The main lodge was packed with wolves.

Not just the core pack members I had come to know over the past weeks, but what looked like every single person who belonged to Ironfang territory. They filled the long tables, lined the walls, and stood in the doorway. All of them were watching as Damien and I walked to the head of the room where the fireplace burned.

I could feel their attention through the bond now in a way I had not been able to before. Not individual thoughts or emotions, but a collec

  • Claimed By The Alphas Who Betrayed Me   Chapter Twenty-Six: Diplomatic Reckoning

    The representatives from Redwood and Clearwater arrived at the compound gates at exactly noon.We had chosen to receive them in the main lodge rather than neutral territory. Damien's reasoning was sound: if they wanted to see Elena, they came to our home. They accepted our hospitality. They acknowledged our strength by walking into our territory unarmed and undefended.Both packs had agreed to the terms.I stood near the fireplace with Elena in my arms. She was two weeks old and already looked a month along by human standards. More alert than any newborn should be. Her eyes tracked the movement of pack members setting up for the meeting with clear focus.Damien stood beside me in formal alpha clothing. Rafe and Luka flanked the entrances. Maren positioned herself near me, close enough to provide support but far enough not to appear defensive. The message was carefully constructed: confidence, strength, and the protection of something precious."Remember," Damien said quietly through t

    The pain was unlike anything I had experienced.Not just physical. The bond amplified everything. I could feel Damien fighting outside, feel his fear for me layered over his focus on keeping Bloodclaw away from the lodge. Could feel the pack's collective tension, their desperate determination to hold the line. Could feel the child inside me pushing toward birth with a power that felt too large for my body to contain."Push," Maren said. Her voice was steady and commanding. "Now, Aria. Push hard."I pushed.The world narrowed to just this. Just my body doing what it needed to do. Just Maren's voice guiding me through it. Just Calla's hand in mine grounding me when the pain threatened to pull me under completely.Outside the sounds of fighting were getting closer.I heard Rafe's voice through the communication system, strained and urgent. "Western line is holding but they are pushing hard. Luka, I need reinforcement on the southern approach."Luka's response was breathless. "Moving now.

    The next six weeks passed in a rhythm that was both routine and tense.My body changed faster than I was prepared for. By the end of the first week after the diplomatic meeting I was visibly pregnant. By the end of the third week I looked five months along despite being barely two months into the pregnancy. By week six I was moving carefully and breathing hard after simple tasks and feeling the child move constantly with a strength that sometimes made me gasp.Maren checked on me daily. "You are developing normally for a luna pregnancy," she said each time. "Fast by human standards but exactly where you should be.""I feel enormous.""You are carrying a child with alpha bloodline and Prime potential. Enormous is relative." She pressed her hands to my stomach and closed her eyes. "The child is strong. Healthy. The bond completion stabilized everything perfectly.""When will it come?""Soon. Another month at most. Maybe less." She looked at me seriously. "You need to start limiting your

  • Claimed By The Alphas Who Betrayed Me   Chapter Twenty-Two: Three Packs at the Border

    The meeting point was the same clearing where we had ambushed Bloodclaw three nights ago.Damien had chosen it deliberately. The ground still carried the scent of that fight. The message was clear: this pack knows how to defend itself.We arrived at dawn with Rafe, Luka, and six guards positioned strategically around the perimeter. Damien wore formal clothing that marked him as alpha, dark fabric with silver clasps that caught the early light. I wore something Maren had given me the night before, a dress in deep grey with embroidery at the collar that was apparently traditional for luna formal audiences.I felt ridiculous and powerful at the same time.The bond hummed between us as we took our positions at the center of the clearing. I could feel Damien's awareness tracking every approach, every sound, every shift in the wind that might indicate threat."Remember," he said quietly, "you are luna. That means you have authority here equal to mine. If they address you, you answer. If the

    The main lodge was packed with wolves.Not just the core pack members I had come to know over the past weeks, but what looked like every single person who belonged to Ironfang territory. They filled the long tables, lined the walls, and stood in the doorway. All of them were watching as Damien and I walked to the head of the room where the fireplace burned.I could feel their attention through the bond now in a way I had not been able to before. Not individual thoughts or emotions, but a collective awareness. The pack consciousness that Damien had told me about. The sense of being connected to something larger than yourself.It was overwhelming and grounding at the same time.Maren stood near the fireplace waiting. She wore formal clothing I had not seen on her before, dark fabric with silver embroidery that marked her as pack elder. She looked at us as we approached, and something moved in her expression that was approval and relief."The pack gathers to witness," she said. Her voice

  • Claimed By The Alphas Who Betrayed Me   Chapter Twenty: The Claiming

    The compound settled slowly after the fight.The wounded were tended to. Patrols were reinforced. The pack gathered in the main lodge to share the story of the ambush over and over, each telling adding details and emphasis until it became the kind of tale that would be remembered. Calla sat at the centre of attention, looking exhausted but relieved, Maren hovering nearby to make sure she actually rested instead of just claiming she was fine.Damien stood near the fire, answering questions and accepting gratitude from pack members who understood what tonight had cost and what it had won. I watched him from across the room and felt the bond humming warm and insistent between us.Tonight. We had said tonight.Around two in the morning, the lodge finally began to empty. Wolves drifted back to their cabins. The fire burned lower. The energy that had been running high since we returned started to fade into exhaustion.Damien found me near the back of the lodge."Are you ready?" he asked qui
