ROY’s POV

The drive home from the Council building was silent as death.

I sat in the back seat of my father's car, Vivian beside me staring out the window with tears streaming down her face. Our father drove, his hands gripping the wheel so tightly his knuckles were white.

No one spoke. No one dared.

When we pulled into the estate, my father got out without a word and walked straight to his office. Vivian and I followed like condemned prisoners walking to execution.

He closed the door behind us

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The Golden Dawn (Epilogue)

    MILLIE’S POVFive Years LaterThe thirty-first of October arrived the way it always did now — loud, golden, and completely unstoppable.By mid-morning the courtyard was already alive. The kitchen staff had been working since before dawn, and the scent of roasting meat and warm spiced bread had drifted through the packhouse windows since first light, pulling everyone from their beds earlier than usual. Strings of fairy lights had been threaded through every arch and along every stone wall, and the long celebration tables that lined the main lawn were already groaning under the weight of platters, candles, and flower arrangements in deep autumn colors.It was Braham's birthday. It was also Juana's fifth.She had arrived as the most beautiful surprise of my life — a daughter I hadn't known I was carrying until I was nearly six months along, my body apparently deciding that the joy of my grandfather's hundredth birthday in Spain was a fine enough backdrop to make itself known. Braham ha

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The Ruin of Regret

    MILLIE’S POVMonths had passed since Spain.The warmth of those ancient valleys still lived somewhere beneath my sternum — a quiet, protective thing I carried with me through the ordinary rhythms of running a territory, managing my mother's expanding corporate empire, and raising Leo through the loud, opinionated complexity of being seven years old. Life had settled into a shape I recognized as peace, even on the hard days. Especially on the hard days.It was a Tuesday evening when Gabriel forwarded the file.No preamble. Just a brief, encrypted message: You'll want to hear this. Your call on how to respond.I sat at the mahogany desk in the private study, the curtains shifting gently in the evening wind, and pressed play.Raphael had been released.He had served the sentence handed down in the months following my departure for Spain — four years that the human legal system had apparently decided was sufficient accounting for decades of fraud, document forgery, financial manipulation,

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The soil of Spain

    BRAHAM’S POVThe smooth, synchronized hum of the private plane's engines cut out, leaving a ringing silence in the cabin as we came to a complete halt on the secure tarmac just outside of Barcelona. The heavy cabin doors unsealed and the warm Mediterranean air rushed in immediately — sun-baked earth, coastal pine, and the deep, crushing authority of centuries pressed into a single breath.I stepped down the stairs first, one hand extended behind me for Millie, while Leo practically launched himself down the steps beside us. Waiting at the edge of the airfield was our transport caravan, heavily armored and flanked by a select unit of Spanish warriors. And standing at the lead vehicle, his posture straight as an iron rod, was Grandpa Vicente.The formidable, stern expression he usually wore when dealing with international council politics dissolved completely the second his eyes landed on Leo."Great Grandpa!" Leo squeaked, his small boots crunching the gravel as he sprinted straight t

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    Two worlds, one love

    RENAN’S POVThe overwhelming fragrance of blooming spring cherry blossoms hung heavy over the courtyard, but the only scent that mattered to my wolf—the only scent that anchored me to the earth—was the sweet, intoxicating pull of the human woman standing before me.Today was the fourth of April. A historic, unprecedented day for our territory. It was the formal, public union of a pure human and a high-ranking Beta wolf.To honor both of our heritages, Millie and Braham had helped us design a unique, breathtaking double ceremony. The first half had taken place under a traditional human altar woven with white roses. I had stood there in a formal suit, my heart hammering against my ribs like a caged beast, as Callie walked toward me looking like an absolute goddess in a flowing lace gown. We had exchanged rings and legal vows, a strictly human tradition that had left Callie’s human friends and half our battle-hardened warriors openly wiping away tears.The second half of the ceremony ha

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    A house full of laughter

    CALLIE’S POV"Millie, if Renan tries to suggest military-gray tablecloths one more time, I am going to lose my absolute mind!"I practically yelled the words into the open space of the executive living room, throwing my hands up in total, unadulterated frustration. I was sitting cross-legged right in the center of the floor, completely marooned inside a chaotic, sprawling sea of hundreds of silk fabric swatches, glossy floral catalogs, and thick bridal magazines. Planning a wedding for the fourth of April was supposed to be a beautiful, romantic dream, but trying to extract a single aesthetic opinion from a man whose entire life had been dictated by tactical utility and defensive protocols was driving me to the absolute brink of insanity.Millie burst out laughing, the sound bright, musical, and completely unbothered by my dramatic meltdown. She walked into the room carrying a silver tray loaded with glasses of fresh, ice-cold fruit juices, navigating the minefield of paper and silk

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    Out of the dark

    SILAS’S POVThe heavy, suffocating scent of antiseptic, rubbing alcohol, and industrial floor cleaner always had a way of turning my stomach, but today it felt like it was actively choking me. I stood frozen in the middle of the pale green corridor, the harsh, buzzing glare of overhead fluorescent lights reflecting off the white linoleum tiles like a mockery of daylight. Down the hall, the constant beep of cardiac monitors drifted out of the secure nursery doors, a sound that had been the soundtrack to my nightmares for sixty plus days.I stared at the heavy glass partition of the neonatal intensive care unit, my hands trembling so violently that the metal zipper of my jacket clinked against itself in a frantic, irregular rhythm. I tried to swallow, but my throat was completely dry. My face felt entirely devoid of color, my eyes hollowed out by two solid months of sleeplessness, terror, and a desperate, suffocating anxiety that had kept me trapped in a living hell.I was just a man d

    MILLIE'S POVThe knife trembled in Sabrina's hand, but her eyes were wild with desperation."You're just like her," she spat. "Just like June. Always thinking you're better than everyone else. Always in the way."My heart hammered against my ribs. "Sabrina, put down the knife.""Why? So you can run

    MILLIE'S POVWill Reid's office was nothing like I expected.I'd imagined something sleek and modern, maybe intimidating.

    MILLIE'S POVThe Oslo mansion looked different in the morning light.I'd lived here for most of my childhood, but standing in front of it now felt like facing a stranger. It didn’t even feel like I’d been here since my return home. The ivy climbing the stone walls seemed overgrown, almost menacing
