LOGINChapter 61Harper’s povThen he grabbed my chin, his face inches away from mine as he stared into my eyes intently. “You have to stay at the south wing at all times. Please. “ Then his mind seemed to be somewhere else after that and he left. I stood there for a second, staring at the closed door, my chest tight with frustration and a deep, aching hurt that I couldn’t shake. “You can’t stop me,” I yelled after him, my voice echoing down the hallway. “You can’t keep me locked up forever, Pedro! I won’t let you! You hear me? I won’t let you do this to me!”Maria and Alma returned a few minutes later, their faces careful and professional. Maria held out a small bottle of painkillers. “These should help with the headache and any lingering discomfort,” she said gently. “Take two now and see how you feel. It’ll make things easier. You’ve been through a lot today.”I rejected them out of anger, pushing the bottle away. “I don’t want them. I’m fine. Just leave me alone. I don’t need your pil
Chapter 60He didn’t reply at first and just paced around the ward until I repeated myself. “I don’t see our relationship leading anywhere,” I said, my voice steady but tired. “For the sake of my unborn baby, I need to be free from anything or anyone that’ll tamper with my emotions constantly. And that includes you.”I kept on rambling when he still remained quiet, the words spilling out faster than I could stop them. “I’m not leaving you completely. I just need to be away from the pack house. I could get an apartment somewhere in your territory and even get a job. Something simple. Something that lets me breathe. I can’t keep living like this, Pedro. Locked away, waiting for the next fight or the next threat. It’s too much. I feel like I’m suffocating here. Every day is another argument, another reminder that I don’t belong. I’m tired of feeling like a prisoner in a pretty cage.”He finally stopped pacing, turning to face me. His expression was unreadable, but I could see the tension
Chapter 59Pedro’s povI knew this and assured her that I’d continue the bloodline. “I’ll make sure the bloodline continues,” I said, my voice low but firm. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll do what needs to be done. The pack will have an heir. I swear it.”Seraphina nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. “Good. I knew I could count on you. You’ve always been the strong one. The one who gets things done. I’m proud of you for that.”She paused for a moment, studying me with those sharp eyes that always seemed to see too much. “I have to commend you for how you lengthened your deadline with the High Council. That was clever. You’ve always been a coercive leader, Pedro. You know how to twist things to your advantage when you need to. It’s a gift. Use it well.”I gave no response, my mind still on Harper and the empty space on that screen. The silence stretched between us, heavy and uncomfortable. I could feel her watching me, waiting for me to say something, but I had nothing
Chapter 58Pedro’s povI didn’t want to believe anything the healers were saying, so I stayed outside the ward and allowed them to figure things out properly. The door to the private room was closed, but I could still hear the low murmur of their voices inside. Maria and Alma were doing everything they could, but my mind wouldn’t stop racing. What if they were wrong? What if Harper wasn’t going to wake up? What if this was the beginning of the end? The thought made my wolf pace restlessly inside me, a constant, gnawing worry that I couldn’t shake.My mother appeared at the end of the hallway, her steps quick and purposeful. She stopped when she saw me, her eyes narrowing with concern. “What’s wrong with Harper?” she asked, her voice sharp but laced with something almost like worry. “I heard you were running through the corridors with her in your arms. Tell me the truth, Pedro. Is she alright? Don’t lie to me. I can see it in your face that something is very wrong.”I rubbed the back o
Chapter 57Pedro’s pov“Pedro, your mother has something that could help you mate with Harper safely. She could conceive without complications. We’ve discussed it. It’s the best option for the bloodline,” my father’s voice came through the mindlink, calm and calculated as always.I angrily cut the mindlink and focused on Harper’s checkup. I didn’t want to hear another word from him. Not now. Not when Harper was lying there unconscious and the sonographer was working on her belly with that worried look on his face. I pushed the link away, blocking any further attempts from my father to reach me. The last thing I needed was his voice in my head while I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my mate.But at that moment was when the sonographer and the healers gasped in shock. On the screen, he could see a space where I assumed was where the foetus was meant to be, however, it was empty. Even to me, it looked strange as I remembered the diagrams of foetuses I’d seen back in school a
Chapter 56Pedro’s povChapter 33When his father said his mother had something that could help him mate with Harper and she’d conceive safely, Pedro angrily cut the mindlink and focused on Harper’s checkup. But at that moment was when the sonographer and the healers gasped in shock. On the screen, he could see a space where he assumed was where the foetus was meant to be, however, it was empty. Even to him, it looked strange as he remembered the diagrams of foetuses he’d seen back in school and they didn’t look anything like what he was looking at. The sonographer and the healers huddled together, trying to understand what was happening. Pedro demanded answers, already thinking if his mate wasn’t actually pregnant but the healers explained to him that every condition and symptom that ascertains that there was pregnancy was intact inside Harper’s womb, however, there just wasn’t a foetus. Or one they could see, said the sonographerChapter 33When my father said his mother had somethi
Chapter OneHarper The rooftop terrace of the pack house looked absolutely perfect.I smoothed down the front of my silk dress and smiled at the dining table. I had spent the entire afternoon baking. Trays of warm vanilla pastries, roasted meats, and sweet breads sat under the soft glow of the fai
Chapter 5Harper’s povIt took me about 10 seconds to realize what Quinton, Pedro’s father had just implied. A tiny whimper left my lips and I clamped my mouth shut. A breeder?Of course I was nothing but a lowly omega but I had never thought I would be forced to only breed for an alpha. I could
Chapter FourPedros large, tattooed hand remained hovering just inches from my stomach. The golden fire in his eyes had completely vanished, replaced by a dark, terrifying storm. His chest heaved with every ragged breath he took."I asked you a question, Harper,"Pedro growled, his voice dropping so
Chapter ThreeHarper I stared at Pedro, my heart doing frantic somersaults in my chest. "Your mate? That is impossible. I was married to Elec for three years. If there was a bond, I would have felt it."Pedro leaned even closer, his shadow swallowing me whole. "Elec is a fool who wouldnt know a fa
