What happened?

Louiza’s POVI barely slept.When the sun shone through the curtain my eyes were already open, staring at the ceiling. The missing ultrasound strip and the pregnancy test stuck to my mind. Someone had been in my room. Someone had taken both evidence of me being pregnant. And that was far from good.I got up, pulled on a sweater, and started searching again, but this time I searched beyond my own room. I went to the guest room Clara had used, opening drawers, checking under the bed, even looking behind the curtains. But there was nothing. Then I walked down the hall to the room Mark had stayed in. I moved slowly, checking the desk, the nightstand, and the small trash bin. I was about to leave when something on the floor near the leg of the bed caught my eye.I crouched down.For a second I just stared at it, my heart pounding against my ribs. I picked it up. The edges were slightly bent, but it was the same one I was looking for.My ultrasound. In Mark’s room.How?I turned i

Did you say something?

Louiza’s POV “What happened?” Xaden asked, his brows slightly followed. His eyes dragged over me. “You seem off.”The question landed heavier than it should have. Maybe because they were right. Right that I've been acting off.Both of them were watching me across the table, and the casual atmosphere from a moment ago was already fading away slowly. Teiran’s usual light expression was now more focused as his gaze held mine. Xaden’s gaze was steady, and he was patient in a way that felt dangerous.I forced my fingers to relax around the fork I had been holding too tightly.“I’m fine,” I said. “Just tired. I didn’t sleep very well.”Teiran tilted his head slightly. “You’ve been tired a lot lately.”“I’ve had a lot on my mind. That's why.”“Like what?” Xaden asked.I reached for my water glass mostly to give myself something to do.“The date, mostly,” I answered. It wasn’t a complete lie. “I keep thinking about it. What it’s supposed to look like. What you two even mean by it.”Teiran’

A gentle kiss

Louiza's POV “Did you say something?”Xaden’s voice stopped me mid-step. I turned halfway, one hand still on the wall for balance, and found both of them standing a short distance down the hallway.Teiran looked curious. Xaden looked focused in a way that felt like he was assessing me“Nothing,” I said quickly. “Just thinking out loud.”Xaden’s gaze lingered on my face for a second longer than necessary l like he was tryna figure something out.Then he gave a small nod.“Go get ready,” he said. “We’ll come for you at six.”I didn’t wait for more questions. I walked the rest of the way to my room with my pulse still elevated, closed the door behind me, and leaned against it for a moment. That was close.Too closeI took a deep breath, shook my head and looked at the dress waiting on the bed.I showered, dried my hair, and put the dress on carefully. It fit me perfectly.When I stood in front of the mirror, the woman looking back at me appeared composed, and lovely. But it was the c

A taste

Louiza’s POV They led me back to the car. And ignited the engine, the car surging forward.The car ride was silent, only the humming sound of the engine was present.By the time we were back they took me to their room saying they wanted to discuss something.The moment the door clicked shut, Xaden’s mouth landed on mine.The kiss started gently but it didn’t stay that way for long.Xaden’s mouth moved against mine slowly, his hand sliding from my jaw into my hair so he could tip my head back and deepen the kiss. A soft sound escaped me before I could stop it. Teiran stepped in behind me, close enough that I felt the warmth of his chest against my back, and then his lips were on the side of my neck, feathering open and wet kisses, right over the old mark that still made my skin too sensitive.“Ahh—”The quiet moan slipped out when Teiran’s teeth grazed the spot. Xaden swallowed the sound, kissing me harder. My hands found the front of his shirt, my fingers curling into the fabric a

Unknown number

Louiza’s POV My eyes flew up, scanning the room.This wasn't my room.For a few disoriented seconds I didn’t remember where I was. Then the heavy arm around my waist shifted, and the solid heat of a second body pressed along my back registered what happened all at once. Xaden’s chest was against my spine. Teiran’s arm was the one draped over me, his hand resting loosely just under my breasts. The sheets were a tangled mess around our legs. My body ached in that deep, satisfied way that made last night come rushing back.Their taste of their mouths, fingers, the way they had taken me apart between them until I couldn’t think.But they didn't take me fully. And I appreciated that because of Dr Hale’s advice.I stayed still, in the bed not ready to break the moment. Morning light filtered through the half-drawn curtains casting golden strips of light across the bed. Xaden’s breathing was slow and even against the back of my neck. Teiran’s thumb moved once in a small, unconscious s

No

My expression changed almost immediately, I couldn't stop it.My expression faded, the smile on my lips faltered. When I looked up, both Xaden and Teiran were still on the other side of the island.Xaden’s gaze sharpened first. “What is it?”“I have to leave for a bit,” I said. The words came out thinner than I wanted.I slid off the stool carefully, my phone still locked in my grip. “I’ll be back.”Teiran’s brows drew together. “Leave where? You look like you’re about to be sick.”“I’m fine.” The lie tasted metallic. “There’s just something I need to handle. It won’t take long.”Xaden set his coffee down with deliberate control. “Handle what?”“Personal things.” I was already moving around the kitchen counter, putting space between us before they could read my expression. My pulse was hammering so hard I was half-convinced they could hear it. On impulse, maybe because part of me needed a direct contact in case everything went wrong, when I went to meet the two women. I leaned down

Saved

“No—!”The scream tore out of me.The darker wolf launched first. I turned to run, but there was nowhere to go, the second wolf had already cut off the path behind me. Paws slammed into my back and drove me hard into the ground. The impact knocked the air from my lungs. I rolled onto my side on pure instinct, curling an arm around my stomach to protect the baby.A snarl ripped through the air above me. Claws raked across my left shoulder and upper arm. I cried out. Blood rushed out instantly, it was warm and wet against my skin. The second wolf lunged in from the side. I tried to scramble backward on my elbows, but my injured arm buckled. Their teeth snapped inches from my face. The smell of their breath was hot and wild.“Stop—please—” The words came out broken, barely audible over their growls. I kicked out blindly. My foot connected with one of their shoulder, but it did nothing. The darker wolf pinned my legs with its weight. The other one raised a clawed paw again, aiming

Why didn't you tell us?

No…no…I couldn't go to the hospital. If I did, they would find out about everything. The babies. The lies. All of it.“There’s no need,” I said, the words coming out sharp and strained as they half-carried me toward the car.Every step sent fresh pain shooting through the claw marks on my shoulder, arm, and side. “Really. I’m not a fan of hospitals. I can’t stand the smell. Just…take me back to the mansion. I can handle it with a few band aids”Xaden didn’t even slow down. “No.”Teiran’s arm stayed locked around my waist, taking most of my weight. “You’re bleeding through your clothes. You’re going.”“I can bear it,” I tried again, a little more desperately. Maybe because my biggest fear was them knowing about the babies. “I’ve had worse. Just let me—”“We're done discussing this.” he said, voice firm and final.They got me into the back of the car. Teiran climbed in beside me and immediately pressed a folded shirt against the worst of the shoulder wounds. I hissed through my teet

What really happened

Why didn’t you tell us?”The question sat heavily in the quiet hospital room.For a second I couldn’t breathe properly. Did they know? Could the doctor have said something?Oh no….this is it.They could throw me out. Or even make my life a living hell for deceiving them.“I didn’t mean to,” I said quickly. The words came out sharp and defensive. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Xaden’s eyes narrowed. Teiran, standing near the foot of the bed, went very still.“Louiza,” Xaden said, his voice low and controlled. “Look at me.”I forced myself to meet his gaze. My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it despite the stitches. Every instinct I had was screaming at me to keep denying.Teiran stepped closer, his expression serious in a way that was different from all the usual teasing. “You can tell us. We’re not asking to trap you. So why didn’t you tell us about the two women before you left?”Wait…it was about the two women.Not the baby.Not the pregnancy.It was just about

The test results.

“Is there another reason those women wanted you gone?”The question hung in the air between us, the weight of the question resting heavy on my shoulders.My pulse jumped so hard I was briefly afraid the heart monitor would give me away. For a second the panic from earlier came rushing back.Could they know? Were they asking because they already know? I forced myself to breathe through my nose and keep my face as steady as I could.I couldn’t tell them the truth. Not now or ever. I couldn't risk everything.So I reached for the only version of the story that still protected the secret.“They were jealous,” I said. My voice came out quieter than I wanted, but at least it didn’t shake. “Of the attention you were both giving me. They made that clear from the beginning. They said things had changed since I arrived. That you two were… distracted. They wanted me gone so things could go back to how they were before.”Teiran’s eyes narrowed slightly. Xaden didn’t move, but the focus in his
