Alpha Noah POV...I stormed out of the room, my frustration and determination fueling my steps. I could hear footsteps behind me, and I knew it was Kylie. She was just that—persistent and stubborn. I knew she would never let me walk away without having a say in it too."Noah!" Her voice trailed behind me like an echo. "Please, listen up!"I didn't stop nor turn back. I knew she was pregnant, so running around was not an option for her. She would tire herself out and turn back soon.However, she persisted, calling my name repeatedly and pleading for my attention. But the clamor of my own thoughts drowned out her words. All I could think about was finding Astra, the woman who still haunted my heart.She followed me until we reached the foot of the grand staircase, then yelled. ""Fuck, Noah! Listen to me for Goddess' sake!"I finally turned to face Kylie. Anger flared in my eyes as I glared at her. "What the hell is it, Kylie?" I snapped, my voice edged with impatience.Kylie's expressio

Ramsey's POVI was standing on a verandah, looking over the courtyard. The cool autumn breeze brushed against my skin, a welcome relief from the pressing responsibilities that came with my role as alpha.As I stood there, my thoughts drifted to the approaching day that would forever change my life – the day I would finally unite with Astra as my mate.I sighed in pleasure as I thought of the day I'd met her for the first time. It was still fresh in my memory: her being dragged to me by two of my pack members, the way she had stared at me with all the fierceness of a proud, pure-bred wolf, the connection that had sparked within me when she'd met me in the dining room on that fateful evening.I could still feel the connecting threads of our mating bond. I could hear her thoughts in my head, smell her scent anytime she was around, feel her warmth on my skin even when she was several metres away. It was as though she was the missing piece of me that I didn't know was lost until she came a

Astra's POVAs Ava the maid walked out, Ramsey pulled into the room.My breath caught in my chest as I looked up at the man: he was bare chested, every ridge and hard lines of his body out on display. The sub from the window in the room seemed to catch his dark hair and set it on fire, turning his brown eyes golden. His trousers hung low on his hips, revealing the vee that led down to his bulge. He didn't have the body of an alpha who sat on a throne all day. He had the body of someone who was used to the open fields, to whom exercise was like leisure.Hell, he was like pure Adonis.I couldn't believe I would be getting married to him soon, but the thought planted fear in my heart.Quickly I gathered myself and cleared my throat, pulling my eyes away. "Did you just finish your morning jog?""Yes," he murmured, and the sheer sound of his voice made desire pool in my body. "I came to check in on you before going to take a shower. How are you, my love?"I turned away from him and faced t

Luna Eleanor's POV I stood on the balcony, my fingers clutching the wrought-iron railing with rage as I watched them below. Astra and Ramsey, walking together through the sun-drenched garden. My anger burned within me, threatening to burn through my mask of calm.That woman!That accursed gypsy nobody!My son, my blood, had dared to defy me. He had chosen his own path, cast aside tradition, and worst of all, fallen for her. A commoner, someone whose place was in the last rungs of society, someone who wasn't even worthy enough to breathe the same air as my son or me!I watched as Ramsey whispered something into the woman's ears and she laughed, her head thrown back, her thick black hair flowing down her shoulders and back, her white teeth flashing under the rays of sunlight. She was very beautiful, I couldn't deny that. But what was beauty in the eyes of royalty, if not someone worthy enough to be called Luna?She wasn't worthy enough! Why wouldn't Ramsey see her for what she was?The

Ramsey's POVAstra was placed in a makeshift stretcher and taken upstairs to her room. I followed the guards' every move with hawk's eyes, not relaxing until she was safe on the bed. Her still form lay on the bed, and my heart clenched in agony. Every second without her consciousness felt like an eternity. I couldn't fathom a world where she wasn't by my side. I refused to leave her, even when the doctor arrived later.His words were a blur, drowned out by the thundering worry in my chest. I watched as he hurried to her side and began checking her vitals. I held on to her, scared that if I let go, I might be letting go forever.I heard the door open again, and my mother stepped in. I could see a mask of worry on her face, but I knew it was just that—nothing but a mask."Oh, Goddess!" She wailed. "Just look at the sight of her. That fall from the stairs must have been fatal!"Her presence in the room did nothing but add to the tension in my heart. To me her concern felt false, as if s

Astra's POVNoah's sudden interruption had thrown the entire ceremony into chaos. The foyer was alive with whispers and gasps, the air thick with tension. I could hear their accusations and specilations already. What would they say if they found out that Noah was my mate.I couldn't believe my eyes as Noah stood there, only a few feet away. Hell, a part of me still thought this was a very bad dream.I glanced at Ramsey, who had moved closer to me. I could feel his anger radiating beside me, his hand gripping mine tightly as if to reassure me that he was there."Noah," I managed to say, my voice a mix of surprise and disbelief. My heart raced, and a whirlwind of emotions swirled within me. But as he walked forward, my surprise turned to anger, and my disbelief turned to frustration.As he stood before us, I felt my anger at him and this situation grow. "Stop this mating ceremony!" He yelled, and his words were met with a mixture of shock and confusion from the crowd. I watched as Lady

Astra's POV I saw Noah's eyes darken as I said those last words. I knew that look in his eyes a little too well; I'd seen him use it several times when he was mad. It was the look he reserved for enemies.He never used that look on me, and seeing it now sent shivers of apprehension down my spine.However, I stood my ground. Noah had never been able to intimidate me, and he definitely would not start now."You heard me," I said, eyebrows raised. "Get the hell out of here, Noah. You have done enough damage by bursting into my wedding and ruining it. The least you could do is pick up the rest of your dignity and leave this place. Leave, Noah. Go!"The dark look in his eyes persisted as he stepped closer to me. A hint of blood and sweat from his body hit my nose, and I curled my lips in distaste. I couldn't believe that this same man whom I'd cherished and loved could become so disgusting to me. Slowly he pulled out his sword, then stretched it before me hilt first. He went to his knees

Noah's POVEven as I walked out of Alpha Ramsey's pack, I could feel my entire world crashing around me.I stumbled down the staircase I'd ascended with so much confidence before, feeling wave after wave of heartbreak flow through me. The pain of finally losing Astra sent my skin flushing with sweat and goosebumps.So this is pain, I thought. Was this how Astra had felt when I had rejected her? Had she endured this excessive thumping in her chest? This unbearable agony that seemed to tear at every fibre of her being? I felt like a fish out of water, like I'd been detached from my life source. Every organ, every muscle and every other part of me was pulled in her direction; it felt as though my body would never know rest until she was close to me.I stopped at the foot of the staircase, letting out gasps of agonizing breaths. I sat on the steps, every bit of shame leaving my body as I stared into the horizon. The horse carriage I'd come with was standing in the distance. From here I co

Ramsey's POVSix months later...."Ramsey, the contractions are getting harder!"My head shot up at the sound of Astra's voice. I turned back to see her sprawled on the bed: legs wide, face full of fear, and my own heart jumped in fright.I turned back to Colin. "Find the pack's physician, stat!" I ordered. "Tell him the Luna's contractions have started.""On it." Colin replied, then gave me a short bow and turned to leave the room.I turned and crossed the room to my luna in two quick strides. I slipped to my knees, crouching before the bed and gripping her hand tight."You'll be fine," I whispered in reassurance. "Remember our breathing lessons....""Oh, Ramsey!" Astra wailed as tears slipped down her cheeks. Her fingers gripped mine, as I pushed all my strength and resilience into her.I stayed with Astra until Colin burst into the room again, followed by the pack's physician and a few frantic wolf nurses. "Step aside, Alpha!" The physician called out, pushing past me to crouch be

At that point, I had absolutely no doubt that this woman absolutely hated me.I couldn't help but feel a profound sense of unease as she walked towards the stand meant for the accused, her head regal and her eyes full of a sense of pride.She paused halfway to the stand, and her eyes fell on her son. "You are an absolute disgrace to me, the royal family and this entire pack!" She spat."Move on, mother!" Ramsey snapped, and she continued walking.Ramsey remained standing at the head of the courtroom, his gaze locked onto his mother with a mix of anger, disappointment, and sorrow. The air in the room felt heavy with the weight of the accusation, and I couldn't imagine the turmoil he must be feeling, torn between his loyalty to his pack and his blood ties to his mother."Let the trial begin!" Ramsey declared, his voice firm, as his eyes roamed around the room.The Council of Wolves, along with the gathered pack members, watched with bated breath as the trial commenced. Lady Eleanor stoo

Astra's POVThe dining hall seemed to close in around us as Ramsey jumped into action, his protective instincts in full force. I watched as the maid promptly went to her knees, pure fear on every inch of her pale face.My heart beat with fear and disgust at the maid's behaviour. Fear about the fact that someone, somewhere wanted me dead, and disgust at the homicidal behaviour of the young maid. I could not imagine that someone who had served me a plate of food could actually attempt to have me killed.I stared down at the plate of food before me—the lamb chops of death. A sudden wave of anger came over me as I glanced up at the maid again, and I swore right there and then to end whoever had tried to have me killed.The maid was practically trembling now, drop after drop of tears falling from her eyes. "Please...." She whispered. "Alpha, please show mercy!""You do not deserve mercy!" Noah snarled, the bridge of his nose crinkling with barely-concealed anger. I watched, my heart still

Astra's POVI was alone in my room, the moonlight streaming in through the windows, casting a soft glow on the walls. My hands gently cradled my swollen belly, the life within me kicking and squirming as if in response to the turmoil that had enveloped me.The silence of the night was broken only by the soft rustling of leaves outside, and for a brief moment, I allowed myself to drift into the memories of happier times, when the weight of secrets and betrayal had not yet burdened our hearts.For some reason, my thoughts drifted to Noah. I sighed as I stared out of the window of my room, my eyes darting across the moonlit courtyard. Noah had been absent from my thoughts for a long time: I wondered why I would suddenly think about him now. My heart had healed since he banished me from the pack, and Ramsey had mended the pieces, filling my life with love and happiness. Ramsey was the one who truly mattered now.So why was I still thinking about Noah?I shook my head, relentlessly trying

Noah's POVMy actions were purely driven by anger and hurt, and it had led to a brutal end. I had taken a life, and there was no turning back.But slowly, I felt all my guilt ebb out of me. All I was left with was sadness and a brutal, heavy emptiness.The garden lay in ruins around me, a reflection of the turmoil within my heart. I knew I had to confront Kylie, to face the woman who had hidden such a devastating secret from me. My steps were heavy as I turned to the carriage drive that was waiting for me at the end of the garden. "Alpha...." He stuttered as I walked towards him. I could see concern and a glaring fear in his eyes. Whether he was scared of me or scared of something else, I had absolutely no idea.When I didn't say anything in response, he continued. "What should I do about the.....the body?"I waved a dismissive hand. "Do away with it, somehow.....""Alright." He nodded, then turned and walked ti the carriage. He opened the door and held it open for me.In silence, I

Noah's POVMy world seemed to shatter around my ears at Kenneth's revelation. The words hung in the air like a death sentence, a heavy weight that crushed my chest, stealing the breath from my lungs. I released my grip on Kenneth, stumbling back in shock, my heart pounding in my ears."What... what did you just say?" I stammered, my voice trembling with disbelief.Kenneth straightened his clothing, a smug satisfaction still dancing in his eyes. "You heard me right, Alpha. That child is mine.""Liar!" I screamed, shaking my head in denial. "You are a crazy, pathetic liar!"Kenneth grinned again, as though he was relishing my anguish. "You want it to be a lie. Deep down, you want to paint me as this crazy lunatic who lies his way through every tight situation. But think about it, Alpha. Think."I cast my mind back, trying to think about the circumstances of Kylie's pregnancy. Kenneth continued. "Has that pregnancy ever felt like yours for even one second? Have you ever felt any real con

Noah's POVAs I watched Kylie leave the room, a growing sense of unease settled over me like a heavy cloud. When she got to the door, she turned as though she was about to say something else. But I knew, deep down, that whatever she said would be far from allaying the fears inside of me.Her words had been convincing, but something in her eyes had hinted at a deeper truth, something she was keeping from me. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this situation than met the eye.The scars from my previous heartbreak still lingered, and I couldn't bear the thought of being hurt by a loved one once again. My soul and my mental health had barely healed from the scars left from the whole issue with Astra.I wanted peace, but it seemed as though the harder I tried, the farther it was from me.A small part of me wanted to dig deeper, to uncover the truth behind that strange man, but another part of me dreaded what I might find. What if his name wasn't really Julian? What if Kyl

.Kylie's POVOh, Goddess!The silence that fell at that moment felt so strong, almost tangible. I could feel it pressing against me, could feel the shock and curiosity moving from Noah in palpable waves.Noah's eyes moved to Kenneth, then back to me, then to Kenneth again. "Who is this man, Kylie?" He asked, his eyes never leaving Kenneth's face.My heart pounded in my chest as I turned to face him, my mind racing for an explanation. Noah's eyes darted between Kenneth and me, suspicion etched across his features. I had to tread carefully, to ensure that the carefully constructed facade I had built didn't crumble before my eyes. The consequences of this encounter could be disastrous, not just for me but for the entire pack.Any little wrong word, and I could as well be placing my own head on the chopping block myself.Kenneth chose that moment to strut forward, his shoulders raised. There was a mocking smirk on his face as he bowed low. "Alpha Noah," he greeted, his voice laced with

Kylie's POVWhen Noah was done, I felt him pull away, a sigh slipping from his lips. I lay against the cold, hard surface of the table for long seconds, as the memories of our steamy sex lingered in my mind."Are you ever going to stand from that desk?" Noah spoke up finally, breaking the silence. "Or have I completely immobilized you with our...ah, act?"I smiled, betraying the raging emotions I felt within me. "No, Noah. I am fine. I'm just taking a moment here."I felt, rather than heard him pause. "Alright...."The room seemed to hold its breath as I listened to the soft rustle of fabric, knowing that Noah was dressing behind me. Every passing second only intensified the strange mixture of emotions swirling within me.This was happiness, I thought. This was what it felt like to own Noah, to finally have him to myself.After what felt like an eternity, I finally stood up. I turned to face Noah, who was now fully dressed. There was a poignant silence between us, a moment when words
