Second Life, Different Bed

"Miss! Wake up! Alpha Damien is going feral!"Maria's frantic screams ripped through the night.My eyes snapped open. I gasped for air, a cold sweat drenching my back.The phantom agony of my bones splintering… The feel of warm blood on my face… It was still there, seared into my nerves.My two little pups. Their screams echoed in my head. I could still see their father—my mate—tearing them apart right in front of me.Maria’s voice yanked me back. It felt like a lifetime ago.After I mated with Damien in my last life, Maria was fired. I never saw her again."Miss, are you listening?" Maria's voice grew more urgent. "There was something wrong with Alpha Damien's drink tonight. He needs—"I flinched, my body recoiling. Then I looked into Maria’s desperate eyes."Maria, go get Isabella.""What?" Maria froze, her face a mask of confusion."Tell her the man she loves, Damien, has been drugged with a Heat Potion," my voice was ice cold. "Tell her only a true love's touch can save him. Go now

Caspian had flown to the Southern packs at dawn to handle pack business.Before he left, his breathing still ragged, he whispered a promise in my ear. "I'll be back soon. And when I return, I'll make it official."I didn't ask what he meant.As long as he knew I was carrying his pup, he would make me his Queen.But the days he was gone were hell.My conversation with Isabella had been overheard.The pack members all thought I’d seduced a common guard.Meanwhile, Damien publicly announced at a pack meeting that Isabella was his one and only future Luna. He demanded everyone treat her with the same respect they showed him."Did you hear? Our oh-so-proper ceremony planner has lost her mind."The whispers in the dining hall were like poisoned darts."Hooking up with a guard? She has no shame.""Master Damien doesn't want her anymore. She has to settle for some nobody to get her fix."No one saw me go into the King's suite, so they gossiped freely.Damien heard them. His face turned grim, b

The pressure was like a mountain crashing down. Every single person in the room was forced to their knees.Except me.A silver blur shot across the room. Before Damien could react, a fist slammed into his chest.CRACK!Damien flew backward like a broken doll, smashing into a marble pillar meters away.The entire pillar shattered, sending debris flying.He collapsed in the rubble, coughing up blood.Caspian stood before me, radiating the terrifying aura of a pureblood king.He turned and knelt, his silver eyes filled with pain and regret as he gently pulled me into his arms."I'm late," his voice was thick with self-blame.I leaned against his chest, only now realizing I was trembling.Blood was still flowing from my cheek, but I felt safer than I ever had in my life."Get the pack's head physician here! Now!" Caspian's voice was like thunder.The butler scrambled out of the room.Just then, Isabella's weak sobbing started up again."Your Majesty…" Isabella cried out weakly. "I'm alrigh

A month later, on a full moon night, Caspian set up a romantic dinner for me in the manor's rose garden.Silver candelabras gleamed, and champagne glowed gold in the moonlight."You look especially beautiful tonight," he said, pulling out my chair.I wore a white silk gown. My stomach was still flat, but I knew a powerful new life was growing inside."I have a surprise for you," I said, pulling a folded paper from my purse.Caspian took it, a curious look on his face. He unfolded it.It was an ultrasound image. Black and white, but it clearly showed two tiny hearts, beating strong."Is this..." his voice trembled."Our pups," I said, watching the shock on his face. "Twins."The paper slipped from his hand, fluttering onto the rose petals.The next second, he pulled me from my chair and into a fierce hug."Really? Are you sure?" He could barely believe it."The physician confirmed it. They're four weeks along," I said, leaning against his chest, feeling his heart hammer."Oh my goddess.

Nine months later, I lay in the manor's birthing suite, my hand locked in Caspian's."Deep breaths, my Queen! The pup is coming!" Dr. Morgan shouted.With a deafening cry, a powerful Alpha aura flooded the room—the sign of a new Wolf King's birth!"A strong boy!" the nurse held up the tiny baby. "A future Alpha King!"Ten minutes later, our daughter was born with a clear, bright cry.She opened her sharp, silver eyes the moment she was born, her tiny fists clenched, already radiating the presence of an ancient warrior queen."A prince and a princess!" Caspian dropped to one knee by the bed, kissing my sweaty hand. "My prince and princess. Thank you, my Queen."The celebration lasted for three full days and nights.Pack leaders from every continent came to pay their respects, and rare treasures piled up in the main square."A reward for my Queen," Caspian said, presenting me with a sheepskin scroll. "The deed to Pearl Island in the Azure Sea. It's spring there all year round.""You can
