CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT: The Calm

MILLIE'S POV

"Mama, look! I made a dragon with my blocks!"

I turned from where I was making sandwiches to find Leo standing proudly beside an elaborate structure that looked somewhat like a wolf with wings—his interpretation of a dragon.

"That's amazing, baby!" I crossed to admire it properly. "Is it a friendly dragon?"

"The friendliest! His name is Sparkle and he protects castles." Leo beamed up at me. "Can Braham come see it when he gets back?"

"I'm sure he'd lo

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The wrong target

    ROY HUNTER'S POVI scrolled through the social media posts on my laptop, a satisfied smirk spreading across my face. Video after video from Leo's birthday party—the bounce house, the dragon cake, Millie laughing with other parents while children ran around.And beneath every video, the comments were vicious."Her sister is barely alive in a hospital and she's throwing parties?""That poor baby Martha had was born premature because of HER. And she's celebrating?""Werewolf or not, she has no heart.""This is why humans shouldn't be allowed in pack leadership. No sense of loyalty or family.""They're eating her alive," I said, turning the laptop so Vivian could see from where she sat across my desk.She leaned forward, reading. "Good. The more they hate her, the harder it'll be for her to integrate into pack structure.""Exactly." I closed the laptop. "The wedding during Martha's coma was a gift. Now the birthday party while Martha's recovering? Perfect optics."Vivian was quiet for a m

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    Four years old

    MILLIE'S POVLeo woke us up at exactly 6:47 AM on February 2nd, his birthday, by jumping on our bed and shouting at the top of his lungs."I'M FOUR! I'M FOUR YEARS OLD TODAY!"I groaned, pulling a pillow over my head. Braham laughed, catching Leo mid-bounce and pulling him into a hug."Happy birthday, buddy.""You promised dragons!" Leo wiggled free, his energy already at maximum despite the early hour. "And a bounce house! And a cake that looks like a dragon! You promised!""We did promise," I said, sitting up and pulling him into my lap. "And we're keeping that promise. Everything you asked for.""And you're married now! You got married like I asked!" He beamed. "This is the best birthday ever and it just started!"Braham and I exchanged glances over his head. We hadn't told him about the pack meeting, about the traditional ceremony we'd need to complete. To Leo, his birthday wish had come true—his parents were married, and that was all that mattered."Come on," I said, tickling him

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The hospital visit

    BRAHAM'S POVThe hospital parking lot was a war zone.News vans lined the street. Reporters with cameras clustered near the entrance. The moment our car pulled up, they swarmed like locusts."Ready?" I asked Millie.She stared at the crowd through the windshield, her jaw set. "No disguise this time. I'm done hiding.""Then let's go."The second we stepped out of the car, the assault began."Millie-Rose! Did you come to apologize?""How does it feel knowing your sister almost died?""Are you only here because of the backlash from your wedding?""Ms. Harvey, do you have any shame?"The cameras were blinding. Microphones thrust toward Millie's face. Bodies pressed in from all sides. I moved closer, using my size and presence to create a barrier."Back off," I said, my voice carrying the weight of Alpha authority.Some of them actually flinched. The crowd parted slightly—not from respect, but from instinctive fear. Wolves recognized power even when they didn't understand it.We pushed thr

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    Trial by pack

    MILLIE'S POVI'd never been inside the Council chamber before.The building itself was imposing—stone and timber construction that looked ancient, set deep in pack territory where humans rarely ventured. As Braham led me through heavy wooden doors and down a corridor lined with portraits of past Alpha Kings, I felt completely out of my depth."How many people will be there?" I asked quietly."Forty-three Council members. Maybe another fifty or sixty pack representatives in the gallery." He squeezed my hand. "Don't let the numbers intimidate you. Just speak honestly."The chamber was massive—circular, with tiered seating rising up around a central floor. Every seat was filled. Wolves I'd never seen before stared down at me as we entered. Some curious. Some hostile. Some carefully neutral.I was the only human-looking person in the room.Braham guided me to the center of the floor. Two chairs had been placed there, facing the Council. We sat, and I felt every eye boring into me.An old

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    Almost sour

    MILLIE'S POVThe first headline appeared Wednesday morning, less than twenty-four hours after our wedding."HEARTLESS HEIRESS: Millie-Rose Harvey Marries While Half-Sister Fights for Life in Hospital"I stared at my laptop screen, coffee growing cold in my hand. Below the headline was a photo—grainy but unmistakable—of me and Braham in our backyard, mid-kiss, Leo jumping between us. Someone had taken it from a distance, probably zoomed in from beyond our fence."How did they get this?" I asked, my voice hollow.Braham looked over my shoulder, his expression darkening. "We had security. No one should have been able to…""It's everywhere." I scrolled through page after page. Different outlets, same story, variations on the same theme of cruelty."While Martha Harvey Lies in Coma, Sister Celebrates""Werewolf Heiress Shows No Mercy: Wedding During Family Crisis""Millie-Rose Harvey's Shocking Display of Indifference"The articles were vicious. They painted me as a monster—a woman so cold

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    Before the world wakes

    MILLIE’S POV We got married on a Tuesday.Not because Tuesdays are particularly romantic, but because Leo's birthday was on Saturday and we'd promised him we'd be married before he turned four. That gave us exactly four days to plan his birthday.Most people would panic. We laughed."Do you even care about having a big ceremony?" Braham had asked the night before, both of us exhausted on the couch after putting Leo to bed."I care about being your wife," I'd said simply. "Everything else is just decoration."So we kept it simple. Intimate. Ours.The backyard had been transformed overnight by Callie and Renan, who'd taken Leo on an "adventure" that morning to give us time to get ready. White fabric draped between the trees, creating a canopy that caught the late January sunlight. Simple wooden chairs arranged in two small rows. White roses—my mother's favorite—in mason jars along a makeshift aisle.It was perfect."You're fidgeting," Callie said, adjusting the flowers in my hair for

    BRAHAM'S POV"Braham, there are monsters in my room."His small voice pulled me from sleep.

I asked softly, careful not to wake Mi

    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.
