Hazel POVThe safe house had become our strange new reality.Days passed in a quiet rhythm that felt both comforting and suffocating. Mom spent long hours in the garden, her hands deep in the rich soil as she coaxed flowers back to life. She said the work reminded her of better times, before Dad left and money became a constant worry. Lucas had claimed the game room as his own, spending hours rebuilding his strength on the expensive equipment. He laughed more now, but the bruises on his face and ribs were still fading reminders of how fragile our safety really was.I moved between them like a shadow, trying to hold everything together while my own body fought me at every turn.The pregnancy was getting harder to hide.Mornings were the worst. I woke before dawn, rushing to the private bathroom attached to my bedroom. The nausea came in violent waves that left me shaking and weak. Some days I could barely keep down water. My belly had grown rounder, impossible to disguise under loose s

Hazel POVThe safe house had become our strange new world.It was hard to believe that only a few weeks ago we had been living in our small, peeling house with creaky floors and thin walls. Now we were surrounded by marble, soft lighting, and views that stretched for miles. The garden alone was bigger than our entire backyard used to be. Mom had already planted flowers along the stone paths. Lucas spent hours in the game room or the small gym, slowly rebuilding his strength. Maria, the kind housekeeper, made sure we never wanted for anything.On the surface, we had everything.But I had never felt more trapped.I stood on the wide balcony that overlooked the lighted garden, the cool night air brushing against my skin. My hand rested on my rounded belly. The baby was active tonight, kicking steadily as if reminding me that life kept moving forward even when I felt stuck. The simple maternity dress I wore could no longer hide how far along I was. Four months. Time was slipping away fast

Alpha Asher POVThe Royal Palace felt colder than usual that evening.I stood in the center of the Grand Council Chamber, the long marble table between me and the three most powerful figures in my life. Grandmother Elara sat at the head like a queen on her throne, her silver hair gleaming under the chandeliers. My father stood to her right, jaw tight with barely contained fury. My mother sat to her left, her elegant features sharp with disappointment.The air was thick with tension. Servants had been dismissed. Only the immediate family remained.Grandmother spoke first, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade.“You have humiliated this family, Asher. Not only did you abandon your duty at the altar, but you publicly claimed a lowborn girl and her unborn child in front of the entire world. The Voss alliance is in ruins. Our borders are vulnerable. And you stand here as if you have done nothing wrong.”I kept my posture straight, hands clasped behind my back. “I did what was

Alpha Asher POVThe Grand Council Chamber felt smaller than usual that morning, the high ceilings and marble walls closing in like a cage. I stood at the center of the long table, facing the three people who had shaped my entire life. Grandmother Elara sat at the head like a living monument to Royal power, her silver hair pulled back severely, her eyes sharp as daggers. My father stood to her right, arms crossed, face flushed with barely contained rage. My mother sat to her left, elegant and cold, watching me with the same disappointment she had worn since the wedding disaster.No servants. No advisors. Just the immediate family and the crushing weight of centuries of tradition.Grandmother spoke first, her voice calm but laced with steel.“You have had sufficient time to reflect, Asher. The council is losing patience. The Voss family is threatening to withdraw military support and open the eastern borders to raids. Our pack is already feeling the strain. All of this because you refu

Alpha Asher POVThe Royal Palace felt like enemy territory that evening.I walked into the Grand Council Chamber alone, the heavy doors closing behind me with a final thud. The long marble table stretched before me like a battlefield. Grandmother Elara sat at the head, her silver hair pulled back severely, her eyes cold and calculating. My father stood to her right, arms crossed, face flushed with barely contained fury. My mother sat to her left, elegant and distant, watching me with sharp disappointment.No servants. No advisors. Just the immediate family and the crushing weight of centuries of expectation.Grandmother spoke first, her voice calm but laced with steel.“You have pushed us too far, Asher. The Voss family has withdrawn all support. Raids on the eastern borders have already begun. Pack resources are strained. The council is demanding action. You will end this relationship with Hazel Hudson immediately and return to your duty.”I stood tall, hands clasped behind my back.
