HELENA “The Alpha wants her alive.” Those were the lastwords it said before a massive paw hooked beneath my arm and dragged me out of the twisted car.Agony exploded through my shoulder.“Let go!” I screamed, kicking wildly.I clawed at its face, earning a furious snarl as my nails scraped through thick fur.I twisted with everything I had, throwing my weight backward to break free. For one heartbeat, I almost succeeded.Then another wolf slammed into me from the side and I lost my footing. My body crashed onto the gravel, straight onto my stomach. Pain unlike anything I had ever known ripped through me and a cry tore from my throat as both arms wrapped protectively around my abdomen.“My baby…” I whispered, trying to get away but the wolves closed in, one dragging me from behind with my legs. I screamed again just as one of them opened its jaws, teeth sharp and pointed.Only for a roar split the night.We all paused, the silence deafening just as something huge burst from the

HELENAMy head was spinning as I stood outside the owner’s suite, the slammed door still echoing. The pregnancy test burned against my palm like a secret I wasn’t ready to weaponize yet.I needed to think. How could I salvage this?The originals. The thought cut through the chaos.Brent forged my signatures. What if there was some kind of proof? I could only contest the forgeries if I had the real documents with proper timestamps and metadata. And the fraud had happened internally. I was certain of it. Brent and Vanessa had used my office. My systems. The evidence had to be there.I hurried down the stairs, missing a step in my haste before colliding with Victor as he rushed toward me. His face was ashen, eyes wide with panic.“Helena, I—” His voice cracked. “Things are fucked. Everybody is calling me—sponsors, board members, even league reps. I don’t know what to do. The news is spreading like wildfire and—“I grabbed his arm, steadying both of us.“Lock it down, Victor. Right no

HELENAHe opened his mouth to speak but I silenced him with one gesture.I held up a hand between us before he could utter another lie.Then a broken laugh escaped my lips. Did he really take me for a fool?That I would take his contract, demean myself and my legacy for him?My fingers tightened around the pregnancy test.The future I’d dreamed about was still in my hand.But this?This was over.I lifted my chin and planted both feet firmly on the floor.“I don’t care what excuse you’ve prepared. I will not be giving you any more chances to destroy what we have left,” I said, bending to pick up the document from the bed.They stood in silence, watching as my hands held both sides of the document.And in one perfect motion. Tore it in half.Vanessa flinched and Brent’s jaw ticked. I should have seen all the signs from the beginning but I had loved him. Excused his silly behaviour and tantrums. No more.“I want a divorce,” I spat and Vanessa’s eyes darted to Brent for reassurance.I

HELENAMy jaw should have snapped shut by now.But it didn’t.“A–Are you certain?” I whispered, voice cracking as my fingers trembled around the pregnancy test. Three years. Three years of sterile rooms, hormone shots, and silent nights crying in the shower while Brent grew more distant. Three years of hoping a baby might pull us back together.The doctor nodded, her eyes warm. “Positive, Ms. Vale. Congratulations.”A raw, disbelieving laugh tore from my throat, quickly dissolving into hot tears that streamed down my cheeks. I pressed my free hand to my stomach—still flat, still miraculous. There’s a life in here and it was ours. Joy crashed over me, bright and desperate, so fierce it hurt. Brent would lose his mind. He’d scoop me up and spin me around like he used to, back when his eyes still lit up at the sight of me.But the joy curdled almost instantly. He hadn’t looked at me that way in months. No kisses before practice. No random “I miss you” calls. No reaching for me in b
