A gasp pierced the air. It wasn't only the council members— even the soldiers and journalists appeared utterly shocked. The atmosphere became heavy with tension as the impact of the revelation hit them.I didn't know who had brought the reporters with them, but I had a bad feeling that it was Layla. She had set this all up, arranging the best possible time to reveal my son's identity. And now, in a second, there were flashes of cameras like lightning, reporters converging on Rick and me like pack wolves."Luna Bella, is this true? Do you have a child before being mated to the Alpha King?The question pierced the commotion like a knife. I was quiet, my heart racing in my chest."Alpha Rick, do you know that the Alpha Prince Edsel is not your son? Are you able to share your thoughts on that?"The room descended into pandemonium once again. The disclosure had toppled the core of the pack. The burden of so many secrets outed in open view sent a shiver of tension through the room. Soldiers shif

We both spun around.Georgina was on the stairs, her face contorted with resentment, so she looked like a ghostly apparition haunting the darkened hallway. Her pointed stare focused on Cole's hand holding me by the elbow, and she spoke again, voice full of suspicion, "I heard a noise, so what exactly are you two doing?"Cole swallowed hard, his fingers trembling before he suddenly released me, backing away as if scorched. "Nothing," he replied hastily, too hastily. "We were just talking some business stuff."A bitter laugh, icy and harsh, slipped from my lips. "What a coward," I said under my breath. One moment, he was telling me how sorry he was to have left me. The next, he was frantically covering his tracks the instant Georgina showed up. Pathetic.Georgina rushed downstairs, her silk nightdress flowing behind her as she held on to Cole's arm for dear life. "Bella," she said sweetly, with a voice that dripped with false kindness. "I know despite five years apart, you still feel somet

Lilet POV Two days later, the pack house was filled with a buzz of excitement. Music and laughter filled the air as the grand hall was bursting with guests, all gathered to celebrate.I hardly had a chance to catch my breath.I darted between the tables, pouring glasses of wine, as the other omegas scurried to deliver dinner. My legs throbbed, but I gritted through the fatigue, aware I couldn't risk a moment's delay.And then, out of nowhere, a voice appeared in my head."Hi, I'm Star."I went rigid in mid-step, almost dropping the silver tray I was holding. My heart raced.My wolf.Excitement overwhelmed me. I had to be by myself, think this through, and speak with her. I did not hesitate, and I rushed to my little room next to the kitchen, close to the main pack house. My hands shook when I grabbed for the door, my thoughts blurring in a thousand directions."Nice meeting you, Star," I mouthed to myself, a small smile forming on my lips.In my haste, I had forgotten all about the rest of it

Lilet's POV"Everyone! One of my princesses has come back!" my father's loud voice boomed, his declaration rattling the air around us. My father took my hand and gave a small speech, and I had never been so loved as I was at that very moment. Multicolored flowers were adorning everywhere around us.A deafening shout split the air as the rogues cheered, their laudations ringing across the camp. My father, the King of Rogues.The language still sounded strange to me. Everything here was new, foreign. I had lived my life believing that I was nothing more than an orphaned omega, discarded and unwanted. And yet, here I was, sitting next to a man who insisted that I was his daughter.An omega approached, carrying a plate packed full of food. My stomach tightened. I didn't know if I could possibly finish it, but by God, I was going to try.The first bite dissolved in my mouth, rich and full of flavor in a way that I had never known before. For the first time in a very long time, I felt. safe. W

Rick was just as shocked as me when he heard that neither David nor the second baby was Cole's. But what happened next took me completely by surprise.For a brief moment, he was silent, his brows furrowed as he processed the revelation. Then, without warning, he suddenly burst into laughter.Not just any laugh.This was the type of laughter that caused you to toss your head back, type of laughter that shook through your whole body until your stomach ached. I never had seen him laugh so before. And to be honest, I've never seen him laugh this way since.I stood there, shocked."What's so funny?" I asked, perplexed.Rick wiped away a tear from the edge of his eye, his smile still broad as he framed my face with his hands. His hands were warm, firm, anchoring me even as my world righted itself."Your idiot ex-husband," he said, chuckling with his head. "He's such a fucking joke! That woman has him wrapped around her little finger, and he doesn't even have a clue. But you know what? I'm g
