OMEGA MARY Right when things calm down, the Alpha has not one but two pregnant women. I examined the positive pregnancy test on the Alpha’s and Luna’s bathroom sink. I quickly threw it away, wishing I had never seen it. I’m not sure who I feel sorry for more. Zira was obviously in love with someone else’s mate; she tried to get away, and now she’s trapped with having his baby. Luna Alaia, the new girl who just got married to a guy who impregnated another girl, so she hurried to get pregnant to compete. Who don’t I feel sorry for? Isaiah. He deserves a bit of drama, and I hope he gets hell for all this. He shouldn’t be having unprotected sex with people who aren’t your chosen mate because, ultimately, the women get to bear the hard part of it. The only good thing about this is the excellent writing material I could use for my book. I have to think of a good name. The Messy Trio? No. Bermuda Baby Triangle? Ha! That’s crazy. Being surrounded by drama tends to freak me out. Too many

ALAIA News about my pregnancy spread like wildfire, overshadowing the fact that Zira was also pregnant. Isaiah was excited, but I could tell he was nervous. It made sense. Becoming a father of not one but two babies by two different women only a few months apart can be taxing. When he told Isabella, her reaction was subpar, but Zira’s reaction was puzzling. She looked as if she wanted to cry. Not from sadness but excitement. I thought she would at least be nervous about the competition, but maybe she didn’t see it that way. I was wondering what was going on, but I will find out. The following week, Isaiah left to attend business with my brother, giving me time to figure out what to do with this grimoire. Things were looking bright for me. Now, if only there was a way to see the contents of the grimoire, and I could get rid of Zira for good. That’s all I wanted, and I could be happy. Well, as happy as I could be without James. My moment of solitude was interrupted by a knock on

ZACK I couldn’t believe I had found her here of all the places. I dropped the guy on the ground and followed the scent down the dark corridor. The scent of wild berries and honey filled my nostrils along with...blood. As I approached the door, sigils illuminated the walls and ceilings. I could feel the protection spell tattooed on my back, beginning to burn. The only way I knew strong, dark magic was at play here. I ignored the burn and walked through the door. I didn’t know what to expect when I walked in, but it wasn’t what I thought. The room was big, with walls covered with books as far as the eye could see. There was an enormous desk in front of me decorated with all sorts of cutting materials, from swords to surgical tools to daggers. Her scent pulled me further in until I saw her. I froze at the sight of her. She was tied up on a wall, badly bruised. Her face was covered by long, unkempt red hair. She wore a bloodied bra and black ripped jeans with a studded belt. She ha

ZIRAGreat. Looking at myself in the mirror in another hospital room. I was wearing one of those stupid gowns, waiting for the doctor. My neck felt sore around the choker, and I was trying to remove it when I heard a scream from another room. That was normal in a place like this. At least, that was what I told myself as I hopped off the exam table. This must be the price of making a hard decision like I had to. I paced around the room, second-guessing everything that led up to this point. I was making the right decision, right? The risk is too great and...I could have a baby later in the future. Unless something happens during the operation that turns my womb into a hostile environment. Then my mate might really reject me. I would be a mate-less, motherless werewolf. GAH! I’m overthinking again. Maybe this was a bad idea. I started to pick up my clothes and leave when the door opened. A doctor and two smiling nurses walked in. Despite the screaming next door, they seemed in a great

ALAIA "Dammit!" I smashed the mirror, showing Isabella barging into the hospital's room to stop the doctor and nurses. I was so close, and Isabella had to butt in. How the hell did she know something was wrong? Why can't things just go my way for once? "Why?" Elaine asked me. "Why can't you just be happy with what you have?" "Because it's not enough, Elaine. Can't you see that? As long as she is here, she's a threat!" I yelled at her. I was pissed and needed an outlet or someone to blame. "As long as her baby is here, it threatens mine." "But it doesn't have to be that way, Alaia. She agreed to your terms. She doesn't want Isaiah. She doesn't want to be Luna. All these insecurities are of your own making. Can't you see that!" Elaine snapped back. I took a moment to reign in my anger. Adding more stress to my already stressful situation wouldn't be good. It wasn't good for the baby, which was more important than anything else. "Maybe you've been spending too much time with
