Chapter 337: The Abomination

Raul sat alone in his office, the room dimly lit by a single flickering candle. The weight of Olivera's words pressed heavily on his mind. She had told him something that seemed impossible, something that threatened to shatter his entire understanding of his past.

According to his mate, his father had lied to him. But how could that be? His father had always been a beacon of honesty and integrity, a guiding force in his life. The idea that he had been deceiving Raul all along felt like a betrayal too deep to comprehend.

He leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair as he replayed the conversation with Olivera in his mind. Her eyes had been filled with sincerity, her voice steady and unwavering. She was his mate, the one person he was supposed to trust implicitly. The bond they shared was unbreakable, rooted in truth and loyalty. How could she lie to him? The very thought seemed absurd. And yet, the doubt lingered.
