Aria POV

— Three days later —

The garden had become my refuge.

It sat tucked behind the eastern wing of the fortress, half-hidden by tall stone walls and climbing vines that smelled faintly of earth and rain. No guards. No footsteps. Just wind brushing through leaves and the soft hum of life doing what it always did—moving on.

I sat cross-legged on the cool grass, palms resting upward on my knees, eyes closed. Breathing in. Breathing out. Slow. Controlled. The way Elowen once taught me when my

    RAIDEN POVMonsters don’t become fathers. My chest tightens — not in pain. In awe. I turn slightly, looking down at her. Aria is still curled into me like she belongs there. One hand rests unconsciously over her stomach. Over our child. I place my hand there too. Carefully.Like I’m holding something sacred.I don’t know what I expected — a kick, maybe. A glow. Some divine sign that confirms this isn’t a dream.But there’s just warmth.Life.And the quietest sense of something bigger than me.“I made a baby,” I whisper to myself again.I still can’t believe it.She stirs slightly, blinking up at me. “You’re smiling like a fool again,” she murmurs.“I am a fool,” I reply calmly. “A very powerful, very handsome fool.”She snorts.I lean down and kiss her forehead softly. Then her cheek. Then lower — to her stomach.She laughs sleepily. “Raiden.”“Good morning,” I murmur against her skin.Her fingers slide into my hair. “You’re different this morning.”“Am I?”“Yes.”I lift my head and l

  • The Royal Mate Of The Cursed Lycan King   A father

    Aria POVI didn’t sleep.Not really.I’ve been sitting beside Raiden all night, watching the steady rise and fall of his chest like it’s the only thing keeping me alive. Every time my eyes tried to close, fear snapped them back open.You want to know how last night ended?After he collapsed, after I carried him back through the forest with my heart cracking in my chest, Ava had thankfully been outside the fortress gates. She didn’t ask questions at first—just rushed forward when she saw him limp in my arms.There were stares.So many stares.Pack members froze mid-step. Conversations died. Eyes followed us as Ava helped me carry him inside. I could feel the weight of their confusion, their worry.I smiled at them.A small, polite, “everything is fine” smile.Even though nothing felt fine.We found Lucian and Elowen quickly. They took over from there, laying him on the bed, checking his pulse, his breathing, his everything they could.Elowen had pressed her hand over his chest and clos

  • The Royal Mate Of The Cursed Lycan King   Dead

    Aria POVWhat the actual fuck?Tonight was supposed to be perfect.Tonight was supposed to be the night I told him.The night I would take his hands, place them on my stomach, and whisper that there was something growing inside me. Something small. Something ours.A little creature. A heartbeat we made.And instead—Instead, I was standing in the middle of the forest watching my mate unravel in front of me.“Run.”The word echoed in my head long after he said it. It didn’t even sound like him. It sounded forced. Torn out of him.I didn’t move immediately.I just stared.My eyes scanned every inch of him—his massive frame trembling, claws digging into the earth, muscles twitching violently beneath dark fur. He was struggling. I could see it. His head jerked slightly as if he were fighting something inside his own skull.“Oh goodness…” I breathed, one hand instinctively pressing against my stomach.Protective. Automatic.“Raiden,” I whispered, voice trembling. “I know you’re still in th

    Raiden POV She returned barely minutes later—and I swear the fortress itself brightened.Aria stepped into the corridor dressed for the night, hair braided loosely over one shoulder, a soft cloak wrapped around her frame. She looked… ready. Not just dressed—ready, like a child about to sneak out for her first adventure, eyes sparkling with barely contained excitement.She stopped in front of me and spun once. “Okay,” she said proudly. “I’m prepared. I think.”I raised a brow. “You think?”“Well,” she shrugged, tugging the cloak tighter, “if I freeze, I’ll just blame you.”I laughed, offering her my arm. “Fair enough.”The moment we stepped out of my chambers and into the main corridor, fate—or gossip—decided to strike.Ava was the first to spot us.She gasped dramatically, clutching her chest like she had just witnessed something scandalous. “Ohhh no. Look at them. Look at them,” she said loudly, nudging Emma hard in the ribs. “See? I told you. I told you.”Emma followed her gaze, t

    Aria POVAfter waiting for some time, the door opened softly, and Ava walked in first, her presence filling the room again before her voice ever could. Elowen followed just behind her, calm as always, her steps light, measured—like she already knew something the rest of us didn’t. The moment her eyes landed on me, she stopped walking.She paused.And smiled.Not a polite smile. Not a greeting smile.The knowing kind.I lifted my brow slowly. “Well?” I asked, squinting at her. “Why are you looking at me like I just confessed to stealing the moon?”Elowen’s smile widened as she stepped fully into the room. “Oh my goddess,” she breathed. “Look at you.”Ava groaned immediately. “Oh no, don’t start with that tone. We do not know anything yet. That is exactly why we called you here.”Emma nodded beside her. “Exactly. No dramatics. Yet.”Elowen waved them both off without even looking at them. “Yes, yes, relax. I heard you the first time.” Her gaze returned to me, warm, curious, almost rever

  • The Royal Mate Of The Cursed Lycan King   What now?

    Aria POVI sat on the bed, unmoving, staring blankly at the rumpled sheets like they might suddenly explain themselves if I glared hard enough. My hands lay limp in my lap, my shoulders slack, my mind absolutely not where my body was.Me.Aria.Pregnant…?The word echoed in my head, heavy and unreal, like someone else’s problem that had accidentally wandered into my life and refused to leave.Uhm, hello? Kaida’s voice cut in, sharp and annoyingly cheerful. You and the Alpha did it raw. Several times. In different places. With enthusiasm. Congratulations, girl—we are pregnant.I clenched my jaw. No, we are not.Denial already? That was fast.“Is it because we did it in different places?” I muttered out loud, eyes still glued to the bed like it had personally betrayed me.Kaida groaned so hard in my head I swear I felt it behind my eyes. Oh goddess above. Do you really know nothing about pregnancy? It’s not geography, Aria. The bed didn’t do this to you.“I have never been pregnant,” I
