“This is Aiden’s car…” she thought as she immediately matched the brake, her foot pressing down harder than necessary, causing the car to jerk slightly before coming to a halt. Her fingers tightened around the steering wheel as her eyes locked onto the vehicle ahead. The doors were wide open, left ajar like whoever owned it had left in a hurry…or worse, been taken. The silence around it felt wrong… too still, too empty.Her brows pulled together as unease crept up her spine, a faint chill settling at the back of her neck. She leaned forward slightly, squinting as if trying to confirm what she was seeing, her heart giving a small, uncertain thud. But then she exhaled slowly and leaned back against her seat, shaking her head faintly.Aiden wasn’t the only one who drove cars like that.She was overthinking.People had similar cars all the time.Still… something about it didn’t sit right.Her fingers tapped lightly against the steering wheel, restless, hesitant. For a brief moment, she c

“Aiden…” James said, his throat dry, panic flickering uncontrollably in his eyes. His chest rose and fell too fast, like his lungs couldn’t keep up with the fear clawing at him. “Please…just listen to me. I can explain…”Aiden took a step forward.Slow.Measured.Terrifying.Each step echoed against the marble floor like a warning. Like a countdown.“Explain?” he repeated, his voice dropping lower…so low it almost didn’t sound him anymore.His jaw tightened.A vein pulsed at the side of his neck.His eyes darkened, something wild and unstable flickering deep within them.Rage.Barely restrained.“The only thing I want to see right now,” Aiden continued, his voice sharp, cutting through the air like a blade, “is your back… while you take your things and leave Red Moon Pack for good.”James flinched.“You are no longer my Beta,” Aiden added, each word deliberate, heavy. “You lied to me. You kept an important truth away from me and still had the nerve to stand in front of me every single

“Is it true that there’s no cure for the injury? And that you are going to die?” Ethan asked, his small voice trembling, his innocent eyes wide with fear.Aiden’s lips parted slowly, shock flashing across his face before he could hide it. For a split second, he froze, completely caught off guard. His chest tightened, and his heart gave a hard, painful thud against his ribs.That only meant one thing.Ethan had heard everything his father had said.“Shit…” Aiden muttered under his breath, dragging a hand down his face before forcing himself to steady.He crouched slightly in front of the boy, his expression softening instantly, masking every trace of fear, every ounce of truth. His fingers moved to Ethan’s shoulder, gripping gently, reassuringly.“That’s not true, Ethan,” he said, his voice calm, controlled…too controlled. “I’m okay. You know who I am, right?”Ethan sniffed, nodding slowly, his lower lip trembling.“You’re an Alpha…” he whispered.Aiden gave a faint smile, though it di

“I don’t know whom the true alpha is… if you want her so badly, go find her yourself…” Aiden said, his voice cold, clipped, leaving no room for argument as he turned and walked out of the office without waiting for a response. The door slammed shut behind him with a force that echoed down the hallway, the sound sharp enough to make a few nearby servants flinch. His jaw was clenched so tightly it ached, his steps long and aggressive as he strode forward, his shoulders tense, every muscle in his body coiled like something ready to snap.The moment he stepped out, his eyes landed on James standing just a few feet away from the door. Still. Stiff. Waiting. Watching.Aiden’s gaze darkened immediately.He didn’t need to ask.From the look on James’s face, the unease, the hesitation, the guilt sitting heavily in his eyes, it was obvious.He had heard everything.Aiden didn’t say a word at first. His eyes dragged slowly over James, sharp and cutting, before he brushed past him without a paus

The moment Damien walked away, Beta Greg immediately turned to Aiden and spoke at once.“Where is my daughter?” Beta Greg asked, his voice calm, but it was the kind of calm that carried pressure underneath it, like a storm refusing to break. His eyes didn’t blink as he studied Aiden’s face, searching for cracks, searching for truth.Aiden frowned slightly, confusion flashing across his expression.“I… I thought she was home,” he said slowly, as if trying to make sense of it even as he spoke it aloud.Beta Greg’s brows lifted a fraction, his calm beginning to thin.“Are you telling me she is not with you?” he asked, voice still controlled but sharper now. “Aiden, I hope you understand something…she has a child who needs her. A son who depends on her.”Aiden’s chest tightened at the mention.Greg’s jaw clenched as he continued, his voice lowering.“I lost her once,” he said, swallowing hard as something painful flickered in his eyes. “I thought she was dead for years. I failed her as a
