Chapter: Chapter 96Dexter "Please... just listen to me," she whispered, barely audible through the pounding in my ears. I stared at her. Every inch of her face, every fucking tear trembling in her lashes, was etched into my memory. Still as beautiful as the first day I saw her, but it didn’t matter. None of it did. Not when I could still taste betrayal on my tongue like blood. Not when I still saw Lucas’s blade tearing through my gut every time I closed my eyes. She tried to step forward. "Don’t," I barked, my voice cracking through the cold air between us. My hand moved on its own, reaching into the side of my boot where the handle of the knife waited. I pulled it out slowly, deliberately, letting her see the way the moonlight caught the blade. Her eyes widened. She knew that knife. "You recognize this?" I asked, voice rough, low. I turned it slightly, let the green sheen of the dried poison catch her eye. "Same shit your fucking friend used on me. I nearly died, Aria. Because of you." Her lips

Chapter: Chapter 95AriaThe night was unusually quiet. Still. The kind of stillness that clung to your skin like damp fog, thick and heavy with something unnamed. I stood by the narrow window in the small guest chamber Whitney insisted I use, hands resting on the cool stone sill, my breath fogging up the glass. The moon was high, almost full, casting pale blue shadows across the courtyard of Diamond Spark Pack.I rubbed my arms, the air feeling too thin. Something felt wrong. Deep in my chest, I felt it stir. A tremble beneath the surface of my skin, like the ground quaking before the storm. My senses were off, sharp, too sharp. Every sound felt louder, more distinct—the rustling leaves, the far-off hoot of an owl, the slow shifting of guards below.And then it hit me—his scent.My heart lurched in my chest. I stumbled back from the window, hand clutched over my mouth.Dexter.I hadn’t seen him. I hadn’t heard his voice. But my body recognized him like it always had. My pulse raced, wild and desperate.

Chapter: Chapter 94DexterI stared at the map sprawled out across the table, its surface worn and creased from years of use. My fingers hovered over the inked outlines of territories, tracing the path that led to Diamond Spark Pack. I didn’t even blink. My jaw clenched hard enough to hurt. Every breath I took burned.I was done waiting.I didn’t care what Whitney wanted. I didn’t care about peace. Fuck peace. Aria walked away. She left me bleeding in the dirt and didn’t look back. If that wasn’t betrayal, I didn’t know what the hell was. And if she thought she could hide behind her sister’s walls and her Alpha title, she had another thing coming.I was going to her. I was going to end this, one way or another."You're serious about this?" Marcus, one of the rogue leaders asked from across the room, his brows furrowed, eyes dark with concern. "You really want to strike Diamond Spark?""Dead serious," I muttered, folding the map and standing. The weight of my decision pressed against my spine, but I welco

Chapter: Chapter 93DexterThe knock came sharp and hard against my office door, snapping me out of the paperwork fog I’d been drowning in for the last hour. I didn’t look up."Come in," I muttered, voice low, strained. My fingers still hovered over the stack of reports I'd barely touched.The door creaked open. My gamma stepped in, eyes unreadable, jaw tight."You’re gonna want to hear this," he said.I sighed, finally leaning back in the chair, letting it creak under my weight. "Unless the packhouse is burning down, it can wait."He didn’t move. Didn’t flinch. That was enough to make me look up."What?"He tossed a sleek black envelope onto my desk. No insignia. No seal. Just a folded piece of weighty paper that already reeked of bullshit."It was delivered by one of ours. Said he found it pinned to the training gates this morning."I reached for it slowly, the tension in my chest already beginning to tighten. My fingers dragged it closer. The paper was thick, expensive. Whoever sent this had taste—or

Chapter: Chapter 92DexterWhen I stepped into the training grounds that morning, it was the silence that struck me first. The warriors were already assembled, standing in perfect formation, eyes locked straight ahead. There was a chill in the air, one that mirrored the cold settling in my chest. The quiet wasn’t peaceful—it was expectant, like the calm before a storm. And it made everything feel heavier.“Alpha,” my Gamma said as he approached, nodding his respect. “Everyone’s ready.”I didn’t answer right away. Just watched them—all of them waiting for something. Orders. A fight. Hope. Something I wasn’t sure I could give anymore. My grip on the reins had been too loose for too long. If I didn’t get it together, everything I’d fought for would start to slip through the cracks.“Begin,” I said simply.They moved as one, launching into drills with practiced efficiency. My eyes scanned the field, watching every movement—sword strikes, defensive shifts, the way their bodies responded to pressure. But my mi

Chapter: Chapter 91DexterThe first thing I noticed when I woke up was the cold. Not just the breeze drifting in through the cracked window or the chilled edge to the sheets clinging to my bare skin. No, this was deeper. Colder. A silence that settled under my ribs and wrapped around my bones. Aria was gone, and I felt it in a way that made the air too thick to breathe.I didn’t speak to anyone that morning.Not the guards waiting at my door, not the healers who’d hovered like vultures for the last week. I didn’t say a single word, not even when I stepped into the training grounds and the warriors lined up the moment they saw me.I knew they were watching me closely. Watching how I moved. Looking for signs of weakness, of injury, of anything that could mark me as less than the Alpha I used to be.They didn’t find any.Because if I was anything now, they say it am fucking ruthless, and I like that.I picked up the blade one of them offered me without a word, rolled my shoulders back, and got to work.

FORCED TO HAVE THE ALPHA’S BABY
“You think you own me because of your mark?” Celine spits.
Alaric cages her in, a dangerous smile on his lips. “No, little wolf. I own you because fate gave you to me.”
Her chest heaves. “One day, you’ll regret ever touching me.”
*****
Celine never wanted to be chosen.
Claimed and marked against her will, she’s locked in the Alpha’s breeding wing, his prisoner, his possession, his future heir-bearer. But Alaric Varkas didn’t expect the fire in her veins. She isn’t a fragile Omega. She’s power wrapped in defiance, and the more she resists, the more he burns for her.
Hate. Desire. Bond. Nothing between them is clean, but everything is dangerous. And when her wolf awakens, her hidden bloodline threatens to tear his kingdom apart.
Enemies circle, rebellion stirs, and Celine’s greatest secret becomes impossible to hide, she carries his child. A child both feared and hunted, one strong enough to unite packs or destroy them all.
Now Celine must decide: escape and watch the world burn behind her, or face the mate who caged her and rewrite the destiny that chained them together.

Chapter: Chapter 115AlaricWe are all in wolf form when we enter the bush, paws hitting the damp earth in heavy rhythm, branches snapping under our weight as we push deeper into the woods. The scent of my son is there, faint at first, like a thread barely holding together, but it is enough. It is enough to keep me moving, enough to keep my mind from going back to the way Celine looked when I left her standing in front of that empty crib.She looked hollow. Not crying, not screaming, just standing there like someone had reached inside her and switched something off.The thought claws at me as I run, my wolf snarling low in my chest, urging me faster, harder. I push the worry down because I cannot afford it right now. If I think too much about her, about the way her hands were shaking when I kissed her forehead and told her I would bring our son back, I might lose focus. And losing focus right now could cost my child his life.The scent gets thicker as we go, more familiar, more alive, and my heart starts

Chapter: Chapter 114CelineAs the rest of the pack celebrate, drink, and dance like nothing in the world could ever go wrong again, I slowly slip away from the noise. The laughter is loud, the music heavy, the scent of alcohol and excitement thick in the air, but none of it is reaching me anymore. My chest feels tight, uncomfortable, like I have stayed too long in a place that suddenly no longer belongs to me.I tell myself I am just being dramatic. I tell myself I am a new mother and new mothers imagine things all the time. Still, the feeling does not leave. It only grows heavier with every step I take away from the ceremony hall.The corridor leading to the nursery is quiet, too quiet compared to the chaos behind me. My footsteps echo softly, my dress brushing against my legs, my hands curling and uncurling at my sides. With every step, the thought repeats itself in my head, over and over again, like a broken chant.I heard him. I know I did.When I reach the nursery door and push it open, the room gre

Chapter: Chapter 113CelineIt’s been three months since I gave birth, three months since my body stopped feeling like it was tearing itself apart every time I breathed, and three months since I walked back into the Nightshade pack house with my child in my arms and Alaric at my side. The place still smells the same, wood and stone and something sharp underneath it all, like old dominance soaked into the walls, but it doesn’t feel the same anymore. Maybe that’s just me. Maybe it’s because I came back different, carrying a baby on my hip instead of chains around my throat.Cade was the one who came looking for Alaric.I remember the day clearly, the way the rogues stiffened when his scent hit the camp, the way hands instinctively went to weapons even though no one moved to attack him. He didn’t come in with threats or soldiers. He came alone, his shoulders tense, his expression tight like he already knew the conversation wouldn’t go the way he wanted.Nightshade had been attacked.Not a full-scale war, but

Chapter: Chapter 112CelineI wake up slowly, like I’m crawling out of something thick and heavy, and for a second I don’t even know where I am. My eyes blink against the dim light, and all I feel is this deep, dragging ache inside me, low in my belly and across my ribs. Everything feels sore, like my body has been torn apart and stitched back together the wrong way. I try to breathe properly, but even that hurts.Someone is holding my hand. Warm and steady. Too steady.I turn my head and see Alaric sitting on the floor beside the bed, completely drained, like he hasn’t slept for hours, maybe days. His eyes are swollen, red in a way I’m not used to seeing on him. His fingers are wrapped around mine like he’s scared I’ll disappear if he lets go for even one second.“You’re awake,” he whispers, like the sound might break me again.My voice barely works. “I… I’m alive.”He nods, but the way his throat moves tells me he’s trying not to cry. “You scared me,” he says quietly. “Celine, you really scared me.”I a

Chapter: Chapter 111AlaricThe moment her body slips in my arms, everything around me becomes noise I can barely understand. The screams, the crackling fire, the pounding of paws on soaked earth, all of it mixes into one long roar in my head. I keep calling her name, but she isn’t answering, and that alone is enough to make every part of me shake.Her blood is warm against my chest. Too warm. I can feel it seeping through my clothes, sticking them to my skin as if it’s trying to hold on to me. My hands won’t stop trembling, and I keep adjusting my grip like she’s made of something fragile, something that might fall apart if I run too hard or too slow."Celine, stay with me," I keep saying into her hair. My voice cracks every time I try to raise it. "Please look at me... just open your eyes for one second."She doesn’t move.Her head is slumped against my shoulder, her breathing shallow and dragging like every inhale hurts. The camp is burning behind us, flames reaching up like they want to swallow what’s

Chapter: Chapter 110CelineAs Alaric walks beside me, quiet, his presence a steadying shadow, but even that doesn’t fully calm the gnawing tension that’s been coiling in my chest all night.A distant howl splits the night, raw and urgent. I freeze, my hand pressing to my stomach instinctively. Alaric stiffens beside me, ears twitching, eyes scanning the trees. Another howl echoes, this one closer, angry, feral. My heart hammers.“They’re coming,” Alaric mutters, voice low but tense.I swallow hard, my throat dry, panic flaring. “Who? Who’s coming?”But the answer comes before he can speak—a blood-chilling scream, the unmistakable sound of someone being attacked. My legs move before my mind catches up, running toward the camp, each step jarring my swollen belly, each breath harsh and ragged. Alaric is at my side immediately, matching my pace, his hand brushing mine in a silent promise that he won’t let anything happen.The camp comes into view, flames licking the edges of tents and shouts cutting through
