Sure enough, there it was the distinct birthmark on his elbow.A flicker of uncertainty crossed his face, but was quickly replaced by a stubborn defiance. "It's just a coincidence," he spat. "Anyone can have a birthmark. Now, leave before I call the police."Defeated and heartbroken, my mother took a step back, tears streaming down her face. "I can't believe this," she whispered.

The words that spilled out of her mouth left me reeling with confusion and disbelief."I swear, Racheal, I could swear that Lucien is your father," my mother choked out between sobs.

In the middle of the night, the moonlight filtering through the window of Axel's room, Racheal stirred in her sleep as a faint knocking echoed through the room. She blinked groggily, reaching out to check the time on the nightstand beside the bed. It read past two am.Racheal nudged Axel gently, her voice barely above a whisper, "Axel, did you hear that knocking?"Axel's eyes fluttered open, his brows furrowed in confusion. "Yeah, I did. Who could be knocking at this hour?"The knocking sounded again, more urgent this time, and both of them glanced towards the door. Without a word, Axel got out of bed and made his way to the door. As he opened it, a palace guard stood at attention in the hallway, his armor glinting in the dim light.The guard spoke with a grave tone, "Apologies for the disturbance, but your presence is urgently required in the infirmary, Alpha Axel."Axel exchanged a look with Racheal, concern etched on his face.

Racheal jolted awake, her heart pounding in her chest as she gasped for breath. She had been plagued by a nightmare, the details of which were already fading from her memory. As she reached for her phone to check the time, her hand brushed against something cold and metallic on her nightstand.Frowning, she turned on the light to see a familiar hairpin lying there.Her breath caught in her throat as she recognized it as Athena's. Athena, who was supposed to be dead. Panic surged through her veins as she bolted out of bed and ran to Axel's room, pounding on the door until he opened it, teary eyed and disheveled."Racheal, what's wrong?"
