LOGINSELENA’S POV“What?” My eyes widened at his statement. “Is that necessary?” “You heard the doctor, you don't have your wolf, so I have to be close to make the baby feel secure,” he explained, and I nodded in understanding. “Take us to the shopping mall.” He ordered the driver.I turned to him with a confused look. “Why are we going to a shopping mall?” “Did you bring any of your belongings from Lunaroria?” He asked with raised eyebrows.I kept quiet, which gave out my answer, and he turned to look out the windows. My eyes didn't look away from him as I realised how I had turned a person who was warm and caring toward me to a cold and distant person.He wouldn't even be here with me if I was not pregnant. I was not sure of what to do for him to forgive me. Seeing that he was willing to take me shopping and asking me to move into the room, maybe I could use that to get closer to him again. If he sees how sincere I was this time, maybe he would give me a second chance. I was already
SELENA’S POVAs we arrived at the hospital, I was led to the gynecologist office. The female doctor did a scan and an ultrasound check, I couldn't hold my tears back when I heard my baby's heartbeat.Lucian who was sitting beside me held my hand tight and I glanced at him to see him trying to stop the tears forming in his eyes from falling.After the check up, Doctor Gwen motioned for us to sit. Her blue eyes drifted back and forth between us with a knowing smile tugging her lips.“Congratulations, both of you,” she said, her voice rich with warmth. “She's one month along. This is when the pup’s aura is as fragile as moonlight on water. You must guard it carefully.”Lucian nodded. “What do we have to do?” “First, no shifting. Not until after the fifth month. The first trimester is when the womb’s energy is still binding to the pup’s spirit. One careless transformation could loosen that bond.”I swallowed hard and glanced at Lucian whose eyes were fixed on the doctor as he listened at
ELIRA'S POVThe room was filled with Alphas, Betas and Gamma of all the seven packs of Lunaroria and the Council members. They sat stiffly with their expressions hard and brimming with concern.A thick tension hung in the air of the throne room, as though the walls themselves held their breath, waiting for the fire to erupt.I sat beside Caius, my hand resting lightly on the glided armrest of his throne. His face bore a neutral expression but I could feel the flicker of hesitation which was subdued by my compelling powers on him. He has become easier to control these days.“Your Majesty,” Alpha Corwin of the Blood moon pack stood up. “We agreed to accommodate the Umbraeth and share technology and knowledge with them but our patience is wearing thin. They are beginning to dominate our businesses and taking over. Our people are forced to compete with them on things that are rightfully ours.”The orders murmured and nodded in agreement.Beta Raynor of Redmoon Pack stood next. “They are g
LUCIAN’S POV “A shapeshifter witch?” King Aldric raised his eyebrows. “I thought they had gone extinct.” “Well, they didn't and Elira is one of them.” I argued. King Aldric leaned back in his chair. “The last Shapeshifter was killed in a confrontation with a Seer. No one saw it happen but we all assumed that the Seer killed her because she was spreading rumours that she found out the identity of the Family line of the Seer of Lunaroria. She was found dead the day before she planned to reveal it. If Elira is a shapeshifter witch, she must be her daughter and probably the last of her kind.”The Seers are keen on hiding their identity, so it made sense that someone from my mom's family would actually silence her to keep their identity hidden.“Is there a special way to defeat a shapeshifter witch?” Rowan asked. “The shapeshifters are the most dangerous and deceitful but at the same time they are the easiest to defeat,” King Aldric replied, making all of us look at each other in confu
LUCIAN’S POV “How do you feel about becoming a father?” Xavier asked as he walked into the war room and perched on the edge of the table opposite me.I had come in here to distract myself but It didn't help much as my mind kept drifting back to Selena being pregnant. It was obvious that we were not emotionally ready to have a baby.“I've always loved the idea of being a father. That's one reason why I was eager to find my mate. I wanted to start a family with her,” I answered honestly. “But the timing is not really right.”He nodded in understanding. “I get it. With the whole Elira's drama and what went down between the two of you, it might be a bit inconvenient.”A sigh escaped my lips as I leaned into my chair. “You know, Talia's words almost made me question if the child is actually mine but then I thought about it and I had this great conviction that it couldn't be true. I can't explain why but I just feel like it.” He stared at me in silence before he finally said with a big sm
LUCIAN’S POV“What?” I blinked. “Selena is pregnant?” “Yes, Your Highness.” He grinned from ear to ear. “I'm not certain how far along she is but it's still in a very early stage. To avoid any complications, I might need you to bring her to the hospital tomorrow for a proper check up.” “Okay.” I nodded and the doctor left.Selena's mother rushed into the room with Darcy and Isabella while I remained on my spot. I didn't know what to think.This was supposed to be a happy moment for Selena and I but with our relationship hanging by a thread, I didn't think it was the right time to be expecting a baby.“What are you planning to do?” Beta Joshua turned to me. “I know you and Selena are not really on good terms right now but she can't handle the burden of having a baby on her own.”A sigh escaped my lips as I kept my gaze on the door. “It might not be the right timing but it's still my child. I have to take responsibility for her and the child,” I replied and he nodded.“You don't even
LUCIAN’S POV‘You smell like Lucian. I don't like that.’ A voice I could recognize from anywhere said, and I blinked in confusion. ‘I had to do it. It was the only way to get information from him.’ Selena replied in the voice recording.‘It doesn't matter as long as you will get to be by my side w
LUCIAN’S POV “Who are you guys?” I asked the masked guys sitting in the helicopter, which Rowan and I were being transported in. “Are you from Ardyth? Who sent you here and how do you know to come here?” One of the masked guys opened his face, and I recognised him as the head guard in the Ardyth
CAIUS'S POVStill on the ground, I laughed out loud, seeing Lucian so helpless and watching Rowan and the rest of their Soldiers get captured by new soldiers that arrived. ‘What about Selena? She's in danger.’ My wolf, Lex, reminded me. He had always been in disagreement with me since I rejected
SELENA’S POV That evening, I lay on the bed, looking out the window to watch the sun setting. Lucian would be carrying out his plans when night falls. Once he fails, I would be free from the fake mate bond and everything would go back to how it was supposed to be. I should be happy about that, ri
