Every alpha-blooded son had to complete the three-month isolation in the northern territories before they could claim their place in the pack hierarchy. It was tradition, ritual, law. Alec had known it was coming since he was old enough to understand what his last name meant. But knowing didn't make it easier. He'd spent weeks trying to find a way around it, some loophole that would let him stay, but his father had made it clear: refuse the Rites, and he'd forfeit his claim to everything—his inheritance, his position, his voice in the Council. He'd become nothing. And i

"Is gone. Its existence was tied to the hurt. The hurt isn't hurting anymore. What remains is... Nothing. Emptiness that is truly empty." Alexander fell to his knees, exhausted, hitting him like a wave. Beside him Kael did the same, his young face pale. His eyes shining with tired triumph. "Did we do it?" Kael asked. "Is it over?" The Architect's presence flickered, thinking. "The hurt is fixing. The Crucible is coming together. Your bond has shown that inheritance doesn't have to be a curse—it can be a gift, shared or kept."

He hadn't reached that part before. He wanted her to discover it herself. She turned the final page. “…Your real inheritance is a list. A list powerful enough to destroy nations. Protect it.* Never sell it, reveal it and never allow anyone to convince you they already possess it because they don't. Only one person knows where it truly is. You…”

He asked, looking at me from head to toe and focusing on the neckline of my blouse, making me roll my eyes. I move closer to him, glaring at him. "I am the Montanari heiress, this chair is mine!" I speak a little lower, but firm and serious. "And I am your future husband and I would have to take over the company". Seriously spoken. "But don't worry, I can make you secretary. You'll be great to work with". Speaks mischievously, licking his lips as he looks down at my cleavage again. I roll my eyes and walk over to his side, controlling myself so I don't end up committing murder.

As I became more aware of my thoughts, an overwhelming sense of dread consumed me. The thought of losing this newfound game lingered at the forefront and chipped away at my composed demeanor. Although defeat seemed imminent, a silent preference surfaced- if someone had to be victorious in this perilous contest for Mary's affection, let it be Victor. Our inheritance was not solely comprised of material wealth but also held great p

The pull inside my chest had intensified, no longer vague, no longer distant. He was not just watching. He was preparing. And worse than that, I knew with chilling certainty— He knew exactly who I was. The forest shifted softly around us, indifferent to the weight settling in my chest. The path ahead had changed, even if the destination had not. This was no longer about Rowan’s remnants. This was about inheritance. And somewhere beyond the trees, the Heir was laying claim.

She smiled. “You’re not the only heir playing a long game, Mr. Vince.” And that was when he realized: she wasn’t Crane’s weakness. She was his legacy. — Back in New York – Same Night Clarissa slammed the door open into the safehouse. “Aiden,” she called out.

I understand you need an heir. After all, the Levine mafia empire is vast. Someone has to inherit it. “If you think it would be easier, you can bring Whitney home so that she’s cared for.
