Chapter 1

Natalia*** Four Years Ago….

Up until this morning, my life had been quite simple. I was the Alpha’s human mate. I was his Luna. I was his wife. And then, in a blink of an eye, I was nothing… .

A surge of pain ripples from my abdomen as I wait for the doctor to return with my test results. I’ve been getting these pains a lot recently and they are starting to freak me out. Doctor Lila said it was all in my head, that I was simply putting too much pressure on myself to get pregnant.

She couldn’t have been more wrong.

I grip the edge of the table, whimpering to myself as I let the pain roll through on its own. The walls feel as though they are closing in on me at the thought of receiving another negative test result. Christian and I had been trying for several months now and I could feel it driving a wedge between us. He was colder, distant. I knew how much he wanted a son and it hurt to know I was failing so miserably to make him happy.
