LOGIN"I didn't marry you because I wanted a wife, Elara, and I certainly didn't marry you because I loved you. I married you because the elders told me that children born of fated mates are the strongest, and I needed that power for my lineage. It was a genetic transaction, nothing more, and you were just the most convenient vessel available at the time," he said, and his words felt like physical blows. I felt the tears stinging my eyes, and I pulled the pregnancy test out of my pocket, but my fingers were shaking so much I almost dropped it. "I’m pregnant, Silas. I came here to tell you that we’re having a baby." "So you finally did your job," Silas said, his voice completely devoid of any warmth or joy. "That’s fine, you’ll carry the heir, and the pack doctors will look after you, but don't think for a second that this changes your status. You are an orphaned rogue with no standing, and you are utterly unworthy of being a Luna, so don't get any ideas about sitting on a throne next to me." ******* Three years of marriage to Alpha Silas Blackwood were a living nightmare for Elara. As an orphaned rogue, she was treated as a servant in her own home, a ‘vessel’, married only for the superior power of a fated-mate heir. The night she finally discovered she was pregnant, Silas shattered her heart for the last time, publicly humiliating her in front of his ex-girlfriend and his pack. But a near-fatal car crash changes everything.
View MorePOV: SilasI stood at the head of the long dining table and watched the seats fill up with my high-ranking warriors and their mates, but my mind wasn't on the border reports or the upcoming hunt because I couldn't stop thinking about the way Elara had looked at me in her bedroom.I expected her to come downstairs and take her usual spot at the very end of the table, sitting in that small, uncomfortable chair where she used to keep her head down and barely eat a thing, but when the doors opened, she didn't even look toward the foot of the table.She walked in with a steady pace and pulled out a neutral chair right in the middle of the row, sitting down between two of my lead scouts who looked at her like she had just grown a second head."Elara, that isn't where you sit," I said, my voice carrying across the room and causing the clinking of silverware to stop instantly, but she just looked up at me with those calm, hollow eyes."Is there a name card on the table that I missed, Silas
POV: ElaraI was sitting by the window in my newly emptied room when a sharp knock sounded at the door, and before I could even tell the person to come in, the handle turned and a woman with perfectly styled hair and a smug grin stepped inside.I recognized her from the party, or at least from the brief memory of that night that Silas had described, and she was wearing a dress that looked far too expensive for a casual visit. She walked around the room, trailing her fingers over the bare dresser, and she let out a little hum of disapproval as she looked at the empty spaces where the photos of Silas used to be."I heard you were awake and back at the house, so I thought I should come by and see how the poor little rogue was holding up after such a nasty accident," she said, and she sat down on the edge of my bed without being invited."I'm doing fine, though I don't think we’ve actually met properly, or if we have, I’ve forgotten your name along with everything else," I replied, and
POV: ElaraThe car ride to the pack house was silent and uncomfortable, and I spent the entire time looking out the window at the passing trees because I didn't want to look at Silas, who was driving with a frustrated grip on the steering wheel.When we finally pulled up to a massive stone building that looked more like a fortress than a home, he didn't even offer to help me out of the car, and he just started walking toward the front doors while expecting me to follow behind him like I had done a thousand times before. I walked at my own pace, ignoring the way he kept glancing back with an annoyed expression, and when I stepped into the foyer, several people stopped what they were doing to stare at me."Your room is upstairs, the third door on the right, and don't expect me to come up there and check on you because I have a meeting with the council in ten minutes," Silas said, and he didn't even look at me as he pointed toward the grand staircase."I can find my own way, Silas, an
POV: ElaraThe first thing I felt was a dull throbbing behind my eyes, and when I tried to move my hand, it felt like it was weighted down by lead pipes, so I just laid there for a moment listening to the steady beep of a machine nearby. I slowly forced my eyelids open, and the bright fluorescent lights of the hospital room made me wince and shut them again, but eventually, I managed to focus on the ceiling.I turned my head to the side and saw a man sitting in a chair by the window, and he was staring at his phone with a deep scowl on his face, looking like he would rather be anywhere else in the world than in this room."You're finally awake," he said, and his voice was deep and rough, but there wasn't a single drop of relief in it as he stood up and walked toward the bed.I blinked at him, trying to place the face or the voice, but nothing came to me, and my mind felt like a chalkboard that had been wiped completely clean."Who are you?" I asked, and my voice came out as a dry,
