as a roar, instead. She flinched. I forced myself to breathe, to think past the rage and agony threatening to consume me. "Please, don't say it. Don't make it real."But it was real. No matter how I shut my eyes and cracked
Chapter 168Damon's POV - The Shattered TrustCaroline's laughter echoed across the border as my mind raced to process her words. Behind me, I felt my pack's tension ratcheting higher, especially James, who had moved closer protectively."His name is Milo," I said firmly, though doubt was beginning to creep in like poison. As if like an autopilot, I started remembering his weird suspicious behaviour he had been putting in lately."Milo is what he was called, because his parents couldn't bear the thought of calling him his real name." she said, examining her nails casually.“Why?” I gritted my teeth so hard I felt it crack. I know I shouldn't be asking, hell, I should signal my hidden armies to start attacking immediately, but something about everything felt off… it was like a nagging feeling at the bottom of my stomach.“Because he was a loser, a disappointment and a shame to his bloodline, and that of his ancestors.”My heart clenched painfully, even though I didn't know why yet.

going back homemilo pov"I can see it in your eyes."She said with a wry smile. "You destroyed my life.""I saved your life. And his." She looked out the window at the passing forest. "If I hadn't intervened, your newly awakened powers would override you, and you would have no choice than to fulfil your responsibilities. The power surge would have triggered the prophecy immediately. Damon would be dead now.""You don't know that.""Don't I?" She turned those pale violet eyes on me.I know a lot of things that your mind couldn't comprehend. Our grandmother and her mate. Both were true alphas, she had no choice than to answer her calling, both were dead within a day of her bloodline awakened. The mountain still bears the scars of their battle."I touched my stomach, where our child grew. "And the baby?""Insurance." She smiled. "A child of two such powerful bloodlines will be extraordinary. If raised properly, they could unite all packs under one rule.""Your rule.""Our rule, brother.
