ALPHA KYLIAN'S POVI paced up and down in my office. My mind was filled with thoughts of Lorraine's betrayal. How could she do this to me? Why couldn't she just be honest with me? Here I was, thinking we had a connection yet all this time, she was using me for her own gain. I felt like a fool. Deep down, I was hurt by her deception, even though I tried to deny it. During the few days we spent together, I had come to care for her deeply. She wasn't worth it. She was a gold digging bitch.What do I do now? I can't call for another meeting with some ladies from the pack. It would look suspicious since I had already announced to everyone that Lorraine was my mate. We were supposed to be married in two days. The preparations are going on even at the moment. The Council will fault me if I fail to be mated. Where can I find a contract Luna in one day? Even if I do, how can I go about it without people getting suspicious? That bitch just had to ruin everything. It was all her fault. Once aga
YAZ'S POVI made my way to the dungeon. I walked along the dark corridors until I got to the cell I was looking for. Lorraine sat on the floor with her knees hugged to her chest. I could hear the sounds of her sobs. I could swear that I even heard her whisper Kylian's name a few times. I almost laughed at the sight. She had fallen hard for him. She shouldn't have done that. It was all funny, really. The sight of it all entertained me. "Bring her out to the holding room" I ordered the guard "I want to talk to her alone"He bowed his head "Yes Beta" I went to the holding room and sat there, waiting for the guard to bring Lorraine to me. It didn't take long. I could hear her struggle against him outside the door. "Let me go!" she screamed. Kylian was right. She really was feisty. The guard came in and threw her to the floor on her knees. She was handcuffed. "Well, well, well" I said in a mocking tone "Look what we have here. The fallen queen. Technically, you aren't queen yet but y
LORRAINE'S POVThe next morning, I didn't feel too well. Apart from the emotional turmoil inside me, I didn't feel well physically. I laid on the floor in a foetus position. My body was heated up. I could feel the heat from within me. I shivered on the cold floor. I could feel the beads of sweat dropping from my forehead. I could barely open my eyelids. My mind was foggy. "Are you okay?" Becca asked me. My teeth gritted as I spoke "I'm fine" I wasn't fine. I was thrown here because of how cruel my mate was, because of a simple mistake. So what if we were mates? That's a good thing. Kylian should be happy about finding his other half. Instead, he threw me here into the dungeon. Our wedding is supposed to be tomorrow. I was so excited. Look at me now. The thought of it all made tears well up in my eyes. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I know it sounds crazy but within the few days Kylian and I spent with each other, I had grown to love him. It's most likely the mate bon
ALPHA KYLIAN'S POVI sighed loudly as I sank wearily into the armchair in my study. Today was hectic. I had endless meetings that I had to attend to. I needed to inform the council about my change of plans. I told them about Lorraine’s deceit, along with the lies that she tried to bewitch me. Molly's plan worked. I could tell the council didn't believe me. Even I knew the lies I told sounded a bit ridiculous. However, they couldn't say anything to dispute me and Molly's engagement because of her family's elite status. I went through series of other meetings with the wedding planner. Yaz was on my neck about Lorraine and Becca's punishment. Everything left me feeling drained, both physically and emotionally. I rubbed my temples, trying to ease the throbbing ache that pulsed behind my eyes.Different emotions swirled inside me. I couldn't explain them. At first, I was certain that I would punish Lorraine and Becca but then, I was blinded by my anger. I was hurt by the fact that Lorraine
LORRAINE'S POVI sat on the cold damp floor. My body was still heated up and I shivered violently. My condition was getting worse by the day. I felt weak to the point where I could barely move a muscle. I felt the walls closing in around me. The cell was dark. I hadn't seen the sunlight in what felt like forever. As a result, I didn't know how long I had been here - Days? Maybe a week had gone by. I wouldn't have known. My mind was filled with thoughts of Kylian. I struggled to contain the emotions I felt inside me. Tears filled my eyes every time I thought about him. I tried to console myself with the few good times we had. When I laid on the floor in the darkness, I imagined his comforting arms around me. I knew I should hate him. He locked me down here for a petty mistake. Still, I couldn't help my feelings for him. It was pathetic. The fact that I was pregnant scared me more than I cared to admit. I didn't know what to do. I didn't expect to be locked up in a dungeon and pregnan
LORRAINE'S POVI sat in the cold dark cell. I rubbed my belly as I stared into space, lost in my thoughts. I couldn't believe that there was a life growing inside me. I imagined having a family with Kylian. It would be the most beautiful thing. I had always dreamed of finding my mate and starting a family. I loved children. I'm sure Kylian would love his child too. For the first time ever since I landed in this cell, I felt a bit of... Hope. I trusted Molly. I knew she would deliver my message. I also had a feeling that Kylian would realize his mistakes as soon as he hears the news. He would instantly change his mind and come down here to get me. I would forgive him and we would move on like it never happened. He was just annoyed. That's the reason he threw us down here. Once everything is sorted out, all will be well again. From the way Kylian comforted me and made me feel safe, I had a feeling that he would make a good father. Every Alpha wants an heir. Apart from that, I knew tha
LORRAINE'S POVI stood there in silence, not caring if I lived or died. I could hear the growl of the beast but I couldn't care less. "Lorraine" Becca said "We need to do something" I stared into space in silence. I could feel the world spinning around me in a blur. I thought of everything that had happened. It brought tears to my eyes. Kylian had exiled me.... And our child. Not only did he not care for our baby, he sent me away. This same Kylian that made love to me passionately that night.... Was the same person who sent me away. How? How could someone be so cruel? Why did I fall for him so fast? "Lorraine!" Becca screamed "Let's do something". Becca's voice faded into the background. She tried to shake me from my trance but it didn't work. I was lost in my thoughts. Now, I felt like a shadow of myself. I just wanted it all to end. I wish I was dead. How could I be so foolish? The growl became louder. Suddenly, a large bear emerged from the trees. It growled loudly. Becca's han
ALPHA KYLIAN'S POVI sat at the head of the table in the board room The council members sat around me as they waited for me to address them. To other people, I looked normal but deep inside me, I had a lot of conflicting emotions. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Lorraine. I tried to get her out of my mind but it just wasn't working. The main door opened, revealing Molly. She was dressed in a white flowing long wedding dress designed with stones. She wore a veil on her head and had a bouquet in her hands. Mollu wanted a big ceremony but I decided against it. I decided to have a small private gathering in the board room. Lorraine wanted a huge ceremony. If I did that with Molly, it would be a betrayal to Lorraine. But why did I care? I didn't want a big ceremony anyway. It wasn't like I was getting married for love. It was just a contract agreement and should be treated as such. It didn't need any type of extravagance. Molly walked towards me slowl
