Chapter: Chapter 143: To weak to survive The Wolf didn't answer. He just stared down at my trembling hands clutching his chest, his eyes entirely flat.Then I remembered. The Wolf couldn't stand seeing me cry. It unsettled him. It cracked the absolute control he liked to hold over me.So I let the tears fall.I squeezed my eyes shut and let out a broken, shuddering sob, my fingers digging harder into his skin. Hot tears spilled over my eyelashes, running down my feverish cheeks and dripping onto my collarbone."Please," I sobbed, my voice cracking completely. "Bring him back. Bring Eilis back to me."The Wolf's chest expanded under my palms. His jaw clenched so hard a muscle twitched in his cheek, and his hand shot down to grab my wrist. He pulled my fingers off him, but he didn't let go."Stop crying," he said, his voice dropping an octave.I didn't stop. I couldn't stop. The terror of carrying two babies, with one so weak it was fading."I need Eilis

Chapter: Chapter 142: Carrying TwoThe Wolf pulled back, his jaw set in a hard line as he stared down at my trembling body."Stay here," he ordered.He didn't wait for me to answer. He yanked his trousers on, crossed the floor in broad strides, and threw the door open."Get the healers," he barked into the corridor. "Now!"Footsteps scrambled against the floor outside, and within minutes, two senior healers rushed through the doorway clutching their wooden medic kits.The moment they crossed the threshold, they froze.The Wolf stood towering over them, bare-chested with blood still smeared across his upper lip from his broken nose.The younger healer gasped, dropping his wooden kit. It hit the rug with a loud crash, sending glass vials and dried herbs rolling across the floor."In," the Wolf growled, pointing a thick finger toward the mattress where I lay shivering.Neither of them dared to pick up the fallen tools. Pale and trembling violently, they rushed to the edge of the bed. The older healer wiped his sweaty hand

Chapter: Chapter 141: Get Up!The heat of his seed inside me was still fresh, but as the Wolf pulled me down against his chest, the adrenaline holding me together completely vanished. My skin felt like it was on fire, but my teeth started chattering violently. I tried to push off his chest to get off him, but my arms gave out immediately, my elbows slipping on his skin. "Raven?" The Wolf’s voice lost its smug edge, his hands catching my waist to keep me from sliding off the bed. My vision blurred, the dark corners of the room spinning together. Every breath took heavy effort, and my belly felt unnaturally tight, like the pregnancy was leeching whatever strength I had left straight out of my limbs. Sweat broke out across my forehead, icy cold against my flushed skin. "Get... off," I choked out, but the words barely made it past my lips. My chest hit his, my head dropping onto his shoulder because I literally couldn't hold my own neck up anymore. The Wolf sat up, shifting my weight into his arms. He bro

Chapter: Chapter 140: Please Me"Is that what you want, my sweet?" His warm hands caressed my body as he gently undressed me, unbuttoning my pants and easing them down my hips.I trembled under him, my mind at war with itself over what to do. Should I fight and make it harder for myself, or allow him to do whatever he wanted, with the promise that he would keep his word?"Just play along, pretty please? I don't want to hurt you. You don't want me to hurt the baby, right?"He carefully lifted my shirt over my head, his eyes never leaving mine, and every touch sent shivers down my spine. "How are you going to please me tonight?"I was smart enough to realize the indirect threat: no one was coming to save me. I was on my own, so why make it harder for myself? Pulse racing, I pulled my feet up onto the mattress and spread my legs, exposing myself willingly.His nostrils flared, and he pushed my thighs farther apart. "Look at how pretty you are, being so forthcoming. I scared you, didn't I?"Heat filled the gold eyes tha

Chapter: Chapter 139: Please Don'tRaven The moment my feet crossed the threshold, the Wolf reached out and kicked the door shut. The door slammed into the frame, and the iron latch dropped into place with a loud, final thud, locking us back in the shadows of the bedchamber.Cold water was still dripping from his hair and chest onto the rug, but he didn't seem to notice. His eyes never left my face as he slowly walked toward me.I backed up until the edge of the table pressed against the back of my thighs. My hands stayed glued to my belly, my knuckles white as I held my breath."Stop looking at me like that," the Wolf murmured. "I told you. I'm not going to hurt you.”"You just killed a man," I choked out, my voice trembling despite my best efforts. "You threatened to break a girl's neck. And you want to destroy my child. How am I supposed to look at you?""I am not going to hurt ‘you’," he repeated, emphasizing the word as he took another step closer. He stopped just inches away, towering over me. "I told you why

Chapter: Chapter 138: ThreatenedRavenI burst into the corridor, my shoulder slamming hard against the doorframe as I stumbled out.The two royal guards posted outside immediately whipped around, their hands flying to the hilted swords at their belts."My consort!" the first guard shouted, his eyes darting over my disheveled hair, my bare feet, and the terror on my face. "What's wrong? What happened?"I couldn't form words. My lungs burned, and my stomach was tight. I didn't stop to explain. I just backed away down the hallway, pointing a trembling hand toward the open door of our bedchamber."Inside," I gasped out. "Don't—"The guards didn't wait for me to finish. The second guard drew his blade, stepping cautiously up to the threshold and peering inside the darkened room.I watched his face. In an instant, his eyes widened in horror.Before he could draw a breath to sound an alarm, a hand shot out from the shadow of the doorway.A sickening crunch echoed through the quiet corridor, followed by a choked scream.M

Chapter: Slutty princeEVANDERTheo’s eyelids lifted. His dark eyes were glazed with pleasure, but after a moment, horror took over. Horror and wariness, as if he were bracing for a blow.My gaze traveled down to my own hand wrapped around Theo’s throat, then to the raw, bloody bite mark on his neck. The mark I’d left.I couldn't look away. Blood trickled from the small wound, and something like satisfaction twisted my insides, mingling with a deep unease.Modern Alphas didn’t bite each other’s throats. They certainly didn’t draw blood. It was taboo for a reason.“Let go.”The voice seemed to come from far away.I couldn’t tear my gaze from the bite mark or my hand around his throat. The sight was enthralling. I squeezed.“Evander,” said a shaky voice. “Get off me.”I didn’t move.“Evander!”I flinched, suddenly aware of my surroundings.I was lying on top of Theo. His bare legs were splayed to accommodate my thigh between them. My thigh was wet with his come. Theo was still half-hard, and I was harder.“Le

Chapter: Out of controlHis grip on my scruff was paralyzing my muscles as he dragged me down the hallway.Pain shot down my spine, but the humiliation of being hauled like a wounded animal broke through the haze in my brain. I wasn't going to let him do this.As we passed the archway near his quarters, I gathered every ounce of strength left in my body. I drove my elbow back with everything I had, slamming it directly into his ribs.The blow landed hard against his side. Evander let out a sharp grunt, his fingers loosening on the back of my neck for just a split second.That was all I needed.I tore myself out of his hold, the rough skin of my neck burning as I broke free. I didn't look back. I stumbled forward, my boots skidding against the slick floor as I sprinted down the private corridor toward my own room."Theo!" his voice roared behind me, thick and terrifying, but I was already at my door.I slammed my hand against the bio-scanner. The lock chimed green, the door slid open, and I threw myself insid

Chapter: Why do you smell like that?My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought my father would hear it."Maintenance issues are for the quartermaster to deal with, General," My father said dismissively, already turning back toward the stairs. "Dismissed. Rest up. We have a full council meeting at noon to review the reports.""Yes, Your Majesty," Evander said, bowing his head.The King marched off, his royal guards falling into formation behind him. I didn't waste a single second. I turned on my heel to follow, eager to get as far away from the military bay as humanly possible, with Oliver keeping a tight pace right beside me."Theo," Oliver whispered under his breath, his voice laced with panic. "He knows. He fucking knows.""Shut up and keep walking," I gritted out, keeping my eyes locked on the end of the corridor."Prince Theodore."Evander's voice boomed down the hallway. I froze.Before I could speed up my pace, footsteps echoed behind us. Evander cut across the hall, stepping cleanly into my path and bloc

Chapter: The general is backOliver didn't waste any time. He slipped out of the clinic, leaving me alone in the room with Sian.The silence between us was heavy. Sian turned toward the back wall, booting up his chemical extraction unit and setting out clean glass vials. I sat on the metal stool, resting my elbows on my knees while sweat trickled down the back of my neck."If the fabric is too clean, this won't work, Your Highness," Sian said, his voice quiet as he adjusted the settings. "Extraction needs active biological residue. If it was washed recently, there won't be enough left.""He wore it three days ago," I rasped, my throat feeling like sandpaper. "It's drenched in his scent."Sian just nodded, keeping his eyes on his console while the machine started to hum.Ten minutes later, the clinic door unlocked. Oliver slipped back inside, looking winded. He had Evander's dark wool cloak tucked under his jacket."Nobody saw me," Oliver panted, locking the door and handing the cloak to Sian. "The east wing was

Chapter: Knot-bondedWe headed straight for the medical wing before the halls got crowded.Sian was already in his office, setting out tools on his desk. He looked neat as usual—clean lab coat, dark hair brushed back, looking like an innocent Omega who never broke a single rule in his life.He froze the second Oliver shut the door behind us and locked it."Your Highness," Sian said, looking between me and Oliver. "The clinic isn't open yet. If you need something—""Save it, Doc," I grunted, sitting down hard on an examination stool. "This isn't a social visit."Sian looked at my face, taking in my pale skin and the sweat on my forehead. "You look ill, Prince Theodore. If this is another one of your attempts to—""It's not," Oliver cut in, stepping between us. "We need a blood panel and a pheromone scan. Off the record. No logs, no reports to the council."Sian stared at Oliver like he was crazy. "I don't do off-the-record exams. Every scan automatically goes to the palace directory. It's royal protocol."

Chapter: Sneaking InI kicked off the heavy blankets, gasping for air as sweat soaked through my nightshirt. My heart was hammering against my ribs, and my skin felt raw, like every nerve ending was exposed to bare ice.It wasn't a fever. I knew what a fever felt like. This was a hollow ache pulsing right beneath my sternum, an agonizing craving that made my stomach churn and my hands shake uncontrollably.My body was screaming for Evander.I dragged myself out of bed and staggered across the floor to the basin. I splashed freezing water over my face, but it did nothing to dull the burning itch.It was withdrawal. Pure, pathetic pheromone withdrawal. Being completely severed from his scent for three days hadn't reset my system, it just left me starved of him."Fuck," I choked out, gripping the edges of the marble basin until my knuckles turned white.I couldn't stay in my room. Driven by an embarrassing impulse, I pulled up my comm-link and pinged Oliver. I forced him to drive out to the palace in the mi
