Amelia's POV.

This would change everything.

It definitely should.

The paper trembled slightly in my hand and I glanced at the results again, just to be sure I wasn't imagining it.

Three weeks pregnant.

The words blurred as my eyes got filled with tears of joy.

I almost screamed in the clinic, but I held it in because I wanted the first real reaction to come from Jace.

He'll pull me into his arms and finally give a smile that reached his eyes for the first time.

“Finally, we are having a pup” he will say, while holding me like I meant everything to him.

At least, that's what I thought…. until I opened the door.

Jace was naked on the bed and that was expected because he loved staying like that even in broad daylight. But I didn't expect someone to be on top of him.

A woman. Naked.

They didn't notice me, didn't stop, didn't know if I exist, until the sound of the door which refused to stay silent finally caught their attention. They turned, snapping their faces to look at me.

When I saw the woman's face, my eyes widened and something immediately snapped inside me. My heart wrecked into pieces and I stumbled backwards, unable to believe my eyes.

“Lydia?” The name barely made it out of my mouth.

The same Lydia who I had always cried to whenever he hurt me.

The same Lydia who had consoled me and told me to be patient.

The same Lydia was in my bed, fucking my man.

“Ignore her” Jace commanded, making me feel like nothing. Those two words made my legs weaken, my knees wobble.

Lydia obeyed, returning to grinding her ass into Jace like he has wanted. They ignored me and continued fucking, like I wasn't there watching as my life was falling apart.

My chest tightened so hard I found it hard to breathe. It felt like something was crushing me slowly from inside. My heart hurt, slowly ripping apart to shreds. Tears slid down my face and I helplessly watched them fall.

Jace groaned, holding a hand up for Lydia to stop and she did.

“Don't you know when to walk away?” He stood up from the bed and covered himself with a robe.

“Jace….. you were cheating on me with Lydia” I stated the obvious.

“And do you expect me to keep looking at your frustrating face everytime I want to fuck?” He snapped. “You should be grateful I even touch you”

My lips parted but words refused to come. Tears spilled harder and Jace continued.

“You are wolfless! Useless! Why the hell do you think someone like you is important?”

He has always been cold, but I never for once expected this from him. I didn't expect to walk into our bedroom one day to find him beneath another woman.

“You don't care about me, Jace” My voice cracked, giving in to the pain the sight was causing me.

“And why should I care about you, Amelia?” Jace laughed at my pain. “Don't forget you are a nobody! A mistake the moon goddess made!”

Tears blurred everything I could see and I blinked my eyes, letting them fall without restraints. I turned my face back to Lydia who was seated on the bed, naked. Like she was waiting for Jace to come back to her.

“Lydia, you?” My face creased and my tone echoed with disbelief.

“Oh, please” Lydia lifted a hand up in the air to shut me up. “Don’t start with that pitiful tears of yours”

“You?” She scoffed. “You really thought you deserved him?” My friend of six years looked over at me like I was filth that shouldn't be rubbed on her.

I shook my head, eyes darting between the both of them and instinctively, my legs started moving backwards, tears still spilling out of my eyes uncontrollably.

When I retreated into the hallway, I couldn't hold it in anymore.

I turned and ran.

I couldn't dare look back, I just squeezed the pregnancy results in my hand and ran.

I didn't know how far I went but when I stopped, I was in front of the pool. I stared at the still water, breath breaking into gasps as my tears spilled harder.

He wasn't supposed to do this to me. I loved him…. I mean…..he's my mate, and I saw a future with him.

My body grew weak and I fell to the floor, gripping the hard grass as I poured the pain in my heart out with tears.

A few minutes later, someone appeared beside me and I was forced to turn. My eyes were swollen from tears, breath still shaky from the shock.

It was one of the maids of the packhouse and I sniffled back my tears, ready to listen to her.

“The alpha needs you to come to the hall right now” she said and turned before I could ask questions.

My stomach knotted with confusion and I stood up, standing on the spot for a while to think.

Why now?

After what he had done, what could be so important?

The packhouse hall was used only to discuss important things in the pack, between the elders and the alpha. Most times, I was always present because I was the Luna.

But my mind was unsettled and I wondered what the pressing matter could be.

Despite all the questions I needed an answer to in my head, and despite the betrayal that had threathened to rip me apart, I headed to the hall.

I wiped my face, folding my pregancy results neatly and opened the door to the hall the moment I arrived. I didn't need ths elders to see me broken. When the door swing opened, I froze.

The hall was filled with not just the elders of the pack, but also the pack members. That was unusual.

No meeting has ever required the pack members to show up here, so why?

What could have happened? What could be so urgent?

When I couldn't figure the answer out, I concluded that Jace must have a reason for calling everyone together.

“Welcome, Luna” the pack members greeted in choruses. “Welcome, Lady Amelia” the elders also chirped in.

I responded everyone of them with a slight smile that hid all my pains.

My legs moved and I headed towards the chair designed for the Luna but I was forced to stop when I reached the center of the room. Jace emerged from the door that connected the hall into the house and behind him, Lydia followed.

Jace took his seat on the chair meant for the Alpha and my eyes widened in shock when Lydia took the seat meant for the Luna. Both saw me but turned their faces away immediately.

“What is she doing?” I muttered to myself, voice slightly shaky.

My stomach twisted.

That was my seat. I was the Luna of the pack…I still am.

So, why…. was Lydia sitting in it?

    Something unresolved," I said. "Something that needed addressing." I looked at the letter on the desk. "But it's just a man asking for help with his daughter. The history is there — I'm not pretending it isn't — but it's behind the question rather than in it."Zayden looked at me for a moment."Do you want to write back?" he asked."Yes," I said. "I think he asked something real and it deserves a real answer.""Then write back," he said. Simply. No qualification, no hesitation, the uncomplicated trust of a man who had never once asked me to manage my past differently than I managed it.I had not taken that for granted in years.I did not take it for granted now.Caelen, when I told him about the letter, went still in the way he went still when something required his full consideration before he responded."A daughter," he said. "Born with her eyes open.""Yes."He looked at the map for a moment — the vast, annotated record of gifts and lineages and territories."She's on the map alrea

  • Rejected By Him, Claimed By Another Alpha   Chapter 175 — What Moonlight Pack Sent

    Amelia POV The letter arrived on a morning in late spring, carried by a courier I didn't recognize — a young wolf, travel-worn, who handed it to Reyna at the gate with the careful formality of someone who had been given specific instructions about its delivery and intended to follow them precisely.Reyna brought it to me in the garden.She didn't say who it was from. She didn't need to. The seal was Moonlight Pack's — I had known that seal since childhood, had seen it on documents throughout twenty years of living under its authority, and the specific quality of the wax and the impression of it was as familiar as anything from that period of my life.I set down what I was doing.I held the letter for a moment without opening it.Not from fear — or not exactly. More the instinctive pause of someone who has learned to receive significant things with full attention rather than rushing past the moment of before into the moment of after. The before, I had found, was worth inhabiting. It

    "She's almost there," Petra said. "She just needs one more thing to tip her over.""What thing?" I asked."Time," Petra said. "That's all. She's been alone with it for a long time. She needs to know that the alternative is genuinely available before she chooses it. Choosing something you're not sure will still be there is harder than it looks."I thought about the gate of this packhouse, years ago. The specific quality of arriving at something you were not certain would receive you."Yes," I said. "It is."Caelen's map had grown significantly.I stood in front of it one morning, while he was in his studies, and looked at the full picture — all the marks and notations and the careful color-coding system he had developed to distinguish between confirmed contacts, pending contacts, contested territories, and the northern mountain packs that remained unreached.The map told a story.Not a completed story — there were gaps, significant ones, and the northern section was still largely blank

  • Rejected By Him, Claimed By Another Alpha   Chapter 173 — What Endures

    Amelia POV Spring arrived slowly that year.Not the dramatic, sudden spring of some years — the kind that arrives overnight and announces itself with warmth and colour simultaneously, as though the season has been waiting impatiently and has finally lost patience with winter's hesitation. This was the gradual kind. The kind that comes in by degrees, a slightly warmer afternoon here, the first suggestion of green at the edge of the pine line there, the light lasting twenty minutes longer than it did the week before.I noticed it the way I noticed most things now — with the full, present attention of someone who has learned that the ordinary details of a day are worth the noticing, not because they are extraordinary but because they are real, and real things deserve attention regardless of their scale.I was in the garden when Reyna brought me the letter.Not Mara's training room. Not the library desk. The garden that Corrin had started three years ago behind the eastern wall, which

    "You're planning for a future you won't fully see for years," I said."Yes," he said. "Isn't that what the Teaching Practice is?"I looked at my son.He was right, as he so often was, in the specific way that clear-eyed people are right — not with insight that required particular genius, but with the plain acknowledgment of what was already there if you looked at it directly.The Teaching Practice was not a present-tense project. It was a long-direction thing. Seeds, as Mara had said from the beginning. Seeds that became what they became on their own timeline, in their own soil, in the specific conditions of each territory they took root in.The third letter from Petra was shorter than the others.It came from the territory she had described as hardest — the one where Ferris's influence was most recent and most felt.I met Cressida today. She invited me herself, which surprised me. I had been visible for four days without pressing for a meeting.She asked me directly what the Teaching

  • Rejected By Him, Claimed By Another Alpha   Chapter 171 — Petra's Letters

    Amelia POV She wrote every week without fail.Not long letters — Petra was not a person who used more words than a situation required, which was one of the things I had come to respect about her in the months she'd spent at the packhouse. But consistent, which mattered more than length. Each letter arrived on roughly the same day, written in the direct, economical hand she'd developed through months of practice, and told me exactly what she had found and what she had done and what she thought about both.The first letter came from the southernmost of the six contested territories.The pack here is small — maybe forty wolves. The Alpha is a woman named Cressida who received our original letter and never wrote back. I didn't try to see her first. I spent two days just being visible in the ordinary spaces. Market, common hall, the kind of places where people assess you before they decide whether to talk to you.On the third day a woman approached me. She had a daughter, nine years old,
