"Madison is pregnant. And she says that…that you are the father of her child." Time seemed to stand still as Dominic let out a heavy sigh, his expression shifting to one of cold indifference. "Yes, it's true," he stated flatly. "If Madison is with child, then I am the father." The words cycled my brain like the world’s most horrifying mantra, shattering the delicate surface of the life we had built together. "How could you do this to me? To us?" I cried, hot tears streaming down my cheeks. *** Selena Valeria Winters has been the wife of Alpha Dominic, the Alpha of the Knightstorm Pack, for eight years. They had it all when they combined their packs together and were blessed with three beautiful daughters. Though they were happy, there was a problem: Selena was unable to provide him with an heir. Everything changes when Selena finds out that her husband, a once caring and cherishing Alpha, has taken someone else as a mistress and has gotten her pregnant. Hurt and betrayed, she asks for a divorce, but instead, she is treated as a prisoner in her own pack. In the heat of it all, Selena manages to escape with her daughters, without Dominic knowing that she is pregnant with his child. Five years later, Selena appears in the Knightstorm Pack again, but this time it’s because of a life-and-death situation. So, she has to face the man who betrayed her and those feelings again while trying to survive at the same time. Alpha Dominic has no idea that she bore a child in secret, but he wants Selena and their daughters back. Will Selena accept the Alpha back and return to the life she once fled?

The morning sun streamed through my bedroom window, bathing the lavish room in a warm, orange light. My hand instinctively reached across the large surface of the bed, only to be met with cold, empty sheets. A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I was once again reminded of my husband's prolonged absences. For the past two months, Alpha Dominic had been away on what he claimed were endless "business trips." I tried to control the growing anger, reminding myself that he was doing what was necessary to provide for our family. And yet, a part of me couldn't help but wonder if there was more to his frequent departures. Shaking off the thought, I rose from the bed and made my way towards the door. As I climbed down the grand staircase that led to the living room. The hushed whispers of the maids caught my attention. Pausing to listen, I felt fear and anger flaring in my chest. "I heard Alpha Dominic wasn't on a business trip at all," one of the servants murmured. "My man said he saw him at a Moonlight hotel the other day, kissing some woman, but he couldn’t see her face because of the angle." The other maid fussed sympathetically. "Poor Luna, she works so hard, thinking the Alpha has gone on a business trip, not knowing he was out there having the time of his life with another woman. Alpha males are something else, they just can’t stick to one she-wolf." Fury flared in my chest, and I turned on the startled servants. "That's enough!" I snapped, my voice echoing through the walls. "How dare you, good for nothing, maids, gossip about your Alpha like that? Do you have any idea what I could do to you?" The maids trembled, bowing their heads in shame. "W-We are so sorry, Luna," they mumbled. "It won't happen again." Biting back a mocking reply, I strolled towards the kitchen, my thirst forgotten. But as I walked past my children's room, the sound of high-pitched screaming froze me in my tracks. Bursting through the door, I found my two youngest daughters, Lily and Rose, entangled in a serious tug-of-war over a doll. The eldest, Anna, was courageously attempting to separate them but to no avail. "Girls, stop fighting!" I yelled, rushing to intervene. "Rose, you are too old to be fighting over toys with your younger sister. When there are countless toys in this room." "But this Barbie doll is my favorite out of all of them! I can’t let her have it!" Rose replied through clenched teeth. But as I stepped forward, my foot caught on a naughty throw pillow, and the world tilted sideways. With a heavy thud, I fell to the hard floor, my daughters' terrified screams the last thing I heard before darkness claimed me. *** When I opened my eyes, my daughters were gathered anxiously around my bedside, tears streaking their cheeks. The elderly pack doctor stood at the foot of the bed, his expression unreadable. "What happened?" I rasped, feeling a light headache coming on. "We are sorry, mom, we won’t fight anymore, I promise. I already gave Lily the doll she wanted, please don’t fall sick." Rose pleaded, gesturing towards the doll in her little sister’s hand. The doctor stepped forward, clearing his throat. "Um, it’s not your daughters' fault, Luna, there is another reason you fainted." He paused, glancing at the girls. "I think it’s best we speak privately." Anna tossed me a bright smile and grabbed her sister’s hands, tugging them out of the clinic room, although Lily burst into tears. I braced myself, praying that I didn’t have some terminal illness. But no amount of steeling myself could blunt the impact of his next words. "Congratulations, Luna. You are 12 weeks pregnant." He beamed, handing me the test results. I stared at him in utter shock, my fingers clutching the medical report like a lifeline. "P-Pregnant?" I stuttered, unable to register the words. "That can’t be right. My youngest is only two. There must be some mistake, I can’t be pregnant again, please tell me this is a joke." The doctor shook his head solemnly. "Just to be sure, I ran the test multiple times and double-checked the results. You are with a child, which is a good thing considering how much the Alpha loves children." My heart pounded louder. I searched his face for any sign that he was joking, but there was none. "But…" I faltered, my voice barely a whisper. "We weren’t supposed to have another... Not now, I was the one who wanted to give the Alpha a male child so badly, but he has made it clear that that doesn’t matter as long as we love each other and have beautiful girls." My throat tightened as the whispered rumors of the pack members came rushing back—that Dominic was using me as a "baby-making machine" in search of an heir. I forced myself to meet the doctor's gaze. "I can’t keep this child." My voice trembled, but I steadied myself. "You have to help me... get rid of it, I am asking you as a woman, not as your Luna." The doctor stepped back, his eyes wide. "Luna, that’s not something I can do. Terminating a pregnancy, especially a royal bloodline, would be a sin against the moon goddess. Your husband would rip off my head and feed it to the wild wolves.” His voice trailed off, and he continued. "It’s not possible, I am sorry." My anger bounced off the marble with teeth-rattling volume, and I lashed out. "Then get out of my sight!" I hissed, watching as the nervous man gathered his belongings and fled the room. Alone now, I shoved the blanket off my body and jumped down the bed on shaky legs. My mind was spinning with a million thoughts. Where was my husband? He should be here by now, fussing over my condition, had he not arrived? Feeling a trace of lightheadedness, I stepped out into the softly lit corridor, my gaze sweeping the area. A group of warriors stood huddled together, their hushed voices hinting at my husband's return. Pushing aside the haunting worries, I made my way towards Dominic's office, my wolf Lena howling with unbridled excitement. "We get to see our mate after so long!" she yelled, like a child. "We can kiss and cuddle him, how I miss the good old days!" "I know, I have missed him too," I replied softly, a fond smile tugging at my lips. But as I approached the office door, the guards stopped me, their expressions serious. "What do you want, Luna?" one asked gruffly. I pinned him with a crushing glare. "Who are you to question why I wish to see my own husband?" Before he could respond, I shoved past him, grasping the ornate doorknob and pushing the door open. There, seated behind his grand reddish-brown desk, sat Dominic, his muscular body draped casually across the chair as he spoke into the phone in his ear. My breath caught in my throat as I drank in the sight of him—the way the sunlight filtered through the window, setting his golden blonde hair afire, the piercing intensity of his ocean-blue eyes. Even after eight years of marriage, he still had the power to steal my breath away. But my excitement quickly morphed into anger as I approached the desk, his gaze flickering to meet mine. Ending the call, he offered me an apologetic smile. "Mrs. Cuddles," he murmured, using the pet name that never failed to make my heart flutter. "I'm sorry I haven't come to check on you. I was trying to solve a problem at the coal factory." "What could be more important than me?" I shot back, my voice filled with hurt. Steeling my nerves, I stepped forward. "I have something very important to tell you too." Reaching out, he tugged me into his lap, his warm hands sending tingles down my spine. "What is it, my love?" I took a steady breath, unsure of how he would react to my news. But before I could speak, a loud thud jolted us both, and we turned to see a young maid collapsed unconscious in the open doorway. "Maddy!" I cried, leaping from Dominic's hold and rushing to the girl's side. Dominic was close on my heels, his brow furrowed with concern. Kneeling beside her almost lifeless body, I gently shook her shoulder, my heart pounding. What could have caused her to faint so abruptly? Fear coiled in my stomach as a thousand worst-case scenarios played out in my mind. Dominic's strong arms encircled me, his voice low and soothing. "Shhh, she will be alright. Let's get her to the infirmary." Nodding mutely, I allowed him to scoop Madison into his hold, my gaze never leaving her pale, lifeless face.Selena’s POV "Hello?" I managed to say, my voice tight as I pressed the phone to my ear. A volcanic eruption of fury blasted through the speaker. "What kind of mother are you?!" I flinched, pulling the phone away for a moment, and I could still hear the angry voice of the person before putting the phone back to my ear. "You have to calm down. I can barely hear a word you are saying. Whoever you are, tell me what’s wrong. Is J okay?” My heart took off like a kite in a windstorm. The voice, gruff and impatient, barked back, "This is the doctor in charge of his treatment speaking. Call me Charlie. You haven’t been here in over a week, and your son is awake now, he is asking for his mother. I have been practically raising him myself! I almost called the child protective services of the pack to take him. I thought you had abandoned him because no one was picking up the damn phone!” "Stop!" I cut him off, unable to keep up with his rants. "I will be there in a few minutes, feel free
Selena’s POV Disgust twisted my face as Dominic's warriors dragged the white casket, containing Flynn's dead wife, to the middle of the room, placing it on the floor beside me. The sight of it sent goosebumps down my spine, and I averted my gaze, trying not to think about the lifeless body contained inside. A tiny whimper echoed through the room, and I turned to see a warrior dragging Flynn’s son down the staircase, treating him like a common criminal. My heart ricocheted at the sight; what lengths would Dominic stoop to in his merciless hunt for power? The warrior shoved the boy, a mini version of Flynn, onto the main floor. The little one's legs shook in fear, and he cried out, “Daddy!” desperate to reach Flynn, who was still pinned to the ground. The henchman, however, tightened his grip on the boy's collar, preventing him from moving. Tears glistened in his eyes as he struggled, extending his hands toward his father. My heart went out to him. Alpha Dominic strode acro
Selena’s POV I watched as the color drained from Dominic’s eyes, an emptiness replacing the passion I had come to expect. He staggered backward, clutching at his chest, the gesture revealing a vulnerability that crushed my heart. Despite the anger and resentment that festered between us, a tiny bit of empathy coursed through me. Fighting the ache of our broken bond, I forced myself to remain indifferent, refusing to show him the pain my rejection also inflicted on me. "Accept it, Dominic," I snapped, my voice filled with a coldness I didn’t feel. "It's over, we are no longer bound to each other. you have to move on." His pupils flared, a sparkle of yellow betraying the beast inside as he struggled to maintain control. "I won’t accept it," he growled, his voice raw and loaded with emotion. "I'm an alpha male! A common woman like you has no right to reject me, only I have the right to reject you, not the other way around!" Shaking my head, I had no regret whatsoever. He was di
Selena’s POV My vision began to contract into a narrow tunnel, and a huge weight was crushing my heart. I couldn’t breathe; I couldn’t move. “Sel…Sel,” Lena’s voice pierced through the invading darkness. “You are wasting your time with him, he is not hearing a word you are saying. He is lost in his grief, he just lost his mate.” A cartwheel of confused thoughts and feelings assailed me. “…We need to get out of here. Can you take over? Maybe we will be able to fight him off in our wolf form.” Lena’s voice grew stronger, a rush of power flowing through me. “We can’t… He is an alpha wolf, our wolf doesn’t stand a chance against him. I have already called Dominic. He should be here any minute now.” Choking back a whimper, I mentally protested, “Why did you have to call that asshole? What makes you think he would come to our rescue after everything I just said to him?” “Even though you are divorced, he is still our mate,” Lena replied, her voice lacking its usual fire. “He can
Selena’s POV Dominic tossed me a suspicious glance, his blue eyes narrowed as if searching for hidden dangers. He reached behind me, and I flinched, my breath catching in my throat as he came closer. I closed my eyes, bracing myself, fearing he would discover Flynn inside. But instead, I felt a tug at my scalp, a sharp pain as strands of hair were pulled free. My eyes snapped open to see Dominic standing over me, his slender fingers tangled in my blonde hair. “This doesn’t suit you,” he commented, his voice low and husky. “I liked the brunette better. Did my brother talk you into this? just so you could look like his type?” I met his gaze, my expression hardening, determined not to let him see the effect he still had on me. Yanking my hair out of his grasp, I asked sharply, "What do you want, huh? Why are you all up in my business? We are not together anymore, and I don't owe you any explanations." He chuckled, shoving his hands into his pockets, and took a few steps back. “
Selena’s POV Alpha Flynn’s strong hands snaked around my throat, cutting off my oxygen supply, and he shoved me backward until my head slammed against the wall. My vision distorted, and I gasped for breath, my hands instinctively clawing at his grip. His face was a mask of rage, his eyes glowing a disturbing yellow, the wolf inside him barely contained. "What didn't you tell me? That you were my brother's ex-wife?!" he thundered, his saliva hitting my face as he leaned in, his anger intense. I choked, desperately trying to speak, but his grip was too tight. Hot tears streamed down my cheeks as I struggled to breathe, fear hitting me in the belly. I had made a mistake, a terrible, life-threatening mistake. "Give me a reason not to kill you right here, right now," he growled, his voice making me shiver. Clutching at his rough hand, I managed to cry, "It…it wasn't my intention. I never knew he was your brother! I didn't even know he had a brother! I just found out about it. The
Alpha Dominic’s POV A cold sweat broke over my body, the Flynn’s words cycled through my brain like the world’s most horrifying mantra; it felt like there were a thousand bees in my head. I couldn’t move; I couldn’t breathe. My hands trembled as I reached for the documents, snatching them from Flynn's grip. My gaze darted across the official seal, their names inscribed in bold print: Flynn Evan Winters and Selena Valeria Winters. My stomach somersaulted as I noticed a second document changing my daughters' father’s name, officially claiming them as his own. Embers of anger glowed in my stomach, but they were quickly extinguished by the cold pain that settled in my chest. He snatched the documents back, a victorious smirk curving his lips. "Enough! I hope that’s enough proof to convince you. Selena is my wife and not yours, although I have no idea why you would think she was your wife in the first place." My gaze drifted to my daughters, their eyes covered by Selena’s protect
Alpha Dominic’s POV I kicked open the door of the jeep, the sound echoing through the crunchy night air as I stepped out, carrying my nephew in my arms. The beautiful moonlight illuminated the packhouse courtyard, making it as bright as day. A small frown touched my face, the weight of what had just happened pressing down on me. As I moved toward the main door, my newly appointed beta, Marcus, came running toward me, his walk clumsy with haste. “Hey, slow down, Marcus; you are not a child,” I snapped, the annoyance simmering beneath my words. He stopped abruptly in front of me, his chest heaving as he struggled to catch his breath. “Alpha Dominic, m-my name is not Marcus, it’s Max. I can’t believe you still haven’t memorized my name yet. I am a little hurt.” I brushed off the slip of the tongue, my priorities elsewhere. “Take this child from me and put him in my room. Post some security outside the door; my brother will undoubtedly come for his son and wife, and I plan to be r
Selena’s POV Hot tears sprang to my eyes, threatening to spill over as I stood outside the hotel, phone clutched in my hand, desperately searching for a nearby, affordable motel to stay in. My daughters tugged at my dress, their voices a muted whine in the thousand thoughts consuming me. All our belongings were scattered on the ground, painful evidence of our terrible situation. We needed a place to stay, and fast. Abruptly, a powerful punch to my stomach snapped me back to reality. I turned to glare at Rose, my frustration exploding. “What’s your problem, young lady?!” She pointed with her chin. I followed her gaze, and my breath hitched in my throat. It was—it was Flynn. He looked different now, dressed immaculately in a black tuxedo, but the worry lines that creased between his brows told another story. He slammed the door of a taxi shut and began walking toward us. “Y-You came back,” I stuttered, the question filled with disbelief and a hint of confusion. “Why?” Withou
