The storm arrived before dawn.

Thunder rolled across the mountains surrounding the Alpha King’s territory, shaking the windows of the pack house as heavy rain began to fall.

Aira had barely slept.

The conversation with Kael the night before kept replaying in her mind.

A prophecy.

Two Alpha bloodlines.

And a father whose identity remained hidden in the shadows.

She sat on the edge of her bed, one hand resting on her stomach.

The child stirred gently, a soft movement that always filled her with a

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Four: The First Breath

    The moment Aira’s fingers touched her stomach, the baby opened its eyes.The house seemed to stop breathing.Kael made a rough sound in his throat and jerked in her arms as the blackness at the edge of his eye surged hard enough to nearly swallow him whole, but Aira would not let go. She slammed both hands over his chest and shoved herself deeper into the bond, pouring warmth, memory, and fierce stubborn love through the space between them until it burned. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at her face.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby inside her answered with a bright pulse that rolled through the bond like fire finding dry wood, and for one precious heartbeat she felt him hear her. Really hear her. The blackness in his eye did not vanish, but it hesitated, trapped by the force of her will.Below them, her mother lifted her head slowly, and the root gat

    Give me the child.Her mother said it from beneath the floor with tears on her face and the root gate wearing her skin like a veil, and Aira felt the words strike straight through her chest. Kael jolted in her arms as the blackness at the edge of his eye surged hard again, but she would not let it take him. She locked both hands over his chest and shoved herself deeper into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every fierce moment when he had held her through fear, every promise he had made in blood and heat and love. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at her face.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled.

    Too late.Her mother rose from the broken floor with the root gate wearing her face like a second skin, and Aira felt the whole world lurch under her feet. Kael made a sound that tore through her chest because the blackness at the edge of his eye surged hard again, hungry for the sight of the woman who had raised her, the woman who had loved him enough to stand beside her through every wound and still ended up here. Aira did not let him fall. She locked both hands over his chest and shoved herself deeper into the bond, pouring warmth, memory, and stubborn love into the space between them until it burned. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at her face.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled.

    Aira kept one hand locked over Kael’s chest and the other pressed hard against the bond between them as the thing below the floor rose with her face twisted over Kael’s father’s body. The sight of it made her stomach turn cold, but she did not let fear swallow Kael this time. She forced herself deeper into the bond until it burned, until she could feel the rough edge of his breathing, the strain in his bones, the fight in his blood. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at it.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby inside her answered with a bright pulse that rolled through the bond like fire finding dry wood, and for one precious heartbeat she felt him hear her. The blackness at the edge of his eye did not leave, but it hesitated, trapped by the warmth she was forcing through the crack it had found.The thing beneath the floor lifted itself higher, and for one s

    The moment the root gate opened its eyes, Aira felt Kael nearly go under in her arms.The blackness at the edge of his eye surged hard and fast, and for one terrible heartbeat she thought he would be lost to it again. She did not let him fall. She slammed both hands over his chest and shoved herself deeper into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of his hands on her skin, every promise he had made in blood and heat and desperate love. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at it.” His breath came out ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby inside her answered with a bright pulse that rolled through the bond like fire finding dry wood, and for one precious heartbeat she felt the man beneath the darkness answer her. Not whole. Not safe. But enough. Enough to keep fighting.Below them, the thing rising from the broken floor smiled with Kael’s mouth and her mother’s eye

    Her mother’s finger stayed pointed at Aira’s belly, and for one terrible heartbeat the whole house seemed to go silent around it.Aira stared down at the hand, then at her mother’s face beneath the floor, and the fear in her chest turned cold and sharp. The baby inside her moved once, slow and deliberate, and the motion felt less like a child turning than a door opening by a fraction. Kael shuddered in her arms at the same time, the blackness at the edge of his eye surging again as the thing with his face below the floor smiled with perfect, hungry patience. Aira did not let him go. She locked both hands over his chest and shoved herself deeper into the bond, forcing warmth through the space between them until it burned. “Kael,” she whispered, her forehead pressed to his, voice shaking but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at it.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby inside her answered with a

    The amphitheater breathed.That was the only way Aira could describe it—the slow rise and fall of sound as hundreds of wolves shifted, inhaled, waited. Stone tiers curved upward like ribs around a living heart, and she stood at its center, exposed beneath the open sky.Beside her, Kael was still.N

    The mountain did not sleep that night.Neither did Aira.She lay awake on the furs, one hand resting over the slow, steady rise of her belly, the other curled tight against her chest as if holding herself together. The child moved often—small, insistent reminders of life continuing despite tension,

    The fallout did not come loudly.That was the most dangerous part.For three days after the council meeting, the mountain moved with unnatural calm. No summons. No warnings. No public punishments disguised as tradition. Guards stood where they always had. Elders kept to their chambers. Even Varrek

    The first thing Aira noticed was the change in sound.The mountain had always spoken—through the low groan of stone, the distant rush of wind through tunnels, the soft echo of pawsteps on polished floors. But this was different.This was attention.She felt it as she walked the eastern corridor und
