Chapter 191 - A Mother’s Crown of ThornsZarina’s POVThe silence in the room was loud.Too loud.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my son. His tiny chest rose and fell slowly. Each breath seemed weaker than the last. His skin was hot to touch, and sweat clung to his forehead. My fingers trembled as I wiped it gently with a cloth for the hundredth time.“Stay with me,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “Don’t leave me, baby. Please.”I didn’t know how long I’d been sitting there. Time stopped meaning anything the moment the healer told us they had tried everything. That nothing was working. That… we should prepare our hearts.Prepare my heart?How do you prepare your heart to watch your child die?I heard the door open behind me. Asher stepped in. His face was pale, his eyes red. He had barely spoken since the healer gave us the news.I looked up at him, swallowing the lump in my throat. “Is there… anything else? Please tell me there’s something we haven’t tried.”He didn’t answe

Chapter 193 – The Weight I CarryAsher’s POVThe moon was high in the sky, watching me like a quiet judge. The wind whispered through the trees, but I didn’t feel peace. I couldn’t. Not after what just happened.Zarina knelt today. My Luna… my mate… knelt to Zaria.And I let her.I stood near the edge of the forest, away from everyone, my heart heavy in my chest. My hands were in fists, my breathing slow and deep. I didn’t want anyone to see me like this—especially not the pack. Not when I was supposed to be the strong Alpha.But tonight… I felt like nothing.How did we get here?How did we get to a place where Zarina, the woman who had been by my side through everything—fights, loss, birth, pain, joy—had to give up her title just so our son could be saved?And the worst part?She did it willingly.She smiled through the pain. Held her head high. But I saw it. I saw the way her eyes dimmed. I saw her hand tremble slightly when she stepped back and let Zaria take her place.I leaned fo

Chapter 195 — The Whispering WallsZarina’s POVThe walls felt thinner these days.Not physically, but emotionally. Like every laugh that didn’t belong to me echoed longer than it should. Like every hushed voice carried a weight heavier than my chest could bear. Something was shifting in the pack. And it wasn’t just me who noticed it.But no one said anything.Because Zaria was graceful. Zaria was polite. Zaria was composed.Too composed.The perfect shadow.She didn’t fight me with claws. No, she did it with charm and whispers. I saw the way some of the older wolves nodded more quickly when she spoke. How the patrol warriors gave her more space, more smiles. Even the women in the market now offered her fresh fruit before I even arrived.At first, I thought it was my mind.But I wasn’t imagining the way they were starting to look at me—like I was the second choice.Like I had been filling in until the “real Luna” returned.I was folding clothes in the living room that morning when I h

Chapter 197 The Final Blow”Zarina’s POVThe morning started with silence.Too quiet.The kind of silence that wrapped around your heart and warned you that something was coming—even if you didn’t know what it was yet.I sat near the window of the small house I’d rented outside the pack borders. It wasn’t much. A single-floor cabin, far from the center of the pack lands. No guards. No servants. Just me, my children, and my broken heart.The triplets were asleep on the couch beside me, their faces peaceful. I envied that peace. I hadn’t known it in weeks. Not since the photo. Not since the whispers. Not since Asher let her near him again.I was sipping warm tea, trying to steady my racing mind, when there was a knock at the door.Not Asher. I knew that knock. This one was… softer. Hesitant.I stood, careful not to wake the children, and walked toward the door.When I opened it, I saw Damon.He looked… nervous.“Can I come in?” he asked.I nodded, stepping aside.He didn’t speak right a

Chapter 199— The Rumor That Broke MeZarina’s POVThe sun had just risen.The golden light slipped through the small curtains of my room, but even the beauty of the morning couldn’t touch the ache in my chest.I sat by the window, one arm wrapped around myself while the other held a warm cup of tea that had already gone cold. The cabin I stayed in was quiet. Too quiet. The triplets were still asleep, curled up in the shared bed behind the divider wall. I could hear their gentle breathing, and it was the only thing keeping me from falling apart completely.I had been gone from the main packhouse for three days.Three long, heavy, painful days since the photo spread.Three days since I saw Zaria’s hand on Asher’s face.Three days since the whispers started.“She’s the true Luna.”“She’s his first love.”“She looks just like Zarina. No wonder he picked Zarina in the first place.”And then, this morning, the newest whisper came like poison through the trees.“She’s pregnant.”I had overhe
