MaliaI knew Jaden wasn't doing well at all, so I wanted him to feel loved and complete now. I placed my hands on his shoulder and massaged it.Jaden was sitting at the edge of the bed, eyes closed and arms tense. How long had it been since we just spent time together, just for the sake of it? It's been so long that we've only lived for wars and thinking about others. Gosh, how hard this is!"Love," I called, making him look at me. "I think we should take a few days just for us. You know, to relax. I think you need it."He exhaled and turned, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me to sit on his lap."I don't think it's the right time to leave the pack. A lot has happened recently, and we need unity with our members more than ever," he said, bringing the back of my hand to his lips and kissing it lightly. "I know you just want what's best for me, but we're the alpha royalty, love, and we need to be here.""I understand," I said, resting my head on his shoulder. "Well, there's
“First, we need to see how the baby is," Jaden says after swallowing all the bread that was stuffed in his mouth."Tomorrow, Jaden," I roll my eyes."No, not really," he huffs. "The doctor will definitely be available to see you. I can't let you transform and risk hurting the baby.""Jaden, Fawn would never hurt our little one," I frown, feeling really upset now."I know she wouldn't, I'm not saying that, it's just that..." He starts to speak, but I interrupt him, quickly standing up from the chair."No, Jaden. I don't want to hear it, okay? I understand your concerns, but Fawn and I would never do anything that could hurt my child. Mark is as lethal to him as she is, and yet I'm not saying you could kill him." I huff, leaving everyone at the table, stomping away.The deafening silence unsettles me a bit. I didn't mean to say Mark was a danger, but I want him to feel the same way Fawn and I felt when he said she could hurt the baby.When I get outside, I walk to the small swing hanging
69 # The Beloved LunaI was blinking, still in disbelief. I mean, I was holding the picture with the three tiny babies like little dots in my belly—but still, they were big and healthy."Congratulations," Dr. Smith said, smiling. "Three babies, huh? Alpha, if it's up to you two, we'll have a long lineage," he joked."Could this... bring any risk to Malia?" he asked after a while."Well, according to the tests..." He analyzed everything carefully, adopting a serious posture now. "Luna is lacking some vitamins and iron, so we'll supplement with these capsules," he said, while opening a drawer beside him and taking out two packs of pills. "These are the vitamins. They should be taken once a day, preferably in the morning. This one here is ferrous sulfate," he pointed to the second one. "It will provide iron and help with absorption as well. You should take it an hour before any meal. Also, I think you should eat iron-rich meals like beans and green vegetables, anyway..." He looked at me
68 - Important MeetingFor some reason, I was much more nervous than I could have imagined. Even though my relationship with Fawn had improved immensely, I was still very afraid of how this would end.I opened the front door, walked in, and sat in the armchair placed there, while all the others — older men, specifically elders — sat in groups."Good morning, gentlemen," Jaden said, sitting calmly in front of them."Good morning," I said, timidly.I was still a bit afraid of all these men. I mean, why did they have to look so intimidating?"Good morning, Alpha and Luna," one of them said, smiling openly at us. "Finally, things have calmed down for you, and now we can deal with a new matter: whether or not you two are the High Alpha.""What is a High Alpha?" I asked, furrowing my brow."A High Alpha is simply a supreme Alpha. The Alpha of all Alphas. If you are indeed what we think you are, you will have power over all the nations," he explained, pacing back and forth. "A supreme Alpha h

**2 months later.**I was so happy and doing well. I mean, in a few days, we were going to one of the most important moments of our lives.As proven Alpha Supremes, we had to attend a kind of annual convention — which I would personally attend. Everyone else would have to present their points and decide whether to accept or not.Those who didn't accept would be left out of the alliance, and little was known about what would happen to them. Generally, those left out were always weaker in terms of strength. They ended up being more vulnerable in wars because they lacked the support of other packs, and the stronger ones always joined together.Anyway, I had been completely ignoring all of this. I had been ignoring the whole story while falling even more in love with my growing belly and my babies, who were already starting to move inside me. So beautiful. All three of them.I shifted in bed as I got up. I looked at myself in the mirror, wearing a t-shirt and lace panties, feeling like the
Dandara is beautiful. Her striking green eyes, fair skin, naturally rosy and chubby cheeks, and shiny blonde hair.I smile as I watch her eagerly suck on the bottle. My concern grows even more when I wonder if she's been eating properly.If I understood correctly, she's running away from her mate and didn't want our help — which leads me to the question, is she telling the truth? Did she just not want to leave the baby behind after everything?I sigh, alone in my room, sitting on that very comfortable couch. Lilith had to go out to take care of some important matters related to her wedding, and I decided to ask a few omegas to buy hygiene items for the baby.Of course, I wouldn’t hide her true origins. I wouldn’t turn this into an unnecessary snowball. She would be my niece, and I’m sure we would love her very much, but lying and saying she was born first and was my family’s firstborn would make my real son lose his rightful place — and I didn’t want history to cruelly repeat itself.I
4 Years Later..."Dandara," I grumbled, gently pushing her away from little Tity, our pet cat. "Let him be! He wants to go out.""But uncle, I love him so much, I want him to stay with me," she pouted."I understand, but it's not possible, okay?" I raised my eyebrows as I opened the front door for Tity to hop into the garden. She pouted again, sighed heavily, and stared at me, blinking."Where's Aunt Malia?" She asked, turning her head towards me."In Luna's office," I smiled faintly at her, tousling her hair."Okay," she said, running upstairs. I watched her with a small smile.Dandara was growing into a beautiful little girl. Besides a wonderful upbringing, of course. She's kind and loving, especially towards animals—although sometimes her passion makes her a bit too clingy, much to Tity's dismay.She was already four years old. Malia and I never hid who we really were from her. We always made it clear that we were her aunt and uncle so she wouldn't be even more shocked when she foun
20 YEARS LATER“Darling?” I called as I opened Jaden’s office door.“Beautiful.” He smiled warmly at me. “What do you need?”“Nothing,” I murmured, smiling back. “I just missed you.”“Well, lucky for you, I’m finishing up my work now,” he said, grumbling.“Well, even if you hadn’t finished, I would have insisted you stop.” I said, leaning over his office chair. His hands moved to my hips, pulling me closer.His lips met mine, and he drew me in, guiding my legs to either side of his hips. For the past 20 years, Jaden and I couldn’t keep our hands off each other. It was almost as if our bond was continually renewing itself, which was pretty incredible.Our kisses deepened, and he stood up from the chair with me still wrapped around him, placing me on top of his desk. Jaden's fingers traced every inch of my body.“Jaden, we’re running late,” I murmured, feeling him plant kisses all over my neck and chest.“No one will mind, Malia,” he whispered, as I dug my nails into his shoulders.Jade
Two months later…The pain overwhelmed me completely. It was early morning, and I groaned as I got up and placed my feet on the cold floor of my room.“It’s time, Malia,” Fawn said in my head.“Oh my God. Not again,” I groaned.“This time, with just one baby, we can have a natural birth,” Fawn said, excited.“Oh, no! It… it must hurt,” I whimpered.“Malia, we’re strong, dear,” she winked at me. “We’ll manage. We always do. Look at everything we’ve been through,” she sighed.I nodded as another wave of pain hit me, and I groaned while getting out of bed to try and go to the bathroom, only to find water running down my legs and dripping onto the floor.Jaden jumped up, startled, and turned on the bedside lamp. “W-what?” He seemed to be trying to process what was happening.“Dear, I’m in labor,” I said, biting my cheek.“We need to go to the hospital,” he said, jumping out of bed and searching for things I didn’t understand.“Call the doctor, Jaden,” I grumbled. “And your mother. Call bo
I frowned, my gaze shifting between the two women. Sophie’s eyes were downcast, her hands trembling slightly as she kept them clasped. I had never seen her like this before — so vulnerable, so frightened. A shiver ran down my spine.“What’s going on?” I asked, my tone now more serious. “Is something wrong?”Sophie finally raised her head, her eyes meeting mine. They were filled with so much emotion — fear, hope, regret. It was as if she was carrying a weight that was crushing her from within.“Jaden,” she whispered, her voice wavering. “There’s something you need to know… something I should have told you a long time ago.”My heart began to race. Malia squeezed my hand gently, a gesture of support, but I could see the concern in her eyes too. Okay, something was starting to feel very wrong here.“Just tell me,” I urged, trying to keep my voice steady. “What is it?”Sophie took a deep breath, her chest heaving as if she was about to dive into the deepest, darkest part of the ocean. “I…
I was determined. Today would be the day I would reveal everything to everyone. Finally, Jaden would know that Sophie was his biological mother, the one who had been prevented from raising him due to the cruelty of others.When Sophie entered the room to bring my breakfast, she looked as calm and composed as ever. She walked in with a tray and a smile on her face, but there was something in her eyes that made me feel it was the right moment."Good morning, Queen Malia," Sophie said, placing the tray on the table beside the bed. "As always, I prepared your coffee myself.""Good morning, Sophie," I replied, watching her closely. "Actually, I need to talk to you about something very important."Sophie raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised, and sat on the edge of the bed. "What happened? It sounds serious.""It is serious," I confirmed, looking at her firmly.I hesitated for a moment, trying to find the right words to express my discovery. Like it or not, it was something serious to share,
I woke up with the weak afternoon sun filtering through the curtains, feeling a restless sleep overtaking me. I barely noticed when I fell asleep. The time seemed to drag on throughout the afternoon, and every minute I waited for the results was a torment. I looked at Jaden, who was still sleeping peacefully beside me, and carefully got up to avoid waking him. I dressed quickly before anyone could appear and left my room, checking to make sure I was alone. I descended the castle’s corridors, my heart racing with each step toward the doctor’s office. Each footfall seemed to echo in my chest, reflecting the mix of anxiety and hope I felt. The need for confirmation and the fear of facing a painful truth was almost paralyzing. When I finally reached the doctor’s office door, I knocked softly and entered as soon as he gave a brief “come in.” He was sitting at his desk with a grave expression, which instantly sent a shiver down my spine. “Majesty, the results are ready,” he said, his
"Why do you want to know about my mother?" he asks, his eyes dropping to me with a gleam. "She died, as you know, and—" "No, dear. Your real mother. Didn't your father tell you about her?" I ask. "Oh, that..." He clears his throat and looks at the ceiling. "Dad didn’t give me any photos or descriptions. But he said her name was Sophie, that she lived in our pack, but they were forbidden to live their love after they turned eighteen, when they hadn’t discovered they were mates." He pauses slightly, my eyes widening with each new piece of information. "So, my grandfather took my mother away. They reunited sometime later and spent one night together, making love. The next day, my father found his true mate, and my mother completely disappeared again. Dad tried to move on with his bond, but a year later, when I was only three months old, my mother showed up at his door, begging him to raise me." "What do you mean?" I frown. "Why?" "My mother had a cruel mate, love." His fingers twi
Soph had a mother’s love. She took care of me with a tenderness I had only experienced in my childhood. Now, after my bath, I'm finishing my chicken sandwich while she brushes my hair in front of the mirror in my room.“You have beautiful hair,” she says, gently pulling it back to keep it from falling into my face.“Thank you,” I smile. “So, is the weather here always like this? Does it change so quickly?”“Ever since I got here, yes.” She nods.“So, you’re not from around here?” I ask, surprised.“No,” she laughs. “I’m from the other side.”“Where from?” I ask.“Well…” She clears her throat. “I think this is the only place I’ve really put down roots. I used to travel a lot,” she stammers a bit.“That must have been hard to do with a child,” I murmur.“Actually, no.” Her cheeks flush a little. “I did it alone. Reuniting with my son felt like receiving a gift from the goddess.”“That’s so touching,” my eyes sparkle. “Why did you leave him?”“Oh, I had a problem with my mate, who wasn’t
The days have been almost all the same. I think the pregnancy has made me slower and sleepier, so by the time I wake up, Jaden has already left to start his work as king.I know he's trying to protect me because of the baby, but I want to help while I still can since, during my postpartum recovery, it will be impossible to do much. Besides, we'll have a newborn to take care of.A week ago, we found out that I'm pregnant with a boy. He’s huge, a bit bigger than the twins were, since he doesn’t have to share the womb with anyone else. I can already imagine that he’ll be a big, strong man when he grows up.I sighed as I placed my feet on the cold floor of my room and shivered. A cold front had arrived in the city, and I couldn’t quite handle it. I discovered that the climate here is much milder than in my old pack — which is several miles away from here.I was wrapped in one of Jaden’s hoodies, which was several sizes too big and reached halfway down my thighs, along with a pair of my sw
I smiled widely when I saw Jaden. I walked over to him and gently threw myself into his arms. “Hi, dear. How was your day?”“Good,” I murmured. “But it's even better to be home.”The clock on the nightstand read 7:30 PM, which meant we had spent much more time out than we had planned. Anyway, today had been wonderful, and I felt more connected to the culture of the country.“And how was it here?” I asked, looking up at him.“Tiring,” he said, brushing a strand of my hair from my eyes.“You know you can always call on me for support,” I murmured. “I also have responsibilities in this pack.”“For now, you’re busy producing organs and tissues; I think you can take a break for a while,” he joked, and I laughed, rolling my eyes.“I still want to see the kids before dinner,” I said.“I stopped by earlier; they were in the bath, and I decided not to disturb them,” he murmured. “I was waiting for you.”I smiled at him, leaning in for a chaste kiss. As we embraced, I heard the children’s loud,
