The Prince'S Unexpected Family

Olivia, the daughter of a noble family, had lost her mother at a young age. Later, she was framed by her malicious stepsister, which led to an unexpected encounter with the warrior Shawn, and she bore his child, Waylon. Five years later, Shawn discovered the existence of his child and began to search for them. As Olivia and Shawn spent more time together, they gradually developed feelings for each other. Eventually, they were formally recognised by one another, and Olivia and Waylon became beloved members of the royal household.

Rain lashed the cobblestones as I pulled Waylon closer, his small fingers gripping my cloak. Behind us, the orphanage gate clanged shut—our last refuge gone. "Mama, why are we running?" he whispered, eyes wide like mine. I had no answer that wouldn’t break his heart. Then I saw him—tall, cloaked, standing beneath the gaslit archway like a specter from my nightmares. Shawn. Five years since our single night, since the lie that banished me. And now he stood there, staring at my son like he’d seen a ghost. "That boy," he said, voice low and rough, "has my eyes."

He stepped forward, hand on his sword hilt—not to draw, but to steady himself. "Olivia… what did they do to you?"

Before I could speak, hoofbeats thundered down the alley. Torches flared. Isolde’s men. We were trapped between the past and the hunters.
