His Child

The word follows me long after the cart begins moving again.Home.I told the old woman that I would eventually return to Bloodmoon.But the truth is, I don't know if I can.Not yet.Not while Kael's warning still echoes inside my head.Aria... run.I sit beneath the blankets, one hand resting over my stomach.His child.My child.Our child.The realization still feels impossible.I look down at myself.Nothing has changed on the outside.I don't look pregnant.I don't feel like a mother.And yet, everything has changed.There is a life growing inside me.A tiny piece of Kael.A tiny piece of me.My throat tightens."What am I going to do with you?"The old woman hears me from the front of the cart."You don't have to know everything today."I look toward her."How do you know?""Because I raised three children.""Three?"She smiles."Two survived."The smile fades."I'm sorry.""Don't be."She keeps her eyes on the road."Loss teaches you something.""What?""That love doesn't become

I Can't Tell Him

I don't tell Kael.Not that morning.Not that afternoon.Not that night.The secret stays inside me, growing heavier with every breath.I am carrying his child.And he has no idea.I wake before sunrise and stare at the ceiling of Selene's cottage, listening to the soft crackle of the fire.The old woman—Selene, I now know her name—had insisted that I sleep.I tried.But every time I closed my eyes, I saw Kael.His face when he smiled at me.His hands around my waist.The way his voice softened whenever he said my name.And then I remembered his warning.Aria... run.My hand moves instinctively to my stomach."I wish you could tell me what to do."My wolf stirs.You already know."What?"Protect the pup.I swallow."And Kael?"Silence.I already know the answer.Protecting Kael may mean staying away from him.For now.I step outside.Cold morning air brushes my face.Selene is already waiting in the clearing.She holds two wooden staffs.I stare at them."What's that?""Your first les

The Cabin Life

The forest goes silent. Too silent. I stand in the doorway of Selene's cottage, my knife tight in my hand, gold light burning faintly beneath my skin. Beyond the trees, I can hear them. Boots crushing leaves. Low voices. The metallic scent of silver. They are close. Too close. Selene steps beside me. "How many?" I close my eyes. My wolf reaches outward. Five. I open my eyes. "Five." "Are you sure?" "Yes." Selene's expression hardens. "Then we don't fight them." I glance at her. "You just told me to become strong." "I told you to become controlled. There is a difference between courage and stupidity." Despite everything, I almost smile. "That's something my mother would have said." "Your mother was very fond of saying things like that." A branch snaps. We both turn. A shadow moves between the trees. "They're coming." Selene grabs my arm. "Back door." We hurry inside. I glance toward the window. "There's nowhere to run."

The Betrayal Inside Bloodmoon

The cabin feels too small.Vera's words hang between us like a blade.Someone who has been beside Kael from the beginning.My heart pounds.I stare at her."Who?"Vera looks toward the door."I don't know if I should say it here.""Then where?""Somewhere no one can hear us."Selene steps closer."You're safe here."Vera gives her a bitter smile."That's what I thought too."She winces and presses a hand against her injured shoulder.I notice the blood again."You're hurt.""It's nothing.""Vera."She looks at me."Let me see."She hesitates.Then she removes the torn fabric covering her shoulder.A silver wound runs across her skin.My stomach twists."Silver."She nods."One of them got close."Selene's expression darkens."Who?""Pack warriors."My heart drops."Bloodmoon warriors?""Yes."I take a step back."They attacked you?""Not exactly."Vera lowers her voice."They were following orders.""Whose?"She looks at me."Kael's."The words hit me harder than they should."No.""H

Three Months

I open the door.Cold air rushes into the cabin.Lyra stands twenty feet away.For a moment, I simply stare at her.She is beautiful.That is the first thing I notice.Long dark hair falls over her shoulders. Her features are delicate, almost innocent. She wears a dark cloak, and her hands are folded calmly in front of her.There is nothing threatening about her appearance.That makes her more frightening.Three wolves stand behind her.Silver Crescent warriors.Their weapons are drawn.Vera steps beside me."Lyra."Lyra smiles."Vera.""You betrayed Bloodmoon.""I corrected a mistake."Vera's jaw tightens."What mistake?""Kael."My stomach twists.Lyra looks at me."He was never meant to belong to you."I tighten my grip on the knife."Yet he does."Her smile disappears."Not for long."Selene steps forward."You should have stayed hidden."Lyra's eyes narrow."And you should have died with Elena."My heart stops.My mother's name.Hearing it from Lyra's mouth sends a wave of anger

My Belly Grows

The howl fades into the forest.For several seconds, nobody moves.Then another howl answers.Closer.My wolf rises inside me, alert and restless.Elias draws his sword."Inside. Now."Vera moves first.She grabs my arm and pulls me toward the cabin.I don't resist.Selene follows behind us, carrying her bag of herbs and whatever weapons she has hidden beneath her cloak.Once we're inside, Elias closes the door and braces it."How many?" I ask."Too many to fight openly."My stomach tightens."Marcus?"Elias nods."He brought warriors.""How many?""At least twenty."Vera curses beneath her breath."Twenty?""They've surrounded the clearing."I move toward the window.Elias catches my shoulder."Don't.""I need to see.""You need to stay alive."I look at him."Where is Kael?"His expression changes."He's coming.""When?""He's already moving toward us."My heart skips."How far?""Not far."Hope rises in my chest.Then fear crushes it."If Kael comes here, Marcus will know exactly w

He Searches for Me

The forest erupts into chaos.Marcus's warriors charge from every direction.Kael pushes me behind him."Stay close."I grip my knife."I'm not helpless.""I know."His eyes meet mine."That's what scares me."Before I can answer, a warrior lunges.Kael shifts.His black wolf explodes forward, intercepting the attack.Claws tear through leather.The warrior falls.Another comes from behind.I turn before he reaches me.My knife catches his blade.Metal rings through the forest.He is stronger than me.But I have something he doesn't.A reason to survive.My child.I twist his wrist.The sword drops.I kick him backward.Gold flashes across my fingers.The ground beneath him cracks.He stares at me in horror."What are you?"I raise my chin."Someone you should have left alone."I strike.He goes down.Then I hear Kael roar.I turn.Three warriors surround him.My heart stops."Kael!"His wolf tears into one.The second swings a silver blade.Kael dodges.Too slow.The blade slices his

Letters I Never Send

The journey back to Bloodmoon takes two days.Two days of silence, exhaustion, and questions I don't know how to answer.Kael rides beside me the entire time.He refuses to leave my side.Whenever the path becomes steep, his hand reaches for mine.Whenever my horse slows, his eyes immediately find me.And whenever I touch my stomach, his expression softens.It should make me feel safe.It does.But there is something else beneath the safety.Guilt.Because there are words I still haven't said.Not about the pregnancy.Not about Marcus.Not even about the strange prophecy hidden inside my mother's letter.There are things I need to tell Kael.But I don't know how.So I write them instead.And I never send them.That first night, we camp beneath a cluster of pine trees.The Bloodmoon warriors surround us.Elias takes the first watch.Vera sits near the fire, sharpening her knife.Kael is beside me.Too close.Not that I mind.I lean against his shoulder.His arm wraps around my waist.H

The Dream

I wake with Kael's name on my lips."Kael."My heart is pounding.For a moment, I don't know where I am.The darkness of our bedroom surrounds me. Moonlight spills through the curtains, painting pale lines across the floor.Kael is asleep beside me.His arm is wrapped around my waist.His breathing is steady.Peaceful.I stare at him.Then I remember the dream.The throne.The blood.The golden eyes.And a child standing alone beneath a black moon.I shiver.My hand moves to my stomach.The baby is quiet.Too quiet.I close my eyes.Are you there?A faint warmth answers me.Relief floods my chest.I breathe again.Beside me, Kael shifts."Aria?""I'm here."His eyes open."What happened?""Nothing."He studies my face."You woke me.""I'm sorry."He sits up."You don't wake me unless something is wrong."I hesitate."I had a dream."His expression immediately changes."What kind of dream?"I look toward the window."I was standing in a throne room.""What did you see?""Gold everywher

He's Dying Without Me

The howls continue until dawn.I don't sleep again.Neither does Kael.He sits beside the window with his sword across his knees, watching the darkness beyond the walls.Every few minutes, his eyes return to me.Every few minutes, I catch him staring.Neither of us mentions the voice I heard.But I know he hasn't forgotten it.Neither have I.The Queen has chosen love.Now the enemy will choose war.Those words remain trapped inside my head.When the first light appears, Kael finally stands."Stay here."I sit up."Where are you going?""To the eastern wall.""Why?""We found tracks during the night."My heart tightens."Marcus?""Probably."He walks toward me.I reach for his hand."Be careful."His fingers close around mine."I will.""You always say that.""And I always come back."I stare at him."Promise?"He bends down and kisses my forehead."I promise."Then his hand moves to my stomach."And I'll come back to both of you."My heart aches."Kael."He looks at me."I love you."
