Todos los capítulos de Cheating on a Frenzied Alpha, Pregnant with his Child: Capítulo 41 - Capítulo 50

"Pregnant?" Kael's voice barely reached me. Yet the entire council chamber heard it. I stood in the middle of the room with my hand pressed against my stomach, wishing the floor would open and swallow me. Adrian stared at me. Kael stared at me. And every werewolf in the chamber waited for my answer. My mouth went dry. "Serena," Kael said again. This time, there was something different in his voice. Not anger. Not yet. Fear. I turned toward him. "Kael…" Adrian stepped forward. "You didn't tell him?" Kael's head moved sharply in his direction. "Shut your mouth." Adrian stopped. I wanted to scream at both of them. I wanted to run. I wanted to turn back time to the moment I had first answered Adrian's message and convince myself that I had never needed his money, his attention, or the false security he offered. But the past didn't care about my regrets. It had followed me into the council chamber. And now it was standing in front of my husband. "I was going to tell you," I

SERENA POVThe floor stopped shaking, but nobody in the council chamber moved.I was still staring at Adrian.'I think the first heir is my father.'The words kept repeating inside my head. His father. The boy in the photograph. The asset in the company records. The hidden heir beneath the Blackwood territory. None of it made sense."Your father?" Kael asked, voice flat and dangerous. Adrian swallowed. "I said I think—""You don't get to think when we're talking about something connected to my pack."His eyes flashed gold. I stepped between them before the tension could become another fight. "Both of you, stop."Kael looked at me. Adrian looked at me. For once, neither man immediately argued.I turned toward Nadia. "I need to leave." Her eyebrows drew together. "Leave where?""My family."Kael's expression tightened. "Serena, the territory is under threat.""And my family has been dragged into this mess since before I even knew werewolves existed." I looked at the documents scattered

SERENA POV The growl came again. It came from inside my family home. Deep. Animalistic. Wrong. My mother's last words were still ringing in my ears — Tobi just shifted — and I stared at the front door like it might change what waited on the other side if I looked hard enough. My hand was still clutching the phone. "Mum?" Nothing. The call had already ended. I tried calling back and got voicemail on the first ring, like the line had been cut somewhere between her mouth and mine. "Tobi?" No answer. I pushed the door open. The sitting room was wrecked — a chair overturned, the glass table shattered into a spray of shards across the carpet, one of my father's newspapers soaking dark red on the floor. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard it hurt. "Dad?" Still nothing. Then something crashed upstairs, and I ran without thinking, because thinking was a luxury I didn't have. "Dad!" I hit the hallway and stopped dead. My father stood outside Tobi's bedroom, shirt torn

The document in Kael's hand was still open when my phone vibrated.I looked down.Adrian: You left without saying goodbye.My stomach tightened. Of all the things happening around me, Kael's Frenzy, the pregnancy, Tobi's transformation, Lunar Shield, and the possibility that the people I had called my parents my entire life had lied to me, Adrian's message was somehow the one that made my heart stumble.That was the problem. Even after everything, I still cared about him. And that was exactly why my marriage to Kael had become such a disaster.I locked my phone quickly. Too quickly. Kael noticed. Of course he did.His eyes moved from my face to my hand. "Adrian?"I swallowed. "Yes."His jaw tightened, but the Frenzy didn't explode this time. That almost frightened me more than if it had."What did he say?""Nothing important."Kael gave me a humorless smile, the kind that didn't reach anywhere near his eyes. "You've lied to me enough tonight, Serena. Do me the courtesy of picking a be

I stared at the photograph until my eyes began to hurt.The woman in it was holding my tiny hand. The man beside her had one arm around her shoulders. And the little girl between them was me.Not a photograph of me. Not someone who looked like me.Me.The silver bracelet around my wrist was the same one I'd seen in the old Blackwood photograph, the one Kael's family had kept locked away for decades. My breathing turned shallow."They're alive?"Kael stood beside me, staring at the picture like it might rearrange itself into something less impossible."I don't know.""That isn't what Adrian said."Kael's jaw tightened. "You believe Adrian?"The question came out sharper than he probably intended, and I felt it land somewhere under my ribs."I don't know who to believe anymore," I said.His expression fell, and I hated that. I hated putting that look on his face. But I couldn't pretend everything was fine just because he was my husband. Not after Adrian. Not after the lies. Not after di
