last update Last Updated: 2025-04-24 23:02:18

Alex’s POV

Seeing Ethan today… it did something to me. Something I thought I had buried long ago.

He hadn’t changed much—still tall, broad-shouldered, effortlessly handsome with those piercing eyes that always seemed to see right through me. One polite smile, one quiet “good morning” from him, and it was like my heart forgot how to beat properly.

I had always been in love with him.

God, I tried not to be. I fought it with every fiber of my being. But feelings don’t listen to reason—especially not when they’ve taken root so deep, they’ve become part of who you are.

But Ethan was straight. Is straight. His marriage to Elena, my best friend, was the nail in the coffin—if there was ever a coffin big enough to hold a heart this conflicted.

Yes, I’m gay.

And no one knows.

Not Elena, even though she’s the closest person to me in the world. Not my father, the Beta of our pack, whose pride and legacy I was expected to uphold. Not anyone. I’ve worn this secret like armor for so long, it started

    Alex’s POVStep by step, I crossed the space between us, each footstep powered by something I couldn’t control anymore.And then without thinking I kissed him.Hard. Aggressive. Desperate.He pushed me off immediately, his eyes wide in shock.“What the fuck is wrong w—”I didn’t let him finish. I grabbed him again, crashing my lips into his, tighter this time, refusing to let go.As if my life depended on it.Just when I thought he would shove me off again—he didn’t.He kissed me back.Fiercely.Hungrily.As if something inside him had snapped and there was no turning back.His hands gripped my waist, dragging me closer, mouths colliding like we were starved for each other. His kiss wasn’t gentle—it was bruising, possessive… desperate. Like he had been fighting this too, like he hated how much he needed it but couldn’t help himself anymore.Our bodies were slick from the shower, wet skin sliding against wet skin. He spun me, slamming my back gently against the tiled wall, pressing his

  • Pregnant for my husband’s father    Chapter 38

    Ethan’s POVI couldn’t breathe.What the hell had just happened? My mind was racing as I stormed out of the shower, grabbing a towel to wrap around my waist. My hands shook, not from the cold water still trickling down my skin, but from the sudden rush of confusion and regret.Alex had kissed me. Kissed me. The force of it still lingered on my lips, and every inch of my body felt on fire, a blaze I couldn’t ignore. But I had to. I had to push him away.I couldn’t let this happen. Not like this. Not when I was married to Elena, his best friend friend. I loved her. I loved her with every ounce of my being. But what had just transpired…?I ran my hand through my wet hair, pacing the length of the room. My heart was still pounding, my chest constricted with guilt.Alex.He is my wife’s best friend, and now—what? Had I crossed a line I couldn’t take back? The way he’d kissed me, the way his body had reacted to mine, it all felt too real, too intense.But I was married to Elena. I loved her

    Alex’s POVI walked into the sitting room, but my mind was miles away. My feet moved on autopilot while my thoughts spun in circles, clashing against each other like a storm with no end in sight.What the hell just happened?Ethan kissed me back.Not a hesitant brush of lips. Not a slip or a mistake. He kissed me like he wanted it, like he had been holding it in for years. His hands were firm, possessive. His body didn’t resist mine. For a moment, we were fire colliding with gasoline.And now, here I am… guilt gnawing at my chest like a parasite.How could I betray Elena like that?She’s been my best friend since we were kids. We grew up together, cried together, fought the world together. She’s the reason I was able to survive in a world where I had to hide who I was. And now… I did the one thing that could destroy her.I dropped into the couch, burying my face in my hands.“Damn it…”I wanted to blame the moment. The heat of it. The loneliness. The years of wanting Ethan in silence.

  • Pregnant for my husband’s father    Chapter 40

    The King’s POVI walked beside Joe, my loyal Beta and oldest friend, the echo of our boots filling the long corridor leading to the war council chamber. The guards at the massive double doors bowed their heads and opened them without a word.Inside, the council members were already seated—elders, generals, and pack alphas from across the realm. The moment I entered, every single one of them rose to their feet and lowered their heads in unison.“All hail the Blood of the Moon, our Alpha King,” they chorused with practiced reverence.The title rang through the chamber, heavy with meaning. I nodded once, then strode across the room and sat on the black stone throne at the head of the table. Cold, unyielding, and carved with ancient runes—it suited me.With a wave of my hand, I signaled them to sit.“Proceed,” I said.One by one, they began to speak. Reports came in about rogue activity near the northern borders, the Crescent Pack’s delay in supplying warriors, and rumors of a brewing reb

    The King’s POVWe walked into the secret dungeon, my dungeon. Hidden beneath the palace, carved into the earth with spells and steel, this place was built by my own hands, forged in secrecy. No one else in the kingdom knew of its existence except for Joe, my most trusted beta. Not even my sons. Not even the Council.The thick iron door groaned as Joe unlocked it, the screech of metal slicing through the silence like a blade. The stench hit immediately—damp stone, rusted chains, and the bitter scent of decay. But I’d grown used to it. It smelled like betrayal.There she was.Queen Kate.Once regal, now reduced to nothing but a ghost of her former self. She sat curled in the corner, chains digging into her ankles and wrists, her once-glorious silver hair now a tangled mess. But the moment the door opened, her head snapped up. Her eyes—though sunken and weary—still held that desperate gleam.She crawled forward, dragging the chains with her.“Please… please, let me out,” she whispered, h

The palace was buzzing with excitement for the event, but in my room, there was only silence—heavy, almost suffocating.A sharp knock broke the stillness.Before I could even call out, the door swung open, and Kai strode inside with a stormy expression. He didn’t ask for permission. He never did. His presence filled the room instantly, his energy tense, bristling with barely concealed anger.I barely had time to react before he spoke.“I saw my father coming out of your room this morning,” he said, his voice low but seething. His eyes—so much like Klaus’s—burned into mine. “Are you still sleeping with him?”I froze. My heart slammed painfully against my chest.“I… I am—” I began, desperate to explain, to say anything that could make him understand. But he didn’t let me finish.“You disgust me,” he snapped, stepping closer. His words lashed like

    Amelia’s POVIt was almost midnight, and the entire palace was cloaked in silence.After the terrible encounter with Kai, and after shedding so many bitter tears, I felt completely drained, body and soul.I just wanted to rest. To be left alone for once. To find a little peace.I lay down on my bed, turned off the lamp, and pulled the blanket up to my chin, closing my eyes.The darkness wrapped around me like a cocoon, and for a moment, I thought maybe… maybe sleep would finally come.But then—I felt it.That eerie prickle on my skin.That undeniable sense that I wasn’t alone.I opened my eyes—and immediately froze.Two glowing red eyes stared at me from the dark.My heart slammed against my ribs as my trembling hand shot out to switch the lamp back on.Light flooded the room—and my breath caught in my throat.It was him.The King.Standing there, tall, imposing, and far too comfortable invading my personal space.I scrambled upright, clutching the covers to my chest.“My King, you s

A rat?” he said, his lips twitching with amusement.I scowled at him.“I had to say something! You almost got both of us caught!”He stepped out, towering over me with that maddening smirk on his face.“I told you,” he said lazily, “a king doesn’t hide.”“Well, this ‘king’ would have gotten me beheaded if Clara had found you in here!” I hissed, poking a finger against his broad chest.He only chuckled, the deep rumble of it vibrating through the small room.“I like it when you’re feisty,” he teased, leaning in dangerously close.I stepped back immediately, putting a hand up between us.“There’s no time for that,” I snapped, feeling my cheeks heat up. “You need to leave. Now.”He quirked an eyebrow, completely unhurried.“And miss the fun of seeing you panic? I think not.”I gritted my teeth.

Open up!”I tried to move, but the king stirred, tightening his hold on me and nuzzling deeper into my side like a stubborn child.“I want to sleep more,” he mumbled, voice rough and heavy with sleep.“Someone’s at the
