As Nathaniel and Liam’s kiss ended, they leaned into each other, their foreheads touching, lost in the intimate silence of their love. The clearing was filled with the sounds of cheering, laughter, and celebration, but at that moment, it felt like time stood still for them. I moved forward, ready to embrace my best friend and share his joy, but the atmosphere suddenly shifted. A loud scream pierced the air, shattering the peaceful moment.
I whipped around and saw Rose on her knees, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, her face contorted in pain. Fear gripped me, my heart pounding as I sprinted toward her. By the time I reached her, she had collapsed, unconscious, her body limp in my arms.
“Rose!” I shouted, my voice thick with panic. I gathered her into my arms, her skin cold against mine, her breathing shallow. My pulse raced as I felt a crowd gathering around us, their murmurs blending into a distant hum, but the only thing that mattered was the woman in my arms. Her face, usually so full of life, was pale, almost ghostly. Dark circles framed her eyes, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong.
Just then, Nathaniel’s voice broke through the chaos. “What the fuck?!”
I turned sharply, my Alpha instincts kicking in, anger and confusion swirling within me. “What are you talking about?! Go get a doctor!” I yelled, desperate for someone to act, to do something, anything.
Nathaniel’s face was pale, his expression one of disbelief. He pointed toward Rose, his voice rising in a mixture of shock and horror. “Ethan, look at her! Her stomach - she’s pregnant!”
His words hit me like a punch to the gut. Everything seemed to slow down for a moment, my brain refusing to process what he was saying. Pregnant? What was he talking about? I looked down at Rose, and my heart stopped.
I saw it. Her belly, swollen and round - far too large, far too developed. It was impossible. How had I not noticed? How had she not noticed? My mind raced, unable to comprehend what I was seeing. She appeared to be in her final trimester, ready to give birth. Panic clawed at my chest as I felt my world tilting off its axis.
“No… this isn’t possible,” I whispered, my voice barely audible, as if saying it out loud would somehow make it more real. But the truth stared back at me. Rose was pregnant, heavily pregnant.
“I’m taking her to the hospital! Someone find Amber, right now!” I commanded, pouring all of my Alpha authority into my voice. The crowd moved into action, but I didn’t wait. I sprinted toward the hospital with Rose in my arms, my heart hammering with fear.
By the time I reached the hospital, the staff was already waiting, having been alerted through the pack-link. They rushed us into a room, and I gently laid Rose on the hospital bed, watching as the medical team surrounded her. I stood by, helpless, my mind still trying to make sense of everything.
The sight of her belly, so impossibly large, sent a fresh wave of panic through me. My wolf growled in the back of my mind, agitated, sensing the danger. One moment she was fine, and a minute later she was heavily pregnant. My hands shook as I ran them through my hair, trying to piece together the fragments of my broken thoughts.
A memory flickered in the back of my mind - when I had first found out about her pregnancy. That had been six months ago. Even though we didn’t discuss it, I was sure she had an abortion. But now, the truth was staring me in the face, and it made little sense.
I needed answers. I needed Amber. She was the only one who could explain this. But as I stood there, staring at Rose’s unconscious form, all I could feel was fear - fear for her, for the baby, for everything that lay ahead. Something had gone terribly wrong, and I didn’t know if we would survive it.

Rosemary“That concludes today’s lesson,” the professor stated flatly, his voice mirroring the bland fluorescent lights.I didn’t wait for him to finish packing up his notes before I started shoving my things into my bag. The room felt stuffy, the faint buzz of whispered conversations around me pressing against my skull. This was my last class of the day, and I was already half out the door in my mind, worrying about the pending financial management exam and the gnawing question of whether I’d make rent this month.The hallway was crowded, a steady stream of students brushing past me, their chatter a dull hum in the background. I was halfway to the exit when a familiar hand caught my shoulder, the touch light but insistent.“Hey, where are you going?” Nathaniel’s voice, a casual tone hinting at a smile, rose above the surrounding noise.I turned to face him, forcing a small grin. “Heading home. Last class of the day.”“Wanna grab a bite?”The offer caught me mid-step. My brain immedia

RosemaryWhen I was five, they found me wandering barefoot and alone on the edge of a highway. My small hands were sticky with blood, but it wasn’t mine. I didn’t cry, didn’t speak. The only thing I could remember was my name. The police said I was silent the entire ride to the station, staring out the window like I was looking for something. Someone. But I don’t remember any of that. All I remember are flashes: the chill of the pavement under my feet, the red and blue lights flickering like fireflies, the way every adult seemed afraid to meet my gaze.They took me to an orphanage that night, the first of many. I think it was run by a church. Although my memories of that time are now hazy and indistinct, certain details remain strikingly clear: the cold, gray stone walls of the building which felt less like a home and more like a prison, the peculiar odor of candle wax mingling with the scent of aged wood, and the hushed tones of the nuns as they offered their nightly prayers while tu

RosemaryNathaniel and I chatted as we nursed our drinks, one after the other. I’ve always had a good tolerance, and Nathaniel liked to joke that I drank booze like fish drink water. His words made me smirk, though my mind drifted back to the stranger who’d been watching me earlier. His intense gaze had stuck with me, sending a shiver down my spine that I couldn’t shake.Just as Nathaniel leaned in to ask me how I’d done on our last test, a scream pierced through the loud music, making both of us freeze. The club seemed to fall into an uneasy silence for a split second before the noise returned, and everyone ran. I glanced toward the entrance, and my heart dropped when I saw the stranger approaching, his face tight with urgency.“Nate, did you see something?” he demanded, his voice sharp as his eyes flicked from Nathaniel to me.Nathaniel sighed, rolling his eyes. “Ethan, how many times have I told you not to call me Nate? You know I hate that.”“That’s highly irrelevant right now!” E

Unknown I’ve been standing here for nearly an hour, waiting for this ridiculous party to start. The surrounding humans are oblivious, buzzing with excitement as they line up outside the club. But I could feel her voice in my head, cold and commanding.Get me that heart.Her words echo through my mind, and a knot tightens in my chest. Being an underling for this arrogant but powerful witch is a small price to pay for my freedom. I’ll do what she asks. I always do.I watched as a couple bypassed the long line and strolled inside. I could feel them - they were wolves, or at least one of them was. But they weren’t my concern. Nothing will stop me tonight.Impatience thrummed through me as the bouncer lazily let people in, one by one. It felt like an eternity, but finally, I slipped past the threshold and into the club’s pulsing chaos. The air inside was thick with the stench of sweat, alcohol, and smoke - the things these humans seemed to revel in. I moved through the crowd, barely notic

RosemaryI woke up with a jolt, the sensation of warmth and weight pressing against my shoulder. It took me a moment to realize my head was resting against someone. I sat up too quickly, and my forehead bumped against Ethan’s. I winced as he shifted slightly, barely acknowledging the impact. Did I sleep the whole time on his shoulder? I glanced down at my phone, and it was 6 a.m. The pale light of dawn crept over the horizon, casting a soft glow through the trees outside the window. We were surrounded by forest, endless and unfamiliar.“Where are we?” I asked, my voice thick with grogginess.“We’re heading to my childhood home,” Nathaniel replied, his tone casual, like that’s a perfectly normal explanation. But nothing about this felt normal anymore.I turned back to the window, watching as we drove for another hour, and the dense trees gave way to something more structured - a gate. A massive iron gate loomed ahead as Nathaniel nodded to a guard who opened it without question. As we

NathanielI closed the door to Mer’s room, the soft click of the lock echoing in the stillness. The master key felt heavy in my hand as I lingered momentarily, staring at the door. She was locked away, just as Ethan asked. Part of me hated doing this to her, but another part knew there was no other way. Not now. Not with everything that was at stake.I sighed and headed up to the fifth floor, where Ethan’s smaller office loomed at the end of a long hallway. My footsteps were the only sound, a stark contrast to the swirling thoughts in my mind. Reaching the door, I knocked once, and after a beat, I hear a low, measured, “Come in.”I pushed the door open and stepped inside. Ethan was seated behind his massive mahogany desk, the dim light from the windows casting shadows across his face. His presence always commanded attention - he’s the Alpha of the “Silver Dawn” pack, after all. One of the largest packs in North America, and I, his Beta, second-in-command, and best friend, have stood b

RosemaryI woke up in a strange room, blinking against the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. For a moment, I wondered if I was still dreaming. Everything around me felt unfamiliar - the bed, the sheets, even the air. It all felt wrong. I sat up, rubbing my eyes, trying to shake off the fog in my mind. That’s when it hit me, a flood of memories from last night crashing over me like icy water.I glanced around, searching for my phone, and found it on the nightstand. The screen was dark - dead battery. Of course. I rummaged through the drawer next to the bed and found a charger, plugging it in before heading to the bathroom. I was already undressed, my clothes discarded somewhere in my exhaustion. As I stepped through the door, I was taken aback by the sheer size of the bathroom. A massive Jacuzzi took up one corner, next to a glass-enclosed shower that looked big enough to fit several people. Two marble sinks gleamed under the soft lighting.I slipped into the shower, l

RosemaryI woke up in the same bedroom as before, my head pounding like someone was taking a sledgehammer to my brain. Groaning, I sat up, pressing my palms against my temples, trying to ease the throbbing pain. Everything felt heavy, as if the weight of last night’s revelations had settled into my bones. As I blinked the fog from my eyes, I noticed Nathaniel sitting in a chair in the room’s corner, his posture tense, as though he’d been waiting for me to wake up.“You’re up,” he said, his voice soft, filled with concern. “How are you feeling?”“Like I drank 10 gallons of tequila,” I muttered, rubbing my temples. The pounding in my head made it hard to think straight, let alone process everything that had been thrown at me the night before.Nathaniel laughed, the sound warm but tinged with nervousness. “I stayed with you all night. I was worried.”His words hit me like a punch in the gut. Worried? He should be concerned, alright. Everything I’d been told last night felt like some twis

Rosemary Today was Nathaniel and Liam’s wedding, a day the pack had eagerly awaited. The air was filled with excitement, love, and joy, but I couldn’t shake the unease building inside me. I had been feeling unwell since the morning, but I did my best to push through, wanting to be present for Nathaniel’s big day. Grace, always the multitasker, had taken on the role of wedding planner and was rushing around to ensure every detail was perfect. I tried to help where I could, but my body felt heavier, weaker than usual.The ceremony was set to take place in a secluded clearing deep within the forest, a place that seemed to be kissed by nature itself. As I made my way closer to the clearing, the breathtaking beauty of it all hit me. The sunlight filtered gently through the towering trees, casting a golden glow on the vibrant greenery that surrounded us. Wildflowers bloomed at the edges of the clearing, their bright colors contrasting with the deep greens of the forest. The smell of pine a

DylanA strange quiet was settled over the pack, the kind that didn’t bring peace. It was the calm before the storm, the air thick with tension as we all waited for Andromeda to make her move. No one said it outright, but I knew everyone could feel it - like a predator circling, just out of sight. I had been in enough battles to know that this kind of stillness isn’t natural; it’s calculated.And if I could feel it, I knew Ethan did, too.Ethan’s always carried the pack’s weight on his shoulders, but lately, it has been different. There was a heaviness in him that wasn’t there before, like he was wrestling with shadows I couldn’t see. I was used to his relentless work ethic, the way he poured himself into every detail of running this pack. But it was more than that now. He was pushing himself harder, training with a single-minded intensity that would be impressive if it weren’t so worrying. I didn’t think he had slept a whole night in weeks.Last week, I caught him out in the training

RosemaryIt had been four months since that night by the creek, the night I drank Amber’s potion, sealing away a choice I didn’t fully understand. I hadn’t dared return to that spot - not even once. The memory of it haunted me, the way the moon had hung so heavily, casting an eerie glow on the water as I swallowed the bitter liquid that was supposed to end everything. Since that night, I had felt different, altered in some intangible way, as though I had stepped into a shadow that followed me everywhere, clinging to my skin.My body betrayed me daily. Fatigue sank deep into my bones, the kind of exhaustion that sleep could never touch. No matter how many hours I slept, I always woke feeling as if I’d been carrying a weight all night. Even the simplest tasks left me winded, my muscles ached as though I’d run for miles. Every step felt heavy, as if invisible chains weighed down my feet. Something was wrong, and yet, I couldn’t find the will to question it. I had made a decision that nig

RosemaryThe night of the full moon arrived, and I brewed the tea Amber had given me in a thermos, the bitter herbs swirling together like an ink-stained solution to all the chaos swirling inside me. As I stepped out into the cool night, I felt the familiar pull of my wolf, that instinctive desire to shift under the full moon, to let go and run wild through the forest. The urge was powerful, stronger than ever before, but I couldn’t give in tonight. Not until this was done.The moon hung high in the sky, bathing the woods in silver light, casting shadows that danced as I made my way to the creek I had found on my first shift. It was fitting, I thought, to return to the place where I had first felt the raw power of my wolf - where I had first realized what I truly was. But tonight wasn’t about connecting with my wolf. It was about taking back control.I arrived at the creek, the air cool and crisp against my skin. I sat beneath the familiar tree, the same tree that had given me comfort

RosemaryThe heavy fog in my brain slowly began to lift. It was like clawing my way out of a deep, suffocating pit, but eventually, I found my way back to consciousness. My body felt weak, like I had been wrung out and left to dry. My throat felt raw, as if I had swallowed sand, and when I tried to speak, no sound came out. My eyelids fluttered open, but the light was too bright, stabbing into my eyes, forcing me to shut them again.I tried again, this time more slowly. As my vision cleared, I saw him - Ethan. He was sitting in a chair right next to the bed, his head resting on the edge of the mattress. His face was peaceful, his chest rising and falling softly as he slept. A faint snore escaped his lips. Even in sleep, he looked so protective, so close.I didn’t want to wake him, but I shifted just enough to make him stir. His eyes opened immediately, concern flashing across his face the moment he saw me awake.“Rose, you’re awake!” His voice was filled with a mixture of relief and a

EthanI sat beside her hospital bed, my heart pounding in my chest. The cold, sterile atmosphere of the hospital was suffocating. The rhythmic beeping of the machines was the only sound breaking the silence, but all I could focus on was her - Rose, lying there, looking so small, so fragile. This wasn’t her. The woman I knew was a firestorm, full of life and strength. But now, her skin was pale, her lips cracked, and she looked like she was made of glass, ready to shatter at any moment.I leaned forward, brushing a strand of hair from her face. Her skin felt cool to the touch, much too cold. A lump formed in my throat as I struggled to contain the rising fear. I had never felt so helpless. I, the Alpha, the one who always had to be strong, was now at the mercy of fate - waiting, hoping, praying.Where had I gone wrong? How could I not have known? I replayed the last few weeks in my head over and over. Maybe I should have noticed she was more tired than usual. Maybe I should have stoppe

EthanAfter a long, exhausting day in the office, all I wanted was to crawl into bed next to Rose. Being near her had become something I couldn’t live without. Her warmth, her presence - it was all that allowed me to truly rest. But when I knocked on her door, there was no answer. I tried again. Still nothing.A strange unease crept into my chest. I turned the handle and opened the door to find the room cold and dark. A quick glance revealed the impromptu art studio she’d been using was untouched. Something wasn’t right. I decided to wait for her, assuming she’d show up soon, and sat down on the bed, scrolling through work emails on my phone. Slowly, exhaustion won, and I drifted into an uneasy sleep.A while later, I stirred awake. The room was still dark, and her side of the bed remained untouched. Panic started to gnaw at me. A quick glance at my phone told me it was 2 a.m. I tried to link Rose through the pack-link, but there was no response. I tried again. Still nothing. The knot

RosemaryIn the early afternoon, I received a mind-link from Dr. Bella asking me to come to the hospital wing. All day, my mind had been spinning with the possibility of being pregnant, and the concept of becoming a mother. The thought terrified me. I had never had a role model for a loving family, and the idea of creating one of my own felt foreign, almost impossible. The doctors had once told me I couldn’t have children, and I had accepted that. It felt like a decision had been made for me, a choice I never had to face. But now? I wasn’t sure if I was more scared or excited - or both.On the way to the infirmary, Ethan caught up with me. I tried to keep things casual, dodging his concern.“I’m just checking this stomach bug,” I said with a forced smile. “Nothing serious.”“Okay, love,” he replied, his eyes soft with concern. “Just let me know if you need anything.”I nodded as he turned and walked toward his office. Watching him disappear, I felt a pang of guilt.When I arrived at t
