Royal's POV"Nurse! Doctor! Somebody help!" I cried out, twisting and turning in agony on the bed.My voice was filled with fear as I called for help and prayed nothing happened to my child.Moments later, the door swung open, and Dr. Mitchell together with the nurse hurried inside the room, their eyes widening at the sight of me in distress."What's happening, Royal?" She asked, rushing to my side.I winced, gripping the edge of the bed tightly. "Pain... all over... something's wrong!""There was nothing wrong when I checked her last. What could be wrong?” the Nurse asked the Doctor."Where does it hurt Royal?” the doctor asked.I gasped as another wave of pain shot through my body. "Stomach, back, everywhere. Please make it stop," I cried, wriggling in pain.Dr. Mitchell assessed me with a calm demeanor. "Take deep breaths, Royal. It sounds like you're in labor. The contractions have started.""Labor?" I exclaimed, my voice trembling. "But it's too early!"She placed a comforting ha
Royal's POV Just as I was lost in the depths of his beautiful eyes, the door creaked open, and a nurse entered the room. She had a warm, comforting smile on her face as she approached us."Hello Miss Royal," the nurse greeted me. "How are you feeling?""I'm feeling better, thank you," I replied, my voice filled with exhaustion and happiness. "And my son... he's just perfect."The nurse nodded, her eyes filled with understanding. "He truly is a precious little one," she said. "I'm here to check on both of you and see if there's anything you need."I paused for a moment, not knowing whether to say what I wanted. Finally, I mustered the courage and spoke softly, "I would love to take him outside, to the garden, and see the moon together. Do you think that's possible?"The nurse's eyes sparkled. "Of course, Royal. It's a beautiful idea. Let me make the necessary arrangements, and we'll make it happen."Happy, I watched as the nurse left the room, her footsteps echoing down the hallway.
Alpha Chase's PovThe issue with Royal quickly died down and the day went on fast.I stood alongside Feina in the midst of a gathering consisting of our friends, families, pack member, and other well-wishers surrounding us under the moonlight for our wedding.It was the night I dreamed of, the night we were getting married, the night my title as Alpha solidifies.As I gazed into Feina's eyes, I felt a wave of emotions wash over me. She looked breathtakingly beautiful in her flowing white gown, her beautiful hair cascading down her shoulders. Her eyes sparkled with love as she smiled warmly at me.The sound of music filled the air, gently playing in the background as Feina and I exchanged vows, promising to love and support each other through all the ups and downs of life. Just as the moon reached its zenith, a wave of dizziness washed over me, and I clutched my head trying to stabilize myself. "Are you okay, Chase?" she asked and I nodded thinking it was a mild headache.All of a su
Royal's POVI froze, my eyes widening in disbelief. "Luna?" I repeated my voice barely a whisper."Yes, Royal. You are our Luna." the woman replied with excitement. "Your white wolf signifies that you are destined to be the Luna of our pack."I took in their words one by one, my mind swirling with confusion and uncertainty. "I... I can't be your Luna," I stammered. "I think there must be some mistake."The women exchanged puzzled glances and one of them stepped forward. "Royal, our pack has been waiting for you. We've seen signs and received prophecies that our Luna would come to us in the form of a white wolf. With your arrival and the connection you share with our pack, it's all too powerful to ignore."I shook my head, my emotions in turmoil. "I appreciate your belief in me, but I'm just an ordinary woman from a seemingly powerful background. I think you're mistaken about me being your Luna."The woman reached out and gently touched my arm, her touch comforting yet persistent. "Som
Royal's POV I turned around then my eyes fell on the lady who walked in and I was stunned. She was breathtakingly beautiful, her eyes a shade of deep amber that seemed to hold an extraordinary glow.She exuded an aura of power and authority, and her presence immediately commanded attention. Although I've heard of her, I never met her till now."Who are you?" Clara hissed, her eyes narrowing at the newcomer. "What are you doing here?"The lady's expression remained calm, but there was a flash in her eyes. "I'm here to protect what's mine," she replied, her voice carrying a form of warning to Clara."What do you mean protect what's yours? And who the fuck are you? What are you doing here?" Clara retorted, facing her."The question you asked should be directed towards you Clara. What are you doing here in Royal's room? And don't tell me you're here to congratulate her because that wasn't what you were doing when I walked in.”Clara's eyes darted between me and Devi and she raised her h
Royal's POV"Don't worry, Royal. Devi didn't leave. She had to take a phone call. Something urgent came up, but she'll be back soon. She asked me to stay and be with you until she returns.""Oh, I see," I replied, a bit disappointed that their conversation was interrupted, but also understanding that emergencies can happen at any time.Rico pulled up a chair and sat down next to me. "I hope you're doing okay. I can only imagine how overwhelming everything must be for you, especially with everything that's been going on lately. We couldn't finish our conversations earlier either…""It has been a lot," I admitted, glancing down at Aiden who was peacefully sleeping in his crib. "But I'm hanging in there. Aiden, my fire, keeps me strong. And now, with Devi's presence, I feel a little more supported too."Rico nodded, smiling, as his mind drifted to his mate. "Devi is a good person. She's always been protective of those she cares about, and I can see she genuinely cares for you and Aiden."
Alpha Chase's Pov"Speak Simon. I'm waiting!”Simon took a deep breath before continuing, "We have reason to believe that the leak did not come from the halfling. After conducting a thorough investigation and reevaluating the evidence, we've discovered some inconsistencies that indicate Royal might have been framed.""What?” I yelled, turning to face him. "Are you serious?" I asked and he nodded.My heart sank at the revelation. If what Simon was saying was true, it meant we had banished an innocent member, and possibly my own mate, and carried my unborn child, without just cause. For the first time, guilt and regret clawed at my chest, and I felt angry and sorrowful at the same time."How could we have been so blind?" I murmured, my voice heavy with regret. "She told us. She begged us, but we didn't listen.""It's not entirely your fault, Alpha," Simon replied, attempting to console me. "The evidence against her was convincing, and we were all under immense pressure to address the s
Alpha Chase's POVThe words slipped out of my lips, heavy with sorrow and hurt. Everyone gasped and tears began to fall from their cheeks. "Mother!” A young woman cried, leaning on others as she broke down.The news of the woman quickly spread, and soon everyone in the gathering was mourning the loss of the old woman who was a wise and cherished member of the community. The wolves howled mournfully into the night, revealing our loss.As the night wore on, I couldn't help but feel haunted as the woman didn't finish her sentence. Was this the old witch playing pranks on me?The idea of breaking the curse that had haunted me for so long filled me with hope, but I didn't know where to start and now that the moon was up, it was time to cry in agony. "Prepare everything and everyone for the burial!" I ordered and left for a secluded place to spend the painful night.With the first light of dawn, I wore my black clothes while the rest of the pack gathered soberly outside the old woman's c
