Rowan’s POV

Two weeks.

Two weeks of being locked away, living like a prisoner with food delivered to my door and silence as my only company.

I haven’t spoken to a single person in all that time.

My days are slow. I read when I can concentrate, and I crochet to keep my hands from shaking. Lately, without even meaning to, I’ve been crocheting baby clothes—tiny hats, soft little booties. I don’t know what lives inside me, but I know something does.

Perrie brings my meals twice a day. She doesn’t say a word, just sets the tray down and disappears. Not once has she looked me in the eye.

I don’t know what’s happening outside these four walls, but I feel the tension in the air like a storm building in my bones. My wolf stirs constantly. She aches for open space, for the rush of wind, the splash of water in the river. She is not made for confinement.

And yet, here we are.

The only thing I’m certain of anymore is that whatever is growing in me is very much alive.

My body betrays me with cravin

  • Carrying the cursed Alphas Heir   Chapter 41

    Kael’s POVI made a decision.After that night, everything changed,and I made a decision I knew would anger people. But I don’t care. It's the right choice, and I won’t entertain opinions on the matter. Not from the elders. Not from my wives.Not from anyone.A soft knock breaks the silence in my office.Chelsea."Come in," I call, my voice low and rough. Sleep has become a stranger since the attack.Chelsea steps inside, her features tight with worry. She didn’t expect my summons,especially not this early."Is everything okay?" she asks, taking the seat across from me.I nod. Briefly. I’m not in the mood for pleasantries or drawn-out explanations."Kael—" she starts, but a second knock cuts her off. Sharper. Louder.Vivienne.She doesn’t wait for my permission to enter,she never does. The door swings open and she strolls in like she owns the place, radiating disinterest."I had a massage appointment," she says flatly, dropping into the seat beside Chelsea.I ignore her.“Rowan was at

  • Carrying the cursed Alphas Heir   Chapter 40

    RowanThe candlelight flickered softly across my bedroom walls, casting dancing shadows that usually brought me comfort.Not tonight.I rubbed the lavender balm between my palms and pressed it to my temples, breathing in. My nightly ritual was meant to ground me,a small moment of peace after days of chaos. But today hands trembled slightly. My heart beat too loud.I tried to shake it off.Just nerves, I try to assure myself as I told rinsed my face in the bathroom. The cool water helped… until it didn’t.I paused as Ireached for the towel.Something was wrong.The air had shifted.I stood at the sink, dripping, staring at the mirror. My breath fogged the glass, but I could feel something just beyond my vision,a presence. My skin prickled. My pulse climbed.When I stepped back into my bedroom, the air was wrong. Thick. Charged.Like lightning before the strike.I tightened the towel around me and called out, voice steady despite the dread curling in my chest. “If someone’s here,” I

  • Carrying the cursed Alphas Heir   Chapter 39

    KaelI’d been in a foul mood ever since that damned confrontation with Rowan.Chelsea had tried to soothe me, all soft eyes and gentle words. It only made me more irritable.Vivienne hadn’t even bothered. She’d been keeping her distance, probably sensing the storm brewing under my skin.Carlos, unfortunately, didn’t have the luxury of avoiding me. Being my Beta meant he was stuck with me, bad mood and all.“You haven’t heard a damn word I’ve said,” he muttered, leaning back from the map spread between us.He was right.“Sorry,” I said with a sigh, rubbing the back of my neck. “My mind’s… elsewhere.”Carlos arched a brow. “Let me guess. This about what happened in your office the other day?”I gave him a curt nod, jaw tightening.He exhaled and rolled up the map, clearing the table with a sweep of his arm. “And here I thought we were going to get through this meeting without dancing around the obvious.”“Have the elders said anything?” he asked after a moment, his tone more serious now

  • Carrying the cursed Alphas Heir   Chapter 38

    Rowan’s POVThe stew smells like rosemary and something warm I can’t quite name.Thessaly sets the bowl in front of me like I’m made of glass, like I might break if she moves too quickly. Her eyes flicker to my hands, still slightly trembling from the earlier storm I unleashed in the Alpha’s office.I don’t say thank you. I just nod. She doesn’t expect more, not when she can feel the anger still radiating off of me. We sit at the small table in silence, spoons clinking gently against ceramic. The cottage is warm, firelight throwing shadows along the walls. I’m grateful for it. Not just the warmth,but the silence. The stillness.“You didn’t have to scream at him,” Thessaly says eventually, her voice quiet, hesitant.“I know,” I reply, setting my spoon down. “I wanted to.”She chuckles, but there’s no real humor in it. Just tired affection. “You shook the whole damn house. I thought the windows might crack.”I let a breath out. “Good.”We sit again in the hush.Then, like she’s choosin

  • Carrying the cursed Alphas Heir   Chapter 37

    Rowan’s POVMy fists are clenched the entire walk to the Alpha’s house.Thessaly trails behind me, nearly jogging to keep up.“Rowan, just slow down. Please think for one second—”“No.” My voice is hard. “She touched me, Thess. She touched my face and told me my child isn’t mine. Told me they’d take them from me. And she said it like it was fact. Like it was done.”“She’s trying to get a reaction out of you,” she pleads. “You’re giving her what she wants—”“Then good for her,” I snap, marching faster. By the time I reach the Alpha's office, I don’t knock. I don’t announce myself. I push the door open, heart hammering, rage making my hands shake.He is there.Of course he is.Sitting by the window, shirt undone, broad shoulders relaxed, sipping something from a glass like nothing in the goddamned world is wrong.He stands the moment he sees me.“Rowan?”His voice is low, surprised, confused. I half expect him to ask what’s wrong. But he doesn’t. He just stares, as if seeing a ghost.

  • Carrying the cursed Alphas Heir   chapter 36

    Rowans povI was still lying in bed, mentally summoning the strength to get up, shower, and make my way to Dr. Bradley’s office for my check-up.“The doctor’s going to throw a fit if you show up late again,” Thessaly called out casually, perched by the window with a nail polish brush in hand, painting her nails a shade of deep crimson.I groaned and rolled over, not ready to face the day. “I feel fat.”She glanced up, arching a brow. “You’re barely showing.”“It’s not about how I look,” I muttered. “I feel fat.”Thessaly set the polish bottle down with a dramatic sigh and stood. “Rowan, nobody expects you to be stick-thin. You’re three months pregnant.”I glanced down at my belly. The bump had made its appearance not long after we returned from Whitefang Pack,one morning I’d woken up flat as usual, and the next, Thessaly had lovingly dubbed it a cute little bumpy.I hadn’t found it cute. I’d stared at it in horror.“See?” Thessaly said, walking over to me. “From this angle, I can’t e
