Trent stood by the bed, eyes on Zora's trembling form. She hadn't moved since he laid her down, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, as if trying to hold something inside.

His heart pounded as the door creaked open.

Timika stepped in, her face pale.

"You called for me?" she asked, voice low.

Trent turned sharply. "Look at her," he said, barely keeping his voice steady. "What the hell happened to her, Timika?"

Timika stepped closer, her gaze softening as it fell on Zora.

"I warned you," she murmured. "Whatever she was going to see… I said I might not be able to hold it."

"I thought she was just going to see flashes or fragments," Trent said. "She came out of it like she'd been through a war."

"She wasn't hurt," she said carefully. "Physically, she's fine. No spirits attacked."

Trent's brows furrowed. "Then why is she like this?"

Timika looked him in the eye. "Because sometimes… memory is more devastating than we can imagine."

She walked to the bedside and crouched beside Zora. "She

  • CONTRACTED TO THE BEAST ALPHA   Chapter 135

    Six weeks!The words kept circling in her mind, her mouth wide open, refusing to settle into something she could understand. She had spent years believing this was impossible.After Dante, after the way that marriage had ended, she had accepted that children weren't part of her future. And Trent had said he was fine with it.He had held her face in his hands and told her he didn't need an heir, didn't need anything but her. But she had seen the way he looked at pups in the pack. The softness that crept into his expression when he thought no one was watching.Now she was pregnant. Now she could give him what he'd never asked for but always wanted. And he was down the hall with another woman who was likely his mate.Zora pulled her hand away from her stomach and pressed it against her eyes instead. She wouldn't cry again. Once was enough. The door was still closed. No sound of footsteps in the hallway. No sign of Trent coming back.Her mouth was wide open while she struggled to process

    Earlier that day,Joanna began to feel pain that had drawn the attention of almost everyone at the pack house. She was fast asleep when a knock came.At first, she ignored it, thinking it was part of her dream. But it came again, harder this time. Her eyes fluttered open, and she pushed herself up, squinting at the door.Her first thought was Trent.She thought maybe he had come to find out if she would be able to shift to her wolf.But as she walked closer to the door, she realized that she couldn't catch a scent and that was when she knew this couldn't be Alpha Trent. He wouldn't conceal his scent, especially around the pack house.Whoever was outside had masked their scent completely. That alone made her tense."Who is it?" she asked softly while standing very close to the door."Open up. It's me," a low voice repl

    The sound came through again, louder than the first time and it was obvious that whoever it was, was in severe pain. For a moment, Zora and Trent froze where they stood, their hearts jolting in their chests."Upstairs!" Trent said, already sprinting toward the staircase. Zora followed, clutching the banister as they climbed two steps at a time.When they reached the hallway, the noise led them to Joanna's room. Trent kicked the door open and rushed inside.Joanna was on the floor, curled into herself, both hands clutching her arm. The veins around it glowed faintly, like a burning mark spreading beneath her skin. Her face was pale and slick with sweat, her breathing ragged."Joanna!" Trent dropped to his knees beside her. "What happened?"She lifted her head, eyes wild and filled with tears. "It's…… it's the bond," she gasped out. "The mate bond……. it's burning me from the inside."Zora froze near the doorway, her chest rising and falling rapidly. The mark on Joanna's arm wasn't just

    The both of them stayed together, locked in each other's arms, inhaling what felt like paradise to them.At that moment, nothing else mattered to her, not the fact that she couldn't conceive or the fact that Trent might have found his mate, everything was at ease. After a while, she called out to him.“Trent…”“Yeah?”She didn’t answer. She rose on her toes and kissed him.For a second, he seemed perplexed and then he was kissing her back, pulling her against him like he couldn’t stand another inch of distance. The kiss seemed slow at first, then deepened until everything else fell away. It wasn’t just needed; it was something deeper, something that felt like a promise neither of them had to speak.When they finally pulled apart, both breathing hard, Trent rested his forehead against hers.“We should probably—”Zora didn’t hear the rest. A wave of nausea hit her so fast it stole her breath. The room spun. She jerked away from him, barely making it to the bathroom before her stomach t

    Trent wasn't ready to listen to anything else his mother was going to say. He knew that if he let her stress the issue any further, it was only going to further cause more trouble for Zora. Trent wrapped his hand around the small side of Zora s waist as they walked out of there. They both went upstairs and as the door to the bedroom slammed shut, Zora stood near the window, her arms wrapped around herself, still processing everything that had just happened.Trent leaned against the door for a moment, exhaling slowly before turning to face her. "Alright. Tell me what really happened. If there was anything he knew about Zora was the fact that she wanted to be heard and even though he had defended her in front of his mother and all the kitchen staff, he still wanted to hear her own side of the story.Zora glanced at him, surprised. "You want to hear my side?""Of course I do." He moved toward her, hands in his pockets. "I know my mother. I've known her my entire life, and I've seen he

    Before Zora could process what was happening, Melissa crumpled to the floor, her hands landing directly on the jagged pieces scattered across the tile."Ah!" Melissa let out a loud scream as blood began to seep from multiple cuts on her palms.Zora stood frozen. She had seen this before. Alicia had played such tricks with her before. She wanted to be calm, but never expected it from Lisa.As soon as Trent heard the scream that had erupted from the kitchen, his eyes widened in fright and he dashed out. The kitchen door swung open and Trent appeared, his eyes immediately scanning the scene."What the hell happened?" Trent's deep voice growled. Melissa sobbed, clutching her bleeding hands to her chest. "Trent! Oh, thank the goddess you're here…."But her son wasn't looking at her. His attention had shifted entirely to Zora, and in three long strides, he crossed the kitchen to where she stood."Are you alright?" His hands moved over her arms, checking for injuries with a tender look on hi
