Cheating on a Frenzied Alpha, Pregnant with his Child 116
SERENA POV"Are you planning to stare at that notebook until it produces a husband who doesn't annoy you?"I looked up.Kael stood in the bedroom doorway holding two cups of tea, his hair still damp from the shower. He wore the expression of a man who had woken to find his wife already up and considered it a personal betrayal.I snapped the notebook shut. "Why are you awake?""Because someone stole the blanket.""I'm pregnant. I require resources.""You had the entire blanket.""Exactly. And now you're complaining about resource distribution. Perhaps we need an independent review."He stopped beside the bed. "Do not bring the council into our marriage.""Then stop running it like an inefficient administration."He laughed and handed me a cup. I watched him settle into the chair across from me. He looked relaxed, but I knew the tightness around his mouth. 'He wants to ask something. He's deciding whether he has the right.'"Ask," I said.His eyes lifted. "What were you writing?""My th

SERENA POVAdrian was already waiting when I arrived.He stood beside the window of a quiet restaurant in a dark shirt, sleeves rolled to his elbows, his hair slightly untidy. A cup of coffee sat untouched in front of him.For a moment, I forgot why I had come.I remembered another version of us. Two foolish young people who believed that loving each other was enough to make the world behave. Adrian had been my childhood crush, my escape from a family that taught me to calculate the price of everything, and the man I had betrayed my husband for.Seeing him still made my heart behave like an idiot.He noticed me hovering at the entrance. "Serena.""Adrian."Neither of us moved. Then he pulled out a chair. "Sit down before you change your mind."I narrowed my eyes. "You make it sound like I'm here to confess to a crime.""Aren't you?"I stopped breathing. His face softened at once. "Sorry. That came out wrong.""No, it didn't." I sat and set my handbag beside me. 'Fair hit. Annoyingly f

SERENA POVThe first woman who came to our house carrying a compensation receipt slapped it against Kael's chest."Tell me this isn't another trick."Kael looked down at the paper, then back at her. "I won't ask you to trust me. You can verify the transfer with the independent recovery office."Mrs. Bellamy's eyes were red. She had lost her home in the relocation scandal, bounced between relatives for weeks, and bled her savings dry on temporary rooms. Her compensation had landed that morning, and she looked anything but relieved. She looked furious."My husband sold his tools to pay our rent. My daughter quit her training program because we couldn't afford the transport. And you expect me to be grateful because someone handed back part of what was stolen?""No."I stood a few steps away, fingers knotted together. 'Defend yourself,' I thought, then, a heartbeat later, 'Please don't.' He could have said the transfer wasn't his personal decision, that he hadn't diverted a single coin. H

SERENA POVThe council chamber doors slammed open just as Councilman Harrow raised his hand to call the final vote.Every head turned.I stood in the doorway, breathing hard, Daniel behind me and Ruth Calder at his side. I had sprinted from the car park because the meeting had started early, and my unborn child had decided today was an excellent day to make me regret every flight of stairs in the building.Kael stood at the far end of the chamber. He wasn't seated among the council. His authority was still suspended, and he had come as a witness, not an Alpha who could order a room to listen. When our eyes met, he started toward me.I lifted a hand. "I'm fine," I mouthed.He stopped, though the worry never left his face. 'Liar,' his eyes said. 'Stubborn,' mine answered.Harrow tapped his pen against the table. "This is a formal session. If the witnesses intend to disrupt proceedings—""They intend to take part in the hearing they were invited to," Daniel cut in. "The resident represen

SERENA POV"You're crushing the appointment card."I looked down. The paper was folded tight between my fingers, its edges bent from how hard I'd been gripping it. I smoothed it against my thigh. "I'm not nervous."Kael glanced over from the driver's seat. "Of course not.""I mean it.""So do I.""You're agreeing too quickly. It's suspicious."He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.We were headed to the clinic for my follow-up scan. They'd explained that the first scan had happened early enough that some measurements needed repeating. No immediate concern, they'd said. My imagination had ignored that and found new reasons to panic anyway. Every ache had become evidence. Every wave of tiredness felt like a mistake I was making.'Pregnancy comes with uncertainty. I know that. Knowing it and feeling it are different animals.'Kael reached across the console and opened his hand. I placed mine in it."I could ask the clinician to write every answer down twice," he offered. "One copy for

SERENA POV"If the Alpha's office can't investigate itself, why should anyone trust it to investigate others?"My question hit the council chamber harder than I'd intended.A few members traded uncomfortable glances. Others stared as though I'd strolled into their meeting and personally insulted their mothers. I folded my hands tightly in front of me to stop them from fidgeting.The charter review was barely twenty minutes old, and I already regretted speaking first. Not because I was wrong. Because being right in a room full of people who loved the old arrangement was exhausting.Daniel sat at the end of the table with the amended charter. Marcus held a seat near the center. Kael sat several rows back, a silent observer, his executive authority suspended, refusing to use his presence to sway anyone. I was grateful. If I was going to speak, my words had to be mine.Councilman Harrow straightened his cuffs. "No one says complaints should be ignored, Miss Serena. The worry is that an in
