The Alpha’s Contract Mate
Chapter 20: The War Begins
Her POV
I was sitting alone in my room, my hands folded tightly in my lap. My small wolf pressed against my chest, trembling, sensing the storm in my heart. The house was quiet, too quiet, and for the first time in days, I felt the weight of everything crashing down on me, the pregnancy, Theo’s care, Aurelia’s cruelty. I tried to focus on something, anything, folding a piece of cloth, staring out the window, but the ache in my chest would not leave.
