Royal's POVThe words hung in the air, echoing through the room, piercing the fog of my confusion. My heart skipped a beat as my mind raced to comprehend the stranger's revelation. How could I have a child? I am on birth control, how can I be pregnant and talk less about giving birth? The realization sent a surge of fear and disbelief coursing through my veins."I... I don't understand," I stammered, my voice barely a whisper. "How can I be pregnant? I don't believe you!"The stranger's gaze softened, their eyes filled with compassion. "I know this must be overwhelming for you," they said, their voice gentle and soothing. "But I assure you, it's true. You are carrying a child within you."Emotions collided within me, a whirlwind of confusion, fear, and a glimmer of hope. Questions tumbled forth, jumbling together as I struggled to make sense of it all. "How did this happen? And why did it have to happen now?" I cried, unable to process the information. The stranger sighed as if burde
Royal's POVWhen I regained consciousness, I found myself in a sterile hospital room, surrounded by the faint hum of medical equipment. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, I tried to piece together the events that led me here. The nurse's words echoed in my mind, the confirmation of my pregnancy crashing over me like a tidal wave.As my eyes adjusted to the bright lights, I noticed the nurse standing nearby, a concerned expression etched across her face. "You're awake," she said softly, her voice filled with a mixture of relief and sympathy.Confusion clouded my thoughts as I struggled to make sense of my surroundings. "What happened?" I managed to ask, my voice, weak and trembling.The nurse moved closer, taking a seat beside me. "You fainted, Miss. The emotional stress combined with physical exhaustion seemed to have overwhelmed you," she explained gently. "But don't worry, you and the baby are stable."I instinctively placed a hand on my abdomen, a mix of awe and fear washing over
Royal's POV The room fell silent, the weight of my decision hanging in the air. Tears streamed down my face as I grappled with the impossible choice before me. The nurse's words had painted a bleak picture of the risks involved, and I couldn't deny the fear that gripped my heart. But deep down, I knew that giving up on the life growing inside me would haunt me forever.In the midst of my anguish, a voice echoed in my mind, a whisper of strength and determination. It was as if a spark of my own magic flared within me, urging me to rise above the despair and fight for what I believed in. No matter the challenges, I couldn't turn my back on this innocent being, this child who held the promise of a better future.Wiping away my tears, I steadied myself and made a resolve. I refused to let fear dictate my decisions any longer. I would face the obstacles head-on, seeking the help and support I needed to navigate this treacherous path. With newfound determination, I whispered into the empt
Royal's POVAlthough I fell unconscious, I stirred up again, my breath shallow, and my body weak. It felt like my spirit came out of my body and was watching the doctors cater to me.The room filled with urgency as doctors and nurses rushed in, their faces a blur of white coats and concerned expressions. Alpha Rico, the stranger who had saved me before, was standing by my bedside, his intense gaze fixed on me."Save her! Do something! She must not die!" he roared but I didn't hear him clearly as I was in a daze.One of the doctors swiftly approached, his voice calm but authoritative. "We need to get her back on the bed immediately. She's struggling to breathe," he said, his tone laced with urgency. With a gentle touch, he helped me back onto the bed, his gloved hands steady and reassuring.As I gasped for air, another doctor swiftly placed the oxygen mask over my mouth and nose. The rush of cool air filled my lungs, providing a momentary relief from the suffocating grip that had taken
Royal's POVTaking a deep breath, I met Alpha Rico's gaze and nodded slowly, a smile on my face. "Yes, Alpha Rico," I said, my voice steady but my heart pounding with uncertainty. "I'll join your pack."A smile spread across Alpha Rico's face, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "I'm glad to hear that, Royal," he replied warmly. "I believe this is the right path for you."His words stirred something deep within me, an ember of courage and determination that had long been smoldering. Perhaps he saw something in me that I had yet to discover myself. Alpha Rico extended his hand, his palm facing upward, an invitation to take the leap of faith. Hesitant but resolute, I reached out and placed my hand in his, feeling a surge of energy pass between us. It was unlike anything I had ever felt."We have much to prepare for, Royal," Alpha Rico said, his voice infused with a sense of urgency. I nodded, a mix of excitement and trepidation coursing through my veins. "You mentioned something befo
Royal's POVRico noticed the change in my demeanor and followed my gaze, his expression turning grave. "Royal, what's wrong?" he asked, concern etched in his facial features.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. "It's Beta Simon," I managed to say, my voice trembling. "He was the Beta of my old pack. I never thought I would see him again."Rico's eyes narrowed as he assessed the situation. "Beta Simon, from Crescent Moon pack? You are from the Crescent Moon pack?"I nodded, unable to say anything."Stay here, Royal," he said firmly, his protective instincts kicking in. "I'll go and find out what he's doing here."I watched as Rico exited the car, his confident stride carrying him toward Simon. The tension in the air was palpable as I anxiously awaited his return, my mind racing with questions. What was Simon doing here? Was he a threat to me and the pack? Was he here to take me away?Minutes felt like hours as Rico engaged in a conversation with Simon, their voices
Royal's POV Just as despair threatened to consume me, a sliver of light pierced through the darkness. The sound of footsteps approached the door, each step growing louder with every passing moment. The door creaked open, and a familiar voice called out, breaking the suffocating silence."Royal? Are you awake?" Rico asked.Rico's voice, laced with concern and warmth, reached my ears, soothing my frayed nerves. Relief flooded my being as I recognized the sound, a lifeline anchoring me to reality."I'm here," I whispered, my voice trembling slightly.The footsteps drew nearer, and Rico stepped into the room, his eyes searching for me in the dimly lit space. As his gaze fell upon me, wrapped up in the blankets, he exhaled audibly, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders."Thank goodness you're alright," he said, his voice filled with genuine relief.I nodded weakly, a mixture of gratitude and vulnerability swirling within me. Rico approached the bed, his footsteps slow and meas
Royal's POVAs we descended the grand staircase, I marveled at the architectural beauty of the pack house. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings depicting the history and traditions of the Silver Lining pack. The air held a faint scent of pine, a reminder of the vast forest that surrounded us.We reached the ground floor, and Rico led me toward the front entrance. As we stepped outside, the cool night air kissed my skin, and I used my hands to keep myself warm until Rico draped a jacket over me and I hugged it tighter around me. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the expansive grounds.We began our leisurely walk, the soft crunch of gravel beneath our feet providing a rhythmic soundtrack to our conversation. Rico pointed out various landmarks as we strolled, sharing stories of the pack's history and notable events that had taken place within these grounds."The ancient tree over there," Rico gestured towards a massive tree with gnarled branches, "is sa
ALPHA CHASE'S POV "I can't say, but you have a chance to take her back…" he said and I admired his honesty. After eating, we headed back to the hospital room pending the time Simon prepared a room for him in the pack house since he planned on staying. As Rico and I sat in Royal's hospital room, waiting anxiously for any news about her condition, we heard a knock at the door and we saw two women, with a baby. "Mother? Devi? Asher?" Rico called out in surprise and together with Aiden, they ran out with smiles on their faces. "Grandmother, Auntie!” Aiden beamed as he stretched to carry the little one. Curious, I walked outside too. "Alpha Chase," both women greeted in unison. "How is she?" the older lady inquired, her voice trembling with worry. "We're expecting good news," I answered, still waiting for an introduction, which Alpha Rico did. "Lady Loretta, Luna Devi, thank you for coming. The doctors are running tests to determine what's causing her condition." They asked me if
ALPHA CHASE'S POV"Really?" I chuckled. "So nice of them to do me a favor by coming to me directly! Prepare the men!" I ordered and with a nod, he left. Making sure not to disturb my mate and son, I took out a few clothes for battle and then headed out. As I stepped out of the elevator, I cracked my knuckles, a wicked smile playing on my lips. Been so long since the bloodthirsty Alpha went to battle.As I led my pack members out to confront the rogue wolves who dared to breach our territory and threaten us, I felt confident even though it was unplanned.To avoid anyone getting hurt, my warriors and I had no choice but to confront these intruders head-on before they got to the bustling area of the pack.We finally met them and as I looked at the intruders, I couldn't help but notice a familiar face among them.

ROYAL'S POV:"If you love yourself and your son, come alone!" The second message read.Without another word, I left the room, my steps echoing through the empty hallways as I made my way to the warehouse on the abandoned Omega Road. My every heartbeat was a drumming reminder of my desperation, pushing me to reach Aiden as quickly as possible.When I reached the abandoned building, my heart pounded in my chest. The darkness and silence that surrounded it sent a shiver down my spine. But I couldn't afford to hesitate. I took a deep breath and pushed open the creaking door, my senses alert for any sign of danger.Inside, the dimly lit interior revealed a horrifying sight. There, in the middle of the warehouse, I saw my son, Aiden, bound and gagged, tears streaming down his little face. My heart clenched at the sight, and I rushed to his side, my own tears mingling with his as I untied him. "My baby,” I whispered."Mommy!" Aiden cried out, throwing his tiny arms around my neck.I held hi
ROYAL'S POVIn my frantic state, I clung to Alpha Chase, tears streaming down my face as I struggled to catch my breath. My heart was a storm of fear and anguish, and all I could think of was our precious Aiden, taken away from us by cruel and unknown hands.Alpha Chase's eyes were wide with shock and concern as he held me close. "How did this happen, Royal? Tell me everything," he pleaded, his voice filled with urgency.Taking a shaky breath, I recounted the horrifying events. "We were on our way to the Silver Lining pack. Aiden was asleep in my lap in the backseat. Suddenly, a group of masked men ambushed us. They were armed, and there was nothing we could do. They forced me out of the car and... hit me then they took Aiden with them," I choked on my words, reliving the traumatic moment.Alpha Chase's jaw clenched in anger as he processed the information. "We will find them," he vowed, his voice filled with determination to save his son "Simon, we need to act fast. Gather our best t
Alpha Chase's POVShe left. The one woman who gave me peace. The one woman who broke my curse, the mother of my child left!Watching the vehicle which carried Royal and our son Aiden away, brought immense pain to my heart.As the sound of Royal's car faded into the distance, I couldn't help but feel empty. The days I spent with Royal and Aiden were more than magical. Now, with her gone, I was left with a void that seemed impossible to fill. "I told you to tell her, didn't I?" my angry wolf scolded. "If I did, she'd have packed her things and left that instant. I didn't know last night would happen and I would be so trapped that I would spill it all…" I answered.I sighed heavily and went back to my home. To the grand doors of the six-story pack house. I clenched my jaw and pushed the heavy wooden doors open, stepping into the familiar scent of my home. My footsteps echoed through the corridor as I made my way to my office. The pack had been in turmoil since I'd been away for treatm
Royal's POVWith those words, Chase came into my room, horny and ready to devour me whole. I, on the other hand, was prepared for him no matter how much I lied to myself. I wanted him, and only him.Just like old times, his hand touched me in all the sweet and weak spots and the feeling was heavenly. He kissed me with so much desire, that I could feel myself submitting to him when he had not even started anything yet."Just fuck me already," I screamed in my subconscious but didn't dare to say it out. Why rush what I'd enjoy throughout the night? A few minutes into foreplay, I regretted my decision as I tried so hard to push him away while he ate me out. His tongue, his lips, his fingers, everything! I was so lost in the pleasure, that my moans disappeared, replaced by gasps and shudders. One command from him and more juice dripped from my insides and I lay there like a goddess being worshiped.Once he satisfied himself and turned my legs to jelly, he spread my legs, positioning his
Royal's POV As our lips locked once again, my mind raced with conflicting emotions. This was Chase, the Alpha who sent me away. He didn't believe me when I was all alone. But now, something changed between us, and I couldn't ignore the intensity of the feelings rushing through me.As we kissed, my heart battled with my rational mind. I pulled away gently, breaking the kiss, and a heavy silence hung in the air. My heart pounded in my chest, and I could see the confusion mirrored in Chase's eyes."Silver," he whispered, his voice soft and uncertain. "I... I don't know what just happened, but I can't ignore how I feel about you."My breath hitched, and I took a step back, creating some distance between us. "Chase, I can't deny that there's something between us, but we can't act on it. We've been through so much together, and I don't want to jeopardize our friendship."He sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "But Royal, what if we're meant to be more than just friends?
Royal's Pov Taking a deep breath, I knelt down to be at eye level with Aiden. Before I could answer, Alpha Chase blurted out, "Yes I am your father!"The words hung in the air, and for a moment, me and Aiden both stared at Alpha Chase in utter surprise. The crackling of the fire seemed to echo the shock that just enveloped us."Chase," I said softly, her voice a mix of disbelief and confusion.Chase winked at me then turned to Aiden with eyes filled with determination, "I know I should have told you both sooner, but I wanted to make sure it was the right time. Aiden, you are my son, and I've always been watching over you from afar."Aiden's eyes widened, a whirlwind of emotions washing over him. "You're my father? But... why didn't you tell me before?"Chase knelt down next to me and placed a hand on Aiden's shoulder. "I wanted to keep you and your mother safe. There were dangerous forces that threatened us, and I thought it was best to stay away until we could ensure your safety."
Third person povThose words struck Royal like a thunderbolt. She didn't prepared herself for the possibility that Alpha Chase might not remember himself or their past together. Her heart sank, but she pushed her emotions aside and put on a reassuring smile."That's okay," she said softly, trying to keep her voice steady. "You've been through a lot. It's normal to feel disoriented. Just focus on resting and recovering."Alpha Chase nodded weakly, seemingly accepting her words without further question. He struggled to sit up, and Royal quickly moved to assist him.Since he was the only one who needed treatment, Royal decided to stay back and watch him.Although Rico and Devi were not happy with the decision to stay with Chase after everything, they understood what she wanted.As the first rays of the morning sun cascaded through the windows, Royal stepped into the cozy living room of her humble abode to meet Chase. "Good morning, Chase," she greeted with a warm smile, setting a tray o
