Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 3 – where is my son?

"Mom, I’m glad you’re back," a child’s voice rang out, sharp with relief and fear. "This vile woman wanted to take me away."

"Don’t worry, little champ," another voice answered gently, firm with authority. "No one can take you away from us. Your father would never allow it."

The voices reached Luna Seraphine long before she could open her eyes.

They drifted in and out of her consciousness, echoing through her mind like fragments of a dream she did not want to remember.

When her lashes finally fluttered open, the familiar wooden beams of the pack house ceiling came into view, recognizable, yet distant, as though she were seeing them through water.

How she had gotten here, she had no idea. The last clear memory burned vividly in her mind: her knees giving way, her body collapsing as the maternity test result slipped from her trembling fingers and hit the floor.

But that made no sense. No, her heart thundered painfully against her ribs. She had been pregnant after that night. The night Ravyn forced himself on her.

The night that bound her to him in a marriage she always desired.

She carried that pregnancy for nine long months, enduring the pain, the nausea, the exhaustion, and every other discomfort that came with it.

She went into labor, screamed, bled. She heard the sharp, unmistakable cry of a newborn before the world went black and exhaustion dragged her under. She had given birth so what exactly was going on?

Alpha Ravyn’s cold, merciless eyes were the first thing she saw clearly. They bored into hers with unrestrained fury. "How dare you try to steal my son from me?" he growled. "Do you have a death wish?"
