Chapter 1 -She's alive

I groaned as I spilled all my juices inside her. She moaned loudly. I stood up, catching my breath and went straight to the bathroom.

"What's the matter, honey?" The soft voice came from behind as I let the cold water ran down my skin.

A pair of soft hands wrapped around me. Zamara caressed my naked chest with her soft fingers. I ignored her. My palms were on the cold wall.

"I think I'm pregnant, Greval..."

Those words were enough to send my body on fire. Dangerous fire.

With a gritted teeth, I removed her arms around me, shooting her a murderous glare as I turned around to face her.

"What the fuck did you say?" I hissed at her, controlling the beast inside me to unleash.

Horror filled her eyes quickly. "I-I think I am pregnant..."

I laughed dryly as I pushed her away. I grabbed the towel and left the bathroom.

"Leave, Zamara. I don't have time for your bullshit. Thanks for the fuck, anyway."

"Are you being for real now? That's all what you gotta say? I said I'm pregnant! With your child! Don't you have anything much better to say? Huh?!"

Something snapped inside me. I suddenly wanted to wrap my hand around her throat and squeeze it until she runs out of breath. Anger curled hot and unstoppable inside me. It was enough to burn my whole system.

"If you really are pregnant, then it's not fucking mine."

Her lips trembled as her eyes swelled up with tears. She punched my chest.

"How could you say that to me?! You don't believe that this is yours?! You are the only man whom I let to make love with me!"

I can't help but laugh mockingly at those words. "Cut the bullshit, Zamara. We both know you spread your fucking legs instantly for those dicks you see out there."

Her palm hit my cheek violently.

And that made me see nothing but red. No one has the right to hurt me. Not even the gods above.

In a snap, I had her throat around my palm. I squeezed it so tight, making her lose all the blood in her face.

"How dare you slap me, huh? Who the fuck do you think you are?" I hissed under my breath. I swear, i fucking wanted to kill her right there and then. But something's stopping me.

Pain was evident in her face as she struggled to breathe. "N-No. Please. I-I can't breathe..."

With a loud thud, I threw her to the wall. I shot her a murderous look as she coughed hard, massaging her neck.

"Kill that baby if you are really pregnant. I don't care if it's mine."

She gasped for air as she gave me a look of disbelief. "W-What did you say? You want me to... kill our baby?"

"It's just your baby. It's not mine," I growled.

She slowly stood up on her feet. Tears were running down her cheeks as pain was evident in them.

"How could you be so cruel? This is your baby! This baby came from you!"

I shut my eyes, trying to calm myself down. One more word from her and I swear to all fucking gods, I will pull her heart out from her chest.

"Then keep that thing with you if you don't want to kill it."

"You are a monster! You are a fucking heartless monster, Greval!"

I smirked evilly. "You know that I love hearing that."

She shook her head as she sobbed harder. "No one will love you! You will fucking die alone! You will fucking regret all the things you have done to me!"

"I don't care if I die alone..."

She smirked. "Really? But how come you're still looking for that woman?"

My smirk slowly vanished from my lips. Anger boiled within me like a relentless inferno, consuming everything in its path. It surged through my veins like a raging river, coursing with unchecked fury.

"You will never find Nieva, Greval! Because she's fucking dead! Move on from her!"

My pulse raced as I felt my blood boiling through my veins. I breathed heavily, almost as if I would burst. "Say another word and you will fucking regret it, Zamara."

"Why? Does it hurt to hear the truth, Greval? That Nieva is dead?! Why can't you accept it? She's gone! It had been a fucking decade!You will never see her again!"

My fists clenched with unbridled fury, nails biting into flesh as I struggled to contain the savage rage that threatened to consume me whole.

I pushed her against the wall and in just a second, I buried my hand on her chest and pulled out her heart. Her eyes were wide as she stared at me.

"N-No. W-What did you do..." she whispered in a horrified tone as blood came out her mouth.

I smirked darkly at her before I put her heart inside her mouth.

"ALPHA..." Hyacinth bowed her head as I entered her cage.

My beta, Brayden, told me that she has to tell me something important.

I don't know what I should feel about it.

"I had a dream about your wife, Alpha..." She stopped for a moment.

"What do you mean?" My wife is dead, almost a decade...

But I refuse to believe it, even though people find it incredulous. I know, deep in my heart, that she's just somewhere...

I could feel every part of my body trembling miserably at the mention of those words.

"She's alive. And I saw her carrying a baby in my dream. And I have a strong feeling that it's yours, Alpha..."

I swallowed the lump in my throat.

A gnawing sense of unease settled in the pit of my stomach, a nagging voice whispering doubts.

Questions swirled in my mind, each one more bewildering than the last. How could this be happening? Was I dreaming? Was this some kind of elaborate prank? Or was I simply losing my grip on reality?

My wife is alive...

And we have a baby...
