Diana When Josh and Jaden burst into the house, a whirlwind of energy swept in with them. Their excited shouts echoed through the halls, and before I could process it, they flung themselves at me, clinging to my legs like vines."Mommy, Mommy!" Jaden’s voice rang loud and clear, his excitement nearly knocking me backward. Josh followed, a little quieter but no less affectionate, hugging my waist with surprising strength for a five-year-old.I crouched down, wrapping my arms around both boys and despite knowing they weren’t mine, my heart swelled in a way I hadn’t expected. Their joy was infectious, and for a moment, I forgot all about the guilt and the lies.“Mommy, guess what?” Jaden started, his words tumbling over each other. “Taffa Taffa was so fun! There were these really big slides, and I went down the tallest one, but Josh was too scared to do it, so I did it for him. And then we played this game with water guns, and I won every time because I’m the fastest!”Standing a little

Diana“What do you want?” I snapped at the snake. Shrugging, his grin widened. “Just passing by. Imagine my surprise when I found you here, looking all scholarly.”I turned away, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a response. Then, I plastered on a neutral expression, pretending his presence didn’t bother me as much as it did. He leaned against the doorway with a smug grin plastered across his face.“But seriously, what are you doing here?” His voice carried a casual arrogance that grated on my nerves.I turned back to the shelf. “Looking for a book to read.”Eddie let out a low chuckle. “You? Reading? Since when did you develop a love for books? Last time I checked, you’d rather watch paint dry than crack open a novel.”“People change,” I said simply, keeping my tone light, though my insides were irritating.“Change?” he echoed, stepping closer. “You? Change? That’s rich. What’s next? You’ll tell me you’ve suddenly taken up knitting or decided to become a saint?”I shot him a

Diana The night felt like a slow tease that prickled under your skin and left you restless. I decided that I wouldn't shy away if Asher came to my room tonight. Lila was dead, after all, and Asher was my mate. The bond burned between us like a wildfire. It wasn’t a crime. Not if the real Lila was gone. Maybe this would soften the inevitable blow when he found out the truth.I stood before the vanity and stared at my reflection. My heart raced as I slid into a black lingerie set that hugged my curves in ways even I had to admit looked good. The lace danced over my skin, and I adjusted the straps carefully, making sure it looked perfect. The fabric gave a teasing hint of my body. I spritzed a vanilla perfume, hoping the scent would excite Asher.The room wasn’t left to chance, either. I placed small candles around the space to create an intimate warmth. I adjusted the pillows on the bed, fluffing them just so, and draped a satin throw over the foot of the bed for that added touch of s

Asher The night stretched endlessly as I lay on the massive bed, tossing and turning. I couldn't sleep. Instead, my ability to sleep was replaced by a swarm of thoughts that clung to my mind like stubborn cobwebs. I stared at the ceiling and an unbearable frustration coiled tighter with each passing second.My marriage with Lila had been a battlefield, filled with, betrayals, and uneasy truces. I hated bringing up the memories, seeing that we were now fated, but they came uninvited. Back then, I had started noticing her changes. Her absence from the boys’ lives, the way she always had an excuse to leave the room when I entered, her phone constantly glued to her hand, the messages she’d quickly hide when I got too close. At first, I thought I was overthinking it, or perhaps I was just imagining things. But the evidence piled up were so obvious.Every time I confronted her, she denied it with the smoothness of someone who had practiced lying. “I’m just busy, Ash,” she’d say, rolling

Diana My ear pressed against the heavy oak door as muffled voices drifted from the other side. At first, I couldn’t make out much of the servants' gossip, but as I adjusted my stance, I realized they were talking about me, or rather Lila.“Do you think she’s changed?” a young voice asked, sounding skeptical. “People don’t just wake up one day and decide to stop being horrible.”“Maybe an exorcism was performed on her, and now the demons are out, and she can see the light,t,” another voice said, sounding amused.“Pfft,” the first one snorted. “And pigs can fly. You weren’t here last year when she made the head cook cry because the soup was too salty. She threw the entire pot on the floor and told him to lick it up.”“Oh, I was here, alright. Have you forgotten that she made me polish the silverware three times in one day because she said she could see her face but not her soul in the reflection?”They all laughed. The sound bit into me like a whip, but I kept listening.“A chameleon c

Diana I couldn't stop the nerves from gripping my heart. Asher crossed his arms and fixed me with a patient dog."Lila, trust me. This isn’t a debate. Seeing the doctor will help you."I opened my mouth to protest again, but his eyes silenced me.“I’m fine,” I muttered for what felt like the hundredth time. “You’re blowing this out of proportion.”He smiled softly and kissed my fingers one after the other. “Then humor me. If there’s nothing wrong, there’s no harm in going. Right?”Cornered, I had no choice but to nod reluctantly. “Fine.”“Good. Now, go get dressed.”---Knowing this outing wasn’t optional, I wore a simple green tunic. It had a wide belt cinched at the waist and short sleeves paired with sandals. When I returned to meet him, Asher was waiting by the door.The drive was quiet. I stared out the window, avoiding Asher’s gaze. For the first time since stumbling into his home, I was stepping outside the castle groundsThe sight of the pack stole my breath. The semi-urban l

Asher I focused on Lila as if trying to unravel every secret she held. Something about how she looked at me—soft but guarded—tugged at a part of me I didn’t know existed. The connection between us pulsing with a magnetic pull I couldn’t ignore. Her eyes drew me in. It was insane how the bond had transformed everything and made her the center of my world.Her breathing quickened, and I caught the flicker of desire in her gaze, mirroring my own. My fingers itched to touch her, to close the gap between us entirely, and I couldn’t stop myself any longer. Slowly, I reached out and drew her closer. My hands rested on her waist, feeling the warmth of her skin through the thin fabric of her robe.I leaned in and brushed my lips against hers, softly at first, to test the waters. The kiss was gentle, like the first raindrop before a storm, but the intensity built quickly. I groaned with desire when her tongue wrapped against mine and deepened the kiss, letting my desire speak for me. Her lip

Diana's POV“Darling, what’s going on between you and Eddie?"My heart skipped so hard it could have been auditioning for a circus act. I blinked at Asher, pretending I didn’t understand the question. “What do you mean?” I asked, keeping my voice even as possible, though I could feel the panic creeping in.Asher leaned back. His eyes flicked between Eddie and me, who stood off and looked far too relaxed. “I mean, I’ve noticed the dwindling rapport between you two. You don’t invite him to dinners like you used to, and the friendship you two had seems off.”I swallowed hard, fighting to glare at Eddie, who dared to look amused. “That’s not true,” I said quickly, shaking my head. I turned to Eddie, forcing a smile onto my face. “We’re fine. Right, Eddie?”Eddie tucked his hands into his pockets, enjoying my discomfort. “Maybe Lila’s just outgrowing me,” he said, his voice dripping with mock hurt.I gave him a playful nudge and burst into a fake laugh. “Don’t be ridiculous.

Diana Asher and I watched Lila storm off in a rage to the other wing of the house. I sighed and turned to face Asher. He pulled me closer to himself, and I sniffed his breath."Have you been drinking?"He shrugged. Our eyes locked, and I wondered why he was so calm about everything. I knew it was his way of handling situations, but after seeing the state of things outside, it was hard to believe he wasn't affected. I trusted Asher, knowing that he understood the weight of this crisis. I just wanted it all to be over."Are you okay?" he asked, rubbing my belly before pressing a kiss to my neck, right where he had marked me. A shiver ran through me, but pleasure was the last thing on my mind when everything around us was falling apart."Are you okay?" I asked him back, watching his face carefully. He smiled, took my hand, and led me to the balcony."I'm on house arrest," he said, as if it was some kind of joke."It's not funny," I muttered, pulling away slightly when he tried to hold m

Asher Darkness clung to me like a living thing, wrapping around my chest like an iron vice. My heart burned with hatred at the injustice of it all.Some of these foolish packmates—people I had protected and fought for—were now standing in the streets, cheering for the coup. They had claimed to be dissatisfied with my government, even though it had been the most peaceful reign in over a century.Eddie and his vagabond uncle had introduced crime, lawlessness, and corruption. They had brought gangs into the kingdom, allowing them to run wild, unchecked, turning my lands into their personal playground of chaos.And yet—the people cheered for them.The same people who had benefited from my leadership. The ones who had walked my streets in peace. The ones whose children had been safe under my rule.It made me sick.I mobilized military units, armed vehicles, and trusted men, making sure every key location was secured. But the opposition was growing. They had spent years planting their seed

Diana Vera drove in silence. She wasn’t the type to shy away from speaking her mind, but I could tell she felt guilty about what she had said earlier. Maybe she thought she had been too harsh and direct in telling me that I was a source of danger to her family. But in retrospect, there was nothing wrong with what she had said—she was right.I was about to become a mother. I loved Jaden and Josh as if they were my own, and the last thing I would ever want was to put them in harm’s way. I knew that the moment Eddie set his sights on me, he would kill me without a second thought.“Getting worked up over what you said is funny, you know,” I said lightly, smiling as I turned to look at her. The car bounced slightly as we navigated the dirt road, heading toward the highway.Vera exhaled a sigh, her eyes locked on the road ahead. “You don’t deserve this. To think you’re even pregnant… What if you hadn’t gotten through to anyone? You could have lost the baby. I don’t like that you’re all alo

DianaI paced around the house, bored and restless. I had cleaned the kitchen and rearranged the cushions on the couch, but none of it filled the emptiness that lingered inside me. The house felt like a beautiful cage.My fingers trailed along the edge of the windowsill at the front window, and I gazed out, hoping for some distraction. All I could see was the tall iron gate standing like a wall between me and the world outside. I sighed deeply, my breath fogging up the glass. I just wished Asher could come today. I missed him more than I could put into words. I missed the boys as well. Thinking about them gave me a bittersweet sensation.I wandered into the kitchen, opening the fridge door and staring at the shelves. Then I grabbed a glass of water to drink. The house felt too quiet. I wondered what was happening at the castle right now. Were the elders rallying behind Asher? Were there whispers in the halls about the coup and the traitors? I closed my eyes, picturing it all. Asher wo

Asher I stepped into the house feeling several pounds lighter, which was the effect of being with Diana. She had such a beautiful name, and even though Lila’s name was beautiful as well, perhaps it was their personalities that made Diana’s more radiant. In a good mood, I whistled quietly and ascended the stairs. The house was quiet, and I thought the kids were asleep until I heard the unmistakable sound of sobbing. My good mood evaporated instantly, and I quickened my pace toward the children’s corner.The nanny was trying to comfort Josh, who was clutching his stuffed toy with tears streaming down his face. When Josh spotted me, he ran to me, and I scooped him up. He buried his face in my chest, his sobs intensifying.“What’s wrong, son? Why are you crying?”His cries were muffled against my chest, leaving me to turn my gaze toward the nanny.“What happened?” I asked her.She hesitated, wringing her hands nervously. “The queen scolded him, Your Majesty.”“Scolded him? Why?”She shif

The metallic scrape of keys turning in my cell door revealed the female guard. She stepped inside without a word and pulled out a dark, hooded cloak, handing it to me. Her face remained indifferent."Turn around," she ordered.I obeyed and faced the wall as she helped me put on the cloak. She gave me gloves and ensured I was properly disguised."Follow my lead," she instructed, guiding me out of the cell.The dungeon was quiet, as most of its occupants were asleep. When we reached the exit, the guard signaled to someone outside. I heard the sound of a van’s engine idling, and soon the van door slid open. The female guard held me steady as I stepped up into the vehicle. My heart folded in my chest, and I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. The cloak draped over my shoulders felt suffocating, trapping the heat of my anxiety against my skin.I couldn’t trust anyone. Eddie had his followers everywhere. The guard driving must have noticed how I trembled because he assured me,"We’re on the k

Diana My heart pounded in my chest. I had seen Asher standing before me. I didn't even need to see who it was to feel the pull of the bond. My breathing grew shallow, and I rushed to my feet.He stood outside the cell for about a minute, watching me. His presence filled the space, and yet I couldn’t read his expression. His tall frame loomed in the light, his gaze locked onto mine. He was too composed—and that frightened me even more.When the gate swung open, he stepped inside.I couldn't move. My trembling hands fell to my sides as I waited for him to speak, to act, to do something. But he remained silent.I knew that, as a king, Asher would want to please his packmates and do the right thing by getting rid of me. I had been branded an enemy, and the laws were clear—traitors were not spared. But there was something else, something deeper in his stance, in the way he hesitated, in the way his eyes flickered with an emotion I couldn’t quite place.Was he battling with himself?Slowl

Asher I paced my bedroom, allowing my thoughts consume me. The tension in the back of my neck was a dull ache, and my hands occasionally brushed over it, lingering on the spot where Diana had marked me. It was crazy how I had to adjust to her name. I paused by the large window overlooking the courtyard, staring into the expanse outside.Ever since I threw her into the dungeon, I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was pregnant. My fingers curled into fists as I leaned against the windowsill. She was pregnant, but then, was it really my child?This question cut through me, and the doubt felt like a betrayal—to myself and the bond we shared as fated mates. The truth should have been enough to silence the whispers of suspicion in my mind.That child was mine. If Lila, who didn't love me, could have my babies, how much more my fated mate?I crossed the room to a side table where a decanter of whiskey and a glass sat. I poured myself a generous amount and downed it in one gulp.The burn

DianaThey shoved me into a musty dungeon, and I stumbled forward as the heavy iron door slammed shut behind me. My wrists, raw and sore from the guards' grip, throbbed as I struggled to regain my balance.My chest tightened, and my breaths came in sharp gasps as I tried to adjust to the darkness surrounding me. The air reeked of decay and rusted metal, thick and almost choking. I scanned the space desperately, taking in the bars that caged me and the narrow window high on the wall that offered only a faint reminder of the outside world.In the silence, faint sounds reached my ears—a low murmur, a harsh cough from another cell. These were the sounds of the condemned, and now I was one of them.My legs gave way, and I sank to the cold ground, pressing my back against the wall as fear clawed at me. My mind raced, but I forced myself to focus on Asher. He had a plan. He alw
