The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Come Back to Me

Aeron’s POV~

I could not believe my own eyes. For months, I had thought this day might never come, and yet here he was, Lucian. My baby brother.

The first shock still burned inside me when the second one hit even harder. Why now? Why suddenly? Why choose this night of all nights to appear?

Hope, joy, happiness—they all flooded me, rising too fast for me to hold. I wanted to go to him. I wanted to wrap him in my arms like Kael did, like Luca did, to feel for myself that he was real, standing here after all this time.

But I didn’t move.

I only smiled, watching the three of them cling to each other, my brothers, the boys I had raised with my own hands even when we are of the same age. They were happy, and so was I. But unlike them, I could not show it, one of us has to take the responsibility here.

It was not because I lacked love. No, I loved Lucian more than I could ever say. But the timing... it was wrong. Because lying in front of us, on our land, was Alpha Navien, broken, disgraced and humiliated.

He was the council’s hound.

I never liked him or his arrogance, but I knew the truth, this mess happened in our territory, which meant the council would come for us.

And when they came, they would not care about love or family reunions. They would only see Navien’s blood staining our soil.

A headache was already pressing against my temples. Peace, if there ever was such a thing for us... was gone. Chaos was walking straight into my life again.

Lucian’s eyes found mine. He smiled. A small, steady smile that reached deep inside me.

I nodded back. No words, just that. We both knew we would talk later, alone. He must have known I could not show my heart here. Because we couldn’t simply ignore Alpha Navien and start celebrating here.

I turned away and walked forward, toward the ruined body that started all this.
