One Night With The Mysterious Alpha King

SeleneOne Month LaterOne month had gone by, yet I still haven't found him. A lot has happened over the course of the month—one of them being my period. I hadn't gotten it, which was unusual because I used to mark it on my calendar, and the day had passed with no sign. I didn't want to panic just yet, so I got a pregnancy kit just to be on the safer side instead of jumping to conclusions too fast.My heart pounded as I waited for the result of the test, silently praying it wouldn't be what my instincts were telling me, because I don't think I can handle it. Nevertheless, when the test result showed positive, I nearly slipped on the bathroom floor, thankfully catching myself by gripping the sink.My heartbeat rang in my ears. I'm pregnant. A baby is growing inside me... and I have no clue who the stranger was or even what his name is. I shook my head continuously. I can't allow my parents to find out at least not like this. I have to figure out how to tell them. And when they do know.

SeleneI was five months pregnant. And all I can say is life hasn't been kind to me. A lot has happened over the course of those five months. The night my parents took me to the hospital to abort the child, it didn't go through. Zayn saved me before the doctor could come into the room I was taken to. I didn't know how Zayn did it. He helped me escape from the hospital and gave me some cash—all without our parents noticing.I left the city without looking back. And that was how I found myself in the rogue territory. I also lost contact with Zayn since then. The money he gave me helped in getting food to keep myself alive.Just like every other day, I walked into the convenience store to get canned food and water. I had come here several times, but the cashier had never asked me any questions. The curiosity was there, and she always looked at me and my baby bump with pity, but had never asked the reason.Setting the canned food and bottled water on the counter, I gave the store a brief

Tristan I spend every spare minute searching for her. I remember her eyes. The way they locked onto mine and made everything else vanish. I remember her scent—warm, soft, like earth after rain. I've chased fragments of it through crowded alleys and market stalls, desperate for a sign. A whisper. Anything.I pray to the Goddess every night to lead me to her. So far, all I get is silence.Today, I'm roaming the streets with Henry. He's still skeptical, probably thinks I imagined half of it. But he humors me. Cracks jokes. Pretends we're just two Alphas-in-training avoiding responsibilities, not two brothers hunting a ghost.All of a sudden I felt something. Faint. So faint I almost miss it.But my wolf snarls awake in my chest. It's her.I freeze mid-step, heart pounding as I try to track it. It's coming from the other side of the street. I cross quickly, inhaling deeply—but just like that, it's gone. Snuffed out. Lost among the exhaust fumes and city chaos. Damn it.My phone buzzes in

TristanI slammed the car door so hard the frame shuddered. My jaw clenched so tight it hurt. Untreated stitches? They let her leave in that condition?What kind of goddamn hospital! I gripped the steering wheel, trying to rein in the beast clawing inside me. As Alpha, I could walk back in there and tear that place apart with one command. But rage wouldn't bring Selene back. Fury wouldn't undo what had already happened.She was gone.My heart pounded against my ribs. She'd just given birth. She was bleeding. And alone. Why would she leave? What could've been so important that she'd risk her life—and our child's—just to vanish?The receptionist's face flashed in my mind. The panic in her eyes when I threatened her. Good. She should be afraid. I meant every word.If anything happens to her, they're all going down.My phone vibrated, but I didn't look at it. Probably Kayla, again, pretending like she gave a damn. She didn't. None of this mattered to her. Just the ring. The title.A sha

Tristan I stood by the window, staring at the forest line in the distance, fists clenched at my sides."We found a partial trail," one of the trackers had reported earlier. That was enough for me. I was going after her. I grabbed my jacket from the back of the chair when Henry stepped into the room."Tristan, slow down," he said firmly. "You're not thinking straight."I turned to him, eyes narrowing."I've waited long enough. I should've gone the minute we lost her scent.""You've barely slept. You've got council meetings piling up. And Kayla's—""Don't say her name," I warned.Henry sighed and walked closer. "You think Selene would want you running yourself into the ground like this?"I met his gaze, unflinching. "If it were your mate out there, bleeding and scared, would you stay?"He didn't answer. I shoved past him, heading for the door.As I stepped outside, the old oak cane tapping on stone made me pause.Corvin. My father's trusted ally. A man who always had something to say.
