"And then send him and his sons straight to the grave to join him."
Kayden's eyes snapped open. He glared at Andres, shaking with pure rage.
"Colter has already lost everything! You're going to strip away his last chance at survival?"
Andres sneered. "So Colter's life matters, but my mother's life doesn't?"
"The moment you decided to target my family, you should have seen this coming."
"A wolf cub grows up to be an alpha. And an alpha never leaves loose ends that could threaten his pack."
Kayden snarled, "He is your own flesh and blood!"
Andres's voice was ice. "Blood means absolutely nothing in the White Family."
Kayden pointed a shaking finger at Andres.
"If you dare lay a finger on Colter, I will curse you to your dying breath! You will never know peace!"
A normal person's curse could be brushed off as an empty threat.
But Kayden was a practitioner of the dark arts. A dying curse from him might actually stick.
Sylvia immediately stepped in to warn Andres.
"My master mentioned once that his exiled colleague was incredibly powerful in the dark arts."
"Mr. Andres, I know this is family business, but you've dragged The Luminary Order into this."
"To prevent an absolute disaster, let me give you a piece of advice: it’s better to cross an honest man than a spiteful snake.."
The disciples of The Luminary Order were already deeply annoyed with their so-called uncle.
Because of his personal vendettas, their master's reputation had almost been destroyed, and they were the ones stuck cleaning up his mess.
Both professionally and personally, Sylvia wanted to minimize the damage.
If Kayden's dying curse came true, The Luminary Order would be drowning in scandal for years.
She had to stop this before the consequences became irreversible.
Elijah and Ian also urged Andres to stay calm and not trigger Kayden's curse.
"Your so-called older brother, Colter, doesn't have a drop of your dad's blood in him."
"It's really your dad's fault for being a notorious playboy. Colter's mother wanted to secure her spot in a wealthy family but couldn't get her foot in the door, so..."
Maeve gestured toward Kayden with her chin.
"...she used this old guy to get pregnant, hoping she could pass the kid off as a White and ride into a life of luxury."
"But your dad didn't buy her act and kicked her out."
"This old man obviously wasn't going to let his own flesh and blood wander the streets, but he was also terrified the mother would spill the beans."
"And then, shockingly, Colter's mother dies a mysterious death. He uses his position as the butler to conveniently bring his son back."
"Not only does he get to raise his boy right under your noses, but he also earns brownie points with your dad for being so loyal."
"And once the boy grew up, he could use his status as the eldest son to fight for the throne."
"Hit three birds with one stone. He really thought he had it all figured out."
