Chapter 3

مؤلف: Eirlys
The next day, I went to the hospital alone for an ultrasound. I carefully tucked the report into my bag.

The healer said the pup was healthy, the vitality of a top-tier pureblood already showing.

Relieved, I was about to leave when a sharp voice stopped me around the corner.

"Cersei, what are you doing here?"

Valerie blocked my path, her eyes fixed on me. "Why are you in the maternity ward? Don't tell me you're pregnant."

"It's none of your business."

"Of course it's my business," she sneered. "If it's Joey's pup, then it's my business."

"No wonder you signed the papers so quickly yesterday. You were planning to secretly have that bastard child so you could come back and blackmail Joey for money, weren't you?" she hissed, stepping closer.

"Get out of my way. I don't have time for you," I said, my face hardening as I tried to walk past her toward the stairs.

"You stop right there!"

The moment my foot hit the first step, a powerful shove slammed into my back.

Valerie had actually put her hands on me, trying to push me down the steep staircase.

A normal wolf would have tumbled down the stairs, the fall enough to make her miscarry.

But she had no idea who she'd just pushed. She'd messed with the Alpha King's daughter.

My Alpha blood screamed a warning. I twisted, my training kicking in as my hand shot out and gripped the railing in a death grip, stopping my fall.

But the sudden movement made me twist my ankle hard, and a sharp pain shot through my abdomen.

I clutched my stomach, gasping for air, and turned to glare at Valerie.

She was clearly shocked that I'd managed to catch myself. A flash of panic crossed her eyes, but she quickly masked it with a look of innocence.

"Oh my, Cersei, you're so clumsy! You should watch where you're going. You almost got yourself killed," she said, covering her mouth with a fake gasp.

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Joey what you just did?" I straightened up, gritting my teeth against the pain in my stomach.

"Tell Joey?" Valerie laughed as if it were the funniest joke in the world. She smugly patted her own flat stomach. "You think he'll believe you? There aren't any cameras here. Besides, do you really think he cares about your little mutt? Even if you told him I pushed you, he'd probably thank me!"

She walked down two steps, looking down on me.

"You want to know why?" she purred, pulling a pregnancy report from her designer purse and waving it in my face. "Because I'm pregnant, too. And Joey told me himself that the only child he will ever care about is mine."

I stared at the report, my heart feeling like it was being squeezed in a vise.

"Oh, and he said something else," Valerie leaned in, her smile twisting into a cruel sneer. "He said he's so glad a low-life cleaner like you didn't get pregnant. It would have been such a mess to get rid of you."

The pain in my abdomen intensified.

Not from the push, but from the absolute cruelty of the man I once loved.

He used to touch my stomach and say that if we had a child, he would give them the entire world.

It was all just a string of empty, pathetic lies.

Seeing my pale face, Valerie's lips curved into a satisfied smile. "So, a little friendly advice: get rid of that bastard, or else..."

She gave me a threatening wink and turned to leave.

  • His Cleaner Mate Is the Alpha Heiress   Chapter 9

    Three months later. A deep winter snow covered the city, and the day of my coronation as the new Alpha Queen had arrived.That morning, I dressed in a royal gown, custom-made by master artisans over several months.Intricate dark gold embroidery formed ancient wolf pact symbols on the black velvet, and the wide skirt perfectly concealed my now prominent belly.Surrounded by a heavy guard, I stepped into the car.The motorcade slowly pulled out of the estate gates.Just as the car was about to turn onto the main road, I saw a figure at the far end of the long, tree-lined driveway. I almost didn't recognize him.It was Joey.He was wearing a thin, tattered jacket, shivering in the bitter wind. His once-immaculate hair was a matted mess, and his face was covered in a dirty, unshaven beard.He was holding a piece of cardboard he must have pulled from the trash. Scrawled on it in marker were the words: "Cersei, in my next life, I'll spend it making it up to you.""Stop for a moment," I said

  • His Cleaner Mate Is the Alpha Heiress   Chapter 8

    The autumn storm raged on, as if trying to wash away all the filth in the city.After being unceremoniously thrown out, Joey didn't leave.He lingered outside the gates like a soulless ghost, pacing day after day.On the fifth day, the rain grew heavier, driven by an icy wind.From the warmth of my second-floor sitting room, I held a glass of warm milk and looked down through the floor-to-ceiling window.Outside the main gate, there was another familiar figure. It was Joey's mother.The woman who had once looked down her nose at me, calling me a lowly cleaner, was now kneeling without a shred of dignity in a muddy puddle.She was clinging to the iron bars, her wails piercing through the storm."Cersei! My dearest daughter! Please, open the gates!" she shrieked, her fingers clawing at the iron bars. "It was all our fault! We were wrong! But the pup in your belly... that's my grandchild! Our blood!"Seeing her tear-streaked, pathetic state, I felt a wave of nausea.Her grandson?I turned

    The autumn rain was relentless. A desperate Joey had been standing outside the Alpha King's estate gates for three days and three nights.On the morning of the fourth day, I finally gave the nod for the guards to let him into the living room.The once-proud CEO was now soaked to the bone, a pathetic sight.His hair was matted to his pale face, and dark circles hung under his eyes. He stood shivering on the luxurious rug like a stray dog."Cersei..." His voice was a raw, hoarse whisper. Tears mixed with rainwater as they dripped onto the carpet. "Valerie's gone."I sat on the sofa, watching him with cold, indifferent eyes."She used my credentials to transfer the last of the company's liquid assets," Joey choked out. "She blocked my number. I went to find her, but all she left behind was a pile of debt collection notices..."He finally understood his own stupidity."I was wrong, Cersei, I was so wrong." Joey suddenly broke down, sobbing as he fell heavily to his knees. "I finally get it

    Back at the Alpha King's estate, my father carefully reviewed my pregnancy report, a rare smile finally breaking through his stern expression."Well done, Cersei." He looked up, his eyes filled with a father's pride and sympathy. "You've passed the heir's trial. Now, all you need to do is rest and take care of yourself. I will give you and the pup the best protection. As for everything else, your father will handle it."His deep, powerful voice filled me with a sense of warmth.This was true family. Not like Joey, who would toss me aside like trash for his own gain."However, I found something interesting about that woman," my father said, leaning back in his chair with a flicker of amusement. He handed me an investigation report.I opened it.Valerie's family's hotel chain had gone completely bankrupt six months ago. Not only was she penniless, but she was also saddled with tens of millions in debt.Her return wasn't about rekindling an old flame.She was desperate and saw Joey, who h

    Fifteen minutes later.A fierce wind suddenly whipped up outside. The deafening roar of rotor blades grew closer, shaking the motel's windows so violently they rattled in their frames."What the hell is that?" Joey frowned, walking irritably to the window.The next second, he froze.Three military-grade black helicopters hovered over the motel, the force of their rotors rattling the building to its foundations. Emblazoned on their sides was the blood moon crest—the undeniable symbol of the Alpha King.The helicopters landed in the open lot, and dozens of heavily armed Wolf Guards poured out, instantly surrounding the dilapidated building.BANG!The room door was kicked open, slamming against the floor and sending up a cloud of dust.Flanked by two rows of elite Wolf Guards, a tall, imposing man stepped into the cramped room.He wore a perfectly tailored black suit, his eyes radiating an aura of immense power."Father," I said.Alpha King Alaric Sterling, the supreme ruler of all North

  • His Cleaner Mate Is the Alpha Heiress   Chapter 4

    The next morning, the door to my cheap motel room was pounded on so hard it sounded like it would splinter.I opened it to find Joey and his mother standing there, their faces cold with fury.Joey stormed in, his face dark. "Cersei, what did you do to Valerie at the hospital yesterday?"I looked at him, so ready to accuse me, and found it utterly laughable."I think that's my question to ask. She tried to push me down a flight of stairs, a crime I haven't yet reported," I said, my eyes like ice."You're still lying!" Joey roared, the veins in his forehead bulging. "Valerie came home last night in tears! She said her stomach hurt so much she couldn't sleep. You must be jealous she's carrying my pup, so you tried to hurt our baby!"I laughed, but there was no humor in it. "I told you, I didn't do anything.""Enough!" Joey cut me off, refusing to listen. "Valerie wouldn't even hurt a fly, let alone push you. And I'm not here to listen to your excuses."He pulled a check from his pocket an
