로그인⋅ ⋅ ❦ Blaire Rose ❦ ⋅ ⋅ I walked a few paces behind them, my heart blooming with an indescribable, soothing warmth as Lucia practically dragged Elaine down the hallway toward the grand dining room for dinner. Watching my daughter giggle and bond so effortlessly with her mysterious great-grandmother brought a beautiful light into the house. We all gathered around the dining table, taking our seats. My gaze instinctively drifted toward the head of the table. Zayn’s silver plate, crystal glass, and napkin were pristine and perfectly laid out. A familiar, nervous flutter settled in my chest. I just hope he actually makes it tonight too… “He will come,” Elaine and Lucia chimed in unison. I blinked, looking between them before we all burst into laughter, the identical certainty in their voices was impossible to ignore. “Well, if both of my psychics say so, then I believe you,” I giggled, reaching up to softly wipe a stray tear of laughter from the corner of my eye. “Nana… h
⋅ ⋅ ♔ Alpha Zayn Kai ♔ ⋅ ⋅ I couldn't concentrate on a word during the council meeting. My mind reeled with the shocking revelations the midwife had brought — the truth about my mother, our forbidden and ancient northern bloodline, and the overwhelming extent of my own power. My chest felt tight, my pulse erratic, like something buried deep inside me had just been dragged to the surface. A relentless storm of questions battered my mind, making the endless political debates of the elders fade into meaningless background noise. My fingers twitched at my sides, a restless energy coiling beneath my skin, as if my alpha was just as unsettled by the truth clawing its way. The moment the meeting ended, I marched back to my private office, eager to pull the old woman aside for answers — only to stop dead in my tracks the second I opened the door. Sheila was sitting in my seat behind the desk. I didn’t say a word at first. I simply stepped inside and closed the door behind me — sl
⋅ ⋅ ❦ Blaire Rose ❦ ⋅ ⋅ I sat on the velvet armchair in our private lounge, my mind racing as I finalized the blueprints for the Luna Council. I had already drafted the formal invitations for the wives of the High Council, the wives of the elders. Now, all that was left was to dispatch them and see who actually possessed the courage — or the political audacity — to show up. I just hoped everything would go according to plan. I needed to build a fortress of female loyalty around this empire — not just for myself, but to safeguard my daughter's future. “Mama...!” Lucia’s sweet voice echoed down the short hallway as she pushed open the lounge door. “Hey, my sweet girl,” I smiled warmly, looking up — only to freeze when I saw who was walking right behind her. An elderly woman stepped into the room, her hand resting gently on Lucia's small shoulder. Despite her advanced age and the deep lines carved into her face, she possessed an undeniable beauty — a quiet elegance that seeme
⋅ ⋅ ♔ Alpha Zayn Kai ♔ ⋅ ⋅Ronan stepped back into the office, carefully placing the antique wooden box onto the desk. As my hand reached out to unlatch the brass clasp, Ronan immediately put his arm out.“Allow me to open it first, Alpha,” he cautioned, his eyes fixed on the midwife. “No,” I stated firmly, my voice leaving no room for argument. “I will open it myself. I don’t think she would dare try to harm me in my own domain.”I looked up at the old woman, whom I now knew as Elaine.“She won’t hurt you, Daddy,” Lucia spoke up smoothly, her small voice carrying an eerie, absolute certainty. “Nana is a good woman. She protect the family.”Without another second of hesitation, I popped the brass latch and lifted the wooden lid.The first thing that caught my eye was a small, faded photograph of a newborn baby girl.The moment my eyes landed on the photograph, my breath stopped.No.My fingers tightened around the edges as I lifted it closer, my pulse suddenly loud in my ears.The
⋅ ⋅ ♔ Alpha Zayn Kai ♔ ⋅ ⋅I walked into my office and locked eyes on the elderly woman sitting on the velvet sofa. The moment she saw me enter, she stood up, her frail body trembling slightly as she stared at my face with a look of haunting recognition.“You look just like Lucia. I can see her in you,” she whispered, her voice cracking with age.My jaw tightened, my alpha instantly bristling. “Lucia...? How do you know my mother’s name?” I asked, my voice dropping into a controlled, dangerous calm. I knew she couldn't possibly be talking about my daughter, whom she had never met.“How do you think I know your mother?” she countered, her wise, weathered eyes holding my fierce gaze without a hint of fear.That alone unsettled me. Most people lowered their eyes when I looked at them like that.“I don't know,” I muttered, walking over to my desk and sitting down. “Maybe because she was the late Luna of this very pack. Her name is etched into our history books.”A sad, knowing smile t
⋅ ⋅ ♔ Alpha Zayn Kai ♔ ⋅ ⋅ I gently cupped her soft cheek, leaning in to press a tender, lingering kiss against her lips. There was absolutely nothing in this world I wanted to do more than shed these clothes, pull her back beneath the duvet, and stay wrapped in her arms forever. But I knew Ronan. If he had marched all the way up to our private room and knocked directly on my bedroom door, the situation had to be critical. “Little Rose,” I murmured against her skin. She let out a soft, frustrated hum, her eyes still clouded with that fierce, protective fire. “There is nothing I want more than to stay right here with you and spend my entire day in this bed. But duty calls, love.” If I stayed any longer, I wouldn’t leave at all — and the kingdom would burn for it. She studied my face for a long moment, the irritation in her beautiful eyes slowly giving way to reluctant acceptance. “I will let you go this once,” she negotiated softly, a small pout forming on her lips. “But y
