Alle Kapitel von I Was Your Dying Omega, Now I'm Your Sovereign Alpha: Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

Lola’s Pov The penthouse was too quiet. Without the baby’s crying or the constant hum of the nanny moving around, the space felt like a museum. I stood in the middle of the kitchen, looking at the box that had been delivered to the service entrance. I didn't have anyone to talk to and nowhere to go. I just had this marble island and the package. I grabbed a steak knife and cut the tape. I pulled the cardboard flaps back and looked inside. There was a stack of photos on top. I picked them up, my fingers brushing over the glossy paper. It was my parents. They were standing on the porch of the old house, looking young and happy. I hadn't seen these in years. I didn't even know they existed. Under the photos was a heavy, cream-colored envelope. I pulled it out and felt the weight of it. The wax seal was dark red and thick. I broke it with my thumb and pulled out a piece of parchment that felt like it belonged in a different century. "Sovereign Betrothal Decree," I said to t

Lola's Pov The paper felt thick and cold against my fingertips. Williams sat across from me, his long hair casting a shadow over the contract as the warehouse lights flickered. He didn't move. He didn't even seem to breathe. I pulled the document closer and looked at the black ink, the weight of the Sovereign seal pressing into the table.“Sign it, Lola.""Give me a second.""The Council will most likely meet in two hours. If you aren't under my name by then, they will issue the warrant for the baby."I felt the blood drain from my face. "Two hours?""Two hours."He stood up and walked around the table. He stood right behind me. I could feel the heat coming off his body. He didn't touch me, but he was close enough that I could smell the woods and salt on his skin. My wolf let out a small, contented sigh in my head. I hated her for it."You're cornered," he whispered."I know.""Then do the only thing that makes sense.”I was about to sign it, but another thing came into my thoughts

Lola's Pov "This woman is not the Nightwood heir. She is a fraud and I will prove it in front of everyone today.” He started.I turned the volume up."The woman making this so called inheritance claim has no verified documentation. No council witness. No formal presentation. What she has is a birthmark she conveniently discovered after her life fell apart." He leaned into the mic slightly. "I was married to Lola Nightwood for five years. I know exactly who she is and what she is capable of. This claim is a desperate move from a woman who lost everything and is now trying to use a founding bloodline name to claw her way back. The Nightwood seat deserves better than that. Crescent Ridge deserves better than that. I will be presenting my evidence before the full Council tomorrow and when I am done, every wolf in this territory will know the truth."He stepped back from the podium.The broadcaster came back on screen saying something about a scheduled Council emergency session but I had

William's Pov The call came in at half past midnight.I was standing outside the secure property watching my team run the perimeter check when Cain's name came up on my screen. He only called at this hour when something had already gone wrong."Talk," I said."About the three rogues. We picked up their trail an hour ago. They were two blocks from the penthouse before we intercepted.""Where are they now?""Contained. We're questioning the third one. The first two didn't have much to say after a while.""What did the third one give you?""Hired through a packless broker in the south district. Cash transaction. No names on the contract but the description of the client matches Herdez.”"Not enough to file on.""Not yet. But we're still talking to him.""Make sure he keeps talking. I want a name before morning." I ended the call and went back inside.Lola was at the desk in the main room with three documents spread out in front of her and her laptop open to two windows. She had been at

Lola's PovThe council clerk's official statement was already circulating.Verification proceedings restored, all claimants to the Nightwood seat required to attend the first formal hearing. And then the last line, the one that made every wolf reading it go still.All claimants must present physical proof of the Moon's Seal at the first hearing. No exceptions, failure to present forfeits all claims permanently.I read it twice.Then I looked down at my thigh where the crescent birthmark had sat quietly. Tonight every wolf in that chamber was going to be looking for the same thing.And only one of us actually had it.The next morning, Williams was at the table when I came out of the bedroom.He had coffee waiting and a printed copy of the council announcement in front of him. He looked up when I walked in.He didn't say a word, instead he passed me a printed copy of the council announcement. I read the last line carefully. All claimants must present physical proof of the Moon's Seal
