Cora's POV

I’m lying on Jasper’s bed, wrapped in soft blankets, doing my best to recover. The scent of fir—his scent—lingers in the air, calming my nerves more than I care to admit. For the first time in a long while, I feel almost safe. Almost like myself again.

A maid enters briskly, carrying a tray of food. She sets it beside me and disappears without a word. I glance at the steak, intending only to pick at it.

I’m not really hungry—I just need the excuse to hide the pregnancy. But the moment the aroma hits me, something primal stirs. I sink my fork into the meat and bring the first bite to my lips.

It tastes like heaven.

Without thinking, I devour it—bite after bite—until I’m nearly halfway through the plate. It’s only then that I feel Jasper’s eyes on me. He’s sitting across from the bed, arms folded, silently watching.

Back in Snowcrest, I could barely eat. I was too afraid, too hollow. But here… here, for the first time in ages, I enjoy the food.

I realize how long it’s been

  • Carrying the Alpha’s Baby, But He Loves My Twin   Chapter 10: The Challenge

    Cora's POVThe next morning, I get up with the first light, wash up quickly, and change into the training clothes the maid left out for me—lightweight, fitted, and easy to move in. I run through every possibility in my mind, trying to guess what kind of test Jasper might throw at me. Sparring seems like the most likely option.Among werewolves, duels are the most direct way to prove yourself. Simple. Brutal. Undeniable.As soon as I step into his office, Jasper’s eyes lock onto me.“You ready?” he asks casually, setting aside a folder on his desk like we’re just heading out for a morning stroll.I swallow hard and nod once, trying to match his calm.“Who am I fighting?” I ask, getting straight to the point.“You’re not fighting anyone,” Jasper says, standing and walking toward me with quiet, confident steps.I blink, caught off guard. “I’m not?”He stops a few feet in front of me. “The Moongrove Pack doesn’t operate like most others,” he says. “Yes, we value strength. But we don’t gl

  • Carrying the Alpha’s Baby, But He Loves My Twin   Chapter 1: Wedding Day

    Cora's POV“Are you ready, sweetheart?” my mom’s voice floated through the heavy oak door, all sugar and sunshine.I stare at my reflection, my heart pounding so hard it hurts.The satin wedding dress clung to my body like a second skin, and Luna's tiara glittered in my loose curls.I should’ve been glowing.I should’ve been thrilled.Instead, I felt like I couldn’t breathe.“Just... just a second!” I call back, smoothing my trembling hands down the front of my dress.Today, I was marrying the man of my dreams—Alpha Liam Thompson of the Snowcrest Pack.At least, that’s what everyone kept telling me.Only three months ago, I was just another nameless orphan in the Stonebrook Home for Unclaimed Wolves.I spent my days scrubbing floors, cooking for ungrateful kids, dodging Mrs. Edith’s whip.I didn’t even have a last name.Then one night, everything changed.Two strangers arrived, standing tall and proud in the moonlight—an Alpha and a Luna.And they were crying.Crying for me.They said

    Cora's POVLiam and I have been married for two months now, but I still can’t stop thinking about the name he whispered on our wedding night.Who exactly is Iris?We sit at the breakfast table, a tense, awkward silence hanging between us.Ever since the wedding, Liam has been distant.Sure, we still sleep together, and he indulges some of my requests, but most of the time, I feel like a ghost in this house—like he doesn’t really see me.And deep down, I can’t help but think it has something to do with Iris.Today, I can’t take it anymore. I have to talk to him.He barely glances at me when I sit down, offering only a flat, passing “morning.”I load my plate slowly, forcing myself to look at him, willing myself to be brave.My voice wavers for just a second, but then I find my resolve.“Who’s Iris?” I ask, blunt and direct.Liam freezes. His eyes flick away from mine, that same cold distance rising like a wall between us.“You must’ve misheard me, Cora,” he says, voice flat, almost mec

  • Carrying the Alpha’s Baby, But He Loves My Twin   Chapter 3: Doppelganger

    Cora's POVJust as doubt creeps into my mind, a sudden wave of dizziness knocks the breath out of me.Gasping for air, I stumble toward the loveseat, barely able to steady myself. My limbs feel awkward, numb, almost foreign. Before I can catch my balance, a violent surge of nausea rises from deep inside me. Clutching my stomach, I lurch toward the bathroom.I barely manage to flip the toilet seat open before vomiting uncontrollably.Groaning, I cling to the sides of the bowl, my body shuddering with each painful heave. Another wave of nausea hits, forcing me to empty my stomach once more. I can’t tell how long I stay there, trembling and weak, but eventually the sickness begins to ebb, leaving me drained.Wiping my mouth, I stagger to the sink. Cold water splashes across my face as I stare into the mirror—my reflection pale, my eyes wide and glassy, my lower lip trembling.Something feels wrong. This doesn’t feel like ordinary stress. This isn’t just sadness or fear twisting my stomac

    Cora's POVI stare at the girl lying in bed, my heart frozen in my chest.Everyone in the room notices me. Liam stops feeding her mid-spoonful, his head snapping toward me. The tender affection he wore just a moment ago vanishes, replaced by his usual cold, distant gaze.Why?Why is my husband caring for her so gently? Why are my parents standing by her side, looking after her with so much concern?It’s as if the girl in the hospital bed is the real me—the daughter my parents love, the wife Liam cherishes. And I’m just... an intruder. An outsider crashing into a life that was never meant for me.She’s living the life I want.And I am nothing.My parents and Liam stand there, frozen, like they’ve been caught hiding something they never meant for me to see. Their eyes flicker between me and the girl, panic etched into every line of their faces.Before any of them can speak, the girl moves first.With a delighted gasp, she leaps out of bed, bare feet slapping against the floor as she rus

    Cora's POVThe harsh fluorescent lights sting my eyes as I blink awake. My vision clears just enough to see my parents and Liam stepping closer to my bed.A groan escapes my lips as I push myself upright. Pain flares in my hip—no doubt bruised from the fall. I'm wrapped in soft hospital blankets, an IV drip secured to my arm. Everything feels surreal, like I'm floating somewhere outside myself.I meet Liam’s gaze. For a fleeting second, relief washes over me—he’s here. But the feeling shatters almost immediately, the memory of what happened slamming into me like a punch. My heart hardens instinctively, throwing up walls I can barely hold steady.“Are you feeling unwell?” Liam asks, his brows drawn tight.For a heartbeat—a single, foolish heartbeat—I wonder if maybe, somewhere deep down, he still cares.But his next words crush that fragile hope without mercy.“How could you not even know that you're pregnant?” Liam spits, his voice sharp, eyes blazing with anger. “From now on, you’re

Why would they? I’m just the vessel.It’s fine. I’ve been preparing for this.If anything, a public baby shower gives me the perfect win

    Cora's POVJust as I’m nearly scared to death by that voice, a tall, handsome stranger slowly steps out of the shadows.This man is strikingly beautiful — sharp cheekbones, messy hair, and muscles that ripple beneath his clothes. But what catches my attention more than anything is what he just said.“I’ve been waiting for you, mate.” His words echo through my mind as my heart races. I must have misheard him, right? My mate is Liam.I know this to be true, because the agony of my mate bond with Liam combined with the heartbreak of his betrayal is damn near tearing me apart. So why is this stranger calling me his mate? After all, there’s no way I could have two mates. Right? Has something like this ever happened before, Moon Goddess?“Might I ask what you’re doing trespassing on my territory?” His words don’t just echo in the air. They vibrate through me, making the hair on the back of my neck stand. I barely hold myself steady.The scent hits me first — fir, fresh rain, somethi

  • Carrying the Alpha’s Baby, But He Loves My Twin   Chapter 8: The Rogue Mate

    Jasper's POV“I want you…”As I hear her words clearly, a spark of desire flickers within me, sending waves of heat through my body.She better knows what she’s saying. But she looks more like she’s delirious from hunger, rambling nonsense. It’s not hard to guess—rogues are always short on food.Usually, once werewolves find their mate, they quickly bond with them, even mate. Her scent clings to my nose, intoxicating me. If she weren’t so out of it, I think I’d have already lost control and kissed her.But it’s fine. Now that she’s in my territory, she’s mine.My mate. Welcome to my world.I pull her close, effortlessly lifting her into my arms. How is she so light? Has she not been eating properly? I frown as I head toward the pack house.The moment I stepped through the door, my Beta and Gamma immediately stopped their conversation and gave me curious looks. I knew exactly what they were thinking.It’s the old topic in the pack—the one about my mate.Since I turned twenty-six, the e
