Brian's POV

Time dragged on, second by second, yet the screen of my phone remained silent. Still no reply. Damn it, how dare Ashley ignore my messages? How could she?! I need to cut off all her financial support.

Once she's got no money, she'll have no choice but to crawl back. Without hesitation, I shot off the order to my Beta, Kael.

Half an hour later, the phone was still dead quiet. A surge of anger welled up in my chest, blazing through my self-control like wildfire. I paced back and forth

  • Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha   Chapter 61

    Ashley's POVThe pale glow of my phone's screen burned my eyes in the early morning. A significant amount of money had been deposited into the orphanage's account—it was the event budget. Right after, a text from Cecilia popped up."Good morning, Luna Ashley. The funds have been sent. Hebert and I spent quite some time discussing it in the study, and I managed to convince him to approve an additional 20% for your ‘charity work.' Maybe you can use the money to buy more supplements for your little pups. You know Hebert is always generous with the pack members, so don't feel pressured."Her words, dripping with condescension and superiority, made me feel sick. Paired with the nausea from my pregnancy, my stomach churned violently, forcing me to rush to the bathroom and dry heave over the sink.As I leaned against the cold surface of the sink, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror—a pale, exhausted face stared back at me. What was I even doing? Why was I feeling hurt? Hebert and I ha

  • Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha   Chapter 60

    Cecilia's POVI stared at the door, and a faint, uncontrollable smirk tugged at my lips.What a pathetic joke. That woman—some secondhand goods with Brian's pup—actually dared to dream about Hebert. She's just an OMEGA. There's no way she can bear the weight of the Bloodmoon Pack, let alone handle the pressure of standing beside Hebert.I did it on purpose, every bit of it. I wanted that foolish woman to see clearly who truly holds power in this office. I know the Bloodmoon Pack inside out, better than anyone, better than her. I know how to support a top Alpha like Hebert. I'm the one who truly deserves to be by his side.I glanced at Hebert and reached out to straighten the documents on his desk, using the moment to close the space between us."Cecilia, don't touch my stuff," Hebert's voice was calm but firm. "You know I only act close to you to put on a show for Ashley.""She feels a little pressured by how we've been around each other," Hebert added.My body instantly froze, jealou

  • Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha   Chapter 59

    Ashley's POVAfter returning to my room, I couldn't calm down no matter how hard I tried. It wasn't until late into the night that I finally drifted off to sleep.The next morning, sunlight slipped through the gap in the heavy curtains, stabbing into my eyes. I dragged myself out of bed, my head pounding like crazy. Just as I was groaning and rubbing my temples, my phone buzzed on the nightstand. The screen lit up with the name of the orphanage director."Good morning, Luna," the director greeted, her excitement practically spilling out through the phone. "Sorry to disturb you so early. We're planning a big birthday party for all the kids. I've already emailed you the detailed event plan along with the budget. I hope you can approve it.""No problem." I forced myself to sound energetic, masking my fatigue. "That's wonderful news for the kids. I'll get on it right away." I hung up the phone and walked over to my desk, flipping open my laptop. There it was—an email marked with a bold r

  • Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha   Chapter 58

    Ashley's POVI stood there, my eyes sweeping over the rows of racks overflowing with high-end designer gowns, lingering on the velvet trays where diamond necklaces sparkled almost blindingly, and eventually settling on the limited-edition handbags giving off the unmistakable scent of expensive leather. It felt like someone had taken an entire Fifth Avenue boutique and dropped it right into the middle of the Bloodmoon Pack's manor.Hebert stood amidst the sea of luxury, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his tailored slacks. The slightly open collar of his black silk shirt revealed the sharp lines of his collarbone and just a peek of his toned chest. His gaze was fixed on me.Honestly, if this had been years ago, I'd probably be thrilled—a rich, strong, ridiculously good-looking man? That's a dream come true by most standards.But now? I felt calm, completely composed. Because I knew exactly where we stood. I wasn't his mate, and I wouldn't let myself get lost in some empty

  • Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha   Chapter 57

    Ashley's POVAs the little girl's sharp question echoed through the room, Cecilia's face instantly drained of all color. She froze on the spot, still clutching the trinket meant for the next child, now looking absurdly out of place. The camera flashes, once chasing after the innocent smiles of the children, had turned toward Cecilia's pale, humiliated face, capturing every bit of her disarray.She bolted.Breaking the heavy silence, Cecilia stormed out of the orphanage, her heels pounding an erratic rhythm against the wooden floor, like a frightened deer running from hounds.Only when she was gone did the atmosphere slowly come back to life. The children, clutching their candy and trinkets, looked uncertain, glancing at the items in their hands and then at me, their eyes wide and questioning.The brave little girl who had spoken up appeared completely lost, her expression one of innocent confusion, clearly unsure of whether she had done something wrong.I took a deep breath, pushing a

  • Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha   Chapter 56

    Ashley's POVI walked over to the reading corner in the orphanage and picked up a brightly colored picture book. Its pages were filled with cute animals and simple drawings—the kind of content the kids could easily follow. I lowered myself onto the floor on the other side of the group."Hey, kids," I said softly, a smile warming my voice.A few of them turned toward me. I opened the book and began reading in a relaxed, natural tone."Once upon a time, there was a little bunny who absolutely loved carrots."I pointed at the illustrations, adding lively gestures to match the story.The kids were hooked instantly. Their eyes brightened, no longer heavy with yawns or drifting toward everything else in the room. Slowly but surely, they shuffled closer, forming a cozy little circle around me—completely absorbed in the tale.Cecilia's voice still filled the room, but her audience had almost entirely disappeared. Her voice gradually faded until it stopped altogether. She lifted her head, only
