The Alpha's Breeding Pet Chapter 23
ARIA'S POVThe contractions were seven minutes apart.Mira had been timing them since we reached the farmhouse, her expression doing the thing where it stayed very calm on the surface and said everything underneath."Talk to me," I said through the tail end of one."You're progressing. Faster than normal for a first labor." She adjusted the blanket beneath me. "The baby is positioned well. That's good.""What's not good?"She hesitated."Mira.""We're six weeks early. Their lungs may not be fully developed." She kept her voice even. "It may not matter. Some early babies come out screaming and perfect. But I want you prepared."I pressed my hand flat against my stomach. The baby was very active now, moving in a way that felt purposeful rather than random. Like they were arranging themselves. Getting ready."They're strong," I said. "You've said so yourself.""I know. And I meant it."Renn appeared in the doorway. She'd been watching the road since we arrived, moving between the window

CAELAN'S POVThe healer's name was Petra.She was sixty if she was a day, small and sharp-eyed, and she stitched my wound like she was mending a torn shirt. No ceremony. No sympathy."You've reopened this twice already," she said, pulling the thread through. "Do it again and no amount of stitching saves you.""Noted.""I mean it. One more rupture and you bleed internally. Die in a forest somewhere. Very undignified for an Alpha.""Former Alpha."She glanced up at that. Just briefly. Then went back to her work. "I heard. Council stripped your title this morning. Official announcement went out at dawn."Something cold settled in my chest. Not surprise. Just the weight of it becoming real."Damon," I called.He appeared in the doorway. "I know. I was going to tell you.""When?""After you stopped bleeding." He leaned against the frame, arms crossed. "It changes nothing about the plan.""It changes everything about the plan. A rogue Alpha crossing Council territory is a target. A former A

ARIA'S POV Callow market smelled like livestock and smoke. We'd arrived before the morning rush, hoods up, moving close to the stalls where the crowd was thickest. Renn had been right about one thing — the noise helped. Hard to track a scent in a place where everything smelled like something else. "Don't stop walking," Renn said quietly, just ahead of me. "Even if you see something that worries you. Keep moving." "I know how to not look suspicious." "You're a very pregnant woman in a hood walking through a market at dawn. You're already suspicious. Just don't make it worse." Mira pressed close on my left side, her bag over her shoulder, eyes moving constantly. She'd been quiet since we left the safe house. The kind of quiet that meant she was thinking hard about something she hadn't decided to say yet. The baby was quiet too. That bothered me more than anything. After the candles, after whatever that ripple had been, they'd settled into a stillness that felt different from sl

CAELAN'S POVThe cell was the same as every other night.Cold stone. Distant footsteps. The smell of damp and iron that had soaked into everything after weeks of captivity.Except tonight, something was different.I felt it before I understood it. A pull in my chest. Faint but insistent, like a thread being tugged from far away. The kind of feeling wolves described when their mate was in danger.Or when their mate was gone.I was at the cell bars before I'd fully processed the thought. "Guard."The wolf posted outside my cell didn't look up from whatever he was reading. "Quiet.""I need to speak with someone. Damon. Or Darius. Anyone from my pack.""No visitors after dark.""Then get me Magnus."That made him look up. "You want Magnus.""I want to know where my mate is. And I want to know now."He studied me for a moment, then went back to his reading. "She's in her quarters. Same as always."He believed that. I could tell from his voice, the ease of it, the boredom. He hadn't been to
The Alpha's Breeding Pet Chapter 19
ARIA'S POVThe safe house was a single room above a grain store.Low ceiling, one window, a cot that sagged in the middle and smelled like old wool. Mira had already checked the perimeter twice. I'd already checked the door latch three times.Neither of us said what we were both thinking.That it had been too easy."Sit down," Mira said, setting her bag on the only table. "Let me check you over. The crate ride wasn't exactly gentle.""I'm fine.""You're six weeks from your due date and you just folded yourself into a wooden box. Sit down."I sat. The baby shifted immediately, rolling in a way that felt less like movement and more like protest. Like they were rearranging themselves after being cramped."Sorry," I murmured, pressing a hand to my side where their foot was lodged against my ribs. "Almost there. Just a little longer.""Talking to them again?" Mira didn't look up from her bag."Is that strange?""No. It's good. Keep doing it." She pulled out her instruments. "They respond t

**ARIA'S POV** The bracelet slipped from my fingers and hit the floor with a sharp clink that echoed through the silent room. Oh no. I didn't know what to do. I decided to just pick it up. My fingers shook as I was about bending down to pick it up. But before I could get it, Caelan reached

**ARIA'S POV** Evening fell over the fortress quickly, shadows stretching long across my small room. I sat on the edge of the bed, arms wrapped around myself, shivering as a cold wind crept into the room, even though the windows were tightly shut. My thoughts drifted to the way Caelan dragg

**ARIA'S POV** My heart pounded beneath my ribs. Did they know I was there? Listening to what didn't concern me? The footsteps sounded almost like they were coming from his room. My heart jumped. I quickly started walking, trying to remember where my cage was. The cage I tried so much to

**ARIA'S POV** I woke before dawn to find Caelan asleep beside me. His presence was heavy even in silence, his breathing steady and deep. One arm lay across his stomach, the other stretched out toward the edge of the bed. He looked less threatening like this, almost human, but the sight of him s
