ANMELDENCiara’s POVI didn’t stay on that bed for much long despite being spent, because if I did, I knew exactly where my mind would drag me back to, and I wasn’t ready to sit there and relive it like some weak girl clinging to a moment she should’ve fought harder against, so I pushed myself up, grabbed the nearest clothes, and started dressing slowly like if I moved with enough control, my thoughts would follow.They didn’t.They kept circling, stubborn and loud, pulling me right back to the same question I didn’t want to answer, and the more I tried to brush it off, the more it settled in my chest like something unfinished.Pregnancy explained part of this shit, I knew that, my body wasn’t mine the way it used to be, everything was heightened, reactions sharper, impulses louder, and that wild pup inside me felt like it was amplifying every single thing I tried to suppress… but even with all that and every excuse lined up neatly for me to hide behind, there was still something I couldn’t sh
Ciara’s POVMy lips parted, but no words came out. My brain short-circuited. All I could feel was the overwhelming heat radiating from him, the raw, animalistic hunger rolling off his body in waves. A crazy, electric energy surged through my veins, pregnancy hormones mixing with something far more dangerous, it was like pure, unfiltered lust.I wanted to drag him down and kiss him until we both forgot every reason this was forbidden.Before I could even try, Dax let out a low, predatory growl that vibrated straight to my core. He slid down my body with deliberate slowness, his broad shoulders forcing my thighs wider apart. His hot breath ghosted over my soaked pussy, and I shivered violently.Then his mouth was on me.He licked me slowly at first, a long, savoring strokes from my entrance up to my swollen clit, gathering every drop of my earlier release. A deep, guttural groan rumbled from his chest as he tasted me.“Fuck… so sweet,” he mumbled against my folds, voice thick and wreck
Ciara’s POVI was restless on the bed, my brain spinning in endless circles, picking apart every conversation, every glance, every hidden motive in this cursed house. My body felt just as unsettled, it was heavy with exhaustion yet buzzing with that relentless, pregnancy-fueled hunger that never seemed to ease. The worst combination at night.And then there was the woman screaming from Jasper’s room.She had been at it for nearly thirty minutes now, her moans loud and theatrical, echoing through the walls with unnatural clarity thanks to my sharpened hearing. Not that I cared who he was fucking tonight, mafia men have permission to fuck around, mom hammered that into me and i grew up watching all the men in my family doing that.But hey! I was a pregnant woman with hormones running wild, and the sounds were making it impossible to ignore how soaked I was between my thighs. My pussy throbbed with empty need, slick dripping down my folds and soaking the sheets beneath me.It was bad e
Jasper’s POV“She’s mine, Mom. Mine!”The words tore out of me like a snarl as I hurled my phone against the wall. The device shattered on impact, pieces scattering across the marble floor.My chest heaved, rage and something far more twisted burning through my veins, a sick, obsessive love that made my hands shake and my cock harden at the mere thought of her."Control your shit, Jasper. It’s for the best. Remember why this started in the first place. That child’s safety matters."My mother’s voice was calm and almost soothing, as she placed a plate of food on the table. But I was past caring about food. Past caring about anything except the gnawing void where Ciara should be.This whole fucking mess was eating me alive.Ciara was my legally wedded wife. My love. My possession. And now she was being shipped off to some godforsaken realm I couldn’t even reach, all because of that damn pup growing inside her.“You knew this was coming,” my mother continued, pulling out a chair and ur
Dax.Alex's head lowered slightly. “I'm sorry Alpha. I couldn’t recover full information on what the young mistress went through while you were away. She didn’t stay in the main estate for long. She was moved to another apartment at the far end of the property.”My gaze sharpened slightly and I turned slowly.“And the staff?”“All dead.”The words landed clean with no hesitation or uncertainty.“All the servants assigned there have been killed,” he continued. “There are no witnesses. No one left to question.”I exhaled slowly, irritation settling deep instead of flaring out.“Of course there aren’t,” I muttered.“The place was cleaned properly,” Alex added. “No struggle, no clear signs, but the timeline is broken. Someone controlled that space.”I nodded once and then waved him off.“Dig deeper,” I said. “I want everything.”“Yes, Alpha.”He left immediately, and the silence that followed felt heavier than before.I sat down slowly and my eyes fell on the frame resting on the desk.Th
DaxI read the report once, then again, and then a third time slower, not because I didn’t understand it but because I was looking for something that wasn’t written or hiding between the clean lines and careful conclusions, because everything about it made sense on the surface and still felt completely wrong underneath. The numbers aligned, the symptoms matched what little history existed, the observations were precise, yet the core truth sat there like a lie no one had the courage to name. The pup in Ciara’s belly was not developing within any structure I knew, not within Alpha law, bloodline order or anything that had ever been recorded, and that alone was enough to put me on edge because in my world, things either followed rules or they broke things when they didn’t.I set the report down slowly and leaned back in my chair, my gaze drifting toward the wide glass. “Master…” Dr. Voss spoke carefully from behind me, his tone measured like a man who knew he was stepping into territo
Ciara’s pov I don’t know how long I stayed on the floor. Long enough for the tears to dry into salty tracks on my cheeks, long enough for the pup’s energy to settle into something quieter, and almost mournful. Long enough for the cold marble to seep into my bones and remind me I was still alive, s
Ciara’s POVWe walked in silence down the long corridor, Jasper’s hand warm and steady around mine, his thumb brushing slow circles over my knuckles like he was trying to anchor me.Every step felt heavier than the last. The villa’s shadows stretched long under the low sconces, portraits of dead Bl
Ciara’s POVThe first thing that hit me was the sharp, clean, chemical and antiseptic smell of a hospital. My heavy and sticky eyes opened slowly and the white ceiling stared back at me under bright fluorescent lights that made everything feel too harsh. The room was quiet except for the soft beep
Dax’s POVFour hours.Ciara had been in there for four hours and still no sign of the pup’s energy or hers.Just thick, suffocating silence pressing against my skull.I paced the corridor outside the emergency suite, boots wearing grooves into the tile. My wolf was clawing at the inside of my skin,
