CHAPTER SIX ZARA I feel different immediately I wake up. I lay still on the bed for a few seconds and stared at the ceiling. Alex is gone. He prefers to leave before I wake up, or to pretend to be deeply asleep. My body feels lighter, and my senses feel sharpened. Something is different, in a good way. I stand up, determined to get to the bottom of it, then I smell it. My scent is different. It smelled like me, like herbs, clean earth, but also something deeply soft. Oh, Goddess! My hand move to my belly before I can stop it. Hope blooms in my chest like a butterfly. I close my eyes, force myself to focus, and I finally hear it. I hear the second heartbeat. A second rhythm, very quiet, but real. A baby. I’m having a baby. A baby! I sit down on the bed, stunned to silence. I am having a baby. Alex’s baby. His heir. The future of the Pack. My future. I keep my hand on my belly, a smile crawling onto my face. This is a new beginning for us all. I am bursting at the seams from

CHAPTER FIVE ZARA Every month, we hold an internal showcase where herbal remedies, new weapons and other advancements are presented and celebrated. I’ve been working on some herbal remedies, but I've decided to take a break this time. I was sceptical when the healers informed me Selene would be presenting. Where did she find the time to create a herbal remedy? I didn’t want to turn her away because it would be spiteful of me, so I agreed. Now, I sit beside my husband, watching her present her supposed creation. “This is a set of herbal remedies and treatment plans that I created. I did adequate research on it. I hope you like it as much as I do.” She says, cutely, and I lean forward, intrigued. Then, she begins, and my mouth parts in surprise. She’s presenting my work. I recognise every single aspect of it. Every line, ratio, and observation down to the smallest detail. It took me three months to refine. I spent countless nights on it. There were a lot of failed trials, adjustm

ALPHA ALEX – POINT OF VIEW“You have mistaken guilt for duty.”My mother’s voice cuts through the silence like a blade.I look at her, tapping my fingers impatiently on the table. I should have known this was why she came.“I am busy, Mother.”“Busy?” She glances around, irritated. “Busy doing what? All you do is look at that woman, while your wife handles the business of the Pack. Zara does everything. The Moon Goddess blessed her with skills unlike any other, and she chose to help us. She heals, she mends, she settles disputes. She’s patient, she’s kind—but she is not a fool.”“I don’t want to talk about this.”“You will listen.” Her glare could flatten mountains. “We all understand what you sacrificed for the Pack. Yes, you loved Selene. But Zara is divine intervention—not just for you, but for all of us. The Moon Goddess chose her. It is your duty to honor this bond.”“I have honored it.” My shoulders tighten. “I married Zara. Traditional wedding. Consummated marriage. I do my dut

CHAPTER THREEZARAI stopped myself before the word mistress left my mouth.But he heard it anyway.His expression hardened.“If you have something to say, say it properly.”I stood from the bed too quickly, anger rushing through me so fast it almost made me dizzy.“Fine,” I snapped. “You want honesty? Then tell me what exactly you expect from me, Alex. Because I am trying very hard to understand how humiliating me has somehow become part of my duties as Luna.”“That is not what this is.”He stared at me for a long moment before speaking.“You are overreacting.”Something inside me cracked quietly at how easily he said it.“She has a gift,” he continued, voice colder now. “She was gentle with that child yesterday. Her instincts are natural. Unlike yours, her abilities are not something meant to be commercialized. They should be nurtured.”The words landed harder than shouting would have.Commercialized.I almost could not breathe for a second.I spent every day healing injured wolves

ZaraLast night, Alex stood before the entire Pack and declared that Selene had returned, that she was family, and that everyone would look after her.“Especially you, Luna Zara.”I did not understand then that what he meant was not responsibility, but permission.Selene moved in this morning.Not into the Pack house itself. It would have been too obvious, too easy to question.Instead, he gave her the guest cottage.Fifty feet from our bedroom window.Close enough that I could see her arrival from behind the curtain, servants moving in and out in an organized rhythm, carrying trunks, dress bags, and sealed boxes that suggested she had not come to visit, but to settle.And when she finally came to me, it did not feel like a visit either.“I hope you don’t mind,” she said as she stepped inside without waiting for an answer, her eyes already moving past me as if I were part of the furniture rather than the room. “The cottage is lovely, but the water pressure is terrible. I thought I’d j

CHAPTER ONEZARAHis tie is the first thing I notice.Green.Not the silver one my maids prepared to match my dress for the Pack’s annual Moon Festival.During the festival, the Alpha and Luna always wore matching colors. It was one of the oldest traditions in the Pack, a symbol of unity, stability, and harmony blessed by the Moon Goddess herself.I stare at him from across the bedroom mirror. “You’re supposed to wear the silver tie, Alex.”He adjusts his cufflinks without looking at me. “I misplaced it.”“You could have told me earlier.” My fingers smooth unconsciously over the silver silk clinging to my waist. “I would’ve changed.”“That won’t be necessary.”The answer comes too quickly. Too sharply.“We’re already late.”Something feels wrong.Alex rarely explains himself to me, but tonight there is tension in the rigid line of his shoulders, in the way he avoids my eyes as though even looking at me for too long is exhausting.I study him quietly while my maids finish pinning the l
