“Shit,” Kai muttered under his breath, and the car swerved slightly as he pulled over to the side of the road. The engine cut off, and in an instant, Kai was unbuckling his seatbelt and reaching for me.

“Hey, hey, look at me,” he said softly, his voice urgent but gentle. He cupped my face in his hands, forcing me to meet his gaze. “Breathe with me, okay? Just focus on me. In and out. You’re safe. I’m right here.”

I tried to concentrate on his words, but it felt like I was trapped in my own head, my thoughts spiraling out of control. Tears streamed down my cheeks, and I struggled to match his breathing.

He pressed his forehead against mine, his thumbs brushing away my tears. “You’re okay,” he whispered, his voice softer than I’d ever heard it. “I’ve got you. Just breathe. Slow, like this.”

I focused on the warmth of his hands, the steady rhythm of his breathing, and slowly, gradually, I felt the tightness in my chest ease. I matched his breaths, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly.

    I finally calmed down after what felt like forever. My breathing slowly evened out, though my chest still ached and my head was pounding. My throat burned from crying and yelling so much. I felt weak—physically, emotionally… just completely worn out. Like all the fight in me had been drained away. Kai was quiet the whole time. He didn’t say anything, didn’t ask if I was okay. He just stayed there, kneeling beside me on the side of the road, his hand moving in slow circles across my back. His touch was light, careful. It wasn’t like earlier when he had stormed into the shop all angry and wild. This Kai felt different—more… human. Like he was actually worried.When I finally lifted my head, Kai met my eyes. He didn’t speak. He just nodded, like he was asking silently if I was ready to leave. I gave the tiniest nod back. He stood up and helped me gently to my feet. I was still shaky, and he held onto me like he was scared I’d fall again. He walked me back to the car, opened the door for

    I was woken up by a soft knock on the door. At first, I didn’t move. I was still half-asleep, curled up under the blanket, Kai’s hoodie wrapped snugly around me. It smelled faintly like him—something like cedarwood and a bit of musk. Comforting. Safe. But the knock came again, a little louder this time, and I blinked slowly as I sat up, my hair a tangled mess and my mind still foggy from sleep.“Come in,” I said, my voice hoarse.The door creaked open, and Margaret walked in holding a tray with a plate covered by a metal lid, a glass of juice, and what looked like a small bowl of fruit. She had a kind smile on her face, the same gentle smile she always wore. Her grey hair was pulled back into a neat bun, and she wore a soft knitted sweater over her usual apron.“I thought you might be hungry,” she said softly, walking in and setting the tray down on the nightstand beside the bed.I blinked at the food and then up at her, touched by her kindness. “Thank you, Margaret,” I murmured.She

    I woke up the next morning to the soft sound of birds chirping outside the window and the faint warmth of sunlight pouring through the curtains. For a moment, I didn’t open my eyes. I just laid there, wrapped in Kai’s hoodie and buried under the thick blanket, wishing I could sleep for a little longer—wishing the world could pause just for a few hours so I wouldn’t have to face anything or anyone.But I felt it. That familiar feeling of being watched.I blinked my eyes open slowly, my vision still blurry from sleep. It took me a second to adjust, but when I did, my gaze landed right on Kai. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, already dressed for the day. He wore a black shirt that hugged his arms and dark jeans that had a few wrinkles, like he had been wearing them for a while already. His hair looked like he’d run his hands through it too many times—it was sticking up a little, messy in a way that made him look even more tired than he already did. His face was serious, but soft.

    It had been a week since Zara’s suicide attempt.The days had passed slowly, like time itself was dragging its feet. The mansion had been quiet—more quiet than usual. Even the walls seemed to whisper. There was a strange kind of tension in the air, like everyone was being careful with their words and their footsteps, afraid to stir up more emotions. And maybe it was because no one really knew how to act after something so serious. I didn’t either.Zara had made it, thank the Moon Goddess. The healers had done everything they could, and it worked. She was physically okay now. She had taken a bunch of pills that night, hoping not to wake up again. And even though she had been cruel to me in the past—calling me names, giving me dirty looks, always trying to make me feel small—I still couldn’t bring myself to hate her. Maybe it was the baby in me softening my heart, or maybe I just knew what it felt like to be broken. Either way, I was glad she was alive. No one deserved to feel so hopele

    Kai held my hand as we stepped out of the room together. His grip was gentle but firm, like he didn’t want to let go. As we reached the top of the staircase, he slowed his pace immediately."Easy," he said, glancing down at my feet, his other hand lightly touching the small of my back. "Just hold onto me."I gave him a small smile. "I’m fine, Kai. But thank you."He didn't say anything else, just kept walking slowly beside me, step by careful step. I held onto the railing with one hand and kept my other tucked in his. I could feel his thumb brushing the back of my hand in small, slow circles. My belly had grown a little more in the past week, and I sometimes felt clumsy. I appreciated how gentle and patient he was being. He didn’t rush me, didn’t let go of my hand once.By the time we reached the last step, I noticed Rhys waiting near the front door. He was leaning casually against the wall, looking down at his phone, completely unaware of us approaching.He looked really good. I mean

    We finally arrived at the pack border. The forest slowly thinned out as we got closer, and I could see the wide clearing that marked the edge of our territory. The trees stood tall and quiet, their branches swaying gently in the morning breeze. A few birds flew overhead, chirping softly as if greeting us. The sun peeked through the leaves, casting golden light on everything, making it all look a little magical.Kai slowed his pace and came to a stop just a few feet away from the open border space. Then, like he always did, he lowered his big wolf body to the ground, making it easier for me to get down. I placed my hands carefully on his thick fur, which was warm and soft beneath my fingers, and slid down slowly. My boots crunched lightly against the grass and dirt when I landed.Even though I'd done this a few times now, I still felt a little nervous every time. There was something both exciting and strange about riding on the back of a massive wolf through the forest like I was in a

    The grey wolf was now a tall, broad-shouldered man who looked to be in his early fifties. His hair was mostly silver with bits of dark still clinging to the sides, and he had a short beard that matched. His face was serious but kind, with lines around his eyes that hinted he smiled often, even if he wasn’t smiling right now.He walked forward with a confident, steady stride and stopped in front of Kai. He held out his hand.“Alpha Kai,” he said, his voice deep and full of calm authority.Kai returned the handshake and nodded. “Alpha Josha. It’s good to see you again.”There was mutual respect in their eyes, like they’d known each other for a while. They exchanged a few short words I didn’t catch—something about the journey and how their pack was doing. Then Alpha Josha turned to Rhys and greeted him too.“Beta Rhys,” he said, shaking Rhys’s hand with a firm grip.Rhys gave him one of his easy, charming smiles. “Welcome, Alpha.”Then Alpha Josha turned to me. His eyes landed on me gent

    Little brother? I froze, staring at Rhys in shock. Did I hear that right? Rhys had a brother? And not just any brother, but a freaking Alpha? I glanced back and forth between the two of them, my brain struggling to make sense of what I had just heard.Rhys looked... uncomfortable. He seemed to shrink a little under Mischa’s gaze, his shoulders tensing. The confident, joking side of him that I had come to know was gone, replaced with something more guarded. He cleared his throat awkwardly and gave a tight smile. “Hey, Mischa,” he said, his voice sounding strange in my ears. “Long time.”Long time? What did that mean? Why hadn’t he ever mentioned this?I stared at him, my mouth slightly agape. “You... you have a brother?” I whispered in disbelief.Rhys glanced at me, his expression apologetic, but I could tell there was something more—something he wasn’t sharing. He gave a small shrug. “Yeah, surprise,” he said dryly.I felt like I had been hit with a ton of bricks. How was it possible

    I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep until the sharp sound of my phone ringing broke through the quiet of the room. The noise startled me, and I quickly reached for it on the nightstand beside the bed. When I saw Kai’s name flash across the screen, my heart skipped a beat. I smiled even before answering."Hello?" I said softly, my voice a little groggy from the nap.“Hey, beautiful,” Kai’s deep, familiar voice came through the phone, sending warmth rushing through me. “How are you feeling? How’s everything with the babies?”I took a slow breath and placed my hand on my belly, the tiny flutter of movement reassuring me. “We’re fine,” I replied, the words slipping easily from my lips. “I just took a little nap, but I’m doing good.”“That’s good to hear,” he said, sounding pleased. “Listen, I need you to get ready. I’m coming to pick you up soon for our date.”A smile spread across my face. “Okay,” I replied, my heart fluttering at the thought of spending more time with him. “I’ll be wai

    When he pulled away, he stayed close, resting his forehead against mine. His breath brushed across my skin, soft and steady, and I felt my heart calm down. It was like everything that had been loud and heavy inside me—the fears, the memories, the pain—suddenly went quiet.And for the first time in a long while, I wasn’t thinking about the past.Not about Zara. Not about the way she had looked at me with so much hatred in her eyes. Not about how I had nearly lost my life because of her. Not about lying in that hospital bed, bruised and broken, unsure if I would ever be the same again.And not about how scared I was of what was happening to me. Of turning into something else—something I didn’t understand yet. A werewolf. A Luna. A mother.All of that faded as I sat there in bed, warm and safe in Kai’s arms. It was just me and him. And our babies.I opened my eyes slowly and looked at him. His expression was soft, full of something I couldn’t quite name, but it made my chest tighten in a

    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

    Kai’s POV That was the law. And it was final.The crowd erupted. Growls, howls, and shouts of agreement filled the air. The pack stood behind me. I could feel it in my bones. They trusted me. They believed in what I was doing. And in that moment, I knew I was doing the right thing. Even if it hurt.Two of my strongest warriors stepped forward. I nodded at them, and they approached Zara.She didn’t fight. She didn’t scream or lash out. She just cried harder, shaking her head and begging between sobs.“Please… Kai… don’t do this… I’m sorry… please…”But no one answered her. No one moved to stop the warriors as they gently pulled her to her feet and began walking her away. She kept looking back at me like I would change my mind. But I didn’t.I couldn’t.I turned my back to her. I couldn’t look anymore.Rhys was suddenly beside me. I didn’t even hear him come up. He placed a firm hand on my shoulder.“You did the right thing,” he said quietly.I nodded slowly, but my chest still felt ti
