Rhys's POV

I hurried away from the beach, but the image of Becca was burned into my mind.

In the moonlight, her eyes shone like stars.

That close contact almost made my wolf lose control.

The "bond of fate" my father mentioned—I could feel it now, clear as day.

It was a yearning that came from the depths of my soul, making me want to protect her, possess her, mark her.

Damn it.

I punched the trunk of a nearby palm tree.

She was carrying another wolf's child. I shouldn't be having these thoughts.

"Alpha?"

My second-in-command, Marcus, stepped out of the shadows.

"How's the patrol?" I forced my voice to sound normal.

"All clear. But..." Marcus hesitated. "There's something you need to see."

I followed him to the island's sacred center.

A legendary, ancient Moonwood tree grew there. It had been dormant for centuries.

But now, it was blooming.

Silver flowers glowed softly in the night, breathtakingly beautiful.

"The Moonwood only blooms when a king is born," Marcus said with reverence. "It

    Becca’s POV"I will."Those two words felt like they triggered some ancient magic.A golden light flared in Rhys’s eyes, and I felt something stir in my chest.The bond of fate, awakened at last."I will make you happy," he pulled me into his arms, his voice trembling with emotion. "For a lifetime. For all of eternity."The moment he spoke those vows, an invisible light burst from us.The entire room was bathed in a sacred energy.Samuel giggled happily in his cradle, as if he could feel the shift too.When the news spread across the island, everyone said they saw a miraculous beam of light shoot from the main villa into the night sky."True fated mates!""The Moon Goddess's blessing is upon us!"The pack immediately began preparing for the ceremony.But it was less a preparation and more a spontaneous island-wide celebration for us....The night before the ceremony, I received a letter from Cayden.Seeing his familiar handwriting, my heart was as calm as still water.The letter was f

    Becca’s POV"This child's father is Rhys."My words exploded in the silent room.Cayden’s face turned to ash, his body trembling."No... impossible..." he muttered. "Impossible...""I swore an oath on my Alpha title," he closed his eyes in pain. "That if you didn't choose me after you recovered your memory, I would leave forever.""It seems I don't even have the right to fight for you anymore."He struggled to his feet and gave the baby in my arms one last look.The last hope he thought he had was now shattered."Goodbye, Becca," his voice broke. "May you… may you both be happy."With that, he walked out of the room without looking back.Rhys, meanwhile, was frozen in place, completely unable to process what had just happened."Becca, what did you just say?" his voice trembled. "The baby is... mine?""Yes," I said, exhausted. "But I'm very tired now. I want to rest. We can talk later."Rhys wanted to ask more, but seeing my pale face, he chose to remain silent."Okay, you rest," he str

    Becca’s POVRhys stared at me, shocked."Becca... why..."My face suddenly flushed."It's nothing... I just got my memory back."With my memories returned, it was hard to accept everything at once.All the past events Lilith had accused me of came rushing back.I picked up the baby in my arms and held him out to Rhys."This child... he looks like you. Have you noticed?" I looked up at Rhys. "His eyes, his features... they're so similar. Here, hold him. You can feel his powerful life force. He and you..."Rhys froze, unsure what to say.Just then, the door opened.Cayden walked in, his gaze shifting between me and Rhys.When he saw my clear, calm eyes, he froze."You... you got your memory back," his voice trembled."Yes," I said calmly. "I remember everything."A storm of emotions crossed Cayden's face—hope, fear, and deep remorse."Becca, I can explain—""You don't need to," I cut him off. "Even with my memory back, my answer is the same. I will never go back with you.""Why?" Cayden

    Becca’s POV"Enough."Rhys’s voice was like ice as he strode into the delivery room."Your little trick failed, Seraphina," he snarled, his voice dripping with contempt. "Did you really think a simple translocator could fool the Alpha of this territory?"Seraphina’s face went white."I placed surveillance sigils in both rooms," Rhys continued. "I saw your every move."He walked to my side, gently stroking the baby in my arms."No one will ever take my child," his voice was a low threat. "Not even in death."The other Alphas from the summit crowded into the room, having heard everything."According to pack law," one of the elders said grimly, "attempting to steal the pup of another pack is punishable by exile. Never to return to any pack.""No!" Cayden rushed forward. "She's my mother! Please—""Pack law is absolute," Rhys cut him off coldly. "Not even for an elder."Cayden looked desperately at his mother, then at the child in my arms.His eyes were a storm of pain, disappointment, and

    Becca’s POVI stared at the crystal vial, my mind a tangled mess.What would recovering my memory mean?Pain, or release?"I have one condition," I finally said, my voice clear in the night air."What condition?" Cayden asked eagerly."You will swear an Alpha's Oath," I said, my voice cutting through the night. "You will swear that if my memories return, and I still do not choose you, you will walk away from my life—and the life of my child—forever."The color drained from Cayden's face.An Alpha's Oath was the most sacred and severe vow.To break it meant losing all power, becoming the lowest of omegas."Cayden..." Seraphina tried to stop him."I agree," Cayden cut her off, his eyes burning with a desperate resolve. "I swear on my title as Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, that if Becca recovers her memory and does not choose me, I will leave her life forever."The power of the oath solidified in the air. Everyone felt its sacred bond.I took the vial and didn't hesitate.I tilted my hea

Not an accessory.But a respected Luna.Rhys proudly introduced me to every guest."She's due any day now," he said, looking lovingly at my belly. "The child will be the most powerful heir."I was lost in this happiness until I saw a familiar figure.Cayden stood in the corner of the hall, watching me.There was no anger in his eyes, only a deep pain and longing.I tried to avoid his gaze, but he was already walking toward me."Becca," his voice was as smooth as silk.
