The Unexpected Surprise

**ONE YEAR LATER**
"Congratulations, Luna! You're pregnant!" The doctor's words kept ringing in my mind, filling me with joy as I made my way to my mate, the Alpha King's office, to tell him the good news.
After many tries, I was finally going to have my Alpha's pup. Zander and I had wanted a baby for so long since we had mated. But every time I got pregnant, it ended sadly with heartbreaking miscarriages, losing my precious pups.
This time, when I realized I had missed my periods, I decided to keep it to myself. I didn't want Zander to go through the pain and disappointment of another loss.
I kept my pregnancy hidden from everyone, waiting for the right time. It wasn't until three months had passed that I went for a check-up, hoping for good news. When the doctor confirmed that the baby was growing healthy and strong, tears of happiness flowed from my eyes. I couldn't contain my joy, rushing to share this incredible news with my mate.
I was going to knock on the door, but my hand halted in the air when I heard Avery's voice.
"Why don't you leave her? She doesn't deserve to be your mate. She's weak and wolf-less.”
My smile disappeared as my heart sank with uncertainty.
"Not now, Avery. I have to go to the conference. We'll talk about it later," Zander's calm voice replied, leaving me shocked.
Mate.
Weak.
Wolf-less.
Then it dawned on me : they were talking about me!
"Why don’t you kill her like you killed her family and pack?" Avery's bored voice came from behind the wide, thick doors.
I gasped and covered my mouth, trying to hold back tears. My eyes stung and everything became blurry.
"Stop! Don't say anything else. I'm late for the conference," Zander growled, sounding frustrated but not denying it.
It couldn't be true.
Goddess, please tell me that it couldn't be true! My mate, responsible for killing my family?! Now, he's plotting my murder with his girlfriend!
My suspicions were confirmed. At first, I only believed Avery was in love with Zander. But now, it's clear Zander also loved her, and they betrayed me behind my back.
The realization hit me like a tidal wave, crashing against the fragile shores of my heart.
I didn't have time to wipe my tears when I heard footsteps nearing the door. I quickly escaped before they sensed me.
Swiftly, I slid away from the door and rushed to my room. Closing the door behind me, I frantically searched for my phone and dialed my father's number.
Each ring felt like an eternity as I impatiently waited for my father to answer, but there was no response. The silence on the other end of the line gnawed at my soul, intensifying the fear gripping my heart.
In hopes of hearing some news, I called my uncle, Jack. He picked up after three rings.
"Uncle, I've been trying to reach Mom and Dad, but no one's picking up the phone," I blurted out, my worry rushing out in a hurry.
"Selena, my dear, it's over. Everything is finished! The pack... our pack... it's gone," Uncle Jack's voice cracked, carrying the same pain I felt.
"Who... who could do that?" I asked, hoping what I heard at Zander’s office was wrong.
"It was him, Selena. It was your mate," Uncle Jack's voice shook with sadness and resentment.
No! No! That's not true!
The ground beneath my feet seemed to crumble away, leaving me suspended in a world of disbelief.
"The Alpha King, Zander Blake. He murdered your family... our pack," Uncle's voice lowered to a somber tone, carrying the weight of an unbearable truth.
I felt like such a fool. Even after hearing it myself, I needed confirmation from my uncle. My already shattered heart splintered into countless pieces, each fragment a testament to the immense loss I had suffered.
My mate hated me so much that he even demolished my whole pack.
I clasped a hand over my mouth, trying to stifle the sobs that threatened to consume me. Tears streamed down my face, mixing with the remnants of shattered dreams as I mourned the devastating loss of my beloved family and the pack members who had once been my kin.
"Uncle," I hesitated, my voice shaking as I wiped my tears with the back of my hand, "I overheard Zander and his girlfriend, Avery, planning to murder me. They've been having an affair and want to get rid of me."
"Oh, Goddess! I always knew he was cruel, but to be so heartless..." Uncle's words trailed off, overwhelmed by deep sorrow for my situation. "Selena, my dear, I beg you to leave immediately and come to me. We'll escape to the South, leaving this treacherous land behind. There, we can start a new life, far away from their reach, where no one will ever find us."
"No, uncle, I can't just run and hide from him," I whispered. "He's my mate, the Alpha King. His power has no limits. I'm sure he'll find me, no matter where I go. And... I... I'm pregnant, carrying his pup," I confessed, glancing anxiously around as if the walls themselves held secrets that could expose my vulnerability.
"What?! You're pregnant?!" My uncle's voice surged with sudden excitement, echoing through the receiver.
I bit my trembling lips and nodded, even though he couldn't see me.
"He... he hates you and will kill your child too," my uncle's voice trembled with concern and desperation. "I'm coming to take you away from him," he advised, and he was right.
If Zander didn’t love me, he wouldn't love our unborn child. It was a truth I couldn't deny, a painful acceptance that stung my heart.
"Uncle, wait for me outside the borders of this pack. I'll join you in a few hours," I replied, wiping my wet cheeks with determined yet shaking hands as I ended the call.

But, sweetheart, this game is more suitable for older children. Let's find something else that's perfect for your age," I quickly improvised, attempting to shield him from the harsh reality of our financial limitations.Deep down, guilt gnawed at my conscience.

My heart pounded loudly in my chest throughout the entire ride, and as soon as we pulled up in front of the pack house, panic gripped me.

*Selena*I saw a woman with an angry expression striding toward us. She wore a knee-length black skirt and a suit jacket, and she seemed unfamiliar to me. Her presence exuded authority, and it was evident that she held a position of power."Please, get up. Please!" I gently held the shoulders of the omegas, pleading with them. "Thank you so much for your love, but I am not your Luna anymore," I smiled meekly, touched by their loyalty."Let's get back to work before we get into trouble. The matron is coming," I informed them, keeping a watchful eye on the approaching figure."What's going on here, you lazy asses? Listen to me carefully. If dinner is not ready on time, you will all face the consequences," the lady threatened, her tone stern and imposing."We are sorry. We are returning to work quickly," I replied on behalf of the omegas, urging them to follow me back to their tasks."You!" The woman pointed at me, summoning my attention."Me?!"

He was naked, dripping wet in the shower, holding me onto him. His hard, sculpted body flushed with mine, making me remember all our hot and passionate moments. It would be better if I died because the feeling made me feel so embarrassed, despite not wanting to feel like that.The cold water pouring on me didn't even help not to feel his hot body pressed onto me. Every fiber of my body became alive by his proximity, and I hated myself for that. But what the hell was it, actually? Was I feeling like this because I had not been this close to a man in those three years?The thought he could smell my arousal made me so nervous. I didn't want to give his already inflated giant ego a boost, but I couldn't help it when the arousal burned my core, making me clench my thighs tightly together. Ah! Now I wanted the earth to

I quickly got ready for the day's work, diligently trying to complete everything Luna Avery had instructed me to do for her breakfast. The matron, Eden, watched us with a scowl on her face. Sometimes, I weirdly felt her staring at me more often than others.I sneakily took a glance at her and found her standing in the doorway, her arms crossed over her chest and a scary murderous expression on her face. She looked over the omegas with a critical eye."What's taking so long?" She barked. "I don't have all day to wait for you worthless omegas to make breakfast. Get a move on!"I furrowed, looking at her. She could clearly see that all the omegas were working so hard to meet her expectations, and we were even before time. Still, she didn't miss a second to scold us. Eden lifted her brow in challenge when she found me gla
The Alpha's Ex-Mate So Stubborn
*Avery*Eden stood before me, trembling with fear as she murmured, “I’m sorry, Luna. I failed to perform the task you assigned to me.” Her voice quavered, and I could see the guilt etched on her face. My anger boiled over. The first part of my plan had failed spectacularly, and I hadn't anticipated Zander intervening to save his ex-mate. This only fueled my thirst for revenge, making me more determined than ever.“Don’t worry,” I said, my voice cold and unyielding. “But remember, this should never happen again. I want that little whore to suffer before she dies in misery. I’ll make sure she’s ensnared in a crime so grave that the Alpha King himself will be forced to execute her. Only then will I find peace.” My eyes narrowed as I imagined the cruel end I planned for Selena. She dared to steal my love and would pay dearly for her audacity.“Of course, Luna,” Eden said, her tone dripping with flattery. “You are invincible and the most clever. No one can outwit you. I am always at your s

The tears poured down from my eyes as we kissed. I whimpered against my mate's lips, overwhelmed by a rush of emotions. I was happy, yet the disbelief lingered—I had almost lost him. It was true that we never truly valued our loved ones until we almost lost them. I had experienced both hell and heaven in those few moments when my mate lay lifeless on my lap, and then he breathed again. I knew better after almost losing him what he was to me, and I would never ignore him over anything. He was everything I needed to live, breathe, and feel alive.“Why are you crying, my mate?” Zander’s brow furrowed in concern as he gently took my face in his large hand. His touch was tender, and his eyes searched mine with a depth of love and worry.

Suddenly, the air crackled with energy, and two divine figures appeared before me. The first was the High Priestess—my mother—and the other, the sacred appearance of the Moon Goddess herself.“Selena, you can't be serious about threatening me, can you?” the Moon Goddess teased lightly, her voice carrying an air of amusement. But her casual demeanor only fueled my fury.“How can you be so indifferent while I am in so much pain?” I challenged, my voice trembling with emotion.“But you chose this path. What more can I do?” she replied with a shrug, her tone frustratingly calm.“Moon Goddess, I love Alpha Zander, and you expect me to accept his death with happiness. Are you truly this heartless?” I scowled, tears streaming down my cheeks uncontrollably.“I thought you would bring Zander back. He is innocent and has nothing to do with this battle,” I pleaded desperately, my voice cracking with sorrow.“He had to die according to the prophecy, Selena. Neither you nor I can change that,” the

It’s you who will pay for killing my Zander!” my scream echoed through the room as I unleashed another devastating strike, sending Damon hurtling across the room to crash against a distant wall.“I can’t believe you would defend him over me. I am your mate, and yet you choose to protect our enemy,” Damon snarled, struggling to rise to his feet amidst the wreckage.“No!” my voice boomed, my entire demeanor now a terrifying force of vengeance. “I have loved only one man my entire life, and when will you understand that it’s not you!” my words were a declaration, punctuated by the raw power of my attacks as I closed in on Damon once more.“Then you are a fool, Selena. If you had chosen me, I would have let you live. But you chose death. P

*Selena*As I headed to Harper’s house, a strange feeling washed over me. Some instinct was holding me back, making each step forward an effort. It was as if someone was calling out to me, needing me urgently. I stopped in my tracks and looked behind me. Everything seemed normal, yet the feeling persisted, an invisible force pulling at me, making it difficult to move ahead.I turned around again, my gaze drawn to the garden Harper referred to as the cursed land. Something about it seemed to call out to me, a whisper of unease.Arena, my wolf, was restless. She howled in my mind, "I think we need to investigate that cursed land. It's strange why everyone is forbidden from going there.""You’re right," I replied through our mindlink. "I feel it too. Why is it cursed? We need to uncover the mystery behind it."“What happened?

*Zander*As the figure emerged from the shadows, the whole picture became clear. The golden trident in his hand was proof that his intentions were far from good.“So, this was a trap for me,” I challenged, raising my head with pride.“I don’t have a problem with you, Alpha. But you were the one who tried to take my mate and started this. Your curiosity has led you to your grave,” Damon mocked, snorting and gesturing around with his arms.“And you call yourself a king?” I taunted. “Attacking from the shadows like a coward.”“Zander, I am nothing like you, and your provocations won’t work on me,” Damon scowled smugly.“That’s right, you are nothing like me. I have Alpha blood and am a real man, not a coward who lacks moral values,” I snarled, baring my teeth.“Moral values?!” he laughed mockingly. “Are you fucking serious, Alpha Zander? What will I get from moral values? They won’t even bring me victory,” he added arrogantly.“A victory is not a victory until it is earned through true s
