PREGNANT WITH THE ALPHA'S UNWANTED HEIR Two months
"She laughed," Ivy says.She says it from the kitchen doorway, slightly breathless, with the expression of someone who has witnessed something they were not prepared for and is delighted by it.Lyra is two months old today.I am at the kitchen table with her on my lap and the morning light coming in at the low winter angle that has been here since her birth and which she has been studying with the focused attention of a person conducting an ongoing investigation into the nature of light."What made her laugh," I say."Soren made a face," Ivy says. I don't know which face. He was trying to get her to look at him and he made a face and she laughed. She pauses. She has very good taste.From the hall Soren says: It was an excellent face. I have been practicing.I look down at Lyra.She is looking at the doorway in the direction of Soren's voice. Her silver eyes track sound with the focused efficiency that Nadia says is the wolf bond operating at a level she has only read about in texts.S
PREGNANT WITH THE ALPHA'S UNWANTED HEIR The shelf
"She is looking at the photograph," Bastien says.He says it the following morning, standing in the doorway of the room on the eleventh floor, watching Lyra in my arms as I carry her toward the shelf for the first time.She is one day old.Nadia cleared the move this morning with the specific efficient satisfaction of someone whose prediction has been accurate. Lyra's readings overnight were excellent. Her wolf bond field has stabilized at the specific ambient level Nadia expected, directed and warm rather than the broad continental broadcast of my own emergence. She is, in Nadia's words, exactly what she was always going to be.She is also awake and has opinions about the direction of travel, which she communicates through the specific orientation of her head. She wants to see where we are going. She has wanted this since the first hour.I carry her to the shelf.She sees it the way she has been seeing everything since birth, with the complete attention of someone who has been waitin
PREGNANT WITH THE ALPHA'S UNWANTED HEIR The first morning
"She is watching you," Bastien says.He says it at eight in the morning, two hours after Lyra arrived, standing beside the bed where I am sitting with her against my chest. He says it the way he says things that cost him something, quietly and without armor, and his eyes are on her face.She is watching him.Her silver eyes, which Nadia confirmed are fully active wolf bond markers and not simply unusual coloring, track toward his voice every time he speaks. She has been doing this since the first hour. Not randomly. Specifically. She finds the voice and she stays on it.She is two hours old and she already knows who is in the room."She hears you," I say."I know," he says.He has been sitting in the chair beside the bed since Nadia finished the initial assessments and left us in the room with the specific instructions to rest and eat and not make any significant decisions for at least the next twelve hours. He has not moved from the chair except to take her once, briefly, when Nadia
PREGNANT WITH THE ALPHA'S UNWANTED HEIR She is coming
"Bastien," I say.He is awake before I finish the word. Not groggy, not slow. He is awake the way a person is awake when they have been sleeping lightly for weeks in anticipation of exactly this."How long," he says."I don't know," I say. It just started. I sit up. It is real. It is not the practice. I breathe through it, slow and steady, the way Nadia showed me. Call her.He is already calling.Nadia picks up on the second ring. There is no surprise in her voice and no delay. She has also been waiting for this."Timing," she says.Just started, I say. Three minutes ago.How far apart, she says."First one," I say. Two minutes.I am four minutes away, she says. Move to the birth room. I will be there.Bastien ends the call and looks at me.Can you walk, he says.Yes, I say.We move through the building at two in the morning and the building is quiet around us, the specific quiet of a place that is holding its breath. The birth floor is two levels up. We take the elevator because the
PREGNANT WITH THE ALPHA'S UNWANTED HEIR Thirty-Six weeks
"She could come any day now," Nadia says.She says it with the same clinical calm she says everything, but there is something underneath it today that is not clinical. Something that is more like readiness. The specific energy of a person who has been preparing for a thing and knows the thing is close.Thirty-six weeks today.Four weeks ahead of a standard due date. One week into the window Nadia identified the likely range. Lyra has been in position for four weeks now and she has been making her preferences about space very clear for most of that time and Nadia says the wolf bond markers have reached levels she has not previously measured in any documented birth."Define any day," Bastien says."It could be tonight," Nadia says. It could be two weeks from now. First births are unpredictable. Accelerated wolf bond development is even more so. She looks at me. The Volana field has been fluctuating since yesterday. Not dramatically. But I have been monitoring and it is not the stable am
PREGNANT WITH THE ALPHA'S UNWANTED HEIR Gregor's letter
"There is something in the post for you," Soren says.He sets it on the library desk in the morning without ceremony. An envelope. Not digital. Paper, formal paper, the kind that costs more than standard correspondence stock. My name on the front in handwriting I know.My father.I look at it for a moment.Bastien is beside me. He reads my face before reading the envelope."Do you want to open it alone," he says.No, I say.I opened it.One page. His handwriting, which I have been reading since I was old enough to understand documents. Slanted and deliberate. The penmanship of a man who was taught that the way you write your letters is as important as what they say.I read it.I read it the first time the way you read things you have been expecting and dreading simultaneously. Then I read it again because the first read is the defensive read and the second one is the actual one.I put it on the desk.Bastien waits.He is writing to acknowledge the tribunal finding, I say. Not to appea
PREGNANT WITH THE ALPHA'S UNWANTED HEIR What he got
"Ask him what he got."I say it out loud in the elevator on the way back up and the words taste exactly as bitter as I expected.Bastien is standing beside me, not touching me, watching the floor numbers rise. He has the card in his hand. He has been holding it since the stairwell and I have not as
PREGNANT WITH THE ALPHA'S UNWANTED HEIR The man in the corridor
"Stay behind me."I almost laugh. Not because it's funny but because this morning I was a contract mate with a packed suitcase and a car booked for ten and now Bastien Rourke is pulling me into a stairwell with his hand flat against the door and his entire body tuned to something I can't hear yet.
PREGNANT WITH THE ALPHA'S UNWANTED HEIR The wrong floor
It's a council representative," Bastien says.He is looking at his phone, at the security feed thumbnail, and his face has done that particular rearrangement where something unexpected has arrived and he is deciding in real time what it means."Pack council?" Soren is already at the door."Inter-pa
PREGNANT WITH THE ALPHA'S UNWANTED HEIR What the baby is
"She knew," I say. "She knew the whole time."Nobody argues with me. That is how I know it's true.We are back in Nadia's office, all four of us this time, and Nadia is standing behind her desk with her hands flat on the surface and her eyes on me and the expression on her face is the specific expr
