Kieran’s povI walked through the night with my boots making soft sounds against the stone path leading to Alpha Salvatore’s palace. I had taken the long route as I needed to be there later than expected. Besides, knowing the alpha, this was one of his stupid ways of increasing his powers. By sending me useless errands that he didn’t want to send some of his dignified guards.Salvatore had the tendency to piss someone off and he was very good at doing that. The only issue here was that I wasn’t in the good mood of moving around with him.Peace and quiet was all I needed, not him sending me in his stupid errands that made me want to slice him up in half.I needed my head clear for how to get my child. Unfortunately when dealing with a sociopath like that alpha, the best you could do was listen to him and not talk.Plus I didn’t want him mad to the point of dragging me here with his guards. That would be embarrassing.I had a reputation to uphold.I got to the gate as the guards at the

Kieran’s povI slowly looked up and saw Sirella walking into the dining hall.Her face was angry. Her steps were slow, but powerful. She didn’t look afraid. She didn’t look weak. She looked more like a pissed off mother whose child was taken from her. That was exactly what she looked like.She was taking no prisoners today. She was pissed and she was ready to show that no one would take her down.I started to fear for her sake.Salvatore was a mad man. He wouldn’t care what happened to anyone as long as he had his goal reached. My heart pounded within me as I wondered how she had come here. Why was she here?She smiled at me. “It’s fine.”But I wished I could say the same to her, it wasn’t fine.She was calm for some odd reason but I was scared for all our safety.I had no idea what was going to happen next. Would Salvatore wage war on me or would he kill the child? I didn’t know. But all I knew was that he wasn’t happy and that meant our lives were in danger.Sirella turned to the

Salvatore’s povI got into my study and started to pace around as I could feel my anger rising within me.How did I let this happen? How did this even happen under my nose and I didn’t see this coming?I had not been humiliated like that before. And what was with that weird strength of hers? She just showed up and started showing signs of exceeding strength and aura. I was angry. My chest was tight. My own daughter… Sirella… she stood in front of the entire court and said that child was hers. And the father? It had to be Kieran. That traitor. That Gamma dog I trusted.I growled as I didn’t know what to do.Who did he think he was to act like that without getting permission from me.I was the alpha damn it!The door opened slowly. My advisers came in, one by one, heads low.“My Alpha,” one of them said softly.I didn’t look at him. “Tell me what to do. I am losing my patience. I am losing my mind.”They looked at each other, not speaking.Now I was losing my patience. Why were they my

Kieran’s povI walked over and knelt beside the bed.“Sirella,” I said gently, “you are not weak. You are not a failure. You are a mother. You did what you could. And now, I will do what I must.”She turned to face me.“What do you think I can do. He’s the Alpha. He controls everything. He killed my mother. He planned everything. And now… now he has my child.”I clenched my jaw.“I know. I know what he said. But I also know something else. He didn’t plan for that child. He didn’t see it coming. That child is not just a baby, Sirella. He is our hope. Our reason to fight. I will not sit here and do nothing.”She sat up and looked at me fully now.“What do you want to do? Just tell me.”I took her hands in mine.“First, you rest. You’re tired. Your body and your heart need to rest. Let me think. Let me plan. I promise you, I will bring him back.”She sighed. “You promise?”I nodded.“With everything in me.”She sighed and looked down as I leaned in and kissed her cheeks. I didn’t like

Salvatore’s povI was seated in my room with the baby going in my arms.I smiled at him faintly. He was sleeping peacefully, but I knew the world around him wasn’t peaceful. Not anymore. This child was more than a baby. He was power, blood and future. And he now belonged to me.I rocked him gently as I murmured against his earlobe,” You’re safe here now little one. With me . I’ll raise you… and you will grow stronger than all of them”Suddenly, the door burst open. I glanced up in surprise to see the witch. She hurried inside and looked very anxious. “Alpha Salvatore,” she pleaded, “I didn’t mean for it to go so far. Please, just give me the baby. This wasn’t supposed to happen.”I looked at her as I ground my teeth and raised one brow. “You come here, into my home, into my pack territory, to take what’s mine. What makes you think I’ll stand by and take that?”“Please,” she said fearfully, barely loud enough for me to hear it. “I just wanted to protect myself and it’s selfish. Don’t
