EMMELINEDarius tilted his head, and I knew I'd fucked up. His dark eyes narrowed so slightly. It was the kind of look that made my blood run cold, even though his expression remained calm. Too calm. Like he was mentally deciding how best to deal with me.What the hell had I just done? Blurted out my anger to a man who could probably snap my neck without breaking a sweat? I stumbled back, my palms suddenly sweaty. My heart pounded so hard I thought he might hear it. What was I thinking saying that out at him like I had a death wish?I swallowed hard. What would he do to me now? The calmness in his expression was more terrifying than if he’d yelled.He brushed imaginary dust from his suit.He rose to his feet, the movement slow and my breath hitched in my throat. He was coming closer. My mind raced, frantically searching for a weapon, anything I could use to defend myself. A lamp? A vase? Hell, I’d grab a goddamn pen and stab him if I had to. We were alone. This was my chance. I coul

EMMELINEI woke up with one thing on my mind: today is the day Darius dies.I couldn’t let myself think about what happened yesterday—the shopping, his so-called kindness, his defense of me. It was all bullshit. A carefully orchestrated act to mess with my head, to make me feel something other than hatred for him. But I wasn’t that stupid.He wanted to make me feel like I owed him something for treating me kindly. The only thing I owed Darius was death. And I planned to deliver.After slipping out of bed, I pulled on one of the dresses he’d bought yesterday. I hated the feel of it against my skin, but I couldn’t go back to those damn slave rags. The maids had already started whispering, assuming I’d been officially made his concubine. Let them think that. It would only make my plan easier.I headed to the kitchen, my heart pounding very fast. Everything I needed was already in place. Last night, I stole some curry powder and mixed it with the Greenshade I’d found yesterday. The poiso

EMMELINEThe entire estate was summoned before Darius.I stood beside him, every muscle in my body screaming to run, to hide, to do anything but stand there like a damned statue. My palms were sweaty, my breathing uneven, but I didn't dare move.I could feel the fear written on the faces of the kitchen staff as they lined up before him. They were all trembling, their heads bowed, eyes darting around as if the answer to their salvation lay on the floor. They didn't deserve this.They were innocent.I wasn’t.I was the one who poisoned him. Me. And now these people were about to pay the price for something they didn't do. Darius didn't immediately speak. Instead, he sat there, calm and composed, like he wasn't the one whose life had nearly been snatched away. His beta, Dawson, on the other hand, wasn't nearly as composed."Who tried to poison the Alpha?" Dawson's voice rang out like a gunshot.My stomach twisted violently. Cara stirred in my head, growling. ‘Tell them. Tell them now be

EMMELINEIt had been a day since Darius locked me in this damn room.I sat on the cold floor, knees pulled to my chest, staring blankly at the wall. My eyes were swollen from crying, and my throat was raw from screaming. Nobody had come to check on me, not even to throw a scrap of food my way.I was so tired—tired of everything.“Why am I even here?” I whispered to myself, my voice breaking.You’re stronger than this, Cara said in my head, her voice softer than usual.“Am I?” I shot back, bitterly. “Look at me, Cara. I’m a prisoner. A damn puppet for him to use whenever he wants. What’s the point of living if this is my life?”She didn’t answer.My gaze landed on the glass bottle sitting on the table. It would be so easy—just one sharp blow to the edge of the table, and it would shatter. And then I could end this miserable life of mine with just a cut at the right place. I stood, my legs shaking as I reached for the bottle. My hands trembled as I held it, my reflection distorted in t

DARIUS“Could I have been wrong?”I leaned back in my chair, fingers drumming on the edge of the polished wooden table. The thought had been eating at me ever since I saw her on that damn auction stage. She looked just like her.Molly.Is that even her real name or did she lie about that too?Her face, those eyes, the way she carried herself. It was uncanny. I didn’t want to believe it. Hell, I refused to believe it. But I couldn’t shake the memory.I was nine, trailing behind my father during one of his boring political meetings with the Lycan King. He got distracted, and I wandered off, finding myself in the garden of some grand estate. That’s when I saw her—spinning barefoot on the grass, laughing as if the world couldn’t touch her.She was... mesmerizing.That girl was a Lycan. The second daughter of King Carrington himself.Could it really be her? Could she have survived the attack?The reports were very clear—King Carrington’s entire family had been wiped out. No survivors.

EMMELINEI stood outside his door, my heart pounding so loudly I thought it might give me away. The knife felt heavy against my back. I had tucked it under the thin waistband of my panties. I adjusted the transparent robe I’d stolen from one of the closets. It barely covered anything, but that was the point. To seduce him. The more distracted he was, the closer I could get.This was the night. I had one job—kill him. Nothing else mattered.I took a deep breath and pushed the door open. Darius looked up from his seat by the window. His eyes widened slightly when he saw me, his gaze locking on my transparent robe and the body beneath it. I could feel his eyes linger. I shut the door softly behind me and let the robe slide off from my shoulders, dropping around my feet. I stood there in nothing but my panties, my arms hanging loosely at my sides to seem unbothered, though my heart was thundering in my chest.He didn't say a word, just leaned back in his chair. His jaw tightened as his

EMMELINEI woke up before dawn, staring at the ceiling like I had all the time in the world. My body felt weighed down, and my thoughts were all over the place, but my mind was made up. Killing Darius wasn’t an option anymore. It just wasn't going to happen. Fine. But that didn’t mean I had to stay here and let him mess with me. If I was going to die, at least it’d be on my terms, not his.I slipped out of bed, very quietly. No bags, no extra clothes—nothing to slow me down. Just me and my ridiculous determination.Cara, my wolf, turned lazily in my mind. “You really think this is going to work?”“I don’t need your doubt right now,” I hissed under my breath, pulling the door open just wide enough to slip through.The halls were strangely quiet, the estate still wrapped in darkness. I stuck close to the walls, staying out of sight from the few guards strolling around like they had all the time in the world to stop me.“Why don’t you just fight them?” Cara grumbled. “You’re a Lycan, Emm

DARIUS“Alpha, she is not in her room,” the guard said, his voice shaking as if he knew how much trouble this news would bring him.I set my glass of whiskey down, my fingers tightening around it until I thought it might shatter. “What do you mean, she's not in her room?” I growled.“No one has seen her, Alpha,” he stammered. “We’ve checked the immediate quarters. She’s… gone.”For a moment, I just stared at him, my mind working overtime to process what he’d just said. Gone? How the hell had she managed to pull that off?“Get the rest of the guards,” I ordered, my voice cold and clipped. “Search the estate. Every hallway, every damn corner. Don’t come back to me unless you’ve found her.”He nodded quickly and practically sprinted out of the room like his life depends on it—which, honestly, it might. I was left alone with my thoughts.Fifteen minutes later, the same guard came back with a group of others. Their faces were pale, and they looked like they’d rather be anywhere but here.

★DARIUS’ POV★The whispers hadn't stopped, not entirely. Even after the council meeting, even after Sylas and Lena started their 'educational talks,' I could still feel the undercurrent of unease in the pack. It was like a low-grade fever, always present. And it was all centered around the baby. My baby.Emmeline was trying to be strong, I knew she was. But I saw the way she'd sometimes flinch when a maid was a little too quiet, or how she'd touch her stomach protectively when someone looked at her a little too long. The incident with Clara and the shoes, and how her anger had triggered the baby's kicks... it only confirmed my fears. This wasn't just a normal pregnancy. This child was... reacting. Responding. And that kind of connection, that kind of power, was exactly what the pack was afraid of.I needed more than Elara's observations, as good as she was. I needed someone who understood the truly ‘unusual’. Someone who specialized in the weird, the rare, the supernatural pregnancies

★EMMELINE’S POV★Things were getting weirder. Not just the Alpha visits, which were still a thing, but the baby. My baby. Elara said it was unique, strong, and yeah, I was starting to feel exactly what she meant.It wasn't just random kicks anymore. It felt... connected. Like my emotions were having a direct line to the little person inside me.Yesterday, for example. I was trying to get ready for another stupid Alpha tea with another set of Alphas who were scheduled for that day, and one of the maids, a girl named Clara, brought me the wrong shoes. Again. It was the third time she'd messed up a simple errand that morning. I was already stressed about meeting another stranger who might be secretly judging me or my baby, and this just... tipped me."Clara," I said, trying to keep my voice even, but I could feel the annoyance bubbling up. "These aren't the shoes I asked for. These are the ones from Tuesday. I need the black ones with the silver buckle."She just stood there, looking flu

★DARIUS’ POV★Something was off. I could feel it in the air, a subtle shift in the pack's energy. It wasn't fear like when we were under attack, not that sharp, immediate terror. This was... quieter. More insidious. It was whispers. Hushed tones that stopped the moment I walked into a room. Eyes that flicked away too quickly.At first, I thought it was just the usual pack gossip, maybe about the Alpha visits or the new security measures. But the feeling persisted, a low hum of unease that seemed to follow me. I started paying closer attention, listening in on conversations I usually wouldn't bother with.And then I heard it. Bits and pieces."...the Luna's baby...""...so early, and so strong...""...a pure hybrid... like the old stories...""...what if it's too much?"Too much. That was the phrase that kept coming up. Too much power. Too much difference. Too much... unknown.I knew exactly what they were afraid of. Hybrids weren't unheard of, not entirely. I had Lycan blood myself, a

★EMMELINE’S POV★Well, so things were getting... interesting. Not just with the Alpha visits, which were still happening and still mostly weird, but with the baby. My baby.I was sitting on the window seat in my room, just like I did most afternoons now. The sun felt warm on my skin, and I had my hand resting on my stomach.Elara, the new midwife, was amazing. She was older, with kind eyes and hands that felt like they knew exactly what they were doing. She came by regularly to check on me, give me advice. Most of it made sense, even the weird bits about not eating undercooked meat or raw milk, which, ew, why would I anyway? But she explained it all patiently.Today, she was checking my belly, pressing gently here and there. I was relaxed, used to it by now."How are you feeling today, Luna?" she asked, her voice soft."Pretty good, Elara," I said, smiling a little. "Just tired sometimes. And hungry. Always hungry."She chuckled. "That is normal. The little one is taking much energy t

★EMMELINE’S POV★Okay, so today was the day scheduled for the Alphas coming to visit. Great. As if being Luna wasn't enough pressure after the ceremony do-over, now I had to sit here and entertain powerful strangers. Darius said it was important, that they wanted to 'formally greet' the new Luna. I just thought it sounded tiring.I smoothed down the front of my dress, the same one I wore for the ceremony. It felt a bit like a costume, but Darius seemed to like it. He was already in the receiving room when I got there, standing by the large window, looking out with that intense gaze he had. Sylas was there too, smart and vigilant as always."Feeling okay?" Darius turned as I entered, his expression softening slightly when he looked at me."As okay as I can be," I mumbled, trying to sound more confident than I felt. "Just... don't really know what to expect."He walked over and gently took my hand. "Just be yourself. You're my Luna. They are here to show respect. Nothing more."I nodded

★DARIUS★Sylas nodded and left, leaving me alone with my thoughts again. The idea of other Alphas, other males, wanting to see Emmeline, to assess her, made my skin crawl. She was mine. Our mate bond was sacred, our child even more so. They had no right to intrude on our lives, on our fragile peace. But Sylas was right. Ignoring them could be worse. It was a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. All I could do was control what I could – the security, the vetting, and making sure Emmeline was protected at all costs.Hours later, the sun had set, and a quiet had settled over the compound. Sylas returned, looking tired, but with a sense of completion about him."Alpha," he said, entering my study. I was still there, staring out the window at the moon rising."Sylas," I turned. "The list?"He held up a single scroll. "Vetted. Every name checked, every pack investigated as thoroughly as possible in the time we had.""And?" I prompted, my heart hammering a little in my chest."Su

★DARIUS’ POV★Sleep didn't come easy, not since... well, not since everything. But especially not now. Not with Emmeline carrying our child. Every shadow outside her window felt like a threat, every creak of the old house sounded like an intruder. It was a constant, low thrum of anxiety under my skin. Seeing her today, looking a little less pale after Elara's visit, helped, but it didn't erase the feeling that the world was just waiting to snatch away the few good things I had.I was in my study, the maps and reports on my desk blurring into meaningless lines. I needed to do something. Sitting here, waiting, felt like a betrayal.I slammed a fist lightly on the desk. Enough.I got up and went straight to the guards stationed outside my wing. "Increase the perimeter," I ordered the guard. "Double the patrols around the Luna's wing. I want eyes on every approach, every hour."The guard l nodded. He knew the score. "Consider it done, Alpha.""And," I added, running a hand through my hair

★★EMMELINE★★◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇The door creaked open, and I looked up from where I was propped up on the pillows. It wasn't the usual hesitant young woman who'd been checking in. This time, a woman who looked like she'd seen more sunrises than I'd seen rainy days walked in. She was older, her face etched with lines that somehow made her look both tired and incredibly kind. She had a presence, you know? Like the quiet strength of an old tree.She introduced herself as Elara, the new midwife. Her voice was low and calm. "Luna," she said, giving me a small smile. "I'm here to check on you and the little one."I just nodded, feeling a bit shy. The other midwives had been nice enough, but they always seemed a bit... nervous around me. Elara didn't have that. She just felt... solid.She came closer to the bed, her movements slow and deliberate. She didn't rush anything. She sat down on the edge of the bed gently and reached for my wrist to check my pulse. Her hand felt warm and steady."How are

★DARIUS’ POV★●●●●●●●●●●●●●●The noise of the banquet hall faded behind us as I guided Emmeline towards our room. My hand rested on the small of her back, feeling the warmth of her through the thin fabric of her dress. Every step felt like walking on air, not just because of the wine, but because she was beside me. My Luna. The words still felt new, shiny, perfect.We got to the door, and I paused, turning her gently to face me. Her eyes, bright and sparkling from the evening, met mine. Oh moon goddess, she was beautiful. Not just in that dress, which looked incredible on her, but the way she was her. The way she smiled, the little crinkle at the corner of her eyes, the way she bit her lip when she was thinking. All of it."Finally," I murmured, my voice a little rougher than I intended. I reached up, cupping her face in my hands. "Finally, we're alone."She leaned into my touch, a soft sigh escaping her lips. "It was a wonderful banquet, Darius. Truly.""It was," I agreed, my thumbs
