ALPHA ANDRAS Sensation pulses through me as I feel the baby kicking. My own baby, not someone else's baby, mine and mine alone!When Azalea places her hands on mine and we start to caress her stomach together, different waves of emotion washes over me.My wolf howls in approval too. Amongst the two of us, he's the happiest, a day like this has always been his dream. To feel a part of him living, breathing and moving even before it's born. And for the first time in years, tears pull at the corner of my eyes, and I don't fucking care how that might seem to anyone.As an Alpha king, I've witnessed other alphas like me break down in tears at the news of their Luna being pregnant, and I'd always wonder what exactly makes them so emotional. The one I found to be even more complicated is the full blown smile I see on their faces while their hands are gently rubbing the stomach of their pregnant luna.And now I finally get a chance to know why. The feeling is second to none, it's totally uniq

AZALEAI go to bed with my heart in my mouth because of the look I saw in Jenna's face when she walked in on Alpha Andras and I hurdled up on the floor together.The last time something like this happened, she had threatened to make me suffer till I begged her to let me die, but she wouldn't until after I gave birth and I honestly don't think she was bluffing.I saw hatred in her eyes that day, so much hatred that almost made me pee in my panties right on the spot. And I'm sure I would have seen a more intense one today if Alpha Andras hadn't instructed me to leave.Right now sleeping is the last thing I want to do, it brings no relief yet my body wants it. The fear will stop soon, I just have to ignore it like always. A yawn leaves my mouth and I sigh dejectedly and for some reason I want the bedroom lights to be on tonight.“Might be the pregnancy”. My subconscious proclaims and I nod my head in agreement. Yes it is. I really hope it is.My back graces the softness of the bed and I c

I lie down to sleep in my bed after an exhausting day working in the castle and I find myself being pulled back in the forest, but this time around, I notice there aren't as many tall trees. It's just me standing by the brink of what looks like a swing. It takes me a second to realize that I am standing at the brink of a huge tree branch, not a goddamn swing. I scream, wanting to take a step back, but then it feels like I'm stuck in this particular position. My breath stiffens and a gasp leaves my mouth, before I can say or do anything, I feel myself being pushed forward.I scream, shutting my eyes out of fear. Gawd! I pray to the moon goddess that my outstretched hands find something I can hold onto.As the wind whispers through the trees, I open my eyes and just like I prayed, I'm hanging precariously from another tree branch, my heart pounding in my chest. Tears stream down my face, blurring my vision as I desperately cling to the only safety I have left. Fear consumes me, wrapping

The sudden loud knock on my door has me palpitating in fear. As soon as I open the door, Fiona dashes into my room like one who's being chased.“By the moon goddess Fiona! You'd better have a good information at the tip of your tongue!”. I spit fiercely, rubbing my hand against my forehead. “Geeezzzzz…you scared me!”.“I-I'm sorry my queen…I just couldn't help it”. She stammers out, breathing heavily.I roll my eyes and scoff. “Speak”.She gulps hard. “I saw Alpha Andras and Azalea in the garden behind the private wing, her head was resting on his shoulders while his arms were wrapped around her waist”.My face contorts into a frown instantly but Fiona doesn't stop there, she continues.“My queen, you needed to see them, they kept staring at each other so passionately, Alpha Andras was rubbing her belly softly while she kept smiling at him, like she's in lo–”.I cut her off immediately, half yelling. “Enough!”She shivers and steps backwards, her arm reaching out to the door and hold

ALPHA ANDRAS“I'm sorry but we lost the baby”.The royal doctor announces, stepping out of Azalea's room. I meet his gaze with a steely resolve, my expression masking the storm raging within me.“What did you say?”. I command, my tone as cold as ice. I heard him, but I wasn't quite sure what sense to make out of his words.He hesitates for a moment, balls of sweat cascading down his hairline before repeating. "We lost the baby".Jenna gasps, throwing a baleful gaze my way before letting out a loud wail. Her eyes looks like they're about to pop out of her socket while the royal doctor's words swirls around me like a cloud of poisonous fumes.Theoretically, I understand what they mean but I can't comprehend them. Lost the baby means no baby. No baby means no offspring of Andras Monet. No offspring of Andras Monet means no heir from Andras Monet.For a fleeting moment, the world seems to stop spinning and the walls of my carefully constructed fortress crumbles around me, leaving me vulner
