CHAPTER 1

SELINE"For the glory of Valcrest Empire, you must die!" Intruders snarled at me as I knelt on the floor."Please let me see Austin. Please…" I begged."How dare you speak the name of our king!" The soldiers growled and grabbed my hair, forcing me to raise my head. They were like shadows towering over me."Please. I need to talk to him. I'm pregnant. I have his baby!" I cried.The head soldier snorted. "Baby? You think you'd be qualified to deliver a baby for our king? Filthy whore! He won't come to you anymore. Don't you understand? He's with Lady Vanessa. Now drink it!""No!"He pulled me harshly, gripped my face and pried my mouth open. Mysterious liquid flew down my throat.Burning. I began to gag."Die! You wretched moron." They spat at me before slamming the door. And I heard the click of the lock.I struggled to move, but my eyes felt swollen, and my legs were strengthless. The smell of smoke quickly filled the room.Fire engulfed me.*****My mind wandered as I stared out the

CHAPTER 2

SELINE"Seline?" Emily nudged me back into reality. Her pretty eyes were wide with concern. "Are you okay?"I gulped, and then nodded as I pushed away my memories of Ravenspire. "Yes."I managed to pull myself together. I needed to be level-headed if we were going to heal this patient.It didn't take us long to reach the Pack House. The enormous mansion wasn't far from the clinic.When we crossed through the doors, we were surprised to see a crowd of people hustling around. The Pack House seemed to be in a huge commotion, and I had to duck to avoid bumping into anyone around me. This was the most activity I'd seen here in a while."Wow," Emily remarked as Daniel led us down the hall. "This must be serious. Everyone seems so upset." She tugged at Daniel's sleeve. "Can you tell us what's going on?""The Alpha will tell you once we find him," Daniel remarked."Oh," Emily replied, and she let out a sigh. "So much secrecy."I wanted to ask follow-up questions, but Daniel's tone was so seri

CHAPTER 3

SELINE"Well, then you'll have to tell them to hurry up and find the beast," Emily remarked beside me, and she rolled her pretty eyes in annoyance. "The sooner the better."The room suddenly grew heavy and my eyes widened.While part of me agreed with her sentiment, I couldn't believe she'd been so bold as to say that to the Alpha King. Of course, I wasn't fully convinced that my friend knew that's who she'd been addressing. If she had, I doubt she'd have spoken so tersely."Emily!" Diana exclaimed. The Luna looked shocked and embarrassed at my assistant's outburst, and her cheeks flushed scarlet.Austin's eyes narrowed, and the room fell silent."Your Majesty, please excuse her," Diana begged, and she offered the Alpha King an apologetic expression and a small bow. "We-"Austin raised his hand, and the Luna immediately froze in place and shut her mouth."Wait, 'Your Majesty'?" Emily whispered. "Oh, holy shit."Her expression was awestruck. Clearly, she'd realized who had been address

CHAPTER 4

SELINEThe next few hours passed by laboriously. As we waited for the guards to return with some sort of news about the viper, Emily and I did all we could to keep the boy comfortable. We took his temperature, monitored his heart rate, and continued to apply cold compresses to keep his fever from rising any higher.Meanwhile, it took all of my concentration to remain perfectly focused on the boy. My mind was trying to wander to different places, and Austin Collins wasn't helping. The Alpha King remained close to us as we attended to his son, and it was unclear if he was monitoring our treatment or just studying me.The hairs on the back of my neck stood straight up as chills continuously ran down my spine. I wasn't the kind of woman who got nervous easily, but the Alpha King's very presence set every inch of my body on edge.Of all of the people to be here, he was the last one I'd ever have expected, and my emotions were running wild. I wasn't sure whether to cry or be relieved to see

CHAPTER 5

SELINEI was stunned by the severity of his tone. He wasn't addressing me as Austin Collins. He was ordering me as the Alpha King.The last thing I wanted was to stay in the chamber alone with him and the sleeping prince, but as much as I wanted to disobey his order, I knew I had no choice. He was the ruler of the realm, and I could face horrible consequences if I didn't obey.So, I turned back around. I was about to walk back over to the bed when a thought crossed my mind."My apologies, Your Majesty, but I need to go and take care of my son," I explained, and it took all of my effort to keep my voice steady."Your son?" Austin repeated back, and he crossed his arms against his chest."Yes, my son," I answered. "He's waiting for me. I've been working all day, so I haven't had the chance to see him yet.""Where is he?" the Alpha King pressed. His gray eyes narrowed as if he didn't wish to let me leave."He is with the Luna Diana's children," I answered. "Downstairs, I believe.""He wi

CHAPTER 6

SELINE My lip quivered as I searched for an explanation, and Austin rose from his seat. However, just as the Alpha King took a step toward us, the sleeping prince's eyes opened. "Daddy?" the young boy managed. "What happened?" Austin seemed to forget about us completely and turned his full attention to his son. He squatted down beside the boy and took his hand. "You're awake," he said in relief. "Oh, thank goodness. Do you feel any better now?" His tone was gentle, something I'd never heard from him before. Or perhaps I had, but the memories were buried now. The young prince nodded and smiled at his father. "I feel better now, Daddy…" "Do you remember what happened?" Austin asked quietly and when the boy shook his head, he sighed. "That's alright. What's important is that you're safe and feeling better than before. I'm so relieved." As he held his son's hand, I noticed Ethan gazing at them longingly. It tugged at my heartstrings, but there was nothing I could do except get the

CHAPTER 7

SELINE"Mommy, what's going on?" Ethan whispered, and he stared up at me with widened eyes. I froze in place, unsure of how to answer him. Surely, the Alpha King couldn't be serious.Me, go with him to Ravenspire?I studied Austin's expression and wondered if he'd seen past my changed face and voice. Had he discovered it was me after all? No. There was no way.Regardless, why would he bring me there? As the capital city of the Valcrest Empire, there were countless outstanding healers that resided there. While I knew I was good at my job, I didn't believe for a moment that I was any more talented than any of them.If anything, I could just write down the list of herbs I'd used and have the servants pass it along to the royal healers, and if something was amiss, they knew where to find me."I-I don't understand, Your Majesty," I asked him. "Why bring me all the way to Ravenspire?""Must I repeat myself?" the Alpha King sighed and he shook his head in frustration. "I thought you were sma

CHAPTER 8

SELINEI remained in bed with Ethan for a while and stared lovingly at his adorable face as he dreamt. Part of me could have stayed here forever, holding my sweet baby boy in my arms, but the other part knew there was so much to do.I carefully tucked Ethan deep into the covers, and once I was sure he wasn't going to wake, I quietly slipped out of his room and headed toward mine down the hall. I gently closed the door behind me, and once it was shut, I released the sigh I'd been holding onto for hours now.This was all such a mess, and there was only one thing I could do.I had to pack- not for Ravenspire, but somewhere else.I needed to take Ethan and run as far away as we could.I didn't see any other choice. My son and I couldn't go to Ravenspire.So, I started moving around my room and got to packing.I grabbed only the essentials- a few pairs of clothes, some money I'd stashed away, necessary toiletries, and the legal documents I needed to hold onto for Ethan's sake. We wouldn't

CHAPTER 9

SELINEWhen I entered my son's room, I half-expected him to be awake, but he was fast asleep.He had his arms wrapped around his favorite teddy bear, Teddy, and for a moment, I didn't want to wake him up. He seemed so peaceful, and I was about to put him through so much stress.But not as much as I would be if we went to Ravenspire.So, I leaned down and gently touched his arm."Ethan," I whispered, and when he didn't rouse, I said his name again. After a moment, his nose crinkled and his eyes blinked open."Mommy?" he said, and he yawned lightly."Sorry to wake you, baby," I said, and I gave him my most apologetic smile. "We have to go.""Go?" he repeated back in a confused voice. "Go where?""I'll tell you on the way there," I explained. "For now, we just need to get ready, okay?"Ethan nodded, though his gray eyes were concerned. I pulled the covers aside and helped him down. We walked over to the closet, and we got him dressed.After I zipped up his jacket, I picked out a couple o

CHAPTER 10

SELINE"Ethan!" I cried."Mommy!" Ethan shouted back through tears. "Mommy, help me!"I shined the flashlight over the rocks and coordinated a small path. I could get a better look at the situation if I shifted a little around them."Hold on, baby," I pleaded. "Mommy is going to help. Just keep breathing.""Okay," Ethan whimpered, and the sound tugged at my heartstrings.I followed the beams of light and made my way down over the rocks. It was a little difficult to navigate, but I had to save my son.When I reached the bottom, I shined the flashlight around me to get my bearings, and when I did, I realized we were at the entrance of a small cave. Somehow, Ethan had managed to stamp on it and get caught in between rocks."Keep breathing, Ethan," I urged him as he wiggled and writhed. "I think I can get you out."I carefully climbed back up to the top of the rocks and over to Ethan. Even in the dark, I could see his cheeks were soaked from his tears. His lower lip trembled, and for the
