Anna's POV

Martha bowed. A deep, respectful bow that made every other person in the kitchen do the same.

"You have good kitchen skills, Luna," one of the cooks said admirably.

"I worked in a diner for two years. If you cannot chop fast, you do not survive."

"A diner?" Another cook looked up with surprise. "You really worked in a diner? But you are an Alpha's daughter."

"My father did not believe in paying for my education. So I paid for it myself. Waitressing. Dishwashing. Whatever job I could

  • The Alpha Only I Can See    Chapter 97

    Annastasia povThe evening had settled into a quiet calm. The laughter from dinner still echoed in my ears. Marcus, Felix and Dorian had returned to their rooms. Grayson had disappeared with a dry comment about needing to escape the “sentimental nonsense.” Hector had told me to wait for him in our room, that he had something to give me.Something to give me.My heart fluttered with anticipation. What could it be? A gift? A surprise? I had no idea. But the way he had looked at me when he said it made my stomach tighten with nervous excitement.Lena helped me bathe. The warm water soothed my tired muscles. I leaned back in the tub and closed my eyes, letting the scent of lavender and honey wrap around me like a blanket. For a few precious moments, I forgot about the banquet. About Valeria. About the impossible choice I had made.“Are you all right, my Luna?” Lena asked softly from beside the tub. “You seem very quiet tonight.”I looked at my reflection. The woman staring back at me was

    Annastasia pov Evening had fallen by the time I returned to the pack house.The sky was a deep shade of purple, and the first stars were beginning to appear. The pack house was buzzing with activity. Servants hurried back and forth, carrying flowers and ribbons and golden ornaments. The banquet was only two days away, and everyone was already preparing for it.I stood at the entrance for a moment, watching the chaos. It was strange. Two days from now, this place would be filled with Alphas and Lunas and elders. They would celebrate the cure. They would celebrate me. And I would be gone. Slipping away into the night like a ghost.I cannot think about that now. Not tonight. Tonight, I just want to be here. To be present. To be with the people I love.Lena appeared at my side, her face bright with excitement. “My Luna! You are back! I have been looking everywhere for you.” She curtsied quickly. “How was the hospital? Is Dr. Kassian doing well?”“He is recovering. He should be discharged

    Annastasia pov I stepped out of the hospital and into the afternoon sun. The air was warm and carried the scent of blooming flowers from the nearby gardens. People passed me on the street, their faces bright and cheerful. Some recognized me and waved. I waved back, my smile as hollow as my heart.The conversation with Kassian replayed in my mind. His words echoed like a warning I could not escape.You deserve happiness, Anastasia. You deserve love. And you deserve to raise your child with the father by your side. Do not throw that away.But what could I do? My mother was alive. After all these years of mourning her, of missing her, of wishing I could hear her voice one more time, I had a chance to find her. How could I walk away from that? How could I choose anything else?My phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out and looked at the screen.A text from Valeria.I am across the street. The restaurant with the red awning. Come now. We need to talk.I looked up. Across the road, nest

    Annastasia pov The morning came softly.I woke before the sun, lying in Hector’s arms, listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing. He was still asleep, his face peaceful and relaxed. I traced the lines of his jaw with my eyes, memorizing every detail. The curve of his lips. The sweep of his lashes. The small scar above his eyebrow that I had never noticed before.Two days. I only have two days left.The thought was a knife in my chest. I slipped out of bed carefully, trying not to wake him. He stirred but did not open his eyes. I dressed quietly in a simple gown and wrapped a shawl around my shoulders. Then I left the room, closing the door softly behind me.The pack house was already stirring. Servants moved through the hallways, preparing for the day. They bowed as I passed, their faces bright with admiration. Word of the cure had spread like wildfire. Everywhere I went, people whispered my name like a prayer.“The Luna. She saved the children.”“She is a miracle worker.”“The

    Annastasia pov Goddess, this man will be the death of me. Hector’s hand found my sensitive core. He rubbed it in tight, fast circles. The dual sensation was too much. The feeling of him inside me. The pressure of his fingers. The sound of his voice growling my name.I shattered.My vision went white. My body convulsed. I screamed his name as wave after wave of pleasure crashed over me. My inner walls clenched around him, pulsing, milking, pulling him deeper.He groaned. His body shuddered. I felt him pulse inside me, felt the heat of his release flooding my core. He collapsed on top of me, his breath ragged, his heart pounding against my chest.For a long moment, neither of us moved. We just lay there, tangled together, our bodies still joined. The sweat cooling on our skin. The moonlight spilling across the bed.Then he lifted his head and looked at me. His eyes were soft now. Sated. Full of something that looked almost like wonder.“I love you,” he whispered. “I love you so much,

    Annastasia pov Hector took me away from the ward, with Ethan following us behind. Just then, Dr. Alden rushed towards us and approached me. He bowed to Hector before face. His eyes were full of something I had never seen before. Respect. Gratitude. Awe.“Luna Anastasia,” he said quietly. “You saved them. You saved them all.”I looked at the children. The children who had been dying only an hour ago. They were sleeping peacefully now. Their wolves were awakening. Their futures were restored.“I did what needed to be done,” I said.“You did more than that. You performed a miracle.”I shook my head. “It was not a miracle. It was science. And a lot of stubbornness.”Dr. Alden smiled. It was a tired smile, but genuine. “Then I am grateful for your stubbornness.”The door to the ward opened. This time it was Dr. Marchetti. She stood in the doorway. Her face was pale. Her eyes were wide with shock.“You did it,” she whispered. “You actually did it.”I walked toward her. “I told you I coul

    ANASTASIAThe sharp, blinding ache behind my eyelids was the first thing that pulled me from the dark.I gasped, my eyes flying open, but the world was a distorted, dizzying blur of sterile white walls and harsh overhead fluorescent lights. The heavy scent of antiseptic and pack medicine burned my

    HECTORThe rain was drumming a relentless, irritating beat against the bulletproof windows of the SUV."I still don't get it, Alpha," my Beta, Ethan, muttered from the passenger seat, staring out into the dark pines bordering the Red River territory. "Why are we wasting our time going to a minor pa

    ANASTASIA.The entire room fell into a suffocating, dead silence. The music seemed to fade into a dull hum as hundreds of eyes turned to focus entirely on us. Out on the floor, Bella and Andrei actually stumbled, nearly losing their balance mid-step as they stared at Hector standing in my shadowed

    ANASTASIA. The pack mansion has been awake since before dawn. Loud footsteps echoed through the halls, dishes clattering, servants rushing in every direction, voices overlapping like a storm that refused to settle. I groaned softly and pulled my blanket over my head.Today was Bella’s twentieth bi
