Chapter – The New Luna

“What?!” Darian gasped in shock. He turned to me immediately, but my eyes were fixed on Serena. Her head was lowered to the floor, refusing to meet my gaze. I wanted her to look at me—look me in the eyes and repeat what she had just said.

Serena is pregnant…for me?

“How did that happen?” one of the elders asked. Serena started to stand, as if she was about to respond, but instead, she broke into tears.

She was putting on a show.

“I don’t think the Alpha would want his personal life discussed in public like this,” one of the elders muttered, trying to de-escalate.

“You came here to say you’re pregnant for the Alpha, and now you can’t tell us how it happened?” my uncle, the eldest among the council, spoke up harshly. “Do we look like the kids in your school?”

Serena wiped her eyes and finally spoke. “We…we had sex a few days after his wife’s body was found.”

The entire council erupted into murmurs.

“Oh, so he had sex during his mourning period,” Jorah said loudly,

The silence between us wasn’t heavy—it was just thoughtful.“I did the math again,” she said softly, her eyes not leaving the clothes. “You’re five months along, Zoey.”I froze for a second, holding a pair of socks in my hand. I already knew, but hearing it from her made it real all over again.“You were already pregnant while you were still in Alpha Lyon’s house,” she added.I nodded slowly. “Yes.”Nana looked up at me. “You knew?”There was no point lying. “I found out a few weeks before I left.”She didn’t ask why I didn’t tell her. She just let out a quiet sigh and ran her hand over the bag. “So… in four months, you’ll be holding your baby.”I smiled a little, then looked at her. “And after those four months, Nana… do I still have to stay with Kael?”She blinked, like she hadn’t thought that far ahead. “I don’t

    Chapter: The Pregnant corpseLyon’s POVI didn’t want to be here.The room smelled like polished wood and expensive cologne. My mother had set everything up like it was some royal meeting. Long table. Fresh flowers. Fancy wine. Fake smiles.Serena sat across from me, wearing a soft pink dress and that fake sweet expression she always wore around my family. Her father sat beside her, talking about wedding dates like he was booking a business deal.“And I think a December wedding would give us enough time to prepare,” he said, tapping a gold pen against his notebook. “High society loves a winter wedding.”My mother nodded. “A winter ceremony would be perfect. Classy and memorable.”I stared at the glass in front of me, barely listening. My jaw tightened.Zoey used to hate winter.“Lyon,” my father called, breaking my thoughts. “What do you think? December?”“I don’t care,” I muttered.Serena chuckled lightly. “That’s okay. I’ll take care of most of the planning.”Of course, she would.M

The tall glass windows, the sweet smell of vanilla in the hallways, and the soft music playing in the background helped me sleep better than I had in months.But I was still new to everything. And it didn’t take long before I messed up.I was helping organize the guest schedule in the front lounge. Kael had asked me to rest in my room but i was bored and decided to assist the head of bookings, a woman named Marsha. She was sharp, fast-talking, and very serious about her job.“Just arrange the appointments in order of their check-in times,” she said, handing me a digital tablet.I nodded, smiling politely. “Yes, I can do that.”Only… I couldn’t.I thought I understood the system, but I accidentally deleted three reservation slots. Within minutes, chaos broke out. One guest had been double-booked, and another was left without a

I hadn’t been gone long, but something about walking through those glass doors again made me feel like I was stepping back into something unfinished.I stood near the reception, a little nervous. I hadn’t exactly left on good terms last time. I expected cold stares or awkward silence, but Kael came out from the back hallway with a warm smile on his face.“You came back,” he said.I nodded. “I did.”There was a short pause. I looked down at my shoes.“I wanted to say I’m sorry,” I said quickly. “For how I left. I wasn’t trying to cause problems.”Kael tilted his head. “You didn’t do anything wrong, Zoey.”I looked up at him. “But—”He cut me off gently. “Seriously. You were going through something. Anyone could see that.”His voice was calm. Kind. Just like always.Still, I wasn’t myself the last time I was here. I’d messed up a simple order, and the staff’s yelling had pushed me over the edge.

My mother made sure everything looked perfect—like a royal wedding should.And yet, I stood in my chambers, staring at my reflection with no excitement in my chest.I looked like a groom. Dressed in an embroidered black robe, trimmed with silver. My hair was neatly tied back, my jaw cleanly shaven. Everything about me was prepared to look like I was happy. But I wasn’t.There was a knock at the door, then Darian strolled in without waiting for permission. Typical.“You look like you’re about to attend a funeral,” he said, walking straight to the window.I didn’t answer.He turned around and smirked. “You know most people smile on their wedding day.”I gave him a dry look. “Do I l

My hand pressed against my chest, right where my heart should be steady—but it was pounding.The door burst open.Kael ran in wearing a shirt that looked like he’d just thrown it on halfway down the hall. His eyes were wide with worry.“Zoey! What’s wrong?” he said, rushing to my side.I couldn’t even speak. My throat felt like it was closing up. I just shook my head and held my chest, the pain still there, dull but steady. Almost like something had been taken away from me.“I don’t know—I just—I felt something,” I whispered.Kael sat on the edge of the bed and reached for my hand. “You’re shaking.”“I know.”“Was it a nightmare?”“No,” I said quickly. “It wasn’t a dream.

I was getting closer to the time I would give birth—just two months to go. Kael wouldn’t let me lift a finger anymore. He said I needed to rest, that the baby needed calmness. I didn’t argue. Truthfully, I was tired all the time.My world had grown small, but peaceful. I had my own little garden out by the corner of the west wing. Kael gave me the space and even brought flowers from the market so I could plant them. Every morning, I would go out there, barefoot on the grass, breathing in the scent of fresh earth. It reminded me of who I used to be—just a quiet wolf girl who loved green things.Kael and I had gotten closer too. We weren’t formal anymore. There were no stiff greetings or awkward silences.

Now.”I stood up slowly. “Why? What’s going on?”He didn’t answer right away. He was already pulling out a few of my clothes and stuffing them into a small suitcase like time was running out.“Kael!” I shouted. “You’re scaring me. What happened?”His assistant, Margo, ran into the room just then. “Alpha Kael, please calm down. She’s a pregnant lady. You can’t be throwing things around like this.”Kael took a deep breath and stepped back. His hands were still shaking. “Sorry,” he muttered. Then he turned to me. “Just trust me, okay?

Not tonight. “I just want to hold you,” she whispered.I shifted away. “I’m tired,” I said, voice low and distant.She sat up. “Tired? Or is it something else? You barely looking at me, Lyon. What’s going on?”“Nothing,” I answered, standing up and grabbing my robe. “Go to bed.”Before she could say more, I left the room.The hallway was quiet. My bare feet brushed against the cold floor as I walked slowly. My eyes fell on a room at the end—the room that used to be Zoey’s.I stopped. Something tugged at my chest.I reached for the doorknob and turned it. The room creaked open.But it wasn’t hers anymore.It had been turned into a storage space. Boxes were piled up. Old furniture and paintings leaned against the wall. Everything that once smelled like Zoey was gone. Her scent, her touch, her little things—gone.I closed the door quietly.

I blinked a few more times before the ceiling came into focus. I wasn’t in the wardrobe anymore. I was in bed. Soft covers were pulled up to my chest, and the room was calm.Kael sat in the chair beside me, his brows furrowed, eyes tired.He looked like he hadn’t slept.“You’re awake,” he said quietly.I tried to sit up, but my body wouldn’t move as fast as I wanted.Kael leaned in and gently helped adjust the pillows behind me.“Are you okay?” he asked.I nodded slowly, but he didn’t look convinced. His jaw was tight. His hands rested on his knees, clenched.“I thought something happened to you, Zoey. You locked your doors. Your windows. I had to call the hotel’s security system to unlock your room. I found you unconscious in the wardrobe.” His voice cracked a little. “You scared the hell out of me.”“I’m sorry,” I whispered.His eyes searched min

Only for a second. Maybe even less. But that was all I needed.She was alive.I tried to go up there. I really did.The moment our eyes met, I pushed through the crowd of guests and made my way to the edge of the ballroom, where the hallway opened to the elevators. I told the security I needed to go up. I even told them I left something up there. They didn’t budge.“Sorry, Alpha, but access is only granted for event areas tonight. We can’t allow guests to wander into other hotel wings.”I wanted to break through them. I almost did.But I stopped.Not because I didn’t want to cause a scene, but because Serena had already started one.“Lyon!” she yelled from across the hallway, storming up to me in her heel
