Abby's POV"Hey! Watch out!” A sharp voice cut through my thoughts, jerking me back to reality. I looked up just in time to see a car speeding toward me. A firm hand seized my arm, pulling me back to the sidewalk. I stumbled, twisting my ankle as I fell onto the pavement. “Arrghh!” I cried out, clutching my throbbing ankle.My heart raced as I turned to face my rescuer. He held my arm firmly, concern etched across his face. “Are you okay?” he asked.“I... I think so,” I stammered, still shaken. “I wasn’t paying attention.”“Clearly,” he said with a nod. “You could have gotten yourself killed.” He released my arm and added, “Just be careful.”I nodded, my mouth opening and closing as I struggled to find words. “Thank you,” I managed to say, but he was already walking away, his back disappearing into the crowd.I had been so lost in the distressing news from my father that I barely noticed the traffic light turn red or the imminent danger. The morning I had begun with a jolt, just like

Abby's POV“Alpha Hayden?,” I whispered, more to myself than anyone else.Hayden’s eyes met mine, sharp and unreadable. A flicker of something passed through them. Curiosity? Annoyance? Or something else? I couldn’t tell.“Thank you for the invitation,” Father said, breaking the tension. He gestured toward my mother. “This is my wife, Luna Marie.”Hayden bowed his head slightly in greeting. “It’s an honor to have you here, ma’am.”Father then turned to my sister and me. "These are my daughters," he continued with a grin. "This is Freya. She has recently achieved notable success within the pack and now holds an important position."Hayden extended a hand, and Freya, glowing in the attention, took it with a confident smile.“Glad to hear it,” he said, offering the barest smile.Then Father turned to me.“And this is Abby,” he said, his voice dipping. “My youngest. I present her for the arranged marriage with all due respect and consideration.”The way he said it. So formal, so final, ma

Abby's POV Since we returned from the gala event, no one has said a word to me. Not even Freya.Well, I shouldn’t be surprised, not after the way I embarrassed myself in front of everyone at the event.Father left early this morning for pack business, as usual. Mother threw herself into wedding preparations like she’s planning some royal coronation, and not her daughter’s sacrifice. And Freya? She’s out there supervising duties with Father’s Beta, acting like the future Alpha already.And me?I spent the day ankle-deep in mud, scrubbing the stables, hauling hay, and cleaning horse stalls with the maids. Technically, it wasn’t even my duty. But ever since I turned eighteen and didn’t shift, Father made sure I never forgot my place. Not even now that my wedding is in a few days.“You can’t stay under my roof, eat my food, and be useless,” he always says.Useless. That word clings to me like filth I can’t wash off.I curled into the couch in the main living room, my muscles aching. I re

Hayden’s POVI still couldn't wrap my head around what happened at the altar today.Valentina pregnant with my child? “That’s absurd.” My blood boiled.I had a one-night stand with her. I was drunk. Careless and stupid. But then, it can't be possible after just one time. "Fuck!" I muttered under my breath.Valentina's father, Mr. Hartman, had been a longtime investor and strategic advisor for my company. If this isn't handled properly, it could destroy everything I’ve spent years building and ruin my reputation. “Damn!” I dragged a hand through my hair.The only thing that could untie the knot twisting tighter in my gut was the paternity test. I’d already asked the pack doctor to handle it personally. I needed answers. Fast.Absent-mindedly, I had led Abby to her room when we got home. I had initially planned for her to stay in mine for some weeks, at least for the sake of formality. But not anymore. Not with this storm hanging over me.I had given instructions to have her things mov

Abby's POV“Oh no…” she whispered, her voice trembling.I stared at the shattered pieces on the marble floor, my stomach twisting into knots.“What have I done?”Maggie crouched quickly, gathering the shards with trembling hands. “Alpha won’t take this lightly,” she muttered, eyes darting toward the door.“I’m sorry, Maggie. I’ll take the blame.”Her head snapped up, eyes wide. “No. How would I even explain why you were helping in the kitchen? He’ll have my head.”I swallowed hard. I had heard stories about how ruthless Hayden could be with his staff. One mistake was enough to get someone fired, or worse. The fear of what he might do when he comes back gripped me just as tightly also.“He doesn’t tolerate carelessness, especially not when it comes to things he values,” Maggie added, voice low.After helping her clean up the shards, I slipped away to my room and collapsed on the magnificent bed. Maggie’s mood was heavy, and guilt gnawed at me for my clumsiness.Hours later, the deep
