Chapter 21: The Queen Returns

We've been back from the witch for two days when she appears.I'm in the garden. Trying to eat something that won't make me throw up. The brothers are in a council meeting I'm too exhausted to attend.Through the bond, I feel them. Frustrated. Angry. Fighting with Vera again probably.Then I feel something else. A disturbance. Like a stone dropped in still water.I look up.A woman is walking through the garden. Alone. No guards. No escort.She's older. Maybe fifty. But beautiful. Regal. Long dark hair streaked with silver. Eyes that look familiar.Too familiar.She stops in front of me. Stares. Her hand goes to her mouth."Gods," she whispers. "You look just like her.""Like who?""Your mother." Tears fill her eyes. "Mira. You look exactly like Mira."My blood goes cold. "How do you know my mother's name?""Because she was my friend. My packmate." The woman's voice breaks. "My sister."The world tilts.Before I can respond, guards rush into the garden. Surround her. Weapons drawn."S

Chapter Twenty Two: Family

That night, I can't sleep.Too many thoughts. Too many feelings. Too much everything.The Queen Mother is alive. She's from my pack. She knew my mother. We're family.I'm related to the brothers. Distantly. But still.My brain won't stop spinning.I give up on sleep around midnight. Slip out of bed carefully. All three brothers are passed out. Exhausted from the day's revelations.I wander the halls. No destination. Just walking.That's when I find her.The Queen Mother is sitting in the garden. Same place we met this morning. Staring at the moon."Can't sleep either?" she asks without turning around."Too much on my mind.""I know the feeling." She pats the bench beside her. "Sit. Talk with me."I do. We sit in silence for a moment."You really knew my mother?" I ask finally."I did. Mira was my best friend from the time we were children." Her smile is sad. "She was fierce. Brave. Always standing up for what was right. Even when it was dangerous.""What was she like? I barely remembe

Chapter Twenty Three: The impossible

Everything is fine for exactly three days.Three peaceful, normal, boring days.Then everything goes to hell.It starts at breakfast. I'm eating eggs. Trying not to throw them up. The Queen Mother is telling stories about when the brothers were children.That's when she walks in.Selene.I drop my fork. It clatters against the plate."What are you doing here?" Damon's voice is ice. "You're supposed to be in exile.""Exile was lifted." Selene's smile is sharp. Victorious. "The council voted. Six to six. Tie goes to the accused. I'm free.""That's not possible.""It is when you have friends in high places." She looks directly at me. "Hello, Sage. You're looking well. Pregnancy suits you."Through the bond, I feel the brothers' rage. They're seconds from violence."Leave," I say. Keep my voice steady. "Now.""I will. In a moment. But first, I have news." Selene's hand goes to her stomach. "I'm pregnant too."The room goes silent."What?" Kieran says."Pregnant. Six weeks along." She smil

Chapter Twenty Four : Exposed

The council chamber is packed. Everyone showed up for this. Every noble. Every ranking wolf. Even some commoners somehow got in. They all want to see the drama. The scandal. The spectacle of two pregnant she-wolves fighting over three princes. I hate every single one of them. Selene sits on one side of the room. Wearing white. Playing innocent. Her hand rests on her barely-there stomach. I sit on the other side. Between Damon and Kieran. The Queen Mother is behind us. Caius stands near the evidence table. Vera calls the meeting to order. "We're here to address Lady Selene's claim. That she's carrying Prince Kieran's child." "It's not a claim," Selene says sweetly. "It's fact. I'm six weeks pregnant. The father is Kieran. We were together at the hunting festival." "You mean when you drugged him?" I can't keep quiet. "When you assaulted him?" Gasps around the room. Whispers. "That's a serious accusation," Vera says. But she doesn't sound surprised. She knew. Of course she kne

Chapter Twenty Five : The Truth

Selene's body is gone by noon.Investigated. Examined. Then burned according to royal custom.The guards find nothing. No weapon. No evidence. Just that message written in her blood."The witch wants her price."We spend the day trying to figure out what it means. Whether the witch killed Selene. Whether this is a threat or a warning.We find nothing.By evening, I'm exhausted. Frustrated. Scared."I need air," I say. "I'm going to the garden.""I'll come with you," Damon starts."No. Please. I just need ten minutes alone. To think." I look at all three of them. "I'll stay in sight. I promise. But I need space."Through the bond, I feel their reluctance. But they let me go.The garden is quiet. Empty. Peaceful.I sit on the bench. Close my eyes. Try to breathe."Hello, child."My eyes snap open.The witch is standing in front of me. Same as before. White hair. Ancient eyes. Appearing out of nowhere."You." I stand. "Did you kill Selene?""No. Though I'm not sorry she's dead." The witc

Chapter 26: Four Months

I wake up surrounded by warmth.Three bodies pressed against me. Three heartbeats. Three sets of steady breathing.For a moment, I forget. Let myself pretend last night didn't happen. That we're still forever. That I don't have an impossible choice looming.Then reality crashes back.Four months. I have four months to choose which one I love most.The thought makes me want to throw up."You're awake." Damon's voice. Quiet. Close."Unfortunately.""Did you sleep at all?""A little. You?""No."Through the bond, I feel the others stirring. Kieran's arm tightens around my waist. Caius's hand finds mine.None of us want to move. Want to face the day. Face what's coming.But we can't stay in bed forever."We should eat," Kieran says finally. "The baby needs food even if we don't want it."He's right. I'm starving despite everything.We drag ourselves out of bed. Get dressed. Move like we're walking through water.In the kitchen, the Queen Mother is already up. Making breakfast. She takes o

Chapter Twenty Seven:

Kieran shows up at my door at noon exactly.He's not wearing his usual royal clothes. Just simple pants, a loose shirt, boots. He looks normal. Human. Like someone I'd meet in a market instead of a palace."Ready?" he asks."Where are we going?""You'll see." He holds out his hand. That easy grin on his face. "Trust me?"I shouldn't. Trusting any of them feels dangerous right now. But I take his hand anyway."Always."We sneak out through the servant's entrance. Guards see us but don't stop us. Damon must have told them to let us go.Outside the palace walls, everything feels different. Freer. Like I can breathe properly for the first time in days."Better?" Kieran asks."Much.""Good. Because we're not going back until tonight." He pulls me toward the city. "I'm kidnapping you for the day. Fair warning.""Some warning. We're already outside.""Would you have come if I'd asked properly?""Probably not.""Exactly. Hence the kidnapping." He squeezes my hand. "Now come on. I have plans."

Chapter Twenty Eight: Under the Stars

We don't go back to the palace right away.Kieran has one more stop. One more place he wants to show me."Where now?" I ask as we walk through the darkening streets."You'll see.""You keep saying that.""Because you keep asking." He grins. "Patience, beautiful.""I'm pregnant and tired and my feet hurt. I'm allowed to be impatient.""Fair point." He stops. "Here. Get on my back.""What?""Piggyback ride. Your feet hurt. I'll carry you.""You can't carry me. I'm pregnant.""You weigh nothing. And I'm an Alpha. I can carry you and ten other pregnant she-wolves if I wanted to." He crouches down. "Come on. Don't be stubborn."I climb on. Carefully. He stands like I weigh nothing at all."Better?" he asks."Much."He carries me through more streets. Out of the city. Into an area with fewer buildings. More trees."Kieran, where are we going?""Almost there."Five minutes later, we reach a wall. Old stone. Covered in vines.He sets me down. Pulls aside the vines. There's a door. Hidden. Anc

Chapter 29

The bathroom floor is cold against my cheek.I've been here twenty minutes. Maybe longer. Lost count after the third round of throwing up everything I've ever eaten.Pregnancy is a nightmare."Sage?" Kieran's voice through the door. "You alive in there?""No.""Can I come in?""Absolutely not."He comes in anyway. Of course he does.I don't even have the energy to throw something at him."You look terrible," he says."Thanks. That helps.""I mean it as a compliment. You make terrible look good." He crouches next to me. "How long have you been in here?""Forever.""The bond says you're lying.""The bond needs to mind its own business."He laughs. Actually laughs while I'm dying on bathroom tile. "Come on. Let's get you up.""No.""Yes.""I'll throw up on you.""I'll risk it." He picks me up anyway. I'm too weak to fight. Too miserable to care.The bedroom door slams open. Damon storms in looking like murder."What the hell are you doing?""Helping," Kieran says."By carrying her around

Chapter 30: The Library

Caius is waiting outside my door at dawn."We're leaving," he says. No good morning. No small talk."Now?""Now.""I haven't even eaten.""I brought food." He holds up a bag. "Get dressed. Something comfortable."I'm too tired to argue. Pull on simple clothes. Follow him through the palace while it's still dark."Where are we going?""You'll see."That's all he says. Through empty corridors. Down stairs I've never seen. To a door hidden behind a tapestry.He opens it.Books. Everywhere. Floor to ceiling. Thousands of them. Old leather spines. Gold lettering. The smell of paper and dust and time."What is this place?""My library." He steps inside. Lights a lamp. "Nobody knows about it. Not even my brothers.""Why show me?""Because you need to know who I really am." He closes the door. "And this is the only place I can be honest."The room is circular. Windows high up. Comfortable chairs worn smooth from use. A fireplace that looks like it's been lit a thousand times."It's beautiful.
