Chapter 181

Raquel felt as though all the warmth had drained from her body.Her hands were cold.Her legs felt weak. And every step had become harder than the last.She had no idea when someone would finally expose her.She didn’t know whether she would be questioned, imprisoned, or executed.The uncertainty was the worst part.At least a sentence would have given her an answer.This endless waiting was far more terrifying.She wanted to cry.Instead, she kept her head lowered and said nothing.She made herself as small as possible, hoping everyone would simply forget she existed.When they finally reached the guest palace, even the Red Moon Pack’s warriors couldn’t hide their surprise.The building was enormous.It was even larger than their own packhouse.Several of them quietly looked around as they walked through the entrance, taking in the polished stone floors, towering pillars, and elegant decorations.Large baskets filled with clean clothes had already been prepared for them.The elite wa

“But wasn’t the Red Moon Pack’s Luna supposed to have disappeared?” the Royal Beta said, rubbing his forehead. “If that’s really her, then why bring her here? Did they finally find her? Are they handing her over to face punishment?”The more he thought about it, the less any of it made sense.Every answer only created two more questions.It felt like they were chasing the truth through a maze that had no exit.The Alpha King rested his chin against his hand.“Or…”He frowned.“What if that’s not even his Luna?”“What if he found someone who looks like her and brought her here to take the punishment instead?”Even as he said it, he wasn’t convinced.There were simply too many missing pieces.Neither of them had enough information to reach a real conclusion.The only person who could truly explain what had happened inside the Red Moon Pack was Victoria.Everything else was nothing more than guesswork.One thing, however, was beyond debate.Whoever that woman really was, her future didn’

Chapter 183

What the two guards didn’t realize was that the Royal Guards assigned to the twins had heard every word through the mindlink.The response was immediate.Have the two of you lost your minds?The mental scolding hit them so hard that both guards nearly flinched where they stood.You’re guarding the Princess’s Palace, not a marketplace.Do you intend to announce to the entire kingdom that the princess has already returned?What happens if the wrong person overhears you?The rebuke continued without mercy.Victoria’s return was supposed to remain a secret.The fewer people who knew, the safer she and the twins would be.One careless conversation could destroy months of careful planning.By the time the lecture ended, the two guards looked ready to cry.Before their shift was even over, they were removed from their posts and reassigned elsewhere.A guard who couldn’t keep a secret had no business standing outside the Princess’s Palace.Victoria, meanwhile, walked on in silence.Now she kn

From the way her father looked at her, Victoria knew he was testing the waters.He already suspected something.Maybe he even knew more than he was letting on.She had expected this moment to come sooner or later and there was no point hiding the truth from her parents.Still, this wasn’t the time.They were sitting at the dinner table.Other people were present.This conversation deserved privacy.Victoria met her father’s eyes and smiled.“Father,” she said with a teasing laugh, “why would I be nervous?”“It’s your birthday celebration.”“Not mine.”At the same time, she held his gaze for just a little longer.The message was clear.Later.The Alpha King understood immediately.A small smile crossed his face before he quietly returned to his dinner.He hadn’t really planned to ask about Carlisle tonight.He had promised himself he wouldn’t force Victoria to relive painful memories before she was ready.The problem was that his own thoughts had become impossible to control.For days,

Omegas were usually the first to fall sick whenever there was an outbreak of any sort.Their bodies were naturally more fragile than those of Alphas or Betas, and because most of the palace staff were omegas, they were the obvious place to begin the investigation.The search wouldn’t stop there.The Alpha King also ordered quiet inspections throughout the capital.Noble households would be checked.So would merchants, shopkeepers, craftsmen, and ordinary families living within the city walls.Fortunately, the Werewolf Kingdom wasn’t like many human kingdoms.There were no slums in the Royal Capital.Their society worked differently.Werewolves lived as one pack.Some families possessed more wealth and influence than others, but status also came with responsibility.Nobles were expected to look after the wolves under their care.Even omegas working as servants received proper food, safe housing, and medical treatment.Their world wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t built on abandoning the we

For the time being, there was nothing left to do but wait. The blood samples had already been sent for testing and until the results came back, every answer they wanted remained out of reach. Several nurses carried in a basin of cool water and clean cloths. They gently wiped the twins’ foreheads, necks, and arms, hoping to bring down the dangerous fever little by little. Victoria stood nearby, unable to look away. Her boys looked so small lying there. So helpless. The hardest part wasn’t the fever. It was not knowing what had caused it. No one could give her an answer. The helplessness squeezed at her chest until it almost hurt to breathe. The Queen quietly walked over and wrapped an arm around her daughter. Victoria leaned against her mother without saying a word. Her eyes were red, and tears threatened to spill over. She forced herself to hold them back. If she fell apart now… Who would her sons depend on? They needed their mother. She couldn’t allow

That was why the Alpha King and Queen cared so deeply for Ophelia.It wasn’t simply because she was family.It was because they knew she had spent most of her life paying the price for mistakes that were never hers.She shared their blood.In their eyes, she had done nothing to deserve the life she had been given.Neither of them fully understood how her parents’ relationship had fallen apart so completely.They couldn’t understand how two fated mates had ended up hurting each other so badly.But whatever had happened between them, Ophelia should never have been dragged into it.She had grown up in the middle of a battle she never chose.She had become another victim of a marriage that had long since stopped feeling like one.The King and Queen couldn’t erase her past.What they could do was make sure she had a better future.That was why they brought her into the palace.Not out of obligation.Out of love.Here, she would have people to protect her.People who cared whether she had e

One page after another, the doctors carefully went through the reports. The longer they looked, the more serious their expressions became and the atmosphere in the room grew heavier with every passing second. Victoria couldn't help it. Her fingers tightened around each other until her knuckles turned white. She just couldn’t bear the silence any longer. “Is something wrong?” she asked quietly, unable to hide the fear in her voice. “Did you find out what’s causing their fever?” The doctor who had overseen the examinations finally looked up. He let out a long sigh before shaking his head. “I’m afraid… we still don’t know.” He handed Victoria a copy of the report before continuing. “We performed every blood test available to us.” “There are no signs of an allergic reaction to anything the young princes ate during dinner.” “Their blood work is otherwise completely normal.” He glanced back at the papers. “Based on everything we’ve found, the most likely diagnosis is

Chapter 189

Carlisle’s voice was cold, but he was still holding himself back.If they had been inside the Red Moon Pack, his patience would have snapped long ago.This, however, was the Royal Palace.He wasn’t in his own territory, and he refused to create a scene inside someone else’s home.He reminded himself that this place was supposed to be familiar to Raquel, not to him.That thought alone was enough to keep his temper under control.Raquel stared at him in disbelief.His jaw was tight.His lips were pressed into a thin line.Every muscle in his face looked strained, as though he was forcing himself not to explode.What shocked her most was that her pheromones hadn’t affected him at all.Instead of desire, she saw disgust.He looked as though even breathing the same air as her made him uncomfortable.“Please…” she whispered one last time.Her voice was so quiet it almost disappeared.Carlisle didn’t answer.He simply turned around and walked out of the room.The door closed behind him.That

Chapter 190

After seeing her parents off, Victoria stood quietly by the doorway and watched them walk down the corridor.Even after all these years, they still looked like the perfect royal couple.The Queen wore a royal blue velvet mermaid gown that fit her graceful figure perfectly. Long sleeves framed her elegant posture, while a flowing train trailed behind her. Woven into the rich fabric was the royal family’s crest, embroidered with such care that it seemed almost alive whenever it caught the light.Around her neck rested a magnificent sapphire pigeon necklace, and atop her golden hair sat the royal crown, decorated with rare rubies, pink diamonds, and blue diamonds that sparkled beneath the palace lights.Beside her walked the Alpha King in a white suit trimmed with deep royal blue. Draped over it was a long ceremonial coat bearing the same royal crest, making the two of them look perfectly matched.It was hard to believe they had an adult daughter.Like many powerful shifters, age had tou
