Masuk“Congratulations.” Alpha Fionn cleared his throat. “Still, we need the Alpha King and the Luna Queen if we are to make sure the shield is impenetrable. I’ll write to the Scarletsnow Pack, the Crescent Woods Pack, and the Ashborn Pack to double their security too.”“We should send word to the Blackwind Pack and Nightblood Pack too, Kal,” I chimed in.“Yes,” he replied absentmindedly, his gaze beyond the glass roof above, past the moon and stars. “I’ll do that, sweetheart.”Fionn didn’t say anything when Kal called me sweetheart. He just licked his lips and pretended not to let his mouth twitch a bit. It did.I rolled my eyes. The Alpha Fionn of the Moonflame Pack, brother to Alpha Vance of the Blackwind Pack, the brother who I thought was just strict and firm and never had a sense of humor in him, had just winked at me as he looked at Kal and me back and forth when my mate called me sweetheart.I tapped my mate on the shoulder. “What?” my mate blinked.“Where are you looking at? Our me
“Kal.” I told myself not to panic, to remain calm when my heart is tested. “Kallias.” But Kal noticed the panic in my eyes. He followed the path of my gaze. The figure with my father’s likeness and blonde hair was now gone. I gasped. “He...He was just right there, Kallias!” Kal now rushed to me when I almost crashed to the floor in distress. Fortunately, I managed to grip the tree I was leaning on and righted myself. “What is it?” he demanded.“Who.”“What?”I swallowed the lump in my throat. “Who. You should be asking who. There—” I pointed to where I saw who I believe to be my father with blonde hair. “He was there, Kallias. My father with blonde hair was there!”“It can’t be your father, Evadne. He’s imprisoned in his misery there in the Prison of Despair.”“I know, Kal!" I wiped the sweat from my brow, the chill wind making the back of my neck shudder. "But I am sure who I saw. It’s clearly him with blue eyes and blonde hair! I can’t be mistaken
We worked on a quarter of the cottage’s frame. When my stomach kept on rumbling loudly, which made Kal worry and me wince, he sent for female Omegas for another round of food since we hadn't eaten much at lunch earlier. This time, they were a proper meal. “It seems like your pregnant mate cannot survive without proper lunch and wait for an early dinner,” I chuckled while munching on fried potatoes and a venison steak smothered in butter. “Are you sure you won’t sit down with me, Kal? You’re working hard on that.” Kallias cut through another pine wood and smoothed it before erecting it to form one of the cottage’s pillars, his muscles protruding from his sleeves. “You enjoy your meal, sweetheart. Your Alpha King here is having way more fun than he expected.” “Indeed, my back hurts already.” True enough, even when just being weeks pregnant, I am already feeling the first rough brunt of it. Not that I despise pregnancy; it’s an honor to be blessed. But
I snorted in laughter and then moaned again. His thrusts were so fast and hard that it made me bend even more and cry out ‘yes’ so many times. Kal was holding my hair like the reins of a horse the entire time, his other hand on my waist.“Oh, how I love it when His Majesty is busy with his mate!” I exclaimed. He laughed darkly, and it made him move rougher instead. When Kallias became silent, I knew it’s the sign that he’s on the verge of climax, and I too became consumed by moans and gasps and misty breath unfurling from my lips. The cold never bothered us, thanks to the magic when one belongs to a pack; it keeps them unbothered by the eternal winter. “Kallias!” I felt him coming first, emptying his seed deep within me. He was still inside me and made little moves until those same movements made me come too.“Evadne.” He didn’t pull out when we began another round. This time, he was sprawled on the snow as I positioned myself above him, giving him
Evadne’s POVTelling Kallias that I’m pregnant went smoother than I thought. I thought he’d be hysterical and even be frantic to remove the baby since war is looming on the horizon and he cannot let me and our unborn distract him. “You were never a distraction, nor is our little one.” “Our little ones,” I corrected. “They may be twins, I told you yesterday.” I kissed him on the nose. “Don’t tell anyone yet of my delicate condition. Let’s keep it a secret until I’m showing.”Although I'm not sure about that, considering how rumors spread like wildfire. And today, after breakfast, Kallias decided to surprise me with something. He wasn’t wearing a cloak or his Alpha King clothes. He told me to wear something loose and comfortable that I could move freely in. He was wearing gray pants and a loose shirt. I was wearing a blue loose and flowy dress. We reached the eastern border of the Moonflame Pack, where it was crowded with moonwood trees. T
Kallias’ POV (written in 3rd person)Secrets and lies are the things Kallias knew he was not good at. Even if he’s the Alpha King. And especially if he’s doing either or both to his mate. “Are you even listening to what I’m saying, Kal?” She looked angry and irritated now. She leaned toward him. “I said the pregnant Healer from the Scarletsnow Pack confirmed that I’m pregnant too.” She blushed as she continued whispering. “And that they may be twins.” Kallias blinked. “P-Pregnant? T-Twins?” His legs gave up and crashed to the floor. It earned the looks of almost everyone having their lunch.“K-Kallias?” Evadne’s throat bobbed. “I’m fine,” he squeaked. He’s not fine. Upon finding out she’s pregnant, Kallias became more of a messy crushed ice than an intimidating frozen statue. “You’re not fine! Stop saying that!” she scolded. Her voice was strong enough that he yelped back into his seat. “What’s wrong with you?!” “I said nothi
The night blurred into Kal’s quick inspection of the pack grounds, although at the back of my mind, he’s just scanning for suspicious faces. Or for the Alpha of the Blackwind Pack himself. “Kallias,” I called out to him softly. No response. He just kept striding away, not pa
Elodie’s POV (written in 3rd person)Elodie snorted. “I know that. You used to be a piss-poor Alpha, if you were to ask me.”Cold wind caressed Elodie’s bare skin. She was stripped naked, thanks to her father’s ongoing punishment that she should be denied any clothes until he ordered it again. She
His words remained suspended in the air as I processed each word carefully. “I thought mother died of childbirth?” “She did...” he sighed before adding, “She also did not.” I scoffed and straightened my back. “For what it’s worth, I think mother dying early is a salvation fo
“You look like you’ve been through shit.” I was on her threshold and she was holding what seemed to be a cup of jasmine tea when I knocked. I brushed my snowy shoes on her rags as Beta Geneva swiped the door open. “I was. In fact, I—” But then I shook my head. I cannot tell Beta Geneva ab
