“The new crown princess is……” the announcer paused for a second “Theresa of the Eastern Quarter.”The villagers and elders started applauding her as she walked over“Bow your head, Crown Princess.”The voice was firm.Cold.Commanding.Theresa gave a faint smile and quietly lowered her head But only physically.Inside, her wolf purred.I bow now… so i can make them bow later.A hand lifted her chin.“Look at me.”She did.It was James standing before her.The Alpha.The Future king.The man she once begged to see is now in front of her Now he was looking at her like… duty.Nothing more.“From this moment,” he said, his voice steady “You are bound to the throne. You will carry its honor. Its burdens. Its legacy.”Theresa nod in agreement.“And you?” she asked. “Will you carry me?”A brief silence. James stared directly into her eyes. She has no fear Then“I will protect you as my Luna.” He said Not love.Not want.Not choose.Protect.Her smile deepened.“How generous of you, Alp

I didn’t know when it happened, when affection turned into something deeper. It is not dramatic nor does it announce itself I felt uneasy but one thing I know for sure is that my heart beats whenever I am with him.It grew slowly and quietly, between mornings and nights, between laughters and shared silences.Dan sat across me at the small table, feeding Aiden my son a mashed fruits, making weird and funny faces until Aiden squeals. I watched happily, armed folded, my heart filled in a way that scared me.“You are spoiling him,” I said softly.Dan grins in joy. “That’s my job”I stood up and walked towards him, brushing my fingers against his shoulders as I lean down to kiss my baby’s cheek. Aiden smells like peace, happiness and home.Home.This word settles strangely in my heart.Later that night, when the city made low, steady continuous sound outside the windows and my son deep asleep between us, Dan turned to me.“You’ve been smiling more lately,” he says.I breathed softly.

He placed his hands on mine, I adjusted gently in discomfort, separating my hands from his and tightening around the handle of the seat. He sat in opposite direction facing me, eyes steady and unpleasant for me.“You don’t have to look at me that way,” i muttered, breaking the silence first.His lips moved at the corner. “What way?”“As if I am damaged like you’ll break me if you speak out loud.”“Maybe you are,” he said in a low tune. “You’ve been broken before.”My chest raced at the truth buried in his tone. “And you think you can heal me?”“It’s not about healing you, Leah. I just want to stand where no one else did when you shattered.”My breath skipped a beat. Why did he always say things that seize my past defenses?. I thought to myself.I forced myself to laugh bitterly. “That’s rich. A Beta who plays hero for an Omega no one wanted.”“You think I see you as less?” He came closer, his voice smooth. “I see you as everything I’ve been searching for.”I stared suddenly to the flo

The bulb lights above me blurred my vision as my body convulsed. Nurses screamed, different hands held onto my arms tight, but I only heard the voice echoing: “Your life or the child’s? Choose Leah.”I wept, rubbing hands on my swollen belly. “I can’t choose. I can’t… he’s all I have.”The doctor’s voice was sharp. “Without the fee, we can’t undergo this surgery. You and your child will die if you wait.”The doors to the ward shut open. A tall muscular handsome wolf came in, his presence was with power yet calm. His voice slide through the situation.“I’ll pay. Whatever the cost is. I’ll pay”Heads turned in surprise. The doctor looked at him confused. “Sir?”“I said I’ll cover the bill. Perform the surgery. Now!!”My weak and teary eyes widened as i recognized him. “Y-you? Dan? Why… why are you here?”Dan came closer, his kind grey eyes meeting mine. “You don’t have to know why. Just hold strong.”Dan brought out a credit card from his wallet. “Take your charge, and begin the surgery

“This can’t be.” A heavy taught weighed me down as I straightened on the floor, looking at the broken glass bottles on the floor. “I can’t tell him. He’ll never want this child.” I whispered to myself as my hands trembled.I gave in a heavy thought. “He won’t believe me. He’ll think it’s just a way to get back to him.”My wolf blend. But it’s his child.My lips trembled. “No… it’s also mine. My baby. And I’ll protect it, even if it costs me everything.”I stood up suddenly, walking back and forth in my room. “I’ll flee. Tonight. I’ll not take a thing but only what I can transport. He’ll never hear of this.”I heard a knock at the door. “Leah, are you in there?” It was Maren, my neighbor.I swallowed hard. “Yes, I’m in here.” As I walked towards the door and let her in.“You look pale. Are you feeling ill again?”“I’m fine,” i lied. “Just… tired.”“Hmm. You’ve been ‘tired’ for weeks, you need to give yourself a rest. Don’t let the Alpha discover you’re loosen. He shows to mercy to Om

The cloud was heavy, I can hear the sound of my heartbeat in pains for him not to say the words I see through his eyes. “Don’t,” I said in a tiny voice, my voice shaking. “Please, James… don’t do this to me.”He stared at me, His gaze hardens, a wicked rime settling over Whats was once warm.“From this day, you are no mate of mine.” James Cantu, Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack, said as his hands tightens not to hurt but to silence.The words were intense, cold, and pierced through the great lobby like claws across stone.“Is this real? I’m I dreaming?” My lips tremble slightly, my breath caught in my throat as i stammered. “You… you.. reject me?”“Yes, this bond ends now.” He responded, his voice was steady and his eyes were focused, no blinking nor darting but his angry words were spat through clenched teeth as he stared directing towards the opposite angle. “I don’t want you. You’re a looser. Too young. A weak Omega has no place beside me.”My hands quiver, but i forced them into fis
