Chapter 130

~Aira’s POV~

Golden Claw Estate – Upper East Wing

Just as I rose from the edge of the stool, wiping my fingers clean of faint blue paint, I heard voices.

Familiar ones—soft, heated, threaded with years of unspoken weight. I stepped out from behind the large canvas of Valerie and her father, heart already tightening. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Autumn is overly joyed at your presence," I said, my voice floating across the hall. "She misses her twin wolf, sister."

They turned—Zade and the one soul who knew me best. Tempest’s eyes sparkled as they met mine, and the way her face lit up, I forgot the ache in my chest.

"Being glad doesn’t even begin to describe what Summer feels—or what I feel," Tempest said, her voice already thick. "How’s my favourite twin doing?"

I gave a watery chuckle, brushing my braid behind my shoulder. "Considering I’m your only twin, I’d say I’m better now that I have seen you."

And just like that, we closed the space between us. No hesitation. No pause. Our arms wrapped tight, our cheeks damp with tears that burned too softly to stop.

We didn’t speak for a long time. Didn’t need to.

When we finally pulled back, Zade raised a brow and crossed his arms, the corner of his mouth twitching.

"You two are worse than Solstice."

Tempest laughed, brushing away a tear and pushing his shoulder playfully. "Speaking of which—how are my little niece and nephew, Solstice and Storm? Where are they hiding?"

Zade shrugged. "Storm’s still away on that internal mission—digging into the corruption mess in the Ministry. Solstice, on the other hand..." he exhaled, "just being her usual mischief-filled self. I swear, she moves more like you than either of us."

"She should," Tempest grinned. "I raised her to be a little firestorm, a tempest in a sea. Quick to act, even quicker to speak."

"I honestly don’t know between her and Valerie who influences the other more," Zade muttered.

That made me smile. "I’d say Valerie. She’s a chip off the old block. That child has this way of bending people with her voice, just like her father, Snow, did. And that soft force of nature? She inherited it straight from Zara."

Tempest’s face dimmed slightly. "How is Valerie, by the way? I haven’t seen my young niece since..."

"She’s no longer with us," Zade said carefully, watching her expression.

Tempest’s eyes narrowed. "What do you mean by that?"

"She’s alive," Zade cut in. "But not home. She’s enrolled in PSA. On a mission. To dig into Nightshade Thorn Cult."

The silence that followed was sharp.

Tempest’s stance shifted—dangerous, ready. Her hand shot forward and gripped Zade’s collar. "Are you insane? Zade, seriously, what the heck is wrong with you allowing that? That would mean exposing her to the very people who hunted her and her parents! I can’t allow it!"

I stepped in quickly. "Tempest." She turned to me, jaw tight. "It wasn’t his fault. Valerie insisted."

"That’s why you’re her guardians!" she growled. "To stop her from doing things like this. She already died once in this world. I won’t watch it happen again. Not under my watch."

Zade held Tempest’s gaze unafraid of her tantrum. "She’s going to succeed because she’s stronger than any of us realised. And because she believes in the cause. She’s the child of prophecy, isn’t she?"

"And what if that prophecy turns on her?" Tempest snapped. "She could be seen as a threat. The other Alpha Kings’ heirs won’t hesitate if they feel her power grows too far. You know what the prophecy says—she could remake the kingdom... or destroy it. I will not let the same powers Zara gave freely be used against her daughter."

"They won’t," I said softly.

Tempest shook her head. "How can you be sure?"

"Because Valerie knows what’s at stake," I whispered. "Even if she doesn’t know everything yet."
