CHAPTER 120

ALPHA CADEN'S POV I sat alone in the secluded location that had become my home ever since I left the palace prison, staring through the cracked window at the endless stretch of forest surrounding the building. The place was forgotten by civilization. Ancient ruins stood scattered throughout the woods like ghosts of a dead era, and nobody came here anymore. The irony of my situation was almost amusing. For months, I sat inside a prison cell with iron bars separating me from the world. Now I lived inside another prison entirely. The difference was that this one had no bars but still, I was hidden and waiting for what was going to happen next. I have realized that waiting has become one of the grease skills I possess over the years and that meant power. I have seen people fail because they rushed and reacted emotionally. And it taught me to wait and be patient because I needed to survive. I have been here for weeks now and I have known exactly when Logan arrived and what time he lef

CHAPTER 121

DORIAN'S POVSomething was wrong with Dr. Kade.The realization had been sitting at the back of my mind for days, growing heavier with each passing hour until it became impossible to ignore.At first, I convinced myself it was exhaustion.The palace was dealing with one crisis after another, diseases were spreading through several territories, the palace was drowning in political tension, and the hospital had been receiving more patients than usual. It would have been reasonable to assume that Kade was simply overworking himself.The problem was that I knew Dr. Kade. He was the type of man who came alive whenever he was helping people. Medicine was not just his profession. It was his purpose. A tired Kade still smiled. A tired Kade still spoke passionately. A tired Kade still moved through hospital corridors like a man who belonged there.The man standing before me now looked nothing like that. I stood quietly outside one of the consultation rooms and watched him through the partially

CHAPTER 122

ENZO'S POVThe scream died in my throat before it could escape.I shot upright on the bed so suddenly that my entire body lurched forward, and for several seconds I could do nothing except struggle for air as sweat poured down my face and neck. My chest rose and fell violently, each breath sharper than the last, while my heart pounded against my ribs with enough force to make me wonder if everyone in the room could hear it. The darkness surrounding me should have felt familiar because I had slept in this room for years, yet nothing felt familiar anymore.Because I had never seen anything like that before.I pressed a trembling hand against my chest and forced myself to breathe slower.The dream. It did not feel like a dream.Dreams were blurry.Dreams faded.Dreams disappeared the moment you opened your eyes.This had not disappeared.Every detail remained painfully clear inside my mind.Every face.Every voice.Every hallway.Every single thing.I swallowed hard and wiped the sweat f

CHAPTER 123

SERA'S POV The moment I stepped into my room, I knew Dorian had been waiting for me. He was standing beside the window overlooking the palace grounds, his hands clasped behind his back while the fading evening light stretched across his face. From a distance, he looked calm, but I knew him too well to be deceived by appearances. There was tension in the way his shoulders were set and exhaustion in the way he stared into the distance as though his mind was carrying burdens too heavy to put down. The door clicked shut behind me. His gaze immediately shifted toward me. "You're back."he muttered and I nodded and slowly crossed the room. The events of the past few hours continued replaying inside my head, refusing to leave me alone no matter how hard I tried. Dorian noticed it immediately. "What happened?" He asked. I sat down on the edge of the bed and released a long breath before looking up at him. "Enzo told me about a dream he had", I replied and his expression changed instantly

CHAPTER 124

DORIAN'S POVThe sound of the priest's voice echoed across the cemetery, but I barely heard a word he was saying.My attention remained fixed on the polished wooden coffin resting inside the open grave before us while a cold wind swept through the burial grounds and carried the scent of freshly turned soil through the air. Two days had passed since the hospital informed us that Dr. Kade was dead, yet the reality of it still refused to settle properly in my mind. Every time I convinced myself that he was truly gone, another memory surfaced and reminded me how impossible it felt.The man had survived years of imprisonment for a crime he did not commit. He had endured manipulation, threats, and secrets that would have broken most people long ago. He had fought his way through darkness only to die from something nobody could explain. Even now, standing before his grave, I felt as though I was attending the funeral of someone who should have had decades of life ahead of him.The priest con

CHAPTER 125

SERA'S POV Dorian and I walked out of the gravesite hand in hand, but before we could leave the area completely, his steps suddenly came to a halt. The abrupt stop forced me to pause beside him. His fingers tightened around mine while every muscle in his body visibly stiffened. The change was immediate and unsettling enough to make my heart skip a beat. I looked up at him. His gaze was fixed on a particular spot near the edge of the cemetery. "How is he here?" he muttered loud enough for me to hear. A chill crept down my spine. "What are you talking about and who is here?" I asked slowly. Instead of answering, he released my hand and started walking toward the figure standing beside the gravesite. My confusion deepened immediately and I hurried after him. The closer we moved, the clearer the figure became. Then I saw the face. Caden was standing beside the grave site. A deep frown settled on my face. The man stood there as though he belonged among the mourners. A sinister smile re

CHAPTER 126

ALPHA CADEN'S POVPower felt exactly the way I remembered. Not the throne or the office. Power was the look in people's eyes when they realized they could no longer challenge you without consequences. It was the silence that settled over a room the moment you entered. It was watching people carefully choose their words because they understood that a single mistake could cost them everything.For two days, I had enjoyed every second of it. Two days since the council restored my position as Alpha of Voss Palace. Two days since Dorian's supporters were forced to watch the authority they thought was secure slip through their fingers. Two days since I reclaimed what always belonged to me.I sat behind the large desk inside the Alpha's office and slowly ran my fingers across the polished wood. The room had barely changed since my imprisonment. The shelves remained exactly where I remembered them. The paintings still hung on the walls. The massive windows still overlooked the palace grounds

CHAPTER 127

DORIAN'S POVThe moment the council chamber doors closed behind me, the weight I had been carrying all afternoon crashed into me with a force I was no longer strong enough to resist. I continued walking through the palace corridors because stopping would have drawn attention, and the last thing I wanted was for anyone to witness the cracks that were beginning to form beneath the calm expression I had forced myself to maintain throughout the meeting. The servants who passed me lowered their heads respectfully, but I barely acknowledged them. My thoughts remained trapped inside that council chamber, replaying every word, every accusation, every carefully planned move Caden had made. The man had returned to the palace for only two days and had already managed to reshape the balance of power. I hated myself for admitting it, but it was impressive.He had entered that meeting with everything prepared. Every document. Every statement. Every accusation. He had controlled the narrative befor

CHAPTER 128

DORIAN'S POVI woke up the next morning with my head still resting against Sera's chest. For a few seconds, I remained completely still, listening to the steady rhythm of her heartbeat beneath my ear while the events of the previous day lingered at the edge of my consciousness. The council meeting, Caden's triumphant smile, the accusations, and the probation all waited patiently to reclaim my attention, but for that brief moment, none of them mattered.Sunlight filtered through the curtains and painted soft golden patterns across the floor. Sera was still asleep. One of her arms remained wrapped around my shoulders while her fingers rested lightly against my back. A faint smile appeared on my face. The palace might have been falling apart around us, but moments like this reminded me why I kept fighting.Carefully, I lifted my head and adjusted the blanket over her shoulders. She stirred slightly but did not wake. I sat on the edge of the bed and released a slow breath. Reality immedia

CHAPTER 129

DORIAN'S POVThe moment the guard uttered those words, every trace of exhaustion vanished from my body. "His grave is empty." he reported fluently. For a second, the entire courtyard seemed to freeze around me. The wind stopped mattering. The palace walls disappeared from my awareness. All I could hear was the pounding of my heartbeat as the implications of those four words crashed into me.Beside me, Logan's expression darkened instantly. “What exactly do you mean the grave is empty?" I demanded. The guard swallowed nervously. "We discovered it less than thirty minutes ago. The soil had been disturbed during the night. When the guards investigated, they found the coffin open." he explained and I felt a cold sensation spread through my chest. “What about his body?" I asked slowly, hoping to get a positive reply but even with the look on his face, I knew I shouldn’t be expecting anything positive from him.The guard lowered his gaze as he muttered gently, “It wasn't there." As soon a
