That night, I lay beside her, unable

sleep. His eyes never leave her, watching her as she breathes softly, her chest rising and falling with each shallow breath. My hand gently rests on her belly, feeling the small life inside, the heir we both never expected especially after what we have both been through but now
now both cherish with every fiber of their being.

“I will not let anything take us apart this time,” I whispers to her, MY voice thick with emotion. “My heir will live this time. No harm will come your way. I promise you.”
For a long while, I stays still, lost in his thoughts, but then I feels a change. Amica’s breathing grows heavier, and I notices her stir slightly, as if she’s beginning to wake.
“Amica?” I calls softly,
She looks around, her gaze unfocused at first, as if she’s trying to piece together the fragments of her surroundings, the chaos, the pain…. and the warmth.
open.
Her eyes snap open.
For a moment, she just lies there, taking in her surroundings, her breathing growing heavier with each passing second.
Then her blue eyes find me
—
wide, frantic, searching – but there’s no recognition in them. Only fear.
“Amica?” I say softly, reaching for her.
She begins to hyperventilate, her chest rising and falling in sharp, panicked gasps.
“It’s okay… it’s okay,” I whisper as I pull her into my arms, holding her tightly against me.
She struggles, trying to push me away, her hands weak but desperate. But I don’t let go. I can’t.
I won’t let fear stand between us. She’s mine, and I’m hers
–
nothing will change that.
“Deckard, she sobs, her voice breaking.
“Yes, love, it’s me, I murmur into her hair. “I will never hurt you. I love you
–
you, and our little heir.”
Slowly, I loosen my hold, cupping her face gently between my hands.
I lower my head and press a soft kiss to her trembling lips.
At first, she hesitates… then, finally, she kisses me back, a broken but beautiful answer.

I keep my Luna under close watch now, ever since I heard about the pregnancy. She goes everywhere with me I won’t risk a single thing happening to her again.
I’ve heard every detail about what happened while I was gone.
What haunts me the most is that I wasn’t here to teach Mary the lesson of her life for all she put Amica through.
That fucking evil twat.
She was responsible for ruining our first pregnancy for stealing something so precious from us.
I can’t believe how easily she fooled me.
She always showed me her sweetest side, never letting her true face slip.
I underestimated just how dangerous she really was
how deep her rot ran.
And to make it even worse, she wasn’t just a liar
—
she was a parasite.

Chapter 193
The moment she heard I was dead, she ran straight into Darth’s bed, like the snake she is.
She never truly cared for me.
All she ever wanted was the power, the status, the crown of being Luna to the strongest pack.
That’s all I ever was to her
—
a
eans to an end.
The disgust I feel knowing she spread her legs for Darth
What the actual fuck.
Why Dane?
She really thought Darth was stupid enough to fall for it onto him.
Well, I’ll say this: she got exactly what she deserved.
I couldn’t have imagined a better punishment myself.
and Dane too
is enough to make my blood boil.
thought she could push the parasite of a pregnancy she carried for Dane
Her unborn child ripped out of her the same brutal way she destroyed Amica’s
with it.
Good riddance..
The battle is finally over, but the cost…
So many lives lost to get us here.
Even I almost didn’t make it.
It guts me that Ivar and George are gone.
They didn’t deserve to die like that.
And Austin… fuck.
All these death are on me.
This damn fire, this curse I carry.
I call a meeting with the men of the Apex Circle.
We gather to mourn, to honor the warriors who fell for this cause.

pregnancy – only hers was even worse. She lost her life
We carry out the burial rites, each man heavy with grief, each name carved into memory.
It’s a sad day, but if there’s any light in all of this darkness, it’s the relief I see in the faces of the Alphas.
Because after the little horror show Darth introduced them to in his short reign, they know much worse.
–
–
we all know this could have ended so
We have abandoned Blackthorn Castle for now while renovation is underway. Although we are not returning there because of the reminder it carries.
But we still live here in Blackwater because Amica insists on it.
Even though I wanted us to leave to put distance between us and the terrible memories carved into these streets- Amica refuses to turn her back on this city.
That’s who she is.
She doesn’t run away.
After a month, I finally begin preparations for the wedding Amica was robbed of so many times.
It was always one thing or the other one useless obstacle after another.

But today, nothing stands in our way.
Today, the wedding commences
–
between me and my destined mate.
It’s perfect.
Because this time, we’re
not alone.
We carry a third soul with
us
my future heir.

Whether boy or girl, I know they will be just as brave as their mother
the woman who walked through fire without a second thought who bore a scar on her hand as a permanent reminder of the battle we fought and won together.
I know my child will yield the dragon’s fire even better than I ever could.
I know they will carry the strength and spirit of their mother.
Today, I stand in front of the only woman who never turned her back on me
She stayed.
She chose me
–
again and again.
And I swear before the Goddess and every star that will ever shine over us
I will never abandon her.
– even after everything I put her through.
She looks so beautiful
–
even more beautiful than the Moon Goddess herself.
Her skin glows so fiercely, the sun’s got nothing on her.
Maybe it’s the pregnancy, but her skin looks richer, softer, like velvet I ache to touch.
As we stand before the priest, in the presence of everyone, ready to be officially bound together, my eyes can’t help but drift to her cleavage full, round, and impossibly tempting.
—
Are they getting bigger? Fuller?
Damn.
I’ve never had anyone carry my child before.
I always thought pregnant women just grew a big belly – but this?
This is something else entirely.
Or maybe… it’s just Amica.
Everything about her is magic.
I can barely wait for the ceremony to end.
I just want to bury myself in her, lose myself in her warmth, and never come back out.
After we say our “I do’s,” the crowd erupts in cheers and claps but I hardly hear any of it.
All I can think about is her my mate, my wife, my everything
–
I kiss her like it’s my first time all over again.
Hell, every time I taste her lips, it’s sweeter than the last.
No one
–
no one – is as beautiful as she is
And standing here now, with her in my arms, I know without a doubt
everything we went through was worth it.

All of it led me to this moment.
To her.

At night, in the dimly lit, romantically decorated bedroom – just the way I instructed — I slowly slip the rich silk gown from her body.
It hugs her curves perfectly, the delicate lace brushing over her arms, resting along the swell of her cleavage.
I peel it away, revealing her to me — so beautiful, so ethereal it steals the very breath from my lungs.
I gently carry that beautiful firm breasts with my hands and savor every inch of her until my tongue finds her sensitive, pink nipples, teasing gently while Amica clutches me tighter, holding me to her chest like she owns me.
And truly
–
she does.
I lay her back against the bed, parting her thighs with aching care to reveal her sacred, breathtaking self to me.
A rush of citrus and coconut greets me – her natural scent is pure and intoxicating.
I lower myself between her legs, tasting her sweetness, feeling the violent pull it sends aggressively to my cock, hard and ready like a drawn sword.
Amica rocks my head around her in a sweet motion, her body stifling and releasing pleasure at each stroke of my tongue.
Her body stiffens and shudders with every stroke of my tongue, each wave of pleasure tearing soft cries from her lips.
My lips find their way back up to her, and she kisses it in a hunger like she was dying to taste herself through me.
I cradle her from behind, sliding deep into her with slow, worshipful thrusts.
Her moans fill the darkened room, whispering against my ear with broken confessions of “I love you,” over and over.
And as I move inside her, feeling her raw skin against mine, I know without doubt
if she loves me, I love her even more.
More than life itself.
We head back to the Manor a few days later – back to reality.
Leonard, my Beta, is the first to welcome us at the door.
The Manor, though grand, is almost as large and imposing as Blackthorn Castle.
The castle had been my father’s gift, my inheritance by blood.
But the Manor – this was something I built myself, meant for my own heirs one day.
I don’t mind a few of my pack members living in different wings.
It’s the life I’ve always known – I am rarely without company.
I urge Amica to go inside and rest while I handle some matters with the pack,
There are things that need my attention, things I cannot delay.
Sitting alone in my office, sorting through the mess that comes with leadership, I hear a soft knock on the door.
“Come in,” I call out distractedly, barely glancing up.
I don’t bother – I already know who it is.
That herbal, minty scent gives them away immediately.
I would recognize it anywhere.

I tap my fingers against the desk, the silence stretching too long, too thick.
Finally, I lift my eyes and say in a low voice, “What do you want?”
“Well,” she say, tone calm tone.
“I’ve given you time. Space. I even stood aside and allowed you the chance to get married.”
she pauses, a glint in their eye.
“Now it’s time for you to fulfill your promise.”
