KATARINA

I stared at Alexander, waiting for his response, but he didn't answer, instead running his hand roughly through his hair. So I asked again.

“Xander, are you okay?" I spoke softly, searching his face in the low moonlight that filtered through the windows, and he finally exhaled, visibly forcing his shoulders to relax. “I'm fine," he said, but the edge in his tone remained. “But you must not request anything from Cyra. I'll draw you an exercise plan."

I blinked, warmth spreading through

    ALEXANDER A knock at my door jolted me awake, and I groaned as I blinked against the soft light of the bedside lamp. My gaze shifted to the clock, which displayed 6:07 a.m.I sat up slowly, rubbing my face, feeling as if my eyes were full of sand from the miserable few hours of sleep I'd had.Still, I was glad whoever was outside woke me up because I had planned to get up early anyway. I wanted to make breakfast in bed for Katarina.Someone had to do it because my brother was too busy with his mistress to be present for his pregnant wife. Crossing the suite, the thought left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.I muttered, “I'm coming," as the person knocked again. I unlocked the door and pulled it open, then froze when I saw my brother and Katarina.Before I could process their presence, my brother's eyes welled up with tears, and he drew me into a tight hug. The squeeze nearly knocked the breath from my lungs, and I froze for a split second before hugging him back.He thanked me, hi

    KATARINA My body still tingled with the aftershocks of what had happened outside, as I slipped back inside the gym. Alexander sat on the bench press in the far corner, elbows on his knees, staring at the floor. He straightened up the moment I entered, his sharp gaze finding mine in the dim light. “I think I should be heading home,” I said softly, offering a small smile. “But… I’ll stay if you need company. I don’t mind.”He stood quickly, stepping closer. “No, I don’t need company. You should go and get some rest.”I nodded, understanding that he needed space after everything we’d shared. We moved toward each other at the same time and wrapped our arms around one another in a long, heartfelt hug. And I held him a little tighter than necessary, breathing him in, before finally pulling back.“Goodnight,” I whispered.“Goodnight,” he replied with a voice rough around the edges.I gave him one last lingering look, then turned and left the gym. The walk back to the main house felt diffe

    MOMENTS EARLIER CYRAI wasn't sleeping.I hadn't been since Greyson slipped out of bed. My eyes had opened the moment his weight left the mattress, and I remained motionless, listening as he moved around the cabin.When I heard the soft creak of the front door, something ugly twisted in my gut, and I rose silently, pulling on a robe, and followed at a distance, remaining in the darkness.From the hallway, I heard enough of the phone call to make my blood boil. He was checking on her. I pressed against the wall, fists clenched so tightly that my nails bit into my palms. How had it gotten to this? I had noticed the shifts as we prepared to welcome Marcus' family. I could tell Greyson was becoming softer toward her. It was obvious in the way he looked at her when he assumed I wasn't looking.But I hadn't allowed myself to believe it went this deep. Did he love her? After everything we've gone through together?Betrayal burned through me like poison, and angry tears streamed down my che

    KATARINAI lay beneath Alexander on the cool grass, my legs still wrapped around him, our chests heaving in unison as the knot held us close. My mind raced, attempting to catch up with what my body already knew. The fullness, the pulsing warmth deep inside me, and the primal instinct that whispered life. It had finally happened.I was pregnant.The realization washed over me in waves. After much heartache and prayer, the heir was here. Greyson's heir. The Pack's Future. Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked up at Alexander's face, which was shadowed in moonlight but achingly open.“Xander…" I whispered, my voice trembling. “I'm… I'm pregnant, aren't I?"He nodded slowly, his eyes brimming with unshed tears. “Yes," he breathed, his voice heavy with emotion. “Congratulations, Kat!"His voice broke when he said my name, and the first tear slipped down his cheek, falling warmly onto my face. That single drop split my chest open. This child was his heir, and he would never recognize him a

I paused and tilted my head. “But I still don't understand. What's wrong with me asking Cyra?” Alexander's jaw visibly tightened, and he ran his hand through his hair again, fingers gripping the strands as if fighting an internal battle. The silence stretched between us once more, and I could see the conflict in his expression—the darkening of his eyes and the subtle clench of his fists at his si

    KATARINASelf-pity would not change anything, I told myself firmly as I finally got up from the bed. My legs felt unsteady, but I forced them to support me. I couldn't sit here wallowing in the dark while Greyson moved through the world without me because I was too weak to stand by his side.Tonight, I would go to Alexander, do what was necessary, and fall pregnant because the moon goddess would have it so. I closed my eyes briefly and said a silent prayer into the quiet room.Moon Goddess, please help me conceive tonight. Give me the strength to do what needs to be done, and allow this child to bind us together in a way that brings peace not only to Greyson and me, but also to Alexander. Help him help his brother. Give him strength.But first, I needed to take control of my own destiny. No more passively watching events unfold around me. Cyra's words from my early days here echoed in my mind—her sharp advice that I needed to be strong so that I could stand up for myself and watch Gre
