We Built a Kingdom From Ashes That Still Remembered Love by Aila Frost 803 Summary

The chapter reveals a painful conversation between the narrator and Erik about Irene’s complicated past and her relationships. Erik explains that Irene’s heart was stolen by Ethan, who triggered her wolf transformation and convinced her they were destined mates. However, Irene became dangerously obsessed with Ethan, ignoring Erik, who was her true mate. During this time, Erik was occupied with family responsibilities and had little contact with Irene.

After Irene and Ethan split, she was devastated, and Erik hoped she would heal before he could claim her as his mate. However, upon his return, Irene had met Chuck, who she and others believed to be her fated mate. Erik expresses confusion and anger over this, revealing that a Seer told him Irene was being manipulated by a Siren—a supernatural being that can deceive others into thinking they are destined mates, causing deep emotional harm.

Erik clarifies that Chuck is not Irene’s true mate but a Siren who deceived her for his own gain, leaving her broken and unable to see Erik as her mate. The narrator urges Erik to inform Gavin, Irene’s father and Alpha, about the situation, hoping Gavin can help break the spell or find a solution. Erik is hesitant due to the sensitive nature of their relationship with Gavin but acknowledges the seriousness of the situation.

The chapter ends with the two of them grappling with the reality of Irene’s manipulation and the urgent need to uncover Chuck’s intentions and what Irene might be sacrificing under the Siren’s influence. The tension is palpable as they prepare to confront the dangerous truth and seek a way to save Irene.

Chapter 803

I winced at his words, the sting of them settling deep inside me.

“Let me guess… was it Ethan?” I asked cautiously.

He gave a tired nod, rolling his eyes in frustration.

“Yeah, that bastard,” he muttered under his breath. “He stole her heart. At the time, she had no clue about you. You know how that story ended. But here’s the thing—she had just started to awaken her wolf around when she met Ethan. She convinced herself that maybe they were meant to be, since meeting him seemed to trigger that transformation.”

I couldn’t help but roll my eyes in response; they were anything but destined to be together. It infuriated me that Ethan had made her feel that way, especially when he was supposed to be my mate back then.

“Keep going,” I urged him, eager to hear the rest.

“Well, her wolf had chosen Ethan as her mate, and Irene was completely obsessed with him—like, dangerously obsessed. She couldn’t see past him, not even a little. Meanwhile, I was assigned to other duties and barely got any time with her.”

“Did she recognize you as her mate at all?” I asked, hoping for some sign of clarity.

He shook his head slowly.

“I think she sensed something, but she was so wrapped up in Ethan and the idea that he was her destiny, she just didn’t notice anything else. I mean, she nearly killed her own brother over it, for crying out loud.”

The memory made me cringe, but I stayed silent, letting him continue.

“You can’t deny she wasn’t herself back then. You might not have known her for long before all this, but can you honestly say the Irene you know now is even remotely like the one from that time?”

I shook my head, admitting the truth.

“No, she was completely different,” I said quietly.

He nodded. “Even more so before that. All the heartbreak—it changed her. She’s better now than when she was with Ethan, but I can’t blame her for the way she changed.”

“So what happened after she and Ethan split?” I pressed.

“She was devastated, couldn’t see past the pain. Around that time, I was dealing with family issues—my mother was ill, and someone had to care for her and my sister. I took some time off, hoping Irene would use that time to heal. I wanted her to recover, to mend her broken heart before I came back and claimed her as my mate. But by the time I returned…”

“She met Chuck,” I finished slowly, piecing the story together. But then a frown crept across my face. “But… I don’t understand. She recognized Chuck as her fated mate, and he recognized her too. How is that even possible?”

He pressed his lips together, cheeks flushing with a mix of anger and frustration. The hatred in his eyes was unmistakable.

“I didn’t get it either,” he admitted quietly. “I was confused and pissed off. Then I saw a Seer, and she told me Irene was being manipulated by a Siren.”

I blinked, stunned.

“A Siren?” I echoed. “Like a mermaid?”

He shook his head firmly.

“No… like Chuck.”

I cocked my head, skeptical.

“I didn’t think Sirens were real. I always thought they were just mermaids in fairy tales.”

He gave a small, bitter smile. “Those kinds of Sirens are just stories. The real ones can be male, female, or anything in between. They don’t need to sing to charm someone. They can make anyone believe they’re their destined mate. They draw you in so deeply you feel like you can’t live without them. They take everything they want from you, and when they break your heart, it feels like your whole world has ended. You see nothing but that pain.”

His words shattered something inside me.

“Are you saying Irene was tricked by a Siren?” I whispered, barely able to breathe.

He nodded, his lips pressed tightly together as he unbuckled his seatbelt. I could tell the story was weighing heavily on him, and he needed to release some of the tension.

“That’s exactly it. Chuck was never her true mate. He only pretended to be. He wanted something from her, and once he got it, he left. Or maybe he hasn’t gotten it yet and just messed up. Either way, Irene’s still under his spell. She’s broken, and she doesn’t see me as her mate. To her, I’m someone who could hurt her.”

Without another word, he opened the car door and stepped out. I quickly unbuckled and followed, my footsteps quickening to catch up as we headed toward the front entrance.

“Gavin needs to know about this,” I said urgently. “If Irene’s under some kind of spell or Siren’s enchantment, maybe Gavin can break it or find someone who can.”

Erik shook his head grimly. “The Alpha would lose it if he knew I was mated to his daughter.”

I grabbed his arm, stopping him in his tracks.

“No, he wouldn’t. Give him more credit. He didn’t kick Ethan’s or Chuck’s ass, and he won’t kick yours. But this is serious, Erik. Dangerous. Irene walked right into a trap, and Gavin deserves to know.”

He was quiet, clearly weighing my words carefully.

“Plus,” I added, “we need to figure out what the hell Chuck wanted from her—and what Irene is willing to give.”

He looked at me, the weight of the situation sinking in between us. The air around us felt heavy with unspoken fears and the desperate hope that we could somehow save her.
