SERENA POV

I didn't sleep. Not really.

I lay beside Kael with my eyes closed, pretending everything was normal while the photograph burned steadily behind my eyelids. My mother. Kael's father. Standing together years before I had even met Kael, close enough in that photo to suggest something more than a passing acquaintance.

And that message. “You're asking the wrong question, Serena.”

I hated whoever was doing this to me. Not because they were frightening me, though they were. Because they wer

    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

    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
