KAEL’S POV Seven days, seven nights since I stepped into my own house, I didn’t regret I should have just been careful for the baby. It's all because of the baby.

The only people who deserve to love and be loved are those who know what love means and have felt it from family. No woman can carry my child, no woman even dared to breathe in the same space as I, except Selena and Ava. “Alpha,” Jayden’s voice came calm and steady with the usual sly smile he always had on. He stepped in. It had been a week since we both spoke like friends the way we used to, I buried myself in work, 2 hours of sleep per day and just black coffee. It was just like old times before she appeared in my life. The care and tenderness I had for her were all because of the baby. She didn’t really matter, but the baby had to be sound and s

My eyes went round to take in the contents of the room.Everything screamed torture.For a moment, I was terrified, while the other I anticipated."What was that with Jayden?" He took a step closer, and I took one backwards until my back hit the door."He was just being kind." I defended, rolling my eyes at him."He's my Beta, you're not allowed to flirt with him, you're mine." He warned, gripping my left arm with force."Flirt?" I scoffed. " He tucked my hair behind my ear because it was clouding my vision. Are you going to rip his arm off for a simple act of courtesy? You might be the Alpha King, but you don't own me, and you certainly do not dictate who I can speak or not speak to."His eyes blazed with fury, and he closed the distance between us, caging me w

AUTHOR'S POV “Kael,” Ava began, clearing her throat softly. “We… we need to talk about that night.” “That night? What about that night?” He smirked, “I thought we had talked about that night, Ava. Extensively. ” “No, we didn't,” she insisted. “Not that part of the night. Not the part where you… we… You know.” Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "Then what part?" Ava took a deep breath; this was the moment. “You were there,” she stated, “You were working. As a bartender." “Ava,” he finally said, his voice gentle, “I was not a bartender.” Her jaw dropped, "What? But… but you were! I saw you! You were wiping down the counter, pouring drinks for people, you even gave me a drink." Her cheeks heat up as the memory of her drunken state came back to her mind, and she stopped speaking. "You're right about that." His smile deepened.“But you are quite mistaken about my profession that night, little one.” “It is one of my many hideouts and often… a good place to gather informat

KAEL'S POV "Selena!" I exclaimed in frustration. I finally had time to talk things out with Ava, and she was here to ruin it all, the wonderful moment we could have had if she hadn't interrupted. Selena stood in front of the door, arms folded, back against the wall. " Selena, what?" She retorted, and I detached myself from Ava's embrace. " Leave Selena," I commanded, but I knew how adamant Selena could be, she wouldn't back down, at least not easily. " Leave? No, I should introduce myself to the new toy around." Selena commented while Ava just watched both of us exchange words. " I'm Selena, and I'm his chosen mate and future Luna of this pack. I'm also the strongest warrior in the pack, and we have been together since we were kids, which implies that we are childhood sweethearts." Selena introduced herself to Ava, and I stared at her with my mouth wide open. I never for once realized that I was childhood sweethearts with Selena, not until she said we were, and that's Se

Aria POVI stared at Zachary,v"She had something that I needed at the moment," he said."Is that all?" I frowned, of course he would brush it off, like he always did.Why did I even place my hopes so high thinking he was going to reveal anything to me?The truth of the matter seems more like a secret between Zachary and Athena, thinking about it, I realized Quinn might not know what that secret his, so asking him was of no use.."Definitely," he replied, calm as ever."Oh really," I shot back, crossing my arms."Lovely Aria, I love you and only you. I didn't marry Athena because of love. I married her because she possessed what others didn't have." He paused, his eyes softening, like he wanted to avoid offending me, "With this... let's put an end to the conversation about Athena."He leaned in and pecked my lips. I bit his bottom lip, hard, enough to push him away.He pulled away, shook his head with a small smile. Then he stood up, walked out of the gym, and left me there alone."Rea

Aria POV I waited for Zachary to speak. His face stayed blank at first, eyes far away. Then he started laughing loud, it irritated me, I clenched my fist hoping I could throw him a punch. This wasn't funny. Not even close to funny. "Zachary, I'm serious," I said. "I'm not here for jokes." "Right... right," he said, he paused, thinking for a long moment, rubbing his neck. "I do feel the same way though," he added. "Quinn will never take the initiative to talk to me. I'm always the one teasing him and getting on his nerves to receive a response." "Exactly," I replied. "Now you get it. He never starts the conversations. It's always you pushing." "Yeah, I see that now," he said. The breath I had been holding in escaped. "This only makes things simple," I told him. "In what way is that?" he asked, leaning forward. "If he really isn't Quinn, I should get the prenup papers quick and have them destroyed before he ever gets to lay his hands on them," I explained. Zachary's eyebrows s

Aria POV I stepped into the gym, Zachary sat on the bench, his shirt wet, definitely with sweat, he was breathing heavily. I walked over, bottle of water in my hand, and held it out to him. Then I sat right beside him. "Hey, my love," he said, taking the bottle and wiping sweat from his forehead with a face towel. He looked stunning, eye catching, the top he wore was glued to his chest, that alone made his abs revealing. "Damn." I scratched the back of my ear, my eyes still glued on him, I couldn't resist him, now I know why he still has numerous ladies fawning over him, despite his cold attitude, Athena was no exception. I smiled a little, bothered and curious at the same time.I jumped straight in. "What's up with your wife?" He lowered the bottle slowly. "What's up with her?" His fingers tightened around the bottle. "Her butt." I let out a small laugh, trying to keep it normal and not overdo things. He rolled his eyes and leaned forward. "She claims she did it for me. Went

Aria I stood there, frozen in place.Quinn. Of all people, it was Quinn who turned around. I had walked in expecting to see Athena, or maybe her friend, Madonna. Not him Shock washed over me, I wanted to step back, but I couldn’t, I had to pretend everything was perfectly fine. I forced my face to stay calm. I acted like I had just arrived, like I didn't hear the conversation at all. The only question in my mind was, Why? Why would he drug Zach? Quinn looked at me closely. His eyes searched my face for any sign that I knew something. I met his gaze. “Did you hear anything?” he asked. I shook my head slowly. “No, I didn’t.” I lied, I feigned ignorance, smiling just a little to convince him. My voice sounded normal, but inside, I was screaming. He stepped closer and held my arms gently. “Let’s go back to the party,” he said. I nodded quickly, too quickly. “Of course, of course.” Athena POV I stepped out of the car, exactly two weeks after Kleopatra's engagement party. My h

Aria POV I needed Kleopatra's help right away. My hands shook as I held the phone to my ear. "I need you to help me out. Distract Athena. Make sure she doesn't get back upstairs.""What the fuck did you just do?" Kleopatra yelled."Just help me out, okay." I pleaded. I ended the call before she could say more. I turned to Zachary. He looked out of this world, his eyes were still bloodshot, "Go into the bathroom and take a bath," I urged him gently.He staggered a little. Worry hit me fast. I stepped close and put my hands on his waist to support him. I helped him toward the bathroom door. I hated seeing him like this.My phone rang again. Kleopatra. "Where exactly are you?" she asked, her tone sharp, annoyance.I lowered my voice and leaned towards Zachary. "Zachary, do you perhaps know where we are?"."Seventh floor, third room by the left," he answered.I called Kleopatra back and told her the details. How did Zachary know that? I had no idea, but I didn't have time to think abou

Aria POVI felt a strong hand wrap around my wrist and pull me into one of the rooms before I could even turn around. The warmth of that touch told me everything. It was Zachary."What the heck are you doing?" I yanked my hand free and stepped back, staring at him."I need you, desperately." His voice came out hoarsely, he blinked slowly, like he was fighting to stay focused, then locked the door."Were you drugged?" I asked, searching his face."No. I just need you." He moved closer."I'm feeling so hot." He grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled it over his head in one quick move. His chest rose and fell at intervals. Even without the shirt, he still looked restless, like nothing could cool him down.I knew this wasn’t normal Zachary. The man I knew always kept some control, especially after he learned I was pregnant. He never let himself go too far. But right now, his eyes bored into my body like he couldn’t hold back."Hey, easy with the baby," I said softly, trying to remind
