●★DARIUS●★That evening, Emmeline and I were sitting by the fire in our chambers. She was reading, her expression soft in the firelight. I was ostensibly going over some pack reports, but my eyes kept drifting to her. To the slight curve of her belly, a curve that was growing every day.She closed her book and looked at me, a small frown on her face. “Darius? Is everything alright?”I forced a smile, trying to keep it light. “Yeah, sweetheart. Everything’s fine. Just… thinking.”“You’re restless,” she said, her voice quiet but firm. She knows me too well. “More than usual. And the guards… there are more tonight. And they look tense.”Damn it. Busted.I put the reports down, walked over to her, and knelt beside her chair. I took her hand, rubbing my thumb over her knuckles. Her skin was warm, soft. It grounded me, just holding her.“Just being cautious,” I said, choosing my words carefully. “Been some… whispers. Nothing concrete. Just want to make sure you’re safe.”I didn’t mention th

●★DARIUS●★My gut twisted the moment I saw the note. Just a few words, scrawled on a scrap of parchment left right outside Emmeline’s door. It was simple but chilling, and it hit me like a physical blow. Who the hell? Who would leave something like this? And how did they get so close?I shoved the note into my pocket, trying to keep my face neutral. Can’t let anyone see this yet. Not the guards outside her door, not anyone. First priority: tighten security. Now.I found the captain of the guard detail and pulled him aside, away from the hallway. "Listen up," I said, keeping my voice low but firm. "Effective immediately, I want double rotations around Emmeline's room. Two guards outside the door, always. And I want patrols increased in the corridors leading to her wing. Every hour, on the hour, a full sweep. Anyone not supposed to be here, anyone acting remotely suspicious, you detain them. No questions asked, you bring them to me. Got it?"He nodded, his eyes serious. "Yes, Alpha. Con

●★EMMELINE★●The crackling fireplace usually made the main hall feel cozy, like a warm hug after a long day. But tonight, something was off. The air felt… different. I walked in, my hand instinctively going to my belly, a habit I’d picked up since the little one started making their presence known.Darius was there, huddled with a group of Alphas I didn’t recognize. Three of them, all men, their faces serious as they listened to whatever Darius was saying in that low, rumbling voice of his. They were seated in a semicircle, the firelight dancing across their features, making them look like ancient kings holding court. As soon as my shadow fell across the entrance, their heads snapped up. Years of ingrained pack etiquette had them on their feet in an instant, a show of respect that still felt a little weird, even after all this time.One of them, older, with a beard streaked with silver that made him look distinguished, stepped forward. His eyes, though, they weren’t unkind, just… sear

★▪︎EMMELINE▪︎★We headed back towards the house. My easy mood was definitely gone now. Visitors. From another pack. Claiming to check on my health but probably really wanting to see the 'hybrid mother’ and the 'unprecedented' baby, and maybe sniff around the estate while they were at it. Great. Just what I needed. More eyes on me. More questions. More feeling like a specimen under a microscope.We found them in the large sitting room. Two women, dressed in fine clothes that looked like they cost more than I used to make in a year, were sitting primly on a sofa, sipping tea. They stood as we entered, their movements smooth and practiced."Luna Emmeline," the taller one said, smiling brightly. Her smile didn't quite reach her eyes. "And Alpha Darius. Thank you for receiving us on such short notice.""Freya, Zoey," Darius said, giving them a polite nod. "Thank you for coming. This is Emmeline.""It's a pleasure to meet you, Luna," the other woman, Zoey, said. She was slightly shorter, wi

★▪︎EMMELINE▪︎★The morning sun felt like a warm blanket as I stepped outside onto the stone path. It had been a while since I just... walked. Really walked, not just dragging my feet around a room or down a hallway. My legs felt a little shaky, like they'd forgotten how to work properly after so much time spent either passed out or confined to bed. Darius was beside me and his presence was solidly comforting. He kept his pace slow, matching mine without making a big deal out of it, which I appreciated. The garden was more beautiful than I remembered, manicured and bursting with color – vibrant roses, neat hedges, little fountains bubbling softly. It was peaceful, almost ridiculously so, after the chaos of the past few weeks. But honestly, I was just happy to breathe the fresh air without feeling like I was about to collapse or be attacked. It felt like a small victory."Feeling better?" Darius asked gently. He glanced down at me, his eyes full of a quiet concern that made my chest ach

★▪︎EMMELINE▪︎★The first thing I noticed was the dull ache in my body, a stark contrast to the searing fire that had consumed me for what felt like an eternity. I was in bed, the sheets cool against my skin. The room was dim, the kind of light that happens just before dawn or late in the evening. I blinked slowly, letting my eyes adjust.Then I saw him. Darius. Asleep beside the bed, slumped over with his head resting near my hand, his fingers still loosely intertwined with mine. He looked exhausted, lines etched around his eyes. I could see faint scratches along his neck, little red marks that hadn't been there before. My heart squeezed. He’d stayed. He’d been here the whole time.I just watched him for a bit, quiet, letting the reality sink in. I wasn't burning anymore. The pain was there, a dull throb in my muscles and bones, but it was manageable. It felt… normal. Like the soreness after a long ride, not the agony of my body trying to consume itself.Slowly, carefully, I pushed my

★DARIUS’ POV★My gut twisted tighter with every second Anastasia worked. She moved fast, thank the goddess, her hands a blur as she crushed herbs, mixing them into some kind of paste, then adding liquid. It felt like an eternity, though. Every rasping breath Emmeline took, every weak tremor that still ran through her tiny body was a hammer blow to my chest. Hurry, damn it. Please, just hurry.Finally, Anastasia held up a small, dark vial. "It's ready," she said, her voice calm but her eyes holding a flicker of urgency that mirrored my own fear.I knelt beside the cot, my heart in my throat. Gently, so damn gently, I lifted Emmeline's head, supporting the fragile weight with my hand. Her skin was still too pale, her lips almost blue. Anastasia carefully brought the vial to her mouth.The first few drops went down, and Emmeline coughed, a weak, pathetic sound that tore right through me. My jaw tightened. Swallow, Em. Please, just swallow. Anastasia waited patiently, then tried again. Th

★EMMELINE’S POV★My head felt like it was stuffed with cotton, heavy and distant. Every breath was a struggle, a shallow, rattling thing that didn't seem to bring enough air. I was floating, drifting somewhere between here and... well, somewhere else. Somewhere quiet and dark. It felt peaceful, in a terrifying sort of way. Like I was letting go."Emmeline? Stay with me. Please."Sylas. His voice. It sounded tight, strained, like he was trying not to break. I wanted to answer, to tell him I was trying, but my tongue felt thick and useless. I managed a small, weak squeeze of the hand he was holding. His grip tightened instantly, almost painfully."She's fading, Sylas," a softer voice said. Anastasia. The healer. I could feel her cool fingers on my wrist, checking my pulse. "The damage... it's spreading faster than I can counter it without the proper herbs."Fading. Yeah, that felt about right. Like a candle sputtering out. The pain was a dull throb now, constant and heavy, but almost se

★DARIUS★Hours. It had been damn hours. My body screamed with every step, every bend, every time I had to push aside a thorny branch that clawed at my already torn clothes and skin. The Crying Woods lived up to its name; the wind seemed to moan through the trees, and the shadows felt heavy, pressing down on me. And for what? Nothing. I hadn't found a damn thing.My eyes scanned the forest floor, blurry with exhaustion and pain. Silver plants, they said. Surrounded by thorny roots. Sounded like something out of a twisted fairytale, and right now, I felt less like a prince on a quest and more like a broken-down mule lost in a maze.I stumbled, catching myself on a tree trunk, the rough bark scraping my cheek. "Son of a bitch," I muttered, leaning my forehead against the cool wood. My lungs burned, my muscles felt like they were tearing, and the dull ache in my ribs was a constant reminder of the fight I'd barely survived. This was insane. I was running on fumes and sheer, unadulterated
