“Put me down,” I demanded weakly, though my body had no strength to resist.

The drive passed in a blur of streetlights and my own churning thoughts. His confession echoed in my mind, but my heart felt too damaged to process what it might mean.

Back at Moonhaven Estate, Marcus carried me upstairs to the Master Suite. Each step felt deliberate, as if he was afraid I might disappear if he moved too quickly.

Rachel opened the door, her eyes widening in surprise. “Elena! What happened?”

“She’s been drinking moonlight wine,” Marcus explained, his voice strained with concern.

Rachel nodded knowingly. “That explains the pále complexion.”

Marcus brought me to our private chamber, gently placing me on the bed. I immediately turned away from him, facing the wall.

Rachel hesitated in the doorway, clearly uncertain whether to ask questions about what had transpired.

Marcus looked at me for a long moment, his expression unreadable. The silence stretched between us like a

chasm.

“Please take care of her,” he finally said to Rachel. “If I stay to look after her, she won’t be happy when she

wakes up tomorrow.”

He tucked the blanket around me with surprising gentleness. His fingers brushed against my shoulder briefly before he pulled away.

Then he left the chamber without another word.

Once Marcus departed, I slowly sat up. The movement startled Rachel, who had been quietly organizing my nightclothes.

“Elenal I thought you were completely drunk, she exclaimed.

“I was only dizzy, not severely intoxicated,” I explained, my voice hoarse from vomiting.

Rachel’s expression grew thoughtful. “Marcus seemed genuinely worried about you.”

“Yes, I heard everything he said,” I replied calmly.

I had been conscious enough to understand his confession about having me in his heart now. But my own heart was already riddled with holes from years of past pain.

His words came too late. The damage had been done long ago.

The next morning, I encountered Marcus as soon as I left the Master Suite. He was waiting in the corridor, his

golden eyes immediately focusing on me.

“Good morning,” I said politely, pretending the previous night’s events were a drunken blur.

“Elena,” he began, stepping closer.

“Thank you for bringing me home last night,” I interrupted, maintaining my facade of forgetfulness.

Marcus blocked my path to the elevator, his expression intense. “Do you truly remember nothing of your drunken rambling?”

I met his gaze steadily. “It was meaningless alcohol–induced nonsense. Why are you taking it so seriously?”

His jaw tightened at my dismissive tone. We stared at each other in tense silenc

The elevator arrived with a soft chime. I pushed past him to enter, feeling his eyes burning into my back.

(God’s POV)

After the elevator doors closed, Marcus’s phone rang. Amber Stone’s voice was crisp and professional.

“Alpha, I have the investigation results about those two suspicious individuals.”

Marcus pressed the phone closer to his ear. “Report.”

“They weren’t connected to Sophia Rivers or the Sterling family,” Amber Stone explained. “They work for a beauty salon owner named Hazel Green.”

Marcus frowned. “Hazel Green?”

“She has extensive social connections in the Southern Territory’s upper circles,” Amber Stone continued. “She

likely has significant backing.”

“Continue monitoring the situation,” Marcus instructed, his voice cold with authority.

Meanwhile, Jacob Hayes emerged from a private identification agency, clutching a sealed envelope. His hands trembled slightly as he approached the car.

Adrian Whitmore sat in the back seat, his amber eyes fixed on the envelope. “The results?”

Jacob Hayes handed over the file with barely contained excitement. “Young Master, you should see this

yourself.”

Adrian opened the envelope, his eyes scanning the DNA analysis report. The numbers seemed to blur together until one statistic stood out clearly: 98% genetic match.

He stared at the paper in shock, his hands growing cold. This should have been the moment he’d dreamed of

for years.

“Young Master!” Jacob Hayes exclaimed, having glimpsed the results. “She’s really your sister!”

Jacob Hayes reached for his phone eagerly. “I must inform your father immediately!”

But Adrian remained silent, his expression troubled. Instead of joy, he felt an unexpected wave of

disappointment.

The girl didn’t feel like his real sister. Something fundamental was missing from their connection.

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

During lunch, I met Adrian at the Crimson Rose Tavern near the Southern Territory Central Healing Institute.

The restaurant buzzed with quiet conversation from other diners.

“How is your sister search progressing?” I asked, cutting into my grilled salmon.

Adrian’s expression darkened. “I found her.”

I looked up in surprise. “That’s wonderful news! You must be thrilled.”

“I should be,” he said quietly. “But I feel strangely unhappy about it.”

His amber eyes reflected confusion and disappointment. “Despite the DNA
