Chapter 151: The Witch TrialZADEThe crowd was buzzing with anticipation, their eagerness overwhelming me a bit as I forced myself to remain focused on the trial.I scanned the room, looking for any sign of Lynn or Lumina and near the front of the room, I spotted Lynn and Lumina being escorted to their seats by guards. Instead of chains or restraints, they were simply flanked by pack warriors - it was a small mercy I'd been able to negotiate with the elders, earlier today. I didn't want the pack to know that their Luna was being held captive for a crime that they didn't commit. And I needed to make it up to Lumina and Lynn somehow.Lynn's eyes found mine immediately, and the hatred burning in her eyes was so intense it nearly made me stagger.I forced myself to look away and took my place at the front of the hall, where the elder council was already seated. All the elders were there. Old men that my father had appointed who were the ones who made new rules or put away existing ones.

Chapter 153: The Family HuntXENOISThe scent trail through the forest was easy enough to follow, without doubting if we were headed the right way, even for someone whose tracking skills were probably that of a novice. Sophia's blood had left a clear path through the forest, especially on the undergrowth, dark droplets on leaves and trees bark that told the story of her desperate flee from my parents'penthouse.I walked behind my parents, watching the way they moved together, walking hand in hand, like predators who had hunted as a pack for decades. My father kept his nose and eyes to the ground, focused on following the scent without leading us astray, while my mum walked beside him holding a red jerrycan in her hand, that sloshed ominously with each step.The anger I felt toward Sophia burned hot in my chest, but it was also tempered off a bit by a growing unease about what exactly my parents had planned for her. I'd expected them to want justice for her crimes, but there was some

Chapter 155: The Long DriveXENOISThe drive to Zade's territory felt endless, every mile stretching out like an eternity as guilt gnawed at my conscience. I gripped the steering wheel tighter, my knuckles white with tension as I replayed the events of the past few days over and over in my mind.Behind me, Riley was absorbed in his tablet, the soft sounds of whatever game he was playing providing a backdrop to my internal torment. He looked so small in the backseat, still pale and fragile from his ordeal, and the sight of him made my chest tighten with regret."I'm a terrible father," I muttered, not really intending for Thorne to hear me.Of course, he heard me anyway. "What are you talking about?" he asked, turning in the passenger seat to look at me with concern."I left them," I said, my voice rough with emotion. "I left Lumina and Ollie alone in a strange pack while I was off dealing with my own problems. What kind of mate abandons his family when they need him most?"Thorne was

Chapter 157: Broken Promises LUMINA I sat beside Ollie's hospital bed, watching my son stare at the ceiling with empty eyes that broke my heart into a thousand pieces. He'd been like this since I'd been released from the dungeon and finally allowed to see him - withdrawn, quiet, speaking only in fragments that made no sense to me.The relief of seeing him alive and breathing had been overwhelming, but now I was faced with a different kind of terror. This wasn't my vibrant, talkative little boy who usually chattered nonstop about dinosaurs and adventures. This was a hollow shell of himself, and I had no idea how to reach him."Ollie," I said softly, reaching out to smooth his dark hair away from his forehead. "Talk to me, sweetheart. Tell me what's wrong."He turned his head toward me, and for a moment his eyes brightened with something that looked like hope. But then it faded, replaced by that terrible emptiness that had been haunting his expression since I'd arrived."Where's Daddy

Chapter 159: A Tearful Reunion.LUMINAI stood frozen in the hallway, my mind reeling from Xenois's revelation. Riley was my son. My baby. The child I'd spent months resenting was actually my own flesh and blood, stolen from me before I'd even known he existed. I didn't know how to process all this. It seemed surreal to me. A part of me was waiting for my mate to say it's a joke and bring out Sophia from where she was hiding. But he wouldn't be that cruel.My hands trembled as I stared back toward the hospital room, where I could still hear the soft murmur of the boys' voices. Everything I thought I knew about my family, about my marriage, about the past six years, had just been turned upside down."I need proof," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "I need to be absolutely certain. The last paternity test showed Sophia as his mother."Xenois nodded, understanding flickering in his eyes. "We'll get another test done immediately. But Lumina, I know this is hard to process, but I need
