Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim Chapter 41
Wren’s POVI stayed outside the room until Seraphina finished her call. The cleaner held Nora’s brush inside the transparent bag as though it were nothing more than another hospital item.Then Seraphina opened her purse, counted several notes, and placed them into the woman’s waiting hand. The cleaner tucked the money away quickly.I stepped backward before either of them could come through the door. My heart was pounding, but anger had become something colder now.Seraphina had not simply threatened me. She had arranged to steal something from Nora so she could test whether Dante was her father.The door opened. I moved around the corner and waited until Seraphina walked past before following her at a distance. She carried the transparent bag herself now.Instead of returning toward the charity group, she crossed into another hospital wing and approached a man beside a collection desk.I slowed near the corridor entrance. Seraphina handed him the bag and a request form. He checked bo

Wren’s POVI slapped Seraphina’s hand away from Nora’s hair and stepped between them. “I said get your hands off her.” Nora shifted behind me, but my eyes stayed on Seraphina.After the failed brakes, unanswered calls, and her threat two days ago, I could not pretend her presence beside my daughter was harmless.Seraphina lifted both hands. I stared at her open fingers, searching for something I could not name. There was nothing there. No strand of hair, no object, nothing that explained the panic twisting through me.For one second, I wondered what I had expected to find.Seraphina noticed. “What exactly are you looking for?” Her mouth curved slightly. “This is an ordinary charity visit, Ivy. Why does someone getting close to your daughter frighten you this much?”“I’m not discussing anything with you in front of Nora.” I saw my daughter watching us with wide eyes, and guilt cut through my anger.I faced Seraphina again. “Leave the room. Whatever problem you have with me does not bel

Wren’s POVThe horn screamed as the massive vehicle filled my windshield. I jerked the steering wheel hard to the right, missing its front end by what felt like inches.My car shot toward the roadside instead. Metal scraped violently against the barrier, the impact throwing me sideways against my seat belt before the car finally stopped.For several seconds, I could hear nothing except my own breathing. Then sound rushed back at once. Horns. Shouting. The ticking of the damaged engine.A thin curl of smoke rose beyond the hood, and the sight snapped me out of the shock holding me against the seat.I moved my fingers first, then my arms and legs. Everything obeyed, though my shoulder burned where the seat belt had caught me.I pushed the door open and stepped onto the roadside. Two people were already running toward me while another driver slowed nearby.“Are you hurt?” a man called as he approached. His eyes moved from me to the crushed front of the car. “You should sit down. That was

Wren’s POV“Show me the actual workload, not another summary.” I stood beside the regional branch manager’s desk while Adrian waited near the window. Two days had passed since I learned the account was close to leaving Sinclair, and I wanted facts before the board meeting.The manager opened the scheduling system and turned the screen toward me. The problem became obvious within minutes. Projects had been assigned according to a timetable that assumed nearly twice the available experienced staff.I questioned the team leads separately, then spoke with the employees completing the delayed work. Their answers matched. Management had promised dates the branch could never meet, then kept making new promises when the first ones failed.One project lead showed me the weekly schedule. “We warned management that the team couldn’t meet these dates. We were told the client had already been promised delivery, so we had to make it happen.”The exhaustion on her face told me exactly how well that

Seraphina’s POV“Where is Dante?” I asked the moment I found Marcus downstairs that night. The pack house had gone quiet, but I had spent hours replaying the parking lot confrontation and the humiliation from that morning.I was done waiting for Dante to decide when I deserved answers. I wanted them before another day passed.Marcus glanced toward the corridor. “In the study. He’s been there for a while.” He barely finished before I turned away.I crossed the hall, reached Dante’s study, and opened the door without knocking.Dante sat behind his desk with business papers spread before him. An open file lay beside them, but he looked up the moment I entered.“Seraphina.” His expression hardened. “You could knock.”“You could answer your phone.” I shut the door behind me. “I called you three times today. You ignored every call. Were you too busy chasing Ivy again?”Dante’s palm struck the desk, making the papers jump. “Enough. Stop turning every disagreement between us into something ab

Seraphina’s POV“Put those in the Luna’s rooms.” I pointed toward the two garment cases and the small chest beside my door. The maid stared at them instead of moving, while the guard I had summoned shifted uncomfortably.I had already chosen which belongings I wanted moved first. I had not expected a simple instruction to become a discussion.The maid lowered her eyes. “Lady Seraphina, I don’t think I’m permitted to move anything into those rooms.” Her hands tightened around her apron. “The rooms have not been opened for occupancy.”Heat climbed my neck. “Then open them. Dante and I are fated mates. Those rooms are reserved for the Luna, and everyone in this pack knows who is meant to stand beside him.”I turned to the guard. “Make the arrangements. I do not intend to repeat myself.”The guard hesitated instead of obeying. That hesitation was worse than a refusal. Two servants passing through the corridor slowed when they noticed us.“Is there a problem?” I demanded. “Or has following
