Semua Bab The Alpha's Mistake-Reclaiming His Love : Bab 171 - Bab 180

KYLIAN'S POVIt’s been days since the tragedy happened and the house felt suffocating. Alex’s absence was like a shadow cast over everything. Without him, the house seemed empty. Aiden had barely spoken since we returned. The light in his eyes had dimmed. The spark in his eyes was replaced by a feeling that no child should ever bear. He refused to leave the house, isolating himself in the corners where he used to laugh.At meals, he stared at the empty chair that once belonged to Alex, his fork barely lifting to his mouth. When he did manage a bite, his eyes flickered to the seat as if waiting for his brother to appear. One afternoon, as I tried once again to coax him from his shell but he stood up and glared at me with his hands trembling. “Why didn’t you come for us?” His voice cracked “Why didn’t you save us from that monster?”The raw pain in his voice sliced through me. His words hurt me more than any knife ever could. I struggled to find words. My throat was tight with guilt.

COLE'S POVAfter I wriggled free from the tunnel, I bolted into the night, refusing to make the mistake of stopping. The city was eerily quiet, just as we’d hoped. I ducked behind a pillar as a group of guards rushed past. Their focus was on extinguishing the fire that blazed in the palace.Everything had gone according to plan.But no matter how much I tried to shove the images from my mind, they kept coming—Wez, bound, tortured. I’d offered to block the tunnel from the outside while he handled things inside, but he refused, insisting on his own capture.“We can’t risk both of us getting caught. It’s best this way,” he had said. He was right, but it didn't stop the sick feeling that twisted in my gut. I couldn’t bear the thought of him suffering because of me. I could only pray he’d survive long enough for me to return with help—long enough for me to find Kylian and restore peace to the pack.Wez’s sacrifice had to mean something. It couldn’t be in vain.And my mother… A lump rose i

COLE'S POVI almost smacked myself on the forehead. Why hadn't I just said this when I first saw her? It would have made things easier and sped everything up.Lorraine blinked, clearly stunned, and for a moment, she was speechless. She took a hesitant step closer. I could see the curiosity in her eyes, laved with fear and worry, and I planned to take full advantage of that. If I could get her on my side, I’d have a chance to speak to Kylian.“What’s wrong with him?” she asked in concern. “Nope,” I said, keeping my tone firm. “I’m not saying a thing until I speak with Kylian.”She drew back, clearly taken aback by how quickly I’d turned the tables on her.“Well,” she said “You’ll have to tell me first, so I know if it’s worth letting you see him.”I hesitated, unsure if I could trust her. What if Kylian didn’t care about his brother as much as I thought? What if he tossed me aside, just like everyone else had? After all, he had stepped down from the throne willingly. What if he ref

LORRAINE'S POV Rose had finally convinced me to let one of the nurses take Aiden to the children’s section. Though my heart ached to leave him, I knew he would be safe, surrounded by others his age. I watched him settle in. His cute face looked back at me with a smile before I turned away.Once we were sure Aiden was in good hands, I rushed after Rose, following her down the corridors to Oscar's ward. My heartbeat quickened with every step. I could feel an unshakable sense of dread building within me. When we burst into his room, the sight that greeted us left me frozen.Oscar lay battered, bruised, and broken. The bandage wrapped around his head, the casts on both legs, and the sheer number of cuts scattered across his body—he looked like a man barely holding on.“Oh Goddess,” I gasped, my hand flying to cover my mouth. The world tilted slightly as I absorbed the state he was in. Yet somehow, through all that pain, he managed a weak smile.“How did this happen?” My voice was barely

WES' POVI thought the goddess was punishing me. That was the only explanation for what my life had become.After days of endless torment, I'd stopped trying to survive. The pain was relentless, pulling at me until I was nothing more than a shell. Cole had promised to take care of Lorraine, and I believed him. He always kept his word, even when he acted like he didn’t care. There was nothing left for me to fight for. I wasn’t living—I was simply enduring, and each day brought new horrors.When Cole left, my world spiraled into endless agony. They introduced me to tortures I hadn’t known existed, using my body as a test subject for their newest, most sadistic weapons. I prayed for death, begged the goddess to take me, but she never did. I could still hear the sharp crack of the whip, the searing hiss as fire scorched my skin. My body was nothing but pain, a ragged thing barely holding on.My voice had long since given out. My screams echoed in the dark until they became part of the sil
