All Chapters of My Alpha Husband Claimed Another Heir While I Was Pregnant: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

I did not confront him. I left my room alone and went up to the VIP wing.Voices and laughter came from the room at the end of the hall.From the hallway, I had a clear view through the gap in the door.Julian sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of warm bone broth. He cooled each spoonful before feeding it to Nora.Nora rested against the headboard. Her face was pale, but her eyes brimmed with happiness.The pack crest was fastened to the side of the crib.Julian's family stood around the crib, unable to hide their delight."This child was born to be an Alpha. Julian, look at his eyes. He has your ambition."Julian set down the spoon and gently touched the pup's cheek. "I think he takes after Nora."I stood in the doorway and said nothing.Then his mother turned and saw me. The smile vanished from her face. "Serena? What are you doing here?"Julian's head snapped around. The spoon slipped from his fingers and clattered into the bowl.He shot to his feet and instinctively stepped

I waited and waited, but Julian never came.The maid finally found me writhing in pain and rushed over. "Luna, what's wrong?""Quick! Call Julian and tell him to take me to the hospital."She hurried downstairs to call him. Two or three minutes later, she returned with an ashen face."Luna, the Alpha said he... he had to go back to the medical center. Ms. Vane is emotionally unstable after giving birth. The call dropped before I could tell him about you."I leaned against the wall as cold sweat streamed down my forehead.The signal cut out again.It reminded me of our bond and all the years he had spent blocking it on his end. Whenever I needed him, he was never there."Call an ambulance."The ambulance arrived quickly and took me to Lycian Private Medical Center.The corridor lights were harsh. A doctor entered my room holding a form."Your abdominal pain appears to be caused by an adverse reaction to some kind of medication," he said. "We need a family member's signature before we ca

Three days later, Julian picked me up and took me home.He put me in the most secluded guest room and issued a brief statement: "Luna Serena has developed severe psychosis due to hormonal changes during pregnancy. She needs complete rest until she gives birth and will not receive visitors."Every word made it sound like he was protecting me.I knew better. He was afraid I would find a way to disrupt the blessing ceremony for Nora's pup.By pack custom, a pup would be carried to the altar to receive the Elders' blessing. It was a solemn ceremony.Only exceptional heirs formally recognized by the Alpha were eligible for it.Whatever faith I still had in Julian died, and I stopped speaking to him.Every day, he brought me dishes I used to love. None of them tempted me.I spent each day by the window, staring at a dead tree. No matter what he said, I pretended not to hear him."Serena, you don't need to torture yourself like this."He stood beside me, his voice still gentle. "I've told you

"Serena, I had no idea about any of this. Nora did it all on her own."Julian rushed toward me, his large frame trembling violently.He placed both hands on my shoulders and leaned close, his eyes pleading and full of regret. "Serena, please forgive me. Let's start over."I pulled free and stepped back. "Julian, it's too late."Do you really think you deserve my forgiveness just because you didn't know?"If you hadn't promised Nora a future and given her special treatment, she never would've dared to hurt my child and me, thinking she could get away with it!"By the Moon Goddess, I, Serena, reject you, Julian, as my mate.""No!" he howled. "Serena, you can't be this cruel to me!"I looked at him, utterly calm."But I won't keep being this cruel to myself, Julian."If you refuse, I'll go to the Alpha King. I won't let my child have a father like you.""Serena, you..."He reached for me, but I moved out of his reach.He pulled his hand back, his face pale and his voice trembling. "If tha
