LOGINThe Warning*****After Xavier left, I just sat there.The bracelet Lucia gifted me was still in my hand.I kept looking at it. Turning it slowly.Lucia’s words were still in my head.Her smile too.It all felt strange.I dropped the bracelet on the table and stood up.I didn’t know what to think.Part of me wanted to believe her.Part of me didn’t.I sighed and went to lie down.Maybe sleep would help.But even on the bed, my mind didn’t rest.Everything kept playing again.Lucia.Her apology.The gift.I closed my eyes.I didn't even know when I slept off.The next morning, I was still dressing when I heard a knock.I paused.For a second, I just stood there, holding my clothes.Another knock.I rushed to the door.As soon as I opened it, I froze.Logan.I didn’t expect him.Not this morning.Not like this.My heart skipped, but I quickly put on a small smile on my face. I was thinking he will start treating me nice since I am carrying his child. “Good morning, Alpha,” I said softl
A Change of Attitude*****“Now let me proceed.”Lucia stood in her room quietly, thinking. Her mind was alive with thoughts, but she forced herself to stay calm. The words repeated in her head. I have to apologize first.She shook her head slowly. “No. I won’t go alone,” she whispered to herself.If she went alone, it might look fake. People might doubt her sincerity. She needed witnesses, someone to see her, someone who would report it accurately. Someone who would confirm that this apology was real.Lucia walked toward the door, every step measured. “Xavier,” she called softly but firmly.A moment later, Xavier appeared, his expression curious. “You called for me?”“Yes,” she said calmly, her voice steady. She paused, watching his eyes, and then added, “I want you to come with me.”Xavier raised a brow. “Where?”“To see Freya,” Lucia said without hesitation.Xavier blinked, clearly surprised. “Freya?”“Yes.” Her voice was soft, but it held an edge of authority that left no room for
Playing Nice*****Lucia didn’t expect to see Logan that night.She was walking toward the stairs when she saw him coming from the opposite corridor.For a moment she stopped.Logan noticed her too.Neither of them spoke immediately.Lucia studied his face carefully.He looked tired. His shoulders were stiff, and his expression was the same cold mask he wore whenever he didn’t want anyone reading his thoughts.Lucia took a slow breath and walked toward him.“Logan.”He stopped.“Yes?”His voice was calm. Too calm.Lucia forced a small smile.“I was actually looking for you.”Logan didn’t react.He just waited.Lucia clasped her hands together lightly.“I came to apologize.”That finally made him look at her properly.His eyes narrowed slightly.“For what?”Lucia lowered her gaze for a moment, as if she felt embarrassed.“For the way I behaved earlier,” she said quietly.Her voice sounded soft now. Nothing like the anger she showed in the clinic.“I shouldn’t have reacted like that.”L
The Game Begins*****Lucia did not sleep that night.After leaving the clinic, she went straight to her room and shut the door. For a long moment she stood there, silent.Pregnant.The word kept echoing in her head.Freya was carrying Logan’s child.Lucia slowly sat down.At first she was angry. Her chest felt hot and tight. She wanted to storm back to the clinic and drag the girl out of that bed.But anger would not help her now.She forced herself to breathe slowly.“Think,” she murmured.If Freya gave birth, things would change in the pack. Everyone respected the Alpha’s blood.That child could give that girl a place in this house.Lucia will not allow that.She leaned back and closed her eyes for a moment.Fighting Freya openly would only make Logan protect her more. That was the truth Lucia did not want to admit, but she knew it.So she needed another way.A quieter way.Lucia opened her eyes again.A small smile appeared on her face.“Alright,” she said softly.“If I can’t figh
The ThreatLucia found out the next morning.She didn’t hear it from me. She heard it from whispers. And whispers move fast in a pack. Faster than fear, faster than loyalty, faster than any secret I could hide.I was still in the clinic when the door “banged" opened.She walked in like fire. Every step is a warning. Every glare burns.“Is it true?” she demanded.No greeting. Just rage.Xavier stepped slightly in front of her. “You need to calm down please,” he said, but his voice didn’t hold her.“Don’t tell me what to do,” she snapped.She turned and looked at me.“You’re pregnant right?”I didn’t answer. I didn’t need to. My silence said everything.She laughed. A short, ugly sound.“This is a trick,” she said. “You think carrying a child will make him choose you?”“I didn’t plan this,” I said quietly.She moved closer to the bed, leaning in, letting her words crawl under my skin. “You think I’m stupid?” she whispered. “You think I don’t see what you’re doing?”“I’m not doing anyth
On My Knees*****The morning after he rejected me, I learned what humiliation truly meant.Lucia didn’t even pretend anymore.Her hatred grew overnight. It showed in her smile. In the way she looked at me like I was something beneath her feet.“You’re moving,” she said.I stood still.“To the servant lane. You are nothing special. You are not his mate. You are not Luna. You are a servant. And that’s where you belong.”Her words didn’t shock me.They settled.Like I expected it.I nodded.“I understand.”She smirked.“Pack your things. From today, you serve. And soon, when I become Luna of this pack, you’ll be my personal maid. Whatever I say, you do it. Immediately.”“I understand,” I repeated.I didn’t argue.I didn’t cry.I went back to my room and packed what little I had. A few dresses. A small cloth. Nothing important.It didn’t take long.When I stepped into the servant quarters, I felt it.This was my place now.Not the main building. Not the Alpha’s wing. Not even the guest
