The Rejected Plump Mate Was Pregnant 130
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 We packed everything into the car on a Saturday morning. There was more of it than either of us had planned for because packing for a baby meant packing for three people regardless of how efficiently you tried to approach it. By the time the car was loaded, Alaric looked at the back seat and said, "We need a bigger car." "You said we needed bigger bags," I said. "Both," he said. "We need both." The drive to Elderwick took over two hours and Cael slept for most of it. It was a relief because the one time he woke up briefly, he made his feelings about being in the car seat very clear, then went back to sleep as abruptly as he had woken up. Elderwick Elite University sat on the edge of a town that was bigger than anywhere I had lived before. It was not a pack territory with defined borders, but an actual open town with streets going in multiple directions and buildings that had nothing to do with pack hierarchy or council politics. I sat in the passenger seat looking o

Raven's POV I waited four days before reaching out to Dara because I needed those days to figure out what I actually wanted from the conversation before I walked into it. I had learned by now that going into something important without knowing what you wanted from it was how you ended up agreeing to things you had not decided on yet. I wrote the message through Lord Thorne's office the way Alaric suggested, because it gave it the right weight. I made it clear that this was not an impulsive reach out, but something considered and deliberate. I kept it short by writing just my name, a brief acknowledgment that I had spoken with Maren, and a request to meet at a neutral location at a time that suited her. Her response came back within six hours, which told me she had been waiting for it. She suggested a small building in neutral territory two days from then. I confirmed it and told Alaric. He said he would arrange a warrior to be positioned nearby, and I said fine, as long as they

Raven's POV Saturday morning, I woke up with the crystal box in my hand. I had barely slept all night thinking about what I was going to say to Dante. "Today is the day," Breeze said. "We're finally going to make him face what he did." "Yeah," I said, getting out of bed. I got dressed in jeans

Raven's POV Wednesday morning, I woke up at five feeling like I was going to die. The nausea hit me so hard I barely made it to the bathroom before throwing up everything from dinner the night before. "This is getting worse," Breeze said worried. "Maybe we should see a doctor." "We can't," I

Raven's POV I spent Tuesday avoiding everyone. I ate lunch in the library and kept my head down in all my classes. The humiliation from yesterday was still fresh, and I didn't want to deal with people staring at me. But Alaric found me anyway. I was sitting under a tree after school working on

Raven's POV I woke up Thursday morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck. My whole body ached and my head was pounding. I tried to sit up but the room started spinning. "Maybe we should stay home today," Breeze said worriedly. "I can't," I said forcing myself out of bed. "I have two tutori
