FLASHBACK

Mallory

Seven months later

I clutched my abdomen, swaying as a contraction tore through me. Too soon. The babies weren’t due for another week.

My first instinct was to ignore it, to keep moving, keep smiling. I stood inside the widows’ and elders’ home, handing out gifts, my lips fixed in a practiced smile while pain twisted deep inside me.

“Are you okay, my queen?” a young widow asked, worried.

I squeezed my eyes shut and forced a nod, gesturing that I was fine. I wasn’t. My fingers locked around the banister as another wave slammed into me. I motioned sharply for the royal driver.

“Get me to the hospital. Now.”

By the time we reached the palace, the contractions were relentless.

“You’re in labor,” the palace doctor announced.

An IV slid into my arm, hands moved quickly over me, checking vitals, prepping equipment. Sweat rolled down my temples, dampening my hair. I gripped the side rails, breath ragged, chest rising and falling in shallow bursts.

The pain stabbed throug

    JustinThe room was dark, except for the glow of moonlight spilling through the curtains. Marissa lay curled beside me, her sinful lips parted slightly in her sleep.I couldn’t tear my gaze away from her face. Even in slumber, she exuded beauty, radiance, and peace.My mate.My salvation.The mark on my neck throbbed faintly, a steady reminder of the promise we’d sealed under the moon.And yet, my chest felt tight.The prophecy said that when you found your true mate and marked each other, everything would fall into place. The wolf would be whole. The curse would break.So why was there still this fear inside me?Careful not to wake her, I tucked the blanket up around her shoulders. She murmured something incoherent and snuggled deeper into the covers, making my chest ache. I leaned down and brushed a kiss across her temple.Then I slipped out of bed and padded quietly toward the door, holding my breath with every creak of the floorboards.The clearing where we’d marked each other was

    MarissaThe night air was cool and sharp against my skin as we stepped outside the cabin. The full moon hung above us, heavy and bright, spilling silver light across the clearing, wrapping around us like a blessing.Justin stood close beside me, his chest rising and falling with each deep breath. His hand brushed mine, and I noticed a tremor beneath his touch. For a moment, neither of us spoke. This was it. No turning back.“This feels unreal,” I whispered.He reached for me and drew me flush against him. “It’s real. And it’s ours. No one gets to touch this.”Despite his reassuring words, I caught a flicker of nerves in his eyes.“Don’t be nervous,” I said softly. “It’s just us.”He nodded, clinging to my every word. His trusting eyes, framed by thick black lashes, held mine.“Come here,” I murmured, opening my arms. The tiny hairs on my arms rose as he hugged me tightly. My heart slammed at the sight of his fear and vulnerability.I could tell he was worried about this huge milestone

    MarissaThe resort cabin was tucked between clusters of cherry blossom trees, pale pink petals drifting across the stone path as Justin wheeled our bag toward the porch.This was all I needed—clean air, the smell of exotic flowers hidden in the greenery. Somewhere in the distance, a waterfall roared, and its mist seemed to hang in the air, clinging to my skin.“That’s a violation of my eyes,” I whispered to Justin as we passed a couple tangled up on a bench near one of the springs. The guy had his hand shoved so far up his partner’s bra it was practically obscene.Justin grinned wickedly and wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me closer. “We could give them some competition.”I swatted his hand away before he could grab my ass. “Have some dignity.”“Dignity is overrated,” he muttered, stepping behind me to hook his chin over my shoulder. “You’re no fun.”“Not true.” I elbowed him lightly and kept walking. “I’m the reason we’re not getting banned from this place.”This was the firs

    MalloryPresent DayIt all clicked. Every sleepless night, every gnawing memory, every question I’d been too stupid or too scared to answer slammed together into a sickening picture.The fog in my mind cleared, leaving me raw, cold, and furious.Norma.She was my undoing.I had let her into my life, fed her, dressed her, trusted her with my darkest fears and most dangerous secrets. And she played the perfect little angel while sharpening the knife she shoved straight into my back.She didn’t just betray me. She turned my life into a joke, laughing in my face while she set me up to get ripped apart.That night hit me like a punch to the gut, dragging me back to when Alaric found out about Alexander and me.I knew then that Alaric’s threats weren’t bullshit. He didn’t need to shout; he made people disappear. If you crossed him, you vanished—no warning, no second chances. And if you were unlucky enough, you got dragged to the dungeon to die slowly, screaming while the world ignored you.

    FLASHBACKMallory A sharp pounding at the door rattled the walls. Alexander and I jerked apart. My heart slammed against my ribs as I scrambled off the bed, fumbling for my tunic.Alexander lifted a hand, urging me to stay silent. His movements were precise and deliberate, guiding me into the bathroom and shutting the door without a sound.Through the crack, he checked the keyhole. His shoulders stiffened, a warning I did not need.“It’s Norma,” he whispered, eyes narrowing.He swung the door open a fraction. “What do you want?” His voice was clipped and irritated.Norma stumbled in, pale, sweat slicking her skin. “Where’s the queen?” I rushed out, my pulse roaring. “What’s happening?”She shivered, barely steady. I grabbed her shoulders, trying to anchor us both.“Talk to me,” I urged, forcing calm over the tremor in my fingers. “What happened?”“The king,” she stammered, swallowing hard. “Somebody told him about your affair.”The words hit like stones. My mind did not shatter. Fea

    Mallory That night marked the beginning of something reckless and unstoppable. I couldn’t get enough of him.I brought Alexander back into the palace as my bodyguard. Dangerous, yes, but irresistible. We stole moments whenever we could, throwing caution to the wind.By day, I played my role perfectly—as the twins mother, as the dutiful queen standing beside Alaric. By night, I gave myself wholly to Alexander, pouring every ounce of stress and longing into our stolen hours.He was my salvation and my destruction, and I didn’t care which came first.I was lost in watching him that morning, completely gone, my gaze fixed on the way he moved while speaking with the other bodyguards. They were preparing for an escort, but all I saw was him — the shift of his shoulders, the low rumble of his voice when he gave instructions.I didn’t hear Norma until she cleared her throat. I startled, blinking fast and whipping around like a guilty child.Norma’s brow lifted, her mouth curving into a smirk
