But it does nothing to dull the storm raging inside me.

The weight of my decision presses on my chest like a vice, tightening with every second.

I had agreed.

Agreed to take my Luna to bed. Agreed to give the pack the heir they demanded.

It was logical. Expected.

Yet, I feel like I’m suffocating.

A muscle ticks in my jaw as I stare out the window into the darkened forest beyond the packhouse. The wind howls through the trees, rattling against the glass panes as though mocking me. The beast inside me stirs, pacing restlessly, snarling ay the very thought of what I am expected to do.

Bills were piling up. Rent was due soon. And in just a few short months, I’d have another mouth to feed.My hand drifts to my belly.I did the right thing.Kane could never know.A sharp pang clenches my chest, but I push it down.

My body moves through the drills automatically, but my mind is far away.Far away on her.Avery.No matter how hard I try, I can’t silence my Beta’s voice in my head.“Are you sure Avery was telling the truth?”I scowl.

Told me she had been with someone else after I rejected her.Then why won’t my wolf accept it?A warrior lunges at me, forcing me back to the present. Instinct takes over.

    Avery’s POV I had fallen asleep in the living room after putting my son to sleep and cleaning the house. But the sound of shattering glass suddenly rips me from sleep. For a split second, I think I imagined it. The room is silent except for the rapid pounding of my heart. My breath is uneven, my body frozen as I try to distinguish between dream and reality. But then, a gust of cold air brushes against my skin, unnatural and sharp. And I know. Something is wrong. My son I sprang up, my bare feet hitting the floor with a loud thud.

    AVERY "Run, Avery!" My friend Emma yelled, I took to my heels immediately, my feet began to hurt as I've run through an unknown part for so long. It's midnight in Greenville city, Emma and I were returning from a birthday party celebration, and on our way home we were attacked by rogues. Emma suspected them to be some of my father's enemies. I know we shouldn't have left the pack without some bodyguards to guard us. It was definitely a bad idea. After running for a long while, I fell on the hard ground, hitting my knees hard. I felt a warm liquid drip down my leg and I realized that it was my knee bleeding. It fucking hurts! Exclaimed inwardly. I looked around the dark street, Emma was nowhere to be found. We lost track of each other while running. I cut a part of my dress, using it to tie my wound as I attended to it. "Ahhh" I groaned. Immediately I pulled the piece and finished tying it. Now, I had to stand up and find Emma. I summoned my not-too-strong wolf. Trying

The elders' voices buzz around me, relentless, grating, a chorus of expectations I don’t care to entertain."Heir.""Legacy.""Strength of the pack."It’s always the same conversation, the same pressure. They talk as if I owe them a piece of myself, as if my bloodline is more important than the rage still burning in my chest."You can’t put this off forever, Alpha Kane," one of the older men speaks, his voice laced with impatience. "The Red Claw Pack needs stability. A future."I do not answer them. I barely even listenedI drag a hand down my face, exausted, but the fire inside me refuses to settle.Avery’s words still claw at me."The baby isn’t yours, Kane.""I was with someone else after you rejected me."The lies were obvious, but the fact that she was willing to utter them, that she would rather push me away than let me into her life, cut deeper than any
