Chapter 1 His Legacy

• The sound of water splashing echoed from the bathroom, followed by Selene's labored breathing as she emerged, her face pale and drained. Her eyes fixed on the pregnancy test in her trembling hand, her mind reeling with disbelief.
• "No, I can't be pregnant...what have I gotten myself into?" she thought, her heart racing with fear.
• Days of weakness and near-vomiting had led her to this moment, and the reality was crushing her. The memory of the heartless Alpha's cruel words echoed in her mind:
• "Take this pill and never return." The pill she had refused, and now...now she was pregnant.
• Monica's voice pierced the air as she entered the room, her eyes widening in shock.
• "Oh my God, don't tell me what you said is true!" Selene's tears burst forth, her body shaking with sobs.
• "He'll kill me if he finds out," she whispered, her voice trembling.
• Monica's face set in determination.
• "We won't let him find out, Selene. We can't let him find out you're pregnant with his child." But Selene's fear was unassuaged.
• "He'll find out, Monica. He'll find me." Her voice cracked, her body swaying weakly.
• Monica rushed to her side, supporting her.
• "Look at you, you're so pale already." She rubbed Selene's back, trying to comfort her.
• "You'll be fine," she said, but Selene shook her head, her eyes wild with fear.
• "I'll be dead if he finds me." Selene said
• "We'll find a solution to this, Selene. I promise. Don't you trust me?" Monica's voice was laced with conviction, her eyes shining with determination. Selene's tears slowed, her breathing steadying as she gazed at her friend.
• She nodded, a small smile on her lips, as Monica's words soothed her frazzled nerves.
• "Come on, get dressed. We're late for work," Monica said, her tone gentle but firm. She helped Selene up, supporting her as she wobbled slightly. Selene's legs felt like jelly, her mind still reeling from the pregnancy test's revelation.
• Monica guided her to the bathroom, Selene's thoughts raced. How would she face the Alpha, the father of her unborn child?.
• The man who had forced himself upon her, leaving her with a memory she couldn't shake? Fear and anxiety warred within her, but Monica's presence and reassurance offered a beacon of hope.

• Selene's heels clicked on the pavement as she walked home from work, her mind preoccupied with the day's events. But as she walked down her street, she sensed a presence behind her. She quickened her pace, her heart beating faster, but the footsteps kept pace with hers.
• She turned around, but the stranger's face was obscured by a hoodie. Her instincts screamed warning, but before she could react, a hand cover her mouth and a needle plunged into her arm. A warm sensation spread through her body, and her legs buckled.
• She fell down and the world around her blurred, and she felt herself being lifted and carried away. Her mind raced, but her body was paralyzed, unable to resist.
• The last thing she remembered was the sound of footsteps fading into the distance, leaving her trapped in a darkness that seemed to have no end.
• *
• Selene's eyes fluttered open, and she found herself ensconced in a lavish king-sized bed, surrounded by opulent furnishings that seemed to suffocate her. Her mind raced as she struggled to recall how she got there.
• "Where am I?" she whispered to herself, her voice trembling.
• Before she could gather her bearings, a maid dressed in a crisp uniform entered the room, her expression impassive.
• "Oh, finally, you're awake," she said, her tone devoid of emotion. Selene's heart skipped a beat as the maid promptly exited the room, leaving her alone and bewildered.
• The silence that followed was deafening, and Selene's intuition screamed warnings.
• She knew, with a sinking feeling, that she was in the lair of the Alpha, the man who had haunted her nightmares. Her eyes welled up with tears as fear and panic overwhelmed her.
• "I'm finally going to be killed...he found me," she sobbed, her body shaking uncontrollably.
• The bed seemed to shrink, becoming a prison, as she realized she was trapped. The Alpha's presence loomed large, suffocating her, and she knew she was at his mercy.
• The thought sent a chill down her spine, and her tears flowed unchecked, a desperate cry for help that seemed to go unheard.
• "I warned you...I told you to take the pills!" Alpha Nathan's thunderous voice echoed through the room, his anger palpable. Selene cowered, her body trembling as she lost control, a dark stain spreading on her pants.
• "I did...I took the pills," she stammered, her voice barely audible.
• Alpha Nathan's face turned red with rage.
• "You didn't...you had the gut to get pregnant for me!" he roared, his eyes blazing with fury.
• "You defied me, Selene! You disobeyed me!"
• Selene's tears flowed uncontrollably as she shook her head, her eyes pleading for mercy.
• "I didn't mean to...I was scared..." Alpha Nathan's laughter was cold and menacing.
• "Scared? You should be scared. You should be terrified." He took a step closer, his eyes glinting with malice.
• "You will pay for your disobedience, Selene. You will pay dearly," Alpha Nathan's voice dripped with malevolence, his eyes gleaming with a sinister intensity.
• Selene's sobs grew louder, her body shaking uncontrollably as she begged for mercy.
• "Please...don't kill me," she cried, her voice cracking with desperation.
• "I'll do anything, just spare my life." Alpha Nathan's expression remained unyielding, his face a mask of stone.
• “How could you be so reckless? You know the consequences of disobeying my rules!” Alpha Nathan's voice thundered, his eyes blazing with intensity.
• Selene trembled, tears streaming down her face. “I-I thought I took the necessary precautions. I didn't mean to defy you.”
• Nathan's expression darkened. “You have put yourself in grave danger, Selene and you must pay with your life!”
• “Please..don’t kill me,I will do anything please..Alpha” Selene was at the edge of fainting because of her health
• "You will be an example to all those who dare to cross me. Your fate will serve as a reminder of the price of disobedience."
• Selene's tears fell like rain, her heart racing with terror as she realized the extent of her predicament. She was at the mercy of a ruthless Alpha, with no escape from his wrath.
• "You know you can't kill her, Nathan," Kato's voice was low and urgent, his words echoing in Nathan's mind.
• "She's the last chance you have at continuing your lineage. You will never have another opportunity to produce an heir in this lifetime again."
• Nathan's hand, which had been poised to deliver the fatal blow, hesitated, his fingers trembling with restrained fury. He glared at Selene, his eyes blazing with a mixture of anger and frustration.
• Kato's words struck a chord deep within him, resonating with a truth he couldn't deny. His wolf's logic was unassailable - if he killed Selene, he would be extinguishing the last hope for his genetic legacy.
• With a growl, Nathan's hand dropped, his arm relaxing as the tension seeped out of his body. His eyes never left Selene's face, but the fire in his gaze dimmed, replaced by a calculating coldness.
• "You're right, Kato," Nathan's voice was a cold, detached whisper, his words hanging in the air like a sentence of reprieve.
• "I won't kill her...yet." He smirked, a cruel smile that sent shivers down Selene's spine, before turning and walking away, leaving her alone in the opulent room.
• Selene's eyes remained closed, her body still braced for the impact of his wrath. She had been certain that her fate was sealed, that Nathan's mercy was a distant memory.
• But as the silence stretched out, she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze fluttering around the room like a trapped bird.
• The sound of footsteps echoed outside, and a maid entered, her expression a mask of neutrality.
• "I'll take you to the bathroom, you need to clean up," she said, her voice devoid of emotion.
• Selene groaned, her body aching from the ordeal.
• "Ugh..." she muttered, her voice barely audible, as she struggled to sit up, her limbs feeling like lead weights.
• The maid offered a tentative hand, helping her up, and Selene leaned on her, her legs wobbly beneath her.
• Selene's mind raced, wondering what new torment awaited her, what fresh hell Nathan had in store.
