Theodora's POV

Cold. That was the first thing I registered when consciousness returned. Cold seeping into my bones from the concrete floor beneath me. My head throbbed and my mouth tasted like copper and dirt.

I forced my eyes open and immediately wished I had not. The cell was small and windowless, lit by a single flickering bulb that cast sickly yellow light over gray walls. The air smelled damp and rotten, like something had died down here and never been removed.

I tried to move and gasped a

    Nate's POVDora was in agony, her body wracked with contractions that came too fast and too intense. But somehow, through all that pain, she found the strength to speak."Wait," she gasped, her hand reaching out toward the scattered Twilight beings. "Please wait.""Theodora, focus on the birth," Helios commanded. "We do not have time for negotiations.""We have to make time." Her voice was strained but determined. Another contraction hit and she cried out, her nails digging into my hand hard enough to draw blood. When it passed, she continued. "I understand their fear. Change feels like death when you have existed one way for eternity."The Twilight beings hovered uncertainly, their countless voices silent for the first time since manifesting. They were listening."My daughter," Dora panted, sweat pouring down her face, "will not erase you. She will include you in the balance. I swear it.""You cannot promise that," Helios said sharply. "You do not know what the child's nature will de

    Theodora's POVThe Twilight moved with terrifying speed, its form shifting and flowing like smoke. One moment it was across the room, the next it was lunging directly at me. I felt its intent like ice against my skin. It wanted my baby.Helios stepped between us, golden light exploding from his hands. "You will not touch her," he commanded, his voice resonating with divine authority.The Twilight collided with his solar energy and the impact shook the entire house. Furniture flew. Windows shattered. The force of opposing energies meeting sent everyone stumbling backward.Selene joined the fight immediately, her lunar power weaving through the air like silver ribbons. She and Helios worked to contain the Twilight, but it was strong. Stronger than either of them had anticipated.Nate shifted into his wolf form with a snarl that made my bones vibrate. He positioned himself directly in front of me, teeth bared, every muscle coiled and ready. My mate, my protector, is willing to face down

    Nate's POVI stared at Helios like he had just sprouted a second head. "What do you mean by your daughter? This is my child. Mine and Dora's."Helios had the audacity to look amused. "Biologically, yes, she is yours. But cosmically, divinely, she carries the essence of both the Moon Mother and the Sun Father. That makes her as much mine as yours, wolf."My wolf snarled inside my chest, furious at the implication. Dora's hand found mine and squeezed hard, either calming me or needing comfort herself. Probably both."Explain," Dora said, her voice remarkably steady. "From the beginning. How is our baby connected to divine beings?"Helios gestured toward our living room. "May I come in? This conversation is better had sitting down."I wanted to refuse, wanted to throw him off our property, and never let him near my family. But the tru

  • Ruined by my Bully Stepbrother   CHAPTER 177

    Theodora's POVI woke from another nightmare drenched in cold sweat. The same vision Aurora kept having, the figure shrouded in light and darkness reaching for my unborn baby. Claiming her as its own by cosmic right."Breathe," Nate murmured beside me. He pulled me against his chest and stroked my hair. "Just breathe, baby. It was just a dream.""It was not just a dream." My voice shook. "It was a warning. Something out there wants our daughter, Nate. Something powerful enough to exist between light and dark.""Then we make damn sure it cannot have her." His arms tightened around me protectively. "We have been through worse and survived. We will get through this too."I wanted to believe him. But this felt different from every other threat we had faced. This was not human extremists or political enemies. This was something cosmic, something beyond our understanding.

  • Ruined by my Bully Stepbrother   CHAPTER 176

    Nate's POVThe news of Dora's pregnancy spread through the supernatural community like wildfire. Within days, seers from across the country were reaching out to confirm what Aurora had seen. Every single one of them told the same story with slight variations.A child of both moon and sun. A being of perfect balance. A baby who would fundamentally change the world.Marcus called an emergency Council meeting to discuss the implications. I sat beside Dora at the long conference table, my hand resting protectively on her still-flat stomach. The Council members looked at us with expressions ranging from awe to concern to outright fear."This has never happened in recorded history," one of the older Council members said. "Silver Wolves are creatures of the moon exclusively. We cannot carry solar energy without it destroying us. How is this even possible?""T

  • Ruined by my Bully Stepbrother   CHAPTER 175

    Theodora's POVNate stared at me as I had just spoken in a language he did not understand. "You want another baby?""Yes." I kept my gaze steady on his, needing him to see how serious I was. "I know it sounds crazy. We already have three children and our lives are barely stable. But I want to give you something good, Nate. Something joyful to balance what you sacrificed."He was quiet for a long moment, his hand absently stroking my bare hip. Finally, he spoke. "You do not owe me anything, Dora. I did not sacrifice those years expecting repayment.""I know that." I cupped his face, feeling the unfamiliar lines beneath my fingers. "But I want this. Not out of guilt or obligation. I want another baby because I love you and I love our family. I want to fill our home with more life, more love, more chaos."A slow smile spread across his face, transforming
