I've always cherished Bryson Taylor, my dearest friend, despite knowing our relationship was impossible due to our different standings - I was just a low-ranking member while he was destined to become an alpha's heir. Fate, however, took an unexpected turn, binding us together as mates. Initially, it seemed like our lives were falling into place, but then tragedy struck, compelling me to leave him and our pack to protect him and those I cared about. Now, weeks have passed, and a secret burden has grown within me – I'm pregnant with his child. The thought of raising our child alone, without his presence, weighs heavily on my heart. As fate would have it, one day, our paths crossed unexpectedly once more. "He's my son," a voice declares, "I am his rightful father. This time, Emily, you won't escape from me. Both you and our child belong here, with the pack."
