AVA

Once Jacob and Alex had left, Leo and Izzie quickly excused themselves too with dirty smirks on their faces.

“What now, Ava?” Theo asked.

“I could go for a swim. Want to come?”

“You’re meant to be taking it easy, Ava, swimming isn’t easy,” Callum’s voice was angry.

“Swimming is low impact. I’m not talking intensive lengths, I’m talking relaxing in the lake.” I paused for a moment to talk to Artemis. “How are my ribs looking?”

“All healed, Ava,” she was skipping around excitedly.

“Oh Artemis, I love you!”

“Awww, Ava,” she smirked.

I turned my attention back to Callum. “Artemis says my ribs are healed, I’m all good to go.”

“Ava, the doctor said 24 hours.”

“He said until I’m healed, Callum.”

His face said he wasn’t going to give.

“Fine, would it make you feel better if I get doc to x-ray my chest?”

He nodded.

“Fine, come along you lot.” I rolled my eyes.

Callum insisted on driving, so we reached the pack hospital in no time at all.

“Alpha Ava, are you okay?” the doctor called out.

“I

    Silence fell over the bed as they processed the clues, each looking from their box to the others', piecing together the fragmented riddle. I held my breath, watching comprehension spread across Oscar's face first—his eyes snapping to mine, lips parting in shocked delight."Ava?" he whispered, the single word loaded with question.I nodded, tears already gathering in my eyes.Callum caught on next, his steady gaze locking with mine as understanding transformed his features. His hand moved instinctively toward my stomach before freezing mid-air, as if afraid to touch me.Noah and Theo realised almost simultaneously—Noah with a sharp intake of breath, Theo with a sudden stillness that seemed to stop time itself."You're pregnant," Noah said, the words not a question but a statement filled with wonder. "You're actually pregnant."Tears spilled onto my cheeks as I nodded again. "Six weeks," I confirmed, voice breaking with emotion. "I

    I woke to warmth—complete, encompassing warmth that I had missed for far too long. The familiar weight of bodies surrounded me, a living fortress of love. Theo's arm draped possessively across my waist, Noah's steady breathing tickled my neck, Callum's leg tangled with mine, and Oscar's hand rested on my hip. All four of my kings, home at last, arranged around me like the points of a compass with me at their center. Christmas morning light filtered through the curtains, painting our bed in soft gold, and for the first time in weeks, I felt whole.*They're all here,* Artemis purred contentedly within me, her joy mirroring my own. *Our pack is complete again.*"I know," I whispered, the words barely disturbing the quiet of the morning.I lay perfectly still, savoring the moment, memorising the weight and warmth of them. Theo and Noah had arrived just as Christmas Eve tipped into Christmas Day, exhausted but triumphant, their faces bearing the marks of their

    I wished I shared her confidence. The meal progressed through multiple courses – roast venison with winter vegetables, poached fish in a delicate sauce, a selection of cheeses from every territory in the kingdom. I ate sparingly of each, using conversation to distract from my unusually modest appetite.At precisely ten o'clock, the orchestra positioned in the corner began to play, the lilting notes of a traditional wolf dance filling the hall. Oscar was on his feet immediately, extending his hand to me with a theatrical bow."My Queen," he said, eyes sparkling with mischief, "would you do me the honour?"I allowed him to lead me to the center of the floor, where other couples were already forming for the dance. His hand rested lightly at my waist, the other clasping mine as we began the familiar steps."You've been quiet tonight," he observed, his voice low enough that only I could hear. "Are you still feeling unwell?""Just missing Theo

    In our chambers, I surveyed the dresses laid out across the bed, trying to determine which would best conceal my condition. Not that there was anything to show yet – my stomach remained flat, my body outwardly unchanged – but paranoia had made me hypersensitive to anything that might cling too closely to my midsection.I selected a deep burgundy gown with an empire waist, the fabric flowing loosely from just beneath my breasts. Festive enough for Christmas Eve, but not so dramatic as to draw undue attention. As I slipped it on, I caught sight of myself in the full-length mirror – cheeks flushed, eyes bright with secret knowledge, the silver crown of my position glinting in the lamplight as I settled it atop my curls.Queen Avelina Wroblewski, ruler of wolves and Lycans, uniter of ancient enemies, and now, finally, mother-to-be.The thought brought fresh tears, which I hastily blinked away as I heard footsteps approaching. Oscar's distinctive stride, quick

    I pressed my hand to my stomach for the hundredth time that day, marvelling at the secret life growing beneath my palm. The office around me was still, a pocket of quiet in a palace overflowing with Christmas Eve preparations. Artemis stirred contentedly within me, a warm presence wrapped protectively around the tiny spark we both cherished. Six weeks. Six weeks of miraculous change happening within my body, unnoticed by the kings who shared my bed, my throne, my life. I withdrew my hand quickly as footsteps approached my door, guilt flashing through me at the deception. Just a little longer. Just until we were all together.The footsteps passed, and I exhaled slowly, returning to the small boxes arranged on my desk. Four identical mahogany containers, each lined with velvet and awaiting the pieces of the puzzle I'd spent the morning crafting. The secret felt like a living thing inside me, separate from the actual life growing in my womb – a wild, joyful beast clawing to br

    "Oh," I whispered, the single syllable containing a universe of emotion. My free hand moved instinctively to my stomach, pressing against the flat plane where life now grew. "Oh, my god."*I told you!* Artemis was practically dancing with joy. *Pups! Our pup! We did it!*Tears spilled onto my cheeks as I sank to the floor, back against the cool marble of the bathtub, test still clutched in my hand like a talisman. Pregnant. After five years, after countless negative tests, after specialists and treatments and rituals, after fighting the shadow of a curse that had hung over us like a malevolent cloud—pregnant."I need to tell them," I whispered, picturing my kings' faces. "They've waited so long, hoped so long..."Christmas. I would tell them on Christmas morning. What better gift could I possibly give them? I could already imagine it—the five of us (please, all five, I prayed silently) gathered around the tree, exchanging presents. I would save mi
