At the dining table, Aiden sat beside Arthur while Cassia sat directly across from him. Kate served the food quietly, bowing before she slipped out of the room, leaving a heavy silence in her wake.Arthur dug into his plate right away, humming lightly as he ate. Aiden’s gaze shifted to Cassia. She wasn’t eating. She was staring blankly at her plate as though it carried all the weight of her past. Slowly, her eyes lifted and met his.For a moment, Aiden forgot how to breathe. Those emerald eyes had once been his home, once filled with warmth and tenderness that melted him whole. But now? Now, all he saw was ice. In those eyes lay grief, betrayal, and fury and a reflection of every wound he had given her.Cassia’s heart clenched painfully. His stare dragged her back to the hospital room where she had sat broken and unconscious after Eva’s death, waiting for him to hold her. Instead, he had walked away, leaving her shattered and alone. That memory burned sharper than any blade.Arthur no

Henceforth, Mr. Cole Adams has been stripped of his title of Beta and is no longer a member of the council,” Aiden’s voice thundered across the room, sharp and absolute. The command carried his Alpha’s aura, and the entire boardroom froze in stunned silence.Gasps rippled around the table. Even Cassia’s eyes widened. She hadn’t expected that.Cole shot up from his chair, face twisted with rage. “No…you can’t strip me of my position! I’ve been in this council longer than you’ve been alive, Aiden. This title is mine, earned. You don’t have the right…”“I already did,” Aiden cut in coldly, his gaze like steel. “That is the price you pay for disrespecting my…” He caught himself, the word mate hovering on his tongue. His eyes flickered to Cassia, holding her for a beat too long before she looked away. His jaw clenched. “…for disrespecting her.”Cole’s face flushed red, his fists trembling. Desperate, he turned to Alaric. “Alpha Alaric, you’ve known me for years. Say something. Stop this m

James and Aiden stepped out of the hospital, the weight of Sofia’s words still hanging heavy in the air. Aiden’s jaw was tight, his fists clenched. His wolf snarled inside him, restless.They all still think she killed Eva… because of me. The thought cut through him like glass.“I want the press assembled in the pack house before I arrive,” Aiden growled, sliding into his car without looking back.James blinked, startled, then sighed. He’d seen this look before… the storm that always came when Aiden decided to act on impulse. The last time the Alpha had gathered the press, Amelia’s life had been torn apart in front of the whole pack. Now James could only wonder what damage or repair was about to follow.Still, he made the call.By the time Aiden’s car screeched to a halt in front of the mansion, determination had settled over him like armor. He strode past bowing maids, their greetings ignored, until he pushed through the double doors of the press room.Cameras flashed. Questions his

Inside the ward, Alpha Alaric paced back and forth, fury etched across his face. His phone was clutched tightly in his hand, call after call to his son going unanswered.“How could he do this?” he muttered through clenched teeth. “He’s the Alpha, yet he makes reckless decisions as though he were still a child. Going live on national news with that… nonsense. Amelia must have gotten into his head. Now the whole pack will turn on him. He’s making himself look like the villain.”He dragged a hand down his face, exasperation rolling off him.On the bed, Luna Donna shifted weakly, her cough breaking the silence. She managed to raise her head. “Do you think… he’s planning to go back to Amelia?”Alaric froze, then turned to her. He immediately poured her a glass of water and helped her drink. Once she set the cup down, his jaw tightened. He sat at her side, his voice low but hard.“Over my dead body will I let that happen,” he growled. “The only reason I allowed their union the first time wa

Aiden walked out on his father, leaving Alaric staring after him, still reeling. Never…never…had Aiden spoken to him like that. Defiant, threatening. All because of Amelia.Alaric’s fists clenched. His jaw tightened as rage stormed in his chest. She’s turned him against me. Against his own blood. He would bide his time, wait until Donna recovered, wait until the cure was secured and then Amelia would be dealt with. Permanently.When he lifted his head, his eyes landed on Sofia and James, both standing frozen at the base of the stairs, clearly having overheard. Their faces mirrored shock. Alaric’s glare lingered on them for a moment before he turned away and climbed upstairs. Donna needed him, and for now, that was where his loyalty lay.————Outside the school compound, Arthur sat on a bench, legs swinging restlessly. His first day had been long and strange. The teacher had been kind enough, but nothing felt like home here. Not yet. He missed Velaris.He sighed. His mother was late,
