CHAPTER 101 — ANOTHER HEIRElena's POVI couldn't take my eyes off the woman standing in front of me. Only a few minutes ago, I had believed I was the last surviving Thorne heir, and now someone who looked enough like me to make my heart race was claiming she belonged to the same family. I wanted to believe her, but I had learned too many times that appearances could be deceiving.“If you're really a Thorne, then prove it,” I demanded, keeping my eyes fixed on her as I folded my arms. “I won't believe another family story just because you look like me. I need something real, something that cannot be explained away,” I added, refusing to let another mystery become another lie.“This belonged to our family long before either of us was born,” the woman replied, reaching beneath her clothing and bringing out a small pendant. She held it carefully in her palm before turning it toward me. “The mark on it belongs to the old Thorne royal line. Your family used the same mark on their bloodline

CHAPTER 103 — THE RIVAL ALPHAXander's POVThe tension in the room had barely settled when the palace doors suddenly opened, and several warriors rushed inside with weapons drawn. I turned sharply toward the entrance, immediately recognizing the pressure that filled the room. Whoever had arrived was powerful enough that even my guards looked uneasy, and that alone was enough to put me on alert.“Who allowed them into my palace?” I demanded, turning toward the nearest guard as I stepped forward. “I want every entrance sealed until I know exactly who these people are and why they think they can walk into my territory without permission.”“They came under an Alpha's authority,” the guard answered cautiously, lowering his weapon slightly while keeping his eyes on the warriors. “We tried to stop them, but their Alpha refused to wait outside and demanded to speak with you immediately.”Then he walked through the doorway.I knew him instantly.My body stiffened as memories I hadn't thought a

CHAPTER 105 — THE ALPHA’S DEMANDXander's POV“Explain yourself,” I demanded, stepping toward the rival Alpha as anger tightened every muscle in my body. “You walked into my palace, accused me of stealing something from you, and then looked at Wren as though you've been searching for her your entire life, so you're going to tell me exactly what you mean.”“I don't owe you fear simply because you're standing in your own palace,” he replied calmly, meeting my stare without taking a step back. “You defeated me years ago, Xander, but that doesn't mean you own every answer I've spent those years searching for.”“You're not leaving this room until I get those answers,” I warned him, keeping my voice low as my warriors moved slightly closer behind me. “Whatever old grudge you have against me can wait, but if you're here because of Wren, then you will explain why.”His eyes moved past me again.Wren stood near the doorway, looking increasingly uncomfortable under his attention. She seemed con

CHAPTER 107 — THE BETRAYALELENA’S POVWren's words refused to leave my mind. I had watched the fear on her face when she described the woman holding the newborn, and the warning she heard still chilled me. Someone had already tried to take my daughter once. I could no longer pretend that danger had passed.I turned toward the guards stationed outside the chamber and ordered them to bring me every palace security record from the past several months. I wanted records of visitors, movements, training grounds, sleeping quarters, and every person who had requested information about Wren.Xander understood immediately. He sent the guards into different parts of the palace while my brothers remained close. Nobody questioned my decision. After what Wren had seen, none of us could afford to dismiss another warning as nothing.The records arrived before midday, carried into the council chamber by two guards. I spread the old parchment rolls across the table and began checking them one by one,
