Kate’s P.O.V.Jace and council meeting?What was he up to now?This question hammered my head as I rushed toward the meeting hall as fast as my omega feed could, tension tightening my chest. It was finally the day of my mating ceremony, and this sudden meeting… it didn’t feel right at all.By the time I reached the meeting hall, my heart was hammering against my ribs. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door, the cold air greeting me.The atmosphere inside was suffocating.Osiris sat at the center table, his face expressionless. He might have looked like a completely composed alpha, but I could feel his tension through our bond.The stern faces of Alpha Rowan and others weren't different from him, screaming danger. I was about to greet everyone when Jace smiled. He spoke casually.“Come on in, Kate. We have all been waiting for you.”My stomach twisted. There was something so suspicious about Jace’s attitude that it rang ominous bells inside my head. I looked toward Osiris instincti

Kate's P.O.V.“What the fuck?”The words exploded out of my mouth before I could stop them.My chair scraped loudly against the floor as I shot to my feet.“Are you out of your damn mind, Jace?”Shock rippled through the hall. Even Alpha Rowan looked stunned.Osiris rose beside me instantly. His dangerous growl vibrated through the room.“How dare you utter such nonsense about my mate, Alpha Jace?”His Alpha aura rolled across the hall, rattling the windows. His voice was cold enough to freeze.“Kate is my mate. I am the father of her pups.”Unlike us, Jace remained infuriatingly calm, almost as if this was precisely what he wanted.Alpha Rowan’s face darkened. He spoke in a grave tone.“This is a serious allegation, Alpha Jace. You cannot make such claims without evidence.”Jace nodded solemnly.“Of course, Alpha. I understand completely.”Then he gestured toward his Beta.“That is exactly why I didn't mention this matter during the previous hearing.”His Beta stepped forward carryin

Kate's P.O.V.I hated Jace.I truly, sincerely hated him.The beautiful white gown hanging on the mannequin blurred through my tears as I sat on the edge of the bed.Just this morning, I had imagined walking down the aisle. I had believed my life was finally moving forward.And now… the ceremony was cancelled just because of that bastard.Groaning, I buried my face in my hands.“Why, Goddess? Why?”The more I thought about it, the clearer Jace's plan became.He had walked straight into that meeting and spoken the elders' language, mentioning everything they valued—traditions, old laws, pack honor, and pure bloodlines.It was like he prepared a speech about everything they wanted to hear.And when they were paying full attention, he dragged my past into the light and handed them the perfect excuse to hate me more.I wrapped my arms around myself as his threat replayed in my head.“You will come back to me willingly, Kate.”Jace had done it.He had put a question mark over my pups, dest

Kate's P.O.V.I was rooted to my spot!My eyes swept across the breathtaking scene before me, unable to process what I was seeing.The massive garden had been transformed into a gorgeous venue.White curtains fluttered softly beneath the full moon. Thousands of fairy lights illuminated the night like fallen stars. Fresh flowers decorated every pathway, every arch.At the center stood a beautiful stage draped in silver and ivory.For a moment, I genuinely wondered if I had walked into another world.My lips parted in a silent gasp.“Am I dreaming?”However, Bella slipped the shawl from my shoulders, making me realize it was real.My mate standing before me was real!Osiris stood tall in his alpha glory a few steps away. A white suit hugged his broad frame while a black tuxedo jacket rested perfectly on his shoulders, moonlight dancing across his dark hair.Goddess, he was unfairly handsome.His smile was bright and as fresh as spring daisies as he slowly stepped toward me.“Welcome to

Kate’s P.O.V.Osiris’s deep whisper broke through my defenses, unleashing a wave of emotion I could no longer contain. Tears blurred my vision, hot and fast, burning my eyes. I pressed a trembling hand to my lips, completely overwhelmed by the raw honesty of his confession.“Osiris…”Unable to even a simple ‘I love you too’ in response, I moved forward and buried my face against his chest.Months of fear, pain, loneliness, and rejection—all of it came rushing out, rolling down my eyes as tears.Osiris wrapped his hands around me, his embrace protective.He kissed my hair.“You don't have to say anything, My Moon. Just look around.”I slowly raised my head, and the crowd smiled back at me. Osiris's voice deepened.“They can deny you a formal title. But no one can deny what you have become, My Moon.”He gestured toward the audience.“A true leader lives in people's hearts. And you have already achieved that.”Surrounded by warmth and affection, I realized that this pack truly was my h

Kate’s P.O.V.When we finally returned to our room, I felt as if every muscle in my body had declared a strike.The ceremony had been magical, and it had been the happiest day of my life… But it was also the most exhausting one.The moment the bedroom door closed behind us, I let out a long sigh and practically collapsed onto the couch.“Oh, Goddess…”I leaned my head back against the cushion and closed my eyes.My swollen feet throbbed and my lower back ached, even breathing feeling like work after standing for hours.I heard Osiris moving around the room before disappearing into the bathroom, but I had no energy left to ask him anything.He was probably preparing for bed too.A few peaceful minutes passed. And then, I felt that couch dipped beside me. I didn’t bother to open my eyes as Osiris’s manly scent waltzed into my nose, his warmth grounding me. But when his gentle fingers gathered my hair behind my shoulders, I slowly parted my eyelids. Osiris had somehow found my hair tie

Kate's P.O.V.No answer!My eyes widened as the other side of my bed was empty. I instinctively reached toward it and found out the sheets were completely cold.“Seriously?”I slapped my hand against the empty mattress.“You damn blackmailer. You tucked me into bed like the perfect husband, then disappeared to your mistress the moment I fell asleep.”Frustration clawed at my chest as I pouted at the empty pillow.“Your damn work!”Of course, Osiris had responsibilities. He still had to prepare the Wild Prowlers Pack's official response for the council regarding my case.It wasn’t that I didn't understand that. But that didn’t mean I had to like it too.Feeling dejected, I turned over, determined to go back to sleep. However, the smell returned, stronger this time. It invaded my senses so sharply that my stomach twisted.I covered my nose.“What on earth…”In the past two months, my sense of smell had become ridiculously sharp because of pregnancy. The other day, I smelled Kayla from a

Chapter 88

Osiris's P.O.V.I had faced rogue armies.I had stood against warriors twice my size.I had buried my own fears long before I became Alpha. Yet none of those battles prepared me for the woman sitting in front of me.Kate's sharp eyes refused to leave mine. It wasn't anger that unsettled me, but certainty. Like she already knew the truth.“My Moon…” I began carefully. “It must be a misunderstanding…”She crossed her arms over her chest.“No more lies, Alpha Snowflake.”Her voice carried an unfamiliar firmness. Something about it… made Ace lift his head immediately.He commented. “She's different tonight.”I ignored his commentary and focused on the task at hand.“I already told you, My Moon. It was a rogue attack. I defended my territory.”“I know. You defended something.” Her eyes narrowed. “But it wasn't your territory, Alpha.”She leaned forward until our faces were a few inches away“What do you think? That I'll believe every single excuse forever?” She spoke seriously. “You can't

Chapter 89

Osiris's P.O.V.Kate’s heart pounded so wildly that it became the only sound in the room, fear visible in her eyes. She looked at me like a criminal waiting for a death sentence, begging for mercy silently.My chest knotted into a tight ball of tension.This was her home, the place where she should feel welcomed and safe. But seeing her hanging on to the last thread of hope deepened my guilt. I cupped her face in both hands and shook my head.“None.”Kate's tense muscles gradually relaxed beneath my touch as I spoke firmly.“There will be no test or ritual, My Moon.”Her lashes fluttered.“But the council…”“We already know the truth.” I brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “I trust our bond more than any priest or laboratory.”For a long moment, Kate simply stared at me, her eyes glimmering with tears. Then she leaned forward and rested her head against my chest, sighing deeply.I wrapped my arms around her carefully.“Rest assured, My Moon. No one gets to question my mate

Chapter 90

Kate's P.O.V.The Kessler residence had never felt this quiet.Osiris had gone to the office shortly after lunch despite my protests. Before leaving, he had promised to investigate the mystery surrounding the twins.How did Jace know?Neither of us had an answer.I rested my chin against my palm, staring blankly at the book lying open before me. The words blurred together no matter how many times I tried to read them.My thoughts refused to leave anything behind.Jace’s statement didn’t make any sense. In the heat of the moment, no one noticed the fact that he boldly claimed that I was carrying his ‘pups.’ Like how did he even know that?We should have asked this question in the council meeting, but it was too late. Moreover, if anyone was slipping information to him in private, direct questioning would alert him.Ugh!I rubbed my aching forehead.Osiris already had too many problems. The council, elders, Jace, and now another mystery had landed on his shoulders because of me.A sigh
