Annie glanced at me and said, “Go on.” I hesitated, my heart thudding in my chest. “What if he’s angry?” I whispered. “Don’t keep him waiting,” Annie said sharply. “That’ll only make it worse.” I swallowed hard and slowly pushed the door open. The room was dim, lit only by the sunlight streaming through the tall windows. Bookshelves lined the walls, packed with books, and a large wooden desk sat in the center of the room. Behind the desk sat Alpha Ronan. His presence was overwhelming. He leaned back in his chair, his sharp eyes immediately locking onto me as I stood frozen in the doorway. I studied him carefully as he sat behind the desk. His black shirt stretched tightly over his broad chest and muscular arms, as if it could barely contain his strength. His features were sharp, and there was an intensity in his eyes that made me feel small. He was undeniably handsome, but the aura around him was nothing short of terrifying. “Come closer,” he ordered, his voice deep and com

The Alpha nodded, his face still stone-cold. “Good,” he said, turning to leave. “Annie will be here shortly to take you to the house and explain your duties.” He walked away, the door slamming shut behind him, leaving me alone again in the darkness. My heart felt heavy, but there was no turning back now. I had agreed to be his maid, and there was nothing else I could do. A little while later, the heavy door creaked open again, and an older woman stepped inside. She looked like she was in her fifties, with gray streaks in her dark hair and a kind but tired face. She gestured for me to follow her, and I got up slowly, my body still aching from everything I had been through. As we walked down the long, dim hallways of the dungeon, she spoke. “I’m Annie,” she said, her voice firm but not unkind. “What’s your name, girl?” I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should trust her, but then I said quietly, “Aria.” Annie nodded and kept walking, leading me up a flight of stairs and out

He smirked, his eyes cold. “Your worst nightmare,” he replied before climbing back into the front seat. The car sped off again, and I turned my head to look out the rear window. My heart sank when I saw several other black cars following us. There was no escape.The car finally slowed down, and I felt the sharp jerk as it came to a stop. My heart raced, and I tried to sit up straighter, but my body felt heavy and sore from everything that had happened. The man who had taken me here didn’t say anything before getting out of the car, leaving me alone in the back seat. The door slammed behind him, and the sound echoed in my ears. I didn’t know what to do. The silence in the car felt so loud, so oppressive. I could still feel the throbbing pain in my neck, and the strange sensation from his lick was still there, but it had faded a little. I just stared out the window, my mind racing with thoughts of what was happening to me. A few minutes passed, and I heard footsteps approaching. I

Then she grabbed the stick. My heart sank, and I tried to crawl away, but she was too fast. The first hit landed on my back, a sharp, searing pain that made me cry out. She didn’t stop. The stick came down again and again, hitting my legs, my arms, and my sides. Each blow made my body jerk, and the pain became too much to bear. “You’re worthless!” she yelled, her words stabbing me as deeply as the stick. “You’ll never be anything more than a stain on this pack!” Tears streamed down my face, but I didn’t dare scream or beg. I knew it would only make her angrier. I curled up on the floor, trying to protect myself as best as I could. But no matter how tightly I hugged my knees, I couldn’t stop the blows from finding me. I didn’t know how long it lasted. It felt like forever. Just when I thought she would never stop, she finally did. Breathing heavily, she threw the stick to the side and glared down at me. “You disgust me,” she spat before turning on her heel and heading to her

Sneers followed me as I walked through the crowded party, my head lowered, hoping to blend into the sea of faces. "Daughter of a slut." "Whore." The whispered insults wrapped around me like chains, each word tightening the grip on my already fragile heart. I pretended not to hear them, clutching the sides of my dress as my trembling hands betrayed my nerves.The room buzzed with laughter and lively conversation, but it felt like I was on the outside looking in. Every step I took felt heavier than the last. My chest tightened, but I kept telling myself, Just a little longer. Stay invisible.Suddenly, a hard shove came from behind. "Watch out, trash," someone muttered with a snicker.I stumbled forward, colliding with a server carrying a tray of drinks. “Oh!” The server’s startled cry barely registered before the tray tipped. Glasses clattered to the floor, shattering on impact. Ice-cold liquid splashed across my legs, soaking the hem of my dress.Before I could regain my balance, my fo

Kai’s POVWolfsbane. The very word sent a chill down my spine. It was a deadly poison for werewolves, and the fact that she had been exposed to it... it didn’t make sense. How had she gotten exposed to something so dangerous, especially with the strict rules we had about it in the pack? It was forbidden. No one should have access to it."How?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, a sense of dread creeping over me. "How did she get exposed to it?"The doctor shook his head, his brow furrowed. "I don’t know, Kai. But we need to keep an eye on her. The poison affects werewolves in different ways, and she’s already under a lot of stress from the pregnancy. It could complicate things further."I clenched my fists at my sides, trying to keep my emotions in check. The idea that someone had exposed Lily to Wolfsbane made my blood boil. Whoever did this was playing a dangerous game. But there were bigger things to worry about for now."I’ll make sure she’s taken care of," I said firmly, m

Kai's POVI had never been as scared as I was when Lily collapsed in my arms. The way her body went limp, her face pale and void of color—it made my heart race, panic twisting in my chest. She had been fine just moments ago. She had been laughing and smiling, her usual self, and now she was lying there, barely breathing. And then the blood. So much blood. My mind couldn't make sense of it. How had everything gone so wrong so quickly?I watched helplessly as the doctor rushed into the room, moving quickly but calmly. He didn’t say much at first, just assessed the situation. The tension in the air was suffocating. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, fighting the urge to run to Lily’s side, but I knew the doctor needed to work, and I needed to let him.The doctor turned to me then, his voice gentle but firm. "I need you to step out for a moment, Mr. Kai. I need to stop the bleeding."I froze. I didn’t want to leave her. Every part of me screamed to stay with her, to hold her hand a

My breath caught in my throat, and I doubled over, clutching my stomach as I gasped for air.The pain was so strong, I felt like I might collapse. My head spun, and my vision blurred for a moment. I took a deep breath, hoping it would pass, but it didn’t. It only got worse, like a tight knot pulling at my insides.I glanced around quickly, looking for Rhys or Mer, but they were still too far away. I was on my own, and the panic started to rise in my chest. What was happening? Was it the baby? Was something wrong?I took another shaky breath, trying to steady myself, but the pain kept pulsing, making it harder to focus. My heart was racing, and my legs felt weak beneath me. I didn't know if I should call out, or if I should just try to wait for it to pass, but I couldn’t do either.Finally, I managed to straighten up a little, still holding my stomach, hoping someone would notice me. My mind raced, and I tried to push down the fear that was threatening to overwhelm me. This wasn’t good

Rhys tilted his head, looking at me with a mix of understanding and mischief. "He cares about you and his baby," he corrected gently.I didn’t say anything in reply, too unsure to start a conversation on that topic. My mind was swirling with thoughts, and I didn’t want to get caught up in something that might not be true. Instead, I glanced around the crowd, hoping to spot Mer.I saw her standing near the edge of the party, talking to some of the other women from the pack. She was wearing a soft, flowy dress, and her laughter reached me even from a distance. I smiled, relieved to see her, and started making my way through the crowd toward her.Rhys gave me a small nudge before following behind, his presence a quiet support as I walked. The evening felt alive with energy, and for a moment, I let myself get lost in the warmth of the celebration.I spotted Mer from across the lawn, her smile as bright as ever as she moved around, serving drinks to the guests. I waved at her, and she caug

The mansion was alive with activity. I could hear faint music playing from outside and the buzz of voices drifting through the halls. Kai, Zara, and Rhys were waiting at the bottom of the stairs. As I slowly made my way down, I noticed Kai’s eyes were locked on me. It was like he was studying every step I took. He looked as effortlessly handsome as ever, dressed in a fitted black dress shirt and matching black slacks. His presence seemed to demand attention without him even trying.Zara stood next to him in a stunning red dress that hugged her figure perfectly. Her hair was styled to perfection, and she looked like she had stepped straight out of a magazine. She was gorgeous, and she knew it. Then there was Rhys, casual as always, wearing a white button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up and dark jeans. His easy smile lit up his face as he glanced up at me.I tried to steady myself as I descended, one hand holding the railing while the other rested on my belly. Rhys started moving t

I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I tried to keep my emotions in check. “I can handle it,” I said softly, though my voice trembled slightly.Kai finally spoke, his voice low and commanding. “Zara, that’s enough.”Her smirk faltered for a split second, but she quickly recovered, shrugging nonchalantly. “I’m just saying,” she muttered, looking away.Kai ignored her and turned to me. “You’ll do what the doctor says,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “If there’s anything you need, you let me know.”I nodded, still avoiding his gaze. “Okay,” I whispered.The doctor smiled reassuringly at me. “You’re doing well so far. Just follow the advice, and everything should be fine.”“Thank you, doctor,” I said, my voice barely audible.As the doctor gathered his things, Zara rolled her eyes dramatically. “Are we done here? This has been... enlightening,” she said sarcastically.Kai shot her a warning look. “We’re leaving,” he said curtly, his tone making it clear
