Daphne

The moment Enzo disappeared around the corner, I felt my knees wobble, and I gripped the railing for support. My heart was still racing from the encounter, and my mind was spinning with confusion and a whirlwind of emotions.

What was that about?

I replayed his words over and over in my head. “You’re mine.” The possessiveness in his voice, the way his dark eyes had bored into mine, it was like he was claiming me all over again, not as some duty-bound breeder, but as something... more.

And yet, as quickly as it came, the moment had ended. He left me standing there, a storm of emotions swirling in my chest.

I exhaled shakily and turned to continue down the staircase. Tobias’s earlier kindness had been a fleeting comfort, but now it felt overshadowed by Enzo’s brooding presence.

When I reached the ground floor, the packhouse seemed quieter than usual, the air heavy with unspoken tension. A part of me wanted to retreat to my room, to process what had just ha

    Fiona The first spark of anger lit inside me as soon as Tobias delivered the news.“She’s healed,” he said, his tone calm and professional as though he hadn’t just ruined my day. “There’s no longer any reason to delay.”I stood in the shadows of the hallway, watching as Tobias informed Enzo. My husband nodded, his expression unreadable, but I knew him well enough to recognize the subtle shift in his posture. He wasn’t just relieved—he was… pleased.My blood boiled.The idea of her, that omega being in his arms, taking what was meant to be mine, was unbearable. For weeks, I’d convinced myself this situation was temporary. A breeder, that’s all she was. A necessary evil to ensure the future of the pack.But the look in Enzo’s eyes told me otherwise.I bit my lip, holding back a growl as I spun on my heel and stormed toward my room. The heels of my boots clicked sharply against the floor, echoing through the quiet hall.This wasn’t supposed to happen.When Enzo first proposed the idea o

    Enzo The room felt suffocating as Daphne stood before me, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Her small frame trembled under the weight of the accusation, her lips parting as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words. The tension in the air was thick, and I hated every second of it."I didn’t take it, Alpha," she finally said, her voice breaking. “I don’t know how it ended up there. You have to believe me.”The sincerity in her voice was like a knife twisting in my chest. For a moment, I stood still, my jaw tight, watching the way her hands wrung together in front of her. I wanted to believe her, I did believe her but the evidence was damning, and Fiona's accusations only added to the fire."Explain, then," I said, my voice harsher than I intended. "How does Fiona’s necklace end up in your room? It doesn’t just appear there by magic, Daphne."Her head snapped up, and for a moment, I saw a flash of defiance in her eyes. “I don’t know!” she cried. “I swear on my lif

    Enzo The weight of the moment lingered with me as I stepped out of Daphne’s room, the door clicking softly shut behind me. My heart was still pounding, and for a fleeting moment, I leaned against the wall, closing my eyes to steady myself.What was I doing? How had I let this happen?Daphne wasn’t supposed to matter. She was here to serve a purpose, nothing more. I had told myself that from the beginning, drilled it into my head so thoroughly that it had become my mantra. But somewhere along the way, her quiet strength, her unyielding spirit, had cracked through the walls I had built. And now, I couldn’t look at her without feeling the weight of something deeper, something I wasn’t sure I wanted to name.I took a deep breath, straightening up. This wasn’t the time to dwell on feelings I couldn’t afford. There was a more pressing issue at hand, someone in my pack had set Daphne up. Someone had planted Fiona’s necklace in her room, knowing the chaos it would cause. And there was no dou

    Daphne The moonlight spilled through the sheer curtains of my room, casting a soft, silvery glow on the walls. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at my hands, my thoughts tangled in the chaos of the last few days. Fiona's accusations still clung to me like a suffocating shroud, even though Enzo had believed my innocence. I didn’t know why, but the memory of the way he had hugged me lingered in my mind, warming me in a way I didn’t want to admit.The garden was serene under the glow of the full moon, its soft light reflecting off the dew-kissed petals of the roses. The gentle rustling of leaves and the chirping of crickets filled the night air, creating a sense of calm that contrasted sharply with the storm inside me. I had come here to think, to escape the weight of everything that had happened over the past few days.But I wasn’t alone.I felt his presence before I saw him. That familiar scent of cedar and musk drifted toward me, sending a shiver down my spine. My heart quickened

    Daphne Enzo's hand moved gently up my back, his touch warm and steady, as though he were trying to reassure me of something he couldn’t yet say. His strength enveloped me, but it wasn’t suffocating. It was protective, anchoring. I couldn’t remember the last time I felt this safe, this… seen. The storm of my thoughts began to quiet, leaving only the sound of our breaths mingling in the cool night air.“You confuse me,” I whispered, daring to meet his intense gaze again. His dark eyes seemed to gleam under the soft light of the moon, full of emotions I couldn’t decipher.“How so?” he asked, his voice low and husky, sending a tremor through me.I hesitated, unsure how much of my heart I wanted to reveal. But something about this moment, this man, made it impossible to hold back. “One moment, you’re distant, cold—like you can’t even stand to look at me. And then, you’re here, holding me like I mean something to you.”He let out a deep sigh, his hand moving to cradle the back of my head.

    DaphneThe morning sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the pack house, warming my skin as I stepped into the dining hall. It should have been a peaceful morning, but the air was thick with unease. Whispers rippled through the pack like wildfire. I couldn’t ignore the furtive glances sent my way or the abrupt silences that fell whenever I entered a room.I tried to push it aside, focusing on my daily tasks, but the tension wrapped around me like a suffocating blanket. Something was wrong.It wasn’t until I heard the distant howls, sharp, desperate cries that sent a shiver down my spine that my fears solidified. My heart raced as I hurried to the window, peering out to see a group of patrol wolves carrying a prisoner between them.A rogue.My pulse quickened as the Alpha’s commanding voice boomed from outside. Enzo was in his element, his tone calm yet laced with authority. As much as I wanted to stay away from the commotion, curiosity tugged at me. Before I could talk myself

    DaphneThe days had grown colder, and with them, the atmosphere in the pack house. The rogue’s words lingered like a curse over everyone, and while no one dared to speak openly about it, I could feel the weight of their suspicion.I tried to distract myself with small tasks, arranging the books in the library, helping in the kitchen, even wandering the gardens when no one was around but nothing could ease the knot in my chest. Every time I passed someone, their gaze lingered a second too long, and the whispers started before I was even out of earshot.It was Fiona, of course, who made her disapproval the loudest."Careful with the silverware, Daphne," she said one morning as I placed the polished knives on the dining table. Her tone was sweet, but her smile was sharp. "We wouldn’t want you to cut yourself. Or anyone else."My cheeks burned as the pack members sitting nearby chuckled under their breath. I wanted to snap back, to tell her to mind her own business, but I bit my tongue an

    Daphne The hours after Enzo left the garden felt like a lifetime. The crash had sent a ripple of unease through the pack house, and though I didn’t know the source of the chaos, I could feel the tension thickening in the air.I lingered in the garden for as long as I could, hoping that the fresh air might calm my racing heart. But when the sun dipped below the horizon, and the cold began to seep into my bones, I reluctantly made my way back inside.The pack house was eerily quiet as I walked through the halls. Normally, I’d hear laughter or the low murmur of conversation, but tonight, there was nothing but the faint creak of the wooden floorboards beneath my feet.As I approached the staircase leading to my room, I heard voices drifting from the dining hall. Curious and more than a little apprehensive, I crept closer, careful to stay out of sight.“You’ve gone too far this time, Fiona,” Enzo’s voice growled, low and dangerous.“I’ve done nothing but protect this pack,” Fiona snapped

    Daphne’s POVI watched as Fiona pushed her chair back abruptly, her untouched breakfast forgotten as she stormed out of the dining hall.The tension in the air was thick.She was furious, and I could feel the weight of her anger lingering even after she had disappeared from sight.I swallowed hard, shifting my gaze toward Enzo, who was still sitting beside me, his expression unreadable. He hadn’t even tried to stop her.I hesitated for a moment before reaching for his hand."You should go after her," I said gently.His jaw clenched. He didn’t move."Enzo," I pressed, squeezing his fingers. "I’m fine. Just go."He exhaled heavily, clearly reluctant. "Are you sure?"I nodded with a reassuring smile. "Yes. I promise."For a moment, he just stared at me, his dark eyes searching mine. Then, with a reluctant sigh, he stood up and left the room.I let out a slow breath, placing a hand over my stomach.The moment at the stairs had shaken me more than I wanted to admit.I could still feel the

    FionaI sat at the grand dining table, my hands folded neatly on my lap, my face the picture of calm. Inside, however, my heart pounded with anticipation.Any moment now.I had planned everything carefully. The servant I trusted had done as instructed, coating the stairs with an invisible, slippery substance. Just enough to send Daphne tumbling down, enough to make her lose the precious child she carried.It had to be an accident. No one could suspect a thing.The thought made me smirk slightly.I had arrived first, making sure I was seated before anyone else. Moments later, Enzo walked in, his strong presence filling the room as he took his seat beside me."Good morning," he said absently, but his tone lacked warmth.I forced a soft smile, reaching for the tea that had been set for me. "Good morning, my love."He barely acknowledged me, his gaze flickering toward the door as if he were waiting for someone.I already knew who."Did you sleep well?" I asked, desperate to keep his atten

    Fiona I couldn’t believe it.Daphne was pregnant.The news hit me , sending a surge of anger and betrayal through my veins. I didn’t hear it from Enzo, my husband, the man who was supposed to confide in me. No. I heard it from Fred, his Beta.That alone was enough to make my blood boil.Enzo had kept this from me. Why? Did he think I wouldn’t find out? Did he think I didn’t deserve to know?The anger simmered inside me as I paced my chambers, my nails digging into my palms. I had been patient. I had watched from the sidelines as he grew closer to her, as he looked at her the way he had never looked at me. And now, she carried his child?This wasn’t part of the plan.Our plan had been foolproof, bring in a weak, insignificant omega, someone who wouldn’t be able to give him the heir he desperately needed. Someone who would buy us time until the curse took him, leaving everything in my hands.And yet… she was pregnant.I clenched my fists, my breath uneven as Fred watched me from across

    DaphneThe morning sun poured through the large windows, painting the walls with golden light. I stood there, arms wrapped around myself, watching the world wake up outside. Birds chirped in the distance, the trees swayed gently in the wind, and everything seemed so peaceful.But inside me, a storm raged.The contract. The curse. The unbearable thought of leaving my child behind. The weight of it all pressed down on me, threatening to suffocate me.I barely noticed when the bed shifted behind me, but I felt the warmth of his presence before he even touched me. Enzo moved silently, the way only an Alpha could, until his arms slipped around my waist from behind, pulling me into his embrace.His lips found my shoulder, pressing soft kisses along my skin, and I closed my eyes, savoring the feeling even as my heart ached.“You left our bed,” he murmured against my neck, his voice husky from sleep.I forced a small smile, tilting my head slightly as if nothing was wrong. “I couldn’t sleep.”

    DaphneAs I watched Alpha Enzo’s face light up with happiness, a warmth spread through my chest, and I couldn’t help but smile. He looked so different in that moment, so unguarded. The fierce, commanding Alpha who had always seemed untouchable now looked like a man who had just been handed his greatest dream.A child.His child.I felt a flutter of something I couldn’t quite describe—joy, perhaps, or hope—but it was quickly overshadowed by a sinking feeling that coiled in the pit of my stomach. The curse. The contract. The promises I had made when I first came to the pack.Reality settled over me like a heavy cloak. This happiness wasn’t mine to keep. It was temporary, fleeting, a dream I had no right to hold onto.I lowered my gaze to my stomach and gently placed my hand there. A tiny life was growing inside me, a child created from the love Enzo and I had shared—even if it hadn’t been planned, even if it had started as something far more complicated. This child was real, undeniable,

    As I left doctor Tobias’s office, I walked slowly, my thoughts tangled with a mix of curiosity and longing. I couldn’t help but wonder what Alpha Enzo was doing. Tobias had assured me that everything looked good during my check-up, but my mind wasn’t focused on myself. Instead, it drifted to Enzo.I had overheard earlier that he was in a meeting with the council, discussing the last rogue attack and strategies to prevent further incursions. I admired his dedication, his tireless efforts to protect the pack, but selfishly, I missed him. I missed the way he held me close, his strong arms wrapping me in a cocoon of warmth and safety. Even thinking about it sent a small smile to my lips and made my chest ache with yearning.By the time I reached my room, I felt the weight of the day pressing down on me. After closing the door, I kicked off my shoes and settled onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling. Hours passed as I allowed my mind to wander, reliving memories of Enzo’s rare but heart-m

    Fiona I paced back and forth in my chambers after my outburst, my thoughts running wild, my heart pounding with a mixture of anger and confusion. The plan had been flawless or so I thought. Now, everything was unraveling, and I felt powerless to stop it. The walls seemed to close in on me, suffocating me with the weight of my own mistakes.Suddenly, the door swung open, slamming against the wall with a loud thud. I froze mid-step, my chest tightening as Fred walked in and shut the door behind him. His face was a storm of frustration, his lips pressed into a thin line.“What are you doing?” he demanded, his voice low but sharp.“What do you mean?” I asked, feigning ignorance even as guilt bubbled under my skin.Fred stepped closer, his eyes narrowing as he whispered, “This wasn’t part of the plan.”“What are you talking about?” I asked, my voice trembling despite my efforts to sound composed.“You asked me to find someone helpless,” he began, his tone filled with restrained fury. “An

    Daphne I was making my way through the hallways, the soft click of my shoes echoing off the floors as I moved toward the kitchen. My mind was occupied with tasks ahead and staying out of everyone’s way. As always, I kept my head low, aware of the stares, the whispers, and most of all, the simmering tension in the air.But today felt different. Something was off. A heaviness I couldn't quite place seemed to settle over me as I passed by the study.Then, a voice cut through the silence, sending a chill down my spine.“Daphne.”I froze. The voice belonged to Fiona.I turned slowly, meeting her cold, piercing gaze. She was standing near the study door, arms crossed, a smirk playing on her lips. Her presence seemed to fill the space with a kind of suffocating arrogance. It was as if she could make the very air around her thick with her disdain.“What do you want?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Fiona’s smile widened, her eyes narrowing in a look that made my stomach twist. “Oh

    Enzo The office door closed behind me with a soft click as I settled into my chair. Fred, my Beta, sat across from me, his usual calm demeanor giving nothing away, though I knew he had a lot on his mind."Alpha, the rogues have been spotted near the border again," Fred began, sliding a folder across the table to me. "They seem to be gathering in numbers. They're not making any direct moves yet, but we should be prepared."I opened the folder and scanned the reports, my mind still half-occupied with everything that had happened over the last few days—Daphne, the kiss, the tension. The way she looked at me that night... The way her lips had felt against mine, so soft, so intoxicating."Mm," I muttered, trying to focus on Fred's words, pushing aside the stirring thoughts of her. "What do you suggest?"Fred's voice seemed to fade slightly as my thoughts wandered back to her. Daphne had this way of entering my mind without warning. Her eyes, the way they would light up when I touched her,
