Nyx stood outside the locked room, her eyes fixed intently on the lock as if willing it to open. Her glowing eyes flickered briefly before returning to normal when the sudden sound of her phone ringing
broke her concentration.
She pulled her phone from her pocket, nced at the screen to see who was calling, and answered in
a low voice.
"Hello."
"Did you get it yet?" came the impatient voice on the other end.
Nyx''s gaze darted back to the door. She hesitated before replying, "Not yet."
"How long? We''reing soon," the voice snapped.
Her hand trembled slightly as she held the phone to her ear. "I''ll let you know very soon," she said, her
voice strained.
The caller hung up without another word. Nyx exhaled shakily, lowering the phone from her ear. Her fingers tightened around the device as she stared at the locked door, a mixture of fear and determination etched on her face.
But before she could act further, a voice whispered softly in her ear, sending chills down her spine.
"Are you looking for something inside?"
Nyx spun around, clutching her chest in shock. Her body jerked back instinctively, and her wide eyes
"You almost scared me to death," Nyx muttered, trying to steady her breath.
Selene raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a cold smirk.
"Why so scared? Is this how you n to bring Alpha Kane''s heir into the world?" Nyx took a deep breath, collecting herself. "Look, Sister-"
But Selene raised her hand, cutting her off mid-sentence. Her voice was sharp and unwavering. "Don''t call me that. And stop your little act in front of me, okay? What do you think happens now, after you''ve snatched my husband from me? Let me guess-you expect me to willingly hand over my position, and you''ll be the Luna of this pack?"
Selene leaned closer, her gaze icy as she spat, "Dream on, witch."
Nyx''s eyes widened in shock at the word, but Selene''s expression only hardened.
"What did you think?" Selene continued, her tone dripping with disdain. "That it would be hard for me to uncover the truth about you and your pack? The Shadowveil Pack-thend of witches and wizards. Your secret wasn''t exactly well-hidden."
Nyx''s face shifted then, her innocent mask slipping away. A sly grin spread across her lips, her green eyes glinting with something darker.
"If you already know who I am," Nyx said, her voice smooth and confident, "then you must also know

that we witches have the ability to see things that werewolves can''t."
Nyx''s gaze deliberately dropped to Selene''s stomach. Her grin widened into a smirk.
"You''re pregnant, aren''t you?"
Selene''s body stiffened at the words, her eyes shing bright blue with fury. In an instant, her hand s hot out, grabbing Nyx by the neck and mming her against the wall behind her.
Nyx gasped in pain as her back hit the wall. Her hands instinctively moved to her stomach rather than trying to pry Selene''s hand from her throat.
"If
f you dare tell anyone about it," Selene growled, her voice low and deadly, "I swear, it will only take me a minute to end you, witch. The wolf inside me is wing to tear you apart. But as a woman, I won''t harm your unborn child."
Selene''s piercing blue eyes bore into Nyx, her voice cutting like a de. Nyx opened her glowing green eyes, locking onto Selene''s as though trying to manipte her with magic. But the power in Selene''s gaze was overwhelming- Nyx''s magic faltered, failingpletely against the strength of the Luna''s wolf.
Instead, Nyx cried out, clutching her stomach as a sharp pain rippled through her body.
"Please don''t kill my baby," Nyx pleaded, her voice trembling.
Selene narrowed her eyes, suspicious of her words. She thought Nyx was pretending-her grip on the witch''s neck wasn''t even tight enough to cause harm.
At that moment, amanding voice broke through the tension.
"Leave her."
Selene froze, her head snapping toward the source of the voice. Kane stood behind them, his expression dark and unreadable as his amber eyes flickered with warning.
