Survive labor alone and protect the unborn heir.
Luna Ariana, nine months along with the Moonscar Pack's future Alpha, wakes in a silver-lined cell beneath the Healing Sanctum. Wolfsbane Suppressant dulls her wolf as contractions tear through her. Her fated mate, Kane Morgansire, refuses a hospital transfer, choosing instead to wait at Vera's bedside — his former lover delivering the male heir the Blood Moon Oath demands. Ariana's pleas for their child's life earn only a throttling grip and the accusation she craves inheritance. Kane remains with Vera's newborn through the night; only after cradling that son does he send his Beta to free Ariana. The report returns: mother and baby have vanished, and the Alpha fractures.
