Prince Adam’s POV:

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

For a moment, I honestly wondered if my father had lost his mind-or if he was doing this on purpose just to disgust me.

Uncle Niall? My Uncle Niall? The one pushing 50, whose head was full of nothing but booze and women, who changed lovers as often as he changed clothes?

Yes, he was a prince. Yes, his status was high, and his bloodline was considered pure.

But his character? Even the lowest thugs in this kingdom had more decency than him.

His estate was infamous, full of abused Omega used for his pleasure. Too many Omegas had suffered there. Too many never left alive.

“Father, are you joking?” My blood rushed to my head, and my last bit of reason snapped. “Pairing Cindy with Uncle Niall? That’s throwing her into a pit of fire! It’s an insult to a war hero!”

“Enough!” Father’s face hardened. “Niall may be indulgent, but he carries the royal bloodline. He is a high- ranking Alpha with pure blood. And since he struggles to have heirs, if Cindy bears him a child, Silverpeak Pack would gain the royal’s protection.”

“This is ridiculous!” I stepped forward and slammed both hands on the desk, staring at him with red eyes. “Cindy is a hero. She is a Grand Marshal. She is not a baby-making tool. She is not some breeder meant to improve royal bloodlines. Marry her to Uncle Niall? Over my dead body!”

“Adam!” Father stood up as well, his wolf power flaring. “Watch your/place. You are a prince. How dare you speak to me like this over a woman?”

“I’m not just a prince. I’m a man. And I’m a soldier!” I shot back, my chest rising and falling fast. “I saw her fight for the kingdom. I saw her bleeding on the city walls, refusing to fall. She deserves the best this world can offer, not that disgusting piece of trash!”

My father stared at me. His anger burned hot, but beneath it was something sharper. Something calculating.

“The best?” he sneered, stepping around the desk to face me. “Then tell me. What is the best? Is it you?”

The question hit me like ice water. It didn’t put out the fire in my heart. It exposed it.

, cutting straight into the feelings I had been trying to hide.

That question was sharp as a blade, cutting

“Is it you?”

Those three words echoed in the stud

for heroes-got stuck in my throat.

At that moment, denying it would be cowardice. It would be betrayal.

“Yes.”

I took a deep breath and met his gaze. My voice shook, but my resolve did not. “If someone must stand by her side, no one is more suitable than me. And no one will cherish her more than I will.”

Father froze for a moment. He clearly hadn’t expected me to admit it so openly.

Then he straightened, his royal authority returning. “You? You are the Crown Prince. The future king of this kingdom. Your queen should be the pure-blooded she-wolf of a powerful pack, someone who can strengthen your rule and bear the finest heirs. Cindy? Once, maybe. But Silverpeak Pack is barely standing now. She brings no political support. And she was abandoned by her mate. To those old conservatives, she isn’t even qualified to be Queen.”

“Then I won’t be Crown Prince.”

The words shocked even me.
