The next morning dawned with an odd surreality. I made it to the gym, and then to most of the day with a kind of chilly fog. I found myself feeling more melancholic than usual.

Why couldn’t I control it?

Every time I was near her, my mask slipped. The carefully built armour I had forged for years cracked, just from the way she looked at me. Her defiance should have angered me, and it did, but it also set something inside me alight, something I couldn’t name without choking on it.

I hated it. I hated her for it. And yet… I couldn’t stay away.

I had meant to scare her away by my words, to remind her of the contract, of the chains that bound her to me. That much had been easy. But when she spoke back—when her eyes met mine without faltering, I felt my control unravel. It was like trying to leash a wildfire.

Ever since the possibility crept into my mind, the possibility that she might be my mate, nothing had been the same. I had spent my life mastering myself, reigning in my temper,

    CardanLife was never just one thing.It wasn’t only beautiful, or cruel, or messy. It was all of it at once. The good, the bad, and the ugly, woven so tightly together you couldn’t ever really separate them. And if you tried, you’d lose your mind.The only thing you could do was accept it. Be content with what you had, grateful for the rare moments when it felt good… and fight like hell to control how often you got to taste those pieces of good.I had spent most of my life on the ugly end of the spectrum. Rage. Grief. War. Blood that would never wash off my hands. But having her tangled in my arms, her soft breaths against my chest, her warmth keeping the dark at bay, they reminded me why I fought so hard in the first place.For the good.A vibration against the nightstand cut through the silence. I frowned, dragging one hand away from Scarlett’s waist to grab my phone. The name flashing on the screen made me freeze. Then, slowly, a smile curved my lips.“Well, well,” I murmured to m

  • Pregnant For The Enemy Alpha    Morning Surprise

    ScarlettThe first thing I felt when I woke was something warm. It was not the kind of warmth from the blankets or the sunshine through the window. This was different. It was dolid, alive, pressed close enough that my skin tingled from it.For a moment, I thought I was still dreaming a vivid dream. But when my lashes fluttered apart, I was met with the rise and fall of a bare chest right beside me.My breathing halted. He was still here?My mind strugglef to piece it together that information. Every other time we had shared a bed, for whatever reason, I had woken alone, with almost no trace of him but his scent clinging faintly. He had always vanished before morning, like he wanted to erase any evidence of what we had shared.The sight of him lying here holding me to himself was simply… disarming. His face, was softer in sleep. His lashes brushed against his cheeks, longer than I haf ever noticed. His lips, usually curled in some taunt or smirk, rested parted just slightly as he breat

  • Pregnant For The Enemy Alpha    Nightmares and Cuddles

    ScarlettThe nightmares were getting worse.It was like my mind had decided to replay everything I had buried, each night peeling back another layer until I woke up gasping, shaking, my heart racing like I was still running. Faces I wanted to forget. Screams I had tried to block out. And the blood. Too much blood. It clung to me even when I opened my eyes, the imaginative heat making my skin prickle like it could burn me alive from the inside out.Most nights, I managed to push through it. Bite down on the pillow, count my breaths, tell myself it wasn’t real anymore. But tonight, I couldn’t. I tried curling tighter under the sheets, trying to remind myself that I was safer awake, or at least, safer than I had been. But my body wouldn’t listen. My bones trembled, my heart kept racing, and every sound in the hallway made me flinch.I hated it. I hated feeling weak, needy. I hated the idea of needing anyone at all. But still, my feet found the floor.Before I could stop myself, I was ou

  • Pregnant For The Enemy Alpha    Plan In Motion

    CardanThe drive down to Stunt Ville was long, but my mind kept it shorter. When I finally pulled up, the air itself felt different. The land bore the stench of decay and blood.I stepped out of the car, boots crunching on gravel, and the silence that greeted me wasn’t comforting. It was the silence of predators, the quiet before a strike.The rogues had carved this wasteland for themselves, a place where law and reason had long since died. Many of them, once men, had already surrendered their minds to the beast. After the first full moon, their humanity decayed, burned away until all that remained was fur, teeth, and instinct.Cassius emerged from the haze of smoke and shadow, his expression grim, his eyes hard in a way that told me I wasn’t going to like what I was about to see. He gave me a curt nod, stepping close enough to lower his voice.“You came fast,” he said, though there was no relief in his tone. “Good. You need to see this for yourself.”Without another word, he turned, a

  • Pregnant For The Enemy Alpha    Goodby, The Saddest Word

    ScarlettThe day passed as quickly as fast as the wind. It was the day I had agreed to meet with Harley to give her my response about running away together. It was nighttime, and the moon hung Hugh up in the sky.I met with her in the garden, the moonlight casting an eerie glow over the flowers. She looked at me expectantly, her eyes searching for a glimmer of hope."Hey," I said, taking a deep breath to prepare for what I was about to say. "I've been thinking... and I don't think I can go with you."Her face fell, and she looked like she had been punched in the gut. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I hesitated, unsure of how to explain. "It's just... I'm not sure I can trust Cassian right now. And even if I could, I'm not sure I'm ready to leave."Her expression softened, and she reached out to take my hand. "I understand," she said. "But Scarlett, you have to think about your own survival. Cardan won't hesitate to use you if it suits his purposes."Use
