Chloe's POV

The rainfall outside the estate nursery hit the high stained-glass windows in a steady, rhythmic pattern, filling the quiet room with the cool scent of wet stone and pine.

I sat in the oversized armchair near the hearth, gently rocking Leo in my arms. Across the plush rug, Ruben was sitting on a folded blanket with Maya, holding a small wooden rattle that made the little girl gurgle with laughter. Outside, the entire pack was buzzing with tension, guards double-checking their weapon

  • Protecting The Enemy Alpha's Baby   Chapter Thirty Two

    Chloe's POVThe air inside the timber lodge turned instantly, violently cold.The parchment on the table,stamped with the blood-red wax seal of King Ralf,seemed to glow with a sickening, suffocating light. My hands, which had been hovering nervously near my waist where our secret baby slept, dropped limply to my sides."Betrothed?" I whispered, my voice sounding paper-thin, echoing eerily in the quiet room.Lewis looked at me with an expression of agonizing, tortured helplessness, his amber eyes slitted and dark with a grief so deep it made my own chest ache."Lady Seraphina," Lewis rasped, taking a heavy step toward me, his voice trembling with a rare, terrible desperation. "She is the daughter of the high council leader. The Zuri clan is facing a genetic collapse in their lower bloodlines. King Ralf is using the match to secure the eastern borders and preserve royal lion strain.""A lion wife," I murmured, a bitter, hysterical laugh threatening to break from my throat. I backed away

  • Protecting The Enemy Alpha's Baby   Chapter Thirty One

    Chloe's POV The rainfall in the coastal university town had a way of blunting the sharp edges of the world, turning the cobblestone streets into shimmering grey mirrors. A full year had passed since I slammed the door of Lecture Hall B and discovered Lewis’s true identity. Twelve long months of living a dangerous, exhausting double life. On campus, nothing had visibly changed. Professor Vance had eventually returned to take back his cross-species physiology lectures, and General Lewis of the Zuri clan had officially "concluded" his guest stint. But he hadn't left town. He remained stationed in a private, heavily guarded estate on the outskirts of the neutral zone, continuing his high-level intelligence work for King Ralf. And every single week, under the cover of fog and moonlight, I went to him. Our relationship existed entirely in the shadows,a secret, white-hot sanctuary carved out away from the prying eyes of the university board, the Zuri pride, and my three overprotecti

  • Protecting The Enemy Alpha's Baby   Chapter Thirty

    Chloe's POV The early morning mist hung heavy over the glass canopy of the university garden, but inside my chest, a different kind of heat burned. Two days had passed since the chaotic night in Sam’s dorm room. Two days since Lewis had pinned me against the floorboards, broken down my carefully built defenses, and laid claim to my soul. My neck still carried the ghost of his mouth, and my inner wolf was humming a quiet, terrifying melody of absolute contentment. I walked down the narrow, cobblestone path toward the quiet administrative pavilion behind the science hall. I had a folded parchment in my pocket,a formal request to rescind my course transfer request. I was done running. If Lewis wanted a war between a lion and a wolf, I was ready to meet him on the battlefield. As I reached the rear entrance of the faculty building, the heavy timber door stood slightly ajar. I reached out to push it open, but the sound of hushed, intense voices echoing from inside made me pause. "The

  • Protecting The Enemy Alpha's Baby   Chapter Twenty Nine

    Chloe's POVThe tangled cotton sheets lay discarded on the small twin bed above us, but we weren't on the mattress anymore.We were tangled together on the cool, hard floorboards of Sam's dorm room, bathed in the dim silver light filtering through the half-drawn blinds. The storm outside had finally broken, leaving behind a heavy, humid quiet that echoed the chaotic silence inside the room.It was just like us,powerful, chaotic, and laced with an overwhelming, white-hot passion that burned away every shred of rational thought.There had been no gentle, hesitant warmth. From the moment the heavy door clicked shut, our meeting had been an absolute clash of wild, dominant forces. It was a war of biting kisses, gasping breaths, hands digging hard into flushed skin, and a breathless, explosive surrender that shattered my royal wolf pride into a thousand glittering pieces. His dry, sun-baked savanna heat had swamped my senses, drowning out my ozone storm until there was nothing left in the

  • Protecting The Enemy Alpha's Baby   Chapter Twenty Eight

    Chloe's POVNinety-eight. Ninety-nine. One hundred.I spat violently into the porcelain sink, the harsh mint taste of the toothpaste burning the back of my throat like raw lye. I turned the cold water tap on full blast, cupped my trembling hands, and splashed freezing water over my face and mouth, scrubbing my lips with the back of my sleeve until the skin burned hot and tender.It was useless.No matter how much toothpaste I used, no matter how hard I scrubbed my mouth, I couldn't wash away the taste of him. The dry, sun-baked savanna heat, the sharp tang of heavy Alpha musk, and the lingering, electric memory of his mouth crashing over mine against the metal lockers still clung to my tongue, making my blood race in violent, chaotic circles.Beside the bathroom door, Sam stood leaning against the wooden frame, his slender arms crossed over his chest, watching me with a look of pure, unadulterated exasperation."Chlo," Sam said softly, his voice echoing in the small dorm bathroom.I i

  • Protecting The Enemy Alpha's Baby   Chapter Twenty Seven

    Chloe's POVThe air inside the university gym’s lower basement locker room was hot, humid, and heavy with the scent of chlorine, damp towels, and polished steel.I stood in front of my narrow metal locker, violently shoving my damp workout clothes into my sports bag. My hands were trembling slightly,not from the intense ninety-minute track workout I had just finished, but from the relentless, chaotic storm echoing in my brain ever since Sam’s brutal confrontation in the courtyard yesterday.You want him, don't you? It's written all over your face."Shut up," I muttered to myself, zipping my bag shut with a sharp, metallic jerk.I swung the heavy strap over my shoulder and turned toward the wooden bench where Sam was sitting, calmly tying the laces of his white sneakers."Come on, Sam," I said, pitching my voice to sound casual and unbothered. "If we leave now, we can hit the juice bar before the library gets packed for afternoon study—"The heavy double doors of the locker room swung
