Cheating on a Frenzied Alpha, Pregnant with his Child 120
SERENA POVI stared at Adrian's message long after the screen went dark.When you're ready, Serena, we need to have one honest conversation about what happens next.He hadn't demanded anything. He hadn't asked me to leave Kael, and he hadn't used Amara's birth as a lever. Somehow, that made the message harder to ignore."You're thinking about what to say to him."Kael's voice pulled me back to the hospital room. He stood beside the bassinet, checking that the blanket hadn't slipped over our daughter's face. The nurse had already explained it twice, and he had listened like a man receiving a military briefing."Yes," I admitted.He nodded and went back to Amara. I hated how much that small gesture unsettled me. The old Kael would have snatched the phone. He would have demanded to know when it arrived, what it meant, and whether I planned to meet him. This Kael was giving me room, and I didn't know where to put it."Do you want to know what he said?""Only if you want to tell me.""He w

SERENA POVAmara stirred against my chest, making a tiny sound that reminded me how little she understood about the world she had entered.She had no idea her father might lose his position that morning. She had no idea the man holding her so carefully had spent years believing power was the only thing standing between him and disaster. And she certainly had no idea that the woman beside him was still trying to understand whether she could love him without losing herself.Kael tucked the blanket tighter around our daughter. "Is she comfortable?""She's a newborn, Kael. I doubt she's writing reviews of the hospital yet."He looked at me. I looked back. Then, to my surprise, he laughed, a small, tired, imperfect laugh that loosened something in the room."You're getting better at this," I told him."At holding her?""At asking instead of assuming."His smile settled into something more thoughtful. "I'm trying.""I know. And I'd say it's showing, but I don't want it going to your head. Y

SERENA POV"Kael, if you tell me to breathe one more time, I will divorce you before this baby arrives!"Kael looked as if I had threatened to execute him in public. "I didn't tell you to breathe.""You were thinking it!""I was thinking you should squeeze my hand."I squeezed. He yelped."Excellent," I gasped. "Now we're both suffering."A nurse hurried past as another contraction clamped around my middle, strong enough to strangle the insult I had been polishing. The clinician had assessed me soon after we arrived. Labor was progressing, and the maternity team was watching both me and the baby. I was terrified, and furious that no one had invented a way to have a baby without my body declaring war on itself."Where is the doctor?""Checking another patient. She's coming back.""Tell her I'm a very important patient."Kael pressed his lips together."Don't you dare laugh.""I'm not laughing.""Your face is about to.""I'm terrified, Serena. My face may be malfunctioning."A weak laug

SERENA POV"Who gave the council permission to discuss my unborn child?"My voice hit the chamber harder than I intended. Every conversation died.I stood beside Kael, one hand cradling the heavy curve of my belly. My back ached, my ankles had swollen to the size of grapefruits, and the baby had decided my ribs were a trampoline. I was in no mood for political nonsense.Unfortunately, political nonsense had arrived in expensive suits.Councilman Harrow straightened his papers. "Serena, no one questions your right to carry the child.""How generous. Shall I send a thank-you card?""The birth will raise questions of succession, security, and guardianship."Kael's jaw hardened. "Our child is not a council appointment.""The child is the offspring of a suspended Alpha whose position remains unresolved. The pack must prepare for every possibility."I scanned the table. Some members studied their hands. Others watched me like a priceless vase whose ownership was in dispute. Heat climbed my

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
