Chapter 1 — The call from the Clan's Doctor.

Lara's POV"Lucien, mark me."I moaned the words like a prayer I had been holding back for five years, helpless and wanting as we were both soaked from the shower. I had woken up from sleep and come to him in my nightwear — the thin kind that could be pulled off with one hand — and somehow we had ended up here, under the running water, his body warm against mine while the steam curled around us both.The water ran down my skin in sheets. And then there was the other kind of wet that had nothing to do with the shower. ‘Wet squared,’ you could call it. The kind that made thinking straight feel like a joke.I was already turned on beyond any point of return. My back was pressed against him, one hand crossed behind me to grip the back of his head and my fingers curled into his damp hair as I tilted my neck to the side. It was more like an open invitation or better still, a silent plea."Please." My voice dropped lower. "Mark me and make me yours. Truly yours."Five years of marriage and h

Chapter 2 — What is Alpha Lucien doing here?

Lara's POVI didn't waste a single second after that call.I threw on the first decent outfit I could find, grabbed my bag, and was out the door before the thought of breakfast even crossed my mind. Whatever was in that hospital report wasn't something I was going to sit at home and stare at the ceiling over. I needed to hear it properly. From Dr. Asher's mouth, in his office, with the actual paperwork in my hands. That was the only way any of it was going to feel real to me.So that was exactly where I went.The hospital corridors were already busy by the time I arrived — the usual morning movement of clan members coming and going, nurses cutting from one wing to the next with their arms full. I kept my head down and walked straight to Dr. Asher's office, knocked once, and let myself in when he called out.I sat down across from his desk. Folded my hands in my lap as I tried to look like a woman who had everything under control. If Dr. Asher believed it, he was being very polite abou

Chapter 3 — Losing her composure.

Lara's POVI moved out to the corridors, and guess what?Alpha Lucien was right there, placing a lady into a wheelchair that one of the nurses had just wheeled over — on his instruction, obviously, since that was what all the urgency had been about… The emergency. The ‘quick, I need a doctor.’ That was what had sent me flying out of Dr. Asher's office like something was on fire.I mean this."Doctor," he said to one of the physicians standing nearby, his voice back to its usual composed authority now that the drama had settled. "Take a look at her leg. It's flaring up."I was still far enough down the corridor that he hadn't spotted me yet. Standing just close enough to see every detail and just far enough that I could still pretend, for another few seconds, that I had the option of turning around.But then, I didn't turn around.I would have thought he was simply helping out a stranger if I didn't know better. More like a good deed and maybe an Alpha doing the right thing because tha

Chapter 4 — Being chosen to be his Luna was never my choice.

Lara's POVBy the time the nurse was satisfied that I was steady enough to be left alone, I had pulled myself together enough to look like a functioning person. Breathing was even and my hands had stopped shaking. The face in the small mirror above the sink looked tired but held together.That was good enough.I thanked her, waited until she had gone back to whatever round she had been doing before I derailed it, and then sat there for another minute in the quiet of that room.You know, I only felt tense seeing that sight — Lucien crouched beside Raina in that corridor, smiling at her like I was something he had already mentally moved out of — and that was why I needed to leave the space at that moment. My body just reacted before my pride could object. But the tense had passed now, and with it the dizziness, and I was not going to let one moment in a corridor undo the one genuinely good thing that had happened to me today.I had a baby. I had a whole life growing inside me.Raina cou

Chapter 5 — Alpha, I want a divorce!!!

Lara's POVI swiped the screen open fully.And there it was.A photo of Alpha Lucien lying across Raina's body with his eyes closed and completely at ease — the kind of relaxed that only comes when a person feels truly safe where they are. And Raina was looking directly into the camera, front-facing, and that angle was too deliberate to be accidental. She had taken that picture herself as she must have arranged herself underneath him, waited for exactly the right moment, and captured it on purpose.Then she sent it to me…I wouldn't know if all of these actually happened today, who knows?Or maybe she only decided to share this with me today just to get on me or something.But then, the message that followed the image was there in plain text.'Hey loser. Alpha Lucien doesn't care about you. I am the only one he loves.'I stared at the screen for a long moment without moving. Not because I was shocked though — I wasn't feeling that way anymore. But because something about seeing it writ

Chapter 6 — He later signed it!

Lara's POV"I want a divorce."Just as the last word dropped off my lips, Alpha Lucien's hand was already around my throat.Alpha Lucien's grip was so tight that at one point, I was already finding it difficult to breathe. My vision blurred at the edges. My airway narrowed down to almost nothing. And yet I still managed to hold onto those divorce papers — my right hand gripping them like they were the only solid thing left in the room. If this was where it ended, then fine. He could have everything else. But I was not letting go of those papers.There was something strange about standing there, struggling to breathe, and feeling more certain than I had felt in years. Five years of that marriage had never given me clarity like this. Five years of hoping, waiting and swallowing everything down had never made anything feel this clean or this simple. And all it had taken was his hand around my throat for the last thing holding me here to finally, completely let go.But then my unborn chil

Chapter 7- Her legs work fine?!!!

Lara's POVGetting to the restroom, I ended up not throwing up as much as I had expected.Just the one wave, sharp and quick, and that was it. I stood over the basin for a moment longer anyway, gripping the edge of the sink with both hands and breathing slowly through my nose until I was certain it was done. The cool porcelain under my palms helped. So did the quiet space I was in. At least nobody was in my face. Nobody was gripping my throat, delivering lines in a carefully soft voice, or standing over me with a pen waiting for me to acknowledge that I had lost.It was just me and the sound of my own breathing. And so, I was going to take every second of it.I straightened up, ran the cold tap, and splashed water on my face. After that, I looked at myself in the mirror for a long moment. And I saw the red eyes that must be as a result of the coughing. The faint outline along the side of my neck that I had already decided not to look at too closely. The face of a woman who had walked

Chapter 8 — My baby, please!

Lara's POV "No one is stopping me from becoming Luna," Raina said, her voice dropping into something flat and final…just like a door being shut with complete certainty. I looked at her standing there with both feet planted to the floor, power still rotating in her palm, eleven years of lies sitting right on the surface for anyone paying close enough attention — and I thought about every single time Lucien had looked at me like I was the problem. Every time he had chosen her side without asking a single question. Every time I had pushed something true back down because I knew nobody in that clan was going to listen to me over her. None of that was what mattered right now. The only thing that mattered was the life growing inside me, and keeping it there. "You are going to kill Alpha Lucien's only unborn pub?" I said, trying to keep my voice level and at the same time, trying to sound like

Chapter 9 — Princess Lara!?

Lara's POV"Lara."Alpha Lucien's voice came from somewhere down the corridor, getting closer. And I could tell from the way Raina's whole body went completely still instantly, that she had heard it too.What happened next was fast. So fast that even lying there with blood at the corner of my mouth and pain sitting heavy across every part of my body, I almost missed the full sequence of it.She grabbed the small iron scissors from the edge of the sink and without a single second of hesitation, drove it into her own thigh. It all went in all hard and deliberate, even the scream that came out of her was real.Whatever pain came with what she had just done to herself was genuine, even if nothing else about any of this was. She pulled it free almost immediately, turned to where I was on the floor, and forced the handle into my palm, pressing my exhausted fingers around it before I had even fully understood what was happening.Then she dropped to the floor right beside me, pressed her hand

Chapter 10 — Did Alpha Lucien send you?

Lara's POVI kept turning restlessly on the bed for what felt like a very longgggg time of sleep.The pain was gone….That was the first thing my mind registered as it slowly came back to itself — that thick, heavy ache that had been sitting across every part of my body had lifted. The bathroom floor, the blood, Raina's heel connecting with my ribs — all of that had a physical weight to it that should have still been there. But, it wasn't. Whatever had happened between me passing out and waking up in this bed, I knew for sure that someone had reached me in time. Also, subconsciously I felt that the room was quiet.Then, a drip was attached to the inside of my arm, and faint traces of something medicinal sat in the space.And before I tried to figure out where I was or how I had gotten here, my hand went straight to my stomach.I pressed it there slowly, beneath the sheet, like I was afraid of what I might or might not feel.Something was still there which all felt warm and present.I e
