**Chapter 398 p>
In the shadows of the dimly lit room, a sense of foreboding hung thick in the air. Most wolves, if they were honest with themselves, would have brushed it off as mere coincidence—an imitation, nothing more than a clever ruse.
After all, replicas of rare relics were a common occurrence. Freya’s ruby necklace could easily be dismissed as yet another shrewd imitation, crafted from an old design that once belonged to the illustrious Williams Family.
But the true heirloom of the Williams line had vanished without a trace fifty years ago, disappearing alongside the Alpha’s younger sister—Everett’s only sibling—on that fateful night when she fled into the treacherous borderlands, never to be seen again.
The Williams Family had been searching ever since, their hearts heavy with the weight of loss.
Searching for Naya.
Searching for the necklace.
Because if they ever found one, they might finally uncover the other.
The heirloom had been the cherished dowry of the former Luna, a masterpiece crafted by the most skilled artificers of the William Dominion. It was forged with moon-silver, a metal known for its ability to resist corruption. Naya had cherished it dearly as a child, so much so that the Luna had fastened it around her young daughter’s neck as a precious keepsake. That necklace had been one of a kind. No duplicate existed in any marketplace across the vast continent.
Which was precisely why Lana froze mid-adjustment as she helped fasten the ruby pendant around Freya’s delicate throat.
“Wait—Freya, hold still for a moment,” Lana urged, leaning in closer. “There’s… something etched into the chain. It’s tiny, but I swear there’s a letter p>
Freya blinked, lowering her chin slightly to get a better look.
“It’s a name,” she whispered, her voice barely above a murmur. “Brown. It was on the necklace when my grandfather found my mother. She was just a baby then. They used the word ‘Brown’ as her surname because it was the only clue they had about her identity p>
Lana exhaled softly, a wave of sympathy washing over her. She already knew the story—the tale of Freya’s mother, Myra, who had been an orphan taken in by the Thorne family of the Stormveil Pack’s fifth branch.
In those unforgiving decades, orphaned pups were far too common; the wars had torn Packs apart, scorched territories, and claimed countless wolfborn lives. Freya’s mother had been one of the fortunate few—found, sheltered, raised with care.
But just a few steps away, Jenny had caught every word, her heart sinking as the implications unfolded.
Her blood ran cold at the mention of that name.
Brown.
The very surname engraved into the Williams Family heirloom had been Brown—the Luna’s maiden name before she had married into the Alpha line.
Her breath hitched in her throat, and a storm of thoughts raged through her mind.
If this necklace was indeed the same heirloom…
If Freya’s mother had been found with it…
Then Freya’s mother might not have been an orphan at all.
She might have been Naya.
The lost wolf-sister of the Williams Family.
Jenny’s face drained of color, her stomach twisting with dread and something far more sinister—fear.
If that were true, then Parker Williams, the heir the family had long believed lost, shared blood with Freya.
And Freya—
the girl Jenny had always dismissed, always belittled—
would be the trueborn descendant of the Williams Alpha line, the rightful heiress.
The current family head had never married and had no children.
This meant the closest blood ties remaining could very well be…
Freya Thorne.
Eric Thorne.
They, not Jenny, would be the ones standing closest to the Williams legacy.
If their identities were confirmed, every single plan Jenny had—marrying into Parker’s line, securing the family’s wealth, solidifying her status—would come crashing down like a house of cards.
No.
She could never allow that to happen.
If the necklace was the key, then it had to be destroyed.
Before anyone else could lay eyes on it.
Before Parker could unlock any more memories.
Before Freya could be recognized for who she truly was.
Her eyes narrowed, turning feral and cold.
She had to act.
Across the hall, Parker’s gaze was fixed on Freya, who stood in her gown, the ruby pendant glowing like captured fire against her skin.
And then—
his vision blurred, reality warping around him.
A different figure emerged, overlapping with Freya’s: a woman clad in a faded floral dress, sunlight dancing in her smile, the same red gem resting above her heart.
“Do you like it?” she had asked, her voice warm and inviting.
“Yeah,” his youthful voice had replied, timid and earnest. “It’s pretty p>
A shard of pain split through Parker’s skull, sharp and unexpected.
He staggered, clutching his head as sweat broke out across his forehead.
Images crashed over him—violent, unbidden memories.
His mother, kneeling amidst the wreckage of a war-torn outpost.
Explosions shook the very ground as she pressed the necklace into the hands of a foreign traveler.
Her voice trembled, laced with desperation.
Her scent—wolfborn, warm, fading.
Even then, he had understood the necklace’s significance.
It was proof of her bloodline.
The only link she had to her origins—her true family.
Yet she had sacrificed it for food. For medicine. For survival.
Parker had made a promise that day, one etched into the very marrow of his bones:
I will find it again. No matter how long it takes. I will bring it back to her.
His knees buckled under the weight of the memories.
A voice cut through the haze, sharp and concerned.
“Parker! Parker, what’s wrong p>
Small hands gripped his arm—Freya’s hands, grounding and familiar.
He forced his eyes open, her scent wrapping around him like a warm embrace—soft, pack-kin, the scent he had ignored for far too long.
“I… remembered something,” he murmured hoarsely, the words spilling out like a broken dam.
“Memories of our mother. She… she used to wear this necklace p>
Freya froze, her eyes wide with hope and disbelief.
“You… you remembered?” Her voice trembled, filled with a mixture of fear and excitement. “Parker, are you sure? You really remember p>
He nodded faintly, pulling her into a tight embrace, as if he could shield her from the world.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered, his voice rough and raw. “I forgot too much. And I came back too late p>
Late to return to the Pack lands before their parents were buried.
Late, and so convinced he wasn’t a Thorne at all.
Late, and blind to the danger Freya had faced while protecting him—taking a bullet for him, while he denied her as kin.
“Not late,” Freya sobbed softly into his chest, her tears soaking through his shirt. “You’re here now. That’s enough, Parker. No matter what you remember or don’t—
you’re my brother. You always will be p>
Her wolf’s emotions rippled through her scent—relief, grief, joy all tangled together like a beautiful tapestry.
Parker held her tighter, anchoring himself to the moment.
This time, he did not let go.
Across the hall, Jenny Williams watched with a darkening expression, her heart pounding with dread.
No.
This could not happen.
If Parker regained his memories…
If the Pack elders examined the necklace…
If they traced the Brown engraving…
Freya would rise, and Jenny’s ambitions would crumble into dust.
She clenched her fists until her nails bit into her palms, the pain grounding her in reality.
She would destroy that necklace if she had to rip it off Freya’s throat herself.
As night settled over the District, wolf-lamps flickering low against the encroaching darkness, a palpable tension filled the air.
Inside Freya’s room, Lana hung up the pale moon-silk gown Freya had worn earlier, the fabric shimmering faintly in the dim light. The gemstone lay on its velvet stand, catching the light in a way that made it appear almost alive.
“Your brother’s incredible,” Lana remarked, glancing at Freya, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
“He saw you liked the dress and bought it without a second thought p>
Freya smiled softly, warmth blooming in her chest.
Eric had always been good to her—when he wasn’t lost in denial or drowning in the shadows of a past he couldn’t remember.
But tonight, something had shifted.
Tonight, he had remembered something.
Something precious.
The moment he laid eyes on the ruby necklace—their mother’s necklace—
the floodgates of memories had burst open.
“Yeah,” Freya whispered, her fingers brushing against the ruby’s surface, feeling its warmth.
“He… remembered because of this piece p>
In the twilight of their shared past, Freya and Parker stood on the precipice of revelation, their bond now fortified by the memories that had long eluded them. The weight of the ruby necklace, a symbol of their lost lineage, hung heavily around Freya’s neck, illuminating the shadows of their family history. As Parker clutched her tightly, the world around them faded into insignificance, leaving only the truth of their connection—siblings bound not just by blood but by the trials they had faced apart and the love that had drawn them back together. Freya’s heart swelled with a mixture of joy and sorrow, knowing that their reunion came at a time when the stakes had never been higher; they were now not just siblings, but heirs to a legacy that had been hidden in the darkness for far too long.
Yet, lurking in the shadows was Jenny, her ambitions threatening to unravel as the truth emerged. The necklace, once a mere ornament in Freya’s life, had transformed into a battleground for familial loyalty and power. The revelation of Freya’s true identity could shatter Jenny’s carefully constructed plans, igniting a fierce desperation within her. As night deepened, the air crackled with tension, each heartbeat echoing the stakes of their intertwined fates. In this moment of vulnerability, the siblings stood united, ready to confront whatever challenges lay ahead, their love illuminating the path through the encroaching darkness. Together, they would seek not only the truth of their heritage but the strength to reclaim their rightful place in a world that had long sought to keep them apart.
