LOGINThree Years Later Zaidenâs POV My birthday was at the corner, Tomorrow, Adrian had been pressuring me to make it a celebration which I didnât want a celebration. I hadnât wanted one for three years. Adrian stubborn as always, refused to listen. âYouâre still my Alpha,â he had said. âAnd if Karen was alive, she wouldâve wanted this for you. If you're worried about having to do everything your self, worry no more that's why we are here, everything will be covered by us. Invitation, food drinks, gifts everything you can think of.â He said explained. "Fine, I'll be there, can you let me be now?" I asked. "Of course Alpha." He said and laughed and went back to his office. *On that morning* They had prepared a surprise for me when I woke up which I was grateful for, the brought their gift and wishes which I appreciated. *At the party* People trying too hard to pretend joy didnât feel wrong around me, they tried to make the party interesting and it was.

Zaiden's POV The next morning, I carried my daughter in my arms as I made my way toward Karen's room. This had become our routine. I would bring our little princess to her mother so they could spend time together. The baby was unusually fussy today. She kept whimpering softly against my chest. I kissed her forehead. "What's wrong, little one?" She only fussed harder. I frowned. That wasn't like her. As I approached the room, I noticed something strange. Too many frightened faces the healers where looking distressed. My footsteps slowed. Immediately, something felt wrong, terribly wrong. The closer I got, the heavier my chest became. Then suddenly a horrifying pain exploded through my entire body. I stopped walking. My breath caught. The baby immediately began crying. Something was wrong with the mate bond. My heart started racing. "No! No! No!" I kept repeating. A healer stepped forward. His face was pale. Terrified. "Alpha..." I looked at him. "What happene
Karen's POV Marciel, Zaden's mother came two days after the birth of my baby, I was so happy to see her because of course I haven't talked to her or even seen her since I got married to Zaiden. On the evening she came back, I had the maid come to take her things inside and I welcomed her into the house at first I thought it was me imagining it but she some how didn't really talk to me she just stared at me in disgust which I had absolutely no I deal why she had done that. I felt I had done something or was it because I couldn't get her what to eat? I asked myself. Then turning to her. "What would you like to have." I asked she looked at me in disappointment she shook her head and said to the maids. "Show me to my room." I was surprised because I don't recall doing anything to see her get angry at me, besides she just came. Maybe the journey was exhausting I thought trying to make excuses for her. Then it kept on happening and I kept assuring myself or was exhaustion from child
Four Months Later General POV "Push!" The midwife's voice rang through the room. Karen cried out in pain, her fingers clutching the sheets beneath her. Sweat covered her body and tears streamed down her face as another contraction tore through her. "You can do it, Luna! Just one more push!" Outside the room, Zaiden paced like a caged animal. His heart was pounding so hard he could hear it. Every scream that came from behind those doors felt like a blade slicing through his chest. Nothing had ever terrified him as much as hearing his mate in pain. Another scream echoed through the hallway. Zaiden stopped moving. His fists clenched. "Moon Goddess, please..." he whispered. Then suddenly, a baby's cry pierced through the air. The entire hallway fell silent. For a second, Zaiden couldn't breathe. The cry came again, his eyes widened. The baby was here. Without waiting for permission, he shoved the door open and rushed inside. His eyes immediately searched for only one p
Zaiden POV "Don't you ever talk about my mate that way." He sneered. "Karen is your weakness, Zaiden." The mention of Karen made my wolf stir violently. But I kept my face expressionless. "Say her name again." The threat in my voice was unmistakable. Cole smirked. He laughed. "Let's see what you've got," he said, laughing maniacally. A warrior burst into the clearing from the direction of the pack house. "Alpha!" The warrior stumbled to a stop. "Alpha..." His voice shook. "The restaurant was attacked." The entire world seemed to stop. Every muscle in my body locked. My blood ran cold. Karen. And with a deafening roar that echoed through the forest, I launched myself at Cole. Cole met me head-on. Our bodies collided with enough force to shake the ground beneath us. His jaws snapped toward my throat. I twisted away just in time and sank my teeth into his shoulder. Cole howled in pain and retaliated immediately, his claws raking across my side. A burning pain
Zaiden POV Few weeks later We where back together fully. Karen had resumed her work back at the restaurant and I was at the office, Alpha duties of course always keeping me busy. I was in my office attending to some documents when I heard a loud piercing scream outside. I hurriedly stood up and went by the window side to check. Just then, someone burst into the office. "Alpha! Alpha!" he called, panting heavily. "The Rogues have attacked us. Cole is their leader," he said. I turned to him, my eyes widened in shock. "What!!" "Get the warriors to strengthen their forces and the rest should protect women, children, and elderly. Take them to the safe house. We can't afford to loose them. Tell Charles to get to the restaurant immediately and protect my mate. If anything should happen to her, I'll have all of your heads rolling on the ground." "Yes, Alpha," he said and left. The doors shut behind him. I stood there for a few seconds longer, jaw tight, listening to the distant move
