Chapter 293: Flashback - 33

Jeren’s POV

He was the light of my dark world—the world where my parents, grandparents, everyone wanted me to live the way they wanted. Ariel was the one who told me that we get only one life, so enjoy it.

Even after I got married, my parents didn’t stop. Now they wanted it—the grandchildren. But I didn’t say anything, because I was not in the condition to say no or yes. Most of the time, I was sleeping and doing nothing. But during my rut cycle, when I was on the other side of the palace, I told everyone not to come there. ’cause I was gonna spend my rut cycle alone since the supplements were not working.

But she came there—my newly wedded wife. My parents told her if she wanted to get pregnant, then she should be with me during the rut cycle. This was the easiest way for her to get pregnant. She wouldn’t be thrown aside by me if she carried my child.

But I was not gonna throw her aside anyway. I was shocked at that time when she came to me. I told her to go away from there, but she started to release her omega pheromones, which were triggering my rut cycle even more. My pheromones were reacting to her pheromones, and she started to get close to me. I pushed her, but she still came to me, saying she was doing this for herself.

In the end, my mind went blank. And later, when I finally regained consciousness, I found I had spent my rut cycle with her. But I didn’t mark her, ’cause my bites were on my back palm. I don’t know—even in a rut cycle, how come I was able to retain myself from marking her?

But she was very tired, and she became pregnant too. That’s why I started to pay attention to her. ’Cause I can’t always stay stuck in my past. At least I should make her happy. After all, she was my wife.

That’s why I comforted her, took care of her, even though I still didn’t feel anything for her. And my parents died ’cause their carriage fell off a cliff in the rain. And eventually, my grandparents too—in her sixth month of pregnancy. Now I was all alone, and only she was with me. But after giving birth to twins—who were the same like me but omegas like her—she closed her eyes at that exact moment.

From that moment, I only had my two sons and no one else. I stopped drinking so much and paid more attention to raising both of them since they were so cute. But still, I was tracking Ariel all these years, so I knew what he was doing.

And after all these 18 or 19 years, finally, I was able to see his face again—which is still the same. Everything is the same.

Even though he is standing right in front of me, I still feel there is a wall between us. Because he is not smiling the way he used to smile at me. All these years, I knew what he was doing, how his guild was doing. I was tracking him, but I had fear. That’s why I never went in front of him and never saw him. Only my shadow guards were informing me about what was happening.

"Sorry to barge in and say it like this, but I have something to say about the matter you are all talking about. So allow me to say something," he said while his eyes were on me. And I was drowning in them without saying anything, but I realized that he is really here. But what does he want to talk about?

"What did you say you want to talk about?" I asked.

"I think you didn’t hear me... I want to say something important about the matter where 100 Alphas died... Was it really you who killed them?"

"Of course it’s me."

"Why are you trying to hide your son’s strength? It’s good that even if he is an Omega, he has strength. He is strong. That he was able to kill those 100 Alphas who tried to rape him."

His voice echoed through the whole hall. It’s not like I was trying to hide it. But I just didn’t want any more rumors about Silas. That’s why I was lying—that yes, it was me who killed those hundred Alphas. But when Ariel said this, I think there is no need to hide. Yes, people should know how strong my son is. They should be scared of him. His fear should spread through all the packs.

As Ariel said that, everyone started staring at each other. Because I told them it was me who killed them. But... it seems we can’t hide it anymore. They found out the truth.

"What? It was Prince Silas who killed those hundred Alphas? No, it can’t be true. He is lying!"

"Yes, how can an Omega kill Alphas—and a hundred? It’s something beyond limits."

"He is making a fool out of us again."

Everyone’s mouth is running. How dare they talk about my son like this? I am gonna kill them—each of them with my own two hands.

"What? You can’t accept that an Omega is powerful? You should really be ashamed. And the information you requested, my lord—I have brought it."

Ariel was looking at Theron while saying that, and Theron stood up from his chair and went to Ariel. I didn’t understand what was happening. And if I really think... Ariel is here ’cause Theron asked something from him, and he is here to deliver that. I thought he was here for me, but I guess I was wrong.

He handed over some envelope to Theron and left from there without talking to me. Once again, I was abandoned by him. Why is he like this? Why am I not able to forget him yet? Why?

I should have forgotten about him since it’s been more than 18 years. Still, he is inside my heart.
