ログインThe quiet that fell over the gardens after the messenger arrived felt different from the silence of the coronation.This one felt uncertain.Many guests stood under the sky while the royal guards kept the breathless messenger at a distance and everyone looked at him and the Twin Alphas like they knew whatever came next would change the evening.Kai stepped first.His voice was calm despite the tension."You've interrupted a ceremony."The messenger immediately bowed his head."My Alpha… forgive me."He was still breathing hard. Dust stuck to his clothes as he had ridden without stopping for days."I would never have come if it wasn't urgent."Kian exchanged a glance with Kai before speaking."What happened?"The messenger swallowed hard.His eyes flicked to the gathered rulers before returning to the platform."It concerns Serena."The name alone caused whispers through the crowd.Some frowned.Others exchanged glances.For me…It felt far away.Not because I had forgotten her.Becaus
Selena’s POVThe first chant echoed across the grounds like thunder in the distance, low and steady and every conversation around me stopped as if the whole world had remembered something important.The old leaders standing in the silver circle lifted their carved sticks towards the sky while the moonstones on the platform started to glow one by one. Their voices mixed together saying words in a language I did not know yet somehow my heart understood every word.“By the light that controls the night…”“By the blood that keeps the packs together…”“By the Moon Goddess who chooses her own…”The words wrapped around me like strings that I could not see.A cold wind blew across my skin.My heart beat slowed.Then without warning something hot exploded in my chest.I gasped for air.Pain shot through every part of my body.My knees almost gave way. Before I could fall, Kai's hand closed around mine and Kian stood beside me putting his hand on my back.“You are not alone " Kai whispered, hi
Selena’s POVA month went by fast. Even though I learned something new about Elara and Lyra every day our estate started to feel like home. The babies would. We would get used to it and we would laugh a lot in rooms that used to be quiet.This morning was different though. The estate did not feel normal at all.I saw the servants walking around the garden with roses and moon lilies and musicians were getting ready to play under fancy canopies. Guests were arriving in carriages. I could see the flags with the symbols of our friends' groups waving in the wind.I was standing in front of the mirror in my bedroom holding Lyra and Elara was sleeping in Tina's arms. I just stood there looking at us in the mirror thinking about my life.Tina said, "You have been staring at yourself for a time." She was. Moving her arms gently to keep Elara asleep. "Are you trying to remember who you are?"I laughed a little."No " I said."Then what are you thinking about?"My hands were touching my dress, w
Selena’s POVThe room was really quiet after our daughters fell asleep and even though everyone was still smiling about their arrival things started to feel calmer.It felt like a weight had been lifted off our shoulders. Not because something bad had stopped,. Because something amazing had finally happened after a long wait.I looked at our girls. They already seemed different to me. One of them was frowning in her sleep like she was thinking hard about something and the other one was sleeping really peacefully with her tiny fingers still holding onto Kians hand.I smiled. "They are already becoming themselves " I said.Kian looked at them. Then nodded softly. "They always were " he said.His answer made me feel a little emotional. For months we had been thinking about our daughters. Wondering what they would be like. Now that they were here it was more amazing than we had imagined.Kai leaned over the bassinet. Cleared his throat quietly. "So..." he started to say. He was grinning.
Selena’s POVThe first cry changed everything.It was loud and strong. It filled the whole delivery room. All the other sounds that had been going on for hours just stopped. I started breathing slowly and unevenly and tears came to my eyes before I even knew they were there.Someone laughed quietly.Someone else sniffed.The room got really quiet. It felt special like something important was happening.The doctor said "Congratulations, your daughter" with a warm smile. She was tired. She was still smiling.Daughter.That word meant a lot to me.It was not a baby it was a daughter.The nurse put the baby against my chest and everything else just disappeared.I said "Oh...". That was it.The baby was warm really warm.Her little body was moving up and down as she breathed. One of her tiny hands was on my skin.I just stared at her.I looked at her nose, her tiny head, and the little line between her eyebrows that made her look serious.My daughter.My fingers were shaking as I touched h
Kai’s POVPregnancy did not arrive in my life one day.It crept into my home quietly becoming a part of mornings. Then one day I realized every part of our house was getting ready for someone it had never met.The changes just happened.No one told me about them.They simply... Started.One morning Mrs. Harlow frowned because I tried to pick up a basket of apples.“Oh, no way.”I was surprised.“What’s wrong?”“That’s too heavy for you.”I looked at the basket. Then back, at her. "It’s apples.”“It’s a basket of apples.”“It doesn’t weigh as much as Kai’s pride.”One of the gardeners nearby chuckled.Mrs. Harlow crossed her arms. She was calm like she already knew she was right.“It’s still not happening.”Before I could say anything Kian appeared and took the basket. He just kept walking as he had always planned to.“I wasn’t carrying that " he said calmly.“You just took it from me.”“I helped you.”“It was apples.”“It was something that needed to be done.”“You’re being really ann

Selena’s POVIt’s been a few hours since I woke up and the room was still empty.Slowly, I pulled the covers off my body and swung my legs over the edge of the bed, placing my palms on the bed and glancing around the room. It was eerily quiet and for some reason, that made me unsettled.I sigh and
Selena's POV Turn around little mouse…I squeezed my eyes shut and slowly, I did. Kai stood in the doorway behind me, hands clasped behind his back, looking calm like he had been waiting there the whole time but his anger was written in the stillness of his body. His muscles were tensed and he was
