Chapter 61: Paternity Test

~GENEVIEVE’S POV~“Oh, my darling, I’m so glad you’re finally with child.”The voice was like warm honey, but I knew it was covered with venom. I looked up into the face of Elder Mara, the Queen Mother, and saw the cold calculation in her eyes. She reached out, her sharp fingers adorned with heavy gold and patted my hand.I forced my lips into a shy, glowing smile. I played the part of the perfect daughter-in-law. I was the one she had hand-picked to replace the Shadow trash currently rotting in the East Wing.“Thank you, Mother Mara,” I whispered. My voice sounded small and fragile. “The Moon Goddess has truly blessed us.”Inside, my stomach twisted, but not from the pregnancy, but from the secret growing there. Blessed? No. I was a walking time bomb. If Mara knew whose blood was actually in my womb, she would have my head on a spike before the sun went down. But as long as I kept my chin down and my eyes wet with fake tears, I was the future of the Eclipse Pack.Mara leaned back i

Chapter 62

~ELARA’S POV~I sat on a small wooden chair next to the bed, my hands tucked under my thighs to keep them from shaking. I couldn't stop looking at Kael’s wrists. They were wrapped with a thick white bandage, but I could still see the dark stains soaking through. He had told me not to come back.In the Rogue lands, the air was cold and the food was scarce, but we were free. Kael had looked me in the eye and warned me that the Eclipse Pack would only bring more pain. He knew Kairos better than I did. He knew the palace was full of snakes.And I hadn't listened. I had been so desperate to find the truth, so desperate to see the man I thought was my mate, that I had dragged Kael back into his own nightmare. Now he was lying there, looking like a skeleton.I leaned forward, resting my forehead against the edge of the mattress. The smell of medicinal herbs and old blood was heavy in the air.The heir.The words Genevieve had said at me in the hallway kept playing in my head. A royal heir.

Chapter 63: He's My Child!

~GENEVIEVE’S POV~The door to my mother’s chambers had barely clicked shut before I felt like I was going to throw up. The air in the room felt too thick to breathe. I paced the floor, my heels clicking against the stone like a ticking clock.“Did you hear her?” I turned to my mother, Vesper, my voice shaking. “Did you hear what Elder Mara said? A paternity test. Tomorrow. She sat there smiling and drinking tea while she basically handed me a death sentence.”I gripped the back of a chair until my knuckles turned white. My head was spinning. I had played every card perfectly. I had fated the trial, I had fated the pregnancy, and I had managed to lock that Shadow bitch away in the East Wing. Everything was supposed to be mine.“Calm down, Genevieve,” my mother said. She was sitting on the sofa, looking as calm as if we were discussing the weather. “You are acting like a child. Mara is just doing what she has to do to quiet the Council. She’s playing her part.”“Playing her part?” I s

Chapter 64

~ELARA’S POV~The sun felt strange on my skin. It had been so long since I stood out in the open, away from the damp stone of the clinic or the suffocating silence of the East Wing.As Kael and I walked toward the training grounds, I braced myself. I expected the whispers, the sneers and the way people usually pulled their skirts away when the "Shadow freak" passed by. But as we stepped onto the packed dirt of the field, the air changed.The clashing of wooden swords stopped. The heavy grunts of warriors mid-swing died down. One by one, the soldiers turned.They didn't look at me with disgust. They looked at me with something that felt like fear. They had seen what I did during the fight with Alpha Soren. They knew the shadows lived inside me now.“Luna,” one of the younger warriors said, bowing his head quickly.The others followed, a wave of respectful nods rippling through the crowd. It felt fake, but it was better than being spat on. I just nodded back, my jaw tight. I wasn't the
