The door opened, and to my surprise, Rhys walked in. He looked unusually serious, his usual playful smirk nowhere to be seen. Before I could greet him, he crossed the room in a few strides and wrapped me in a tight hug.

“You scared the hell out of me, Lily,” he murmured against my hair. “Don’t ever do that again.”

I froze for a second before slowly hugging him back. “I...I’m sorry,” I whispered. “I didn’t mean to scare anyone.”

He pulled back just enough to look at me, his hands resting on my shoulders. “You had everyone panicking, especially Kai. He was a mess last night. You’re lucky the doctor was here when it happened.”

I blinked in surprise. “Kai...was worried about me?”

Rhys raised an eyebrow. “Of course he was. You’re carrying his kid, Lily. And whether you realize it or not, he cares about you.”

I looked away, shaking my head. “He cares about the baby. That’s it.”

Rhys sighed, his grip on my shoulders tightening

    I couldn’t help but laugh softly at the thought. “A baby with a permanent scowl? That’s adorable and terrifying at the same time.”Mer laughed along with me. “Right? Imagine Kai trying to calm a crying baby with that brooding look of his. I don’t think it’d work.”I shook my head, still smiling. “Well, let’s just hope the baby doesn’t inherit his temper.”She gasped dramatically, pretending to be offended. “What are you saying? Kai’s temper is legendary! Maybe your baby could use a little of that fiery spirit.”I chuckled, feeling lighter than I had in days. The way Mer joked and kept the conversation going made me forget, even if just for a while, about the fear and uncertainty lingering in the back of my mind.After finishing most of the food, I leaned back against the pillows. Mer handed me a small cup with vitamins the doctor had left behind. “Here,” she said, “Doctor’s orders. You’ve gotta take these.”I took the pills and s

    The rest of the day dragged on, a blur of quiet emptiness and the constant ticking of the clock on the wall. I was stuck in a loop—waking up, eating, and then going back to sleep. I didn’t feel like myself, and every passing minute only seemed to deepen the ache inside. I wanted to feel something—anything—but I couldn’t. Every thought seemed clouded by the events that had led me here, and nothing could distract me from that constant pull of sadness. Meredith stayed by my side, faithfully bringing my meals and keeping me company, but no matter how much she tried to cheer me up, her efforts felt hollow. She would tell me funny stories, make jokes, and do everything in her power to lift my spirits, but nothing seemed to make a difference. I smiled when I could, laughed when I needed to, but deep down, I felt so incredibly alone. She noticed the change in me, I could tell. Her eyes would sometimes linger on me with concern, but she said nothing, giving me the space I needed while still

    Zara stood a few feet away, arms crossed over her chest. She didn’t look like her usual perfect self. Her long, sleek hair was slightly messy, and faint dark circles shadowed her eyes. She looked... exhausted. Her usual confident posture was gone, replaced with an air of vulnerability. For the first time, she actually seemed human.I guessed the poisoning had really taken a toll on her.Her sharp gaze landed on me before flickering to Meredith. “Can I talk to her alone?” she asked, her voice softer than usual.Meredith immediately stiffened beside me, her grip tightening slightly on my arm. “I don’t think that’s a good idea,” she said, her tone firm.I placed a hand on her arm, giving her a reassuring smile. “It’s okay, Mer. I’ll be fine.”Meredith hesitated, clearly torn. I could see the protectiveness in her eyes, but after a long moment, she sighed and nodded. “I’ll be right around the corner if you need me,” she muttered, giving me o

    As Zara pulled away, she gave me a small smile before turning and walking away. I watched her retreating figure, my mind still spinning. Was she really sorry? Or was this just another trick? I had no way of knowing for sure, but I wasn’t about to let my guard down.A moment later, Meredith appeared, her eyes scanning me for any signs of distress. "What did she want?" she asked, her voice laced with suspicion.I let out a small sigh, still unsure how to process everything. "She apologized," I said simply.Meredith’s brows shot up in surprise. "She what?""She said nearly dying made her realize some things… and she wanted to apologize for how she treated me," I explained, shaking my head slightly. "I don’t know if I believe her."Meredith scoffed, folding her arms. "Well, I don’t believe her," she said firmly. "She’s never had a problem making your life miserable before. Now, suddenly, she’s sorry? Please."I gave her a small shrug. "I don’t trust her either," I admitted. "But I told he

    I was caught off guard by the question. He had never asked before. If he wanted something, he just did it. But now he was asking, and for some reason, that made my heart do a little flip.“Sure,” I murmured.Kai lowered himself onto the bench beside me, his movements controlled and graceful. His scent—something dark and rich, like cedarwood and a hint of smoke—filled my senses. He was so close, and the warmth of his body seeped into mine, making me feel both comforted and restless.I shifted slightly on the bench, trying to create some distance, but it was useless. Kai was right there, his presence overwhelming even when he wasn’t speaking. My body betrayed me, reacting to him in ways I didn’t want it to. My skin tingled with awareness, my breath felt uneven, and my heart pounded just a little harder.I hated that he had this effect on me. I hated that even after everything, after all the hurt and the distance, my body still recognized him as mine.We sat in silence for a moment, the

    I stayed in the garden for a little while longer, enjoying the peace and quiet. The fresh air felt nice, and for the first time in a long while, I didn’t feel completely alone. The encounter with Kai had been… unexpected. It wasn’t perfect, and it didn’t mean everything between us had changed, but at least he had shown some interest in the baby. That was more than I had ever thought possible.I rested my hand on my stomach, thinking about the way Kai had touched it. Gentle. Careful. Like he actually cared. Maybe not about me, but at least about the life growing inside me. That thought made my heart ache a little, but I pushed it away. I couldn’t afford to dwell on things that weren’t real.Zara’s apology also played on my mind. I still wasn’t sure if I believed her, but at least she had promised to be nicer. If she really meant it, then maybe—just maybe—my life in the pack wouldn’t be as miserable as before. But I wasn’t going to get my hopes up. I had learned my lesson when it came t

    My heart skipped a beat. Goodbye? I stared at him, gripping my fork so tightly that my knuckles turned white. “What do you mean ‘goodbye’?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Rhys was one of the only people in the pack who actually liked me. He and Mer had been my only friends here, the only ones who made me feel somewhat normal. And now... he was leaving? Tears stung my eyes before I could stop them, and I cursed myself under my breath. Stupid pregnancy hormones. My emotions were all over the place, and the thought of losing one of the few people who actually cared about me made my chest ache. Rhys’ eyes widened when he saw my tears, his face immediately softening. “Whoa, whoa, don’t cry!” He quickly set the tray down and moved closer, sitting on the edge of the bed. “It’s not like that, okay? I’m not leaving the pack. I’m just going on a short trip for a few days.” I sniffled, feeling incredibly stup

    He turned his attention to me and nodded. “Of course. What’s up?”I put my fork down, suddenly nervous. “It’s just… something’s been bothering me for a while.” I took a deep breath. “How did I even end up pregnant with Kai’s child? I mean, I was in a hospital in New York, and somehow, I got implanted with his sperm. How is that even possible?”Rhys’s expression turned serious. He leaned back against the headboard, crossing his arms. “I figured you’d ask about that eventually.”I raised an eyebrow. “And you didn’t think to tell me before?”He smirked. “Would you have believed me?”I opened my mouth to argue but then shut it. He had a point.Sighing, he ran a hand through his hair. “Alright, listen up. It’s one of our pack traditions. The Alpha’s sperm is always stored in a faraway and highly secured hospital.”My jaw dropped. “Wait—what?”He held up a hand. “Let me finish before you freak out.”I crossed

    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

    “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.

    My heart jumped into my throat, and I quickly pulled back from Elliot, turning to see who had spoken. My blood ran cold when I saw Kai standing just a few feet away.He looked more terrifying than I had ever seen him before. His usual silver eyes were pitch black, completely devoid of any light or warmth. His expression was dark and furious, his jaw clenched so tight I thought his teeth might shatter. He was dressed in a black shirt that clung to his broad shoulders and black slacks, looking like a shadow given human form.Elliot immediately stepped back, his eyes wide with fear. “Alpha, I—”Kai didn’t acknowledge his words, didn’t even glance at me. His entire focus was on Elliot, and I could feel the air around us growing heavy with his anger. My heart pounded as I noticed his hands—the nails had elongated into sharp, deadly claws, and his chest rose and fell with barely restrained rage.My heart pounded, and fear twisted in my stomach. I knew t

    For a moment, I let myself just exist—no worries, no stress, no overwhelming thoughts—just the soft rustling of leaves from the potted plants by the window and the faint hum of the radio playing a soothing melody in the background. The shop was like a little haven, filled with vibrant colors and the earthy, floral scent that wrapped around me like a comforting blanket.I glanced around, my eyes drawn to the different flower arrangements that Elliot had set on the counter. Each bouquet seemed to tell a story—the elegant roses paired with delicate baby’s breath, the wild assortment of sunflowers mixed with daisies, and a more subtle blend of lavender and white lilies. I reached out to trace the petals of a daisy, my fingertip brushing the soft, velvety texture. The simple beauty of it made my heart feel lighter, even just a bit.I couldn’t help but let my mind wander, thinking of how I usually played it safe, always trying to make the right decisions. Maybe it was time to do something a

    I looked down at the lily in my hand, turning it gently between my fingers. The petals felt so soft, almost like silk, and the delicate fragrance wrapped around me, calming my frayed nerves. I couldn’t help but smile a little. It was such a small, simple thing, but it made me feel a bit lighter, almost like I could breathe easier. For the first time that day, I felt like I wasn’t drowning in my thoughts.Lost in the softness of the petals, I barely noticed when Elliot moved closer until his warm hand gently covered mine, stilling my fingers. His touch was comforting—steady and gentle. I looked up, meeting his calm, reassuring gaze.“Hey,” he said softly, his voice soothing, like a balm to my wounded heart. He gave my hand a gentle squeeze, his thumb brushing over my knuckles. “Everything’s going to be alright. I promise. You don’t have to carry it all on your own.”His words were simple, but they carried a weight that made my chest feel a little less tight. I didn’t trust myself to sp

    I jumped a little, startled, and turned around quickly. There stood Elliot, holding a single white lily in his hand, his lips curled into a warm, easygoing smile. My heartbeat quickened, but not in the anxious way it did with Kai. Instead, it was a comforting, gentle flutter, almost like a reminder that not everything was as heavy as it seemed. “Oh! I didn’t hear you come up,” I admitted, trying to hide my embarrassment. He chuckled, the sound light and pleasant. “Sorry, didn’t mean to sneak up on you,” he said, offering me the lily. His fingers brushed mine briefly, and I couldn’t help but notice how soft his touch was. “This one reminded me of you—beautiful and delicate.” My cheeks flushed, and I couldn’t help but smile as I took the flower from him. “Thank you. It’s really pretty.” Elliot’s curls were a little messy, probably from a busy morning moving flowers around. He looked effortlessly charming in a simple white top that hugged his toned frame just right, paired with s

    Pushing open the door, I was immediately greeted by the warm, fragrant scent of flowers. It was almost overwhelming at first, like stepping into a garden that had been bottled up and released all at once. The air was thick with the sweet, earthy smell of roses, the crisp freshness of lilies, and something sugary that I couldn’t quite place. It reminded me of spring mornings, where everything felt hopeful and alive.The shop itself was cozy and inviting, with sunlight streaming through the large windows, casting soft patterns on the wooden floor. Bouquets of flowers filled nearly every available space, arranged in tall glass vases and wrapped in brown paper tied with twine. The colors were almost too much to take in at once—bright red roses with their velvety petals, soft pastel pink peonies, sunny yellow sunflowers, and delicate white lilies. Even the shelves were decorated with smaller potted plants, succulents, and cacti, their deep green hues providing a nice contrast to the more v

    I decided to call Elliot to see if we could meet now. My fingers felt a little shaky as I pulled my phone out and dialed his number. I wasn’t sure why I was nervous—maybe because I hadn’t really made any new friends lately, and he seemed like such a nice guy. I took a deep breath as the phone rang, trying to calm myself down.After a few rings, Elliot picked up. “Hello?” His voice sounded cheerful, and I couldn’t help but feel a little relieved.“Hey, Elliot, it’s me,” I said, trying to sound upbeat. “I was just wondering if we could meet now to check out the flower designs?”“Oh, absolutely!” he replied, sounding genuinely happy to hear from me. “I’ve got the arrangements ready for you to take a look at. Are you free now?”“Yeah, I’m already in town,” I answered. “Just tell me where your flower shop is, and I’ll head over.”“Great! It’s called ‘Bloom & Bliss,’ on Maple Street. You can’t miss it—the sign’s painted bright yellow, and there’s a big display of sunflowers outside,” he exp

    Finally, he stepped aside, and I hurried past him, not daring to look back. I needed to get as far away from him as possible before I completely broke down. My chest felt tight, and my eyes stung, but I refused to cry in front of him.As I walked down the path leading away from the house, I forced myself to take deep, calming breaths. The morning air was cool against my skin, and the soft rustling of leaves overhead was almost comforting. I needed this moment of peace, away from the tension and the ache in my chest. I tried to focus on the steady rhythm of my footsteps, one after the other, moving me farther from the mansion and all the confusion that came with it.My thoughts kept drifting back to Kai, no matter how hard I tried to push them away. I couldn’t get the image of him and Zara out of my head. The way he kissed her with so much passion made my heart ache. I bit my lip to stop the tears that threatened to fall. I didn’t want to cry anymore. I was tired of feeling hurt and co
