HANNAH. I lean over the sink in the hospital bathroom, gripping the edges as another wave of nausea crashes over me. My stomach churns, and I barely make it to the toilet before retching. My throat burns as I sit back on my heels, trying to catch my breath. This isn’t normal. I’ve been queasy f
STACY. “Hannah's definitely hiding something...” I mutter to myself as I lean against the cold wall of the hospital hallway, letting out a long sigh. Relief had washed over me knowing Alpha John was stable, but my mind kept circling back to Hannah who acted totally strange a few moments ago.
Walking through the foyer, the house feels unusually quiet as all servants have knocked off. Jason carries Liam upstairs, his footsteps soft on the wooden floor. I follow closely, opening the door to Liam’s room. Jason lays him down gently on the bed, pulling the blanket up to his chin. “Goodnight
HANNAH. (Hours later) The tires of my car crunch on the gravel road as I approach the Blue Moon pack’s borders, the early morning sun barely illuminating the dense forest surrounding me. My stomach churns with anxiety, the weight of my decision pressing down on my chest. I grip the steering wh
Her words hit like a slap, and I suddenly feel very small. My fingers tighten around the strap of my bag as I struggle to find my voice. "Well, I really need to see him." Beta Margaret doesn’t respond immediately. Instead, she looks me up and down, her judgment clear. “Suit yourself... Lucy, tell
HANNAH “Roxanne, we’ve talked about this,” Daniel says, his tone weary. He shrugs off her hand, stepping away. “You’re not my fiancée. We’ve been over this.” She glares at him, her nostrils flaring. “Not your fiancee??? Oh Daniel, but we both know it’s what’s best for the pack. Everyone expects
“Please, don’t go like this,” he says, his voice softer now, almost pleading. I take a step back, my arms crossing defensively. “Why shouldn’t I? I’ve seen enough, Daniel. She was sitting in your chair, acting like she owns you! And you didn't deny it.” “She doesn’t own me,” he says firmly, his
JASON. (Meanwhile in midnight pack) It's morning and the intoxicating scent of my mate Stacy sleeping next to me hits my nose, I immediately feel my shaft grow hard that I can't resist to trace slow patterns on her bare skin, feeling her stir at my touch, she moans softly, "Morning love, " befor
Daniel stiffens. His entire body goes rigid, as his jaw tightens so hard I swear I hear his teeth grind. “What?” His voice is barely more than a growl. I nod, my grip on his hand tightening. “You heard me.” Fury flashes in his eyes, dark and dangerous. He doesn’t even hesitate before turning on h
HANNAH. I freeze in the doorway, my breath hitching as my brain struggles to catch up with the sight before me. Roxanne and Adrian. Together! Their bodies are tangled together with their hands greedy, and their lips locked in a desperate, forbidden kiss. Clothes are haphazardly disheveled, Roxann
I stare at the pile, then burst out laughing. “Were you two planning to open a pharmacy?” Daniel smirks. “Figured it was better to be thorough.” I shake my head, grabbing one of the tests and handing it to Stacy. “Alright, go pee on this.” Stacy glares at me like I just asked her to do something
HANNAH “You, get a doctor! Now!” Daniel’s voice booms through the wedding venue, commanding instant obedience from the nearest guard. But even as the order leaves his lips, I tighten my grip on his arm. “Baby, I am a doctor, remember?” His eyes flick to mine, realization dawning before he steps a
HANNAH. "Uh-uh, no, not today" Stacy says the moment her eyes land on Margaret. "Please, just hear me out," Margaret pleads, standing in a simple deep red dress suited for her age. She looks… hesitant, so unlike her usual self. Gone is the cold authority, and the condescending stare. Instead, he
HANNAH. (Hours later) Dinner is tense, the air thick with an unspoken rivalry that neither Roxanne nor I are willing to acknowledge outright. The dining room is dimly lit, with the scent of roasted chicken filling the air, but I can barely focus on the food. My attention is solely on Daniel and
She ends the call and turns to me, practically glowing with excitement. "Great news. That was an old friend of mine who owns a bridal boutique. I asked for a favor earlier, and she’s sending over a selection of dresses, ones you’ll actually like." I let out a breath of relief, shaking my head. "Th
ANNAH. (An hour later) I sit cross-legged on the couch, flipping through a bridal magazine Stacy came home with while she scribbles notes in a planner. The coffee table between us is littered with fabric swatches, floral arrangements, and sample wedding invitations. The scent of fresh roses fr
"You’re a damn tease," I snap. Daniel only smirks before lowering his mouth to my breast, his tongue flicking over my nipple before sucking it between his lips. "Mmm," I murmur, arching my back to press my breast further into his mouth. My body is on fire, every nerve ending alive under his touc
