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 54AriaIt was a setup. A well-orchestrated, smug little trap, and I fucking knew it the second I walked into that goddamn room.Sophia had invited me—no, summoned me—to serve drinks at the private dinner the pack was having that night. Warriors, high ranks, a few chosen family members. I wasn’t stupid. I knew what this was. She wanted to parade herself next to Dexter like she’d already won, like the seat beside him meant something permanent. Like I was the fucking outsider now.I didn’t plan on reacting. Not visibly. Not in a way that would give her the satisfaction of knowing she’d gotten under my skin. But the second my eyes locked on Dexter at the far end of the table, something twisted inside me. Not just irritation. Not just jealousy. Something uglier. Something I didn’t want to admit still existed.He looked relaxed, leaned back in his chair, arm thrown casually over the backrest like he owned the room. Which, of course, he did. Sophia sat beside him, clinging to his arm like a le

Chapter: Chapter 53DexterI should’ve been relieved.Everything was fucking sorted. The engagement was official, the press was eating it up, Sophia was walking around like the Luna she was now, and my mother could finally shut the fuck up.But instead of peace, all I felt was this itch crawling under my skin.Restless. Pissed. Frustrated.And it wasn’t the media, it wasn’t Sophia, and it sure as hell wasn’t my mother’s smug face that had my blood boiling.Every time I caught Aria in the same room as Sophia, smiling politely, saying the right words, acting like none of this shit was burning her from the inside, I wanted to smash something.She was too fucking calm.Too composed.Like she didn’t care. Like she wasn’t watching the man she was mated to get handed over to another woman on a silver fucking platter.It made me want to tear shit apart.What the fuck was she playing at?She’d started this war. She was the one who walked in with that mouth, that fire, that don’t-give-a-damn attitude and flipped m

Chapter: Chapter 52Aria Sophia didn’t waste a fucking second.The wedding was barely over. The scent of wilting flowers still lingered in the corridors, petals crushed into the cracks of the courtyard stone, and already Sophia was parading herself around the packhouse like she owned the damn place. Luna robes. Luna smirk. Luna entitlement. It all clung to her like perfume, choking the air I breathed. Every hallway I turned down, every room I entered—she was there. Like a stain I couldn’t scrub out.I knew it was coming.I had prepared myself for this. For her victory lap. For the backhanded comments dressed in sweet smiles. For the sideways glances. For the whispers that would follow me down the hall like shadows. I knew Sophia. And I knew she wouldn’t be satisfied until I was six feet under or crawling at her feet.Neither was happening."Aria," she said sweetly, appearing at the back of the pack house where I usually sit like a damn storm cloud wrapped in satin. Her hair was curled, pinned up like sh

Chapter: Chapter 51Aria News about Dexter and Sophia’s wedding spread like wildfire, igniting every corridor of the packhouse, every corner of the training grounds, every whispered conversation in the kitchens. I pretended not to hear. Not to care. I smiled when they expected me to. I did my chores, trained with the others, and acted like everything was normal. Like the sound of Sophia’s name next to his didn’t make my stomach twist into a thousand tight knots.But the truth was, I was anything but normal.This pack wasn't mine. It never was. I came here with revenge in my heart and fire in my veins. My father had betrayed Dexter. My mother helped him cover it. And Dexter had killed them both. I watched my life go up in flames, then I followed the ashes straight to his territory. My plan was simple—get my sister out, get even.But the moon goddess had a fucking sense of humor.We were fated. Mates.The kind of cruel twist that would make anyone question destiny.Dexter didn’t know when I first got here

Chapter: Chapter 50Dexter I wasn’t in the fucking mood for guests. Not today. Not when my mind was an overloaded mess and I couldn’t even finish a single damn thought without slamming into a wall called Aria. But the knock on my office door wasn’t the kind of tap you ignored. Sharp. Controlled. Entitled.Only one person knocked like that in this pack.“Come in,” I said, already bracing myself.The door opened, and sure enough, my mother stepped inside like she owned the goddamn air in the room. She didn’t wait to be invited, didn’t even glance around like she gave a fuck who might be in here. No. She walked with her usual quiet authority, long dress brushing the polished floor, her presence somehow managing to shift the entire room’s energy.I stood without thinking. It wasn’t out of fear. It was muscle memory. Respect. That was the only person on earth who ever got that from me without earning it.“You look like hell,” she said as she placed her clutch on the table. Her voice was sharp but smooth, lik

Chapter: Chapter 49AriaI could feel it—the way the air had shifted between me and Dexter. It was not subtle either. It was no longer merely a shadow, an unending presence that annoyingly creeped into my life; it had finally become a force that I could not escape. The way his eyes lingered over me, the way his temper flared when my name was mentioned, kept me on edge in a way that I couldn't seem to shake off.It was as if he was watching me, yes, but he was also the fact that I couldn't do anything about it. I had tried to convince myself it was nothing—just a passing interest, a fluke—but deep down, I knew. I knew Dexter. I knew what happened when a man like him set his sights on someone. He didn’t let go easily.And then there was Sophia.For goddess's sake, she was a mess. I could see the panic in her eyes every time Dexter looked at me. I wasn’t stupid. It wasn’t just the casual glances anymore. There was something more beneath the surface, something darker. I could practically hear the wheels turn
