RAFAEL

I froze. It was like an entire wave had drained out of my system. Color drained from my face.

"For me?" I stuttered the word like it was another blow to my face—because of course, it was.

I couldn’t place the piece. When? Where? The last time...

Piece by piece, I remembered the night she had woken up by my side.

Fuck! Could it be then?

Freya, of all people, wouldn’t just lie about this. She had been faithful.

Her eyes, instilled with fear, met my very confused own.

Did she mean what she had just said Of course she did.

I had never thought about being a father aside from now, I was going to be a father, and it wasn't from Lila, it wasn't from my bond mate. But from Freya?

Oh damn! How fucked up could this ever be?

The room suddenly feels too tight, too fucking loud. My heartbeat slamming against my ears like a war drum.

I couldn't say a word, of course I had a lot to say, but nothing seems to come out from my mouth.

“We’ll figure a way out of this,” I say finally, my voice low.

    RAFAELThe moon goddess knows how fucking excited I was when she told me she was pregnant.It was like every ounce of anger, betrayal, and silence I'd been holding onto just cracked. Crumbled. Dissolved.The thought of her carrying my pup, our pup, inside her... and this time, I'd be here. I'd do it right. No missed years. No regrets.Goddess, kill me already... That was more than a dream come true. That was everything.But that excitement? It died the moment the Pack doctor opened his damn mouth.I swear my entire world stopped spinning.Why the hell does everything in my life have to be so fucking complicated?Why can't I have peace just once, just fucking once?My hands curl into fists, knuckles white, jaw tight enough to crack. I don't want her to see it, but I'm spiraling inside.She almost died. She and the baby.And I couldn't do a damn thing about it.I sit by her bedside, staring at her pale skin, her fragile breaths, and that IV tube taped to her arm. My Lila, the strongest

    LILAI've come to realize that the things you shove aside? They always come back to eat you up.But you know what's worse? Living in fear of when they'll return.These past few days, the idea of the curse hadn't even crossed my mind... until now. Good things, they say, never last for long.I blink awake to the weight of Rafael's leg lazily entangled with mine. His arm drapes over my waist like I belong there, like I've always belonged there. And of course I do belong there.Watching him sleep, so peacefully, so deeply, I can swear he hadn't gotten a wink the entire time we were apart. The worry had eaten him alive.Now he looks calm. At ease. His chest rising in slow rhythm, soft snores barely audible. He's so damn handsome even in sleep, it's unfair.I rake my hand softly across his cheek, my fingers tracing the familiar path of his jaw. The events of last night rush through me in a warm, dizzying wave, making my body heat up instantly.Last night was... bliss.He didn't stop after o

    AVAAfter dinner, I know I'll be left alone with my thoughts. I mean, anyone in my shoes would be flustered, right?My life feels like a badly scripted soap opera, twists, betrayals, secrets... It's like I'm constantly flipping pages of a life I didn't sign up for.Who are my biological parents?That question keeps hitting the walls of my brain like a ping-pong ball. I've grown up in an orphanage, passed from one foster home to another until I got adopted... survived things I don't talk about out loud. I've endured more than most people could stomach in one lifetime.Raped.Yeah. That word. Heavy and ugly.My past isn't something I wear proudly like a badge, hell, it's something I tucked so deep down even I forgot it was there sometimes. But it shaped me. Molded me. Toughened every damn layer of me.I've learned to be strong. That weakness? It's not even in my vocabulary anymore. Or so I thought...Until all of this. Until the soul pact. Until the fangs.Until I found out I wasn't eve

    LILAMy head's been a burning mess since I found out I'm pregnant.Breakfast was awkwardly silent-no word from me, no attempt to explain anything. I told myself I'd drop the news during breakfast, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.I haven't slept a wink since I left Ava's room. Nicklaus, that dude, just won't leave her side for a second.Now I'm wide awake, sprawled across the big bed Rafael and I used to share. It's been all mine this past week. He's been sleeping in another quarter completely.I sit up and slide out of bed, walking over to the mirror. I pull my hair loose from its knotted bun and let it fall freely down my back. I stare at my reflection-just a nightdress on, eyes tired, heart racing.Maybe I need to do something reckless. Something stupid.I reach for my favorite perfume, spraying it gently across my neck and the pulse points he used to kiss. The scent fills the air-familiar, strong, unforgettable. If this doesn't grab his attention, nothing will.Finally, I gra

    LILAThis is the first time we're having breakfast as a full house since Ava and Derrick arrived at the Pack House. Nicklaus barely leaves Ava's side-like, not even to pee. And Rafael? He still acts like I'm invisible. Like sharing the same air is some kind of punishment.At least he finally let me talk to Derrick. I told him the truth-about Rafael being his father. He took that... okay. But finding out I'm his mother? That hit differently.They're both mad at me. And honestly? I get it. I fucked up.I'm in the kitchen, trying to focus on the one thing I can control-breakfast. "Eggs Benedict with roasted tomatoes," I mutter to myself, flipping through the ingredients on the counter. "Poach the eggs... toast the muffins... make the hollandaise without ruining it."Easier said than done when your hands won't stop shaking.The eggs are boiling gently, the sauce pan is prepped, and I'm slicing cherry tomatoes when I hear soft footsteps behind me. I don't turn, too scared it's Rafael, too

    AVAIt's like I've been hit with a sucker punch. A big one. Right to the chest.What in the absolute name of the moon goddess is this?Turns out the guy I've been head-over-heels for... the same guy who drugged me, bit me, kidnapped a child, Derrick, and he isn't just a walking red flag with fangs...He's Lila's freaking brother. My best friend's brother. "You're joking," I say, though my voice sounds nothing like mine. "Tell me this is one of those sick prank shows. Someone's gonna jump out with a camera and tell me to laugh."Lila just shakes her head, eyes glistening.Nicklaus is dead silent. His jaw's tight, like even he didn't see this one coming. "So... let me get this straight," I continue, pacing now. "I got drugged... bit... soul-bonded to a man who faked being human... and oh, plot twist-he's my best friend's long-lost brother?"I laugh. Not the cute kind. "I'm living in a goddamn supernatural soap opera."Lila tries to say something, but I raise a hand."No, no, let me b
