THE IMPOSSIBLE TRUTH

RORY’S POV

Ayla’s gaze sharpened as she took another slow step toward me. Her expression was unreadable, but something in her eyes made my stomach twist.

“The heartbeat…” she murmured, listening intently.

I swallowed. “What about it?”

She moved closer, tilting her head as if focusing. Then, without warning, she pressed a hand lightly against my stomach.

The moment she did, her breath hitched. Her eyes widened.

“It’s louder here,” she whispered.

A strange shiver ran down my spine. “What are you saying?”

Ayla lifted her gaze to mine, something unreadable flickering across her face. Then she said the words that made my blood run cold—

“Rory… you’re pregnant.”

The ground beneath me seemed to shift.

I stumbled back, shaking my head. “No.” My voice was barely there.

Ayla’s brows furrowed. “The heartbeat—it doesn’t sound like a wolf’s.” She hesitated, then added, “It sounds… human.”

A sharp breath left me. My entire body went rigid.

Human.

Ayla studied me for a long mome

    DANGEROUS:“You can excuse yourself now,” Renzo said to Mira, his tone calm, but his eyes gleaming with something unreadable.Mira smirked, stretching like a satisfied cat before slipping off the bed. She didn’t bother covering herself as she walked past me, her bare skin brushing against my arm. I clenched my fists.Renzo leaned back against the headboard, watching me with dark amusement. “Came to watch?”I forced my face to remain blank. “You ordered my things to be moved next to your chambers. And you’re letting my sister stay here?” I let out a dry laugh. “Thanks, but I don’t want to live next to you. I’m fine where I am.”His expression didn’t change. “It’s an order, not a request. Do as you’re told.”I lifted my chin. “I get to decide where I—”“It’s an order!”His voice cracked through the room like a whip.I flinched, a shiver running down my spine before I could stop it. The air between us was thick, suffocating. My heart pounded, but I swallowed down the lump in my throat.I

Then something else—something deeper. His grip on me softened, but his whole body went rigid, like he was trying to hold himself together.“For me?” His voice was barely above a whisper, yet it carried so much weight.“Yes,” I breathed.A shuddering exhale left his lips. He lifted a hand, hesitated, then gently placed it over my stomach. His touch was warm, grounding. A thousand emotions flickered through his gaze—disbelief, fear, something dangerously close to hope.“I thought…” He trailed off, shaking his head. “I thought I lost you.”I looked away. “You almost did.”Silence. Thick, suffocating.Then, his voice dropped to a low whisper. “He doesn’t know?”“No.”His jaw tightened. “Good.”I frowned. “Ryker—”“I won’t let him take this from me. From us.”The convicti

For a moment, I thought he might explode, but instead, he exhaled through his nose, stepping back like he was forcing himself to stay in control.“You’re getting rid of it.”My stomach dropped. I stiffened. “What?”His gaze was cold, unyielding. “You heard me.”“No,” I said, my voice shaking but firm. “I won’t.”His jaw clenched. The silence between us stretched, thick and suffocating. Then he spoke, his voice lower this time.“If the council finds out…” He exhaled sharply, raking a hand through his hair. “My kingdom will be at risk.” His eyes flickered with something dangerous—something close to desperation. “Alpha Renzo's mate carrying a human’s child? Do you know what that means?”I said not

The room smelled of herbs and something stronger—Renzo.He was sitting beside the bed, watching me. His expression unreadable, but his eyes… dark, calculating.“You are not dead. I wish you were.”His voice was quiet, almost thoughtful, as if he were considering it. Then he leaned in, pressing a kiss against my hand. A mockery of tenderness.I jerked my hand away, my heart pounding. “Then why save me?”He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he picked up a cup from the nightstand and held it out to me. “Drink.”I hesitated, but my throat was dry, and I needed strength. I gulped it down, the liquid thick and bitter.Renzo stood, his silhouette blocking the dim torchlight. “Your wolf is not a fighter,” he said. “Only a healer.” He scoffed, shaking his head. “Weak.”I clenched my fists. “Why save me, then?

The pain was unbearable.He stepped forward, a strange smile playing on his lips."I will gladly help you," he said.Before I could react, he lifted me and placed me on a chair. His gaze dropped to my legs, and when he saw the blood, he let out a dramatic gasp."You’re losing a child.""No… no…" My breath hitched, panic choking me.He smirked. "It’s okay. You’ll make more."With a casual ease, he wiped the blood away, as if it meant nothing."Who… who are you?" My voice was barely a whisper."You’ll get to know soon enough."His grip tightened slightly. "But first, you need to wash the blood off."Without another word, he picked me up again, carrying me to Renzo’s bathroom. He set me down, then turned and walked out, leaving me trembling in silence.And just a few minutes later, I heard it—growls, snarls, the crash of furniture breaking.

    CHAPTER 30 The Challenge RENZO'S POV The night air was thick with tension. Every werewolf in the pack stood gathered in the clearing, their faces drawn with unease. The torches flickered, casting restless shadows over the assembled crowd. Zike stood at the center, shoulders squared, his gaze sweeping over them like he already owned them. "Our land is threatened," he declared, his voice ringing through the air. "Renzo can no longer protect us!" A murmur of agreement rippled through the pack. I clenched my jaw. "And you can?" I stepped forward, my voice steady. Zike smirked. "At least I won’t let our enemies walk right in. Or have you forgotten? The vampires came because of you." A growl rose from the crowd. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, ready to strike. "Watch your tongue, Zike," I warned. "You speak of betrayal, yet it was the witch who revealed the truth—you let them in." Zike’s expression didn’t falter. "Lies. I would never endanger my own pack." I glanced at Rory. Sh

Elara wasn’t in the room. I could hear Renzo humming softly from his chambers—calm, at ease, as if he hadn’t just tried to break me.A pang of something sharp twisted inside me. I shouldn’t let him control me. And yet, no matter how hard I tried, my wolf refused to obey me. She craved something I refused to name.I needed to clear my head.Pulling my cloak tighter, I wandered through the dimly lit halls until I reached the study.Inside, Ayla sat with Zike. She was laughing at something he said, her expression light and carefree. For a moment, I hesitated. It was rare to see Ayla so happy.Still, I stepped forward.“Hi,” I greeted, my voice careful.Zike’s expression soured instantly. He leaned back in his chair, regarding me with open distaste. “You should excuse yourself. This is a family di
