The Alpha’s Barren Pup

Lyra's POVThe familiar scents of pine and wildflowers enveloped me as I made my way down the winding paths of the Silvermoon Pack's territory. My heart swelled with anticipation and pure joy. I couldn't wait to find Damien and share the incredible news - after so many cycles of heartbreak, I was finally pregnant with our pup. Ria, my wolf, thrummed with excitement within me. "He'll be at the training grounds, I can smell his scent trail," she murmured.Quickening my pace, I followed Ria's instincts toward the training hollow where I knew my mate would be. But as I neared, a familiar jeering voice made my steps falter."If it isn't the barren little omega Bitch herself," Gamma Jared sneered as he swaggered into view. His lips curled in a cruel smirk. "Off to find your big strong 'Protector' are you?"I fought back the urge to cringe at his scathing words. Straightening my spine, I met his taunting glare. "I'm looking for Damien," I replied, proud that my voice remained steady. Jare

Gabriel POVI paced restlessly in my office, my muscular frame taut with pent-up energy. Those damn Silvermoon omegas were at it again, their constant attempts to undermine my authority grating on my last nerve. "Those omegas are up to something again," I growled, unable to mask my annoyance. Talon, my most trusted beta, nodded in solemn agreement. "They never learn, do they? After the humiliation we handed their alpha during the last conflict, you'd think they'd know better than to challenge your supremacy."Flashes of our previous confrontation with the Silvermoons played through my mind in vivid detail. The bone-crunching satisfaction of victory, the coppery scent of their alpha's blood filling the air – it had been glorious."It seems they are planning for revenge."Fury, my inner wolf, stirred within me at the recollection, a rising snarl of bloodlust thrumming beneath my skin."Calm down, Alpha." Talon's gruff timbre was laced with a calming effect, momentarily quelling Fury's

Lyra,I ran blindly into the dimly lit forest, my bare feet slapping against the loamy earth as branches whipped my face. Heart pounding, lungs burning, I pushed on relentlessly into the sheltering embrace of the ancient trees.Damien's betrayal had shattered me to the core, leaving me gutted and hollow inside. And now to learn that I carried the offspring of our clan's most hated rival?The graveness of it all threatened to push me to hell of regret which I might never escape."How dare he?... Why would he bring the Semen of our pack Enemy?"Why is he doing this to me?" I sobbed, tears streaming freely down my cheeks. "After everything we endured, how could Damien be so cruel?"Ria remained muted within the reaches of our shared bond, withdrawn into some unreachable depth inside my mindHer usual strong presence had receded, leaving me adrift in a turbulent sea of desolation with no anchor to cling to.What would my father say if he learned of this unforgivable misunderstanding?As t

17 hours earlierGabriel"You're carrying my heir, now come back...you can't defy fate!" I growled, my powerful alpha voice reverberating with an undeniable force. "Take your rightful place at my side, or you'll be captured!"I locked eyes on the sleek silver wolf fleeing into the night - the very female werewolf now pregnant with my child. Her intoxicating scent hung ripe in the air, stoking an insatiable drive within me to claim what was mine.Tensing my haunches, I prepared to give chase, but sudden shouts and commotion shattered the stillness around me."Stand down and surrender or we will open fire!" a gruff voice shouted. I whipped around to find myself surrounded by U.S. soldiers, their assault rifles trained on me.A rumble built in my broad chest as Fury, my bestial wolf counterpart, raged just beneath the surface."Those puny humans dare interfere with forces far beyond their comprehension," he snarled inside my head.In a blur, I launched myself at the nearest soldier, seiz

GabrielThe silence in my study was shattered as Talon burst through the door, eyes wild. "Alpha! You must see this at once."I turned from the window, frowning at his flustered state. "What is it? Have you found a lead on Lyra's whereabouts?""More than that," he said grimly, striding over to my desk and producing a tablet. "I had the hunters scour the human cities for any sign or footage of her. Look what they uncovered."He tapped the screen and security footage began playing, grainy but clear enough to make out. It showed Lyra - her silvery hair and lithe figure unmistakable - entering what looked like a human medical facility."There she is," I growled, leaning closer. "But she's not alone..."Indeed, a tall, dark-haired man in a leather jacket could be seen following a few paces behind Lyra. At first I thought little of it - until the man glanced up at the camera, his sharp features visible for just an instant.I felt my breath catch in my throat as icy realization washed over m
