Cara.THE SECOND DAY.The two lines of the pregnancy test stare up at me, confirming that I am, in fact, pregnant.Well, this certainly complicates things.……Shit.If I wasn’t such an emotional nervous wreck right now, I’d almost want to laugh at the irony. The entirety of Pack DarkWood wants nothin
Cara.“BITCH! I will RIP her, I will TEAR her!!”Lucy’s vicious thoughts pass through my own mind, doing nothing to help me remain calm.Alaric doesn’t believe me. Alaric doesn’t love me.Alaric has never loved me.He loves Lilia. She’s his.And...he's also hers.“Treacherous SCUM! Vile, hateful TRA
Alaric.I hadn’t expected to reject Cara so suddenly. Everything with Lilia unfolded so fast, and I needed to do something to call a truce between the two she-wolves before things got really ugly.I didn’t know it would hurt so damn bad. My chest feels like it’s both caving in and exploding out at t
CaraAlaric’s face is a thundercloud, his brows knitted in a scowl that speaks of a tempest of emotions raging within. His eyes, usually so composed, are now a stormy mix of confusion and… something else.It looks like…Could it be jealousy?It’s a side of him I’ve never seen before. A shiver zaps do
I ran. Sheer surprise was the only way to break free from Alaric’s grip....One thing had become crystal clear to me:I had to get away from Alpha King Alaric.AlaricI almost ran after her.My wolf, Grey, was screaming at me to follow her. A big part of me wanted to, but a much larger part knew it’
CaraThe apartment Alaric and I shared looks the same as it did a few days ago, but somehow everything has changed.“You’ve changed,” my wolf Lucy says gently in my head.“I had no choice.”Grabbing my suitcases, I look through the items deciding what to take. The expensive clothes, designer watches
My Beta, Walter, cleared his throat, subtly alerting me to his presence.“Sorry, Walter. I hope the wait wasn’t too long.” I usually tried my best to avoid long hours for the old man. Walter had been my father’s Beta before me, and he had an unwavering loyalty to Pack BloodyMoon that I had to respe
AlaricA few days later.“I have news about Cara Wilson, sir.”My Gamma, George knocks on my office door. I gesture for him to enter and close the door behind him. “Well? Have you heard who fathered her child?” I return to signing the documents in front of me while he speaks.“Not exactly. I have i
Alaric’s POV“Of course not,” Melinda said, denying everything. “As if someone of my status would ever lower herself to such cruel and malicious devilry. How could you even begin to insult me by connecting me to that?”“You supported Lilia’s return to the pack,” I reminded her. “You pushed the elder
“I think we need to be prepared for anything. Cara is going to need our support no matter what happens.”Hopefully my bad feeling was wrong. Hopefully everything would be fine.But I wasn’t going to count on hope alone.Alaric’s POVAs the Bedford’s were a prominent noble family with high-ranking su
Colin’s POVI listened carefully to my sister’s words. I didn’t know if she could tell, but as an outsider looking in, it was easily to see how much she loved Alaric. Given their past, she was likely still afraid to admit those feelings to herself, or to acknowledge them in any way.For this, she wa
Cara’s POVI placed the back of my hand to Mia’s forehead and immediately felt her fever. Her hands were clammy. She seemed lethargic, like she couldn’t get up. When I asked her how she felt, she simply said, “Tired.”“I’m going to take you to the hospital,” I said, worry taking hold.“Please don’t,
Alaric’s POVThere was a television hanging along one wall of the meeting. While it had been off while the elders met and while I spoke, we turned it on now. John found the correct channel and immediately, Melinda Bedford’s face filled the screen.She’d dyed her hair again, black now instead of red,
“Do you watch the news?” I asked them. “Though even if you don’t, I imagine your contacts still explained to you what happened regarding my daughter.”“Yes,” said the head elder. “We’ve heard that you have found her and that she is unharmed. Blessings all around.”“Yes,” I agreed. “Though these bles
Alaric’s POVCara ate her breakfast and then went back to her own room to change and get ready for the day. I had to do the same, telling her that I would be gone for work-related reasons for the majority of the morning and afternoon, but I would do my hardest to be home in time for dinner.It pleas
Alaric had left me here.No, I chastised myself. I shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Too much lately I had always been willing to believe the worst in Alaric. Given our past, he had trained me to feel this way, but lately, he had been putting in real effort to be there for me and our children.He would
Alaric’s POVI woke up the next morning with Cara in my arms, asleep with her cheek to my chest. We were still in last night’s clothes, more or less, though I was missing my jacket, and my buttoned shirt was unbuttoned halfway, revealing the tank top I wore underneath.Her clothes were equally dishe
