My Alpha forced me to sign a marriage contract: no love, no children.
He didn’t know I had fallen in love with him at first sight. And now, with only three months left until our contract expired, I was pregnant.
***
“Luna! You’re having twins!” the doctor exclaimed.
The two tiny, beating hearts on the ultrasound screen left my mind completely blank.
“Should I call the Alpha now?” she asked.
“No!” I blurted, the word coming out as a sharp, sudden cry.
The doctor’s smile froze.
My voice unsteady, I tried to explain, “We’ve been wanting this for so long. I want to surprise him myself.”
Her expression softened at once. “Oh, how lovely!”
I fled the hospital almost in a run. I had lied to her. My husband, Arren, the Alpha, had never wanted a baby. He had made me sign a contract to ensure it.
Arren was the Alpha King of the entire Eastern Sector, a man wholly devoted to his duty. Four years ago, his father had died suddenly under mysterious circumstances, and an Alpha could only be officially crowned as Alpha King after he took a Luna. He chose me, a mere servant. In return, he gave me a roof over my head and promised to help me find my mother, whom I hadn’t seen for as long as I could remember.
Our arrangement was strictly temporary and only 90 days left.
Now two babies grew inside me. How was I supposed to tell my husband that I had failed him in every way he had expected of this marriage?
I stood in front of my car and stared at my reflection in the window.
My cheeks were flushed, my eyes red and puffy from crying.
I glanced down at my stomach.
Two little lives lived inside me. I imagined tiny fingers curling around mine, and a soft, sweet voice calling me “Mama.”
Maybe the babies could change everything. Maybe they could turn this fake marriage into something real.
As soon as I got home, I lay down on the sofa and drifted off to sleep, replaying every possible future scenario in my head.
What felt like hours later, his scent woke me. Pine and cedar, with something warm beneath it, filled my lungs before I even opened my eyes.
I whispered, “Alpha Arren.”
He sank into the seat across from me, his gray eyes blazing with intensity as he ran a hand through his dark hair.
He looked exhausted. Then, without a word, he leaned forward, his large hand reaching out to cup my nape, pulling me toward him.
He didn't wait for permission. He claimed my lips in a kiss that was both weary and possessive.
I stopped thinking and simply let myself feel, my fingers curling into his shirt, pulling him closer. His tongue parted my lips, and he sucked gently at my lower lip, sending a shiver through me.
His other hand slid down my waist, gripping me as if to ensure I wasn't going anywhere. But as his lips lingered near my neck, his breath hitting my skin in ragged bursts, he suddenly stiffened.
He stayed there, buried in the crook of my neck, breathing me in with a sudden, sharp focus.
“You smell different,” he muttered.
Every muscle in my body locked up.
The babies, I thought.
Before his wolf could sense the truth, I pressed my hand to his chest and put distance between us.
I wanted to lie, but as I looked into his eyes, the words caught in my throat and wouldn’t come out.
What if he would accept it...
“I feel a little sick,” I whispered weakly, that was a part of turth.
“You should see a healer.”
He pulled back, pushed himself to his feet, and turned toward the bathroom.
“Wait.” I grabbed the pregnancy report from under the cushion where I’d hidden it. “There’s something I need to tell you.”
He stopped and turned around. “What is it?”
This was it.
Goddess.
Okay.
The moment that would change everything.
I stepped forward, but his entire body went stiff before I could utter a single word. His eyes darkened as he stared into the void.
Someone was contacting him through a mind link.
He turned away from me abruptly, cupping a hand around his ear as if amplifying the voice on the other end.
“Are you okay?” He sounded genuinely worried.
Gentle… and loving. He would never use such a soft tone for pack business.
The warmth I’d clung to turned to ice in my chest.
Only a handful of wolves could reach an Alpha through a private link like that.
And I knew exactly who he was speaking to the second I heard the soft, feminine voice reply in a sorrowful tone.
His ex-girlfriend.
His fated mate.
Katerina Mikaelson.

His Contract Luna Says Goodbye 54.
ELLARIA.I woke up slowly.My head felt heavy and my thoughts were fuzzy and disconnected. Everything hurt but in a distant way like the pain was happening to someone else.I blinked and tried to focus on the ceiling above me.Where was I?I turned my head slowly and the room came into view. A bedroom. Soft light filtering through curtains. Furniture I didn’t recognize.Everything clicked slowly until I realized where I was.Then I saw them.Caden was sitting in a chair near the window. Mirela was beside the bed holding my hand.I tried to sit up and my whole body protested. A groan escaped before I could stop it.“Easy.” Mirela’s hand pressed gently against my shoulder. “Don’t try to move too fast.”I looked at her and then at Caden and tried to make sense of what was happening.How did I get here? Where was here?Caden got up from his chair and crossed to the bedside table. He picked up a glass of water and brought it to me.“Here,” he said. His voice was quiet and steady. “Small si

ELLARIA. I ran until my lungs felt like they were going to burst. Ran until the sound of gunfire faded behind me and all I could hear was my own ragged breathing and the pounding of my feet against the forest floor. Then I stopped. My legs gave out and I stumbled forward and caught myself against a tree. My whole body was shaking. My hands. My legs. Everything. I listened with bated breath. Silence. The commotion from the clearing was gone. Too far away to hear anymore or finished completely. I didn't know which. Where was Arren? Was he out of there? If he got out… were any of them on his tail? The questions spiraled through my head and I couldn't answer any of them. I was a wreck. My chest was heaving and my throat was raw and I couldn't stop shaking no matter how hard I tried. I needed to move. Needed to find the attackers' vehicle. They had to have driven here which meant there was a car or van somewhere nearby. If I could find it I could get out of here. I pushed a
His Contract Luna Says Goodbye 52.
ELLARIA.They dragged me through the forest for what felt like hours.My arms hurt from where they gripped me. My legs were shaking from exhaustion and fear and the effort of keeping up with their pace.Every time I stumbled one of them would yank me upright without slowing down.The sun had set completely now and darkness pressed in from all sides. I could barely see where I was stepping. Tree roots caught my feet and I went down hard twice before they started being more careful about pulling me along.Not because they cared if I was hurt but because it was slowing them down.I listened to them talk as we walked.They were discussing routes and timing and whether anyone would have found the Alpha yet. Whether he was still alive or if he'd bled out in that cave.My stomach turned every time they mentioned him.I didn't know if Arren was still alive.These bastards wanted to use me as ransom but they didn't even let me make sure the man they wanted to negotiate with was still breathing

ARREN. She was screaming. I could hear her screaming my name but my body wouldn't move. My legs were dead weight. My arms hung useless at my sides. The man had her by the hair. Dragging her backward into the trees. She was clawing at his hands and fighting with everything she had but he was too strong. "Arren!" Her voice was raw. Desperate. "Arren please!" I tried to run to her but my feet wouldn't cooperate. Tried to call out but my throat had closed up. The man looked at me over her shoulder and grinned. Then he pressed a knife to her throat. I watched the blade bite into her skin. Blood ran down her neck in a thin stream. "No—" The word finally tore out of me but it was too late. He dragged the knife across. Her scream cut off. Her eyes went wide and found mine. Stayed there while the life drained out of them. I jolted awake. My whole body jerked and pain exploded through my side. I gasped and my eyes flew open. Darkness surrounded me. Dense and heavy. I blinked har
His Contract Luna Says Goodbye 50.
ELLARIA.I stared at them and tried to control the fear climbing up my throat.Five men stood in the forest with guns pointed at me. Arren lay unconscious at my side.I tried not to look at him because it would show just how helpless I felt right now.He was unconscious and dying likelyAnd I wouldn’t get to him in time.He wouldn’t heal if the silver shard was still lodged inside him. If these bastards left him alive and alone in these woods with no one but me and his attackers aware of his location, he wasn’t going to make it. He’d bleed out or the infection would take him or wild animals would find him before anyone else did.The unmasked one stepped forward and walked over casually. He kicked Arren’s legs hard.They didn’t move.Arren didn’t even flinch or make a sound. His body just lay there motionless against the rock.“Our orders were clear,” the man said. His voice was flat. “The Alpha needs to be negotiated with. We’ll leave him here.”He gestured to one of the masked men

ELLARIA. I was still staring at Arren when he pushed himself up off the body. He rose to his full height slowly and his hand went immediately to his side. His face twisted and he let out a sound that was half groan and half curse. Blood seeped through his fingers where he pressed against the wound. My eyes locked onto his hand. Onto the dark red spreading across his skin and dripping down to his hip. “Let me see it,” I said. “No.” His voice came out rough and hard. “We don’t have time.” I looked down at the body lying in the sand between us. At what used to be the man’s head but was now just a mottled mess of blood and bone and broken flesh. My stomach turned over and I had to look away. I swallowed hard and tried to push down the bile rising in my throat. Arren was already moving. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet. His grip was tight enough to hurt but I didn’t complain. “We need to go.” He was already pulling me toward the trees. I nodded because I couldn’t fi

ELLARIA. Three weeks had passed and I couldn't stop thinking about the patient. The one who'd bled from his eyes and ears and walked out of my hospital before I could study what had saved him. The one who’d said people were dying in Arren’s pack by the hundreds. I'd tried to let it go and focus
His Contract Luna Says Goodbye 25.
ELLARIA.Arren had disappeared somewhere between the third and fourth round of formal greetings.I’d watched him head out with a group of Alphas, all of them moving with the energy of men who had just found a good reason like a necessary meeting to leave, and I didn’t blame him. I’d have done the
His Contract Luna Says Goodbye 23.
ARREN.She opened her eyes and found me there.I was still on the sofa with the dead rose between my fingers, and for a moment she just looked at me.Not with surprise exactly. More like she'd half-expected this and was deciding what to do with my presence.Then she sat up slowly, pushing her hair
His Contract Luna Says Goodbye 16.
ARREN.Katerina's wound wasn't deep.The clinic staff cleaned and wrapped it. The whole thing took twenty minutes, and I stood by the window the entire time with my hands in my pockets and my mind somewhere else entirely.When they were done I drove her home.She invited me in and I went because it
