LOGINShe was brought in as a maid. She left as a ghost. Lara was seven years old when she adopted to the Wildfang wolf clan with nothing — no family and no wolf. Until the Alpha's son sat beside her one day and said, "I will protect you." She believed him and that was her first mistake. Years later, the wolf shaman declared Lara was Lucien's destined mate. His Luna, which was chosen by the moon goddess herself and so they got married. But Lucien never believed it was real. To him, Lara was a former maid with no wolf and no status who had used a prophecy as a ladder to climb above her place. So he kept her close enough to call her Luna and far enough away to make sure she felt every inch of that distance in a cold and dismissive manner. When Lara discovers she is pregnant, she thinks for just one moment that maybe this changes things. Until she overhears Lucien ordering the doctor to terminate it. She didn't scream, rather she made an impromptu decision. So, she left. What neither of them knows yet is that Lara was never an orphan and not a nobody they all agreed she was. She is the long-lost daughter of Alpha Darius Rowan — the most powerful Alpha of the Moon Shade wolf clan, who has been searching for her for over twenty years. The woman who walked out of Wildfang with nothing walks back into a legacy that was always hers. And six years from now, when the Alpha conclave brings them face to face again, Lucien will be standing across the room preparing a gift for the mysterious new female Alpha everyone is talking about. He has no idea who she is.
View MoreLara's POVI swiped the screen open fully.And there it was.A photo of Alpha Lucien lying across Raina's body with his eyes closed and completely at ease — the kind of relaxed that only comes when a person feels truly safe where they are. And Raina was looking directly into the camera, front-facing, and that angle was too deliberate to be accidental. She had taken that picture herself as she must have arranged herself underneath him, waited for exactly the right moment, and captured it on purpose.Then she sent it to me…I wouldn't know if all of these actually happened today, who knows?Or maybe she only decided to share this with me today just to get on me or something.But then, the message that followed the image was there in plain text.'Hey loser. Alpha Lucien doesn't care about you. I am the only one he loves.'I stared at the screen for a long moment without moving. Not because I was shocked though — I wasn't feeling that way anymore. But because something about seeing it writ
Lara's POVBy the time the nurse was satisfied that I was steady enough to be left alone, I had pulled myself together enough to look like a functioning person. Breathing was even and my hands had stopped shaking. The face in the small mirror above the sink looked tired but held together.That was good enough.I thanked her, waited until she had gone back to whatever round she had been doing before I derailed it, and then sat there for another minute in the quiet of that room.You know, I only felt tense seeing that sight — Lucien crouched beside Raina in that corridor, smiling at her like I was something he had already mentally moved out of — and that was why I needed to leave the space at that moment. My body just reacted before my pride could object. But the tense had passed now, and with it the dizziness, and I was not going to let one moment in a corridor undo the one genuinely good thing that had happened to me today.I had a baby. I had a whole life growing inside me.Raina cou
Lara's POVI moved out to the corridors, and guess what?Alpha Lucien was right there, placing a lady into a wheelchair that one of the nurses had just wheeled over — on his instruction, obviously, since that was what all the urgency had been about… The emergency. The ‘quick, I need a doctor.’ That was what had sent me flying out of Dr. Asher's office like something was on fire.I mean this."Doctor," he said to one of the physicians standing nearby, his voice back to its usual composed authority now that the drama had settled. "Take a look at her leg. It's flaring up."I was still far enough down the corridor that he hadn't spotted me yet. Standing just close enough to see every detail and just far enough that I could still pretend, for another few seconds, that I had the option of turning around.But then, I didn't turn around.I would have thought he was simply helping out a stranger if I didn't know better. More like a good deed and maybe an Alpha doing the right thing because tha
Lara's POVI didn't waste a single second after that call.I threw on the first decent outfit I could find, grabbed my bag, and was out the door before the thought of breakfast even crossed my mind. Whatever was in that hospital report wasn't something I was going to sit at home and stare at the ceiling over. I needed to hear it properly. From Dr. Asher's mouth, in his office, with the actual paperwork in my hands. That was the only way any of it was going to feel real to me.So that was exactly where I went.The hospital corridors were already busy by the time I arrived — the usual morning movement of clan members coming and going, nurses cutting from one wing to the next with their arms full. I kept my head down and walked straight to Dr. Asher's office, knocked once, and let myself in when he called out.I sat down across from his desk. Folded my hands in my lap as I tried to look like a woman who had everything under control. If Dr. Asher believed it, he was being very polite abou
