LOGINSeraphina’s POVA gentle knock echoed through my bedroom the next morning.“Alpha?”I looked up from the earrings I was trying to wear. “Come in.”A young maid stepped inside with a bright smile. “Lady Emelda is asking for you.”I smiled immediately. “Is she ready?”The maid laughed softly. “Not yet Alpha”I smiled. “Okay, I’ll be there in a minute.”The maid bowed before leaving.I took one last look at myself in the mirror, smoothed the front of my dress and headed towards the bridal suite.The palace was already buzzing with excitement. Servants hurried through the corridors carrying flower arrangements while musicians tuned their instruments in the distance.Guests filled the grand hallways, laughing and chatting as they waited for the ceremony to begin.Today wasn’t just any royal event, Today, Emelda was getting married.When I reached the bridal suite, I knocked gently.“It’s me.”The door flew open almost immediately. “Finally!” Emelda pulled me inside before I could even say
Caspian’s POVThe palace had never been this busy. From the moment the sun rose, one convoy after another arrived through Ironmoor’s gates.The courtyard quickly filled with distinguished guests from every corner of the Pack Alliance.Alphas stepped out wearing formal ceremonial suits while their Betas followed closely behind them.Council representatives greeted one another with firm handshakes and polite smiles.Everywhere I looked, servants hurried across the palace carrying luggage, flowers, gifts and last-minute wedding decorations.It was exactly what I had expected. A royal wedding wasn’t simply a celebration. It was politics and a statement to the entire Pack Alliance. Ironmoor had to get everything right.A guard approached me and bowed.“Alpha. The Eastern pack has arrived.”I nodded. “I’ll receive them myself.”“Yes, Alpha.”The next few hours passed in a blur. Every arriving Alpha expected a personal greeting and council member wanted a few minutes of my time.Some congrat
Maxwell’s POVI broke the seal and pulled out the papers. They were copies of confidential ironmoor documents. My eyes moved over the first page. Palace security patrols, the times, routes and guard changes. Everything laid out like a map for us. Next came the emergency evacuation routes then the hidden underground passages beneath the palace and finally, the official seating arrangement for Emelda’s wedding. Every chair, every important guest, marked clearly.A slow smile spread across my face. “Perfect,” I whispered.“I hope you can pull this off Maxwell,” he said in a low voice as he wiped sweat from his forehead. “It took weeks of careful moves to get this. I copied one page at a time, always when no one was watching. One mistake and they would have caught me.”I looked up at him. “You did a great job.”Patrick leaned closer, his voice barely above a whisper, “This is probably my last chance to pass anything directly to you. After today, the palace will tighten security like nev
Maxwell’s POVI left the pack house that evening after my discussion with Laura. I had postponed our mating ceremony once more, telling her the timing wasn’t right with the court hearing and the political unrest. I know she’s hurt with what I said but I don’t care, not when everything is falling apart around me.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as I drove to one of my private properties on the edge of Silvermont territory. Adams was waiting for me there. Twenty minutes later, my car rolled to a stop outside the house. I looked around to make sure no one was following me because I knew Adams was already waiting for me in the small, hidden cabin.Very few people knew this place existed. Anyone passing by would assume nobody had lived there for years.I parked the car and got out.Before I reached the front door, it opened and Adams looked at me without smiling.“You’re late.”“I had to make sure nobody followed me.”He stepped aside. “Good. Come in.”The door closed behind me
Laura’s POVI walked out of the healer’s house with the medical report clutched tightly in my hands. My steps were slow and careful, my sprained ankle still aching, but my heart felt lighter than it had in days. The healer had been very clear: the pregnancy was now high-risk and another scare could lead to miscarriage. I needed to rest. Maxwell would finally see how serious this was and maybe he would finally stand up to his mother and sister and tell them to leave me alone. I thought to myself. The drive home was quiet. I kept the report folded in my lap as I sat in the back seat of the car with one hand resting protectively over my stomach.Every now and then, my fingers tightened unconsciously. I felt hopeful that no one would question the orders of the pack healer, at least not after what had happened that made me nearly lose the baby.When we arrived at the pack house, a servant hurried forward to open my door.“Welcome home, Lady Laura.”I smiled faintly. “Thank you.”I got do
Laura’s povMy eyelids felt impossibly heavy as I slowly opened them. For a moment, I couldn’t remember where I was then a dull ache spread through my body. My heart skipped. “My baby…” My hand flew to my stomach as the memory crashed into me so violently when I tried to sit upright.A startled voice stopped me.“Easy.”The pack healer hurried to my bedside and gently pressed a hand against my shoulder. “You mustn’t move so suddenly.”“My baby.” The words came out broken again. “Please…Tell me my baby is alright.”The healer’s expression softened. “Take a deep breath.”“I can’t. Is my baby okay?”“Lady Laura.” His calm voice cut through my panic. “Your baby is okay.”Everything inside me went still then the tears came. A sob escaped before I could stop it.“Thank the Moon Goddess…” I covered my face as relief swept through me. “My baby…My baby is alive.”The healer allowed me a few moments before continuing. “There is something else you need to know, the fall placed considerable stre
Tricia's POVFor a moment, I forgot how to breathe.This had to be some kind of twisted prank.My lips parted, ready to say something, anything, but before I could form a word, the room erupted into loud cheers."The Alpha has spoken!""She's perfect for him!""Now that's a true Alpha pair!"I stoo
Tricia's POV "Where's that fat fool who calls herself the Luna of the pack?” My mother-in-law's voice cut through the pack house hallway like it was meant for everyone inside.I froze mid-step as heat rushed up my neck, my fingers tightening at my sides while I slowly turned.She stood at the end
Tricia / Seraphina’s POVI stared at him, waiting for him to laugh or to say it was a joke but Caspian didn’t instead he sat beside me waiting for my reply. “Are you insane?” The words ripped out of me, sharp and loud in the quiet hospital room.“Marriage? You want to marry me?,”“Yes,” he said si
CHAPTER 5Tricia's POVThe nurse looked genuinely scared and said this was a case of amnesia, but she didn't know why I was claiming another identity.She hurried off, saying she wanted to call the doctor.She added that the one who saved me had been among the guests at my husband's pack gathering
