Lucy's POV

I screamed.

The fork in my hand clattered to the floor, echoing through the grand dining hall like a sword strike.

For a moment, all I could see was that night—her tiny body wrapped in blankets, her cries replaying in my head. My arms are empty. My heart shattered.

“My baby girl,” I had whispered that night. “Forgive me.”

“Mom?” Elena’s voice snapped me back. She sat across from me, her fork paused mid-air, concern etched across her face. “Are you okay?”

I blinked at her, my throat dry, my palms getting sweaty. “Yes, darling. I’m fine. Just… a bit tired.”

She tilted her head, clearly not convinced. Before she could say more, Ryker leaned forward, placing his hand gently on her shoulder.

“Elena,” he said softly, “why don’t you start your training early today? Your uncle, Eli, should be downstairs already waiting for you. We'll see you at lunch.”

Her brows lifted. “Hmmm”

“Well, okay."

Ryker nodded. “That’s my girl.”

Elena grinned and rose to her feet. “I’ll see you later,

  • Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress    Chapter 60: The Wolf From The Forest

    Elena’s POV "Presenting the Princess Elena of the howler pack."The doors opened wide, and a hush fell over the grand ballroom. My heart thumped in my chest as I stepped forward, my long black gown brushing the floor with every stride I took. The chandelier light above shines down, complementing my dress. Dozens of eyes—curious, judgmental eyes- followed me as I descended the staircase. My back straightened. My chin lifted. My hands trembled slightly, hidden within my gown.This was the performance of a lifetime, so I had to make it a good one.At the foot of the stairs sat a long banquet table, lined with powerful wolves, elders, alphas, and warriors—all with their bodyguard wolves positioned right behind them, ready for anything. At the center of it all, seated on a high-backed silver chair, was the Alpha King himself—Alpha Batholi.I walked slowly, gracefully towards him. Ray’s footsteps were following behind me, his presence not too heavy in the room. When I reached the table

  • Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress    Chapter 59: Shifty The Shifter

    Luna’s POV “I see you've met my son." A quiet gasp slipped out of my lips before I could stop it. Elena turned to look at me, her brows raised slightly, but I just shook my head. No words.We followed the man wearing the hat inside. The house—or should I say mansion- was unlike anything I’d ever seen before. Massive chandeliers were hanging from the ceiling, casting rays of golden light over the polished marble floors. Every inch of the place screamed power and wealth. My boots felt too dusty to be walking on such clean floors like this.Elena glanced back at me with wide eyes. “This place is huge, I'll give them that.”“I feel like I’m in some kind of luxury bread and breakfast home,” I whispered.Ray didn’t say a word as he walked ahead, always silent and alert. I admired that about him—how he was always ready.“This is as far as I go," the man wearing the hat said to us. “Just go upstairs, a maid will attend to you." Upstairs, just like he said, a maid showed us into a room. Ra

    Elena's POV Ray let out a loud laugh, tossing his head back like he’d just cracked the best joke in the world. I didn’t even really catch what he’d said, but it made the girl across from us smile softly.“Who are you?” I asked, my voice gentle. She turned toward me, her eyes calm. “I’m Luna. The royal healer.”My breath caught. “You’re the one who saved me… when I was in that coma.”Luna gave a small nod, her expression soft. “And this is the first time I’m seeing you. It’s good to finally meet you, Princess Elena.”“Same here,” I said, unsure of what else to say. “And it's just Elena, no more of this princess shit. That goes for you too Ray," I said turning to him. “But princess —" “What did I just say?" “My bad." Without a word, Luna reached into her small pouch, which she slung over her shoulder, and pulled out a crystal-clear bottle. She handed it toward me.“Here,” she said. “Drink this. It’ll calm your nerves.”I arched an eyebrow. “I don’t have nerves,” I muttered, thoug

    Elena's POVThe sky blushed orange as the sun took its final bow for the day, casting long shadows over the gathering of wolves. The courtyard buzzed with whispers and uneasy tension. The entire pack had gathered, their eyes turned toward the raised stone pedestal where my mum now stood. Someone who was weeping but a moment ago, now her expression unreadable.I stood near the front, my heart literally pounding in my chest. I could feel the shift in the air.My mum raised her hand, and then the murmuring stopped."Alpha Ryker is dead," she said clearly.A gasp rippled through the crowd like a sudden gunshot. “The Alpha?" “How could this be?" “We're all doomed!" Murmurs rose again, louder this time, voices tinged with disbelief and grief. My throat tightened as I felt the guilt making its way down my gut—this was all my fault.“Yes, he's dead." My mum didn’t flinch. “He gave everything for the safety of this pack,” she continued. “For the safety of his family. He fought hard and k

  • Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress    Chapter 56: The Alpha is dead

    Elena's POV I slammed my door shut so violently that it shook the frame. My chest heaved as I ran to my suitcase, yanked it from under the bed, and flung it open. Clothes—any clothes I could grab were shoved in without so much at a single thought. My fingers trembled, my vision blurred, and tears ran down my face.These people were the reason I was in that coma?I needed to leave.Leave this palace. Leave this pack. Leave all this madness about marrying someone I didn't even know existed till today.Just then, a sharp knock startled me. "Elena! Please! Open the door!"It was my mum.I ignored her and continued packing. Suddenly, my knees gave out, and I slumped onto the bed, the suitcase lying half-packed beside me. My eyes drifted to the mirror across the room.I looked at my reflection as it stared back at me.The girl staring back looked nothing like a princess. Her hair was tangled, her cheeks swollen and filled with tears, her lips trembling."This is the life of a princess," I

    Luna's POV I was still in the garden with Lucy until she stopped by the bench."Sit," she said, already making herself comfortable.I paused. "You're not going to push me into the bushes again, are you?" Remembering what happened last time we were here together.Lucy laughed—a real one, not that forced polite one she usually gave during palace dinners. "No, I promise. I only do that on Thursdays."I hesitated, then sat beside her, keeping a bit of space.She was quiet for a moment. Then she turned to me, her voice softer than I'd ever heard. "I want to tell you something. About me."I blinked. That was the last thing I expected her to say to me."You think I'm just the Queen, right? Always in control, always standing beside Ryker like we planned everything from the start. But it wasn’t always like this. Before the palace, I was a stripper."My eyes widened. I couldn't believe my ears."I had to take care of my younger brother. He got sick a lot. Hospital bills, medication, food—I did
