Kat's POV The pack house was buzzing with life this morning. People were coming and going, talking and laughing. No one seemed to notice me, and I was glad for it. I wasn’t ready for more awkward encounters.After wandering a little and peeking into a few rooms like a lost puppy, I finally found the dining room.I paused in the doorway, nervous.The room was bright and full of life. Long tables stretched across the space, and pack members filled the seats, chatting and laughing like one big happy family. Some people looked around my age, others much older, probably warriors and elders of the pack.The smell of food hit me again—warm pancakes stacked high, crispy bacon, golden scrambled eggs, bowls of fresh fruit, pastries that looked straight out of a bakery. My mouth watered instantly.I stepped in quietly, hoping not to draw attention. No one even glanced at me, too busy with their own conversations.I walked down the side of the room and found an empty chair toward the end of one

Kat's POV I was woken up by the sound of knocking on my door. At first, I stayed still, cuddled up under the warm blankets, not wanting to move. My body felt heavy with sleep, and for a second, I forgot where I was. I blinked a few times, staring at the ceiling, until the knocking came again, a little louder this time.I forced myself to sit up, yawning as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. My voice came out scratchy when I called out, “Who is it?”A soft, polite voice answered from the other side of the door, “Breakfast is ready, miss.”I sat there for a second longer, processing the words. Breakfast. Right. I wasn’t at the pack hospital anymore. I was in the pack house now. In a real room that was mine.“Thank you!” I called out, my voice still a bit sleepy.I heard the sound of footsteps walking away, and after a few seconds, everything was quiet again. I let out a small sigh and pushed the covers off me. I sat on the edge of the bed, feeling the soft rug underneath my feet. I stret

Kat's POV I hesitated for just a second, then stepped inside.My breath caught in my throat.The room was beautiful.It wasn’t huge, but it was perfect. The walls were a soft dusty rose color, and the bed in the center of the room was neatly made with fluffy white sheets and a warm beige blanket folded at the foot. There were plump pillows stacked against the headboard and a soft rug underfoot that made me wiggle my toes even in my shoes.To the left was a desk beside a wide window, and outside, I could see the tops of the trees in the distance, swaying gently in the wind. A small potted plant sat on the desk, adding a bit of life to the space.“This is your room,” Cindy said kindly. “If you need anything at all, just find me or one of the omegas. We’ll help.”I nodded slowly, still overwhelmed by how thoughtful everything felt. I turned to her just as she was about to leave.“Wait,” I said. “What’s your name?”She turned back with a friendly smile. “Cindy.”“Thank you, Cindy,” I sai

Kat's POVI walked back to the pack hospital, my legs feeling kind of weak, like jelly. My chest still ached from what I had seen on the training field. I didn’t want to think about Alpha Liam and that beautiful blonde girl, but no matter how hard I tried, the image kept popping back in my head. Him smiling a little, her standing close, looking like she belonged next to him. It felt like I had been punched in the stomach, even though I had no right to feel that way.I sighed and pushed open the door to my hospital room, hoping to lie down and bury myself under the covers for a while.But the moment I stepped inside, I stopped.There was someone in my room.A young girl was standing there, waiting quietly. She looked like she might be around fifteen or sixteen. She had a sweet face, light brown skin, and soft curly hair tied back into a neat ponytail. She was wearing simple jeans and a grey hoodie with the pack’s emblem on the chest.For a second, we just stared at each other.“Um… hi?

Kat's POV A few days passed by slowly. The only people I saw were the doctor and a couple of nurses who came to check on me or bring me food. They were nice, but they didn’t talk much. I didn’t mind at first because I was still tired and sore, but after a while, I started getting really bored.Alpha Liam hadn’t come back to see me, not even once. I tried not to care, but a small part of me felt disappointed. I told myself it didn’t matter, but the truth was, I kept hoping he would walk through the door. Every time I heard footsteps in the hallway, my heart would skip a beat—only for it to be a nurse or someone else. Never him.By the third day, I couldn’t take it anymore. I felt restless, like I was going to go crazy if I stayed in that hospital room any longer. So, I decided to take a walk.The evening air was cool and fresh as I stepped outside. The sky had soft shades of orange and pink as the sun slowly began to set. I breathed in deeply, the clean air filling my lungs. It felt g

Kat's POVAs I looked at him, I noticed things I hadn’t before. The way his jaw clenched tightly, like he was grinding his teeth to stop himself from saying something. His hands were at his sides, but his fingers twitched, curling in slightly like he was fighting the urge to reach for me.He wasn’t just standing still—he was holding himself back.That’s when the sinking feeling hit me. A cold, heavy weight dropped into my stomach.He knew.He knew I was his mate.The way his eyes locked on mine, intense and unreadable, gave it away. There was something in his stare—like he was looking through me, like he felt the same pull I did. The same electricity in the air. But he said nothing. Did nothing.My chest tightened painfully. Why wasn’t he saying it? Why wasn’t he claiming me?Was it because I didn’t look like the kind of girl he wanted? Because I was weak and hurt and lying in a hospital bed? Or maybe he already had someone. A chosen mate. A she-wolf who was stronger, prettier, more s

The next morning, I woke up to the soft feel of lips brushing against my forehead. At first, I thought I was dreaming. The kiss was so gentle, almost like a whisper. My eyes fluttered open slowly, adjusting to the golden morning light slipping through the thick curtains. For a moment, everything was quiet and calm, and then I saw him.Kai.He was leaning over me, his messy black hair falling a little into his eyes. His smile was soft and sleepy, but warm—like he had been watching me for a while. His shirt was gone, and I could see the way the light made his skin glow slightly. He looked like something out of a dream.“Good morning, sleepyhead,” he whispered, his voice still husky from sleep.“Morning,” I replied, my voice scratchy. I rubbed at my eyes, still feeling a little tired but also comforted by his presence.That’s when I saw the tray in his hands. My eyes widened in surprise.“You brought me breakfast?” I asked, try

After dinner, we slowly made our way out of the dining room. Kai never let go of me, not even for a second. His arm stayed wrapped around my waist like he was afraid I’d disappear if he let go. I was full and sleepy, and my body felt heavier than usual. My legs ached a little, and my lower back was starting to hurt too. That happened a lot lately—being almost six months pregnant came with a lot of surprises. Kai kept glancing down at me, his eyes filled with worry, but I gave him a small smile to let him know I was okay.We climbed the stairs carefully. He didn’t rush me at all. With every step, he kept his hand steady on my side, whispering, “Almost there, baby,” like I was running a marathon. When we finally reached our bedroom, he opened the door and helped me inside. The room was warm and smelled like his cologne and something minty from the candles Mer had left earlier.Kai turned to me and gave me a gentle smile. “Let’s get you comfortable,” he said softly.I nodded, and he help

Lily’s POV Soon, it was time for dinner. I took a deep breath as I stood before the full-length mirror in our room, running my hands over the fabric of my dress. It was a soft, flowing lavender gown that hugged my growing belly just enough to feel comfortable. I hadn’t paid much attention to my appearance in the past few days, but tonight felt different. Tonight, I was trying to take things back to some kind of normal. Or at least, as normal as life could feel after everything that had happened. Kai was standing nearby, his eyes watching me with a mix of concern and affection. His attention was always on me now, always looking out for me, especially since the news of the babies. I could feel the weight of his eyes on me, and it wasn’t the kind of weight that made me uncomfortable. It was the kind of weight that felt like safety, like reassurance. But even so, I knew he was nervous. He was always nervous when it came to me these days. “Yo

Lily’s POV We went back to the mansion the next day. I had been in the hospital for days after the incident, but I couldn’t take it anymore. The walls felt too white, too cold. I missed the comfort of my own bed, the warm scent of Kai’s cologne on the sheets, and the way our room always smelled faintly of cedar and something earthy. I wanted to be home. I needed to be home. It took a lot of convincing. Kai was stubborn, like always. He didn’t want to risk anything—not with me, and definitely not with the babies. But after I practically begged him and Doctor Harris stepped in to reassure him that I was healing well, he finally gave in. “You’ll rest. No stress,” Kai said, holding my hand tightly as we got into the car. “The moment you feel tired, you tell me.” “I will,” I promised, resting my other hand gently on my bump. The ride home was quiet. I looked out the window at the trees passing by, my hand never leaving my belly. Kai kept glancing at me every few seconds, like he was

Lily's POVI blinked up at the ceiling, the bright white lights above me making my eyes sting. Everything smelled like antiseptic and plastic. The hospital. I hated hospitals. The last time I was here, I had no one beside me. But this time, I kept hoping he’d come.I shifted a little, wincing at first—but then realizing something strange. There was no pain. My leg didn’t hurt. My ribs didn’t ache. My face wasn’t bruised anymore. I looked down at my arms and blinked in confusion. Just yesterday they were covered in purple-blue marks. Now? Smooth skin. Like nothing ever happened.Was I dreaming?The door opened.My head snapped toward the sound, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw him. Kai.He looked like he hadn’t slept. His hair was messy, and his eyes were red, like he’d been crying. He stood there in the doorway, just staring at me like I was some kind of miracle. I swallowed hard, not sure what to say. Not sure what I even felt. A part of me wanted to cry. Another part wanted to

Kai’s POV He nodded. “Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying. And she’s not marked, is she?”“No,” I said slowly. “I haven’t marked her yet.”Doctor Harris looked back at the room again. “Then this shouldn’t be happening. A human can’t heal this fast. It’s… well, it’s impossible. Unless there’s something in her blood. Maybe she’s not fully human. Or maybe something’s changed.”My mind started racing. “You mean like—she could be turning?”He shook his head. “It’s too early to say anything for sure. I need to run more tests. I’ve already taken a blood sample, and I’ll have results in a few hours. But Alpha, something strange is going on with her biology.”I stared at the door, my heart thudding against my ribs.Lily. My Lily. What was happening to her?I swallowed hard and looked back at Doctor Harris. “Do whatever you need to do. Run every test. I just want her safe.”“I will,” he said. “I promise.”I nodded slowly, trying to process everything he just told me. I didn’t know what this me

I gasped and stumbled back, barely managing to keep hold of the tray.A woman rushed out, nearly crashing into me. She looked to be in her early twenties, her long blonde hair a tangled mess, her makeup smudged as if she had slept in it—or rather, hadn’t slept much at all. She was clutching a pair of high heels in one hand while using the other to adjust the thin strap of her dress. The wrinkled fabric barely clung to her curves, and the scent of expensive perfume mixed with Alpha Ronan’s scent clung to her skin like a lingering memory of the night before.I didn’t need anyone to explain what had happened. The evidence was clear.Something twisted in my stomach, and I braced myself for the pain—the sharp, unbearable agony that was supposed to come when a mate was unfaithful. It was said to feel like your soul was being ripped apart, like a fire burning inside your chest.But… nothing.There was no fire, no overwhelming pain. Just a dull,

I was ironing my stepmother’s dress, carefully moving the iron over the fabric. I didn’t realize the heat was too high until I smelled something strange. A burning smell. My heart pounded as I lifted the iron and saw the dark, ugly scorch mark on the expensive fabric.Panic set in immediately. I knew what was coming.Before I could think of a way to fix it, I heard the sharp sound of heels clicking against the wooden floor. The air in the room seemed to freeze as my stepmother entered. Her sharp gaze fell on the dress, and her face twisted in fury."You useless, stupid girl!" she screeched, her voice making me flinch. "You can’t do anything right!"I quickly put the iron down, my hands shaking. “I—I’m sorry,” I stammered, my throat tightening. “It was an accident, I swear—”Before I could finish, she snatched the iron off the table. My breath caught in my throat as I saw the gleam in her eyes. A look I had learned to fear.“An accident?” she mocked, her lips curling into a cruel smile

I walked over to the bed, my steps hesitant, and picked up the paper lying there. My eyes scanned the neat handwriting, and I realized it was a list of rules. At the top of the page, in bold letters, it read: Dos and Don’ts – By Alpha Ronan.I couldn’t believe what I was reading. The list went on and on, ridiculously long and detailed.“Clean my room daily, serve my meals on time, and be on standby whenever I need you,” I muttered under my breath as I read. My eyebrows furrowed as I continued. “Prohibited from spending time alone with unmated males. Must seek permission to leave the mansion. Clothing must be approved by Alpha Ronan…”I stopped reading, my hands trembling with frustration. “Is he serious?” I said out loud, pacing the room.I looked at the list again, my blood boiling. I was supposed to be his personal maid, not his prisoner. He didn’t even want me as his mate, yet he thought he had the right to control every aspect of my life.“What a hypocrite!” I muttered angrily, c

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
