Episode: 6
Lucian's female confidante hands him a key, allowing him into the castle's private obsidian chamber. Inside, they open an old ledger detailing pack prophecies. Lucian learns the council watched Aria from childhood because a prophecy said she would break the Alpha order. When a white-haired elder catches them and demands the book, Lucian defies him. Lucian escapes with the records back to his study, determined to bring Aria home.
Lucian meets his female confidante in the castle study. She hands him a key to the restricted obsidian chamber. Lucian enters the room alone and pulls a secret record book about pack lineages and prophecies from the shelf.
Lucian and his confidante inspect the pages together. They read that the pack tracked Aria from childhood because a prophecy claimed she would upend the Alpha order as Luna. Lucian realizes the elders tricked him into public rejection.
A white-haired council elder confronts them inside the chamber. Lucian calls out the obsidian mark on the man's wrist. The elder threatens to strip Lucian of his title, but the confidante helps Lucian flee with the records.
Back at his desk, Lucian stares at the documents proving the council deceived him. He acknowledges the pain he inflicted on Aria because of their schemes. He makes a firm choice to track down Aria on his own.
“You used me to condemn my own fated mate.”
“Return that ledger, or surrender your alpha title tonight.”
“I rejected her for their lie. I will find her.”
Lucian now holds documented proof that the elders deceived him about his mate. Instead of backing down from the council's threats to strip his rank, he commits to finding Aria himself. Will Lucian reach Aria before the elders hunt her down, or will her growing power make her reject him when they meet?
