A Truth Long Delayed for the Alpha Novel – but mangled silence. That morning, Pack Doctor Jason called with news. “That woman is avoiding her prenatal checkups again.
What stunt is she pulling to get your attention this time?” A flicker of disgust crossed Alpha Caius’s sharp features. Beside him, Mason, the family butler, hesitated before speaking, his face pale. “Alpha, Luna is still up there.
And she’s terribly afraid of heights—she won’t even step onto a second-floor balcony. Now that she’s so far along… could something have happened?” For a fleeting moment, Alpha Caius’s expression faltered. “Afraid of heights?” he echoed, as if hearing it for the first time.
Before Mason could confirm, Alpha Caius scoffed. “It’s just a little drop. It’s not as if she’s leaping off a cliff. Let her be scared—maybe it’ll teach her not to torment Seraphina again.” Mason bowed his head, unwilling to argue further.
But his Beta assistant could no longer hold back. “Alpha, at first Luna was screaming. But then… she went completely silent. And she’s carrying your pup—your heir. Shouldn’t you at least check on her?” For a moment, something unreadable flickered in Caius’s eyes.
But just as quickly, scorn replaced it. “I knew it. Even her fear of heights is just an act. If she were truly terrified, she wouldn’t have gone quiet. Aeris is as manipulative as ever. Since she wants attention so badly, let her stay there until morning.
Then she can kneel before Seraphina and beg for forgiveness.” With that, he dismissed any further objections and strode towards his chambers. Inside, Seraphina lay draped in silken sheets, her delicate shoulders exposed beneath the dim glow of candlelight.
Alpha Caius’s gaze darkened as he approached, his desire stirring as he leaned down and captured her lips in a deep, possessive kiss.
