Amelia’s POV

It was almost midnight, and the entire palace was cloaked in silence.

After the terrible encounter with Kai, and after shedding so many bitter tears, I felt completely drained, body and soul.

I just wanted to rest. To be left alone for once. To find a little peace.

I lay down on my bed, turned off the lamp, and pulled the blanket up to my chin, closing my eyes.

The darkness wrapped around me like a cocoon, and for a moment, I thought maybe… maybe sleep would finally come.

But then—

I felt it.

That eerie prickle on my skin.

That undeniable sense that I wasn’t alone.

I opened my eyes—and immediately froze.

Two glowing red eyes stared at me from the dark.

My heart slammed against my ribs as my trembling hand shot out to switch the lamp back on.

Light flooded the room—and my breath caught in my throat.

It was him.

The King.

Standing there, tall, imposing, and far too comfortable invading my personal space.

I scrambled upright, clutching the covers to my chest.

“My King, you s

    Clara’s POVI walked through the long hallway, my eyes scanning every corner of the palace, searching for the King.But he was nowhere to be found.It was as if he had vanished into thin air.I sighed and placed a hand on my hip. If I really wanted the King to fall in love with me, then I had to start putting my plan into action now.He might be cold. He might be ruthless. But at the end of the day, he’s still a man.And men… they can fall, no matter how strong they pretend to be.“I think something is seriously wrong with you.”Lara, my wolf, spoke through our bond, her voice sharp and irritated.“Why are you walking around here trying to make that beast fall in love with you? Did you already forget what he did at the dining hall last night? He literally ripped a man’s head off, in front of everyone! While they were eating! We’re supposed to run away from him, not flirt with him!”I rolled my eyes and answered her in my head.“Shut up, Lara. What do you know? We read romance novels a

  • Pregnant for my husband’s father    Chapter 58

    Ethan’s POVI walked into the dining hall and sat down.The place was clean, too clean. If I hadn’t been here last night, I would never believe that someone was killed right on this table. The maids had done a good job. No blood, no mess. Just a shiny table like nothing ever happened.But honestly, I wasn’t surprised. This is the royal palace of the most feared, Ruthless and powerful werewolf in the world. Killing is just a normal part of life here. No one questions it.I was alone in the hall. I didn’t wait for anyone, I served myself. It actually felt nice to eat alone. I’ve been trying to avoid seeing Elena all morning.After what happened between us last night, I don’t even know what to say to her.How do I explain why I didn’t touch her? Why I refused to have sex with her?Why my dick wasn’t getting hard for her even after all the things she did to get it hard?She’s my wife.But I don’t feel attracted to her, not in that way. And I hate myself for it.Ever since the kiss with

  • Pregnant for my husband’s father    Chapter 57

    Clara’s POVI turned away from the window, my fingers trailing lightly over the silky fabric of the curtains. The palace was still quiet, blanketed in the hush of early morning, but I could feel the pulse of power that lived within its walls.Last night had shown me something terrifying… and something useful.The King wasn’t just powerful. He was untouchable. Fearless. A monster in his own right, but a monster that commanded gods and demons alike. And in a world like this, a woman needed more than courage or skills with a blade, she needed proximity to power.If I couldn’t beat the beast, I had to tame it.A slow smile spread across my lips as I walked back toward the mirror. My reflection stared back, fierce and beautiful, eyes sharp with purpose.I wasn’t a fool. I knew love had nothing to do with it. Men like the King didn’t love, they claimed. They possessed. They consumed.But if I could make him want me, if I could make him crave me the way he craved blood and dominance, then I

  • Pregnant for my husband’s father    Chapter 56

    Elena’s POVI wanted to scream at him. I wanted to throw something—or maybe just walk away and never come back. But instead, I stood there… staring at the person I thought I knew better than anyone in the world.“You want to fix it?” I laughed bitterly, shaking my head. “You think an apology just fixes something like this?”Alex didn’t speak. He just stood there, towel around his waist, guilt etched across every inch of his face.“I defended you,” I whispered, the words tearing out of me. “I defended you to everyone. When people said you were distant, or hard to read—I said they just didn’t know you like I did. I thought I knew you, Alex. I trusted you with everything in me.”He stepped forward, his voice gentle. “You still can—”“No, don’t.” I raised a hand, stopping him. “You didn’t just hide this. You let me make a fool of myself. Do you know how many times I played matchmaker, thinking I was helping my best friend find love—when really, you were just standing there, letting me do

  • Pregnant for my husband’s father    Chapter 55

    Alex’s POVMy head throbbed like it had been cracked open and stitched back together. I groaned, rubbing my temples as I blinked my eyes open. The sunlight stabbed through the curtains with no mercy.Then I felt it—warm skin pressed against mine. A hand draped lazily across my chest.Shit.I turned slowly and found a guy lying next to me—naked, fast asleep, his hair tousled, lips slightly parted like he didn’t have a single care in the world.The memories hit me like a flood—his hands on my waist at the bar, the way he leaned close and whispered things that made me forget Ethan even existed. The drunken laughter, the kisses, and then… the wild mess that followed here in my room.I sighed and sat up, my body aching in ways that confirmed every memory. Just as I was about to drag myself out of bed, the guy stirred.He opened his eyes, smiled sleepily, and said, “Morning, sunshine.”I gave a half-hearted chuckle. “Yeah… morning.”“You look like you wrestled with a hurricane.”“Well,” I s

  • Pregnant for my husband’s father    Chapter 54

    Alex’s POVI sat there in the dimly lit room long after Ethan left, still stunned by the kiss, the rejection, and the ache in my chest that I just couldn’t shake. I stared blankly at the wall, letting the silence weigh on me like a punishment I deserved.What the hell was I thinking?I kissed him again. Let him touch me. Let myself feel something I shouldn’t. Something forbidden.I should hate him for walking away.But I hated myself more.I was having an affair with my best friend’s husband. Elena’s husband. And the worst part? I didn’t even want to stop.I didn’t plan this. I never wanted to feel this way. But it happened. And now, every time I see him with her, every time I watch him pretend like we’re nothing, it cuts deeper.I didn’t feel like going back to the masquerade ball. I didn’t want to face Ethan. I sure as hell didn’t want to see Elena, smiling like everything was perfect.Everything is not perfect.I needed to breathe. I needed something to numb this storm in my chest.
