LOGINWhile Raquel endured the operation inside the packhouse, Carlisle was wandering somewhere deep within the forest, completely consumed by the turmoil raging inside him.The entire Red Moon Pack had fallen into chaos.Orders echoed through every corner of the territory as warriors rushed in every direction. Some searched desperately for Victoria while others struggled to understand why their Alpha’s emotions had suddenly become so unstable.Inside the clinic, none of that reached the people fighting for Raquel’s life.The doctor and the healer knew nothing about the confusion outside.Their attention remained fixed on the woman lying before them.The operation continued for hours.Blood soaked one towel after another as the healer cleaned the wound and handed fresh cloths and instruments to the doctor without pause.Then both of them noticed something unexpected.The bleeding finally began to slow.Raquel’s wolf had started healing her.Until that moment, her body had barely responded,
Another hour passed, but despite everything they tried, the outcome refused to change.The old doctor and the healer worked without stopping, determined to save the unborn pup while there was still the slightest chance. They tried every treatment they knew, hoping they could stabilize the pregnancy, but each attempt was undone by Raquel herself. She resisted them again and again until they reached the point where there was simply nothing left to try.The tiny heartbeat they had been desperately searching for began to fade.It grew weaker with every passing second until, at last, it disappeared.Silence settled over the room.The old doctor frowned and leaned closer, pressing his fingers gently against Raquel’s abdomen while listening one more time. For a moment, he convinced himself that perhaps his aging ears had failed him. He searched carefully, hoping to catch even the faintest sign of life, unwilling to believe what the silence was telling him.There was nothing.The pup was gone
Raquel had expected everything to reach this point.She understood something that almost no one else did. Carlisle believed she was the royal princess, and because of that, if the situation ever became so desperate that only one life could be saved, she already knew which choice he would make.He would save her.To Raquel, losing this pregnancy was not the end of the world. There could always be another child in the future. Her own death, however, would create a political catastrophe. If the woman Carlisle believed to be the royal princess died inside his territory, he would have to answer directly to the Alpha King. It would become a failure that could cost him everything.Carlisle would never willingly let that happen, and Raquel was counting on it.She was gambling with her own life because she believed the odds were completely in her favor.“I said it hurts!” she suddenly screamed, her composure finally breaking. “Can’t you do something about the pain?”Her voice rang through the
The old doctor had already reached out to Carlisle twice through the mind link. He never openly admitted that the situation was slipping beyond his control, but every update carried the same message. Raquel’s condition was getting worse, and despite everything he was doing, he wasn’t sure how much longer he could keep both her and the unborn child alive.Carlisle refused to entertain the possibility of failure. As far as he was concerned, there was only one acceptable outcome. Raquel had to survive, and so did the pup.“Please… Doctor… save my pup… my pup…” Raquel whispered weakly.Her voice was barely audible as she drifted in and out of consciousness. Blood continued to run down her legs, staining the sheets beneath her. Normally, her wolf would have already begun repairing the damage caused by the fall, but the injuries inside her body were too severe. Worse still, every wave of fear and panic she surrendered to only made the pup’s condition more unstable. The old doctor’s heart gr
There was a brief silence before Carlisle answered.“Alright.”His voice was calm. Almost too calm.“Come to my suite. We’ll talk there.”Sylas didn’t know what else to say.He ended the connection and headed toward the Alpha’s private quarters.On the way, he made a detour to the small clinic attached to the packhouse, where both the pack doctor and healer stayed.Unlike the main hospital, this clinic existed for emergencies involving the Alpha’s household. Whenever someone from the Alpha’s immediate family was injured or suddenly fell ill, treatment began there before a transfer became necessary.Carlisle had specifically instructed Sylas to speak with both of them.As Sylas reached the entrance, he lifted a hand to knock.Then he stopped.Voices drifted through the slightly open door.Neither of the people inside seemed to notice someone had arrived. They were so absorbed in their discussion that Sylas’s footsteps went completely unheard.Just as his knuckles were about to touch th
It all happened in the blink of an eye.When Raquel lost her footing and went crashing down the staircase, one of the omegas instinctively moved in front of the others as though trying to shield them from what was happening. Everything unfolded so quickly that none of the remaining omegas actually saw the exact moment Victoria and Raquel went over the steps together.What stayed with them was something else entirely.The last thing they remembered clearly was the terrified scream of the omega who was now dead.“Victoria pushed Raquel!”The accusation rang through the hallway, sharp enough to freeze everyone in place for a heartbeat before panic erupted. By the time they rushed toward the stairs, confusion had already swallowed every clear memory. Fear took over, leaving everyone struggling to piece together what they had actually witnessed.That particular omega had not been just another servant.She had served Raquel more closely than anyone else and had become the person Raquel trus
Victoria’s POVI felt like I was losing my mind in the middle of Carlisle’s constant shifts between warmth and cold distance. One moment he was distant and unreadable, and the next he was right here, overwhelming me completely. My heart struggled to keep up with him, with the way he pulled me in on
Carlisle’s POV I didn’t stop. I kept thrusting into her from behind. Into Tori. Relentless and commanding, never changing our position. One hand wrapped firmly around her neck, tilting her chin upward so she was forced to stare at the ceiling, while the other cupped her breast. My fingers diggi
Victoria's POV Every touch sent shivers racing across my skin, igniting a fire that burned hotter with every second. My core pulsed with heat, growing slick with need. I hated how easily he unraveled me, how effortlessly he awakened a craving I had spent three years trying to suppress. My toes c
Victoria's POV Raquel didn't need to complete her statement. The unspoken words hung in the air, allowing everyone to fill in the blanks with their own assumptions. Speculation spread like wildfire through the hall. What Raquel truly wanted was for everyone to believe that, as Carlisle’s curren
