Chapter 1

Madeline’s POV“Seven months,” I whispered to my reflection. “Seven months, and I still haven’t told him.”I’d stared at my stomach so many times over the last three days that I’d basically memorized every little curve of it. I was seven months pregnant, and I still hadn’t found the courage to tell Alexander that the baby growing inside me was his.That was the truth I kept swallowing every morning, along with my coffee and my pride. Two years married to the man, bonded as his mate, and I still couldn't walk into a room and just say the words out loud. “I'm having your baby.” Just six words. I'd practiced them in the mirror so many times that it started to sound like a recording.Tonight was going to be different. I told myself that while I pulled on the blue dress he'd once said looked nice on me back when he still said things like that occasionally. I smoothed it down over my stomach, then pressed my hand there for a moment."Okay," I said to my reflection. "You can do this."My ref

Chapter 2

Madeline’s POVThey didn't knock or ask to come in. Two guards just pushed the door open and grabbed my arms roughly, like I was already guilty of something, and pulled me out into the hallway in my nightgown with my eyes still red from crying just moments ago."What the hell are you doing? Let go of me!" I tried to twist out of their grip, but it didn't matter. They were trained, strong in a way I'd never be, and I was seven months pregnant and completely terrified.They marched me down two flights of stairs to the council hall, and when the doors opened, I understood why nobody had bothered explaining anything to me. Half the pack was already there, waiting, as if they'd known this was happening before I did, and I was the last person in the entire pack to find out about my own life falling apart.I scanned the crowd for one friendly face and didn't find any. No one stepped forward to even ask if I was okay, or ask why I was being dragged into a room full of people at midnight in no

Chapter 3

Madeline’s POVThey put me in a room to have the baby all by myself.It wasn’t the maternity suite with the soft lights, warm blankets, and all the expensive equipment. All I had was a small cot in a plain room with a locked door. There was no nurse or midwife to assist me, and no husband to hold my hand through the worst of it. They had decided I wasn’t worth the effort. All I had was myself, gritting my teeth through contractions that came faster than I was ready for.Werewolf babies could survive early deliveries far better than human babies, but seven months was still far too early for me to be giving birth alone.I kept waiting for someone to walk in and tell me this was all a horrible mistake. That the council would sort it out, Alexander would come to his senses, or somebody would remember I was still a person even after everything they'd decided about me. But nobody came. The cot creaked every time I shifted, and the only light in the room came from a single bulb overhead th

Chapter 4

Madeline’s POVI never got the chance to run.The door opened again before Harper's five minutes were even up, and this time it wasn't her. It was the guards again, grabbing my arms and roughly hauling me off the cot while I was still weak, bleeding, and barely able to stand.My daughter—the one they didn’t know I still had—was wrapped tightly against my chest under a ratty blanket I’d grabbed off the cot without thinking."Please," I said, stumbling as they pulled me down the hallway. "Please, I just gave birth. I can barely walk—"Nobody answered me. They didn’t even act like they could hear me.I thought about my other daughter, wherever she was in this huge house, being fed or held or maybe not held at all, and my chest ached so badly that I felt weaker than I’d ever been in my life.They dragged me in front of the council again. My legs shook the whole way there, and I had to lock my knees just to stop myself from collapsing. Alexander stood at the front of the room, scowling, hi

Chapter 5

Madeline’s POVA dark blur slammed into the rogue a split second before he reached me.I dropped to the ground on instinct, curling my whole body around my daughter, shielding her with everything I had left as the two wolves crashed into each other in the dark just a few feet away. The sound was awful. All I could hear was snarling, bones snapping, bodies hitting the frozen ground hard enough that I felt it through my entire body. I squeezed my eyes shut and held on, praying to anyone who might be listening that we'd survive whichever wolf walked away from this violent display.I could hear my own heartbeat over the noise, feel my daughter trembling against my chest, and I kept whispering to her without even meaning to, saying the same useless words over and over. “It's okay. It's okay.”I didn't believe them myself, but I needed to say them anyway, like saying them enough times might just make them true.It felt like it went on forever, but it probably only lasted a minute.Then th
