PREGNANT AND BANISHED Chapter 60
Lana's POVThe words hung in the air long after the call died, and I understood, with a clarity that turned my blood to ice, that Asher had just said the one thing he could never take back. “My wife.” Not Lana. Not after he rejected me. Not after he chose Amelia over me. Jasper was the only person with me, even during my pregnancy with three sons, and he is the one they know as the father. Calling me his wife has spoiled everything.Then the line had gone dead, and the dead air that followed felt louder than anything that had come before it.My hands were shaking. I felt it before I saw it: a fine, uncontrollable fear that started somewhere behind my ribs and worked its way down through my arms until my fingers wouldn't stay still against my thigh. I pressed them flat to the table, willing them to obey, but the shaking only climbed higher, into my shoulders, my jaw, until I was certain he could see it from across the table, certain he could hear the frantic stutter of my own pulse.As
PREGNANT AND BANISHED Chapter 59
Lana's POV.I knew that tone. I had heard Asher use it only twice before in all the months I'd lived inside this pack; once when a hunter's trap had caught one of the pack's youngest scouts, and once when he'd discovered a betrayal buried three ranks deep in his own guard. It was a voice that didn't shout, didn't rage, didn't need to. It was quiet the way a mountain goes quiet right before it splits open and swallows a village whole. Fire on the mountain, my grandmother used to call it the calm that comes just before everything burns.I understood, in that instant, that I could not afford to flinch.So I decided to steel myself, to bury the fear climbing up through my chest before it ever reached my face. I lifted my chin. I let my eyes go wide with something close to offense, as though he had accused me of something absurd, something that was not worth consideration."Lana," he said again, and this time he did not look away from me at all, even as he lifted the phone from the table a
PREGNANT AND BANISHED Chapter 58
Lana's POV.I was still contemplating on all these the sound of Jasper's voice cold in my ear, the phone still warm against my back where I'd shoved it beneath the waistband of my dress, the terrifying arithmetic of how long it would take Asher to realize the truth when he came back angrily, his footsteps sharp and heavy against the stone floor, nothing like the measured calm he'd walked out with only minutes before."I don't understand this," he muttered, patting down the pockets of his coat with quick, frustrated movements. "I could find my small phone in my pocket, but the big phone is missing."I said nothing, keeping my hands folded carefully in my lap, praying my face gave away nothing of the storm raging beneath my ribs."I was sure I left it in this lab," he said, more to himself than to me, his eyes sweeping the room again with the restless energy of a man who trusted his own memory and hated being contradicted by it. "I remember setting it down right here, right on this tabl
PREGNANT AND BANISHED Chapter 57
Lana's POV.I tried wiping my tears and pretended nothing happened, dragging the back of my hand across my cheeks in one quick, clumsy motion, forcing my spine straight even as my chest still heaved with the aftershocks of everything I'd just let loose. I opened my mouth, already reaching for some excuse, some steady voice to greet him with, but Asher caught me before I could even finish turning around.He crouched low in front of me, and before I understood what was happening, his hands were cradling my face, tilting it gently toward his own.The touch sent shivers down my spine, sharp and immediate, the kind that bypassed thought entirely and settled straight into memory. I remembered that touch. I had felt it before, months ago, in a different kind of darkness, when he'd held my face just like this and told me I didn't have to carry everything alone. My body remembered before my mind could catch up, and I hated it, hated how easily it betrayed me even now, even with my heart still
PREGNANT AND BANISHED Chapter 56
.Lana's POVThe phone felt oddly heavy in my hand, cold and foreign. I had touched Asher's phone but not this particular one. It looked more expensive and bigger. It felt like I was crossing a line, like I was reaching into a part of him that he kept hidden away.But I couldn’t shake the nagging thought that was clawing at my mind. If someone was keeping such a close eye on this lab that they knew exactly when Greta would be alone with a pot of boiling water, and could time it perfectly to catch me at my weakest when my children were hungry, then maybe just maybe there was something on this phone that could reveal who was behind it all.I had to be careful, making sure no one was watching me. The corridor outside the lab was empty and silent, the torches flickering low along the stone walls, casting long shadows that made every corner seem to hide a secret. I listened intently for footsteps, for a low murmur, for anything that would indicate I wasn’t alone in this. But there was noth
PREGNANT AND BANISHED Chapter 55
.Lana's POV.I ran so fast down the corridor, my bare feet pounding against the cold stone floor, my heart racing in my throat. When I finally burst into the kitchen, I found Greta hunched over by the counter, both hands pressed to her arm, her body shaking with silent, breathless sobs.A pot lay tipped over beside her, water spreading across the tiles, steam still rising gently from the mess."Greta." I rushed over in just a few strides and grabbed her shoulders, making her meet my gaze. "Greta, please, talk to me. What happened?"She opened her mouth, but all that came out was a choked, soundless gasp, her face contorted in pain too deep for words. Her other hand trembled as she pointed weakly toward the counter where her phone lay face-up, the screen still lit. I snatched it up.Another message. Another blocked number, just a string of digits with no name, no context, just the chilling anonymity of someone who wanted to remain hidden.“Leave now, or you'll have me to deal with. Th
PREGNANT AND BANISHED Chapter 6
Lana's Pov I woke up slowly. For a few seconds, I actually thought I was back in my own bed. I expected to hear the birds outside my window and smell the coffee Jasper always made in the morning. I reached out my hand, expecting to feel the soft sheets of my home. Then, I felt the rough texture
PREGNANT AND BANISHED Chapter 5
My heart was beating so hard it felt like it would break my ribs. I stood my ground, even though every part of me wanted to run. Asher was standing so close that I could see the tiny flecks of silver in his blue eyes. He looked older and more tired, but he still had that same power that made everyo
PREGNANT AND BANISHED Chapter 4
Lana's POV The first thing I felt was a heavy ache behind my eyes. It wasn't a sharp pain, but it felt like my head was paining me. I tried to move my hand to touch my face, but my arm felt weak and slow. I opened my eyes. The light in the room was soft, but it still made me blink. I wasn't in my
PREGNANT AND BANISHED Chapter 3
Lana’s POV 8 years later It was one of those rare, peaceful mornings where everything seemed to be in perfect harmony in my life. Jasper and I were lying in bed, tangled up in each other’s arms, enjoying the quiet before the day really began. His warm breath tickled the back of my neck as he kis
