He asked, looking at me from head to toe and focusing on the neckline of my blouse, making me roll my eyes. I move closer to him, glaring at him. "I am the Montanari heiress, this chair is mine!" I speak a little lower, but firm and serious. "And I am your future husband and I would have to take over the company". Seriously spoken. "But don't worry, I can make you secretary. You'll be great to work with". Speaks mischievously, licking his lips as he looks down at my cleavage again. I roll my eyes and walk over to his side, controlling myself so I don't end up committing murder.

And somewhere beneath the soil, a new seed began to stir, waiting for the rain, waiting for the light, waiting to become something more. The heir had planted her tree. And now the next heir would do the same. THE END

Dad shook his head, “No, you don’t. I don’t think you understand. Power and the struggle for power is a constant that keeps our kind afloat. A pack like ours, with an Alpha Heir your age, should already have you as Alpha Head with the promise of an Heir. I shouldn’t still be here in this seat running this pack. Not that I am too old to run things. No.” Dad sighed, shaking his head again as he continued. “That’s not the problem because I can still do my job as Alpha Head. The problem here is the fact that I have an heir who is way past the normal age of his ascension, yet I am still on this seat like an Alpha with no Heir. You’re an able-bodied Alpha, and the longer it takes for you to take a

“You don’t have to chase power when it walks its pregnant little feet back to your door.” My stomach clenched. Pregnant. Little feet. She paused, listening. “The heir is the key,” she said, softer now, intent sharpening. “The Lunaris heir resonance gives us leverage over wolves *and* over the Tribunal. Bloodline on our side means we stop playing by their rules and start writing new ones.” Lunaris heir resonance. Something cold threaded through my ribs, sharp and metallic, like my own blood recoiling from the idea. I curled my hands over my belly without thinking, fingers splaying protectively.

“She’s tied to the magic somehow.” They crept closer through the brush, the scent of ozone and ash thick in the air. The scouts spoke in low voices Kael barely caught, something about “orders from the Heir” and “the resonance patterns forming near the mountain pass.” Then Kael froze. The Heir. That title hadn’t been used since before the fall of the old packs. Lira glanced at him. “You don’t think” “It can’t be her,” Kael whispered. “Not like that.”

he said. I scoffed. “Isn't that what I'm working at? Didn't you guys say Fiona is the only one who can give me an Heir? Why again are you changing your words?” I said as he laughed. “I changed nothing. I'm saying the same thing. You just don't understand. You need your Heir because you already have one.” “Huh?” I looked at him. At that moment, I felt like my strength came back. “What stupid bizarre words are you saying? My Heir is what makes me weak?” I questioned instantly.

Before Her Heir. Sienna’s breath caught. “Her Heir,” she whispered. Harvey’s face paled. “No. No, Sienna, you don’t understand. It’s not just about the bloodline. It’s what you’re meant to do with it. You’re not just the heir... you are the one who will either break the curse or become its next victim.” Sienna looked at the journal again, her heart racing. The final words echoed in her mind like a haunting refrain: Her Heir. Her destiny had just been laid bare before her, and she had no idea how to stop the storm that was about to break.

My breath hitched. "Born." The word was a physical blow. Damien flinched almost imperceptibly.

she said. "Petra found it in Ironmoor's archive on Monday. She didn't tell you because she wanted me to read it first." Dr. Adaeze drew a breath. "Luna, the duty to name is not only the heir's right. It is the heir's obligation. The framework says that when the heir sees a thing the structure has refused to see, and fails to name it, the failure is itself a breach." "A breach of what?" "Of the bloodline's standing," Dr. Adaeze said. "If you stay silent, you lose it."

Gracie was the treasured heiress of the Fosters, and Lionel was the precious darling everyone in the family protected. They probably would never recognize that the leading cardiologist sitting before them in glasses was the real heir they had once shut out. "I know you're the top cardiologist in the city. Getting an appointment with you isn't easy. But don't worry. Money isn't a problem. As long as you can save my brother, you can name your price." Gracie held a black card between two fingers and placed it on my desk. I lowered my eyes to it, then looked back at her.
