All Chapters of PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

MILLIE'S POVThe moment I stepped outside, the world erupted. Camera flashes sparked against my skin. Voices collided into a wall of noise; shouting my name, shouting questions, shouting accusations. The air was thick with heat and dust, carrying the sharp scent of trampled grass and too many bodies pressed too close.For a second, the old version of me…the girl who used to flinch at raised voices…stirred.But she didn't own me anymore.I kept walking.The security guards rushed forward, forming a barrier, but I lifted a hand. "Let them."The moment I stepped past the guards, the crowd surged closer, microphones thrust toward my face."Millie-Rose Harvey! Is it true you faked your death?""Where have you been for four whole years?""Who is the father of your son?""Are the rumors true about Mr. Gothan? Is he controlling you?""Is Martha pressing charges?""Why come back now?"They wanted chaos. They wanted fear. They wanted the weak girl they thought they'd destroyed.I gave them no

ALPHA BRAHAM'S POVAfter breakfast, which I'd cooked while Millie watched like she couldn't quite believe an Alpha knew his way around a stove, Leo disappeared upstairs and came back with paper and colored pencils."The dragon!" he announced, spreading everything on the coffee table.We gathered around as he drew with surprising skill for a three-year-old. The shapes were crude but recognizable…a small human figure that looked weak and helpless. Then, beside it, something larger. A figure that looked like a wild dog.Or...My blood went cold.That wasn't just any creature. The proportions, the stance, the way he'd drawn the features…It was a wolf."That's very good, baby," Millie said, but her voice was tight. Her knuckles were white where she gripped the edge of the table."The dragon-man protected us!" Leo said proudly. "He was strong and brave and he made the bad people go away."Callie and Renan exchanged glances. They saw it too.Leo was dreaming about wolves. About shifting. Ab

MILLIE'S POVBraham watched as I undid each button, his eyes tracking every movement of my fingers. By the time I reached the last one, his breathing had gone ragged."Let me," he said, his voice barely above a growl.He brushed my hands aside and parted the fabric slowly, like unwrapping something sacred. When my skin was exposed to him, he just looked at me for a long moment."You're so beautiful," he murmured. "I thought I remembered, but this..." His fingers traced along my collarbone, feather-light. "You're even more perfect than I dreamed."Heat flooded through me at his words, at the reverence in his touch."I need to see you too," I said, tugging at his shirt.He pulled it off in one smooth motion, and I let myself look. Really look.Four years ago, I'd been too nervous, too overwhelmed to fully appreciate him. But now…Gosh.He was all hard muscle and golden skin, and I wanted to trace every line with my tongue."Touch me," he said, as if reading my mind.I did.I ran my hand

MILLIE'S POVCallie found me in the kitchen an hour after they'd returned from the park, staring at a cup of tea I'd forgotten to drink."So," she said, hopping up onto the counter. "You slept with him."I nearly dropped the cup. "Callie!""What? It's obvious." She gestured vaguely at me. "You're glowing. Your hair's a mess. And you have that look.""What look?""The 'I just had incredible sex and my entire world shifted' look." She grinned. "I've seen it before. Usually in movies, but still."My face burned. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Liar." She tilted her head, studying me. "How do you feel?"I opened my mouth to give some flip answer, then stopped. This was Callie. I didn't have to pretend with her."Terrified," I admitted quietly. "And happy. And confused. All at once.""That sounds about right." She reached over and squeezed my hand.I took a breath. "I told him I'm staying. At least for now. Until I figure out my next move.""Your next move?""The inheritance. Th

MILLIE-ROSE'S POVIt had been almost one week since Lionel and I returned and started living with Braham, and I hadn't started doing anything I'd planned when I decided to come home.Braham wanted me to rest and strategize before taking action. He wanted me to move when no one expected it, so for now I just had to let them think I was coming and watch them wait in vain.It was a great strategy, and I loved it.I'd been in the house since then, and it felt like forever. Braham didn't pressure me for anything, and whenever we needed something, he went out with Lionel.Their father-son bonding was going well, even though we still hadn't told Leo that Braham was his father."Braham, we need to get some things," I said while he was playing video games with Leo. "I don't know how you men live, but that's not how things are done in real life.""Yes, your majesty." He said it playfully, not even looking away from the screen. "Tell us whatever you want and your men will get it for you before y
