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 POVI sat in the private waiting room dedicated to me and the Auburns, impatiently hoping to hear news of Cara. As Mia continued to rest in her own room, Cara had been taken to a room of her own. She was there now, in a bed all her own, presumably unconscious, while the doctors inspected he
Cara’s POVDays later, I sat at Mia’s bedside in her hospital room. She remained asleep, and the Healers were no closer to discovering what was wrong with her. When they spoke with me, they tried to do so with confidence, yet I could see the doubt in their eyes.They had no idea what was wrong with
Cara’s POVWith Alaric’s presence, the hospital administration moved the group of us away from the main waiting room and into a more private sitting room, filled with more comfortable chairs and couches. There was also a coffee pot, which Ryan instantly set up to start brewing, and a television, whi
Cara’s POVI paced back and forth in the hospital waiting room for nearly twenty minutes before Colin made me sit down.“I’m fine,” I told him, even shorter than I had before.Softly, he said to me, “You are worrying Ethan.”Glancing at my son, I could see the fear in his eyes as he stole nervous li
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,
