"Look at what you have done to my son."
Every word cut deeper than the last.
"You had taken him away from me, but you still couldn't take good care of him."
Gerald struggled against the pressure, his breathing uneven as he forced himself to look up.
"We don't know what happened, Royal Alpha..." he managed to say. "But... how is Cooper your son?"
Liam looked equally confused. To both of them, Cooper had always been Ethan's son. That was the truth they had believed for the past three years. How had everything suddenly changed?
Kade looked back at Cooper before answering.
"This is my son with Dakota."
Although his voice remained steady, the grief hidden beneath those words was unmistakable.
"Dakota gave birth to twins three years ago. One is a girl, and the other is a boy."
His gaze rested gently upon Cooper.
"Ethan stole those children from their rightful parents and claimed to be their father."
