ASTRID'S POV.“You don’t understand, Alpha Dane; I need to know because I had a one-night stand with a stranger a few months back, and that’s how I got pregnant,” I blurted out, my voice trembling with the weight of my confession. The words hung in the air between us like a dark cloud, and I could see the confusion washing over Dane’s face. His brows furrowed, and his lips parted slightly, but no words came out. He just stared at me, trying to process what I had just revealed.For a moment, we stood frozen in the silence, locked in each other’s gaze. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, each beat louder than the last. My mind raced, wondering what he was thinking. Did he understand? Was he angry? Hurt? His expression gave nothing away, and the longer the silence stretched, the more anxious I became.“You have to talk to me, Astrid,” Dane finally said, breaking the silence. His voice was calm, but there was an edge of desperation in it. “What exactly is going on? I need to kn

DANE'S POVI sighed for the seventh time, leaning back in my chair and letting out a frustrated groan as I stared up at the ceiling. The weight of my thoughts felt unbearable, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of impending doom.Lately, I had been spending so much time studying the complications of my situation. How could my life take such an unexpected twist? Everything had spiraled out of control, and it felt like I was trapped in a never-ending cycle of pain and torture. Bit by bit, I was losing my grip on sanity.I was faced with a choice, one that would haunt me for the rest of my days. The reality of the curse loomed over me like a dark cloud: the only cure lay in the blood and death of my own child. I couldn’t risk that; the thought alone sent chills down my spine. If I refused to follow through, I would be left to suffer the consequences, bearing the weight of that decision for eternity.There was no going back from this crossroads. I understood it all too clearly.If I chos

ASTRID'S POVI stumbled out of the cab, tears welling in my eyes as I glanced around, scanning the area to ensure I wasn’t being watched or followed. My heart raced as I took a moment to gather myself. After a brief pause, I saw nothing but the quiet, stillness of the surroundings, so I turned and made my way into the woods, hoping to find some solace among the trees.With each step I took, the weight of my emotions pressed heavier on my chest, causing my heart to sink deeper into despair. It felt as though a dark void had opened up inside me, an emptiness that I couldn’t escape. I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat growing as I remembered the words that had shattered my world.He had been so curt, so cold in his response.“I want to.”Those words echoed in my mind, delivered without hesitation or warmth, as if they had no real meaning. He had lied to me, and the truth hurt more than I could bear. When I had bravely claimed I was pregnant and confessed that I didn’t know who t

DANE'S POV“It's okay; you will be fine. Trust me, I’ll make them pay for this,” I said softly to Astrid, trying to comfort her. She smiled just a little, her eyes lighting up for a moment as she moved closer to me. I gently held her face in my hands and pressed a light kiss on her forehead. I could see how worried and stressed she was.Her skin looked very pale, and her lips were dry and cracked. Dark circles were visible under her tired eyes, showing how exhausted she was. She had clearly been crying a lot, and I felt guilty for leaving her alone in the hospital when she needed me most.Right now, she seemed completely worn out, but I knew that someday we would need to talk about the truth between us. There were some important things we needed to discuss, but I figured that could wait for a little while longer.“Come on, let's get you home,” I whispered softly before gently lifting her into my arms.“Alpha Dane, let me down,” she protested, squirming in my hold.“You need all th

DANE'S POVPushing open the doors slowly, a smile settled on my lips as I took in the sight of Astrid still peacefully asleep. Finally, she was getting the rest she desperately needed. It pained me to see her stressed out over the past few weeks, constantly in and out of the hospital, her worries visibly etched on her face.I was more determined than ever to keep her safe and shield her from harm. This time, I wanted her to be relaxed, free from the burdens that had weighed her down. With that thought in mind, I made my way into the bathroom to take a shower, allowing the warm water to wash away the remnants of the troubles that had consumed my life.As I stood under the cascading water, Han’s last words echoed in my mind, his desperate pleas for mercy ringing hollow. After everything he had done, the thought of him begging for his life filled me with a sense of disgust. He had chosen his path, and I had simply followed through on my own. With each droplet cascading down my body,
