~Caspain’s POV~

Cayden kept spitting out nonsense as I shoved him back, his words cutting into me like a thousand silver blades. I refused to believe it. No. This couldn’t be true. She wasn’t what he said. She’s not a whore. She’s my mate. She’s now my wife. She deserves at the very least....an ounce of doubt.

I turned to look at her, my heart in my throat. Hazel lay there on the cold marble floor, barely conscious, her pale face damp with sweat. Her breathing was shallow, but it was steadying—thank the Goddess.

She’s pregnant.

I could feel it. My wolf could sense it. But for who?

"I tried to warn you, Beta Caspian," came that nauseating voice. Sophia. Her tone dripped with faux sympathy as she slithered closer, her hands creeping up to rest on my shoulders. "Hazel is disgusting. I told you to come to me," she purred, her lips brushing against my ear like venom. "It’s not too late to let her go... You can divorce her right here." Correct content is on NovelFire.

She smirked, and her father chimed in eagerly, clearly waiting for the moment to pounce. "I can sign the divorce paper right here on her behalf, since she’s my daughter."

I blinked at both of them in disbelief, my rage bubbling to the surface. How dare they? How dare they even speak of her like this, especially in her vulnerable state?

I shoved Sophia off me with more force than necessary, and she stumbled back in her heels, her eyes widening in shock. "Even if she’s pregnant with another man’s child even if that man is a human, I just said my vows to her. I vowed to protect her. And I will."

My voice dropped into a dangerous growl, filled with power and threat. "No one will speak another terrible word about my wife... or I’ll behead you where you stand."

I turned my head slightly toward Cayden. "And you’d better do the same."

Without waiting for a reply, I crouched low, gently lifting Hazel into my arms, cradling her like something fragile and priceless. She didn’t stir, just whimpered softly. I carried her through the crowd.

The healer trailed behind as I brought her straight to my chambers.

....

The moment the healer emerged from the room, I didn’t waste a second—I rushed in. My heart thundered in my chest, louder than my steps.

Hazel sat up weakly on the bed, her frame trembling. She looked so small—so breakable. Her eyes flicked around the room, disoriented, like she was still catching up with reality. She looked at me, her expression raw with confusion and fear.

"Why am I here?" she whispered, voice hoarse. "I thought... I was supposed to be at the aisle..."

I took a deep breath and sat beside her, gently reaching for her hand. She flinched at first, but after a long pause, she let me hold it. Her fingers were cold, but I held them tighter, grounding her.

"How are you?" I asked softly, trying to keep my voice gentle. I didn’t want to scare her. Goddess knows she’s been through enough.

She gave a weak nod. "What happened?"

"Look," I said slowly, my stomach twisting, "I’ll need you to answer some questions."

She nodded again, a frown forming between her brows. Her curiosity was innocent... but my questions were anything but.

"Have you had sex with anyone recently?"

Her brows shot up, a look of utter confusion taking over. "Uhm... yeah, with... you...r..." she stammered.

I squeezed her hand tighter, trying to keep her steady.
