Semua Bab Once His Mate, Now His Rival: Bab 1 - Bab 5

On the bustling night streets of Duskdale, Amber Cross made her way home from the hospital, a bright smile stretching across her face as she held a brown envelope tightly against her chest.The doctor’s words echoed joyfully in her mind, “Congratulations, Mrs. Cross. You’re two weeks pregnant!”Amber let out a soft squeal of happiness, her fingers trembling with excitement as she gently rubbed her stomach.As Luna of the Silver Moon Pack, humiliation had always been part of the package. Married to Alpha Damon—heir to a billion dollar empire and leader of one of the most powerful packs in the region. Yet, in the eyes of the pack members, she was still just a lowly omega who married up.And Damon?He had never truly loved her.The only reason he agreed to the marriage was the mate bond. There was no affection. No warmth. Just duty.But now, with this pregnancy coming her way, Amber couldn't help but hope it might change everything.Her heart pounded as she reached the pack house.With a

Silence crashed over the room.Then gasps.Alpha Damon turned to Amber, his eyes dark as coals, and barked, “How could you?

I did not kill Father! I’m being framed!”Her screams drew the attention of the pack, and soon the council room filled with members.Th

Inside the chamber, the air was thick with pain, fear, and the scent of blood and incense.Alpha Damon sat by Bella’s side, gripping her hand tightly. She lay sprawled across the bed, her body wracked with labor pains, her face slick with sweat.“Everything will be fine,” Damon whispered, his voice low, reassuring. “You’ll be alright.”But his eyes betrayed him—sharp with worry, rimmed with sleeplessness.Suddenly, the doors burst open.A maid hurried in, followed closely by the midwife. Damon surged to his feet, rage flashing in his eyes.“What the hell took you so long?” he snapped. His voice cracking across the room like a whip.The midwife flinched but didn’t stop moving. “Forgive me, my Lord. I... I was with Mis
