FERRIS' POV For me, the feast was filled with forced smiles and hollow toasts. The noblemen all clamored for a spot in my line of sight as usual. Everywhere I turned, one of them was reaching out with some meaningless gesture—handing me a goblet, pouring me more wine, speaking far too loudly about
FERRIS' POV The moment the doctor’s words hit me, everything around me seemed to slow down. Elise… pregnant? My mind raced in a hundred ways. One thing was sure - the child was mine. Elise was my woman and I knew I was the only man she had been with ever since we got together. I had no doubt in m
FERRIS' POV The council hall went silent the moment I entered. Each member got up from their seats, bowing their heads in respect. "Good evening, Alpha" they chorused. "Good evening" I responded, walking further into the room "Let's begin" “Alpha Ferris,” Councilor Adrien greeted, gesturing to
ELISE'S POV The dream started innocently enough. I felt warm as I stood inside a room. I could feel my baby moving gently, almost as if reaching out, and I placed my hands over my belly, savoring the precious feeling with a smile on my face. But then, the warmth I felt turned cold. A chill creeped
And then, as my senses returned, I noticed it—he was shirtless. I could feel his warm skin against mine. His chest was solid under my cheek. His arms were strong around me, holding me close enough to feel every part of him. Immediately, my body became heated up. I felt the heat spread through ever
ELISE'S POV “Please, Ferris,” I whispered “I can’t wait anymore.” Ferris smirked, looking at me "You can't wait for what, Elise" "I can't -" I said, grinding my hips against his finger. I wanted more, needed more "I can't -" Ferris removed his finger from inside me. He looked at me with that
"Come here" he whispered. He sat on the bed and pulled me to him. Gently, he positioned me to straddle him. I leaned in and kissed him, positioning myself on his cock. As I slid down, we both moaned in ecstasy. It felt so fucking good. I pulled away and looked into Ferris' intense blue eyes and in

Every muscle locked up—fight or flight short-circuited into pure freeze-frame terror.Then he flicked his wrist.Fire bloomed in his palm."Oh, come on!" I dove behind an upturned table as flames roared past. Heat seared my back through the wood. "Since when do assassins do magic tricks?"No answer. Just another fireball forming in his scarred hands. I rolled right as it shattered the table behind me. Splinters peppered my jacket.I stayed low, gripping the knives in my pockets. "Look, buddy, I don't even know who you—"Another fireblast cut me off. My sleeve caught flame. I slapped it out, coughing. "Rude."The bastard still hadn't spoken. Just kept advancing, fingers crackling with fresh heat. My wolf bristled under my skin, all fangs and fury.Bad news: I was five months pregnant. Worse news: This guy didn't care."Fine." I surged upright as his next fireball left his fingertips. "Let's da

FERRIS’ POVWith anger in my veins, I walked toward Joan’s room. I was seething due to everything the maids had told me. The audacity of that woman—making new rules about removing Elise’s things, as if she had the authority to erase Elise from the palace, from my life. My teeth ground together. Joan
FERRIS’ POVThe doors to the palace crashed open as I stormed inside. My blood was boiling, and my fists were clenched so tightly my knuckles cracked. Farrell. That bastard.How dare he speak about Elise that way?The words still rang in my ears, taunting me. Mocking me. I should’ve ripped his throa
The moment Ferris left the house, I watched him with satisfaction. His jaw was tight, and his hands were curled into fists by his sides. I could feel the anger radiating off him. But there was something in the way his shoulders slumped slightly as he reached his car. He looked... defeated. As if som
