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 stared at her, completely shocked. "What?!" I squealed, immediately jumping up to hug her. "Oh my God, you kissed him?!"Her face turned an even deeper shade of red, and she nodded shyly. "It just... happened. We were in the garden, and he told me he was going on a trip, and we were just talking. And then, when we said goodnight, I kissed him. It felt... magical."I pulled back to look at her, my excitement bubbling over. "What did he say? What happened next?"Mer bit her lip nervously, not meeting my eyes. "I... I ran away. I just kissed him and ran."I couldn't contain my laughter. "You kissed him and ran away? Oh my God, Mer! You're so cute!" I was grinning ear to ear, totally excited for her. "Why would you run away? You could've stayed and enjoyed it!""I—I was just so embarrassed," she admitted, her hands twisting in her lap. "I didn't know what to do after. I panicked."I laughed again, trying to calm down. "Mer, you’re killing me! That sounds like something out of a romance

    We walked into the dining room together, still holding hands. The room was already bustling with pack members chatting and eating, the clinking of plates and silverware filling the air. The smell of fresh bread, eggs, and something sweet—maybe honey-glazed ham—made my stomach rumble.At the head table, Kai was seated in his usual spot, looking every bit the Alpha he was. Zara sat to his right, her expression unreadable as always. But it was Kai’s reaction that caught my attention—his eyes widened slightly when he saw me. I guess he hadn’t expected me to actually show up. I couldn’t blame him. This was my first time eating breakfast with everyone. Normally, I took my meals in my room, avoiding all the awkward stares and whispers.Rhys, sitting on Kai’s left, noticed us approaching and grinned. “Well, well, look who finally decided to join the living,” he teased.I rolled my eyes, but I was grinning too. “Shut up,” I said playfully.Mer, still flust

    The tone was low, calm… but there was an edge to it.Rhys finally seemed to notice the tension in the air because his smile faded slightly. “Yeah?”Kai’s gaze flickered down to where Rhys’ hand was still resting on my shoulder.I swallowed.Oh.Rhys seemed to realize it too because he immediately pulled his hand back. I kept my eyes on my plate, shoving a piece of bacon into my mouth like it was the most interesting thing in the world. But no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, I could still feel Kai’s gaze on me. It was intense, like he was silently trying to send a message I couldn’t understand.Well… this just got interesting.Curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to sneak a quick peek at Zara.Big mistake.She was glaring at Kai like she wanted to set him on fire with her eyes. Her jaw was tight, her fingers gripping her fork so hard I thought it might snap in half.Yikes. Awkw

    And there it was.I kept my expression calm, refusing to let her words sink in. I had played this game before. People like Zara wanted a reaction, and the best way to win was not to give them one.I tilted my head slightly, smiling just as sweetly. “That’s thoughtful of him,” I said, making sure my voice was light and easy, like she hadn’t just tried to insult me. “What time is the meeting?”Zara blinked, like she hadn’t expected me to brush her off so easily. But she recovered quickly. “Two o’clock. At Poppy’s.”Ah, Poppy’s. I remembered it from my tour with Mer. It was a cute little diner with the best pastries I’d ever tasted. At least the location was a win.I nodded. “Great. I’ll be there.”Then, before she could say anything else, I stood up, grabbed Mer’s hand, and walked out of the dining room without looking back.As soon as we were in the hallway, Mer let out a long breath and shook her head. “I swear, she’s un

    I blinked in confusion. What?"But... I was on time," I said, glancing at the clock on the wall just to be sure. It was exactly 2 PM, the time Zara had told me.The red-haired woman scoffed, shaking her head. "The meeting started an hour ago," she snapped.My stomach dropped.What?It took me a few seconds to put the pieces together. My gaze flickered to Zara, who was sipping her tea as if she hadn't just set me up.Of course.Of course she had done this.Zara had given me the wrong time on purpose. She had made sure I arrived late so I would look irresponsible.I clenched my fists under the table, forcing myself to stay calm."Zara told me the meeting was at 2," I said, my voice steady but firm.The room fell into silence.Zara let out a soft gasp, placing a hand on her chest like I had just accused her of something horrible. "Me?" she asked, eyes wide with fake innocence.I nodded. "Yes. You told me—""I'm so sorry if there was a misunderstanding," Zara interrupted, her voice sweet

    I hesitated, gripping the blanket. “I thought I was once… but looking back, I don’t think it was real.” Kai didn’t look away. “What happened?” I swallowed hard, staring down at my hands. “We were supposed to get married, but he broke up with me when I got pregnant.” Kai’s jaw clenched. “He left because of the baby?” I let out a shaky breath. “He thought I cheated on him. We never slept together, so he didn’t believe the baby was his.” Kai’s expression darkened. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he let me continue. “My gynecologist implanted sperm in me without my consent,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “I didn’t even know until it was too late. My half-sister paid her to do it.” Kai’s body tensed. “What?” “My father and stepmother believed I was lying,” I said bitterly. “They threw me out onto the streets.” Kai’s whole body stiffened. His jaw clenched so tightly I thought he might break a tooth. “They threw you out,” he repeated, his voice low and dan

    Kai turned off the main light, leaving only the faint glow of the fire as he moved to the other side of the bed. He climbed in, the bed dipping under his weight, and my whole body tensed when I felt the heat of him so close.The space between us was small—too small. If I moved even a little, I’d probably end up pressed against him. The thought sent a shiver down my spine, and I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to will myself to sleep.Just sleep. That’s all this was.But sleep wouldn’t come. No matter how hard I tried, I kept tossing and turning, unable to get comfortable. Every time I moved, the blankets rustled, and I knew Kai could hear it.“Can’t sleep?” His deep voice broke the silence.I sighed, rolling onto my back. “Yeah,” I admitted, staring up at the ceiling.For a moment, neither of us spoke. The fire crackled softly, casting flickering shadows across the room. Then, an idea popped into my head.“Wanna play a game?” I asked, sitting up slightly.Kai turned his head to look at

    I bit my lip, feeling a little embarrassed to admit it, but I forced myself to speak. “I just… after what happened tonight, I don’t really want to be alone,” I admitted quietly. The memory of the rogue in the forest still sent a shiver down my spine. What if there were more? What if I woke up to one standing over my bed?Kai’s expression softened just a little. “You don’t have to be scared. I won’t let anything happen to you,” he said, his voice full of quiet confidence.His words reassured me, but what he said next completely took me by surprise.“You don’t have to sleep alone,” he added after a pause. “You can sleep with me.”My breath caught in my throat, and my eyes widened. Sleep with him? In his bed?Heat crawled up my neck, spreading to my cheeks at the thought. My mind instantly betrayed me, picturing what that would mean—sharing a bed with Kai, his warmth so close, maybe even feeling the steady rise and fall of his chest against my back if we ended up too close.No. I shook t

    For a moment, neither of us spoke. The air between us was thick with something unspoken, something electric. I was too aware of how close we were, of the way his breath was slow and steady as I worked. I tried to ignore the weight of his gaze, but it was impossible when he was right there, his silver eyes locked onto my face.I finished cleaning the wound and reached for a fresh cloth to wipe away the excess antiseptic. As I pressed it gently against his skin, his hand suddenly came up, catching my wrist.My breath hitched as I looked up, meeting his gaze. His silver eyes were unreadable, darkened by something I couldn’t quite place. The heat from his touch sent a shiver up my arm.“You don’t have to do this,” he said, his voice quieter now, softer in a way I wasn’t used to.I swallowed hard. “I know.”His grip lingered for a second longer before he finally let go, his fingers trailing lightly against my skin as he pulled away. Even that small touch sent my pulse racing.I forced mys

    Zara stormed in, her eyes flashing with fury, her chest rising and falling with each angry breath. Her long blonde hair was slightly disheveled, like she had rushed here in a rage.“Why the hell wasn’t I part of the emergency pack meeting?” she demanded, her sharp voice slicing through the air. She crossed her arms, her gaze flickering between me and Kai, her lip curling in disgust. “But she was?”Kai exhaled slowly, his posture rigid. His expression remained calm, but I could feel the tension radiating off him.“Lily had every right to be here,” he said, his deep voice unwavering. “She’s carrying my child. My heir.”Zara let out a bitter, humorless laugh, shaking her head in disbelief. “Your heir,” she repeated mockingly, rolling her eyes. Then, just as quickly, her amusement vanished, replaced with pure fury.She took a step closer, her entire body trembling with anger. “I hate you, Kai,” she spat, her voice thick with emotion. “I hate

    The pack elders exchanged glances but didn’t hesitate. One by one, they nodded and started filing out of the room. The quiet murmur of voices faded as they disappeared down the hall, leaving just Kai and me standing there.I turned to leave as well. Pack meetings weren’t for me. I wasn’t a werewolf, wasn’t an official part of their structure. I was just the human woman carrying the future Alpha’s child.But before I could take a step, Kai’s warm hand wrapped around my wrist, stopping me in place.“Lily,” he said, his voice softer now. “You should be there.”I looked up at him, confused. “What?”His grip didn’t tighten, but it was firm enough to keep me from pulling away. “You have a right to be there,” he said simply. “You’re carrying my child—our future Alpha. It’s time you started attending meetings.”My lips parted slightly. I wasn’t expecting that. I thought he’d want to keep me as far away from pack matters as possible.“But… I don’t know anything about—”“You’ll learn,” he inter

    The only sound left was the ragged rise and fall of Kai’s breathing. He didn’t let go immediately, making sure the rogue was truly dead before finally releasing his grip and stepping back.His muzzle was stained with blood, his fur ruffled, but he stood victorious.I sat frozen, my breath shallow, my pulse still racing. My stomach turned at the sight of the lifeless rogue, but at the same time, a deep sense of relief washed over me.Kai had protected me.Slowly, he turned to face me. His silver eyes, still glowing in the moonlight, locked onto mine.I didn’t know what to say. My voice had abandoned me, my body trembling from the adrenaline crash.He took a step closer, his intense gaze searching my face as if making sure I was okay.I swallowed hard and finally found my voice. “You’re hurt,” I whispered, my eyes flickering to the wound on his shoulder.Kai huffed, shaking his fur as if dismissing my concern. Then, as if he could sense my lingering fear, he did something unexpected.He

    For a moment, we just stood there, the silence between us filled with unspoken emotions. The moon shone brightly above, casting a silver glow over everything, making the scene feel almost surreal.Kai turned his head toward the stream and nudged me again, his warm, damp nose pressing lightly against my arm. It was gentle but insistent, like he was urging me toward the water.I hesitated for a second before obeying, stepping carefully over the smooth stones that lined the edge of the stream. The ground was cool beneath my bare feet, and the soft trickle of water filled the air with a soothing melody. I knelt by the edge, dipping my fingers into the crisp, clear water. It was ice-cold against my skin, a refreshing contrast to the lingering warmth on my face.Cupping my hands, I lifted the water to my lips and took small sips, savoring the way it cooled my throat. The nausea that had been twisting in my stomach slowly began to ease, though my body still felt light and tingly from the run

    My heart skipped a beat. I hadn’t expected him to include me in the run, not like this. I wasn’t one of them, and yet, he was making sure I didn’t feel left out.Before I could respond, a loud scoff cut through the air. Zara, still in her human form, rolled her eyes. She crossed her arms over her chest, clearly displeased, but thankfully, she didn’t say anything.She knew better than to protest. The pack had already accepted that the child growing inside me was their future Alpha. Denying me this experience would mean denying my baby a chance to bond with their pack.With a huff, Zara shifted, her sleek brown wolf shaking out her fur before trotting off into the crowd of waiting wolves.I turned back to Kai, who gave me a small nod before stepping back.Then, right in front of me, he finally shifted.I had seen the others transform, but watching Kai was something else entirely. His bones cracked loudly, his muscles rippling as his body changed shape. His clothes tore apart as thick, d
