Chapter 106: ONE FEMALE TWO MALES 2

CAELAN / ASTON

Luigi’s mouth fell open. "These Males are crazy!!"

Aston’s smile disappeared for half a second. Aston always knew the pregnancy was FAKE all Vivian’s schemes. The only.thing that got into his head was. How did I fall head over heels for such a scheming Female?

Then Caelan continued.

"Marrying Elena is part of my mission. I cannot abandon it. The Drayke family needs her SSS class phoenix bloodline. and Haxia needs the Royal Drayke family’s protection."

He looked directly at Aston. "But Vivian has nothing to do with that. She’s not a political tool. She shouldn’t have to suffer because of our circumstances."

For a moment, silence filled the room.

Then Aston laughed.

He laughed so hard that Luigi stared at him in confusion.

"Caelan Drayke..."

Aston wiped the corner of his eye.

"You really think I don’t know what’s going on inside that head of yours?"

Caelan’s face darkened. "What are you talking about?"

"Don’t pretend you suddenly became a noble man."

Aston leaned forward.

"From the beginning, you knew Vivian loved you. You also knew how badly the Astronova family treated her."

His gaze sharpened. "Yet you did nothing."

Caelan’s jaw clenched.

Aston continued mercilessly.

"You wanted to keep her by your side because she was beautiful and devoted to you. You thought that because she was an unawakened female, her lifespan would be shorter and she would never become powerful enough to threaten you."

He smiled coldly. "You could marry Elena for the sake of your mission and keep Vivian as your private female. Two sisters. Two purposes. And you would never have to choose."

Caelan’s eyes flashed. "That’s not..."

"But now everything has changed, hasn’t it?"

Aston interrupted him. "Vivian is no longer the helpless girl you thought she was. She has a power capable of separating two SS-Class males in their beast forms."

Caelan went still..Aston noticed.

Of course, he noticed. The faintest change in Caelan’s expression was enough to confirm that the commander already knew Vivian possessed an extraordinary ability.

Aston’s eyes narrowed.

So he has seen it too.

But he didn’t let the thought show on his face.

Instead, he continued.

"Suddenly, the woman you thought you could keep forever has become someone you can no longer control."

Caelan’s face turned pale. "That’s not why I came here."

"Really?"

Aston tilted his head.

"Then why are you so angry that she’s with me?"

Caelan opened his mouth. No words came out.

Aston smiled. "Let me guess. You don’t like the thought of another male touching what’s yours."

His voice became mocking.

"How unfortunate."

He stood up. "Because Vivian can never belong to you alone."

Caelan’s eyes turned bloodshot.."What did you say? You know Vivian loves me more..."

Aston walked toward him and scoffs..."I said Vivian can never be yours alone."

He stopped directly in front of Caelan.

"Do you know something interesting, Commander? I was dating Vivian at the same time you were."

Caelan froze. Aston smiled as though he were discussing the weather.

"While you were busy enjoying her devotion, I was spending my earnings on her. She was with me, too."

Caelan stared at him in disbelief. "You..."

"Surprised?"

Aston chuckled. "Why? Did you think you were the only male she had ever looked at?"

Caelan’s hands began to tremble.

He had never suspected Vivian had been involved with other males before. Because her devotion to him.needed a Gold medal.

But hearing Aston admit that he had been one of them was different.

Aston wasn’t merely some ordinary male.

He was the Alpha King. And Vivian had married him as her first beast husband and the Astronova’s he was sure didn’t know. Because they also wanted to pull Elena to Aston too. How will they react?

Caelan felt as though something had lodged in his throat.

Aston watched the realization settle in.

Then he delivered another blow.

"And now, it seems, there’s someone new."

Caelan’s head snapped up. "Who?"

Aston smiled. "Sentinel Vega."

The room went silent.

Caelan stared at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Vivian is now Vega’s personal soldier. She’s living under his protection."

Aston folded his arms.

"Of all the males on her list, Vega is the one you should be most worried about."

Caelan’s face drained of color. Vega was a Sentinel. A man who had become one at eighteen.

Someone whose influence and strength were difficult to measure, even for a commander of Caelan’s standing.

If Vivian truly had his protection, Caelan couldn’t simply walk into his residence and demand to see her.

He would have to deal with Vega first.

And that was not a confrontation he could afford to take lightly.

"You’re lying," Caelan said.

Aston shrugged. "Believe whatever makes you sleep well at night."

Caelan grabbed his arm. "Tell me what you mean about Vivian’s power!"

Aston’s expression instantly turned cold. He looked down at Caelan’s hand.m"Release me."

Caelan didn’t move. "Tell me!"

A wave of spiritual pressure erupted from Aston’s body.

Caelan’s injured body stiffened.

His fingers loosened involuntarily.

Aston pulled his arm away and straightened his sleeve.

"Listen carefully, Small Commander."

His voice was quiet, but every word carried a chilling warning.

"I don’t want anyone else learning about Vivian’s abilities. Not the royal family. Not the military. And certainly not the Astronovas."

Caelan’s eyes narrowed.."Why?"

Aston smiled. "Because it’s none of your business and theirs.."

He stepped back. "You wanted to know how many males she was into? find it out yourself."

Caelan’s expression darkened. Aston continued. "You want to know what happened between us? Investigate it."

He walked back to the sofa. "And if you want to understand Vivian’s power, you’ll have to discover that yourself, too."

He sat down and crossed his legs again.."I’m done entertaining you."

Caelan stood motionless..His chest rose and fell as he struggled to control his anger.

Aston’s final words struck harder than any physical blow.

"I don’t want you walking away from here believing Vivian only ever wanted you."

His smile was cruel.."She wanted us all ....Us All and the love is equal.."

Aston just wanted Caelan’s belief that Vivian loved him alone should end. His big ego should burn to ashes.

Caelan’s face twisted. Before he could respond, a sharp ringing sound interrupted the silence.

Aston’s communicator vibrated.

He glanced at the screen.

The moment he saw the name displayed, his expression changed.

Vivian. For the first time since Caelan had entered the room, Aston’s smile was genuine.

He answered immediately.

"Vivian?"

Caelan’s entire body went rigid.

That voice. The Alpha King had spoken to him with cold mockery, but the moment he answered Vivian’s call, his tone had softened.

Caelan stared at the communicator in Aston’s hand.

He saw Vivian Calling. He clenched his fist. "I have to let Vivian know too..that I love her. And I will tell her Aston’s true identity. I am very sure she hates betrayals...."
