Mag-log inLiena’s POV I knew exactly where this was coming from. Kael was not a fool, but neither was I. After hearing his conversation with Helena days ago, after learning what they had planned for me and my womb, I understood that every act of concern he showed me now came with another purpose hidden underneath it. He wanted me out of the main building. He wanted me away from the center of the estate. Away from the place that carried authority within the pack. Away from the home my family had built long before he ever became part of my life. I was not foolish enough to agree. I looked at him quietly for a moment before speaking. “It’s fine,” I said softly. His expression remained unchanged. “I appreciate your concern, but I’m comfortable staying in the main building.” Kael stood beside the bed, his posture straight, his face calm and unreadable, clearly unpleased with my response. “The smaller quarter is more suitable for your recovery,” he said evenly. “It has fewer disturbances.” I
Liena POV It was late at night when he came backin. The room was already quiet, the kind of quiet that felt heavy instead of peaceful. The soft light from the bedside lamp made everything look slower, almost frozen. I was still resting in bed, my body weak from everything that had happened in the past days. Then the door opened. Kael walked in. He was holding roses. Red ones. Fresh. Perfect. Like they had been chosen carefully, not out of love, but out of habit. He closed the door behind him with the same calm expression he always had. No rush. No emotion. Just controlled steps across the room with smiles. “Congratulations sweetheart,” he said flatly as he approached. His eyes briefly moved over me. I didn’t answer. He didn’t seem to expect me to. He placed the roses in a glass vase on the table near my bed. Then he adjusted them slightly, making sure they stood upright. Everything about him was calm. Then he turned to me. “I’ve been thinking,” he continued. “Once you are
Kael’s POV Later that evening, I found Helena in the corridor of the manor. Outside, darkness had already swallowed the estate, and what caught my attention was Helena looked angry. Helena was pacing. Each step seemed fueled by frustration. Her hands were clenched tightly at her sides, and every muscle in her body looked tense. The moment she noticed me, she stopped. Her eyes immediately locked onto mine. She looked furious. Not the loud, dramatic kind of fury. This was colder. Like she had been waiting for me specifically so she could unleash everything she had been holding back. For several seconds, neither of us spoke. Then she folded her arms. “I thought you told me you had everything handled and figured out.” Her voice sliced through the silence. I looked at her without reacting. My expression remained neutral as I had no interest in matching her anger. No interest in arguing. I simply waited as Helena stared at me expectantly. When I didn’t respond immediately, irritatio
Liena’s POV Kael looked shocked. For a brief second, the emotion flashed across his face before he quickly hid it behind a look of excitement. A nervous smile. His eyes remained fixed on me as if he couldn’t quite believe what he had just heard. “Pregnant?” he repeated. The room was silent again. His voice sounded calm, but there was something strange underneath it. He looked at the doctor’s file being given to him by Mara. “Are you sure?” he asked. Mara immediately nodded as Kael continued. “The results are accurate?” He ask again. His question made my chest tighten. The doctor had already left, but it felt like he was questioning the result itself. “Of course alpha they’re accurate,” Mara answered sharply. Kael nodded slowly. His expression remained controlled. “Right.” He add. Then a few seconds later, he asked again. “There wasn’t any mistake during testing?” Mara looked annoyed now as I simply stared at him. Why was he asking so many questions? Then something sudde
Liena POV Panic immediately gripped me. Four hours? That was impossible. It felt like only seconds had passed. My heartbeat quickened. I looked around nervously. Then one question immediately entered my mind. “Where’s Kael?” Mara hesitated. The brief pause told me everything before she even answered. “He hasn’t arrived yet.” A bitter feeling settled inside me. Of course he hadn’t. Part of me had hoped he would be here. Even after everything. Even after all the disappointment. A small part of me still hoped. I hated that part of myself. Before either of us could say anything else, the door opened. A female doctor entered carrying a medical file. She wore a warm smile. “Good afternoon, Luna.” I nodded politely as the doctor walked closer. She glanced down at the file before looking back at me. “Your test results are finally back.” I straightened slightly. The serious look on Mara’s face made my stomach tighten. The doctor smiled. Then she said the last thing I expected. “Con
Liena’s POV I stay seated in the sitting room, keeping my attention on the television while paying no attention to whatever was happening with them. At least, that was what it looked like from the outside. In reality, I wasn’t paying attention to the tv show either. The voices coming from the screen sounded distant. The colors flashed across the television, but I couldn’t focus on any of them. My thoughts were somewhere else entirely. I kept my expression calm and neutral. No anger. No sadness. No disappointment. Meanwhile, across the room, Kael, Helena, and Ethan were still together. From where I sat, they looked like a perfect little family. The sight should have hurt less by now. It didn’t. Every time I looked at them, I was reminded of everything that had happened. I felt like an outsider in my own home. I lowered my eyes to the plate of fruit resting on my lap and took a bite. Normally, I enjoyed fruit in the morning. Today, even the smell seemed strange. For a few moment
Liena POV His touch, his closeness, even something as simple as him offering me food made everything inside me revolt. The disgust ran deep now. It went past the point of hiding. My wolf felt restless inside me. She did not want this anymore. She wanted freedom, not this empty shell of a marriag
Liena POV I didn’t say a word. I just forced a short smile and looked down at my plate. My fork moved slowly, pushing a few crumbs around in small circles. The dining room felt smaller now that Helena and Ethan had left. The big table, now seemed empty and cold. Kael still sat across from me.
Liena’s POV Daniel Harper was the man responsible for handling the contract Kael wanted so badly. To the outside world, he was a powerful businessman who oversaw major investments and billion-dollar agreements. People respected him because he had the authority to move deals forward or stop them c
Liena’s POV The next morning, breakfast was served in the main dining room. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting a warm glow across the long table. The smell of fresh meals filled the room. Normally, the scent would have been comforting, but today it did little to improve my mood
