CHAPTER 180

ALPHA CADEN'S POVThe abandoned estate had long since become my sanctuary.Hidden deep within an overgrown forest where even hunters no longer ventured, the crumbling structure stood like the last memory of a forgotten kingdom. Moss covered the cracked stone walls, vines crawled through shattered windows, and the roof groaned whenever the wind swept across the trees. Most people believed this place was cursed. That belief suited me perfectly.Fear kept visitors away.Silence kept me alive.I stood beside the broken window, watching the thick forest sway beneath the evening breeze. Shadows stretched across the ground as the last traces of sunlight disappeared beyond the horizon. The wilderness had become familiar to me now. Every sound carried meaning.The rustling leaves.The distant cries of wolves.The snapping of old branches beneath wandering animals.Nothing escaped my attention.It was amusing, in a way.For months I had lived inside a prison cell, surrounded by walls and guarde

CHAPTER 181

DORIAN'S POVSomething about Dr. Kade refused to sit right with me.It wasn't a sudden realization. It had crept into my thoughts little by little over the past several days, growing heavier every time I saw him until ignoring it was no longer possible.At first, I dismissed it.The kingdom had been under relentless pressure. Reports of strange illnesses were arriving from several territories, political unrest continued to spread through the palace, and the royal hospital had become busier than it had been in years. Patients filled every corridor, physicians barely had time to rest, and everyone seemed to be surviving on determination alone.Naturally, I assumed Kade was simply exhausted.Anyone would have been.But the more I watched him, the more that explanation fell apart.I had known Dr. Kade long enough to understand the kind of man he was.Medicine wasn't merely his profession.It was woven into the very fabric of who he was.Helping people gave him strength instead of taking i

CHAPTER 182

Dorian’s POV The night after his conversation with Valthera. “Sera…. Sera please. Don’t do this”, I screamed at the top of my voice as I ran towards the palace gate, staring at transformed Sera in front of me charging towards the guards that are trying to block her with a force that cannot be explained or maybe I don’t have the time to explain at the moment. “Move, she’s going to hurt you”, I screamed at the guards and they moved away from the palace gate when Sera was just a few meters away from them. “Good”, I muttered and slowed down for a while. Just a few minutes ago when Sera and I were having a conversation in the corridor that leads to the palace gate, her mood suddenly changed. “I feel uncomfortable Dorian”, she had said with her usual calm and controlled voice which turned to screams in a few minutes and later turned into growls and animalistic sounds as she transformed fully into a wolf right in front of me. “Mama”, a tiny voice called behind me and I turned to see Enzo

CHAPTER 183

Dorian's POVThe evening after my unsettling meeting with Valthera should have been peaceful, but the weight of her words refused to leave my mind. Every sentence she had spoken echoed inside my head, twisting into darker possibilities with every passing hour. I had tried convincing myself that she was only manipulating me, that everything she claimed about Caden was another attempt to force my hand. Yet sleep came reluctantly, and when it finally did, it dragged me into a nightmare unlike anything I had ever experienced."Sera!" I shouted, my voice cracking as I sprinted toward the palace entrance. "Please stop!"Ahead of me, Sera was no longer herself.Her massive wolf form thundered across the courtyard, every stride shaking the stone beneath her paws. Guards rushed to intercept her, raising their weapons despite the terror written across their faces. They believed they could restrain her.They were wrong."Get out of her way!" I yelled desperately. "She'll kill you if you stay the

CHAPTER 184

Dorian's POV"Sera! Open your eyes!"The words tore from my throat as I caught her before she could hit the floor. Her body had gone completely limp, all strength draining from her in an instant. My heart pounded wildly while I lowered her carefully onto the bed, my hands trembling despite every effort to stay calm."Sera... please."I gently tapped her cheeks, hoping for any sign that she could still hear me. Nothing.The room had become unnaturally quiet, as though the strange light that had filled it moments earlier had stolen every sound along with it. Even the air felt different, thick and oppressive, pressing heavily against my lungs.Panic tightened around my chest.Only moments ago we had both been staring at those mysterious markings that had suddenly appeared across the bedroom wall. Neither of us had understood what they meant, but before either of us could react, Sera had simply collapsed.My thoughts raced through countless terrible possibilities.Had someone cursed her?

CHAPTER 185

Mila's POVThe room was quiet.Too quiet.I sat by the window with my legs tucked beneath me, absentmindedly turning my phone over in my hands while my thoughts wandered in circles. Outside, the palace gardens were alive with color. Birds fluttered between the trees, servants moved about their duties, and the breeze carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers through the open window.It should have been calming.Instead, I barely noticed any of it.No matter how hard I tried to distract myself, my mind always drifted back to the same person.My father.Alpha Caden.Ever since Logan revealed that he had escaped from the palace prison, I hadn't been able to think straight. When I first heard the news, I had been overwhelmed with relief. I remembered smiling so widely that my cheeks hurt. I remembered thanking the Moon Goddess because I believed he had finally been given another chance.But that happiness hadn't lasted.Not even a full day.Reality had slowly settled in.He hadn't been r

CHAPTER 186

Dorian's POVTwo days had passed since Valthera abducted Enzo and Damien.Although the twins were safely back inside the palace walls, my mind refused to move on from what had happened. Every conversation, every expression on Valthera's face, every word she had spoken replayed endlessly in my head, as though my mind was trying to uncover something I had overlooked.I sat alone in my office, my elbows resting on the polished wooden desk while my eyes wandered toward the wide window overlooking the palace courtyard.The palace looked peaceful again.Servants moved about carrying out their duties.The royal guards had resumed their patrols.Children could be heard laughing somewhere in the gardens.To anyone looking from the outside, everything appeared normal.But I had lived long enough to know that appearances were often deceptive.Peace on the surface did not always mean peace beneath it.A slow breath escaped my lips.Enzo and Damien had recovered surprisingly well from the ordeal.

CHAPTER 187

Dorian's POVThe heavy doors of the council chamber shut behind me with a dull thud, but instead of relief, the sound only reminded me that the battle inside that room was over—and I had walked out on the losing side.I kept moving.If I stopped now, someone would notice.Someone would see the exhaustion I had spent the last several hours burying beneath a calm face and measured words.The palace corridors were unusually quiet. A few servants stepped aside as I approached, bowing respectfully before continuing with their duties. I acknowledged none of them. My body continued walking on instinct while my mind remained trapped inside that council chamber, reliving every humiliating second.Caden had only been back at the palace for two days.Two days.That was all it had taken for him to remind everyone why he had once ruled with absolute authority.I hated admitting it, even to myself, but his strategy had been flawless.He hadn't walked into that meeting hoping to win.He had walked i

CHAPTER 188

DORIAN'S POVThe messenger's final words settled over the courtyard like a heavy storm cloud."His grave is empty."For a heartbeat, the world seemed to stop.The breeze that had been rustling through the training yard suddenly felt colder. Every sound faded into the background until all I could hear was the pounding of my own heart.Logan was the first to recover."Repeat that."His voice was calm, but there was enough steel in it to make the messenger flinch.The young guard swallowed nervously."The guards assigned to watch over Dr. Kade's burial site reported signs of disturbance just before sunrise. When they inspected the grave..." He hesitated, his face paling. "The coffin was open, my Alpha.""And?" I demanded."They found it empty."Silence.No one moved.No one breathed.My mind rejected the possibility almost immediately.Dr. Kade had been buried with full honors. I had stood beside his grave. I had watched every shovelful of earth cover his coffin. Soldiers had guarded the
