I remembered the way Marcus stepped into my space and grabbed my arm.

The panic had paralyzed me, but Ren stepped in and forced the man to back down without even raising his voice.

He protected me, and he did it without asking any questions or making a scene.

I thought about the moment on the balcony when I almost told him the truth.

I wanted to confess everything, but the fear of losing him kept my mouth shut.

If I told him I was pregnant, he would look at me like I was a freak.

I squeezed my

  • PREGNANT AFTER ONE NIGHT STAND WITH THE LYCAN KING   142 - PUP

    The morning sun hurts my eyes when I finally wake up.I roll over on the narrow cot and pull the thin blanket up to my chin.My whole body feels heavy and sore from running all day yesterday.I stare at the cracked wooden ceiling of the small cabin, listening to the quiet sounds of the woods outside.I touch my flat stomach under the blanket, feeling a sudden wave of panic and fierce protectiveness wash over me.I am really doing this.I am hiding in the middle of a remote forest, carrying an Alpha's child.The wooden door to the small bedroom creeks open, saving me from my own dark thoughts.Zara walks in holding a simple clay cup filled with steaming tea."Drink this," she says, setting the cup on the small wooden table next to my bed."We start training in ten minutes."I sit up slowly, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes."Right now?" I ask, my voice rough and dry."Yes, right now," she answers, crossing her arms over her chest."The woods are quiet in the morning, and we have a lot

    The massive stone fireplace does nothing to warm the freezing air in my father's old study.I stand in the middle of the dark woven rug, facing the two people who trust me the most.My mother sits stiffly on the edge of the leather sofa, clutching a small teacup in her shaking hands.My older brother leans against the heavy wooden bookshelf, his arms crossed tight over his broad chest.The silence in the room is suffocating, thick with the terrible secrets I have been keeping for months.I look down at my hands and take a deep, shaky breath to steady my racing heart."I lied to both of you," I say, my voice cracking right down the middle.My mother flinches, the teacup rattling against the saucer as she looks up at me in pure confusion.My brother narrows his eyes, uncrossing his arms and standing up straight in the shadows."What are you talking about, Ren?" he asks, his tone dropping into a cautious, low rumble."Everything I told you about my business trip was a lie," I confess, fo

    I backed further into the corner of the soft couch.I stared at Zara like she was a complete stranger."You are not making any sense," I said, my voice shaking. "I am just a normal human."Zara did not move toward me.She just sat on the wooden coffee table and looked at me with very sad eyes."You are not human, Jett," Zara told me softly. "You never were."I shook my head over and over again, refusing to listen to her."I do not have a wolf," I argued, grabbing the edge of the brown cushion tight enough to hurt my fingers. "I do not have claws, and I do not heal fast. I am just a regular guy who answers phones for a living.""Because your abilities are completely dormant," Zara explained quietly.She gestured toward the broken ceramic pieces scattered across the wet floorboards."I had to stay away from you while you were growing up," Zara continued. "I had to watch you from a distance to keep you safe.""Safe from what?" I demanded, my chest heaving."From the hunters," she answere

    I sat on the soft brown couch and watched the fire burn in the stone hearth.My chest felt a little lighter now that the massive weight of my secrets was out in the open.Zara walked out of the small kitchen carrying a steaming ceramic mug.She crossed the living room and handed the warm cup to me."Drink this," Zara instructed gently. "It is just chamomile and honey, but it will help settle your stomach."I wrapped both of my cold hands around the hot mug and let the heat seep into my frozen fingers."Thank you," I whispered, keeping my eyes on the dark liquid.Zara sat down on the wooden coffee table right in front of my knees."You are perfectly safe in my home, Jett," she promised. "Nobody knows you are here, and nobody is going to find you."I took a small sip of the hot tea.The sweet honey coated my dry throat, easing the harsh ache from crying so hard."I just do not know what I am going to do now," I admitted quietly."We will figure that out tomorrow," Zara said. "You have p

    I stared at my brother and his human mate.The happy voices of my pack buzzed around me in the warm evening air.But all I heard was a loud ringing in my ears.I let Jett run away today.I shattered his heart because I was absolutely certain these traditional people would kill him.I pushed him away because I thought I had to protect him from my own family.But they were smiling.They were handing Tristan plates of food and welcoming him into the pack without a single hateful word.The heavy, suffocating guilt sitting inside my chest suddenly burned away.A hot, blinding rage took its place.I was furious at the ancient traditions that poisoned my mind for months.But mostly, I was furious with myself.I was the Alpha of the largest territory in the region.I was supposed to lead these people, but I acted like a terrified coward.I hid behind legal loopholes and closed office doors instead of just stepping up and claiming the man I loved.Never again.I turned away from Lucas and scan

    The drive back to the pack territory took almost two hours.I barely remembered sitting behind the steering wheel.The adrenaline from kicking Jett's door open had completely drained out of my body.Now, I just felt entirely numb.I felt like a dead man walking, breathing but completely hollow inside.I stared at the dark pavement stretching out in front of my headlights.My mate was gone.He packed his bags and ran away because he thought I did not want him.My chest ached with a heavy, crushing guilt that made it hard to pull air into my lungs.I gripped the leather steering wheel tight enough to make my knuckles crack.I spent the entire drive replaying the terrible argument I had with Enzo in my office.I remembered shouting about the pureblood treaty and the dangerous council members.I had to face my family and those angry Elders eventually.I turned off the main highway and drove down the long, private dirt road leading to our home.The heavy iron gates of our territory loomed
