Chapter 180: Reunion and Revelation.

(Aria’s POV)

Mrs. Caroline Lewis’s arms wrapped around me with a desperate intensity, as if she feared I might vanish again at any moment. Her silver hair brushed against my face, and I could feel her tears soaking through my hospital gown.

“My Nannan,” she whispered over and over, her voice breaking with twenty years of suppressed grief. “My precious baby girl. I knew it was you. I knew it from the moment I saw you.”

Her maternal wolf’s scent enveloped me, carrying notes of recognition and overwhelming joy. The familiarity of it made my own wolf howl with emotions I couldn’t name.

I couldn’t stop crying, my hands clutching at her shoulders as if she might disappear. “Mother,” I sobbed, the word feeling both foreign and perfectly natural on my tongue.

“Aria,” she murmured, pulling back to cup my face in her hands. “My beautiful daughter. You’re here. You’re really here.”

Dr. Nathan Lewis stepped forward, his professional instincts warring with his emotional state. “Mother,

please calm down,” he said gently, his brown eyes filled with concern. “Remember, Aria is pregnant. Too much excitement could be harmful to her and the pup.”

His voice carried the authority of a werewolf physician, but it was softened by the joy radiating from his

scent. “We need to be careful with her condition.”

Mrs. Lewis nodded, though she seemed reluctant to release me. She wiped at her tear–streaked face with

trembling hands, trying to compose herself.

“You’re right, of course,” she said, her voice still thick with emotion. “I just… I’ve waited so long for this

moment.”

She looked at me with such profound love that it made my heart ache. “I always knew you were alive. My wolf never stopped searching for you, even when everyone else gave up hope.”

“Others didn’t believe you?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Mrs. Lewis’s expression grew slightly bitter. “They said I was delusional. That my episodes were just manifestations of grief. But a mother’s bond with her pup… nothing can break that connection.”

Her silver eyes met mine, filled with maternal pride. “My enhanced maternal instincts ne

The memory of her episodes suddenly made perfect sense. She hadn’t been mistaking me for her lost

“I’m still having trouble believing this,” I admitted, my hand instinctively moving to my belly where my own pup was growing. “I had a good life with my adoptive parents. They loved me.”

Mrs. Lewis’s face softened with gratitude. “I’m so thankful for that,” she said, her voice trembling. “They gave you the love and care I couldn’t provide.”

Dominic, who had been standing protectively nearby, stapped forward. His sowed high year was controlled curiosity as he asked, “Mrs. Lewis, can you tell us about the croyances of Mas disappearance?

His silver gray eyes were sharp with interest. Understanding what happened might help us present something similar from occurring again

Mrs. Lewis’s expression grew pained as she delived into the traumatic memory it was twenty years ap was only two years old then, such a precious little pup

She paused, her hands wringing together. “We were having a family gathering at our tentory had put her down for a nap in the nursery with her regular caretaker watching over her?

Her voice began to shake. “I was only gone for a few minutes, speaking with some park members downstairs. When I returned…”

“They were both gone,” Dr. Lewis finished grimly, his professional demeanor masking his own pain. “The nursemaid and Aria had vanished completely, Mrs. Lewis continued, her wolf’s scent heavy with old grief, “It was like they had disappeared into thin air”

Dominic’s Alpha instincts immediately sharpened. “What did you discover about the nursemaid?”

“That’s the most disturbing part,” Mrs. Lewis replied, her voice dropping to a whisper. The woman we found had been taking care of Aria wasn’t our regular nursemaid at all.

My blood ran cold at her words. “What do you mean?”

“She was an imposter,” Dr. Lewis explained, his medical training evident in his methodical recounting “Someone had replaced our real nursemaid and gained access to our territory.”

“The real nursemaid was found bound and gagged in a storage room,” Mrs. Lewis added, her voice trembling. “She had been there for hours.”

Dominic’s expression darkened, his Alpha mind immediately grasping the implications. This was premeditated. Someone planned this k********g carefully

His silver–gray eyes flashed with anger. “They studied your family, your routines, your staff. This wasn’t a

random crime,”

The revelation sent shockwaves through me. I hadn’t just been lost – I had been deliberately stolen from my

family.

“But why?” I asked, my voice barely audible. “Why would someone take me?”

Mrs. Lewis shook her head helplessly. “We never understood. The imposter nursemaid took you away, and we never saw either of you again.”

Dominic’s strategic mind was clearly working through the possibilities. “Was there any evidence of an inside accomplice? Someone who helped the imposter gain access to your territory?”

She paused, her expression frustrated. “But I found nothing suspicious to one seemed to have any metin

“That’s what makes this so strange, Dr. Lewis added, his brown eyes troubled Usually, kidnappings are

motivated by ransom demands or political feverage?

Dominic nodded grimly. “But no ransom was ever demanded?
