71. Loosing Everything

"Isla, sweetheart." Melania called softly as the little girl happily ate her breakfast.Isla looked up and smiled. "Yes, Mama?"Melania exchanged a brief glance with Raymond before turning her attention back to her daughter."Tell me something. You've always missed your twin brother, haven't you?"Isla nodded without hesitation. "I miss him every day."Melania reached across the table and gently held her daughter's little hand. "What if. What if your brother never died? What if he has been alive all this time? What would you do?"Isla blinked in confusion. She tilted her head innocently. "Then we would bring him home, Mama."She smiled brightly before asking, "But why are you asking me this?"Melania's eyes became misty. She gently stroked Isla's hair. "Because your brother didn't die. He was taken away from us. He was stolen."For a few seconds, Isla simply stared at her mother. She didn't even blink. Then excitement suddenly lit up her face."My brother is alive?"Melania nodded wit

72. Mother Son reunion

Cyrus stood outside Kenji's bedroom for a long moment. His trembling hand slowly reached for the doorknob. With a soft click, the door opened. The room was dimly lit by the moonlight streaming through the window.Kenji lay asleep on his little bed, his tiny body curled beneath the blanket. His peaceful face was a sharp contrast to the storm raging inside Cyrus's heart. For several seconds, Cyrus simply stood there. He couldn't bring himself to move.This was the same room. The same room where he had once found his son unconscious after Athena had locked him inside as punishment. That memory stabbed his heart mercilessly.Slowly, he walked over and knelt beside the bed. His eyes never left the little boy sleeping peacefully. How many nights had Kenji cried himself to sleep? How many times had he silently begged for help? And where had he been?Working.Trusting the wrong woman.Failing as a father.With trembling fingers, Cyrus gently held Kenji's tiny hand. It was so small and fragile

73. Is Isla My Daughter?

“I know a single 'sorry' can never make things right.” Cyrus's voice was hoarse. His head remained lowered, unable to meet Melania's eyes. “I'm deeply sorry for everything you had to endure over these past six years. If I hadn't believed Athena... if I hadn't brought her back into my life... if I hadn't divorced you... none of this would have happened.” His fingers curled into fists at his sides. “I can't undo the past. I can't erase your pain. But I'll do anything within my power to make amends. Just tell me... what do you want from me?” Before this conversation, Cyrus had asked to speak with Melania alone. Raymond had been reluctant to let his wife meet her ex-husband in private. However, after Melania assured him it was only to discuss Kenji, he reluctantly agreed. Now, silence stretched between the former mates. Melania looked at the broken man standing before her. The proud Alpha who had once shattered her heart now couldn't even lift his head. “I don't blame you for everyt

74. Goodbye son

Cyrus couldn't even lift his head. Every word was true.“When I found out I was pregnant, I was terrified. I kept wondering how I should tell you..I decided I'd tell you after you returned from your business trip.”A hollow laugh escaped her lips. “But you came back with Athena. And before I could tell you anything. You threw divorce papers at my face.”She looked straight into his eyes. “So tell me, Cyrus. When exactly was I supposed to tell you? The moment you told me you were leaving me? Or after you chose another woman over your own wife?”Cyrus remained speechless. There wasn't a single word he could use to defend himself.“You have no right to blame me for keeping Isla's existence a secret. You made that choice yourself the day you walked away from our marriage.”Her voice softened, but the pain remained. “I'll never stop you from being their father. They deserve to know you. But don't expect me to forget what happened. Some wounds heal. But they never disappear.”With that, Mel

75. Where is Isla?

MELANIA…..“When have you thought about telling Isla the truth? You know you can't hide the truth forever. Isla is a smart kid. She will understand very soon that I'm not her biological father but Cyrus. If you hide the truth, she may hate you for that. It's better to tell her the truth sooner,” Raymond told me while I stood before the floor-length window, looking outside at the pack before me.I sighed heavily.“I know, Ray. I know I can't hide it from Isla forever that Cyrus is her biological father. I'm just afraid of whether she will be able to accept the truth. It won't be easy for a child to suddenly learn that the man she has called Father all her life isn't her biological father, but someone else she has never even met before.”He walked over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. I looked over my shoulder with a heavy heart. He pulled me into his embrace, and I rested my head against his chest, seeking comfort from the man who had always been my safe place.“Everything will

76. The Revelation

MELANIA…..Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door.“Mom.”I heard Isla's voice from the other side.“Come in.”The door opened, and Isla stepped inside.“Come here, sweetheart.”She walked toward us, and I gently made her sit on the bed in front of me. She looked at me with confusion.“What's wrong, Mama? Is everything okay? You look worried sick. Did something happen?”I couldn't help staring at her in awe. My baby girl had grown so much. She could understand the emotions on people's faces now. She could sense when something was wrong, even when no one said a word. I was so proud of her.“Nothing bad happened, my Princess. You don't have to stress that little head of yours,” Raymond said, kneeling in front of her and taking both her hands in his.“Your mother just has something important to tell you.”Isla looked at him, then at me.I slowly kneeled beside Raymond. My heart was hammering inside my ribcage. My throat had gone completely dry. I had practiced this moment countless times
