He said he was going to force me to give him an heir, and he stabbed me twice with a silver blade!” “Easy, Bella. Take deep breaths. Jesse is in prison. He will stand trial, and
(Isabella’s POV)I refuse to open my mouth. There is no way after everything I’ve lost that this monster is taking my wolf or anything else from me, for that matter. Jesse slides one arm under me. Lifts me up. Then yanks my ponytail, pulling my head backward I’m able to shift my position and free

(Santiago’s POV)I met Layla at her prenatal checkup appointment. The doctor confirms the baby is developing properly and is healthy for this stage of gestation. Layla sighs with relief. “That is good news! Oh, Santiago, I feel like I’m carrying a boy…a healthy, strong heir…your healthy, strong hei
