He led me by the new armoury, the rebuilt creche, his silence some balm.

At the edge of the birch grove, he stopped. "Where next, Miss Angeline?"

Moonlight glinted off the scar above his brow — a souvenir from fending sixth-form bullies off me. My throat tightened.

"The lake," I whispered. "Our lake. The one where we … where you taught me how to skip stones.”

Malcolm’s smile contained decades of sunsets shared. "Thought you'd never ask."

"Really?" I said softly, as if to myself.

  • Dumped My Unloyal Alpha   Chapter 146

    We sprinted through the long corridors toward the infirmary, the sterile scent of antiseptic growing stronger with every step. My mind was a storm of memories I had tried to bury. Hazel. The son of Yoan, the woman Nathaniel had left me for. The child who was a living reminder of the betrayal that once shattered my life.When we burst through the double doors, the air was thick with the sound of a baby’s frantic wailing."Luna, stay back!" Dr. Liana called out, but I pushed past her.In the center of the room, huddled on a medical cot, was a young boy, maybe eight. His face was smeared with dirt and dried blood, his clothes torn to rags. Clutched in his arms were two tiny, shivering infants—twins wrapped in a single, filth-stained blanket.He looked up, and for a second, I saw Nathaniel’s eyes looking back at me in betrayal."Angie?" he rasped, her voice cracking. "Is it really you?""Hazel," I breathed, my feet rooting to the spot. Malcolm stood like a wall behind me, his hand h

    The way she said it wasn't respectful. It wasn't pack. It was hungry. Intimate in a way that made my wolf snarl beneath my skin.Malcolm's jaw tightened. "Who is this?"A soft laugh. Warm. Dark. The kind of laugh that belonged in shadows and silk sheets."You don't recognize my voice, Malcolm? After everything we shared?" A deliberate pause. "I'm hurt."My blood turned to ice. Lira's hand froze over her cup. Mom's eyes went sharp as daggers.Malcolm's grip on the phone turned white-knuckled. "I don't know you.""Not yet," she purred. "But soon. Very soon." Another laugh, softer this time. "Tell me... is your pretty Luna standing right there? Listening? I hope so. I want her to hear this."Malcolm's voice dropped into that dangerous Alpha register—low, guttural, lethal. "You stay away from my wife.""Oh, I don't want her, darling." The woman's voice dipped even lower, dripping with promise. "I want you. And I always get what I want."The line went dead.The silence that follo

    The sun hadn't even fully cleared the jagged peaks of the Eastern Ridge when the pack bell began its rhythmic, bronze tolling. It was the heartbeat of the Black Widow territory—a signal that the world was moving, whether I was ready for it or not.From the granary nearby, the rhythmic thud-thud-thud of the Omegas pounding grain drifted through the open window, a domestic sound that usually felt grounding. Today, it just felt like a countdown.I rubbed my face with a heavy, bone-deep exhaustion. My eyes felt like they’d been scrubbed with sand, a souvenir from the hours spent staring at the silent phone and that cryptic journal until the moonlight faded into gray.Beside me, the bed was cold. Malcolm was already gone—likely prowling the perimeter or barking orders at the Sentinels after that midnight "ghost call."I forced myself out of bed, my hand instinctively resting on the curve of my stomach. The pup was quiet this morning, almost as if she were holding her breath, waiting fo

    Malcolm's jaw tightened at the question. His hands slid from my back to my hips, pulling me closer like he could shield me from the answer just by holding on tight enough.“The stranger,” he repeated, the word bitter on his tongue. “I don't know yet. That's what's eating at me.” He exhaled sharply, his breath warm against my temple. “He knew too much. Showed up too perfectly. And the way he looked at your stomach like he already knew what was growing there.”A chill ran down my spine. “You noticed that too.”“I notice everything when it comes to you.” He pulled back just enough to look at me, his dark eyes fierce and vulnerable all at once. “He wasn't surprised by the runes, Angie. He wasn't shocked by the pregnancy. He looked at you like he'd been waiting for you. For this.”I swallowed hard, my hand drifting unconsciously to the swell of my belly. The pup kicked again stronger this time, almost impatient."Do you want to stay up and read the journal with me tonight?" Malcolm as

    "You are. You always have been." Mom reached up, brushing a strand of hair from my face with a gentleness that undid me completely. "It's why you survive, Angie. It's why you'll keep surviving. But survival isn't the same as living. And right now, you have something worth living for."She looked down at my stomach, and something in her expression cracked just slightly, just for a moment."I wasn't there for you the way I should have been. After Iona passed away and after everything. I told myself I was giving you space, letting you heal, but the truth is..." She swallowed hard. "I didn't know how to help. I didn't know how to carry what you were carrying. So I stood at a distance and told myself watching was enough."Her voice dropped to barely a whisper. "It wasn't. It never is."I grabbed her hand before she could pull away. "Mom—""Don't forgive me, not yet. Not until I earn it. But don't push me away either." Her eyes met mine, and there was something raw there. Something d

    But the stranger was already gone vanished into the trees without a sound, without a trace, leaving nothing behind but a journal and the weight of a thousand new questions pressing down on all of us."But we need complete data, Luna Angie," Dr. Liana pressed, her voice carrying the weight of scientific urgency. "Without proper documentation genetic markers, growth patterns, viability rates we're working blind. One wrong assumption about how to cultivate it, and we lose everything."I held my ground, my hand still pressed protectively against my stomach. "And if we damage it during testing? If the extraction process kills the seeds before we understand how to propagate them? Then we have nothing. Not one plant. Not one berry. Just data we can't use and a extinct species we personally finished off."Rory, still clutching the Plumming Berry like a new parent with a newborn, looked between us with growing panic. "Maybe we don't do either yet? Maybe we just... look at it? From a distanc

    “Both of you, stop! Stop being so goddamn selfish! Let. Him. Go. Now. He's connected to me to our baby and every blow you land on him tears through me too. I can't—" I gasped, clutching my stomach as another wave of pain rippled through me. “I can't keep pretending your secrets are worth more than

    “Don't you even try to play me,” Malcolm grumbled, his voice vibrating with a low, dangerous heat. His knuckles were white where he gripped the bars, the silver-lined metal literally smoking against his skin, but he didn't let go. “You’ve spent years weaving lies. Why should I believe the 'anchor'

    Malcolm’s voice failed him. For the first time since I’d met him, the indomitable Alpha was speechless. He stared at Enrique, not with hatred, but with a horrifying realization dawning in his eyes as a jagged accusation—in decades.Enrique let out a wet, rattling breath, his eyes welling with oily

    "What the hell is this rat trying to pull? Has he completely lost his mind?" Malcolm snarled, his voice rising in a fresh wave of fury. "After everything he's done to my Luna, he still has the nerve to demand an audience? He’s in no position to be giving orders."Mom let out a long, weary sigh, he
