The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha Fever Dreams and Pack Politics
(Freya's POV)Caroline’s smile was as perfect as ever, but I caught the briefest flicker of something in her eyes when I spoke out. Maybe surprise, maybe irritation. It was so fast, I almost thought I imagined it. Almost.Before the awkward silence could stretch further, Dr. Anderson cleared his throat loudly. The sharp sound broke the lingering tension in the room. His professional demeanor returned as though he hadn’t noticed the clash.“Luna Freya,” he said firmly, glancing at me, though I saw his gaze stray toward Caroline more than once. “Your fever is still dangerously high. I'll prescribe wolf healing herbs. They’re specialized treatments for cases like yours. You’ll need to start taking them immediately.”I didn’t respond, just nodded weakly. I didn’t trust myself to speak. My eyes darted to Caroline, who gave her trademark warm smile, though her posture straightened, like she was ready to take charge.Dr. Anderson nodded at Caroline. “Perhaps, Miss Caroline, you could enc
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha Secrets and Suspicions
(Freya's POV)I froze the moment I saw Aaron leaning against the doorframe, his golden eyes glued to the empty cup in my hand. His sharp gaze flicked between me and the sink where the healing herbs swirled away, leaving nothing but the faint scent of the bitter remedy. My chest tightened, every nerve in my body shrieking with tension.Raising the empty bowl slightly, I forced my voice steady. “Didn’t you see everything?”Aaron’s jaw clenched, his eyes narrowing. His posture radiated an icy control that only made his presence more suffocating. “You poured it out.” His words weren’t a question.“I already told you I wouldn’t drink it,” I replied, meeting his glare head-on. My fingers gripped the bowl tighter, tension building with every second his eyes stayed on me.His wolf, Logan, stirred behind his gaze, his golden eyes flashing faintly. “That’s not the point,” Aaron said coldly, stepping into the bathroom. The small space felt cramped with the weight of his Alpha dominance. “Why
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha A Suspicious Alpha
(Aaron's POV)Amanda kept fidgeting under my gaze, her discomfort evident."Did the trash contain anything else unusual?" I asked, my tone sharp. Her eyes darted nervously before she shook her head. Logan growled in my mind, not satisfied.My jaw tightened as I stared Amanda down."And you’re sure this report came from yesterday?" My voice was sharp, leaving no room for hesitation."Yes, Alpha," she said, her voice trembling. "It was soaked, mixed with the clothes Luna Freya wore after the rain."I stared at her, my mind racing. Freya had deliberately thrown this away. The fact that it was damaged by the rain connected it to that night outside the Blue Moon Club.Logan paced restlessly inside me, urging me to act. His agitation seeped into my thoughts like a buzzing tension."Why would she stand in the rain?" I muttered under my breath. It didn’t make sense. If she’d wanted a ride, she could have called one. If she hadn’t, what had she been doing?Amanda’s voice broke through
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha The Confrontation
(Freya's POV)Aaron leaned closer, his towering frame casting a shadow over me that felt suffocating. His golden eyes, flecked with wolfish intensity, bore into mine.Every breath he took seemed to heat the room, the cedar and citrus scent of him filling my senses and making my heart pound in betrayal.Bella stirred inside me, her instincts pulling her toward him no matter how much my rational mind resisted.“Tell me what’s going on,” Aaron demanded, his voice low and sharp. His words struck like a command, pressing against me and forcing me to meet his intense gaze.I felt my walls falter. For a fleeting moment, I thought about telling him. The pressure was unbearable. The things I had tried so hard to bury in secret threatened to bubble to the surface.The life growing inside me, the cub we’d created, the truth of that night I stood alone in the cold rain—all of it clawed at me, begging to be spoken.But before I could even consider the words, Caroline’s image flashed in my mi
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha Hidden Alliances
(Freya's POV)The click of the door closing behind Aaron echoed in my ears long after he left. His words, no longer heated but distant, still weighed heavy on my mind.“You don’t have to go to the pack office today. Rest well.”Rest. As if rest could erase everything churning inside of me. I sat motionless on the edge of our shared bed, my hand hovering protectively over my stomach without conscious thought.The small life within me—our cub—was a ticking clock I had no idea how to handle. It dominated my thoughts, yet I couldn't stand to face the growing truth, not now.I gritted my teeth, forcing away the image of Aaron’s cold expression. I had responsibilities, duties as Luna, and dwelling on the impossible wouldn’t erase my obligations. With a deep breath, I stood, clean lines of professionalism drawn over the chaos inside me.But before I could move to my desk, my phone vibrated sharply on the bedside table. I frowned, the name “Daniel Rivers” flashing across the screen.I p
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha A Desperate Decision
(Freya's POV)Emily’s face went pale. She set her coffee cup down so hard that it rattled against the saucer. The shock in her expression almost made me look away.“Caroline?” she whispered harshly, eyes wide. “You mean *the* Caroline? The one who saved Aaron’s life? She’s back?”I nodded, unable to meet her gaze. My hands gripped the edge of my teacup, keeping my focus on the small chipped rim rather than the reality of her disbelief.Emily’s lip curled slightly. “Of course. That explains so much. *She’s* the reason, isn’t she? That’s why you’re even thinking about terminating your cub?”I flinched. The word “terminating” hit like a slap, sharp and unforgiving.“Emily, keep your voice down,” I muttered, stealing a glance around the café. The last thing I needed was curious wolves overhearing this conversation.Emily leaned closer across the table, her voice lower but filled with simmering anger. “I don’t care if the next table hears me. Freya, you’re carrying Aaron’s cub! His h
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha A Secret Intercepted
(Freya's POV)"It’s done, Bella…" I whispered softly, my voice barely audible as I clutched the phone tightly in my hand, staring at the now-sent message on the screen.My wolf stirred within me, the pacing and whining that had unsettled my mind earlier finally ceasing. Instead, Bella let out a soft rumble of approval, a protective warmth radiating from her presence.I exhaled shakily and placed the phone back on the bedside table. My hand trembled as I withdrew it, a swirl of emotions battling inside me—relief, dread, and a desperate hope I didn’t dare name."He’s busy," I murmured, my voice a fragile thread as I tried to reason with myself. Aaron was likely tied up with pack business in his office, pouring over territory reports or outlining patrol routes."He’ll reply when he sees it," I told Bella, but the reassurance felt hollow even as I said it.Bella didn’t argue this time. Instead, she settled down quietly within me, her essence curling protectively around the cub beneat
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha Silence and Schemes
(Freya's POV)The room was quiet. Too quiet. Except for the soft ticking of the clock on the wall, nothing moved. I sat on the edge of the bed, my phone clutched in my hands, staring at the last message on the screen: “I’m pregnant.” The words glared back at me, as if mocking my foolishness.Aaron’s silence was deafening. Each minute that passed made my chest tighten, the weight unbearable. Bella, my wolf, growled restlessly inside me, pacing and circling. Her usual calm, protective nature had been replaced with frustration.*Why doesn’t he reply?* Bella’s voice echoed in my head, low but accusing.I let out a shaky breath, trying to reason with her. “He might be busy with pack matters,” I whispered aloud, though the explanation felt hollow. Aaron had always found time to respond to messages whenever it involved pack duties. This wasn’t about the pack; this was about us—about the cub. And yet… silence.Bella didn’t respond to my attempt at soothing her. Instead, she growled again,

The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha A Surprising Encounter and a Wager
(Freya's POV)I stepped out of the Northern Ridge Pack headquarters, frustration still simmering inside me. My conversation with Caroline had left me with more questions than answers, and Aaron's sudden refusal to sever our mate bond made absolutely no sense.My phone buzzed in my purse. I pulled it out, surprised to see Marcus Cross's name on the screen."Hello, Marcus," I answered, trying to keep my voice neutral despite my turbulent emotions."Hello, Little Snow," his warm voice replied. "I see you're at the pack headquarters. Just leaving?"I froze mid-step, glancing around the parking lot. "How did you know I'm here?"A soft chuckle came through the phone. "Look to your right, near the oak tree."Following his directions, I spotted a familiar black SUV parked a short distance away. Marcus stood beside it, phone in hand, waving at me.I ended the call and walked toward him, my wolf Bella curious but cautious within me. "This is unexpected," I said as I approached. "Why are
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha Confrontation Between Rivals
(Third-person's POV)The tension in Aaron's Alpha office was palpable as the two she-wolves faced each other. Caroline stood with her chin raised slightly, her posture radiating confidence despite the bandage still visible on her forehead. Freya remained seated on the leather couch, her violet eyes calm and observant."If I remember correctly, you two were supposed to sever your mate bond after Elder Katherine's surgery, weren't you?" Caroline asked, her voice dripping with contempt. Her lips curved into a mocking smile as she continued, "It's been so long since Elder Katherine's surgery, why aren't you severed yet?"She paced a few steps closer, her designer heels clicking against the hardwood floor. "Freya, could it be that you're coveting the position of Luna of the Northern Ridge Pack and want to break our agreement by not severing the mate bond?"Unable to find Aaron, Caroline had clearly decided to taunt Freya instead. If Caroline hadn't helped her family keep their ancestral
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha Refusal to Sever the Mate Bond
(Freya's POV)I paced back and forth in Aaron's Alpha office, my heels clicking against the hardwood floor. The sunlight streamed through the large windows, illuminating the space that carried his scent everywhere."I know you're avoiding me, Aaron," I said firmly into the phone. "We had an agreement."His silence on the other end only fueled my frustration."We agreed to sever our mate bond after your grandmother's surgery," I continued, trying to keep my voice steady. "Then you changed it to after her recovery. She's better now, so what's your excuse this time?"I heard him exhale sharply through the phone."I'm busy with pack business, Freya. This isn't the right time."I stopped pacing and gripped the phone tighter. "Not the right time? When will it be the right time? Next week? Next month? Next year?"My wolf Bella stirred inside me, sensing my rising emotions. I placed a protective hand over my abdomen where our unborn cub grew, hidden from Aaron's knowledge."I don't un
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha Desperate Measures
(Caroline's POV)Father's expression grew increasingly grave as we continued our conversation in his private den. The firelight cast deep shadows across his face, making him look older and more concerned than I'd seen him in years."This won't work, Caroline," he said, leaning forward in his leather chair. "From what you're telling me, I'm deeply worried about your situation with Aaron."I could see the calculation behind his eyes. As Alpha of the Redwood Pack, my father rarely showed vulnerability, but now his concern was evident."What do you mean it won't work?" I asked defensively.He sighed heavily. "I had assumed you and Aaron were already a sure thing—that you were just waiting for him to sever his mate bond with Freya. But now you tell me you haven't even established a physical connection?"His words stung because they highlighted my own fears."If Aaron truly desired you," Father continued, "how could he have spent years in your company without making any advances towar
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha The Desperate Struggle for Affection
(Freya's POV)After saying goodbye to Grace Hunter, I headed directly to the wolf medical facility. My mind was still replaying our conversation, particularly my declaration about keeping my cub and severing the mate bond with Aaron. Saying those words aloud had solidified my resolve.The medical facility corridors were quiet as I made my way to Elder Katherine's room. I paused outside her door, adjusting my cardigan and taking a deep breath before entering with a warm smile."Look who's here," Sarah Steel announced, turning from her position beside the bed. "We were just talking about you, Freya."Elder Katherine's eyes brightened when she saw me. Despite her recent surgery, the elderly she-wolf looked remarkably improved, her complexion rosier than before."My dear," Elder Katherine extended a slightly trembling hand toward me. "Come sit by me."I moved to her side, gently taking her hand in mine. "How are you feeling today, Elder Katherine?""Much better," she replied, pattin
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha Decisions and Revelations
(Freya's POV)I stared at Grace Hunter, completely caught off guard by her direct question about my pregnancy. Her eyes held a mixture of challenge and vulnerability as she awaited my answer. The café suddenly felt too warm, too confined."How did you..." I began, then stopped myself. Of course she knew. She'd been at that same specialty clinic with her mother.Grace leaned forward, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Luna Snow, I may not have known you before, but I've heard rumors. The Alpha in your life has others besides you. Can you even manage your own affairs?"The words hit me like a physical blow. My wolf Bella growled defensively within me, protective of both our dignity and our unborn cub."You're suggesting I have no right to advise you because my own mate bond is problematic," I stated flatly, meeting her gaze.Grace's expression shifted instantly, the boldness fading as quickly as it had appeared. Her shoulders slumped, and regret flashed across her face."I'm sorry,
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha A Confrontation of Truths
(Grace's POV)Mother's grip on my arm tightened, her manicured nails digging into my skin. I winced but didn't pull away. Her eyes narrowed dangerously."Not going to see him?" she hissed, disbelief evident in her tone. "Do you think I was born yesterday, Grace? The last time you said that, I found you in that Delta's apartment!"I felt heat rising to my cheeks at the memory. Mother had tracked my scent across half the pack territory, bursting into Caleb's small apartment while we were together. The humiliation of that day still burned fresh in my mind."Mom, please," I pleaded, conscious of other wolves passing by us at the medical facility entrance. "It's not like that this time."She released my arm but kept her penetrating gaze fixed on me. "Then what exactly is it like? Where are you going in such a rush?"I hesitated. Telling her I was meeting Luna Snow would only raise more questions—questions I wasn't prepared to answer. But lying again would only deepen her distrust."I
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha Confrontations and Choices
(Aaron's POV)Mother's accusatory tone rang through the phone, making me wince. I could almost see her expression—eyebrows raised, lips pursed in that way that always made me confess as a young wolf pup."I don't know what you're talking about," I replied, keeping my voice even.I nearly blurted out that Freya and I were planning to sever our mate bond, but caught myself just in time. Mother had always been skilled at extracting information from me. When I was younger, she'd catch me off guard with rapid questions until I revealed whatever mischief I'd been involved in."Aaron Steel," she said, emphasizing my surname the way she always did when displeased. "I've known you since before you could shift. Don't think you can hide things from me."I drummed my fingers against the polished surface of my desk. Though she might still be the same perceptive mother, I was no longer the same easily manipulated pup."Look, Freya and I have had some minor conflicts recently," I said carefully
The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha Secrets and Maternal Bonds
(Margaret's POV)I kept my pleasant smile firmly in place while inwardly seething at the sight of Freya Snow. If I hadn't encountered her at that small wolf medical facility weeks ago, I wouldn't be so cautious now. But that chance meeting had given me dangerous knowledge—knowledge I couldn't freely use without exposing my own family's vulnerabilities.My eyes narrowed as I assessed the Northern Ridge Pack's Luna. She looked healthier today, her cheeks carrying more color than when I'd spotted her at that specialized fertility clinic. Was she still pregnant with the Steel heir, or had she gone through with the termination?The Hunter family name carries significant weight in our pack. For generations, we've maintained our prestige through careful alliances and strategic matings. My daughter Grace deserved the most advantageous match possible—and who better than Aaron Steel, the Alpha King himself?"Margaret?" Sarah's voice broke through my thoughts. "You seem distracted.""Not at
