Selena.

Dinner was announced just after sunset.

I had hoped the day would end quietly, that I could retreat to my room and gather myself after seeing Silas earlier, but that hope dissolved the moment a servant informed me that the family would be dining together in the private chamber.

Family.

The word felt heavier tonight.

When I entered the chamber, the long wooden table was already set. Candles burned low and steady, casting warm light across polished silver and crystal glasses. Denver’s mo

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   His pup

    Denver.When they first told me Talia had gone into labor, I barely looked up from the report in my hand.“How far along?” I asked flatly.“Too early,” one of the guards answered. “Her mother is panicking.”That alone told me enough.I leaned back slowly in my chair, irritation settling deeper into my chest. The timing was inconvenient. The situation is even more so.“Take her to the pack clinic,” I said. “The healers there can handle it.”The guard hesitated slightly.“Her mother insists she should be taken to the human hospital instead. She says the birth is complicated.”Of course she did.I closed the file in front of me with more force than necessary.The entire situation already felt like a burden I never asked for.Talia had spent months insisting the child belonged to me while I spent those same months ignoring her attempts to force meaning into something I never believed in to begin with.There had been no real bond.Still, her mother refused to let the matter die quietly.“S

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   Grief.

    Selena.Cold.That was the first thing I noticed when I woke up, which was strange because I hardly ever got cold.Then came the sounds.A steady beeping somewhere close to me. The distant murmur of voices outside the room. The soft squeak of shoes moving across polished hospital floors.For a few long seconds, I lay there listening to it all, trapped somewhere between sleep and consciousness while my body struggled to catch up with my mind.When I finally tried to open my eyes, my eyelids felt unbearably heavy, and for one brief, terrifying moment panic flickered through me when they refused to cooperate immediately.But eventually they opened.White ceiling.Bright lights.Hospital.The memories returned slowly after that, arriving in broken fragments that pieced themselves together faster than I wanted them to.The contractions.The pain.Jameson’s voice is telling me to breathe.The operating theatre.Then—The babies.My entire body tensed instinctively.A dull ache pulled throug

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   Twins.

    Jameson.By the time I stepped out of the operating theatre, the tension that had been holding my shoulders tight for hours finally eased, if only slightly.It had gone well.Better than I had allowed myself to expect.Selena was stable. The procedure had been clean, controlled, exactly the way it should have been, and the twins—Two healthy boys.I could still hear the sound of their cries in my head, sharp and alive, cutting through the sterile quiet of the theatre in a way that had grounded something in me I hadn’t realized was unsettled.For a brief moment, I allowed myself to picture it.Selena is waking up.The confusion first. Then the realization. Then that quiet, soft smile I had seen only a handful of times, the one she didn’t give easily.It would be worth it.Everything she had pushed through. The exhaustion. The fear she never fully voiced. The way she carried more than she should have, even before the pregnancy.For a moment, I almost felt… satisfied.Then the doors at t

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   Wishes.

    Selena.The room was quiet in a way I had come to depend on. Not empty, not lonely, just steady—the kind of quiet that gave my thoughts space to settle without rushing me.Books were spread across the bed around me, some open, others turned over with folded pages marking where I had stopped when exhaustion caught up with me. My notes lay beside them, messy but familiar, the ink slightly smudged where my hand had dragged across the page too many times.I shifted carefully, pressing one hand against the small of my back as I adjusted my position. Pregnancy had changed everything, not all at once, but enough that nothing felt entirely mine anymore. My body felt heavier these days, not just in weight, but in a way that made every movement something I had to think through first. Sitting, standing, turning, and even breathing sometimes felt deliberate.My gaze dropped to my stomach.Full. Tight. Alive.The scan had confirmed it months ago, but the reality still hadn’t settled in the way i

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   Not Acceptance

    Denver.The staff was already gathered in the main hall, waiting in that quiet, deliberate way that told me everything had been arranged before I got there.I didn’t need anyone to tell me my mother was behind it. The arrangement had her fingerprints all over it—neat, controlled, unnecessary.I had told her I didn’t want a ceremony. Not today. Not for this. Not for something that still didn’t feel settled.It wasn’t denial.It also wasn’t accepted.I wasn’t about to let them turn something uncertain into something permanent just because it made things easier to manage.She called it tradition.I called it pressure dressed up as duty.Still, she had insisted I be present.“For appearance,” she said, like that ended the conversation.It always did with her. She spoke as if disagreement was just another detail I would eventually learn to ignore.So I came.Talia stood near the center of the hall with her parents.I noticed the change immediately.Her pregnancy was no longer something sub

  • He called me fat....I stole his uncle   A hard choice.

    Denver.Five cycles.I didn’t need anyone to tell me how much time had passed since my last meeting with the council of Alphas. The implications of their warning follow me everywhere. I could barely close my eyes to sleep, not when I kept waking up like something had been taken while I wasn’t looking. Even my body had started acting like rest wasn’t necessary anymore.Every lead followed the same pattern—reports that sounded certain until they weren’t, scents that faded before they could settle into anything real, names that turned out to belong to someone else.It was always close enough to keep me moving, but never enough to finish it.I had men covering territories that didn’t even concern us—calling in favors I don’t give. Watching places I shouldn’t have to care about.Yet, nothing. At some point, I stopped calling it a coincidence. Every lead felt like I was always one step too late. Like someone had already moved her before I got there.I stood in my office, one hand braced

    Selena.Later that evening, I sat at the edge of my bed, fingers tracing the edge of the silk sheet, thinking about the day. The conversation.with Denver mother, Tiana cold words lingered, but none was enough to take my mind from thinking about him.About Denver. About the way his eyes lingered o

    Denver.I was heading back to my room that evening when a guard intercepted me.“Alpha… your mother would like to see you in the sitting room,” he said.I rubbed the bridge of my nose, trying to wipe away the fatigue that had settled into my bones after the endless meetings, the elders’ scrutiny, a

    Selena.I stood at the window and looked out at the land below. From here, I could see how large Denver’s pack truly was.The buildings stretched far into the distance. Roads, lights, homes, training grounds, guard towers. It was bigger.More developed. More structured than the pack I had come from

    Denver.I was halfway down the hall to my room when one of the guards walked up to me.“Alpha, Tiana was here asking for you,” he said. “She’s waiting.”I didn’t think twice. “Give her access.”The door to my room had barely shut behind me when I started pulling off my jacket.
