THE ALPHA’S FIRST FALL 2 53
Wiping the heavy greasepaint from my cheeks with a damp cloth, I kept my face lowered toward the basin. The moment I lifted my eyes, his looming, broad-shouldered reflection appeared right behind me in the vanity glass.Andrew stood in the doorway of our master bedchamber, his sculpted features frozen in a cold, deadly sneer.I knew he was furious, but my own anger burned just as hot. I ignored him, leaning closer to the mirror to scrub the stubborn black line from my upper lid. Before I could finish, his large, calloused hand clamped over my shoulder, spinning me around in the velvet chair. His thick fingers pinched my jaw in a brutal grip, tilting my head back until I was forced to stare up into his glowing, amber wolf-eyes."You despise every piece of high-pack jewelry I buy for you, Lanka," he growled, his voice deep and vibrating with possessive rage. "Yet you carry that weakling’s crushed flowers like they are sacred, and keep his silk cloth tucked against your heart?"The shado

"Five principal dancers in the troupe, and Master Julian brings only one bouquet of shadow-lilies?"The teasing roar from the fellow male Omegas backstage echoed through the stone hall. My face flushed hot under the heavy greasepaint, my pregnant belly tightening in quick panic. Thank the Moon Goddess, no one was truly bitter—they were just giving me a hard time. When Julian pulled five heavy velvet pouches filled with gold pack-sovereigns from his tailored coat, the other dancers swarmed him like hungry wolves, snatching their pay in a flash."Master Julian is plenty generous! Let Lanka keep the rare flowers—we'll take the gold!"As the crowd scattered, I clutched the ice-cool stems of the shadow-lilies to my chest, my skin glistening with sweat from the grueling two-hour performance."I did not disgrace the troupe, did I, Master Julian?" I asked, looking up into his calm, striking eyes.Julian offered a faint, approving smile, his eyes warm. "You were flawless, Lanka. The live scryi

"Your cologne is far too heavy, Elaine," I said, turning my head with a cold, mocking smile as the heavy iron-reinforced carriage rolled down the dark cobblestone paths of Zion City. "My wolf has been extremely sensitive to artificial scents since I conceived the Alpha's pup. It makes my stomach turn."Elaine’s fake, gentle smile froze instantly. His delicate hand twitched, instinctively flying to touch his pale throat.Because he was older than me and his body had been shattered by the rogue beatings at the border, the years had stripped away his youthful glow. Without thick, scented powders and heavy oils, the dullness of his ruined skin showed through. Seeing my completely bare, radiant face under the dim carriage light—unblemished, flush with the health of a rising Alpha's bloodline—a dark shadow of pure envy flickered across his eyes.He quickly recovered, managing an awkward, pitiful expression as he looked past me to Andrew for support."Turn on the internal air-cleansing runes

"Step inside, Lanka," Julian said, stepping back from the open doorway and gesturing toward the plush velvet sofa in his private office.I swallowed down the lump of anxiety in my throat, watching his tall, commanding frame move across the room with a predator's quiet grace. My heart hammered against my ribs, each thud echoing the terrifying reality of what I was about to do. I followed him into the warm, scent-heavy room, my hands trembling as I pressed them flat against my sides."Take a seat," Julian offered, gesturing to the seating area before striding toward his heavy oak desk. He reached for the crystal communicator mounted on the wall and pressed the line through to his personal attendant. "Bring a flagon of warmed sweet milk and honey."My head snapped up, my pulse spiking into a panic. I waved my hands frantically, my voice tight. "No, please, Master Julian, do not bother! I am only here to say a few quick words."I was terrified that the moment the words left my mouth, he w

"When Elaine was suffering from that dark blood fever years ago, his mind shattered," Andrew said, his low voice echoing against the cold stone walls of the private ward. "He lost his connection to the pack link. He was walking in a dense spiritual fog, completely detached from his true bloodline."I stood near the heavy oak door, my hand resting protectively over my abdomen where my unborn pup stirred slightly. I kept my expression an unreadable mask, forcing my wolf to stay silent despite the violent churning in my stomach."His memories only returned in fractured pieces," Andrew continued, taking a slow step toward me. "Last winter, Elaine attempted to break free from the rogue territory, but the boundary guards captured him. They beat him until his ribs were crushed. The physical toll on his omega vessel was severe, Lanka. The pack healers issued a formal decree last month—his reproductive mark is completely destroyed. He will never be able to bear an Alpha’s heir."Listening to h

"Lanka is still young, and he has always been your father's favorite. It is completely natural for a young male omega to have a bit of a fiery temper." Elaine’s soft, fragile voice drifted through the courtyard, dripping with sweet understanding. "I am completely fine, Andrew. You really should go after your mate—especially since he is carrying your Alpha heir. We cannot risk anything happening to the child in his agitated state. It has been ages since I caught up with your mother anyway, so we can sit and chat right here."Andrew gave a stiff nod and immediately turned on his heel, striding briskly out of the stone courtyard in pursuit of me."I swear, I do not know what kind of dark spell that wild little beast has cast over my son!" Maren fumed loudly, her face flushed with annoyance.Stella—now fully recognized in the pack lands as Lord Elaine Brooks—watched Andrew’s tall figure vanish past the archway, his pale blue eyes narrowing into a cold, unreadable gaze.I stormed out of th
