Family is said to be the source of warmth and the first people who adore you when you need it. They say that families can fix each other, but this was rarely the case.

Having Viktor in a room with him in a rational setting without having the thought of blasting him out a window was unfathomable to Nikolai. Viktor, on the other hand, was seated in front of him and was intensely fascinated about a particular blood pearl.

“It belonged to aunt Tiana.” He breathed out.

“And how did you find out?” Instead of engaging in pointless nostalgia, Nikolai questioned wanting to go into business.

“Yulia..” Viktor whispered and looked at Nikolai whose face darkened.

“She would want to learn my motivations before acting, so I didn’t anticipate her spilling.”

Viktor slowly nodded. “Until I persuaded her to tell me, that was her plan.”

“You certainly have your ways.” Nikolai hissed, shaking his head.

“Why do you have it?” Viktor enquired, intently observing Nikolai. “I don’t believe I’ve ever seen Tiana take this off; she kept it around her neck all the time. It’s more than simply a pearl, right?”

“You are being a bother right now, Viktor, so don’t expect me to tell you anything.” Nikolai spoke bluntly.

Vladimir sighed. “Despite your unusual actions, I grew accustomed to them because of how close we were 300 years ago.”

“Accustomed to them.” Nikolai scoffed. “I required aid! Whenever I freaked out and tried to explain what was happening to me, you never listened

Viktor’s eyes grew wider. He glanced at the blood pearl, closely clutching it. “Our family… You are trying to save our family.” His breath trembled as he murmured. “Even when you killed Tiana, you were attempting to save our family the entire time.” He struggled to keep his voice from rising.

Nikolai’s lips twitched and his smile faded. This was the first time someone was calling him a savior rather than a destroyer. He was used to being

Oh. Mama is so sad. I feel horrible that he never pays attention to her.”

Vladimir exhaled heavily. “Despite your absence, you are aware of what has

been happening.”

“Surprising, right?!” Nikolai exclaimed excitedly before heaving a long

breath. “Father is not inclined to grant me the throne. Nobody would want a sociopath in charge of a continent that is thriving. I will only act as a tyrannical alpha. Alpha of Alphas.” He muttered dramatically before laughing easily at Viktor’s cool demeanor.

“So you believe he is being manipulated or coerced into giving you the

“Yes!” Nikolai pointed at Viktor, who slowly nodded. “However, a dragoness appeared out of nowhere, and goddess! They want her gone, but they also know that hurting her will agitate me, so they make sure to provoke me so th can see how strong I’ve grown, and then wham! What transpired last
