Lunessa's POV

My uncle rushed toward me, his axe forgotten.

“What’s going on?” he asked urgently, until his gaze dropped to the puddle beneath me. Understanding dawned instantly.

“Liora!” he shouted, voice sharp and commanding.

He moved to steady me, one arm around my back, but my legs had already given out. They were trembling so badly I could barely stand. Without a second thought, he swept me into his arms.

Thank the Goddess the room he had prepared for my labor was just downstairs. He carried me inside and gently laid me on the bed, the soft sheets felt like sandpaper against my skin as pain rippled through me, sharp and deep.

Liora rushed in, eyes wide and frantic, while my uncle disappeared to fetch the midwives.

“Are you okay?” she asked, already grabbing a damp cloth for my forehead.

How could I answer that? I was in agony. Wave after wave of searing pain crashed through me, each one worse than the last.

I gritted my teeth and clutched the edge of the mattress, trying not to

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 136: Hidden In Plain Sight

    Lunessa’s POV“What did you find?” I asked quickly, my pulse rising.Azrik stirred beside me, immediately alert. “What is it?” he asked, noticing the tension in my voice.I climbed back onto the bed, placing the call on loudspeaker between us.“Please repeat yourself,” I said to Lucien, trying to steady my breath.“We’re renovating the building, turning it into an orphanage,” Lucien began. “While clearing out Thorne’s old room, we found a box hidden inside the wardrobe. Inside it was a photograph of him holding a baby. Behind the picture, he wrote: ‘my son.’”My chest tightened. Azrik’s brows drew together in shock.“What else?” I asked, voice barely above a whisper.“There were more old photographs, nothing special, old family pictures, but…” Lucien continued. “One of them shows Thorne, Liora, and the same child.”My spine straightened instantly. “Liora? The same Liora that works in this house?”“Yes,” Lucien confirmed. “Maybe she was the nanny or… maybe something else. I’m not sure.

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 135: Of Blood And Omen

    Azrik’s POVAfter the banquet, we retreated to our private chambers to rest before the grand celebration at the arena. Once the fashion designer left, I changed out of the ceremonial dress and slipped into something more comfortable. I sank into the plush seat in the sitting room, reaching for the remote, when the world suddenly shifted.A vision struck me like lightning. Blood everywhere. It pooled around me, dark and thick, coating my hands and legs like a second skin. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t scream fast enough, but I did.A scream tore from my throat, and just like that, it vanished.“What… what was that?” I whispered hoarsely, my heart galloping in my chest.‘I don’t understand it myself…’ Due’s voice wavered through the mindlink, frail and frightened. ‘It came from nowhere and vanished just as fast.’A soft knock disrupted the stillness. Mira stepped inside, bowed gracefully, and placed a tray of freshly squeezed juice on the table. Her eyes searched mine.“Luna… is someth

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 134: For Draven, With Love

    Lunessa’s POVWhen Draven got the news, he was absolutely head over heels. Of course he would be, another baby for him and Azrik to spoil senseless.I kept going to work as usual. And as for the Pale Fang, we continued to receive reports from allied packs. Many of them had begun uncovering the faction’s scattered hideouts. It was like watching a storm finally clear, revealing all that had once hidden in the fog.As the full moon approached, Azrik became consumed with preparations. His excitement was contagious.That evening, the banquet hall glowed with warmth. Pack members gathered, laughter echoed off the walls.Shaelith and Seraphira stole everyone’s attention. They had this effortless charm, the kind that made people lean in, smile more, and forget their worries, especially Seraphira.Then came the moment Azrik had been eagerly waiting for.He stepped up, tapped the mic gently, and said, “Can I have your attention, please?”The room settled into a hush.“Tonight,” he began, “I wan

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 133: A New Heartbeat

    Lunessa’s POV“Mom!” Shaelith called out sharply, clearly annoyed.“Sorry, baby,” I whispered and she turned back to the movie.But my heart was still thudding.‘What do you mean?’ I asked Due through the mindlink.‘Does it have two meanings?’ she replied with her signature sass.‘You think I’m pregnant?’ I asked.She sighed, dramatic and unbothered, and retreated to the back of my mind like she had better things to do.I barely had time to process when Azrik returned, holding out a plate stacked with crackers.My face lit up. “Thank you,” I said, taking the plate like it was a treasure. I began eating immediately.Maybe Due had a point. I’d been extra sensitive, crying during cartoons, craving odd things, and now this overwhelming wave of hunger.After the movie ended, we all returned to the main house, had a quiet dinner, and went to bed early. The girls were fast asleep the moment their heads touched the pillows. Draven stayed behind a little to chat with Azrik, then took his leave

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 132: Children's Business

    Lunessa’s POVWithin a week, so much had changed.The Pale Fang within Velgrath had been flushed out, hunted down one by one. Draven was working closely with the remaining council members, gathering leads, chasing whispers, unearthing secrets.Azrik didn’t hesitate. He sent out a message to every pack within and beyond our regions, uproot the Pale Fang or be counted among them. There was no middle ground. Any Alpha who stayed quiet was making a declaration, they were enemies of the crown.The efficiency of it all, the ruthless precision was terrifying, and necessary. I was relieved, proud, even a little comforted. Azrik gave no room for second chances. Those caught were executed swiftly, no trials, no loopholes or mercy.For the first time in weeks, there was a thin sliver of balance returning to our lives. A little calm after the chaos.Azrik and I agreed, we would take the weekend off. Just us, the girls, and Draven, no meetings, no politics, no hospital There was a cinema hall in

  • Marked By Midnight    Chapter 131: The Devil's Warning

    Azrik’s POVWhen I got home that night, Lunessa was waiting for me with a smile so radiant, it almost made me forget the blood on my hands.I told her how the raid went, every corner we stormed, every rat we flushed out. She listened quietly, her eyes never leaving mine."I'm glad you and Draven have settled your scores," she said softly.I exhaled, allowing myself to lean against the wall for a moment. “I know,” I murmured. “I'm happy too... Strange, isn’t it?”She laughed, “it's not strange.”The next morning, I summoned the council.By the time they started filing in, Draven and I were already seated at the head of the grand hall. One by one, they entered and bowed, clearly unsettled to find me already waiting.When the last chair scraped the polished marble floor, I nodded. “Let’s begin.”Draven stood, arms crossed behind him, voice firm. “Yesterday, we apprehended a council member who was directly involved with the Pale Fang, and the illegal raids.”He explained all that happened
