All Chapters of Reborn for the Lycan king : Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Aria’s POV “So do I, because perhaps things would have been different if I had known that somewhere in the world I had a sister who might have wanted me,” he replied, smiling sadly.I reached across the table and touched his hand.“I cannot change the years we lost, Kael, but I do not want to lose any more time now that I know you exist.”His eyes became glossy.“I would like that very much.”The moment was almost painfully sincere until Derek appeared behind us carrying two plates of food.“I have been looking for Aria for twenty minutes, and apparently she has been hiding in the garden having emotional family conversations without inviting me,” he announced, placing one plate in front of me.Kael looked at him.“Do you always arrive carrying food when people are having serious conversations?”Derek sat beside us.“I have discovered that food improves almost every emotional situation, and considering how much crying this family has done lately, I think my strategy is scientifically

Aria’s POV “Then who left it,” I asked.“We do not know yet, but we are going to find out.”I looked at Kael.He was staring at the symbol with an expression I could not read.Then he looked at me.“I think someone knew I was coming before I arrived.”The words sent a chill through me.I looked toward the darkening forest.For several seconds, everything remained still.Then somewhere beyond the trees, a branch cracked.The guards immediately drew their weapons.Eros stepped in front of me.“Stay behind me, Aria.”Kael moved closer to us.Derek and Daniella came running from the pack house, both of them looking alarmed.“What happened,” Derek asked, gripping his weapon.Eros kept his eyes on the forest.“We heard something.”Derek looked into the darkness.“I am beginning to miss the days when our biggest problem was Daniella stealing my breakfast.”Daniella glared at him.“This is not the moment to discuss my excellent breakfast strategy.”Despite the fear surrounding us, Kael laugh

Aria’s POV “The first time, I was thirteen, and the man who had been giving me work disappeared the next morning, although everyone told me he had simply left town,” he said, his expression becoming distant.He took a breath.“The second time was years later, when I was working near the eastern mountains, and a stranger came asking questions about my mother, although I never understood how he knew her name,” he continued.He looked back at the symbol.“The third time was two weeks before I came here, and that was when I realized someone had been following me,” he said.My stomach tightened.“You never told me any of that,” I said, my voice quieter than I intended.Kael looked at me.“I did not know whether telling you would make you believe me or make you think I was bringing danger into your life,” he replied, and there was genuine pain in his expression.Eros studied him carefully.“Why did you come here if you believed someone was following you,” he asked.Kael looked between us.

Aria’s POV I reached for Kael's hand again.This time, he held mine without hesitation.“You are my brother, Kael, and whatever happens next, you are not going to face it alone,” I told him, looking directly into his eyes.He squeezed my hand.“I spent my whole life believing I had nobody, and now I finally understand what my mother meant when she told me that one day I would find the family I had been denied,” he replied, his eyes filling with tears.I pulled him into another hug.Behind us, Eros moved closer and rested one hand on my shoulder.The pack stood silently beneath the trees.Nobody knew who had carved the message.Nobody knew who had been following Kael.Nobody knew why my father had hidden his son for so many years.But as I looked at the fresh carving beneath the moonlight, I understood one thing with absolute certainty.My brother had finally found his home.And whoever had spent years trying to keep him from it had just declared war on the family that would now prote

Aria’s POV “You see, this is why I like him.”I smiled.Kael had changed since his arrival.Not dramatically.He was still cautious around strangers, and there were moments when he seemed almost surprised that people expected him to stay.But he had begun to laugh more.He ate meals with everyone.He trained with the warriors.He spent time with the healers.He listened when people brought concerns to him.And sometimes, when I watched him walking through the courtyard, I could almost imagine that he had grown up here.That thought made me happy.It also made me nervous.Because if something happened to him, I knew I would never forgive myself.The evening before the coronation, I went to the old storage room where my father's ceremonial belongings were kept.I wanted to see the crown before it was placed on Kael's head.The room smelled of old wood and polished metal.I found the crown inside a velvet-lined box.I touched it carefully.Memories flooded through me.My father wearing
