Chapter 0014
The Third Person
Noah grabs Ella and Evan’s arms. He pulls them outside the door and into the schoolyard where other children play. Their three heads poke above the window’s horizon, watching the other students in the room lose interest and move to unattended toys.
Noah and Ella look at Evan, who shyly takes off his sunglasses. They all nervously chuckle and their gazes flicker between each other. Evan slides his sunglasses into his pocket.
“I think,” Evan nervously breathes out, “that we may be…wins!”
“No wonder you and mommy have the same eyes!” Ella gasps with delight. She grabs Noah’s hand and smiles. brightly at him. She looks back at Evan and shares the same smile with him. He smiles back.
“That doesn’t prove we’re brothers.” Noah flatly states. Ella lets go of his hand. She excitedly claps her hands together.
“That means I have another big brother!” She cheers. The young girl jumps up and down. Evan cracks a smile at her but when he looks at Noah, his smile quickly fades.
“Does…does mommy’s eyes really look like min
Evan quietly asks.
“Yes!” Ella nods enthusiastically. “Mommy’s eyes are purple too! They’re beautiful! Just like yours!”
Evan’s heart swells in his chest. A smile blooms on his face as the realization that he isn’t alone anymore sets in.
Is this what true happiness feels like? Evan has never known what a wholesome home feels like…he hopes that this is what it feels like! It’s a lot different than what he’s used to with his mom
“Mommy is the nicest woman ever! She loves us so much!” Ella begins. Her body vibrates with excitement. Noah clears his throat.
“She’s sad too,” Noah’s voice brings the happy conversation to a more serious tone. “She’s been heartbroken ever since she lost her first child.” The trio’s faces fall.
Ella looks between the two of them and sighs. She takes both of their hands and squeezes them. The young girl looks at Evan and smiles.
“But…we found you! Mommy will be so happy to finally meet you!”
Ella’s words bring a sense of urgency to Evan. An urgency to go and find his real mom, a mom who will love and care for him, unlike the imposter who stands in her role.
“We need to figure things out,” Noah begins. Evan’s heart falls in his chest, but he remains optimistic about what Noah has to say. “We can’t tell anyone about who we are or how we’re related,” Noah warns. He turns to Evan.” Don’t let anyone see your eyes too.”
“I’ll be careful,” Evan nods, “I promise!”
Evan understands the weight of the situation. As heir to the Alpha King’s title and throne, he knows that his identity is sensitive information. Evan doesn’t want to bring any unnecessary trouble to his mommy, or siblings.

legacy is still alive and somewhat well, whereas I feel dread at the idea of seeing how Lily has ruined my mother’s legacy.
I try my best to focus on the upside of my mission here. Having the ability to solve a problem with my mother’s formula makes me feel immense pride, but at what cost? Will Lily take my solution to her problem and ruin the formula further?
I step through the doors of her office, expecting to only see Lily there, but am met face–to–face with Sebastian. He wears a bitter expression on his face and I can’t help but return it, pushing back him and towards Lily.
He’s probably here to support Lily and whatever bullshit lie she has to spin. I take a deep breath and watch as Lily keeps a tablet and vial captive in her hands
