Noah's POVAs I watched Kylie leave the room, a growing sense of unease settled over me like a heavy cloud. When she got to the door, she turned as though she was about to say something else. But I knew, deep down, that whatever she said would be far from allaying the fears inside of me.Her words had been convincing, but something in her eyes had hinted at a deeper truth, something she was keeping from me. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this situation than met the eye.The scars from my previous heartbreak still lingered, and I couldn't bear the thought of being hurt by a loved one once again. My soul and my mental health had barely healed from the scars left from the whole issue with Astra.I wanted peace, but it seemed as though the harder I tried, the farther it was from me.A small part of me wanted to dig deeper, to uncover the truth behind that strange man, but another part of me dreaded what I might find. What if his name wasn't really Julian? What if Kyl

Noah's POVMy actions were purely driven by anger and hurt, and it had led to a brutal end. I had taken a life, and there was no turning back.But slowly, I felt all my guilt ebb out of me. All I was left with was sadness and a brutal, heavy emptiness.The garden lay in ruins around me, a reflection of the turmoil within my heart. I knew I had to confront Kylie, to face the woman who had hidden such a devastating secret from me. My steps were heavy as I turned to the carriage drive that was waiting for me at the end of the garden. "Alpha...." He stuttered as I walked towards him. I could see concern and a glaring fear in his eyes. Whether he was scared of me or scared of something else, I had absolutely no idea.When I didn't say anything in response, he continued. "What should I do about the.....the body?"I waved a dismissive hand. "Do away with it, somehow.....""Alright." He nodded, then turned and walked ti the carriage. He opened the door and held it open for me.In silence, I

Astra's POVThe dining hall seemed to close in around us as Ramsey jumped into action, his protective instincts in full force. I watched as the maid promptly went to her knees, pure fear on every inch of her pale face.My heart beat with fear and disgust at the maid's behaviour. Fear about the fact that someone, somewhere wanted me dead, and disgust at the homicidal behaviour of the young maid. I could not imagine that someone who had served me a plate of food could actually attempt to have me killed.I stared down at the plate of food before me—the lamb chops of death. A sudden wave of anger came over me as I glanced up at the maid again, and I swore right there and then to end whoever had tried to have me killed.The maid was practically trembling now, drop after drop of tears falling from her eyes. "Please...." She whispered. "Alpha, please show mercy!""You do not deserve mercy!" Noah snarled, the bridge of his nose crinkling with barely-concealed anger. I watched, my heart still

Ramsey's POVSix months later...."Ramsey, the contractions are getting harder!"My head shot up at the sound of Astra's voice. I turned back to see her sprawled on the bed: legs wide, face full of fear, and my own heart jumped in fright.I turned back to Colin. "Find the pack's physician, stat!" I ordered. "Tell him the Luna's contractions have started.""On it." Colin replied, then gave me a short bow and turned to leave the room.I turned and crossed the room to my luna in two quick strides. I slipped to my knees, crouching before the bed and gripping her hand tight."You'll be fine," I whispered in reassurance. "Remember our breathing lessons....""Oh, Ramsey!" Astra wailed as tears slipped down her cheeks. Her fingers gripped mine, as I pushed all my strength and resilience into her.I stayed with Astra until Colin burst into the room again, followed by the pack's physician and a few frantic wolf nurses. "Step aside, Alpha!" The physician called out, pushing past me to crouch be
