Semua Bab My sister’s mate became my forbidden love.: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Lila's pov The room was still after the healer's statement — far too still, as though all the sounds were sucked from the room.I am still with child."I've never seen this occur before," she said to me. "It's rare — almost impossible. But sometimes, when there are twins involved, and one embryo gets terminated… the other will survive.” She was dreaming aloud. "Twins?" I exclaimed in astonishment. “I was carrying twins?” She nodded. "You could have had twins. The abortion would have killed one — but the other one might have lived. Maybe the other protected it, or maybe the gods themselves reached down and caught it. Whatever happened, the omens are here. You are still with a child, Lila.”I laid a shaking hand across my belly, a minute tremor of heat below. "But I felt it halt," I gasped. "I bled. I thought— I thought I lost my child, I did an abortion, donated a bone marrow… how could it survive all that?”She breathed out. "The body can be cruel in its secrets, child. This child

POV: AdrianIt was a blank sheet of paper and empty envelope: no name, no seal, no indication who sent it.But, however, I just couldn't look away.“See how the girl you left is doing before she kicks the bucket.” That line had gnawed at me throughout the night. I had tried to make an excuse for myself, about maybe it being a setup from one of my mother's minions, or simply her calling out my sorry ass again. Still, something about ..the girl you left…made my mind heavy and furrowed my brows.One person has to come to mind.Lila.Even the mere mention of her name wrenched something deep within me. Months had passed since the council meeting and her shoving out. Since I had told her to *“get out,”* for even looking upon her face made me empty myself of love in a mere moment, feeling a shade of anger.On that night with the bright moon in the palace yard, none of that seemed right.By morning, I had made up my mind.That very night was the Harvest Gala, a big celebration with dignitar

Adrian's POVThe palace had not felt like home for ages, not since that night when it became a judgment court: a place of lies and broken trust. But standing in the hallway outside the infirmary, that had to change, that is, not for power but for her.Lila.Watching her collapse on stage hit me hard. I messed up big time and let her fall. Then, when the healer dropped the bombshell news about the baby, something inside changed. All those walls I had built since her exile, they just crumbled.I am never going to lose her again. Not her, not the kid, not this time.So I gave my first order the next morning.“Get the Luna's rooms ready,” I told the steward. “Immediately.”His eyes went wide. “Your Majesty... you mean—”“Yeah,” I interjected. “Miss Hayes is moving out of the infirmary today. She's under my protection until she is okay” Then, straightening himself, he hesitated. “My King, the council will have something to say.”“The council will do what I tell them.” I replied, my tone

Victori's POVI stand in the balcony of my new rooms, watching the vast land before me.This was my son's idea of mercy — to exile me here under the guise of honor. Of course, it must look like privilege to the everyone else. To me, it is exile dressed in fancy"Your tea, my lady," Helena, my maid of many years, spoke softly as soon as she kept a tray beside me.I do not look back. My eyes are fixed on the horizon. "Do you hear it?" I whisper.She hesitates, confused. "Hear what, my lady?""The silence," I whisper. "It's… deafening ."Helena makes no comment, but merely bows and slips away silently. I am left to myself — the one company I've never not liked.For years, the palace was my symphony. Every whisper, every plot, every careful step in the game of power had been music to me. And now, silence is all I have. Silence, and the memories of what I destroyed.Everything I hated during the first week here — walls, food, and people. They looked at me suspiciously, and I could almost h

Adrein’s POVI have taken my normal position at the head of the ridiculously long table, whilst the council meeting went on. But today my head was a million miles away.“Your Majesty,” Councilman Harrod said, pulling me back to reality. "It's been weeks since Lady Victoria took over the Eastern Ridge Pack. To my knowledge, things are stable now, and they actually picked up production."I gave a nod, trying to keep my face blank. Yeah. You could call that restoring order. Letting her take charge, that was the right call. At least I hope it was.A few council members muttered their agreement. Then Harrod's Beta, Rhys, chimed in. "Forgive my bluntness, but some of us aren't so sure that putting her in charge was the smartest move."I didn't move even a single muscle but the room immediately changed, the atmosphere changed."Are you suggesting," I asked, "that I cannot trust my own mother?"Rhys hesitated, clearly regretting that he opened his mouth. "I was not intend to be offensive; it'
