Losing My Voice, I Got Pregnant by the Wrong Man
Alora Hale lost her voice five years ago.
By the time she realized it, her husband had already replaced her.
Silenced by an accident and slowly erased from her own marriage, Alora lives quietly beside a man who no longer sees value in her— until the night he sends her to a hotel under false pretenses and sells her body for profit.
She escapes.
But that survival leaves her with something she never expected.
Pregnant by a stranger who vanishes without a trace, Alora is divorced, stripped of her child, and cast out with nothing into a city that rewards power and devours the weak. Determined to destroy her devilish husband, she begins hunting for the only person capable of crushing him.
Morningstar.
The most feared businessman in the city; the kind of man whose absence can collapse markets. Morningstar is stunning, untouchable, unapproachable, and rumored to be incapable of attachment.
He is also the last man Alora ever expected to find… and the father of her unborn child.
Bound together by a secret neither of them planned, Alora is pulled into Morningstar’s world under a strict contract— one that might dissolve into live love or chaos.
In the end, secrets would be unraveled and betrayals would surface as the quiet woman everyone underestimated begins her rise.
Because when a woman who has lost everything decides to fight back, she doesn’t beg.
She destroys.

Chapter: Chapter 43 ~ Disruption of Order{Alora’s POV}The wardrobe was larger than I had expected.Rows of suits lined the space in perfect order— dark shades, clean cuts, everything arranged with a precision that felt almost obsessive. Black, charcoal, deep navy; the fabrics were expensive. Their tailoring was sharp, every piece seemingly belonging to a man who understood structure.And refused variation.I glanced back at him and made a small gesture.“Nice.”Morningstar didn’t react.His expression stayed neutral, like I had just commented on the weather… and he hated weather topics. I turned back now and started pulling things out.A jacket shifted. A shirt followed. Then another. I moved through the rack, scanning, comparing, ignoring the pattern he had clearly spent time maintaining. I poured so many things out.“You’re making a mess,” he said after a moment. I reached for my phone.“Don’t stress,” he added. “You want to give a witty response.” He identify and I paused.Then gave him a thumbs up.He wasn’t wrong.I

Chapter: Chapter 42 ~ Fun Chaos{Alora’s POV}The kitchen fell quiet when we walked in.Not completely though. The low hum of activity remained— cutlery, movement, the faint sound of something simmering, but it shifted. Heads turned, conversations dipped, and attention gathered without being obvious about it.Morningstar didn’t acknowledge any of it.He walked in like he belonged there. Like he understood the space without needing to prove it.I followed.Ingredients were already being arranged on the counter. Pasta. Fresh herbs. Butter. Cream. The basics— and then some.I watched him as he got to his axis. He didn’t hesitate.He reached for what he needed without asking. Measured without checking. And moved like this wasn’t new to him, like this wasn’t a performance.That… surprised me.“Well,” Sebastian announced from behind us, clapping his hands together. “As the official referee of this historic event—”“You appointed yourself,” Morningstar said without looking at him.“I was clearly the most qualified,” Sebast

Not anywhere near this part of my life.So… instinct took over immediately. I needed to leave.I began to turn slowly, careful not to draw attention, careful not to make it obvious. The hallway was quiet, and the smallest movement could give me away. If she looked up at the wrong moment, if she caught even a glimpse, she—“Alora?”My name stopped me and I froze.A second passed.Then, “Alora.”I turned and she was staring at me now.For a moment, neither of us moved. Then her lips curved, and she started walking toward me.“What are you doing here?” she asked, her gaze already moving over me, taking everything in as she got to me. Her eyes dropped to my shirt: The stain. A faint smile followed.“Oh,” she said lightly. “I see.”She tilted her head.“You came to apply for cleaning work?” she continued, stepping closer. “Or did t

Chapter: Chapter 40 ~ Shifting{Alora’s POV}Celeste’s hand slipped around my arm before I could react.“Welcome on board,” she said, her voice warm, her smile effortless.Anyone watching would believe her.Her grip was light and almost familiar, as if this had always been the way between us. She guided me forward, walking beside me as we entered the glass doors of Meridian Tower.The lobby opened around us in polished marble and controlled movement. Security shifted subtly at the sight of Morningstar behind us, clearing a path without needing instruction.Celeste didn’t slow down.If anything, she moved faster.Her arm tightened slightly around mine as she pulled me ahead of the others, just enough to separate me from the entourage without making it obvious.Her smile faded then.“Once again, you’ve crossed a line,” she said quietly as we kept walking.Her voice remained calm, measured, controlled.“This is my world!” she continued. “And everything here answers to me before it ever reaches him.”Her fingers presse

Not to her.The silence stretched, and something in her expression shifted, not into calm, but into something tighter. Something sharper. I sighed due to my incoming exhaustion.“How?” she demanded but her voice wasn’t loud, but it carried something unstable beneath it now.I remained still, so her brows pulled together.“How did you make this… happen?! she repeated, this time with more volume.Still, I said nothing.That was when she rose to her feet. “I’ve worked beside him for years,” she continued, taking a step toward me. “Years.”Another step.“I know how he thinks. I know how he operates. I know what he allows— and what he doesn’t.”Her voice tightened further.“And that,” she gestured toward my stomach, “is not something Morningst

Chapter: Chapter 38 ~ Was That Painful To Say?{Alora’s POV}Today, I decided to make myself something and not join the general breakfast so I made my way to the kitchen. The kitchen was quiet when I got there, the steady quiet that settled over the house before the day properly began. Sunlight filtered through the tall windows, warming the marble counters and glinting faintly off the stainless steel appliances.I decided to make something simple— toast, and after some minutes, I stood near the island, leaning slightly over the counter while the toaster clicked softly beside me.The smell of toasted bread filled the room.It wasn’t anything elaborate. Just bread, a little butter, and tea. And after everything that had happened over the past few weeks— running, starving, surviving, it felt strangely comforting to make something simple for myself.The toaster popped and I reached forward to take the slices out just as a knock sounded against the kitchen doorway.I turned automatically.Morningstar surprisingly stood there so I sta

His Regret
[Think About A Passionate Sex Scene]:
Cayden had snuck up behind Isla, his fated mate, and hauled her off the Couch and into the warming-depth of his muscle-packed body.
Without warning, he circled her around, straddled her on his sturdy waist, and plunged a threatening length into her.
Heavy thrust, pleasured squeals, venereal kisses, hip sways, electrifying pulses, hair pulls, dampened cuddles, vigorous growls, heated grinds… Name it!
Cayden continued digging his way into Isla’s soul until her legs pleaded their surrender…
[Think About A Pleasant Evening]:
Cayden returns from an meeting and goes straight to meet Isla. But instead of carrying a pomander-Bouquet of pink lilies and tulips, he’s holding in his hands.
Divorce papers.

Isla is left heartbroken and confused about what she has done wrong.
But even with the weight of her hurt, she still confronts Cayden and his reason is:
“YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A BEGGERED OMEGA WHO JUST WANTS MY MONEY AND PROPERTIES. LEAVE!”
Sorrowful, Isla leaves Cayden’s life for good!
[Then Think Of A Banquet Thrown By The Alpha King]:
Cayden, being an Alpha, gets invited to the Alpha King’s Banquet. The Alpha king, being the sovereign ruler of the entire Werewolf race, hosted a Banquet in celebration of his daughter.
But Cayden arrives at the Banquet just to realize the most shocking thing.
Isla is also at the same Banquet.
And she’s that daughter of the King!

When Cayden realizes his mistake, will he be able to make Love prevail— even when a Princess has sworn to get her revenge?
Or will it be ‘His Regret’?

Chapter: Chapter 266 ~ ‘his regret’{Isla’s POV}I was robed in a very elegant dress, and the dress was beautiful this time because my belly wasn’t 30 centimeters big anymore. It was coming down to its normal size.It was the break of dawn, since I had spent the rest of last night giving birth, and the sunrise was beautiful. I stood now, watching it from my Chamber’s east window, and just then, I felt a hand trail around my waist before I took in the calling scent of my mate and father of my child.His scent and the scent of our Son were my two most familiar scents in the world. I’m still getting used to the latter since he only just arrived a few hours ago— but I’m getting used to it fast.“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” I asked Cayden, staring at the overlying colors of red, orange, and blue clothing in the skies as the sun rose.“It sure is.” Cayden responded, his voice sweet and gentle. “But it can never match your beauty, my Queen.” He added and I blushed violet.“Well, I know someone who is more stunning than me and t

Chapter: Chapter 265 ~ Little Life {Isla’s POV}I groaned and then I struggled to push my eyelids open. It was weighty but I overcame it and became conscious to a piercing sound ringing near my ears.… and then I realized it sounded like a baby. At once, my eyes stretched wide open and I threw my gaze in the direction of the sound to see Cayden sitting before me, carrying what I suspected in his arms.A Cub. Seeing it, I became aware of the pressure on my finger and I looked to see that the Cub was holding my finger. I promptly looked back at Cayden, wanting to get some sort of clarification from him.He smiled warmly at me and leaned in to kiss me deeply on my forehead. I closed my eyes as he did so.“I was never going to let you leave me.” He said with tears in his eyes as he pulled away and then he gently handed me the baby. “Meet our Son.”A wave of warmth swept over my body as I motioned to carry the baby. I felt very weak all around my body but grabbing hold of the baby seemed to revitalize me. And make me emo

It was real.The Midwives carried the Cub happily and came close to me. “My King, It’s a boy.” One of them announced as they attempted to hand him over to me but then I was unresponsive. It was hard to move a muscle and I could only just stare.The Midwives proceeded to talk to me but then their voices sounded muffled to my hearing and it felt like the world had faded behind me. It felt like it was now only I, the baby, and Isla that were in the room— the family I had created. And I stared between both of them and tears glossed up my eyes. I was scared.But then I was…I was happy. Very happy.I couldn’t believe that this moment was real.I had a son.I finally had a child… with the woman I loved.

Carrying me made it worse.It felt like my groin was tearing apart.My water broke and tension swept into our midst. But I still preferred to walk.And so, planting my arms on the shoulders of a midwife on my left and Cayden on my right, I painfully started strolling.

Fate had divinely bound them together!The Moon goddess does pay attention. “They are fated to each other!” I screamed and jumped. My mum and Cayden looked at me smiling beautifully too.“Yes, they are.” Cayden said with an obvious elation in his voice.“Which is no surprise.

And then by her second chance mate who happened to be the Prince of the Werewolf Reigns, Prince Landon.
It was clear that nobody wanted to be with this weak orphaned girl who couldn’t even control her wolf.
But then something happened…
**
Once every thousand years, one the night of the Night of the Guirgon Full moon— the night where the moon shines brightest and is closest to the earth, the moon goddess descends and gives a part of her soul to a chosen Werewolf— one who is the bravest, strongest and purest of heart.
They would serve as the Protector of the Werewolf race since the strength and spirit of a god would be in them. So Prince Landon, having been prophesied to be the chosen one since he checks out as the strongest and the bravest, begins to make preparations.
After he rejects Ciril who he considers weak and useless, he goes on to mark a strong mate so that he could be stronger and ready to take the Moon goddess's soulful blessing.
But then, on the day of the Transmigration Ceremony, the moon goddess's spirit descends but it doesn’t possess anybody in the room— including the Prince.
The spirit leaves the Hall and travels through the Palace to a quiet and dark room where it blends into the body of someone nobody would have expected…

Chapter: Chapter 235 ~ Chosen{Ciril’s POV} The Coronation Ceremony was paused because of me...Seconds ago, every gaze had been directed forward at the rostrum but now, all eyes were on me. Also, moments ago, the scene had been quiet and colorless as if there was mourning and not a celebration, but now, bawls— whoops of joy filled the air and shook the grounds.It was an obvious sign that the people had attended the Coronation ceremony just for the sake of their citizenship obligation and not because they loved that Landon was being crowned King. But then, with me being added to the cast, the entire scenery had switched up and the people showered me with all the love they apparently didn’t want to show Landon.This was obvious… and it was sad— but then Landon didn’t look like he minded. He knew he had fucked up in his duty as Prince at one point or another other so he didn’t let this kill his spirit now.Instead, he wore the brightest smile as he stretched his hands out to me, gesturing for me to come forward an

But it turns out it was their true expression— they weren’t faking it.” He added. I waved dust away from my face and strolled over to Landon’s wardrobe to pour out all his clothes. We were here to get him dressed up as the Coronation was about to start since the Sage had arrived.“Yeah. Shock is the word.” I said as I started to pull down his clothes and carry them to the bed to sort them.

Landon and I were approaching the courtyard from a distance away and we have been hearing his voice as the only audible voice among the group. He was basically making noise, but then it was a noise I liked to hear.I had missed him— and I preferred this noise to him being a wild animal. We got close to the courtyard now and Landon sighed loudly again— he was anxious. The group was in the courtyard and he was tense to meet them and tell them about us, and no matter how many times I had assured him that everything was going to go well, he wasn’t calming down.But then I couldn’t blame him for being tense— after all that he had done to me, he was naturally supposed to be scared to meet the witnesses of those cruel events and ask for their blessings.

Before now, I had been going in and out of the Celestial State and the reason for this was that I was almost at the point of going unconscious and my body was interpreting this as a threat— hence my aggression and the Celestial State.But I was calm now— at least, I was trying to be. I had successfully fed my blood to my mother, Princess Anita, Anika, Clord, and 37 other Ferals we had found around the Palace. This was good news but then there were so many others we couldn’t save because they were too mutilated to live if I cured them. Most of them were missing limbs, guts, or even half of their body, and they were alive due to their feral infection, hence if I cured them with my blood, they wouldn’t survive.

The damage had not been erased. It had been honored, repaired, remembered.People filled every tier. Warriors in scarred armor. Elders with lined faces and sharp eyes. Citizens who had survived the fire and chosen to return. Moonspire fighters stood openly among Palace guards now, no longer watched, no longer questioned.For the first time since I could remember, the Reigns felt awake.I stood near the entrance, armored in obsidian steel etched with subtle lunar patterns.

Torches burned steadily along the walls, their flames calm— too calm, casting long shadows that refused to move.Revna’s cell lay open.Empty.The shackles hung uselessly against the wall, silver cuffs dulled by time and friction.

Below, the city moved again— slowly, cautiously, alike something injured but alive. Lanterns flickered on one by one. Voices carried upward in low, human tones. I rested my hands on the stone railing, cool beneath my palms.For the first time after the war ended, no one was watching me.No guards hovering at my back. No council members whispering behind pillars. No soldiers measuring me like a weapon they didn’t understand.It was just peace. Certainty and quiet. There were suddenly footsteps behind me now, tangible but hesitant.I didn’t turn right away. I knew who it was.“You shouldn’t be alone,” Liam said quietly.“I’m not,” I replied. “I’m just not surrounded.”That earned a faint exhale behind me— something close to a laugh, stripped of humor b

They didn’t ask questions or drag memories back into the light.“Again,” I said.The warrior across from me—a Moonspire General with a healed scar across his cheek, hesitated for half a heartbeat before raising his guard again. He had learned, as most of them had, that hesitation was worse than recklessness when facing me.We circled.I felt the familiar hum beneath my skin—not the wild surge of the eclipse, not the consuming darkness of battle, but the steadier thing I was learning to live with.
