Beside her, her wolf whined softly, its pain palpable, echoing the turmoil in her heart.

What remained hidden from her was the harrowing truth: Rowan had met his end on the very day they laid Evelyn to rest. That fateful day, when Evelyn had staged her own demise in a tragic car accident, she had returned home with a purpose. Almost immediately, she reached out to Alpha Aldric, sharing damning video evidence of Rowan's relentless attempts to harm her. For what felt like an eternity, Alpha Aldric remained silent, perhaps weighing the gravity of the situation. Finally, he broke the silence, offering an apology on Rowan's behalf, then inquired how Evelyn wished to proceed.

Evelyn, with a steely resolve, didn't seek any form of compensation; her only demand was for justice. She insisted that Alpha Aldric keep her survival a closely guarded secret, a pact of silence forged in the shadows of betrayal. That very night, Rowan was called back to the pack, summoned to face the consequences of his actions. The following day, as the pack gathered to mourn Evelyn, Rowan arrived, oblivious to the storm brewing around him.

Alpha Aldric wasted no time, ordering his immediate imprisonment in the dungeon, instructing him to contemplate his actions and prepare for the inevitable reckoning. Yet, Rowan's arrogance blinded him to his wrongs. He harbored a deep-seated belief that his birthright excused his behavior, that he was above reproach. As darkness enveloped the pack that night, Rowan managed to escape the confines of the dungeon, slipping away into the night like a shadow. Alpha Aldric dispatched warriors to hunt him down, but Rowan fled deep into the heart of a secluded forest.

There, he was ambushed by a rogue pack, and amidst the chaos, he succumbed to his wounds, bleeding out in the unforgiving wilderness. Back in the desolate living room of her home, Natalia sat in a daze, her complexion ashen and her spirit shaken. She instinctively placed a hand on her belly, contemplating her next move. The weight of her choices pressed heavily on her, but one thought stood out: she needed to cling to Dante. After all, whispers of their scandal had spread like wildfire. No Alpha, save for Rowan, would ever consider her worthy of being his Luna.

With Rowan gone, Dante, despite his fall from grace, remained a former Alpha-a starved wolf still held more power than a mere pup. If she could endure this tumultuous period and maintain her hold on Dante for just five years, perhaps he would reclaim his position of power one day. But the shift in Dante's demeanor left her unsettled. As anxiety gnawed at her, she rummaged through her suitcase until her fingers brushed against a small vial, a relic from her childhood given to her by her mother. Months slipped by, and soon the day of her due date arrived.

On the day she brought their child into the world, Dante's presence was fleeting; he visited the hospital only briefly before hastily departing. In the sterile confines of the hospital room, Natalia's heart ached as she watched him retreat, tears threatening to spill over. "Aren't you going to see your child?" she called out, her voice a mix of hope and despair. Dante halted, a shadow passing over his features, before he quickened his pace, leaving her behind. Despite the emotional turmoil, she had successfully given birth to the heir of the Stormwatch Pack.

With Evelyn no longer a threat and Dante no longer forcing her from Frosthaven, she found a flicker of solace in her circumstances. Even if he had turned his back on her, what did it matter? The world believed her to be Dante's partner. Twenty days later, Natalia set her sights on organizing a baby shower. That evening, she pleaded with Dante, "Please come for the sake of our baby. If you don't show up, people will gossip. He'll grow up under scrutiny." Dante, reluctant to indulge her plea, felt the weight of the child's innocence tugging at his heart.

"...Fine," he relented, though his tone suggested he was far from pleased. Ten days later, the baby shower for Draven unfolded as planned, with guests arriving in droves, drawn by Natalia's announcement of Dante's attendance. Even amidst the whispers of his punishment, the guests treated him with a semblance of respect. Natalia stood among the gathering crowd, a radiant smile illuminating her face, every graceful movement exuding the confidence of a true Luna-Dante's rightful mate, in her own eyes.

When Dante finally made his entrance, he overheard her discussing pack affairs with an air of authority. His expression turned icy, and he interrupted her with a sharp edge to his voice. "Watch your words. You're in no position to speak about pack matters in public." His voice rang out loudly, cutting through the chatter, leaving many guests stunned. Natalia felt a chill run down her spine. For a brief moment, she froze, her complexion paling, but she quickly masked her discomfort with a forced smile. "I'm doing this for the baby... Please don't be angry.

Come sit down, it's about to begin," she coaxed softly, her tone laced with desperation as she tried to soothe him into compliance. After what felt like an eternity of persuasion, Dante finally took a seat, though his reluctance was palpable. Meanwhile, Felicity sat in her car, her gaze fixed on the extravagant baby shower unfolding within the church. A bitter smile crept across her lips as she dialed Evelyn's number. "Evelyn, I've printed the medical report and the paternity test just as you instructed.

Someone will deliver a little surprise to Dante tonight," she said, her voice laced with satisfaction. Initially, she had planned to procure a strand of Draven's hair for the paternity test, a task that would have required finesse. However, Natalia's harsh treatment of the housemaids had unexpectedly simplified her mission. Not only did Natalia look down on the maids, but she also took pleasure in nitpicking their every action, berating them for the smallest mistakes.

So when Evelyn discreetly approached one of the maids, offering nothing but a sympathetic ear, the maid readily agreed to help her pull out a strand of Draven's hair, eager to vent her frustrations. Inside the church, a guest stood on the second floor, surveying the gathering below. With a swift motion, she opened a box filled with sheets of white paper and released its contents over the balcony. The papers cascaded down like delicate snowflakes, swirling through the air of the church.

"What on earth is this?" Standing beside the priest, Natalia stiffened, ready to caution everyone against touching the mysterious blank sheets when Dante, with a swift movement, snatched one from the air. It was his medical report. As he scanned the document, his body froze in shock. There, printed clearly at the top, was his name: **Name: Dante Vance** **Sex: Male** **Diagnosis: Infertility due to accidental ingestion of a witch's fruit** Dante's pupils dilated sharply, his grip on the report tightening until his knuckles turned white.

Panic washed over him as he pulled out a second document-a photocopy of a DNA paternity report. **Conclusion: Based on the available information and DNA analysis, Dante Vance is excluded as the biological father of the child, Draven Vance.** A third document followed suit-another paternity test. **Conclusion: Based on the available information and DNA analysis, Rowan Vaughn is confirmed as the biological father of the child, Draven Vance.** The final set of documents contained photographs, each capturing moments of intimacy between Rowan and Natalia, taken on various dates.

Dante's expression darkened with each revelation, the weight of betrayal settling heavily upon him. He turned to glare at Natalia, his eyes radiating a bone-chilling coldness, as if he could shatter her with his gaze. "The child isn't mine?" he asked, his voice low and dangerous, a storm brewing within him. Conclusion In the aftermath of the shocking revelations, Natalia stood frozen, the weight of her choices crashing down upon her like a relentless tide.

The once vibrant atmosphere of the baby shower had transformed into a suffocating silence, punctuated only by the furious heartbeat in her chest. The truth hung in the air, thick and suffocating, as Dante's eyes bore into her, filled with a mixture of rage and disbelief. In that moment, the façade she had carefully crafted began to crumble, leaving her exposed and vulnerable. She had fought so hard to secure her place beside Dante, to ensure a future for their child, but now, as the truth unraveled, she realized that the very foundation of her hopes was built on a lie.

The betrayal she had orchestrated to protect herself now threatened to consume her entirely, and the fragile dreams of a united family shattered like glass under the weight of Dante's unyielding gaze. As the echoes of the past collided with the harsh reality of the present, Natalia felt the first stirrings of regret seep into her heart. The pain of her choices weighed heavily on her, and for the first time, she questioned whether her pursuit of power and acceptance had been worth the cost.

The love she had longed for from Dante now felt like a distant memory, overshadowed by the betrayal that had come to define their relationship. In that moment of reckoning, she understood that the path she had chosen would lead to irrevocable consequences, not just for herself, but for Draven as well. With tears welling in her eyes, she braced herself for the storm that was about to erupt, knowing that the fragile ties that bound them together would either shatter completely or transform into something unrecognizable.
