The Lockdown Clause

POV: VivianThe loud thud of an iron bar dropping into place from the front door was the sound of my complete erasure.I stood by the front window, my small, pale hand resting against the cold glass. Outside, four elite Alpha guards clad in thick, dark iron armor took their positions at the four corners of the small clearing. They didn't look at the trees. They looked directly at the cottage. At me.The Lockdown Clause.Under the ancient Blood River pack law, a confirmed surrogate was no longer a contractor. She was pack property. A sacred, heavily guarded vault meant to protect the Alpha’s bloodline until the day of extraction. I was forbidden from stepping past the fence line. I was forbidden from walking to the stream. For seven months, my world was reduced to four wooden walls, a stone hearth, and the mattress where my body had been branded.I walked back into the kitchen, the absolute silence of the room crashing over my shoulders like a wave of ice.The silver testing slate

Cynthia's Mask Slips

POV: Luna CynthiaThe crystal perfume bottle shattered against the gilded portrait of Alpha Gideon’s ancestors, sending sharp pieces of glass across the velvet wall. The sweet jasmine smell filled the room, but it couldn't drown out the report sitting on my vanity.Positive.“A son,” I whispered,my eyes wide, my voice rising as my hands shook. I grabbed the edges of the vanity, my long nails scraping against the stone until one snapped and drew a thin line of blood. “A direct Alpha heir. From her. From that unranked border stray!”The room went silent. My two remaining inner-circle maids stood near the service door like molded statues, their faces pale and their gazes fixed on the floor. They knew better than to speak when I stopped pretending to be the helpless, sick wife.For six long years, I had worn the mask of the perfect, suffering mate. I made the clan elders pity me for my failing heart. I made the High Council feel sorry for my barren womb. I played the part of the tragic

The Shift in Touch

POV: VivianThe surrogacy contract was plain about the timeline.Once the blood slate flared gold and the conception was confirmed, the physical requirements of the arrangement were officially complete. There should be no more scheduled nights.No more touching, clinical encounters where we had to strip our pride away on the sheets and keep feeling guilty about it. I was strictly an incubator now, locked behind iron bars, meant to sit in the dark until the extraction date.I didn't expect him to ever step foot inside this cabin again unless it was to collect what was bargained.But at exactly midnight, the iron bar across the front door lifted with a slow scrape.The door opened slowly, and the freezing mountain wind didn't even have a chance to touch the floorboards before Gideon’s massive frame blocked out the threshold. He didn't have his thick leather jacket on tonight. He wore only his dark fitted shirt, his chest heaving as if he had just run through the thicket instead of r

Letter from the capital

POV: VivianMy mother might either be alive or dead, and the answers were locked inside the blood-red wax seal of the envelope in Beta Marcus's hand.I didn't care that he was the Beta of the Blood River pack, or that his elite guards were currently bolting iron reinforcement bars over my kitchen windows to keep Cynthia’s poisoners and silas spies out. I crossed the room in three sharp strides and snatched the parchment straight out of his leather glove before he could even open his mouth to utter a word.The warmth in my heart receiving another letter made me feel a bit hope."From the capital courier keep," Marcus said, his jaw tightening at my maybe lack of respect. "The Alpha ordered that any mail bearing this sanctuary stamp bypasses the high keep's inspection. It comes straight to you.""Is she alive?" I demanded, my voice dry and uneven."Read it yourself, border girl," Marcus replied coldly, turning his back to me. "I have guards to rotate at the fence line. Keep yourself ins

Silas draws nearer

POV: GideonThe map on my war room table was marked in red ink along the southern ridge, but I couldn't focus on the parchment. My aura was everywhere, thick with an agitated weight that made the wood beneath my palms groan.Beta Marcus tossed a fresh scout report onto the leather surface, his face tight. "Silas has officially moved two mercenary regiments to the southern border keep, Alpha. He’s claiming it’s standard territory protection, but our border guards say otherwise. He’s building siege lines.""He knows," I said coldly, straightening up. "The moment Dr. Alistair went missing from the high town clinic, Silas’s spies knew the surrogacy test came back positive. He’s running out of time before the blood moon, and he’s desperate to strike before the heir is born.""Half the southern clan leaders on the council are backing him," Marcus warned, gripping his brown leather belt, pacing the floorboards. "They are demanding to know why you invoked the Lockdown Clause on the East Co

Midnight Cravings

POV: VivianThe hunger in my belly did not just hit me like a gradual ache; it woke me out of a deep sleep like a physical blow to the chest.I sat upright in the pitch-black bedroom, my breath catching in my throat as my mouth instantly watered with a terrifying desperation. It wasn't just an appetite. It felt like a command coming from the low, steady warmth resting beneath my navel. I needed sweet apple preserve. The thought of the thick, sugary fruit was so intense it made my stomach churn, sending a sudden wave of heat through me and leaving my limbs weak.Get up, my inner wolf urged, her quiet voice giving a restless thump against my ribs. She had been mostly dead for months, but ever since the blood slate flared gold, she had wrapped herself around that tiny pulse in my belly, turning fiercely protective. ‘Feed the pup. Now.’I pulled my wool shawl over my gray dress, my boots scuffing the floorboards as I hurried out into the dark kitchen. Two elite guards stood like st

The Growing Bond

POV: VivianOver the next three weeks, the ice on the iron window bars grew thicker, but somehow, the cabin started feeling smaller and warmer. And that was what scared me. The longer we stayed locked inside together with his constant visits, the harder it became to remember that Gideon and I were only supposed to be Alpha and surrogate.The lockdown had changed things between us. With Silas’s scouts moving around the eastern tree line and the packhouse council still stuck in endless arguments, Gideon barely left the cottage anymore. He was almost always in the living room. His maps and border reports were spread across the table, his heavy broadsword lying beside them, but it was his presence I noticed most. Even when he was quiet, I could feel him everywhere in that small cabin, and my suppressed wolf was always awake, paying attention to his every movement.Every evening, we somehow ended up doing the same thing.I sat on the wooden bench near the stone hearth, slowly rubbing

Cynthia's Grand Visit

POV: VivianThe iron safety bar on the front door didn't only lift. It slammed against the wood with such force that all four Alpha guards inside the cottage jumped to their feet, their broadswords out of their scabbards within seconds.I stood up from the hearth, my hand automatically covering the five-month curve of my stomach as the door flew open. Freezing afternoon air rushed inside, but the smell that followed was stronger. Expensive jasmine oil mixed with the sharp, sour smell of high-town medicine.Luna Cynthia stepped into the cottage.She looked terrible. Her pale blonde hair was dull and messy beneath her velvet hood, and her skin had a gray, almost lifeless color that made her look like someone who hadn't slept in days. She leaned on the arms of two senior noblewomen from the clan council, Lady Augusta and Lady Beatrice. Her chest rose and fell quickly, as if the short walk from the carriage had taken everything out of her. I couldn't feel her wolf at all. There was o

The Migraine Returns (And Vanishes)

POV: GideonThe pain in my head didn't build slowly. It hit me like something had been driven straight through my left eye, and for a second, all I could see was white.I stumbled back from the high keep council table, the chair scraping across the stone floor as I grabbed my temple. The elders' voices became nothing but a distant, broken buzz. The map of the southern border keeps in front of me blurred until the black and red markings were nothing more than a mess."Gideon? Darling, what is it?" Cynthia's thin, shaking voice came through the noise. Her hand, covered in high-town diamond rings, slid onto my forearm. The smell of jasmine perfume and the herbal medicine she used came with it.The moment her fingers touched me, the pressure around my skull became even worse. The smell of her made my stomach turn. My wolf roared inside my chest, trying to pull away from her, fighting against the bond that had kept us tied to her for six years."Do not touch me," I growled, my voice ro

The Shadow Outline

POV: VivianThe revelation from earlier was still fresh in my mind, but the danger outside didn't care about fated mates or broken blood magic.Gideon had returned to the high keep an hour ago to check the dungeon cells where Dr. Alistair was being held. Now I lay alone in the dark bedroom, staring at the ceiling beams with one hand resting on my five-month belly. My heart still hadn't settled.‘His true mate.’ Those words frightened me more than I wanted to admit. I couldn't afford to believe them, not when the seven months were almost up, and the traditional clan elders could still demand my death or exile.Snap.The sharp crack cut through the howling mountain wind outside my window.My suppressed wolf stirred inside me, suddenly alert. A wave of cold dread ran through my body. That hadn't been the wind or an iron bar shifting against the wood. I'd heard a thick pine branch break under someone's weight, and the sound had come from just beyond the cottage fence.I sat up at once
