Ah so he did hold the soiree for them! I kinda had that hunch in the novel, as much as it’s an excuse to see Clough. I really think he just wanted to establish a friendship this time, if Clough did end up marrying Raphael in this second world.
I can’t get the image of Raphael’s face off my head!
He looks so much like Aeroc, not Raphael W. Like that he shoves Martha’s hands off. She needs to see the errors of her own lapse in judgment, she should have expected this. Just as Clough should have known that his kids be horrified of the truth.
I do hope we get a scene showing that Jasper/Jester is alright. I know the imprint is acting up, and he needs to vent, but all Clough has really done is hurt people. He created his own misfortunes, too bad he needs a second chance to see the mistakes he’s done.
The artist really did a great job with the transition of scenes! If only you have a physical book! I’ll buy it! I’d love to have this on my shelf (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Thank you for the update Meru!!! This was an haunting chapter, it gave me goosebumps.

Seeing the raws. I’m happy that we get to see Aeroc’s thoughts about what’s happening, I’m really curious. Since the novel was all on Kloff’s pov. I’m looking forward to more scenes with Aeroc!
What upsets me about this chapter was Kloff knew Aeroc was having a hard time during his fifth or forth pregnancy, that he was consuming an alarming rate of painkillers, but didn’t take him to the estate to be cared for or have a doctor examined him. It wasn’t just Aeroc he was hurting it was also the baby by just letting Aeroc live in that cabin, an omega male can only give birth three times. His a really selfish bastard.
I read the scene in the novel about Raphael getting angry about Aeroc, but seeing the horror and despair in his face when Kloff told him you look like your mother that’s why you were name after him, Raphael Westport. It really hit hard.
Seeing Jester run after Raphael broke my heart, I want to know what they talked about damn it! Jester stopping Kloff from destroying Aeroc’s tombstone and getting hurt ╥﹏╥

Because he couldn’t accept that this revenge just made him more miserable, he needed validation that be didn’t do anything wrong. It keeps him sane. He killed his imprinted omega, forced him to give birth beyond his body’s limit. Aeroc was suffering but he kept on tormenting him because someone needs to be punished for this desires. His children born with drug addiction. He knew he fucked-up, so he made it an excuse that this is all for Raphael Westport.
Clough pathetic and his son saw that…

I knew it. He wanted something more than the kid! I think all that crap he did was to pressure Noah, to show him a bit what he’s can do, and if worst happens what his family could do. Power and money speaks volumes. With Noah shaken, he will make a rush decision.
Marriage was definitely in my mind, but that was like a MAYBE. They are bonded so it could be for convenience, his son is a hyper dominant as well, taking Noah as a wife is more convenient.
I’m kind of curious if Cassian’s going to use one of his new skills, especially the one he wanted to seal hahaha. Next week is going to be interesting!
And Driver is sooo coooool!!! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
