Chapter Thirthy Two: Cara Is Pregnant (Liam’s POV)Cara’s sudden collapse sent the entire room into chaos. One moment, she was standing there, tears streaming down her face as my mother ordered her out of the pack. The next, she swayed on her feet, her face going pale before she fell to the ground, clutching her stomach.“Cara!” I yelled, rushing to her side.She was unconscious, her breathing uneven. My heart pounded in my chest as I scooped her up into my arms. All my doubts, all the accusations, everything disappeared in that moment. Nothing mattered except getting her help.“She’s faking it,” my mother spat, folding her arms. “Don’t fall for her tricks, Liam.”“She’s not faking it!” Sophia snapped, kneeling beside me. “Can’t you see she’s sick?”Vanessa scoffed. “Sick or not, she doesn’t belong here. You should let her leave just as your mother ordered.”I shot her a glare. “Shut up, Vanessa.”For the first time, I wasn’t interested in pleasing anyone—my mother, my father, Vaness

Chapter Thirty One : SchemeCara’s POVThe room spun around me. My chest felt heavy, my throat tight.Luna’s voice echoed in my ears, sharp and filled with disgust.“Get out!” she screamed, pointing at the door. “You can’t stay in this pack! Someone like you will never be our next Luna.”Tears blurred my vision as I shook my head frantically. “No, please! You have to believe me! It’s a setup! I didn’t do it!” My voice cracked with desperation.Liam stood there, frozen. His eyes were clouded with confusion, his fists clenched at his sides. I searched his face for something—anything—that would tell me he believed me.But he said nothing.His silence shattered me more than Luna’s cruel words.I took a shaky step forward, but Vanessa’s voice cut through the tension like a blade.“She doesn’t deserve to be Luna,” Vanessa sneered, crossing her arms. “Just look at her. She doesn’t have the appearance, the status, or the class. And now, she’s going after Liam’s father?” She let out a cold lau

Chapter Thirty : The BetrayalLiam's POVI was sitting in my room with my men, my fingers tapping on the wooden table. My mind had not been at peace since we returned home. Cara had been through too much, and I was taking no chances."She can't go anywhere alone," I said emphatically, my voice not open to discussion. "At least three of you must follow her everywhere she goes."The men nodded, their faces grave."She might not like it," one of them, Marcus, spoke up."I don't care," I replied. "This doesn't have anything to do with what she likes. This is about keeping her safe."No sooner had I spoken than the door swung open.Luna Mariana, my mother, stood in the doorway. Her face was impassive, but her eyes—there was something in her eyes, something that twisted my gut."Liam," she said, her voice steady but commanding. "Come with me. You need to see something."I frowned. "What is it?""Just come with me," she said.I paused. Something was not right, but this was my mother. I trust

Chapter Twenty Nine : A Deal for My MateCara's POVMy stomach growled as I walked down the hall, towards the kitchen. I was exhausted from everything that had happened, and all I wanted was a warm meal and some peace.The house was quiet, the air still. It was a strange kind of quiet, the kind that precedes a storm.As I neared the kitchen, I was just going to enter when I heard a voice I recognized.Vanessa.I stopped, my hand mid-air before I opened the door.Her voice was smooth, confident—perhaps too confident.Something in her tone made me hesitate. Instead of entering, I stepped back, pressing myself against the wall and listening."Luna, you know how much I respect Liam. He deserves a strong partner beside him. Someone like me."I frowned.What was she up to?Luna sighed. "Vanessa, I already said, this is not my choice to make. Liam will select his own mate.""But why should he pick someone weak?" Vanessa insisted. "Cara doesn't have a powerful lineage. She has no powers. She

Chapter Twenty Eight: An Unexpected WelcomeCara’s POVThe journey back home was exhausting. My entire body ached, and Liam was breathing heavily beside me. Though we had escaped, the tension hadn’t left me. Every step we took felt like we were still being hunted.Liam kept a firm arm around me, his touch both protective and reassuring. “We’re almost there,” he murmured.I nodded, too tired to respond. My legs felt like lead, and my mind was still replaying everything that had happened. Caleb. His touch. His threats. The way Liam had saved me. My heart clenched. If Liam hadn’t been there… I shook the thought away.As we reached the entrance of Liam’s house, the door suddenly swung open.“SURPRISE!”I flinched, my body tensing on instinct. But then, I saw Sophia standing there with a wide smile, holding a bouquet of fresh red roses. The entire house was decorated with soft fairy lights, and the scent of freshly baked bread filled the air.I blinked in confusion. “What…?”Sophia’s smile

Chapter Twenty Seven: Escape in the DarkCara’s POVThe air in the room was thick with tension. My wrists ached from the tight ropes, but that wasn’t what had my heart pounding. It was the way Caleb was looking at me—like I was some prize he was eager to claim.He crouched in front of me, his golden eyes burning with lust and possession. “I’ve waited long enough, Cara,” he murmured, reaching out to stroke my cheek. I jerked my head away, disgust twisting in my stomach.“I won’t let you touch me,” I spat, my voice shaking with fury.He chuckled darkly. “Oh, but you don’t have a choice, my love.” His fingers slid to my shoulder, gripping the fabric of my dress.I struggled hard, kicking at him, but he barely budged. “Don’t fight me, Cara. I will have you, whether you like it or not,” he growled.I turned my head desperately, searching for Liam. He was still tied to the chair, his muscles tense, his expression dark and unreadable. But his eyes… His eyes were filled with something terrify
