Wren’s POV

“The wedding will go ahead.” Dante said it without hesitation. I was still standing beside his bed in a borrowed robe, my clothes gathered in my arms, when those five words settled between us. Seraphina looked at him, then at me. The woman beside her clutched a garment bag as though she had wandered into the wrong house.

“Please wait outside, Seraphina,” Dante said, his voice low. “And take the dressmaker with you. We will discuss the appointments later.”

Seraphina's eyes shone. For

  • Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim   Chapter 116

    Seraphina’s POV“Don't tell me you're planning to ask my fiancé for his blood.” The words came out sharper than I intended, but I made no effort to soften them.Ivy stood outside her daughter's ward with a hospital leaflet in one hand and her phone in the other. She looked exhausted. Yet when she saw me, she straightened as though she could summon strength simply by refusing to show weakness. I hated that about her. I hated even more that Dante always seemed to notice when she was struggling.I had come to the hospital for a scheduled discussion about the charity's upcoming patient-support program. Instead, I had barely reached the private wards before finding Ivy exactly where I least wanted her. After the disgrace at the packhouse, I had expected her to disappear from Dante's life. He had accused her himself. He had cancelled her company's agreements. Somehow, she was still here, and he was still asking after her child.I nodded toward the leaflet. “What is that? Has something hap

  • Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim   Chapter 115

    Wren's POVBy morning, I had learned to hate the sound of doctors lowering their voices. Every time one of them approached Nora's room, my stomach tightened before they spoke. I stood in the consultation room with a list of possible Alpha donors in my hands, reading names I had never heard before and trying to imagine which one might save my daughter."We can begin contacting these candidates," the doctor explained, indicating the first page. "But I need you to understand that willingness to donate is only the beginning. We must test for compatibility with Nora’s wolf nature. A powerful Alpha is not necessarily a suitable donor." He looked at me carefully, as though he knew I was searching his face for a promise he could not make."Then test as many as you need," I said, gripping the pages until they bent. "I can arrange the costs. If there are people we need to bring here, tell me where they are. Please don’t wait because you think I need time to decide."Adrian leaned forward in the

  • Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim   Chapter 114

    Wren's POVThe question Nora had asked Dante was still hanging between us. She lay against her pillows, watching him with the complete faith only a child could give someone. But I had already made too many promises I couldn't keep.Dante lowered himself beside her bed until their faces were level. He rested his hand on the mattress, close enough for Nora to reach if she wanted.“Being a strong Alpha doesn't mean I can fix everything, sweetheart,” he told her gently. “I wish it did. But your doctors are working very hard, and we're going to listen to what they say. All right?”Nora studied him with a seriousness that made my chest ache. “But my wolf is sleeping,” she whispered. “I keep telling her to get up. She doesn't listen.” Her fingers moved uncertainly across the blanket covering her legs. “Maybe she doesn't like me anymore.”I stepped forward before I could stop myself. “No, baby. Your wolf isn't angry with you.” I brushed the damp hair from her forehead, careful to keep my voic

  • Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim   Chapter 113

    Dante's POVIvy hadn't even looked back. She had stood beside the entrance to her house, holding it open, while Adrian remained at her dining table. I could still hear her final words. I wasn't asking Adrian to leave, Dante. She hadn't shouted. Somehow, that made it worse.I knew I deserved to be sent away. That knowledge did nothing to improve the picture lodged in my head: Adrian sitting among her half-finished dishes, close enough to notice when she needed water, welcome enough that she asked him to stay. I had made my apology and still managed to turn the evening into a question about another man. I should have listened instead of making her defend her own choice.Sleep came in fragments. Each time I woke, I remembered how tired she had looked when she mentioned Nora. She had spoken of the hospital as though it were another place she needed to be before the night was over, not somewhere a mother should have to return after a full day of fighting for her business. I had asked if No

  • Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim   Chapter 112

    Wren's POVThe hospital doors slid apart before Adrian had even stopped the car properly. I was already reaching for my seat belt, my fingers fumbling with the buckle as Cole's last words repeated inside my head. Nora isn't responding to me. I had asked him twice what that meant, but the call had ended with him saying the doctors needed the room. I ran across the entrance hall without waiting for Adrian, passing a nurse pushing a trolley. Every second between the doors and my daughter's room felt stolen from her.“Ivy, slow down. I'll find out where they've taken her,” Adrian called as he caught up beside me. His hand hovered near my elbow, ready to steady me, but I shook my head and kept walking. I knew the way. I knew this corridor by heart. Tonight, the familiar smell of disinfectant made my stomach twist. I turned the corner and saw Cole standing outside Nora's door, his face drained of color.“Where is she? What happened?” I demanded, grabbing Cole's sleeve before he could speak

  • Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim   Chapter 111

    Wren's POVI kept my hand on the front door, holding it open while Dante stared at me as though I had spoken in a language he didn't understand. Behind him, Adrian sat at the dining table, exactly where I had asked him to stay. I wished Dante would simply walk out. Every second he remained made it harder to pretend I wasn't shaking."You want me to leave?" Dante asked. His gaze moved to Adrian, then returned to me. "You actually want me out of your house?""I wouldn't be standing here with the door open if I didn't." I tightened my fingers around the handle. The disbelief on his face was worse. It made me feel as though I was the one doing something cruel.Dante took a slow breath. "I came here to apologize, Ivy. I told you I was wrong to say those things at the packhouse. I didn't come here to fight.""I heard your apology." My voice came out steadier than I felt. "I listened to every word. But apologizing doesn't mean you get to decide how long I have to stand here and hear you out.
