.Chapter Forty Three – Cara's Point of ViewI lay on the couch with hands folded across my belly. The house was quiet. Too quiet. I still remembered Sophia's crying in my head although she had scaled up to the bedrooms. Her heart was broken. And because of me. I did not intend to hurt her. I did not intend to do all of these. But I did.I never planned on sleeping with Damon again, but these…It just escaped me.And then… I did something. I did it in order not to be disposed of by Damon. He looked at Sophia as if she was the sun, and yet I couldn't let him do so without a fight. I had something—a baby. Something potent.The thing is I knew.Growing inside of me is a baby by Liam.I was already three months pregnant before Damon ever touched me again. And Damon knew. Hr knew that day when Liam came to take me r. He knew I am being pregnant with Liam, and how he was shocked. But now… now all of that was different. Now he had kissed me again.Maybe. perhaps, if I made him aware that th

Chapter 104– Damon's POVI stood before her door.I heard her soft breathing inside.A week had passed.One complete week since she caught me and Cara. Since the truth unfolded. Since I apologized to her for the error I committed.And every single day thereafter felt like punishment.Sophia stopped sharing our bed. She gathered her stuff and just left without a word. And never returned.She barely addressed me.She walked past me as if I didn't exist.As if I were a stranger.Even Kayden, my wolf, stopped talking to me for a while. He was upset too. Upset with me. Upset at hurting our mate.Now, I was standing in front of her room… heart pounding like a drum.I didn't know why I was scared. I was the Alpha of the strongest pack. I could kill ten rogues in one stroke and not blink.But I couldn't go to my mate's door and knock.I closed my eyes and took deep breaths."Open the door, Damon."Kayden's voice resurfaced eventually."If she refuses you entry, we'll deal with that.

Chapter 105: Cara's POV – The Unexpected SightI had been pacing around the packhouse, trying to cool my head. It had been days since I'd spoken with Damon. Ever since the evening he'd betrayed me, I couldn't seem to handle him. And now, even Sophia, she wasn't even staring at me in the same way anymore. There was tension among us all.But that was something to worry about another time. There was something that worried me much more. I had to keep Damon away from Sophia. I had to tear them apart, destroy what was between them. That was my plan. That was my plan since the first time I'd seen them together, but deep within me lay something that had it set upon making it become a reality.I returned towards the living room, the part of the packhouse where individuals typically gather. But when I drew near, I stopped. I overheard the laughter and became frozen.I did not anticipate this. Not at all.I looked out the window, and there they were. Damon and Sophia. Sitting together. Laughing.

Chapter: The PretenceCara's POVI stood before the bathroom mirror, my thoughts racing. The plan had to succeed. I had thought about this all day long. There was no way I was going to let Damon get away from me. I had tried everything, but nothing seemed to get him back into my life, not in the way I wanted. But now, I had a perfect plan. A way to get him to look at me in a different way.I took a deep breath, scanning the bathroom. It was quiet. Too quiet. I had to make a scene, something that would get Damon's attention and demonstrate to him how much he needed me.What was I going to do?I looked down at the floor in an instant, my head spinning. And then I had it. A snake. A snake, yes. It would be ideal. I could pretend there was a snake in the bathroom, and Damon would run to my aid. I could scream, bolt out, and he would rescue me, would notice me, would care about me. It was ideal.I could already imagine it in my mind's eye: Damon bursting in, his eyes filled with concern, s

Chapter 107: His Eyes Only Saw Me(Sophia's POV)I felt the tension in the air as Damon and I were sitting in our room. It had been weeks since all the drama with Cara went down. The tension was gone now, though, and it gave me hope. Damon, my mate, was now sitting next to me, and I didn't feel lost anymore. It had been hard—so hard to even think of what we’d been through. But now, in this moment, it felt like everything was going to be okay.I rested my head on his shoulder while we conversed in whispers, sharing little smiles and soft giggles. I had missed this. I had missed him. The manner in which he set everything right. When he was with me, it was like nothing else mattered. No one else. Just him and I.And then we heard it—a screeching scream that coursed through the house. My heart jumped."Did you hear that?" I looked up at Damon, but I didn't have to get out the rest of the sentence. He was already on his feet, his face hardening with alarm. He moved quickly towards the door

Chapter 108 The New Born BabyCara's screams echoed through the pack house. They were shrill—keen—hurtful. But they weren't merely the screams of a woman in labor. They were desperate screams. She wasn't merely giving birth to a baby. She was giving birth to a plan. A deception.The pack doctor was already with her. So were two nurses. I had called them when I had found her in her bed earlier, soaked in blood and pain. I couldn't leave her, not even if I wished to.Even if she hated me… even if she wished to kill me.Damon stood by me, silently. Arms crossed, jaw clenched. He'd hardly said anything since we'd gotten there. Only the soft kiss on my cheek as he came in, as if the soft words in my ear had required no words at all: You're the one I chose."She's going to push," the doctor yelled out beyond the open door.We heard it all. The groans. The screams. The nurses' cries, "Breathe." I swallowed hard, my chest strained.And then—The shriek of a newborn baby pierced the clinic.I

Chapter Title: Blood Never Lies(Liam's POV)I didn't tell anyone that I was going.Not Sophia.Not Damon.Not even Cara.I needed to see it for myself. I needed to feel it.Something inside me couldn't rest.Since the time Cara informed me that she was pregnant, my mind hadn't been at peace. At first, she told me it was mine. She begged me to claim it. She cried. She vowed it was the truth. But later, she changed her story—suddenly it was Damon's baby.That's when I realized something was wrong.My wolf didn't trust her.My heart didn't trust her.But nevertheless…What if?What if that child was mine?I needed to know. I needed to see the truth with my own eyes.So I set out from my pack early that morning, before sunrise.I told no one.Not even my father.I crept quietly through the woods. The wind was cold, and the moon still hung low. Each step I took echoed my heartbeat louder. My wolf was restless. He wouldn't settle down inside me. His growl was low, warning, angry.We were c

Chapter Title: The Secret Between Us(Sophia's POV)The moon was at its peak, a quiet witness in the starry night, casting silver shadows over the serene packhouse. Everything around me was still. No laughter. No footsteps. No voices.Only silence.But my heart refused to be quiet.I sat on the edge of the couch, my fingers clenched tightly on the warm mug before me. I hadn't even taken a sip of the tea. It was way past cold. My own thoughts were too loud, too crushing.Cara's words echoed inside my head."He's the father."When she'd said it. something inside of me broke. Like ice breaking under pressure.She lied. Blatantly. Bold.And nobody ever questioned her. Not for an instant.I closed my eyes for a second, attempting to calm the hurricane in my head. But seeing her there, holding the baby, with all the people gathered around her like she was some helpless damsel—it burned itself into my mind. She used that smug expression as a mask, but I could see past it.She was hiding some

Chapter 159 – A Glimmer of HopeSophia's POVThe walls that closed in around me were damp, cold, and cracked. I was on the floor in the corner of the empty room, my arms sore from having them tied behind my back for so long. My ankles were scraped and bruised. The ground was hard. The air smelled of dust, mold, and old paint. It was the kind of place you leave people to be forgotten.But I wasn't forgotten.Not yet.I hadn't eaten for a day—maybe two days. My lips were dry. My stomach growled in pain, not just hunger. But I didn't eat the food they'd brought before. I couldn't. Every bite would be like giving up. And I wasn't ready to quit.Suddenly, the door opened again.I looked up, expecting Cara to enter and taunt me for my misery. But it wasn't her.It was Caleb.He entered quietly, holding a small tray. On it was a piece of bread, a small bowl of scrambled eggs, and a bottle of water. He set it down quietly next to me, kneeling to my level."You have to eat," he said softly.I

Chapter 158 – Trapped in DeceptionDamon's POVThe air was thick in my study. Tension-charged. A burning heat radiated in my chest from a pain that had no reason behind it. A mixture of anger, fear, and confusion.Sophia was nowhere to be found.I had attempted. Texted. Waited.Nothing.She always kept her word. Always told me where she was going to be.But now… nothing.Lucas sat across from me, his hands flying quickly across the tablet screen. He had been quiet the last few minutes, trying to track Cara's phone. The guards we'd sent had lost Sophia. And now Cara too.I did not want to think it. I did not want to believe that Cara was involved. But every fiber of my being was screaming otherwise."Any signal?" I asked, my throat scratchy."Not yet," said Lucas. "Just another second or two. If she's got her phone on, we'll pinpoint it."Before he could finish speaking, the study door creaked open.I raised my head hastily.And there she was.Cara.Craddling the baby in her arms.My h

I had told her to message me or call me the moment she arrived at the location Alec Davis had given her. She promised she would. I believed her. I believed she would keep herself safe.Too long. Too silence now.I picked up my phone and dialed her again.It rang once.And then twice.And then went to voicemail.I stared at the screen, my heart pounding. I tried a third time. Still nothing.A thunderous knock on the door caused me to look up."Come in," I said, attempting to sound calm.Lucas came in, holding a small tablet. I could tell from his face that something was wrong."We've got a problem, Alpha," he told me. "The guards we sent to tail Sophia… they lost her."My heart sank."Lost her?" I repeated, my voice even.What does that even mean?."She went into the building," he explained. "But she never came out. The guards stayed, maybe thi

Chapter 156 : Trapped By CaraThe streets were deserted as I walked to the destination I had been sent. It was an old street, near the town center, yet still deserted enough to make me get a bit apprehensive. I held my phone tight.And then suddenly—A heavy sound behind me.Before I could even turn, someone grabbed me hard from behind. A fist closed over my mouth. I struggled, kicked, screamed — but the rag over my mouth muffled my cry.I was pulled back, through an alley. My heart thudded so violently I thought it would burst.I caught sight of the shape of a broken-down, falling building — the windows broken, the walls cracked. My gut wrenched.They shoved me in.The air was thick with dust and mold. I was tied at the wrists. My mouth was open, my throat dry."W-What's going on?" I gasped. "Let me go!"And then I saw her.Cara.She stepped out of the darkness as if catwalking down a catwalk. Unfazed. Unapologetic. Evil.Caleb was behind her. He turned his head aside when I tried to

Chapter 155 :?The Weight in My Chest(Damon's POV)The air in my study was stale. The room smelled of old pages and quiet reflection. I had a book in my hand, but I wasn't reading. My eyes had been on the same line for the past five minutes. My mind wasn't calm.Not since that message came.Alec Davis — the name that had been so important to Sophia. Her favorite author. The one author who had written stories that had comforted her when the world had been cruel.Now that same author wanted to meet her in person. Alone.I didn't care for it. Not at all. It was strange. It felt too abrupt. Too personal. And something in the message… it had my wolf unsettle with unease.Just then, the door to our bedroom opened.Sophia stepped out. She wore light jeans and a soft cream-colored sweater. Her hair was brushed back neatly. She looked beautiful, but her face carried excitement, like a child about to meet her hero.“Damon,” she said gently.I turned in my chair, eyes meeting hers.“I’m getting

My black trench coat was enveloped around me, heels of shoes sinking delicately into sodden ground as I went deeper into the trees. The moon was silver, distant, cold—like I am tonight.I'd given the message to Caleb hours ago. He responded right away."Same location. Midnight."This is the time I need Caleb the most, I know he doesn’t like Damon, and this is the time for me to act like I care about him.I smiled as I walked towards the small cabin hidden at the edge of the border, a place that only the two of us knew. A place that was filled with tired memories, lust, lies… and now, a new plan.The door was already open before I could knock.He stood there, big and broad, still with that same obstinate look he always had. Caleb. My history. My instrument."Cara," he said coldly. "What are you doing here?""

"What is it?"I placed my phone in his hands and let him read the message.He read again, slowly.And then looked up at me with an eyebrow raised, furrowed face. "Alec Davis. wants her to come alone?""Yes," I said. "No destination yet, but I know Sophia will depart once it comes. And she doesn't want me included."Lucas sat back. "That's not wise.

No guard shouting. No wolves training. Just us. Alone. Safe.I kissed her forehead gently. She smiled faintly but did not open her eyes. She was tired. Maybe it was everything that happened today. The elders visited us earlier. They brought laughter and gifts—but tension as well. They kept reminding us that the pack needed an heir. That we owed it. A future to build.Sophia had said nothing after they left. I'd known something was bothering her. I hadn't asked. Not yet. I'd known she'd tell me when she was ready.Now, in this soft silence, I sensed her release once more."Are you alright?"

A part of me was entertained at how uneasy Sophia and Damon both were with my presence, yet they didn't have the backbone to tell me to leave. Guilt is such a potent leash. And I intended to tug it tighter.I deliberately folded my knees, watching as the curtain twitched to an imaginary dance created by a whiff of a breeze coming in through the window. Outside, the pack revelled, their laughter and cheers causing my stomach to churn—though not from envy. No, it was. enjoyment.For deep within, they knew not that their peace was what I held within my hand. And tonight, I was about to shatter.My phone buzzed on the table next to me.
