Chapter: Chapter 70DexterI felt her.Not in the casual sense. Not in a way I could shake off or pretend didn’t matter. It hit me deep in my bones—right through the mark we once shared. The bond I thought had dulled over time snapped tight around my chest, choking me with the weight of her distress.I was pacing the fucking living room when it started. That unbearable pull. My skin prickled, and I swear, I could smell her from miles away. Not just her usual scent—but something more dangerous, more intense.Heat.My cock stirred immediately like a damn traitor, hardening in my pants before my brain could even catch up.“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath, running a hand through my hair.I shouldn’t go to her. I knew that.She made it clear—no more fucking, no more sneaking around, not after I got married. But this—this wasn’t just lust. It was something primal, something feral. Her wolf was calling out to me. Screaming for me. And mine? He was already halfway out the fucking door.I tried. I tried to resi

Chapter: Chapter 69AriaI didn’t sleep. I couldn’t.My skin was on fire. My throat dry. Every breath I took felt like it scratched the inside of my chest. I tossed. Turned. Sat. Lay back down. Nothing worked. The heat was crawling under my skin like ants, biting at me from the inside out. It didn’t help that his scent lingered. Every corner of the house held it—Dexter. I could smell him, like smoke that clung after a fire. Strong. Male. Warm. And I hated that it made my thighs clench together.What the fuck was happening to me?I pressed my palm to my chest, like I could calm the fluttering heartbeat that wouldn’t slow down. My wolf stirred. Restless. Annoyed. She growled whenever she caught a whiff of him. Her growls weren’t angry, no. They were... impatient. Wanting. Desperate. And it scared me.Because I knew what this was.I fucking knew.But I didn’t want to admit it.I dragged myself out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. Splashed cold water on my face. Stared at my reflection for a long ti

Chapter: Chapter 68DexterCoincidence? Hardly, something like that could never be a coincidence.Aria wasn’t clumsy. I’d watched her. Every move she made was calculated, quiet. She moved like someone trained to disappear into corners, not someone who randomly tripped and fell down stairs. And now? Now she was limping around like someone ran over her leg and everyone was calling it a fucking accident?Bullshit.I didn’t say anything that night. I didn’t lose my temper. I didn’t yell. I just watched.When she stood up from the couch and tried to walk, I saw it—she winced. She didn’t want me to see it, but I did. That’s when I’d told her to follow me, and I didn't ask. I didn’t care if she wanted to or not.She didn’t argue. That told me everything I needed to know.And now here I was, standing in the hall outside the healer’s wing, hands folded behind my back like I was calm. I wasn’t. My blood had been boiling since I saw the bruises forming on her back, her shoulder, the angry swelling around her ankle.

Chapter: Chapter 67AriaIt was supposed to be just another quiet evening. I wasn’t even planning to stay long downstairs. I only wanted water. That was it. Just a glass of cold water to drown the dry lump in my throat. The halls were dim, lit by the faint amber glow of the wall lamps. Silent. Still. Peaceful. I should've known better. Nothing stays peaceful for too long around here.My feet padded softly on the wooden floor. I didn’t make eye contact with anyone. I didn't speak to the maid that passed me by on the landing either. I didn’t even get the chance to.She bumped into me hard. Too hard. And the next thing I knew, my foot missed a step.Then everything just... slipped.My body tilted forward and time slowed. The gasp never even made it past my throat. My hand reached for the banister that was already too far. My chest clenched. My head spun. The sharp crack of my back hitting the wooden steps echoed in my ears, then another slam of my shoulder, then my hip. Pain flared, white-hot and sharp. I

Chapter: Chapter 66DexterI saw them before they saw me.From across the yard, past the training grounds, Aria stood with Rio. Laughing. Genuinely laughing. Her body wasn’t stiff like it usually was. She wasn't guarding herself like she did around everyone else—including me. And Rio... he wasn’t his usual tight-lipped, unbothered self either. He actually looked like he was trying to talk to her, not at her. It wasn’t the usual hostility I was used to seeing from him when her name came up.It made me slow down.Not because I was angry. Not because I was jealous. Just... surprised.Rio hated Aria. At least, that’s what he made sure everyone believed. He was one of the loudest voices against her being here when we took her in. Said she was dangerous. Said I was being reckless. I remember him snapping in my face once, telling me I was risking our pack for a girl who didn’t belong.And now he was standing there... talking to her. And she was laughing. Actually laughing.I hadn’t seen her like that in weeks.

Chapter: Chapter 65AriaI had just stepped out of the pack house. My head was pounding and I needed air—desperately. The sun was out, but it felt colder than usual. Maybe it was the war brewing inside me, or the damn silence that had stretched between Dexter and me after that kiss. Whatever it was, it clung to my skin like a warning, like something was about to fall apart and I wouldn’t be able to hold it together this time.I wasn’t expecting to run into Rio. Not so soon. Not like this.He was leaning against the far end of the training ground wall, arms folded, that same hard expression on his face that made most people avoid him. But not me. I’d seen worse. Been through worse. The second I noticed him watching me, I knew he’d come with questions. I just didn’t expect him to corner me like he had the right.“You know, I thought you’ll be using what you saw to blackmail me,” he said without moving. His voice was calm. Way too calm for the weight of what he was asking.I didn’t stop walking. If he wante

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
