The Betrayed Princess Rising (Lylah and Ezra) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125

Lylah’s POV

Relief crashed over me so hard my knees nearly buckled.

My confession hadn’t ruined everything. It hadn’t unleashed some hidden disaster waiting to strike–no secret lover on his council. No wounded mate waiting for him back in the Moonclaw Pack. No one who would be hurt by what had passed between us.

Just… him. And me.

Warmth spread through my chest, dizzying and light, until it turned into something dangerously close to giddiness.

Giddy at the thought that I was the one Ezra had always wanted.

It felt impossible. Ezra was an Alpha–powerful, revered, a man the finest ladies of Verdanth would gladly give their hearts to. Men like him were surrounded by admiration wherever they went. The idea that his heart had never truly belonged to anyone before… that it might have been waiting for me… felt almost too unbelievable to hold.

And yet… for this moment, I allowed myself to believe him.

‘There’s actually something I need to show you,” he said.

I lifted my gaze to him and nodded. “Then show me.”

Ezra guided me through the doors of his chambers. The moment I stepped inside, the rich scent of him wrapped around me. He led me to sit on the wide bed draped in dark silk before disappearing into the adjoining room.

When Ezra returned, several papers were clasped in his hand.

He laid them across the sheet between us.

Each document was crafted from thick, fine parchment, the Moonclaw Pack’s sigil stamped in gleaming silver wax.

“I should have shown you these a long time ago,” he said quietly. “I kept waiting for the right moment, not wanting to burden you, and somehow the moment kept slipping away.”

My brows knit together as I looked at the stack. “What are they?”

“Some of my assets,” he said softly. “They were transferred to their rightful owner the moment you became my Luna.”

My stomach tightened.

“To you.”

My gaze dropped back to the documents.

And then I froze.

There was no trace of Ezra’s name anywhere on the pages.

Only mine.

‘I can’t.” I shook my head, my heart racing. “How could you give me something like this? How could you rust me so easily? This is enormous.”
