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

Chapter: Chapter 80Aria It was quiet.A gentle stillness. The kind that wraps around you, settling deep in your bones until you start to believe you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. And lately, that’s how I felt around Dexter. Like I’d finally stopped running.Dinner had been simple. He cooked, shockingly. Grilled chicken, sautéed vegetables, nothing extravagant, but the way he stood there in the kitchen barefoot, sleeves rolled up, moving around like he didn’t have the weight of an entire pack on his shoulders—it made me ache.We didn’t talk much while we ate. Just small things. A few words here and there. But even that felt intimate. Like we didn’t need to fill the air with nonsense to feel close.He passed me the salt without asking. I handed him the last piece of bread before he reached for it. Our hands brushed, and for the briefest moment, we both froze. His eyes lifted to meet mine, and I saw something raw flicker behind them. Something that made my heart knock against my ribs.He looked at

Chapter: Chapter 79Aria I didn’t know what time it was. Didn’t care.The room smelled like sex, heat and Dexter. The sheets were tangled around our legs, and his chest was still rising and falling beside me, calm and steady. I listened to it like it was music — each breath grounding me, reminding me last night hadn’t been a dream.He’d said he wanted me.He said he liked me.I’d felt it, too. Every time his lips touched mine. Every time his hands claimed my body like it was something sacred.I didn’t know if it was love yet — maybe it was too soon. But it wasn’t just sex. It wasn’t just missing each other. It was something real. Something dangerous. Something addictive.His fingers slid lazily across my waist. “You’re staring again.”“You’re naked in my bed, I think I’m allowed to look.”He smirked, then leaned over and kissed the tip of my nose. “Not complaining.”I pushed at his shoulder. “You’re not staying in bed all day.”He raised a brow. “Says who?”“Says your Gamma, and your workload, and the t

Chapter: Chapter 78DexterI hadn't been home in two damn weeks. Not because I didn’t want to, but because everything went to shit the moment Rio was stripped of his title.Even though he passed down every damn document and handled the transition like a professional, his absence was loud. Deafening. The office felt strange without his dry sarcasm or the way he read through reports faster than anyone else. I’d been buried in work with my Gamma since then—staring at files, attending meetings, signing off projects that I normally wouldn’t have to touch.Tonight was no different. It was past midnight, and I was still staring at my laptop, neck stiff, eyes burning.I exhaled and tilted my head side to side until it popped. My eyes burned, That mark on my neck—the one that tied me to Aria—it pulsed faintly. A low burn. Subtle, but constant. My wolf wanted her. I want her.Maybe Rio had been right all along.There was always something about that girl— She got under my skin. Even when I was married to Sophia, ev

Chapter: Chapter 77AriaThe tension in the room was unbearable. Not the awkward, surface-level kind. No, this was a thick, choking silence—the kind that stuck to the walls and wrapped around your throat. We were all seated in the living room, but no one was relaxed. No one even moved. The air was heavy with judgment, and I could feel the weight of every unspoken word pressing down on my skin. My chest was tight. Sophia sat beside Rio, looking smaller than I’d ever seen her, despite the mess she’d caused. Dexter was across from them, his face blank, unreadable, but I could see the storm behind his eyes.Then the door opened.Alpha Wren walked in, his presence massive even before he said a word. I’d seen dominant alphas before, but Wren? He was something else. He didn’t speak right away—he just stood there, eyes scanning the room like a predator picking out prey. His jaw was clenched so tightly I could hear the strain in his neck.Dexter stood up, formal. Cold. "Thanks for coming, Wren."Wren didn’t respo

Chapter: Chapter 76DexterI watched my mother slam the door to my room, her face stormy and unreadable. I was already awake, just lying there, trying to get a grip on the dizziness still crawling under my skin from whatever the fuck Sophia had given me. That and the aftertaste of her mark. I could still feel the sting of it.I hadn’t even processed the mess in my head when the door banged open again.My mother marched in first, her heels clicking angrily across the floor. Behind her trailed Aria, looking stiff and silent, then Rio, jaw clenched, and finally Sophia—a complete wreck. She was already crying, the sobs loud and messy like she wanted to drown the whole room in guilt."Dexter! Please! Please listen to me, I can explain!" she wailed, falling to her knees before I even had time to sit up properly.I blinked at her."Explain what?" I asked coldly. "What the fuck am I forgiving you for, Sophia?"My mother didn’t give her the chance to answer."They were caught together," she said flatly, eyes not

Chapter: Chapter 75AriaI knew it was going to be a rough day the moment I heard her heels clicking against the polished floor. Dexter's mother had just returned from her trip, and if I thought the woman hated me before, today proved she had barely begun.I walked down the hallway, trying to avoid drawing attention to myself. My body still ached from the aftermath of the attack, and my mind wasn’t exactly in the best place. But when I saw her, standing tall with a hard expression and cold eyes, I knew she saw me first. Her gaze raked over me like I was dirt."You're still alive," she sneered, folding her arms. "Pity. I hoped you'd be dead. Seems my son has grown too soft."I paused, blinking slowly. I wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of seeing me flinch."Good morning to you too," I said quietly, even managing a faint smile.Before she could answer, voices echoed from a nearby hallway. Raised. Heated. Familiar.Rio.And Sophia.I stopped walking. So did Dexter’s mother.Their voices got louder.
