I stared at the image for a long time.

Sera.

Grey-haired and careful and possessed of that particular warmth that made you feel like you were being looked after by someone who had earned the right to look after people. She had called me from an unknown number and told me my children were in danger. She had given me the route back to Blackthorn territory. She had told me her nephew was the tracker who had come to her with a conscience and she had used that story to put me exactly where she neede

  • PREGNANT AFTER THE ALPHA’s REJECTION   THE FACE THAT WAS NOT HERS

    A shifter.Not a wolf shifter. Something older and considerably more specific. A skin walker, the kind that existed in the oldest pack legends alongside the Lunara, alongside the Apex bloodline, alongside all the things the current pack hierarchy had spent generations categorising as mythology because mythology was easier to manage than truth.Someone who could wear another person’s face.Who had worn Marta’s face into the lodge this morning and sat at our table and listened to every word we said with cold grey eyes behind borrowed warmth and then walked back out and reported to someone who was not Caius and was not Sera and was not anyone we had named yet.I looked at the person standing between Priya’s warriors.They were not bothering with Marta’s face anymore. It had dropped the moment Priya brought them into the meadow, like a coat shrugged off, and what remained was a woman of indeterminate age with grey eyes and no expression and the particular stillness of someone who has been

  • PREGNANT AFTER THE ALPHA’s REJECTION   THE SIGNAL AND THE STORM

    I was out of that room before anyone finished processing what had just happened.Down the corridor. Down the stairs. Through the packhouse main hall where warriors looked up as I passed and I did not stop for any of them. Through the side door and out into the morning and across the pack ground toward the sound that had started in the last thirty seconds.Howling.Not threat howling. Not the territorial boundary howl or the distress call or the coordinated silence of a patrol going down. Something else. Something older. A sound I had never heard before and somehow recognised in the same breath, the way you recognise music in a language you have never learned but your body remembers anyway.It was coming from the northern meadow.I ran.Damien was beside me. Not behind me, beside me, matching my pace without being asked, and that was not something I had the capacity to think about right now so I filed it away and kept running.The northern meadow was the oldest part of Blackthorn terri

  • PREGNANT AFTER THE ALPHA’s REJECTION   BEHIND THE CLOSED DOOR

    Damien moved first.I was half a step behind him and I did not ask permission for that. We went through the packhouse corridors fast, Rhys materialising from somewhere to fall into step beside us, and behind us, I could hear Caius following without being invited which under any other circumstances would have been a problem and right now was simply a fact.The former Alpha’s rooms were on the second floor of the packhouse east wing. The oldest part of the building, stone walls thick enough that sound did not travel through them the way it travelled through the newer sections. Private. Contained. The rooms of a man who had spent forty years being the most powerful person in a building and had not entirely relinquished that even after the title passed to his son.Damien knocked.Three times. Solid and deliberate.Nothing.“Father.” His voice was controlled. Flat in the way of someone controlling it very hard. “Open the door.”Nothing.I pressed my hand to the door. Old wood, iron hinges,

  • PREGNANT AFTER THE ALPHA’s REJECTION   THE ONES WE TRUST MOST

    Marta.Or Damien’s father.I stood at the southern tree line and turned those two names over in my mind and tried to make either of them fit the shape of what had just happened and found that both of them fit in ways I did not want to look at directly.Marta who had been in Blackthorn packhouse since before I was born. Marta who knew every corridor and every archive room and every back entrance that warriors did not bother guarding because nobody expected the threat to come from the kitchen. Marta who had arrived at the lodge this morning without being called, with food on a tray and steady eyes and a tone that brooked no argument.Eat something.Like she needed me to be functional.Like she needed me in a specific condition for a specific reason.Or Damien’s father. Former Alpha. The man who had installed his son and stepped back and stayed inside the packhouse in the particular way of powerful men who step back but never actually leave. The man who had chosen Damien’s Luna before Da

  • PREGNANT AFTER THE ALPHA’s REJECTION   THE MOTHER I NEVER HAD

    My legs stopped working.Not dramatically. Not a collapse. Just a quiet mechanical failure where my brain sent the instruction to keep moving and my legs decided that particular instruction was unreasonable given the circumstances and simply declined to carry it out.I stood at the edge of that tree line and I looked at the woman walking toward me and I counted the things I knew about her.One photograph. Folded and soft at the creases from years of handling.A name. Anika.A letter written in handwriting that slanted in the same direction as mine.A smile that lived on my daughter’s face.That was everything. Twenty three years of everything, the entire inheritance of a mother I had been told was dead, reduced to those four items, and now the source of all of them was crossing a clearing toward me on careful feet and the morning light was on her white hair and her eyes were fixed on my face with an expression that I did not have a name for because I had never had anyone look at me th

  • PREGNANT AFTER THE ALPHA’s REJECTION   HIS VOICE ON THE LINE

    I did not speak immediately.That was the first thing. The most important thing. Because Caius had just told me he had my children and every single part of me wanted to respond to that with noise, with demand, with the raw animal panic of a mother who has just heard the worst sentence the world can produce.I did not.I breathed.One breath. Just one. Long and controlled and pulled from somewhere underneath the panic where something colder and more useful lived.Then I spoke.“If you have touched them,” I said, “there is no version of what comes next that ends well for you.”A pause. Then a sound that might have been appreciation. “There she is,” Caius said. “I wondered how long the controlled version would last.” His voice was unhurried. Comfortable. The voice of a man conducting a conversation from a position of complete confidence. “I have not touched them, Elena. I have no interest in harming them. I want to be very clear about that.”“Then put Rhys on the phone.”“Rhys is indispo
