Celine’s pov. I didn’t tell Kaine everything the next morning. Not because I didn’t trust him. But because I didn’t want the fear I saw in his eyes lately to grow deeper.I only said, “It spoke to me.”He paused mid-bite of his breakfast roll and slowly set it down. “The magic?”I nodded.His hand reached for mine immediately. “Is it hurting you?”“No. But I think it’s asking me to choose something. Or to finish something that started with my father.”Kaine studied me for a long moment, then brushed a kiss across my knuckles. “Then we’ll find out what that is. Together.”The week went on. I met with the council. I trained with the guards. Kaine made sure we laughed every day. He brought me wildflowers after meetings, even if I had no idea where he got them. Once, he kidnapped me from a council session to have a moonlit picnic beside the lake, complete with wine, berries, and a small loaf of bread that we both agreed was “mildly cursed.”“You know you’re not normal,” I said, laughing

Celine’s pov. The news changed everything, and somehow, nothing. Kaine ordered the healers to check on me daily without overwhelming me, and a protective glint settled permanently in his eyes. He still let me attend council meetings, but there was always a hand on my lower back, always a warm glance across the room.I was still Queen. Still Luna. But now I was also something smaller and softer and infinitely more powerful. I was a mother. And the baby inside me? Already, I could feel them—not with kicks or movement, but with something else. A thrum. A quiet connection, like the flame inside me had woven a new thread.Oscar insisted on knitting baby booties. I didn’t have the heart to tell him they were wildly lopsided. My father’s name hadn’t come up in days, but I knew it would. We hadn’t solved the mystery of the cave or the magic or the reason I’d been chosen to carry this legacy. But in the stillness between storms, something beautiful had begun to bloom.Kaine held me one night

Kaine’s pov. The moon was high when I left the war room, but I hadn’t heard a single word spoken in the last half hour. A dream that didn’t feel like a dream at all.She had whispered it like a secret meant for the stars: “I think I saw our child.”A wolf like me, feared and hardened by bloodshed, should not be so easily undone. But the memory of her voice saying those words had shaken something loose in me. Something raw. Something I didn’t know I was still capable of feeling. Hope!By the time I made it to our villa, the packhouse had quieted. Even the guards outside had gone still, sensing my mood and wisely choosing silence. Inside, the lighting was low. The scent of jasmine and wild pine hung in the air—Celine. She was curled up beneath the furs, her breathing soft and even, but I could tell she wasn’t truly asleep. Not with how tense her spine looked beneath the sheets. Not with how her energy shifted the moment I stepped through the doorway.I peeled off my coat and stepped i

Kaine’s pov. I leaned back in the chair, still holding her hand, and stared at the ceiling. How the hell was I supposed to tell her? How could I look into those eyes and be the one to destroy the fragile joy I’d seen blooming in her lately?She’d been so scared, yet so hopeful. I could still hear her voice from just days ago: “Alright. We’ll do it together.”And now… this. No. I couldn’t tell her now. Not while she was like this. Not while her body was still reeling from the trauma, and her magic—still calm, thankfully, it remained wrapped tight around her like a protective cocoon. I had to wait. I had to be strong for both of us.I called Oscar out into the hall a while later. His expression was tight, guarded.“No one says anything,” I told him quietly. “Not until I speak with her. I’ll tell her myself, when the time is right.”He hesitated but nodded. “Understood.”“And the staff—”“I’ll handle them,” he said. “No one breathes a word.”“Thank you.”We returned to the room, and I s

Celine’s pov. I should have known something was wrong. The dream, the sickness, the way his eyes lingered too long when I wasn’t looking. The way Oscar avoided me. The way Kaine clung to me like I might vanish. I thought he was being sweet. Instead, he was shielding me from the one thing I had every right to know.A life had been growing inside me. Our child. And I never even got to say hello. Now I would never get to say goodbye either. I walked away and headed for our bedroom. I didn’t care if he was following me or not, but obviously, he was.Once we got to the bedroom, he reached out for me, but I took two steps back.“Celine?” His voice.I closed my eyes. I couldn’t handle this. Not now. Not tonight.“Go away,” I whispered, but it came out hollow, without heat.“I just want to talk,” Kaine said softly. “Please.”I turned slowly, one hand gripping the window ledge. “You’ve done enough talking, Kaine. You decided I didn’t need to know. You made that choice for me.”He stepped insi
