The Rejected Plump Mate Was Pregnant 132
Raven's POV Dara's documentation went through Lord Thorne's office on a Thursday morning. By the afternoon, his contact on the council confirmed it had been received and logged, and that the faction's inquiry had stalled at the processing stage because there was nothing left to question once the formal acknowledgment was on the record. Alaric told me when I got back from my afternoon lecture. I sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "Just like that?" "Just like that," he said. "After everything," I said. "All of it, and it came down to a document submitted on a Thursday afternoon." "Most things do eventually," he said. "The fighting is loud, but the ending is usually quiet." I sat for a moment, then went to the wardrobe and took out the envelope Maren had given me. I placed it on the desk, opened it, and looked at the photographs again. Not for the first time, but with different eyes. The first time, I searched for myself in them. This time, I simply saw them for what they w

Raven's POV Sable sent the message at 7:00 a.m. It said Rendell Coas studies in the east wing of the library every Tuesday, between ten and twelve, and sits at the same table near the back left window. I read it and sent back a thank you. She replied, "Good luck and do not let Alaric intimidate him before you finish talking," which told me she had already figured out the plan without being told. We arrived at the library at five past ten, and I spotted Rendell before Alaric did, because I had been looking at people carefully my whole life, picking out the ones who were watching. Rendell had that quality. It was not obviously watchful, but watchful in the way that people are when they have been given a specific task and are waiting for the relevant thing to happen. He was tall and neat with dark hair. He was looking at his laptop when we sat down across from him, and he looked up. His expression shifted immediately into something that was trying very hard to stay neutral and not q

Alaric's POV The council faction did not waste time. By the morning after the function, my father had already received two separate inquiries from senior members asking pointed questions about Raven's background and the legitimacy of her standing as a Beta Lord's mate. He called me before I had finished my first coffee and said, "We need to move before they do." "How much time do we have?" I said. "Days," he said. "A week at most before they make it official, and once it is official, it becomes a public record and we lose control of how the information is framed completely." I thanked him and ended the call. I listed the names of council members who were most likely to question the legitimacy of Raven’s claim carefully and started planning the order in which each document would need to be submitted to prevent any challenges. I sat at the desk and thought about everything Raven had shared with me about Maren, Aldric Coas, Dara, the photographs sitting in the envelope in the wardro

Raven's POV We drove back to Thorne territory for the function on a Friday evening and Lord Thorne met us at the estate door. He looked us both over and said, "Good, you're on time," which, from him, was approximately equivalent to a standing ovation. The function was being held at the main council gathering hall in Thorne territory and it was bigger than I expected. Not in terms of the building, which was large enough, but in terms of the people filling it because every significant title holder in every affiliated territory had sent either themselves or a representative. The room had the specific energy of a space full of people who were all quietly measuring each other. I noted several unfamiliar faces quickly as we walked further in. Lord Thorne walked us in. I stayed beside Alaric and watched the room carefully, noting who looked over when we entered and what their expressions did when they saw me specifically. Several people looked at Alaric with recognition and respect and

Raven's POV Her name was Sable. She introduced herself on a Wednesday in the second week by sitting down next to me in the campus library without asking if the seat was taken and saying, "You are Raven Valkhor?" I looked at her and said, "Yes." I adjusted my bag on my shoulder and shifted slightly in my seat before looking back at her. "I know who you are," she said. "My older brother is a Valkhor pack member. He followed the council case closely and told me everything." I waited for what usually came after that kind of opening, which was either judgment or the specific excitement some people got from being near someone whose life had been publicly difficult, and neither arrived. She just looked at me with a straightforward expression that had nothing performative behind it. I did not respond immediately and let the silence sit for a second. "How much is everything?" I said. "Enough," she said. "Dante, the pregnancy, the expulsion order, the ceremony, the poisoned dagger, al

Raven's POV Alaric picked the note up from the floor before I could open it. I let him because he had gone into the careful assessment mode. I had learned that trying to stop him when he was in that mode was more effort than it was worth. He unfolded it and read it, then handed it to me. I read it and it said “Welcome to Elderwick, hope your first day treated you well, there is a good coffee place two streets from the east gate, third building on the left, tell them Sable sent you and they will give you the student discount.” Underneath that was a small drawing of a coffee cup that was not good, but was clearly meant to be cheerful. "It is a welcome note," I said. "Someone slipped it under our door without knocking," Alaric said. "That is how notes work," I said. "I want to know who Sable is," he said. "Alaric," I said. "It is a coffee recommendation." He looked at the note again, then at the door and back at the note with the expression he got when he was trying to talk himse

Raven's POV Monday morning started with Alaric waiting at my locker before school even officially started. He had that determined look on his face that usually meant he was about to do something I wouldn't like. "What are you planning?" I asked. "Nothing you need to worry about," he said. "Just

Raven's POV Monday morning, I made my decision. I was going to show Dante the official certification one last time. Give him one final chance to do the right thing before I take it to Alpha Marcus and Luna Vera. I found him in the parking lot after school, getting into his car. My hands were s

Raven's POV Tuesday evening, I was sitting on my porch trying not to think about yesterday's disaster with Dante when Alaric showed up with a bag of food. "You didn't come to school today," he said, sitting down beside me. "I was worried." "I just needed a day," I said. "After yesterday." "I h

Raven's POV The medical facility was two towns over in a small clinic that specialized in werewolf healthcare. Alaric drove me there on Saturday morning and waited in the lobby while I went in for the test. The doctor was a middle-aged woman with kind eyes. She explained the process as she set up
