Alexander’s POV

“Alexander, isn’t this great? Look at them—they’re all enjoying themselves. They look so happy at our dinner party!” Cassandra said, her voice high with excitement. Her bright smile barely hid the way her eyes sparkled with pride.

She had been saying similar things since the event began, often pulling me aside to gush about how perfect everything was. It was as if she had orchestrated every single detail for the benefit of the pack and to showcase our union. The guests, dressed in fine attire, mingled around the feast, laughing and enjoying the evening, but I felt none of the joy that she radiated.

Her words repeated in my ears, but my mind was elsewhere—on Aira.

I couldn’t stop thinking about her. My heart had not calmed since our last encounter. The way she had looked at me, almost as if she were hiding something.

The way she’d hesitated when I asked her questions, avoiding my gaze like she was trying to hold something back.

I had gone to visit her earlier, but as

    Aira’s POVI forced myself to keep moving despite the burning ache in my legs. Every step felt heavier, my breath coming out in ragged gasps. The abandoned road stretched endlessly ahead, and the darkness around us only made it worse.“W-where are we going?” I asked the maid, my voice barely above a whisper. I was struggling to keep up, my vision blurring slightly from exhaustion. But she didn’t answer right away. Instead, she glanced at me over her shoulder, her expression indecipherable, and then she shouted.“Just keep running!”I tried to push forward, but my legs wobbled beneath me. My entire body felt like it was shutting down, the weight of exhaustion pressing down on me. Panic gripped my chest as I instinctively placed a protective hand over my stomach. My baby. I wasn’t just running for myself—I was running for the life growing inside me. But I could feel it—I was reaching my limit. If I didn’t rest soon, I would collapse.“There!” she suddenly pointed, her finger jabbing th

    Aira’s POVThe air inside smelled of rust and dust, the remnants of a place was long forgotten. It was terrifyingly quiet, save for the sound of my own breath as I tried to steady myself. We'd been walking for what felt like hours, and though we were safe for now, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was watching us.I motioned for the maid to sit down as I pulled out the water I had stashed in my bag earlier.“Here, you can drink this.”She glanced up at me, her eyes unreadable as I handed her the water. She hesitated before taking it, her fingers brushing mine for the briefest of moments. There was a strange tension between us—one I couldn’t quite place, but I felt it, deep in my gut. After a long moment, she took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and drank deeply, not bothering with any formalities. The silence stretched on, thick and heavy.I watched her carefully as she set the water aside and began to pull off her jacket, revealing the worn-out shirt underneath. Her movemen

    Aira’s POVBut then, as the car continued down the winding road, I glanced into the rear-view mirror again. I froze. My heart stopped.“W-What the?!”There he was!I blinked, my mind was racing, trying to deny what my eyes were seeing. Alexander. He was following the car! He probably hadn’t seen me yet, but I knew for certain he was probably curious about whose car it was!"Hey, stop right there!"His figure was unmistakable—tall, commanding, the same piercing gaze that had always unnerved me. My stomach churned as the reality of the situation hit me like a punch to the gut.A sharp panic surged through me, and my grip on the seat tightened. I tried to swallow the knot in my throat, but it wouldn’t budge.I quickly glanced away, my heart racing. I couldn’t let myself spiral into fear. I had to focus. I had to get away! My mind scrambled for any plan, any way out of this.Before he could catch up, I slammed my foot down on the gas pedal, the engine roaring to life beneath me. The tires

    Aira’s POVI kept glancing at the rear view mirror repeatedly, expecting Alexander to appear at any moment. My heart pounded at the thought that he might be chasing after me. I had to escape!Lost in my thoughts, I failed to notice the dangerous cliff ahead until it was almost too late. My eyes widened in shock as the car hurtled forward, the edge looming dangerously close. Panic surged through me, my breath hitching as my hands tightened around the steering wheel. The tires screeched as I slammed my foot on the brake, my pulse were pounding like a war drum!“Shit!” I cursed loudly, my breath hitching in my throat.Gravel crunched beneath the wheels, sending small rocks tumbling into the cliff. My heart raced, one more second and I would have plunged into the darkness below. I gasped, realizing how close I’d come to death.That was too close.For a moment, I sat frozen, staring at the darkness before me. The cliff was terrifyingly deep. If I hadn’t noticed it in time… I shuddered at

    Alexander’s POV"Report! Any news on her?!" I thundered, my voice commanding and unwavering as it echoed through the room.The guards before me hesitated, shaking their heads. Their eyes held defeat, as if silently begging for mercy. They had been searching for days, but still, there was no news, no sign of Aira."No, Alpha. We haven't found anything," one of the guards finally spoke. "We searched all over the borders, even beyond them. But we couldn't go too far… there’s a risk of rogue attacks, and we can't afford to lose any more of our men."I clenched my fists tightly, my nails digging into my palm. My patience was wearing thin, but I forced myself to stay composed. Losing my temper wouldn’t help."Fine. You’re all dismissed," I ordered, my voice cold and restrained."Thank you, Alpha," they responded in unison before retreating from the throne room.Once they were gone, I was slumped back in my seat, rubbing my temples as a throbbing headache was threatening to consume me.

    Alexander’s POV“Alpha, I need to step out for a moment,” Lucius suddenly spoke up. “One of the warriors just called for me.”“Alright, but make sure you return quickly.”With that, Lucius left the room, and I redirected my focus back to the meeting.“Now, let’s get back to the real concerns at hand,” I continued, my gaze sweeping across my men. “What areas do we need to strengthen? What improvements should be made to our defenses? If you have any pressing issues, speak now.”“Alpha, we all understand that you're worried about Aira, especially since she’s carrying your heir.”At his words, my jaw tensed. I already knew where this was going.“But you need to focus on the Luna herself,” he added, his tone firm yet careful.His words made my blood boil. My hands clenched into fists under the table as I held back my growing irritation.“You have no right to tell me that,” I said coldly. My voice cut through the air like a blade. “Right now, the most important thing is finding Aira. She ca

    Alexander’s POV"Cassandra, what the hell are you doing here?"My grip on the towel wrapped around my waist tightened as I stared at her, my patience already wearing thin.Instead of answering my question, Cassandra stepped closer. Before I could react, she placed her palm on my bare chest, the warmth of her touch seeping into my skin.I stiffened. Her fingers moved with intent, tracing the lines of my muscles, gliding over my skin. Irritation burned in my chest. I clenched my jaw."I came here to reward you," she murmured, her voice sultry. "Isn’t this what you wanted?"Before I could even process her words, she leaned in, her lips parting slightly as she attempted to kiss me.I recoiled instantly. My body moved on instinct, pushing her away—not roughly, but firm enough to create a necessary distance between us."You need to leave. Now," I said coldly.However, instead of retreating, Cassandra’s expression twisted into something grotesque. Her eyes darkened with fury as she suddenly

    Aira’s POVDespite everything, I remained guarded. There was something unsettling about this man, something oddly familiar. He really reminded me of someone I had long tried to forget.Someone who had left deep wounds in my heart, filling my past with pain and regrets.I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced myself to stay composed."I'm okay. I need to go back now," I said, my voice firm."Are you sure?" he asked, his gaze searching mine.His concern only made me more defensive. "That's none of your concern."I pushed myself up, trying to stand on my own, but my body still felt weak. “Hey, be careful. You shouldn’t force yourself,” he said, his voice laced with concern.I suddenly felt his hands reaching for my waist, attempting to support me. My breath hitched, and instinct took over. I immediately pushed him away, my heart pounding in shock.His touch had caught me off guard, sending a shiver down my spine. I didn’t mean to react so harshly, but fear surged through me before

    Aira’s POVI watched Ezekiel quietly as he rested, recovering from the healer’s treatments over the past few days. His face was still pale, and the faint traces of pain lingered, but he looked better than before. I felt a mix of relief and worry as I observed him in silence.He had fallen asleep before the healer came back. He had regular check-ups to make sure his wounds were healing properly. My eyes stayed on him, but for some reason, a heavy feeling weighed down on me as I stared at his still form. The healer stood up and turned to me, giving me a reassuring glance.“His condition looks good now,” she said. “Just call me if the pain worsens or if the ointment doesn’t work.”“Thank you, always, for your help,” I replied to her. She nodded and left without a word.Once she was gone, I sat by the edge of his bed, unable to take my eyes off him. All I could do now was wait for him to wake up. But it wasn’t long before I felt my eyelids growing heavy. I could barely keep them open.“I

    Aira’s POVI turned my back on him; however, he shouted.“Aira, no!” Alexander’s desperate voice broke through the chaos. I winced as his hold tightened, the intensity in his eyes begging me to listen.Then, to my shock, he fell to his knees.“Please, you need to believe me!” he yelled. “Aira, we were finally getting somewhere—why is everything falling apart now?” His voice cracked. Panic was etched into his face.But I was done listening. Fury clouded my thoughts, drowning out reason. I yanked my wrist free, “Get lost!” I shouted, my voice trembling from the rage surging through me.I turned to Ezekiel, ignoring Alexander’s broken expression as I reached out to help him. Ezekiel grunted, wiping a trickle of blood from his lip.“I don’t ever want to see you again,” I spat, my words aimed at Alexander like daggers. My pulse raced as I watched his expression crumble.Alexander’s eyes widened, disbelief washing over his face. For a moment, he was utterly still, the weight of my rejectio

    Aira’s POV‘Aira…help!’I jolted awake, my heart racing. My breathing was ragged as I struggled to shake off the remnants of sleep. Blinking rapidly, I realized I had fallen asleep on one side of the couch in the mansion’s living room. I quickly sat up, rubbing my face, and turned to look at the clock. It was already late at night.Ezekiel.A sudden wave of unease washed over me. I glanced around, searching for him, but he was nowhere in sight.“E-Ezekiel? Are you here?” My voice came out shaky as I pushed myself up.I moved carefully, my hands instinctively cradling my lower abdomen. I had to be extra careful for the baby. Taking a deep breath, I turned on the lights.The moment the room illuminated, my breath caught in my throat. My eyes widened in horror.Drag marks.Dark, disturbing stains smeared across the living room floor, forming a trail that led deeper into the mansion. My stomach twisted painfully.“What the hell is this?” I whispered to myself, my heartbeat hammering again

    Ezekiel’s POVI wasn’t surprised when I woke up and found myself in a dark, damp underground garage. The air was thick with the scent of oil and rust, and the cold concrete beneath me. And then I felt it—a sharp blade pressed against my throat.My breath hitched for a brief second, but I quickly regained my composure. My life hung in the balance, teetering on the edge of that very blade. Yet, I refused to show fear.The wielder of the weapon? None other than him.“Alexander,” I muttered, my voice steady despite the lethal situation. Our gazes locked.His expression was cold, his eyes brimming with restrained fury. But me? I smirked. I refused to let him see me waver.“What brings you here, huh?” I taunted, my voice dripping with amusement. “I knew I caught a familiar scent while I was resting. Let me guess—after Aira and I fell asleep, you made sure to drag me here, down to this underground pit, away from her eyes.” My smirk widened. “You didn’t want her to see what you’re up to, d

    Ezekiel’s POV“Where is Aira now?” I asked the moment I returned to the mansion."She's upstairs, Alpha Ezekiel, in her room. Just reading her book," the maid replied respectfully."Does she ever leave? Has she disobeyed me?" My voice was firm, searching for any sign of defiance.The maid quickly shook her head. "No, Alpha. She never tries to escape. Ever since the security around the mansion tightened, she hasn't stepped outside. She stays in her room most of the time. When she does move around, it's only within the mansion—often visiting the nursery and the study room."I nodded, absorbing the information. Good. At least she was staying within bounds.Without another word, I ascended the stairs to the third floor, where Aira’s room was located—the place I always left her. My fingers curled tightly around the small velvet box in my hand. Inside it was a necklace—a gift for her. Whatever her reaction would be, it didn’t matter. I had already decided.Standing before her door, I knocke

    Amelia’s POV“I need to leave. There is something I needed to take care of.”I didn’t wait for Alexander’s response, nor did I need his permission. I turned my back on him and walked away without a second thought.Something about him felt off. I had a nagging feeling that Alexander was lying to me. But if he was lying, he wouldn’t get away with it. I knew him too well. I had spent enough time by his side to recognize when he was hiding something.So, I decided to take matters into my own hands.I had been watching her closely, waiting for a moment when she’d let her guard down. And that’s when I caught her.I overheard her speaking in hushed tones, her voice laced with urgency."I need to go to the pirates," Cassandra said.I edged closer, careful not to make a sound. My breath hitched as I strained to hear every word."Tell me, who were the people that came from the pirates?" she demanded.A maid stood before her, shifting uncomfortably. She looked nervous, her hands fidgeting with

    Aira’s POV“Aira, are you okay?”I looked up to see Ezekiel standing in front of me, concern etched deep into his eyes. "Yes, I’m fine. Don’t worry too much about me. You should’ve taken care of your own business instead of coming back."He shook his head firmly. "I’ll stay here tonight. I want to make sure you’re okay before I leave tomorrow. You need to be careful." He reached out and cupped my cheek, the warmth of his palm grounding me. But despite his gentle touch, my thoughts drifted to Alexander.True to his word, Ezekiel stayed the night. I appreciated his presence, even if it made my heart feel heavy. By the time morning came, he finally left, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of guilt gnawing at me. I barely had time to gather my thoughts before Alexander returned. My cheeks burned as I invited him upstairs. I couldn’t hide my embarrassment, but Alexander just smiled, his eyes softening as he looked at me.“I wanted to surprise you first,” he said, taking my hand. Before I cou

    Aira’s POV“Ms. Aira! Ms. Aira! What happened to you?!”My eyes fluttered open, and dizziness hit me hard. The world spun around me. Panic bubbled up in my chest. "W-What's going on?" I managed to ask, my voice weak and trembling.“Oh! You’re finally awake!” a maid exclaimed, her face etched with relief. “We’ve been trying to wake you for a while now, Ms. Aira. Hold on!”She quickly called out, her voice urgent. “Help me get her to the bed!”A group of maids and guards rushed over. Those who couldn’t lift me still tried to help, supporting me as they carefully eased me onto the bed. My head throbbed, and my muscles ached as if I’d been running for days without rest. I sank into the soft mattress, trying to calm my racing heart.One of the guards, his face stern and serious, barked an order. “Call for a healer. Now!”A maid immediately rushed out of the room, her footsteps fading as she ran down the hall. I lay there, dazed and confused, my thoughts muddled. Why did my body feel so wea

    Aira’s POVI had no choice but to accept my situation. Locked in this room, I couldn't go out anymore. Deep down, I knew it had something to do with the necklace. It was the only thing that made sense. Ezekiel must have picked up Alexander’s scent from it—after all, he’s an Alpha with heightened senses.A frustrated sigh escaped my lips as I tried to calm myself. There was no point in panicking. I needed a distraction—anything to get my mind off this mess. So, I made my way to the nursery room in the mansion. The workers were busy, expanding the room and making it more suitable for a baby.“How’s the arrangement going?”One of the workers looked up, surprise flashing across his face. “Oh, Ms. Aira, it’s you. We’re almost done.”I nodded, watching as they painted the walls a soft, calming shade of blue. The faint scent of fresh paint hung in the air, and I wrinkled my nose. The nursery was filled with baby supplies—clothes, toys, and tiny furniture. To keep myself from going crazy wi
