LOGINBecca stared at Seraphina, her arms wrapped protectively around her son.She was still furious about what had just happened. The thought of Seraphina threatening her baby and attempting to use him as leverage made her blood boil.She had never imagined that someone could be so heartless. But one thing was certain: she wasn't going to allow Seraphina to walk out of that room as though nothing had happened."You're not leaving this room," Becca declared.Seraphina raised an eyebrow."Excuse me?""You heard me. You came into my room, threatened my child, and tried to blackmail me into running away with Tyler. Did you honestly think I would let you walk away without facing the consequences?" She asked.Seraphina looked at her with irritation."Becca, don't be ridiculous” she warned."I'm not the one being ridiculous here” Becca replied.Becca glanced around the room, looking for somewhere safe to place her baby. She couldn't afford to have him in her arms if things turned physical between
Desmond paced impatiently inside his dungeon cell, his hands clasped behind his back as he tried to contain his growing restlessness.He hated being confined. Every passing minute reminded him that he was no longer the man who once commanded respect and obedience throughout Blackwood Pack. Although he had managed to establish connections with a few people inside the mansion, it wasn't enough.He wanted to be out there. He wanted to see things unfold with his own eyes and make sure nobody interfered with what he had spent so much time planning.A few minutes earlier, one of the guards secretly working for him had delivered some encouraging news.The assassination attempt against Eugene had succeeded in injuring him, and the discovery of the attacker's connection to Tyler's pack had created exactly the kind of tension Desmond wanted.Even better, Eugene was now considering taking action against Tyler and his people.Desmond had struggled to hide his satisfaction when he heard the news.
Becca stood a few steps away from Seraphina, watching her hold the baby in her arms as though she had every right to be there.The sight made her blood boil.It was disturbing to watch her pretend to be affectionate when she had already threatened to hurt the baby if Becca refused to obey her demands."Stop playing with him and give him to me," Becca said impatiently.Seraphina glanced at her."You're making this unnecessarily difficult” she said.Becca took a deep breath. She couldn't simply snatch the baby and run without considering what Seraphina might do.Becca didn't know whether Seraphina had been working with someone inside the mansion or whether she had taken advantage of the confusion surrounding Eugene's orders.What she knew was that her son was in danger and she had to get him away from Seraphina."Have you thought about what I told you?" Seraphina suddenly asked.Becca looked at her but didn’t answer so Seraphina shook her head."Well, I'm tired of waiting” she said.Ser
Eugene stared at Kaelyn, struggling to believe what she had just suggested. Send Becca away? How could she expect him to consider something so ridiculous? He slowly shook his head, taking a step away from her. "Have you completely lost your mind?" Kaelyn remained composed, although she could sense that her suggestion had caught him off guard. "I'm only trying to help you” she said. "Help me?" Eugene repeated, his voice rising. "By telling me to send my mate away so another Alpha can have her? Is that what you consider helping me?" Kaelyn sighed. "Alpha Eugene, look at everything that's happening. You're allowing this situation to consume you” she said. "That doesn't mean I'm going to hand Becca over to him." Eugene's expression hardened. He couldn't imagine another man taking Becca away from him. The thought alone made something unpleasant twist inside his chest. He was the Alpha King. His authority was respected across the neighbouring territories, and allowing another Alp
Becca slammed her palms against the bedroom door for what felt like the hundredth time."Open this door!"Her voice echoed through the room, but the guards stationed outside remained unmoved."Luna Queen, please calm down," one of them responded politely. "We are only following Alpha King's orders.""Then go and tell him I want to see him!" She ordered."We can’t do that” the guard replied.Becca clenched her jaw, fighting the frustration building inside her.She couldn't believe Eugene had actually ordered the guards to lock her inside her own room. She was the Luna Queen of Blackwood Pack, not a prisoner who needed to be watched every second."Listen to me carefully," she said, pressing her hand against the door. "I want my son. Bring my baby to me immediately."There was a brief silence outside as the guards exchanged uncomfortable glances. They knew better than to disobey Eugene, but they also understood that refusing the Luna Queen's request could create another problem."Very we
Kaelyn and Eugene sat on one of the mansion's spacious balconies, where the breeze gently brushed against the curtains. A small table stood between them, holding a bottle of expensive wine and two crystal glasses.A maid approached and carefully poured the wine before bowing her head."Would You like anything else, Alpha King?""No. You may leave," Eugene replied without looking at her.The maid quietly withdrew, leaving the two of them alone.Eugene barely glanced at the glass in front of him. His thoughts were elsewhere, and the frustration written across his face made it obvious that he had no interest in enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.Kaelyn, however, was perfectly content to sit beside him. She had been waiting for an opportunity like this. After everything that had happened with Tyler, Vincent, and Becca, Eugene was clearly reaching the limits of his patience. She could see the anger in his eyes and the exhaustion behind his usual commanding expression.It was an opportunity
The dining hall was unusually quiet for a full moon evening. Silver candlesticks flickered across the long mahogany table, throwing restless shadows onto the high arched ceiling. The clink of cutlery against porcelain was the only sound daring to disturb the silence. A strained heaviness hung in
The sunlight was lazy this afternoon, spilling through the tall windows of Becca’s chamber in gold threads. Alpha Eugene sat at the edge of Becca’s bed, tall and tense, his shoulders rigid beneath his dark shirt. His eyes, usually calm but always alert, were fixed on her, though not with his usua
The hallways of the mansion carried sound in strange ways. Even when Kaelyn walked with her head down and her steps quiet, she could hear the faint hiss of whispers that silenced the moment she passed. She could hear the rustle of skirts when maids gathered in corners, their words clipped short bu
Mira’s arms ached slightly as she balanced the silver tray of Becca’s snacks. The fragrance drifted upward, soothing and delicate, but Mira herself was anything but calm. Because behind her, Max followed like a stormcloud. “Are you going to ignore me all the way up this hall?” Max’s voice was tigh
