Lucas looked at Beatrice, and even though she had changed her identity and appearance, he felt a wave of recognition wash over him.Even though Leo had assisted her in hiding behind inquisitive viewers, there was something in the depths of her stare that made him feel a familiar sorrow.Memories of their previous talks with Leo filled his head, their conversations about Beatrice and the twins echoing in his mind, and his heart skipped a beat. His heart ached with confusion as he tried to make sense of the woman at the sight of him as well as the memories he had of her.Even if time and distance had weakened the connection they have, it was still there—a string that would not entirely break.And although Lucas struggled to deal with the mixed emotions he was experiencing, he realized he wanted explanations, needed to know why Beatrice had returned to his life after all these years.Despite the confusion and uncertainty, Lucas feels a spark of determination that motivates him to uncover

Before Beatrice walked away, Lucas held her wrist and they suddenly disappeared. As Beatrice and Lucas stood in the palace's quiet garden, surrounded by beautiful plants and scented blooms, an anxious silent remained between them.Lucas's eyes bore into Beatrice with a mix of interest and distrust, while Beatrice straightened her shoulders, bracing herself for the inevitable clash."Why are you here, Beatrice?" Lucas asked, his voice low and tinged with a hint of accusation. "Why have you appeared before me again, after all this time?"Beatrice smirked. "Don't be delusional, Lucas. I am not here for you. I just attended your engagement and I don't have any other intentions." She replied to him, firmly.His eyes squinted."Really?" his voice sounded something interesting.Beatrice met Lucas's gaze head-on, her expression resolute despite the turmoil churning inside her. "I'm not here for you, Lucas," she replied firmly, her voice steady. "I have my own reasons for being here, reasons t

Beatrice sat in her house, what happened of the previous day still fresh in her thoughts. She played with her twins, putting on a brave face for them, despite the fact that her heart ached from everything that had happened.She couldn't stop herself from telling them what had happened, hoping to protect them from the awful facts of the world for just a moment. As she nourished her twins, Beatrice couldn't help but appreciate Leo's quick response. She truly thanked him for his assistance, knowing that she owed him a debt of appreciation that could never be paid in full return.Leo had already treated her wounds, his expert hands working skillfully to treat her external conditions. But the mental wounds remained deeper, and Beatrice knew they would take much longer to heal.Her thoughts were interrupted by Lucas' abrupt entrance at her door, his expression ashamed and sorrowful. He sincerely apologized for what had happened and expressed his regret for inflicting her suffering. Beatrice

As Lucas secretly approached the twins and got their hair to do a paternal test, his Beta found a new information about Beatrice. He was extremely in a rush to meet with his Beta and to give the samples to Fabian to take a check on it when Princess Samara caught his arms, making him stop."Let's talk, Lucas," she said, with an authoritative tone.Lucas knitted his forehead. "I don't want to waste time to your fucking explanation, Samara. Get off me!" He growled at her coldly."And you have time to talk with that bitch?!" Now, Samara burst out. "I am your fucking fiance! Why are you ignoring me?!"Lucas scoffed and faced her with his usual expression. Cold and dangerous."You are not my fiance anymore," he announced. "From the day you made another mistake again, from what you have done to Beatrice the other week, you don't fit to be my bride!" He added with so much conviction.Samara's forehead creased with so much irritation and she could feel the pain pang in her chest. She doesn't w

As the morning sun poured its warm shine over the palace, Lucas struggled with a flood of emotions. Fabian's words lingered in his memory, soaking him with both disbelief and happiness.Could it really be? Were the twins, whom he got to care passionately for, his own flesh and blood? The thought itself sent shivers down.Lucas felt a sense of anticipation building as he moved closer to his expected meet with Fabian. He wanted confirmation, yet worried the significance of the knowledge that awaited him.As he reached the room where Fabian was waiting, his heart hammered in his chest and his breath caught in his throat."Alpha Lucas," Fabian said, his voice filled with a remarkable intensity that hinted at the seriousness of the news he brought. "I have news regarding the samples we tested. It's nothing short of miraculous."Lucas' heart sped up as he focused on Fabian's every word, his senses sharpened with excitement. "What news do you bring, Fabian? Please, tell me."Fabian's lips fo
