My father’s ultimatum left me hollow. It felt like the ground had vanished beneath my feet, leaving me trapped in a nightmare I could not wake from. I couldn't marry Travis. Eileen and her mother would make my life hell if I stole the man she’d spent years chasing. But I couldn't terminate the pregnancy either. This child was the only piece of real happiness I had left, the only thing that still felt mine.

"Dad... there’s no need for this. Travis isn't the father. We’ve... never even met before today. Please, just believe me. Fred... please," I begged, my voice breaking as I looked between them.

My father’s gaze remained stony, unreadable. But I caught a flicker of pity in Fred’s eyes. He stepped forward and pulled me into a tight embrace, his grip firm as if trying to hold me together.

"Shh, don't cry, Aubrey. We have to do this to end the scandal," Fred whispered. "If you refuse the lineage test, the pack will assume Travis is telling the truth and you're just hiding it for Eileen's

    It had been three days since I last answered a call from my father or Fred. They knew I was at the condo, but they hadn’t bothered to come get me yet. That worked in my favor. The silence felt temporary, like a pause before something inevitable, but I was grateful for it. Danica and I still hadn’t found a man willing to be paid to play the role of the father. I was starting to lose hope.“Aub! Holy shit, he said yes!”I nearly jumped off the couch at Danica’s scream. I had been scrolling through my Facebook friends list, my thumb moving mindlessly, already convinced it was pointless. She burst into the living room and shoved her phone screen in my face, barely able to contain herself.“Look at him. What do you think?” she asked.The photo showed a guy who looked harmless and relatively innocent. Clean smile. Soft eyes. The kind of face people trusted without thinking twice.“Who is he?” I asked.“I met him at a club about four months ago. He looks like he has money. When I messaged hi

    I felt a wave of dizziness as the results were announced, my vision blurring for a moment as the words sank in. When Fred spoke, everything finally clicked into place. He had tampered with the results. He had used his Beta influence within the Thorne Pack hospital to protect our family name, just as he always did when things were about to spiral out of control.What I couldn’t wrap my head around was the fact that we were in Travis’s territory. Everyone here lived in fear of him. One wrong move and you were done. So how did Fred have connections in a place like this? And how was he able to slip a fake test through without anyone catching on?"See, Dad?" Fred said, his voice calm and convincing, as if this were nothing more than a business discussion. "It’s as Aubrey said. Travis isn't the father. We can't force this on her.""That doesn’t mean she’s off the hook," my father snapped, his eyes sharp and unyielding. "She still has to present the real father to us."Without waiting for a

    The world went silent around me. My knees turned to water as I stared at the man whose dark eyes were locked onto mine with a terrifying intensity. It felt as if the floor beneath my feet could give way at any moment.What was he doing? How could he drop a bombshell like that in front of my entire family?Every gaze in the room was a weapon. My father’s disbelief, my brother’s shock, and Eileen. Her eyes were twin pools of pure, murderous rage, fixed entirely on me. My heart hammered against my ribs so hard I could barely breathe, each beat echoing with dread."What?! How is this even possible?" my brother Fred roared. Out of everyone, he was the one I feared disappointing the most. He was the future Beta, the one who held the family’s honor together. Seeing his faith in me crack hurt more than the accusations.Eileen, still clutching a jagged piece of the broken vase, stopped sobbing. Her face contorted as she turned toward me. "Aubrey, is this true?!" she demanded. There was a flick

    I could see the triumph in Eileen’s eyes all night. It shone in the way she smiled too wide, in how she lifted her chin whenever someone congratulated her. This was her dream. Marrying into one of the wealthiest Alpha lineages in the country. To her, the money and the status were the real prizes. The fact that Travis was devastatingly handsome was just a bonus she liked to show off.I stood up and excused myself, heading toward the buffet. I could not stand the conversation at our table anymore. Every word revolved around mergers, territory assets, offshore accounts, and power plays that felt heavy and suffocating. It made my skin crawl.“Eileen never mentioned her sister was this stunning.”I turned and saw William standing there with an easy smile. I returned it awkwardly as he slid into the seat beside me. If I remembered correctly, he was Travis’s cousin. I had felt his gaze on me throughout the ceremony, lingering longer than necessary, but I had brushed it off as my imagination.

    "Easy, please..." I winced as my Nanny, the estate’s oldest housekeeper and the only one who had ever treated me like family, carefully dabbed antiseptic on the bruises Eileen had left on my arm. Her hands were slow and gentle, as if she were afraid I might shatter if she pressed too hard.The sting made me suck in a breath, but I stayed still. I was used to pain like this. It was quiet pain that stayed hidden beneath long sleeves and forced smiles."What did you do to make her snap like that again, child?" Nanny sighed, her lined face heavy with worry as she examined the marks. "I’ve told you a thousand times. Do not talk back when she’s in a rage. Do not fuel her fire, or you will always be the one bleeding."I swallowed hard and stared at the floor. My wolf stirred uneasily, pacing at the back of my mind, sensing danger even here in the supposed safety of my room. "I... I’m pregnant, Nanny," I whispered, my voice barely holding together as I lowered my head.The room went completel
