MILLIE’S POV

The silence in our bedroom was suffocating. It was the kind of heavy, pressurized quiet that made my ears ring.

I sat on the edge of the mattress, the "last letter" from my mother clutched in my hands. Beside it, spread out like pieces of a broken mirror, were the older files we had recovered months ago—her first letter and the warnings from her friends Eleanor and Margaret. I stared at them until the words began to swim.

"Something happened to her mind, Braham," I whispered, my vo

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    Satiated

    CALLIE’S POVThe heavy oak door of Renan’s private residence had barely clicked shut behind us before the quiet of the house was completely shattered. We had spent weeks operating at the absolute limit of our endurance—running border patrols, containing the fallout of the vault strike, and shielding Millie through the wreckage of Martha’s death. The tension inside us had coiled into something volatile, a hot, desperate hunger that couldn't survive another second of domestic restraint.Renan didn't say a word. He whirled around in the dim hallway, his large, calloused hands slamming against the wood on either side of my head as he pinned me against the door. His eyes were completely dark, the bright gold of his beta wolf bleeding heavily through his pupils, tracking the frantic pulse jumping at the base of my throat."No more pack business tonight," he growled, his voice a low, gravelly rasp that vibrated straight through my bones. "No more security briefs. No more schedules.""No mor

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The unbroken tread

    MILLIE’S POV The heavy timbered doors of the massive packhouse closed behind us, shutting out the relentless glare of the human world and the predatory murmurs of the pack territory. The air inside the grand living room was warm, filled with the deep amber glow of the stone hearth, but a profound, reverent silence hung over the space. Gabriel had already taken Leo over to Renan’s parents’ place for the evening. We needed him shielded from the thick, suffocating cloud of grief that had settled over us at the hospital. I sat in the center of the large leather sofa, my body tucked securely against Braham’s solid chest. His strong arms wrapped tightly around my waist, his chin resting on my shoulder as his thumb traced soothing circles against my palm, his alpha presence a steady anchor through our bond. On the opposite side of the room, my grandfather, Vicente, stood near the mantle, his dark eyes solemn and watchful, surrounded by Elena and his remaining Silverpine Ridge companions.

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The beast in a cell

    SABRINA’S POV The concrete floor of the county correctional facility was freezing, but the cold inside my chest was far worse. For months, my life had been reduced to this gray, suffocating box, stripped of the wealth, the status, and the absolute power I had spent my entire life building. I had gone from commanding luxury boardrooms and high-society galas to being locked away with the dregs of society, all because I let my blind, unyielding hatred dictate my moves. "The great, high-society matriarch. Stripped down to an orange jumpsuit like the rest of us trash. Where are your designers now, Sabrina? Where is your fancy security team?" One of those women who had been tormenting me asked, the sarcasm in her voice too obvious to ignore. A chorus of cruel, mocking laughter rippled through the room, bouncing off the steel bars and iron rafters. I didn't look up from the metal table. I kept my jaw clenched, my fingers digging into the plastic edges of the tray before me until my finge

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The cost of the cage

    CALLIE’S POV The drive to the specialized medical facility was a blur of screeching tires and suffocating silence. The moment Millie confronted us with Braham’s phone in her hand, the walls of the fortress crumbled. There was no more hiding the truth, no more shielding her from the fallout. When the heavy glass doors of the intensive care wing slid open, the clinical scent of antiseptic and ozone hit us like a physical blow. But it wasn't the machines that dominated the hallway; it was the sound. Silas was crumpled on the linoleum floor outside Martha’s private room, his knees brought up to his chest as he wailed uncontrollably. It was a raw, animalistic sound of absolute devastation—the sound of a man completely broken by the weight of his own conscience. His hands were buried in his hair, tugging at the roots as thick tears tracked through the dirt and exhaustion on his face. The moment he saw Millie round the corner, flanked by Braham, Renan, and me, his chest heaved with a fres

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The final transmission

    MILLIE’S POVThe morning after the coronation brought a strange, heavy stillness to the packhouse. The air inside the sprawling stone fortress was crisp, filled with the scent of burning pine from the hearth and the distant, soothing sounds of the territory waking up. By all accounts, I should have been completely at peace. The bond with Braham was an absolute, humming presence in the back of my mind, and the crown was officially mine.But as I stepped down into the sunlit morning room, a cold, sharp knot tied itself tightly in my stomach.Callie and Renan were standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, their heads huddled close together. They were speaking in frantic, hushed whispers, their body language taut and guarded. The moment my foot hit the hardwood floor, their conversation cut off with an unnatural, jarring abruptness."What are you two discussing?" I asked, my voice steady but direct as I walked toward them."Nothing, Mills," Callie said quickly, offering a forced, overly

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The crown and the legacy

    MILLIE’S POVThe heavy iron doors of the packhouse vaults closed with a distant, echoing thud, swallowing the final, desperate curses of Roy and the cold, furious silence of Pius. The sentinels had moved with absolute, military precision, bundling the entire treasonous family up together like common criminals and casting them down into the deep, silver-lined dungeons while the remnants of the event finally wrapped up.Braham stood beside me, his large hand still locked in mine, the tight tension that had lived in his broad shoulders for months completely vanishing. He let out a low, dark chuckle, leaning down to brush his lips against my temple."I told you," he murmured, his voice a rich, satisfied rumble that vibrated straight through our bond. "Nobody is allowed to be evil or cause chaos on my big day. Anyone who tries gets a personal escort to the cells."A genuine, breathless laugh escaped my lips, the lingering adrenaline from the courtroom drama melting into the warm, crisp mo

    BRAHAM’S POVThe Council chamber was a cathedral of judgment, and today, I was the one presiding over the trial of our future.
