~~Imogene's POV~~

I was alone in my room, the ones I still kept even though I spent most nights in Fenrir's rooms, staring at the small leather pouch Maera had given me. Prenatal herbs, she had called them. To keep the baby strong and healthy. Just seeing it made my chest tight with a confusing mix of joy and terror.

Days had passed since I learned I was pregnant. I spent the better part of those days, carrying this secret like a stone in my chest, growing heavier with each passing hour. I need

  • The Ruthless Alpha Who Bought Me Is My Mate    Chapter 57

    ~~Imogene's POV~~“How touching.”The voice that cut through the room was smooth as silk and twice as dangerous. I watched Fenrir spin around, putting himself between me and the door in one swift motion, his body tensed as he got into a protective stance.Lucian stood by the door, and my stomach dropped. He wasn’t alone, six wolves stood with him, their eyes gleaming with satisfaction. The trap I hadn’t even known existed had just sprung shut.“Hello, Fenrir.” Lucian’s smile was no longer the kind one I was used to, it looked like a predator looking at a prey. I’d never seen him like that before. This wasn’t the kind friend who had offered me a place to stay. This was someone else entirely. “I was wondering when you’d make your move. Though I must say, I expected better from the great Alpha of the Rogues. Walking right into my territory? That is rather reckless of you, don’t you think?”“Let her go, Lucian.” Fenrir’s voice was deadly calm, but I could see the tension in his shoulders,

  • The Ruthless Alpha Who Bought Me Is My Mate    Chapter 56

    ~~Fenrir's POV~~We got into Griffin territory two hours after nightfall, moving through the forest like shadows. Tonight’s moon was bright in the sky, providing just enough light for us to move without being seen. Perfect lighting for what we needed to do.Lyric’s scouting over the past two days had been very valuable. She had mapped the guard rotations, identified weak points in the area, and confirmed unusual security around the pack house. It wasn't really proof that Imogene was there, but it was at least enough to justify the risk.We had left where we came from the southeast, where the forest grew thick enough to provide cover almost to the compound walls. Now we all were crouching in the tree line, studying our target.The pack house was three stories high buillt with stone and timber. There were lights shining through the windows. Guards patrolled the area in pairs, their routes predictable but thorough. I shifted back to human form, the others following suit.“Teams split her

    ~~Imogene's POV~~I’d been in Griffin Pack for about a month now, and the routine had become comfortable. A knock sounded on my door, and Lucian entered with his usual warm smile. “Good afternoon, Imogene. I hope I’m not disturbing you?”“Not at all.” I pointed to the sitting area by the window. “Please, come in.”He sat on the chair across from me, and I noticed he carried a small wooden box. “I brought you something,” he said, putting it on the table between us. “Open it.”Inside there were all sorts of fruits, each piece was perfectly glazed and arranged like jewels. “These are from the eastern territories,” Lucian explained. “A trader brought them this morning, and I thought you might enjoy them. The apricots are particularly good.”I took one, and ate it, the sweetness melted into my tongue. “This is delicious. Thank you.”“My pleasure.” He leaned back, looking relaxed. “You know, getting those nearly cost me a diplomatic incident. The trader insisted they were reserved for Alpha

    ~~Fenrir's POV~~The merchant was a wiry man with nervous hands that could not stay still. He twisted his cap between his fingers as he stood before my desk, eyes darting between me and the door as if calculating escape routes.“You said you have information,” I said, keeping my voice firm even though I could barely contain myself and my wolf was clawing at my chest.“Aye. Heard rumors up north, I did. Been trading through those territories for years. Wolves talk, especially after a couple o’ drinks.” He licked his cracked lips. “Word is Griffin Pack has been keeping someone unusual. A woman. Wolfless. I heard she showed up about a month back.”My blood went cold. “Griffin Pack.”“That’s what they’re saying. Can’t confirm it myself, I ne’er saw her with my own eyes. But the talk’s consistent.” He shifted his weight. “Traders passing through Griffin territory mention seeing extra guards around the pack house. More security than usual. Something special’s got Alpha Lucian being careful.

  • The Ruthless Alpha Who Bought Me Is My Mate    Chapter 53

    ~~Imogene's POV~~I woke up that morning to find a new dress on the chair in my room. It was a beautiful aquamarine dress that shines like water in sunlight. The bodice was fitted with beautiful beadwork along the neckline, tiny crystals were sewn in patterns that resembled flowing waves. The sleeves were long and layers gathered at the shoulders, the skirt fell in soft, elegant folds that would move beautifully when I walked. It was a gorgeous dress.It was the fourth dress that had come in this week, each more beautiful than the last. Yesterday’s had been deep emerald with gold threading that caught the light. The day before, cream linen with tiny pearl buttons down the back that ran from the collar to bottom. They all fit perfectly, even with the small swell of my stomach.I put it on. The clothes I wore when I left Fenrir’s pack were already worn, and refusing the dresses seemed rude when they had put in so much care into choosing them. The dress fitted me perfectly. When Cara a

  • The Ruthless Alpha Who Bought Me Is My Mate    Chapter 52

    ~~Fenrir's POV~~Time had stopped moving in any way that made sense. Days just went by one after the other without any difference, just repeated failed reports and the growing weight in my chest that refused to ease. Sleep rarely came and it was never clean, when it did, I didn't really feel rested, only still aware of the constant sense that maybe I was already too late. Too late to save her.Every morning started with the same ritual; getting up before dawn, reviewing what little information we had, and bracing myself for another stretch of nothing.Two weeks of searching had yielded nothing.My wolves had scoured every inch of neutral territory. They had questioned rogues, travelers, merchants, anyone who might have passed through the area where Imogene’s trail went cold. Most had seen nothing. A few remembered seeing wolves in the area, but couldn’t provide useful details.I spent hours each day in my office, maps spread across everywhere. Red marks indicated where we’d searched.
