Fated to My Twin Sister's Alpha (Violet and Asher) novel Chapter 74

Chapter74

Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. This was no longer

just about Isaac’s greed or jealousy. He had tapped into

something far darker, far more dangerous than we could have

imagined.

“But how did Isaac even get the bloom in the first place?” Asher

asked, his tone edged with frustration. “If your pack has been

guarding it for generations, how did he get past you?”

Charlotte’s expression darkened. “I don’t know,” she admitted.

“The bloom is kept under constant watch. No one outside the

pack should have access to it. But if Isaac managed to take it, it

means someone here betrayed us.”

Her words hung in the air, heavy and damning. The magical

flower, the betrayal Charlotte’s side, and the mysterious

decedent that Isaac had gotten hold of.

Looks like now he had all the leverage and we had none.

Asher’s POV

“Then how do we stop Isaac and get Mia back?”

Violet looked at Charlotte with desperation in her eyes, her

voice trembling. “We’re running out of time, and we still don’t

have any real leads.”

“There is one possibility,” Charlotte said carefully. “The Royal

Council. They may know secrets even I don’t. There are…

rumors of another plant that could weaken the magic.”

I glanced at Charlotte, skepticism bubbling up inside me.

“Another plant? Like the Celestine Bloom?”

“Yes,” she said, nodding. “The Royal Council is deeply tied to the

roots of magical knowledge. If anyone knows how to counter

Isaac, it’s them.”

Violet’s face twisted with frustration. “And you’re just telling us

this now? That’s another half an hour we wasted!” she snapped.

Charlotte met her gaze evenly. “Because the Royal Council

won’t be eager to help. The existence of magic is supposed to be

a secret. The Royal Council is very discreet about it. They are

reluctant to share any knowledge about magic to outsiders like

you, and you know how stubborn they can be.”

Her words only fueled my anger. I had let things come to this

because I had underestimated Isaac. I had underestimated his

rage, his determination to ruin my life. This must stop. I

wouldn’t let that goddamn council stop me from getting my

daughter back. I’d had enough of those old men’s lectures and

principles anyway.

“I don’t care what it takes,” I said, my deep voice echoing across

the room. “If the Council has answers, I’ll get them.”

Charlotte shook her head slightly, her expression filled with

doubt, “It might not be as easy as it seems, Asher. Magic is a

dangerous thing that requires sacrifice. The Royal Council kept

those knowledges as a secret for a reason.”

I sneered. I didn’t care their fucking reason. All I knew was I

didn’t want Violet to stay in pain anymore and I wasn’t about to

let a group of old wolves dictate how far I could go for my

daughter.

“They’ll help. Or they’ll regret it.”

Philip joined me on the trip to meet with the Royal Council.

And these people were just as insufferable as I remembered,

with their self–importance, the smug face, the high–backed

chairs they sat in, and that indifferent look they gave us when

we walked in.

“King Asher,” one of the elders said in a voice like gravel. “To

what do we owe the pleasure?”

I was in no mood for wordplay and chit–chat. Mia was waiting.

Every minute counted.

“You know why I’m here. So let’s cut the crap,” I said roughly,

glancing around the room. “Isaac has taken my daughter. He’s
